Top issues during term (11)(Public Safety)
Adoption of 2024 International Codes and 2026 National Electrical Code

Estimated $11,347–$18,000 for the gates, plus concrete work still being quoted.
Police Staffing and Retention
The city pays full academy, equipment, and uniform costs with a two-year post-probation service agreement, and a compensation market study is planned this year.
Portable Narcotics Analyzer Grant (Resolution 646-26)
No cost to the city — the grant requires no matching funds.
Substandard property order — 7056 Dover Lane (Case 10175)
Fire department staffing losses
Police Body Armor Grant Awards
No local cost — the grant is 100% funded.
Railroad quiet zone
Quiet-zone safety upgrades can be costly; no figure discussed.
Code enforcement funding
More funding requested for abatement and zero-tolerance enforcement; amount unspecified.
Northeast Fire Department Association Dues and Firefighter Mental Health
Proposed FY26 dues total about $38,184 — roughly $4.40 per resident per year — up from prior years due to the mental health program.
fire chief appointment
The pick itself isn’t a big budget item, but the chief will influence fire department spending and staffing priorities.
