Top issues during term (20)(General)
DEIB Commission Future
Funded through existing strategic implementation budget allocations totaling $5,750 for consultant support and training.
Infrastructure Maintenance and Road Repairs
Adds $534,000 to the project cost, funded through city contributions with no impact on fund balance.
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.
Working Group Support
The budget allocates funds to support these groups, aiming for an even split of resources.
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.
zoning change
The city avoids immediate infrastructure costs, but also misses out on the potential tax revenue the project promised.
Ad Hoc Committee Potential Violations
If the city has to launch a formal ethics investigation or hold a special election, taxpayers will likely be footing the bill.
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.
veterans services
This move saves veterans time and gas money by cutting out the commute to distant service centers.
ETJ litigation
Legal fees will likely eat into the city budget, but winning could mean more tax revenue from future developments.
city leadership
The new manager will control the city's budget and spending priorities, which directly affects how your tax dollars are used.
legal judgment
Taxpayers are off the hook for an $8 million payout that would have definitely hit our wallets.
city management appointment
His decisions on city contracts and project management will directly influence how our tax dollars are spent.
legal liability
This payout is a huge blow to the city's reserves and will likely force officials to cut spending elsewhere or raise taxes to balance the books.
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.
city leadership change
Expect some short-term costs for the search process and potential severance payouts, which could impact the city's operating budget.
utility maintenance
You might lose a few bucks if you have to buy ice or eat out because your fridge is down.
legal dispute
The city can now stop burning cash on legal fees and start looking for ways to turn that dead space into a revenue-generating asset.

Motions Snyder 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.
