Data Center Zoning
Potential future commercial investment impacts balanced against infrastructure and utility demands.

Estimated $15 million in capital projects with potential stormwater fee adjustments for residents.

While there isn't a direct price tag yet, a new leadership style could shift how the city spends its budget on things like schools and community programs.
Mosquito Control and Public Health
Operational costs adjusted for expanded mileage and potential in-house equipment acquisition.
property maintenance compliance
