Top issues during term (20)
school closures
While cutting over 100 jobs will save the district some serious cash, it’s going to cost neighborhoods and local businesses in lost foot traffic and property stability.
environmental contamination
Property values and development plans in the nine affected towns could take a hit if contamination is found.
Municipal Ballot Access Reform
While no direct price tag was attached, keeping the current election setup avoids the administrative costs of implementing new voting procedures.
Winter Preparedness and Public Works Readiness
Impacts winter operations budgets and overtime expenditures for snow removal.
City Financial Cashflow and Budget Monitoring
$20 million in borrowing for needed projects; officials said interest rates differ little between the two routes.
infrastructure funding
Leaving $40 million untouched means taxpayers are missing out on major infrastructure upgrades while construction costs continue to rise.
school closure
While the district hopes to save cash by consolidating, families might get hit with higher transit costs or logistical headaches.
Demolition Requests for Historic and Residential Properties
The developer projects an $803,000 capital loss if the building is rehabilitated rather than demolished and rebuilt.
tribal land development dispute
Local businesses near the new gas station could see a shake-up in their customer base and daily sales.
tax exemption
Eligible veterans will see immediate relief on their property tax bills, though the city will absorb a slight shift in tax revenue.
Charter revision ballot measures
Potential restructuring of city departments, procurement, and parking operations could affect how city money is managed.
political succession
Expect some taxpayer dollars to go toward running a special election to fill the empty council seat.
Vacant Property Demolition Financial Responsibility
Demolition costs up front; the city pursues liens and billing to recover them.
Community Notification and Participation in Neighborhood Infrastructure Projects
Grant-funded transportation projects involve millions in state and federal allocations.
Local Landmark Designation for Broadway Auditorium
Property owners of designated landmarks may become eligible for specific historic preservation tax credits.
303 Lafayette Ave. Multi-Family Residential Development
A multi-million dollar private investment providing 27 housing units and increased tax revenue.
school district oversight
Right now, there's no direct hit to your wallet, but a poorly run district could eventually mean wasted tax dollars and a need for state financial bailouts.
state funding
It injects $25 million straight into city coffers, keeping our local budget balanced without raising your taxes.
2026-2027 Winter Snow Plan Filed
About $2 million is budgeted for contractual snow services, with capacity to procure over 30,000 tons of salt and 10 new plow trucks on order.
Bulk Trash Collection Schedule
Saves approximately $1 million annually, but risks shifting cleanup costs to illegal dumping remediation.
