Top issues during term (10)(Environment)

Section 721 Forest Conservation Code Updates
Will increase developer costs and adjust city fee-in-lieu collections to better reflect actual planting expenses.
water line replacement
It's a federal loan, so it's funded with borrowed money that will eventually need to be repaid, but it stops the constant waste of money on endless patchwork repairs.
Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP)
Aims to leverage state and federal funding for green infrastructure and energy efficiency.
Annual Sustainability Report and Program Progress
Grant funding and staff resources continue to support various sustainability initiatives across the city.
Bee City USA Affiliation and Pollinator Protection
Minimal impact, integrated into existing sustainability department operations and volunteer efforts.
water main repair
Unplanned repair costs will come out of the city's utility maintenance budget, though specific figures aren't available yet.
water pollution
Local taxpayers could end up footing the bill for expensive fines and urgent plant upgrades.
water quality report
You won't have to waste money buying bottled water or expensive filtration systems since what's coming out of the tap is already good to go.
flood mitigation
While taxpayers will benefit from federal funding assistance, local project costs and potential future bond measures could impact city budgets.
