Top issues during term (5)(General)
animal services survey
Right now, it's just your opinion needed, so it won't cost you a dime, though future changes might use local tax dollars.
advisory board vacancies
Doesn't cost you a dime, but getting involved could help shape how local tax dollars are spent on big community projects.
administrative appointment
This internal promotion likely involves a standard salary adjustment that fits within the existing municipal administrative budget.
surveillance cameras
Taxpayers are funding these new surveillance tech rollouts without a clear price tag yet on ongoing maintenance.
data center permit
It's bringing fresh tech investment to town, which could mean a nice boost for the local economy and tax base.
