Citizens' Bill of Rights

No direct cost identified, though limiting which services the city could privatize or abolish could constrain future budget choices.

Charter Section 19 — Advisory Boards

FY 2026-27 millage rate and budget shortfall

A proposed 12%+ millage increase over the current 4.05 rate, with $2.8 million in annual debt payments and a $405,000 deficit even at 4.35 mills.

Flock camera contract termination

Removes $80,000 from the street budget; potential offset of $12,500 in higher county IT charges for cameras.

Nature Walk Subdivision land-use amendment

Estimated impacts include about 290 new residents, 36 students, 676 extra daily car trips, 39,150 gallons/day of water demand and 30,740 gallons/day of sewer demand; one speaker estimated neighboring homes could lose roughly 15% of their value if the golf course disappears.

City Clerk position structure

Mayor Lowery wants to promote an existing employee to avoid adding a whole new salary.

Loss of the only public golf course west of the bridge

Cuts to leagues yield modest net savings since registration fee revenue is lost too.

Compensation section removal (Section 22)

Removing this section gives the city manager more flexibility on pay, tied to whatever the annual budget allows.

City Clerk-Treasurer hiring process

Net cost of about $44,000-$45,000, already built into the FY 2027 budget.

East 37th Street Emergency Road Connection

Nothing is in the current fiscal year budget for design or construction.

Charter Section 15 — Resignations ballot language

Clearer rules could cut down on costly legal opinions and special elections when resignations get disputed.

Animal shelter funding

Roughly $1,000 per day to operate; the shelter budget is $373,314 in FY 2027.

Florida and Ohio Avenue corridor improvements

100% grant-funded — no cost to Lynn Haven taxpayers.

Employee salary and classification study

External salary studies run roughly $35,000, and updated pay grades feed into the fiscal year 2027 budget.

Charter rules for advisory boards

Resignation rules for boards and committees (Section 15)

Charter amendment ballot referendum for November 2026

No direct cost to taxpayers; the pay-cycle change keeps total compensation identical.

Transparency and Public Records Requests

Could surface what was and wasn't reimbursed from past hurricane spending — real taxpayer dollars at stake.

Mill Bayou Boulevard drainage

$197,269, already budgeted.

Sanitation rate increase

Proposed rates would turn the $487,000 FY 2026 deficit into a $463,000 surplus; a $2 second-can hike adds about $62,000 in revenue.
