Top issues during term (20)
Historic district exterior repairs and grant funding
Only $3,222.50 remains of the $25,000 2026 grant fund; awards were cut to roughly a third of guideline amounts.
Zoning Code Rewrite
No direct cost to taxpayers, but the rules shape future development across the city.
2027-2028 Municipal Construction Consultant Contracts
About $1.03 million in combined contract awards plus new drop-off center fees.
AI Acceptable Use Policy
Historic Springs maintenance and proposed "Friends of the Springs"
Repeated cleanouts cost the parks department staff time every year; a permanent fix could require a city budget allocation.
Historic district home improvement grants
$25,000 in grant funds allocated for 2026, with $20,500 currently available.
Property damage claims — Montney denied, Hardy paid
$2,033.87 paid out on the Hardy claim; no payout on Montney's.
New Operations Center construction costs
The UPS adds $38,649.75, covered by the project's $1 million contingency; the WIFA borrowing continues at about $863,000 per month.
Street light removal on Windsor Place
Potential minor savings from removing an unneeded light.
Water utility wells and Prairie Avenue main
A unit-price bid with 60% extra gravel budgeted protects against cost overruns on well 5.
District 11 alder vacancy
$11.3M settlement of excessive-assessment lawsuit
Settlement terms were discussed in closed session and are not disclosed in the public record.
STOR-IT Right rezone at Dolphin Dr and Coral Dr
The developer, not the city, bears project costs, though required street improvements add construction scope.

Proceeds from the sale of the surplus property go to the city.
2026 banking depositories for utility funds
Chapter 28 historic preservation ordinance update
Spring 2026 street tree planting assessment
$397 per requested tree charged to residents; the forestry budget funds replacements.
Referral: new state towing and reckless-driving authority
Impound fees go to the vehicle owner; the failed waiver amendment would have shifted costs to the city, which has no budget for it.
130 Delafield Street historic conservation easement
Razing of 137/139 E. Park Ave.
City funds committed to demolition, amount not stated in the record.
