Top issues during term (11)(Taxes Budget)
Mobility fee discount elimination
Developers would pay the full fee after the 90-day period — more money for road projects like the LaSalle and Massachusetts Avenue extensions.
Property tax reform ballot measure and first balanced budget in 31 years
Potential loss of roughly 10% of city revenue if homestead exemption repeal passes in November.
2026 General Election Certification and Council Seating
None — the agenda packet lists no cost associated with this item.
Golf course lease negotiation
Current rent is about $5,000/month; the operator's offer would cut city revenue to $5,000/year over 70 years.
Kings Crest and Cane Break special assessments
Affected homeowners will pay annual assessments of roughly $91 per home in Cane Break, billed on the tax roll.
Council travel and vehicle allowances
Roughly $18,500-$23,500 per member annually across allowances and travel, taxable where applicable.
Women's Club facility use fees
League costs rise by about $30,000 in year one instead of the $59,000+ five-year proposal; the city keeps paying most of the roughly $392,000 field maintenance bill.
$80 million bond spending deadline
Penalties for unspent bond proceeds; dropping Hopkins Park could push $3.65M of debt service onto the 1% surcharge.
Council community support (sponsorship) policy
Roughly $75,000 of the existing $100,000 community grant budget would be repurposed under the new policy.
City health insurance overhaul
Avoids a ~$1.2 million annual increase and could save switching employees up to ~$3,000/year in payroll contributions.
FY2025/26 Budget Amendment and Grant Funding
About $6.9 million added to the budget, largely grant-funded rather than from local taxes.
