Top issues during term (20)(General)
Data Center Permit Moratorium Extension
Potential future utility and infrastructure investments.
Data Center Zoning and Permit Moratorium Extension
Potential economic impact from large technology investments balanced against municipal infrastructure upgrade costs.
Huntington Bank Field Emergency Repairs

Illegal Dumping Enforcement on Private Property
$17,579 state grant allocation.
Surveillance Technology and Flock Cameras

Municipal Budget and Transparency
Funds all municipal operations and department expenditures for the 2026 fiscal year.
Landfill Solar Power Generation Facilities
Supported by millions in federal grant funding and approximately $9 million in tax credits.
geographic renaming
This lighthearted name change costs taxpayers nothing and won't affect anyone's wallet.
Data Center Prohibition in Form-Based Zoning
Prevents potential large-scale industrial data center developments in residential and mixed-use zones.
small business grants
Local businesses get a direct injection of cash to help cover expenses and grow their operations.
farmers market launch
It injects life into downtown commerce and supports local regional farmers.
civic rebranding
Tourism and novelty merchandise might get a quick bump, but overall it probably won't cost or make the city much.
lake renaming
Zero dollars spent, meaning your tax bill won't budge for this joke.
Board of Building Standards Fee Adjustments
Increases revenue for board operations and covers administrative costs for expedited hearings.
law enforcement operation
It costs taxpayers to deploy state troopers for local sweeps, but getting illegal guns off the street could save millions in emergency and legal costs down the line.
liquor license renewal
Nearby property values could get a slight boost if the troubled spot cleans up its act or closes, while the business itself risks losing its most profitable revenue stream.
consent decree termination
Ending federal oversight could save money on monitoring fees, but could also spark new expenses if lawsuits pop up down the road.
technology leadership
Initial upgrade costs could pay off long-term by cutting down on bureaucratic waste and making city services run more efficiently.
