Top issues during term (4)(General)
City Manager's Salary
Determines the compensation of the city's top administrator from the city budget.
charter dissolution
Dissolving the charter could shift service costs and tax responsibilities to the county, leaving residents to sort out who pays for what—and whether costs go up or down.
municipal charter revocation
Taxpayers could see local administrative costs disappear, but county residents may absorb the cost of providing services to the former town.
wrongful death lawsuit
If the city settles or loses, the payout would likely come from public funds, so taxpayers could be on the hook.
