Top issues during term (9)(General)
Affordable housing and infill development across six districts
The code alone doesn't build affordable housing — members say extra incentives, trust fund money, and new state tools are needed.
Payment register transparency
No direct fiscal cost; it concerns disclosure of how existing public money is spent.
Fan Neighborhood Demolition-Restriction Overlay (UDC 2026-15)
Could affect demolition and redevelopment costs for Fan property owners.
Rooftop solar program on city buildings
The city forgoes whatever energy savings and renewable credit revenue the solar deals would have produced.
surveillance technology contract
Canceling the contract saves taxpayer dollars previously earmarked for ongoing surveillance technology subscriptions and maintenance.
utility billing system
Residents risk paying incorrect amounts or facing sudden cash-flow crunches due to unpredictable billing errors.
daycare zoning approval
Local families working non-traditional shifts could save money and reduce lost wages by finally having access to affordable, overnight childcare.
surveillance technology
Buying and setting up a new license plate reader system will cost taxpayer money, though a final price tag isn't set yet.
public meeting agenda
It could shift how the city hands out contracts and spends money, aiming to clean up vendor payments.
