Top issues during term (20)
Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map update
Unknown directly, but a voided plan would force the city to restart the entire year-long process, and consultant and staff time is already committed.
Marina Long-Term Financing and FEMA Grant Use
Award amount not stated on the record; a failed rebid was debated as potentially costing or saving roughly $800,000.
Recycling Centers in Light Industrial Zones
Adds a review step and potential study costs for light industrial developers.
Infrastructure Surtax Spending Review (July–September 2026)
The review covers citywide surtax spending for the April–June 2026 quarter; the exact dollar total wasn't stated in the minutes.
Road vacations: Fairy Avenue and Grace Avenue
No development plan or buyer exists yet, so the eventual commercial project's cost and tax value are unknown.
ASAP Advisory Board structure
ASAP currently returns funds to the city; no new funding committed.
Affordable Housing and Homeownership Challenges
Housing program dollars are roughly 80% below pre-Hurricane Michael levels, with the city now working from normal annual SHIP and CDBG allocations.
ADU utility meter exemption (Ordinance 3320)
Removes the cost of a separate meter connection for ADU builders.
Millage rate held steady — but revenue still rises
No rate hike, but property value growth pushes the aggregate rate up 2.57% over rolled-back levels.
One-year moratorium on large-scale data centers
No direct cost, but large data centers could strain city water and electric capacity if approved without new rules.
Zero-based budgeting study
Hiring a consultant would cost money upfront, but the aim is finding ongoing savings by forcing every expense to be justified.
Municipal election alignment with state and federal cycles
Sharing election costs with county/state races saves the city money.
Land Disposition Policy and Potential Land Bank
Sale proceeds would flow back into the housing department; the city holds an unsolicited full-price offer on 805 Northeast Avenue.
Port neighborhood compatibility at Hannah Avenue
No direct cost to the city; the agreement requires the port to maintain improvements and indemnify the city.
Ditch maintenance and the Kaiser S8 excavator
Could save the city flood-mitigation costs, though enforcement and any city abatement work carry costs; taxpayers shouldn't have to mow the railroad's grass.
Admin cost center accounting
No new cost — a reclassification for visibility; environmental services proposed at $12 million versus the $12.5 million rate study figure.
Tax increment rebate for KBP Properties office conversion
Up to $149,472.17 in rebated tax increment over 15 years, offset by new commercial value on a deteriorated property.
Stormwater Master Plan grant
A stormwater utility could fund maintenance of watershed parks instead of leaving those costs on the general fund.
Removal of CRA funding for FLOCK cameras
Terminating now could cost up to $337,000, possibly about $168,500 after the right-of-way removals.
Residential Accessory Structure Flexibility
The applicant pays the variance application fee; no other monetary penalty exists for building first and asking later.
