Top issues during term (20)
FY 2026-2027 EDC budget
Projected ending fund balance of about $4.93 million if all requests are funded.
Bond 2027 potential projects
Anything above $50 million in the bond package would require a property tax rate increase.
Economic development incentives for BH Invesco, LLC
Unknown until any incentive offer is made public.
Neighborhood streets package
A $14 million proposition could be sized up or down; the worst-rated streets get fixed first.
Parks Master Plan progress
Funded by the Municipal Development District in the 2026-27 budget; consultant selection is underway.
Pleasant Valley Road extension
Roughly $19 million, not including a future traffic signal at Harmony Hill.
Blackburn/Ingram Road four-lane vs. two-lane
$20 million for a rebuild-only option versus about $38 million for a full widening — a big chunk of a $55.5 million budget.
Fire Station 1, Fire Station 2, and public safety building upgrades
Preliminary estimates range from about $6.1 million to $11.8 million depending on scope and escalation.
Bond 2027 planning
Potential general obligation debt structured to avoid a tax rate increase.
Cost recovery and master fee schedule changes
Could eventually mean higher fees for some recreation programs and higher rates for non-residents, offsetting rising costs as tax base growth slows.
Neighborhood Services ordinance revisions
Pool and multifamily inspections add program costs, though food and pool inspections are already third-party contracted.
Industrial Drive reconstruction design
Up to $407,064 for the water line improvements.
Safe Haven baby box proposal
None to taxpayers — the roughly $30,000 box would be fully covered by $115,000 in private donations.
Sachse Farmers Market and 5th Street District activation
The plan guides budget decisions through 2032; Fifth Street has already cost over $10 million.
Rising employee health insurance costs
Roughly $603,000 more from the city for medical coverage alone next year.
West Creek Lane and Woodbridge Parkway reconstruction
Full rebuild is estimated at $12.2 million; a targeted panel-replacement approach could cost $3-5 million.
Rear yard setback variance at 3316 Ellington Drive
The applicant said redesigning to meet the setback would add roughly $15,000 to $20,000 in costs.
2026 Collin County Tax Roll acceptance
Formal acceptance of the tax roll underpinning the city's property tax revenue.
Williford Road construction timeline
$6,109,413.00 in construction spending for the Williford Road project.
Michael J. Felix Community Center programs
