Top issues during term (20)
Data Center Moratorium Extension
A data center at the RIC could bring roughly $10 million a year in new property tax revenue, but the city is pausing to make sure water, power, and neighborhood costs don't land on residents.
Sewer and Water Rate Increases
A water rate study is underway and could lead to the first rate increase since 2019.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Update
No impact fees on ADUs at or under 750 square feet (or junior ADUs under 500 square feet) means less revenue to the city but cheaper projects for homeowners.
Paradise Village Supportive Housing
$361,000 general fund subsidy proposed; PLHA support ends by 2028.
Short-Term Rental Regulations
Potential future permit fees and Transient Occupancy Tax revenue are not yet defined.
Boyett Petroleum economic incentive agreement
Based on 2025 sales, the deal could net the city about $195,000 a year in new sales tax revenue it wouldn't otherwise see.
Special August 4 meeting on Riverwalk project
The project would generate about $4 million in community benefit fees, $10 million in traffic fees, $4+ million in fire impact fees, and up to $2 million a year in general fund surplus per the applicant — while opponents warn of costly sewer expansion and rate increases.
Groundwater Sustainability Plan Amendments
Potential extraction fees or cost allocations for urban users remain under discussion; the well mitigation program protects well owners.
Veterans parade and America's 250th anniversary recognition
Would cost the city about $7,500 if approved, with the rest covered by sponsorships.
Woodhaven Overlay Project Completion
An extra $150,000 from SB 1 gas-tax funds was added to the Woodhaven project budget.
Part-Time Employee Compensation Plan
About $211,000 to implement this fiscal year, roughly 3.8% of payroll, with recurring annual costs near $148,000 for the two units.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Funding
Ratepayers are funding a sewer rate increase running through 2032 to pay for the wastewater plant expansion.
Prime Farmland Conversion and Measure M
The applicant argued crop value countywide grew despite past developments; opponents counter that converted farmland is gone forever.
Fire district response times and growth
The applicant says the project would pay up to $600,000 a year in fire staffing and $1.2 million a year toward police, funding the Morrell Fire Station.
City communications plan
Minimal direct cost; a $200-$250 prize and design digitization may be involved.
License Plate Reader Privacy
State Park Grant Application
If awarded, the grant would fund park improvements with state dollars; the city's match is not stated.
Jacob Myers Park Trail Project Discontinued
$65,228 already spent; remaining $36,272.50 in ARPA funds redirected.
Community Pool Deterioration
Design up to $15,500 from ARPA; construction estimated around $150,000, likely from the general fund.
Renovation of nonconforming 1947 house on Callander Avenue
