Top issues during term (4)(Budget)
FY 2026-2027 Budget and Tax Rate
Total budget is approximately $504 million, with general fund expenditures at $197 million, keeping the tax rate at the no-new-revenue level.
school funding litigation
If the district wins, more of your property tax dollars would stay in Midland to improve local school facilities and teacher pay.
animal services funding
This cash injection means more money for programs that help control the number of stray and unwanted pets.
IT cost savings
Taxpayers are getting more value for their money as the city saves nearly a million dollars on IT.
Moved or seconded (28)
Motions Poole 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.
