Top issues during term (20)
Buddhist temple on environmentally sensitive Sycamore Lane site
Landscaping companies will have to shell out cash to upgrade their gear to electric models, which might mean slightly higher lawn care bills for residents.
Whitmore Estates subdivision of former Windward School property
No direct city cost identified; the developer would dedicate the new road and utilities to the city if accepted.
Ebersol Rink capital improvements and sponsorship legislation
The program brings outside funding to support the rink.
Downtown and commercial signage approvals
City Hall roof, facade, and HVAC modernization
$750,000 total estimate; $320,000 requested for the design phase.

Adora Row mixed-use project extension

Brookfield Commons Phase 3 extension
About $8 million in County infrastructure funding flows to the city for the project.
Residential street parking and traffic safety requests
Minimal — a sign change extending an existing restriction.
Fire Station 2 feasibility study cost
The study costs $400,000, drawn from the city's fund balance — the real price tag comes when a build option is picked.

Library Parking Structure Rehabilitation funding increase
An additional $3.5 million requested now, with millions more expected for Phase 2 and other garages.

Taxicab ordinance overhaul
Higher taxi fares for riders; lower fees for medallion owners.
275 Main Street redevelopment

About $115,000 in refunds from the general fund.
