Top issues during term (20)
city council election
The winner will help set city budgets and spending priorities, which can affect taxes, fees, and neighborhood services in Ward 4.
Former GTE (Peninsular) Building downtown
$1,485,436.82 for Phase I, subject to CRA board funding approval.
East Bradenton Park: pool vs. football field
Funding decisions fall to the county; the mayor noted roughly $133 million in city taxes has passed through to the county over five years.
E-bikes and e-scooters on the Riverwalk
Not yet determined; any enforcement or signage effort would draw on police and city resources.
Speed camera appeals
$1,077,900 collected this year, including $420,381 for city public safety initiatives.
Short-term rental enforcement
$100 per day in fines per property if compliance isn't achieved.
Housing Authority parking easement for City Park project site
No direct cost — it's a paperwork cleanup for the park project.
Potential Fourth CRA District
The new CRA would generate its own redevelopment funding rather than drawing on existing city tax dollars.
Jordan Creek East development density and traffic
No direct city cost; the denial preserves existing street conditions but forgoes 40 additional housing units.
Proposed Florida Constitutional Amendment Threatens CRA Funding
CRA revenue would drop wherever homesteaded properties exist, with the Central CRA district suffering the largest hit.
Affordable housing incentives and design standards
Unquantified so far — staff is calculating what the waiver would cost the city before June 10.
Workforce housing near downtown
About $440,000 in fees at stake for the city, with up to 70 percent potentially covered by the CRA.
Additional $2.4 million in ARPA grant funds for sewer lift station projects
The city gains $2.4 million in grant money with no match required — funds that help cover sewer infrastructure costs without raising rates.
Release of 2005 senior-housing deed restrictions
No direct financial impact; the release was consideration for a $10 transaction tied to the broader deal.
Wilcox lot parking agreement dispute
Unresolved — could affect the city's municipal development plans and any required space acquisition.
CRA-housing partnership helps central CRA homeowners
Roughly $50,000 in grant funds spent this fiscal year, with reimbursements recycled back into the housing program.
Code enforcement fine reductions and daily fines
Fines reduced from up to $75,000 to $2,500 for some owners, while others face fines of up to $200 a day until compliance.
Ware's Row building height increase at 500 15th Street West
No direct city cost, but the project skips the usual workforce-housing and LEED contributions that normally buy extra height.
Liquor store near neighborhood roundabout
Unpaved cul-de-sac at 21st Street Court East
Unknown; repaving cost not yet estimated.
