Top issues during term (11)(General)
Proposition 1 City Position
No direct city cost; the bond would cost state taxpayers an estimated $833 per taxpayer per year.
Illegal Dumping and Bertolotti Contract
Unknown; potential cost recovery if the hauler isn't meeting contract terms.
Unauthorized Camping in Public Areas Ordinance
Enforcement costs fall on police staffing; no direct new spending was cited.
Temporary moratorium on new gas stations and car washes
Staff said preparing a legally defensible moratorium ordinance would require significant staff time and legal research the council declined to fund.
SR 99/Mitchell Road Interchange Design Funding
Grant-funded; no general fund money, but a ~$1.2 million design funding gap remains.
Interim City Manager Appointment
The $16,500 monthly contract is covered within the existing city manager budget.
90-Day Hold on Administrative Personnel Changes
Executive onboarding and potential contract negotiations will draw from municipal funds during an economically tight pandemic period.
Proposition 64 Grant Funds
About $998,000 over five years with no general fund impact.
property demolition
While cleanup costs money now, clearing this eyesore could eventually boost nearby property values.
building acquisition
Buying and fixing up an old courthouse isn't going to be cheap, and taxpayers will likely foot the bill for the upgrades.
community clean-up
It saves residents money on disposal fees and helps the city avoid costly illegal dumping cleanups.
