Top issues during term (5)(General)

Multi-million dollar engineering and construction contracts largely supported by state and federal funding.
Procurement and Contracting Protocol Optimization
Fewer willing contractors means higher prices for residents' roofing, concrete, and repair work.
Closure of Roots Service Facility
Reduces city expenditures on the leased location.
Home Rule Charter Referendums for May Primary
No direct cost, but smoother budget passage protects city services and spending continuity.
tenant relocation and landlord regulation
Landlords who neglect their properties will foot the bill for tenant relocations, while renters get financial assistance to find a safe place to live.
