Top issues during term (20)(General)
Data Center Development Concerns
Potential long-term strains on regional utility infrastructure and water supplies.
Personnel Appointment
The impact on the city budget is currently unknown.
surveillance technology policy
Taxpayers are footing the bill for both the camera subscriptions and the repairs caused by the ongoing vandalism.
Museum Capital Improvements
Involves a $10 million state funding allocation for museum and site improvements.
Severe Weather Response
Costs associated with emergency response and infrastructure damage are currently being assessed.
Downtown Revitalization
The project is expected to guide long-term private investment in the downtown core.
Residential Property Compliance
Action on these properties may involve municipal expenditures for abatement or fines levied against owners.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Siting
The city has invested in land acquisition, but specific construction costs for a plant remain unbudgeted.
Office Rezoning at 501-511 Herring Avenue
Minimal fiscal impact.
infrastructure contract
Your tax dollars are going towards making that bridge way brighter, costing over $1.5 million.
criminal charges against city employee
Taxpayer money could be on the line for legal fees and potential settlements, not to mention the cost of fixing any broken systems.
visitor economy strategy
Boosting tourism can pump more cash into Waco's local businesses and potentially ease the tax burden on residents.
property acquisition
It's a big investment, but the city hopes it'll pay off with new businesses and a boosted economy.
office closure
No big financial impact here, just a heads-up to avoid a wasted trip.
Riverwalk project
This means more money potentially flowing into the city from tourism and local businesses, but also means taxpayer dollars are being spent.
data center expansion
This could mean big bucks for the city, but we might end up footing the bill for increased utility costs.
litter enforcement
The city might spend more on cleanup if they don't enforce littering rules, but fines could bring some cash back.
Employee Health Insurance Plan Adjustments & Shortfall
Requires a 12% city contribution increase (~$2.2 million) and a 7% employee premium hike to eliminate a $4 million fund shortfall.
city manager appointment
It's too early to tell if this appointment will impact your wallet, but new leadership often means new priorities.
city manager search
The salary and benefits for the new City Manager will be determined during the final contract negotiations.
