Top issues during term (20)
Chuck Memorial Dog Park safety hazards
Unaddressed, the safety hazards could expose the town to liability far exceeding routine maintenance costs.
Youth banner installation and Water is Life mural
Budgeted at $8,000 this fiscal year after being rolled forward from last year.
Windsor Creek School Site Negotiations End
Town purchase could cost $4.9 million, with full park build-out of $10–23 million plus $175,000–$200,000 a year in maintenance — a tough ask amid budget discussions.
Flock automatic license plate reader concerns
$75,000 a year, up to $225,000 over three years, already built into the adopted general fund budget.
School Resource Officer funding agreement
Roughly $175,000 in savings to the town's general fund over the two-year contract.
Mediterranean oak borer, Esposti heritage oak, and fire blight
Treatment and removal of mature oaks is costly for the town and expensive for homeowners, with no financial assistance program available for private tree removal.
Downtown Entertainment Zone
Minimal so far; a pilot would cost a few thousand dollars for signage and cups, likely shared with businesses.
Kaiser Park community center and resilience hub
The planning grant requires no town match; no general fund money has gone into Kaiser Park planning so far.
Windsor Unified School District Measure J Bond
Measure J would extend an existing school bond with figures between $92 million and $96 million cited by the speaker.
Development Impact Fee Pilot Program
About $2.4 million in impact fee revenue discounted so far across three projects.
Mobile home park closure moratorium extension
The extension itself costs the town nothing, but litigation with Harmony Communities is ongoing and unresolved.
Sonoma County Transit Route Changes (MASCOTS Phase II)
Changes aim to cut duplicated service costs; Route 66 service improvements could be funded by the town's recent grant award.
1% sales tax measure on November ballot
About $5.5 million a year in new revenue at a 1% rate; shoppers would pay 10.25% total sales tax in Windsor.
Senior access to CRV recycling redemption
Seniors who depended on can redemption income are losing money to app fees and hassle; no direct cost to the town.
Windsor Senior Center multimedia art show
The class costs participants an $8 drop-in fee; the show itself is free.
Playground improvements at Esposti Park and the Town Green
Airport Village water supply adequacy
No direct town cost — the assessment was done by town staff and the project itself is county-approved.
Measure I-funded preschool and infant-toddler programs
Built with $3.2 million in state grant funds, developer fees, about $700,000 in leftover bond funds and a $5 million Lytton Band donation.
Senior center visibility on town Facebook page
A dedicated page would cost nothing extra; it's a town policy question, not a funding one.
Commission seat expirations and recruitment
