Top issues during term (20)
Prohibition of AI data centers in all zones
No immediate fiscal impact; a ban could forgo future data center tax revenue but preserves commercial land for job-producing uses.
Boulder Mountain Open Space Acquisition
$1.185 million from the habitat mitigation in-lieu fee fund, which is replenished by developer fees and interest income.
