Top issues during term (20)
Community Aquatic Center Partnership
Speakers estimated about $500,000 in annual revenue against roughly $484,000 in operating costs, but total construction cost is unknown; a feasibility study is the ask.
Zoning Code Updates for Data Centers and Crypto Mining
No direct cost to taxpayers — this is regulatory, but it shapes whether power-hungry facilities can operate here.
Planned Development-214 Revision 11-Commercial (PD-214R11-C)
Commercial development will generate property and sales tax revenue for the city.
Wagon Wheel Tennis and Pickleball Center Improvements
Future capital expenditures will be evaluated during upcoming budget retreats if the council decides to pursue expansion.

Total expenditure of $1,007,300 from the Drainage Utility District Fund.

None at this time.
