Top issues during term (20)(General)
Highway Construction Speed Limits
The design contract is approximately $221,000.
Emergency Infrastructure Repairs
Costs associated with emergency well repairs will be drawn from utility maintenance funds.
Historic Texas Sign and Plaza Construction Contract
The project represents a $265,000 capital expenditure.
Water and Sewer Rate Adjustments
Modifies utility and solid waste billing rates for residents and businesses.
Capital Improvements and Impact Fee Adjustments
Impact fee revenues total over $24 million across funds, but project costs outpace collections.
Solid Waste Fund Sustainability
The program aims to increase efficiency by concentrating existing city resources in specific areas during scheduled road work.
city management appointment
No direct financial impact, but these boards oversee services and programs that have financial implications.
street maintenance
You'll save money on car repairs and alignment issues caused by rough neighborhood roads.
zoning denial
The developer's plans are now on hold, meaning no new investment or jobs from this specific project.
cemetery rules
Fees will increase to cover rising operational costs, though they remain the lowest in Grayson County.
annexation
Potential increase in tax revenue and development costs for infrastructure.
new city hall
Involves the expenditure of funds for the purchase of real estate.
city services app
Expenditures for computer hardware, potential adjustments to water/wastewater rates, and land acquisition for the fleet center.
business closure
The hotel's closure means lost jobs and less money flowing into that specific business.
fraud conviction
Taxpayer money won't be wasted on more trials, and hopefully, the city can recoup some of what was lost.
business permit denial
The motel owners are losing money because they can't operate, and the city isn't getting tax revenue from them.
city hall renovation
Taxpayer dollars are being spent to make City Hall look and work better.
sewage spill
Businesses are losing money due to the shutdown, and cleanup costs are probably adding up fast.
plant closure
Expect a hit to the local economy as hundreds of jobs disappear.
street name change
It's unclear if this name change will cost taxpayers money, but it could impact businesses on the street.
