Top issues during term (20)
FY 2025-26 budget amendment
Appropriations increase by $18,475,812, funded by reserves, grants, and unanticipated revenue — no new tax.
Public Art Resolution revisions
Up to roughly $100,000 in city capital funds could flow to public art, depending on what the commission recommends.
Residential curbside recycling survey
A lower price was a key factor — the survey explored a projected $5.79 monthly savings scenario.
Ongoing park construction projects
Every project presented has identified funding attached, per staff.
Vacant City Council seat
There’s no big immediate cost to taxpayers, though the appointees will help decide how city money gets spent.
Donation subcommittee for public art
No direct cost identified yet; possible artwork sales raise questions about payment handling.
Sign and facade changes in the Downtown Historic District
No direct city cost; all work is privately funded and subject to standard permits.
August 1 incident memorial and community healing
NOVA sessions are free to the community, with costs covered by Chobani's partnership.
Chobani Expansion and RAA 4-3 Plan Amendment
About $75 million in infrastructure, backed by Chobani's tax revenue and a state/federal contribution, with the city also chipping in on sewer work.
Title 10 zoning code corrections
Could affect what infill developers can build on narrow alley lots and shift some paving and enforcement costs.
Extension of Revenue Allocation Area #4-3 to support Chobani expansion
About $59.8 million in new TIF-supported infrastructure costs, plus existing obligations, funded by tax increment diverted from other taxing districts through 2046.
Flock Surveillance Cameras
The city is spending $128,500 across three Flock contracts this year; an $88,400 expansion request was pulled and likely redirected to contingency.
Downtown historic district design review
The cost falls on the two property owners pursuing the signs; no city spending is involved.
Fall historic walking tours
Minor printing costs for handouts; no major expense identified.
New park at Elizabeth and Hankins Roads
$486,013 in re-authorized park impact fees, plus a 7% CM/GC fee and $8,000 in design costs paid to Suburban Construction.
Downtown Redevelopment RFPs — 2nd and Hansen and Old Towne South
Not yet determined — the RFPs will define what developers are asked to build and what incentives the agency may offer.
America 250 Bisbee photo display
Roughly $150 in printing and mounting costs, expected to come from an existing department budget.
Park improvement priorities: Sunrise, Harry Barry, and Sunway/First Federal
Projects would be pursued as funding becomes available through the upcoming budget cycle.
Old Clinic building demolition and remediation
Negotiated CM/GC fees and general conditions costs, with a guaranteed maximum price to follow.
