Top issues during term (20)
IT Procurement and Cybersecurity Standards
Options ranged from $127,425.15 upfront to $136,180.20 financed over three years, against roughly $41,942 budgeted.
FY27 Property Tax Rate Adoption
Median homestead property taxes will increase from $1,297.80 to $1,360.60 annually.
CAMPO Regional Transportation Plan & Committee Appointments
Long-range capital improvement costs for future transportation projects across the county.
Reinstatement of County Burn Ban
None directly, but prevents costly emergency firefighting responses.
FY27 County Budget and Departmental Appropriations
Impacts all county taxpayers and department funding levels for the upcoming fiscal year.
Emergency Management Leadership
The proclamation itself has no direct financial cost, but staffing shortages may impact future budget allocations.
infrastructure development
Property owners will see an extra $100 added to their annual tax bills to pay off the bond.
Justice of the Peace Clerk Reclassification
Would increase personnel expenditures if reclassifications and salary adjustments are ultimately approved.
Subdivision and Replat Requests
Assumes future ongoing county road maintenance obligations.
Election Security
Potential transition costs if voting methods were altered.
Wirtz Dam Bridge PEC Utility Re-Engineering
Saves the county the cost of contracting utility relocation work; $10 million in federal funds involved.
Interlocal Agreements and Road Improvements
No immediate cost since the road already meets chip-seal specs, but hot mix paving is planned later.
Oncor Transmission Line Project (PUC Docket 59475)
The project could impact property values and potentially increase fire-related insurance or mitigation costs for landowners.
infrastructure opposition
Fighting this in court or through state agencies could end up costing taxpayers a significant amount in legal fees.
Tourism Promotion and Holiday Lighting Contracts
Expended entirely from dedicated Hotel/Motel Tax funds rather than property tax revenues.
New county office building at 110 CR 250
Unknown until bids; a roughly 60-by-220-foot building was discussed.
Sheriff's Office Radio and Equipment Upgrades
$187,000 for the first year, with future annual commitments.
disaster recovery funding
This $4.4 million injection provides a direct financial lifeline to homeowners who have been stuck with damaged, unlivable properties.
council vacancy and special election
Local taxpayers will foot the bill for the special election, pulling funds away from other city services.
New EMS Provider Authorization
None to county operating budget.

Motions Collier personally put forward or seconded. Attribution comes from the minutes; where the minutes name somebody we cannot match to the roster we leave it out rather than guess, so this is a floor, not a total.
