Top issues during term (13)(General)
CR 199 Infrastructure Funding
The board is managing a $500,000 budget for the Pecan Street design and overseeing multi-million dollar road projects.
Expansion of Public Input Opportunities
No direct fiscal impact anticipated at this stage.
zoning change
The city avoids immediate infrastructure costs, but also misses out on the potential tax revenue the project promised.
urban growth
You can expect your tax dollars to be funneled into major construction projects and expanded city services to keep pace with the population surge.
industrial zoning
While the project promises a boost to the city's tax base, locals fear it could drive down property values and strain existing infrastructure.
veterans services
This move saves veterans time and gas money by cutting out the commute to distant service centers.
legal judgment
Taxpayers are off the hook for an $8 million payout that would have definitely hit our wallets.
legal settlement
It saves taxpayers money by cutting off expensive, ongoing legal bills.
population growth
You can expect your tax dollars to be funneled into massive infrastructure projects and expanded city services to keep pace with the influx of new residents.
interlocal agreement termination
You might see shifts in your local taxes or service fees as the city and school district move to manage their own budgets independently.
utility maintenance
You might lose a few bucks if you have to buy ice or eat out because your fridge is down.
digital government services
It should save the city money in the long run by cutting down on administrative overhead and staff time spent on routine phone calls.
infrastructure utility agreement
This deal could bring in significant new revenue, but it might also require expensive upgrades to our current pipes and treatment facilities.

Motions Morris personally put forward or seconded. Attribution comes from the minutes; where the minutes name somebody we cannot match to the roster we leave it out rather than guess, so this is a floor, not a total.
