Top issues during term (10)(General)
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
ADUs are estimated to cost homeowners roughly $150,000 at the low end to build; no direct city cost.
Sidewalk Repair
Funded now by ARPA dollars; a permanent program would need 2027 budget money.
Landmark Commission ordinance revision
None stated directly, though designations could affect property owners' costs and property values citywide.
Flock safety cameras privacy concerns
The city is two years into a five-year Flock contract; one speaker suggested redirecting roughly $50,000 a year toward legal counsel for immigrants.
Flock license plate reader contract
The contract costs the city about $50,000 a year — $250,000 over the five-year term — money several speakers argued should fund a legal defense fund instead.
surveillance cameras
It won't cost you extra, but it keeps the city from wasting money and trust on privacy lawsuits down the road.
tree advisory board
It won't cost much upfront, but better tree management could save the city money on infrastructure repairs down the road.
Citywide food scrap composting expansion
About $80,000 expected spend this year against a $100,000 budget.
property assessment
You'll see a direct increase in your annual property tax bill due to the higher tree service assessment.
public health closure
It's mostly just a minor inconvenience, though shifting staff and programs indoors might cost the city a little extra in logistics.
