Top issues during term (20)
Unified Development Ordinance Rewrite
Neighbors fear potential structural damage to a shared retaining wall and property value impacts; the developer would pay for required road improvements.
Greenway Expansion and Walkability
$5,338,552 in federal funding matched by $15,194,341 in local contribution, including 2014 and 2022 bond dollars.
Special events street-closure policy and October 2027 exception
Event organizers of larger events will face significantly higher insurance costs, rising from $2 million to $5 million in required coverage.
Town-wide Sustainability Plan
Costs not yet specified — many actions are studies, policies, or partnerships rather than immediate spending.
Ailey Young Park Renovation Grant Application
About $4.6 million in new grant funding for parks projects.
August Financial Position
No electric rate increase planned for next year's budget; ARPA funds must be spent by year-end.
Annexation of 1313 N White Street (Ritchie Family Properties)
Annexing the land would eventually add it to the town's tax base, but no development plan is final yet.
Municipal Service District Redesign
Would have added roughly $250–$600 per year to affected homeowners' property taxes; the denial avoids that cost.
Ligon Mill Road extension
The extension project carries an estimated cost of more than $95 million.
Age-friendly community initiative
The consultant contract ($1,000/month) ended in July and is on pause; any continuation cost depends on the structure the Board chooses.
S-Line project and West Holding Avenue realignment
The town's local match commitment is $6.25 million toward a total mobility hub package estimated at about $36 million.
Flock Surveillance Cameras
Right now, there's no direct hit to your wallet, but buying or maintaining these camera systems usually costs taxpayer dollars down the road.
Scooter and e-bike regulations
Civil penalties will be set in the Town's schedule; impoundment costs are not specified.
Board Vacancy Selection Process
Fire Station 6 Financing Approved
Up to $18 million in borrowed funds, with a public hearing on the financing set for March.
FY 2026-2027 Proposed Budget
Residential growth costs the town 20 cents on the dollar; a fiscal analysis may require hiring a consultant.
Housing affordability and rentals
State Property Tax Legislation Uncertainty
Could force major changes to the town's revenue outlook and the planned 2027 revaluation assumptions.
Mental Health Awareness Month
FY 2026-2027 Annual Operating Budget
No property tax increase proposed; the MSD tax rate goes down, and the town flags possible lean years ahead.
