Top issues during term (20)

Involves a total city budget of $9.2 billion, including a $2.026 billion general fund operating budget.
Electric Bicycle Safety Regulations
Minimal administrative cost for developing standardized educational signs.

Fencing requirements could trigger state-level regulatory cost analyses exceeding $200,000, and one HOA spent over $10,000 fixing pond compliance issues.

Property values and development costs shift as rural and low-density land is rezoned.
