Top issues during term (13)(Environment)
Citywide trash collection and private hauling concerns
Curbside composting subsidy and incentives
Participation dipped when fees were added; Green Aces may request incentive funding in the next budget.
Proposed EV charging stations at Buddy Attick Park
Possible cost savings from limiting public-facing EV charging ports to four.
Data center regulation
Property tax abatements cost the city nearly $1 million in one year, with only $1.5 million left in the pot.
Bradford Pear Replacement Plan — Phase 4
Unknown; would likely require city maintenance or pressure on State Highway Administration.
Multilingual welcome signs
Digital signs are expensive and not in the current budget; staff will look at pricing and possible grants like the one that funded past wayfinding signage.
City–GHI sustainability collaboration
Solar grant for Green Ridge House and Youth Center
If awarded, the solar grant could help offset utility costs for the building and its residents.
Bills that didn't advance: Bottle Bill, Just Cause Eviction, Voting Rights Act
County recycling revenue — about $500,000 supporting three recycling center jobs — was a concern under the Bottle Bill.
State Legislative Priorities — SB342 Recycling Bill
Community Flood Resiliency Plan
Implementation cost estimates were presented, with potential grant funding identified.
Solar Energy and Utility Costs
Energy costs nearly halved per kilowatt-hour thanks to solar and contract negotiation.
Solar grant shortfall for city buildings
No city funds committed yet — the grant loss delays potential utility savings.
