Top issues during term (19)(General)
Flock cameras and gunshot-detection microphones
Terminating early could cost roughly $35,000 in removal fees, while the audit is expected to take several weeks.
Flock camera termination and data questions
Misjuns claimed early termination could net the city about $35,000 in refunds, while opponents feared termination fees and legal costs.
Edgewood Avenue rezoning continuance
The owner may need to remove gravel and reseed part of the residential parcel, plus address stormwater requirements at site plan.
Downtown loitering and enforcement
Unknown; potential enforcement and police staffing costs to be outlined in the staff presentation.
Data center zoning ordinance amendment
No direct cost, but the rules could shape future tax revenue since data centers generate facility tax revenue while employing few people.
Right-of-Way Acquisition Process for Transportation Projects
Acquisition costs are built into project budgets, but lien fees (up to $9,000) and delays can add cost and schedule risk to projects like the phase of Route 501 and Route 221.
Rezoning of Ardmore Drive lots for commercial use
This project should bring in a nice bump in local tax revenue and create construction and retail jobs.
Marijuana retail and vape/tobacco zoning authority
Changes to zoning rules could trigger costly legal battles or force clinics to spend money relocating, ultimately hitting taxpayers in the wallet.

Derelict buildings program dashboard
About $483,778 billed in cost recovery and penalties, with roughly $61,244 collected so far.

Polling place relocation — Fourth Ward First Precinct
No immediate taxpayer costs are expected since the city is keeping the current early voting system in place.
