Top issues during term (3)(General)
Lodgers' Tax Funding for Community Events, FY 2027
Lodgers' tax revenue collected from hotel stays would be committed to event funding.
City Manager Employment Agreement
Raises the city manager's overall compensation through a doubled retention incentive and a new $7,500 annual allowance.
municipal governance accountability
If unelected outsiders are shaping decisions, public money could be committed to contracts, projects, or rules without the scrutiny voters expect—so taxpayers may bear the risk.
