Top issues during term (20)(General)
state investment
It injects a fresh pool of state dollars right into our local economy to fund city projects without putting the squeeze on your wallet.
Golisano Way street memorialization
No direct cost to residents — it's an honorary renaming on the city's Official Map.
gun buyback
While the exact cost wasn't dropped, buying back hundreds of guns usually means trading city funds for fewer weapons on the streets.
sanctuary city status
Keeping the current policies avoids costly legal battles and potential federal funding cuts that could hit local taxpayers hard.
solar farm zoning
Property values and local energy costs could shift as a result of this massive green energy installation.
landfill odor complaint
The landfill operator could face new costs for odor controls or state compliance, while nearby homeowners may worry about property values if the problem drags on.
public space regulations
It could save the city some cash on cleanup and late-night enforcement costs.
public gathering ban
Potential fines for rule-breakers could hit your wallet, but the city might save a bit on late-night emergency response costs.
leaf collection services
The city covers the collection cost, and residents avoid paying for private leaf disposal if they follow the schedule.
streetscape project
While short-term construction might slow down foot traffic, the upgrades aim to boost property values and draw more customers down the road.
lake renaming
Zero direct costs, though it could waste time and taxpayer-funded resources on political arguments.
lake naming resolution
Zero dollars spent on map updates or rebranding, saving taxpayers a totally unnecessary headache.
geographic naming dispute
It's basically a free form of political protest, so it won't cost taxpayers a dime unless the feds decide to get petty with funding.
Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) Grant
State grant funding allocation
sanctuary city lawsuit
Rochester taxpayers dodged a bullet and saved thousands in potential ongoing legal defense fees now that the lawsuit is history.
overnight gathering ban
It could save the city some cash on cleanup and noise complaint overtime, but taxpayers might foot the bill for extra police patrols.
youth curfews
Enforcing a new curfew could strain police budgets with extra overtime and potential legal fees if the city gets sued.
assembly restriction
Permit fees and potential fines for unauthorized gatherings could end up costing local event organizers.
community cleanup
It's totally free to join, and these volunteer efforts ultimately save the city money on maintenance and litter removal.
anti-poverty initiative
Taxpayer funds invested in developing and running the tech portal aren't translating into real help for people in need.
