Top issues during term (20)
Automated license plate readers in county rights-of-way
No direct cost to taxpayers to revoke, but removing and reinstalling cameras would carry future costs; the cameras were funded through subscriptions and grants.
Wellhead protection rules update
Delays to well siting can raise water supply costs as the county grows.
Agricultural enclave certifications and northwest growth
Certification is not development approval, but could open hundreds of acres to future residential density.
Industrial growth at 3960 Inman Road
The applicant estimates about 250 jobs and over half a million dollars in annual tax revenue, but residents worry about road costs and who pays for widening and sidewalks.
Fruit Cove Baptist commercial rezoning and neighborhood concerns
FY 2027 budget hearings ahead
Combined new requests approach $1.2 million-plus over current funding, subject to later reductions.
FY 2027 millage rates and property taxes
Property owners will pay an estimated $426 million in county taxes; the 2.14% above rollback means about $12 million more from existing homeowners than a full rollback would.
Tree ordinance mitigation interpretation
Mitigation can cost $100 per inch via the county tree bank, so credit rules affect what builders pay to remove big trees.
Data center moratorium
No direct cost; the pause protects water and power resources from heavy data-center demand.
Charles Street garage variance denied again
Water Supply and Infrastructure Capacity
New bond debt will add future debt service, cushioned by strong coverage ratios and an AA1 rating that lowers interest costs.
Swimming pool lot-coverage allowance for small lots
Each pool represents a six-figure private improvement; the 102 Quadrille Way applicant cited a potential six-figure loss in home value without pool eligibility.
Wrecker and Towing Ordinance 2015-50 rates
Higher permitted towing fees could raise out-of-pocket costs for drivers whose vehicles are towed.
School Capacity and Growth (Senate Bill 686 Impacts)
New schools cost around $100 million each, with two-thirds typically financed by borrowing that falls on taxpayers.
Bartram Park DRI and Bartram Grove growth on Race Track Road
School concurrency handled through a proportionate-share mitigation agreement for high school students.
Animal shelter euthanasia practices
Unknown; a TNVR program and dashboard would require new county spending.
Grand Oaks PUD modification
$20 million in transportation mitigation coming to the county, plus a donated park site.
Fight against Florida Senate Bill 686
Extra overtime and staff time absorbing state-mandated changes.
FY28 Arts, Culture & Heritage grant scoring criteria
The property last sold for $2.975 million in 2025, but no county funds will be pursued after the low score.
Resiliency scoring for land acquisition
No direct cost now, but better-aligned scoring could strengthen grant applications.
