Top issues during term (20)
Mead Valley Industrial Core Overlay (GPA250010)
Warehouse development brings infrastructure money and community benefits like the Hillwood-funded 13-acre park, but residents say the costs — road damage, health impacts — fall on them.
Election integrity and Registrar of Voters transparency
A hand recount could cost county election funds; no estimate was given.
November 2026 ballot measures
Keeps the existing half-cent sales tax in place — no new taxes, but about $280 million a year continues flowing to transportation.
public meetings
No direct costs here, but knowing what's happening helps keep local tax dollars in check.
Data center moratorium/ban in unincorporated Riverside County
No county money is at stake yet, but data centers could strain water and power infrastructure if approved.
Zero-emission bus fleet transition
The program has helped secure $3 million in funding for vehicle and infrastructure deployment, training, and engagement.
Solar glare management near March Air Reserve Base runways
Anti-reflective coatings and tracking panels add cost for solar developers, though tracking panels can improve efficiency.
Stephens' Kangaroo Rat Mitigation Fee Increase
Fees for most new development would rise 80% to $900 per gross acre.
Election Integrity and Voter Roll Concerns
None directly stated.
Free fares on Election Day and Veterans Day
Fare revenue waived for two days; funded through the Fare Promotions Program.
County Transparency and Public Records Practices
2026 Amendment to March ARB/IP Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
The plan update itself won't raise anyone's property taxes, staff confirmed, though about ten Moreno Valley parcels face new development limits.
I-15 Smart Freeway pilot performance monitoring
Funding constraints from the state and federal level complicate planned improvements.
Sage area rezoning proposal (GPA 240053)
Gilman Springs Road Bridge Replacement Concerns
Roughly $11 million proposed for the bridge project, which opponents say should go to repairing other roads instead.
Bark Beetle Emergency Renewal — Idyllwild and Pine Cove
No new appropriation; continuation of the emergency declaration.
Highgrove mini-warehouse rezone and plot plan
The applicant is funding two traffic signals (La Sierra/El Sobrante and McAllister/El Sobrante) and a two-mile 24-inch water line.
Election integrity and ballot chain-of-custody disputes
Nearly $500,000 in county funds went to legal defense over ballot inspection; a requested recount could add costs.
Children's recreational activity center in Temescal Canyon area
Sheriff Department Oversight Ad Hoc Committee
Debate also touched on sheriff's budget levels, with claims the department has been defunded and counterclaims that only added funding requests were declined.
