Top issues during term (6)(Budget)
0.625% public safety sales tax
The tax would be a key funding source for a $20-25M permanent police headquarters and fire stations, but its passage is uncertain.
Shooting Sports Complex operating losses
About $412,000 a year in losses, adding up to $1.415 million over three years, borne by the city.
sales tax revenue
More sales tax cash means the city has extra room in its budget for services and projects.
airport infrastructure funding
The city is putting millions in funding toward airport upgrades, betting better infrastructure will pay off in economic activity.
public safety sales tax petition
If approved, you'd pay slightly more sales tax on purchases, with the revenue earmarked for police and fire.
city official financial investigation
Expect possible city costs for legal, administrative, and trustee duties—though the dollar amount isn’t clear yet.
