Top issues during term (6)(Environment)
Outdoor warning sirens and flood gauges (Senate Bill 3)
State-funded at roughly $1.3 million, with the revised ask around $1.6 million and an estimated $10,000/year maintenance cost after the warranty period.
water infrastructure construction
The city is investing a combined $5.73 million into these essential water and sewer upgrades.
wastewater treatment plant
The city found an extra $88,000 in existing backup funds, so your taxes won't go up right now.
water system upgrade
It's a hefty $6.5 million investment, but upgrading the infrastructure now helps prevent much costlier emergency repairs down the road.
water infrastructure expansion
Growth pays for itself here through development fees, so your current water bill shouldn't take a direct hit.
water infrastructure upgrade
Zero cost to local taxpayers, as the entire $7 million project would be funded by the state grant.
