Top issues during term (20)(General)
Reinstatement of County Burn Ban
None directly, but prevents costly emergency firefighting responses.
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.
New county office building at 110 CR 250
Unknown until bids; a roughly 60-by-220-foot building was discussed.
Flood Recovery and Recognition
No direct financial impact, but acknowledges significant community impact and recovery efforts.
infrastructure damage
Expect a heavy hit to the city budget and potential tax implications as repair costs pile up.
comprehensive plan update
Your property taxes and local public spending will directly fund the priorities chosen in this new growth plan.
permitting system and fee updates
Building a home and running a short-term rental in Horseshoe Bay will get significantly more expensive due to higher fees and the new square-footage pricing model.
air quality permit
While local property values could take a hit from dirtier air, the quarry stands to save or make more money by ramping up its operations.
surveillance cameras
Taxpayers are off the hook for ongoing subscription and maintenance fees tied to these private camera networks.
utility rates
Your monthly utility bills will go up by 3% every year through 2031.
teacher hiring policy
Losing these teachers could force the district to spend more on emergency staffing or leave classrooms empty, straining the local school budget.
deer management program
It's funded locally through the city's wildlife control budget, but at least the resulting venison donation helps offset local food costs.
comprehensive planning
Getting involved now helps ensure tax dollars are spent on the infrastructure and improvements you actually want to see in your neighborhood.
boat launch ordinance
You might end up paying daily fees if your household needs more than two passes or if you try to share permits across multiple cars.
golf course fee increases
You'll pay an extra $1 to $2 per visit for twilight rates and private cart usage if you play at Delaware Springs.
lake reopening
Local businesses near the water can finally get back to making money now that tourists and boaters are allowed back on the lake.
code enforcement
Families already struggling with repair costs are now facing additional city fines and potential legal fees.
law enforcement operations
City resources are being drained by the need for extra public relations and crisis management to fix the confusion.
redistricting
While there's no direct hit to your wallet, having a new rep could change how federal grants and infrastructure funding flow into our area.
