Top issues during term (5)
city cyberattack
Taxpayers could end up covering emergency IT fixes and lost productivity, though no dollar figure has been disclosed.
city manager resignation
A resignation like this can trigger interim-management costs and a city-manager search, while also risking temporary disruption to city operations.
gas station ban policy
The ban could steer future fuel-retail investment elsewhere and limit new tax revenue from gas stations, while giving existing stations a competitive edge.
water quality issues
Fixing this could mean new city spending on testing and water system repairs, with costs potentially landing on ratepayers.
vacation rentals regulation
Rules could cut rental income for owners and shift home prices or rents, while adding city enforcement costs and possibly changing tourism spending.
