Top issues during term (11)(Development)
Prodigy Combat Academy conditional use permit
No city cost — it's a use permit for an existing building, though the business will pay city business tax with quarterly reporting.
Citizen Advisory Committee for Downtown Revitalization
Unknown from available records.
Whitmore Commercial Center Development
No direct city cost identified; the developer pays for on-site improvements and environmental review.
First Time Homebuyer Assistance Program
Could be run without hitting the General Fund by using up to 10% administrative funds from HOME reuse money, but in-house operation would require a full-time general fund position.
Hackett Road subdivision delayed by interest rates
No city cost; the extension simply keeps the approved map alive.
6th Cycle Housing Element Implementation (2023-2031)
$40,000 for Gouveia Engineering plus a tabled $49,000 NorthStar agreement, partly grant-offset.
Redevelopment of the former Walmart site at 1670 Mitchell Road
Filling the vacant center should boost sales tax revenue and local jobs, though no dollar figures were given.
Whitmore Ranch subdivision timeline
Copper Trails Specific Plan and Annexation
Residents raised concerns about millions in infrastructure costs the city can't currently afford.
Planning Commission vacancy interview process
Old Kmart property cleanup and redevelopment
