Top issues during term (20)
Property Tax Rate
Sets the maximum tax rate for county property owners for fiscal year 2027.
local election
Your vote determines how your tax dollars are allocated for local infrastructure and county services.
Road Infrastructure and Safety
County assumes maintenance of newly accepted Sterling Lakes roads; abandonment reduces maintenance obligations elsewhere.
Hurricane Preparedness and Public Safety
The business owner reports significant loss of income due to the closure.
zoning and development
Developers save time and money by skipping old street requirements, while the city brings in a brand new commercial tax generator.
Wildfire Risk and Burn Ban
Helps mitigate potential emergency firefighting costs and property damage.
New Meeting Management Software Implementation
Costs associated with software licensing were handled in previous budget cycles.
city council conduct
While there's no direct price tag yet, potential ethics investigations or legal fallout could end up costing taxpayers money.
Data Center Development
Data centers may impact local property tax appraisals and water utility costs.
County Infrastructure & Capital Projects
Funded through allocated county capital improvement and departmental budgets.
Sheriff's Office Staffing and Jail Capacity
Projected savings of $27,847 in salary and benefits for the remainder of fiscal 2027.
Data Center Tax Abatements
The tax abatement reduces immediate property tax revenue from the project in exchange for long-term economic growth.
election information
While voting itself is free, the measures on the ballot could influence local tax rates and how your city budget is spent.
animal shelter funding
The project relies entirely on private donations, meaning it won't hit your tax bill but needs community buy-in to actually happen.
police chief removal
Right now, there's no word on extra costs, but leadership shakeups can sometimes trigger unexpected legal or severance expenses.
Library Infrastructure and Content
Funded through approved library fiscal year budgets.
public health / pest control
The city is dipping into its emergency budget to cover the extra fuel and chemical costs for these additional spraying runs.
municipal facilities
The city funded a $5 million capital improvement project to build this new facility.
San Bernard River Dredging
Increased construction and engineering costs for developers.
Code Enforcement and Property Compliance
The county will incur legal costs associated with the prosecution of these suits.
