Top issues during term (6)
municipal elections
The change could shift campaign spending toward individual districts and may lower the cost of running, but the source doesn’t give a dollar figure.
entertainment zone approval
More foot traffic downtown could mean more sales for bars, restaurants, and shops—and more sales tax for the city.
waterfront revitalization
Taxpayers and local businesses could see new costs or revenue depending on the deal, but the source doesn’t spell out the money yet.
park facility closure
The city may save on upkeep and staffing, but it could also forgo any court fees or player spending—exact dollars aren’t in the source.
waterfront development plan
Expect big public and private spending up front, with potential hotel and ferry revenue later—but taxpayers could be on the hook if projections miss.
pickleball court closure
The city could lose modest court fees and program revenue, while avoiding potential costs for noise mitigation.
