Top issues during term (8)(General)
Epiphany School special-use permit (TK facility)
This massive development could shake up local property values and bring in major tax revenue, though it might also hike infrastructure costs for the city.
Electric Rate Ordinance Amendment
About 2% more on electric bills — roughly 0.9% for the average residential customer — starting April 1.
Rezoning of 1100 Pinetree Drive
The applicant faces month-to-month earnest money deposits while the rezoning path is reworked; staff will process the new request free of charge.
City Strategic Plan
The strategic plan shapes how city funds are allocated across services and capital projects.
Family entertainment venue feasibility
While the study itself is just a first step, building new attractions could mean future investments or tax dollars put toward neighborhood entertainment.
government transparency
While there's no direct price tag yet, poor transparency often leads to wasted taxpayer money on poorly vetted projects.
Executive Director Selection
The position carries a salary cost not detailed in the agenda.
Winter Storm Gianna response praised
Over $1 billion in taxpayer funds cited as wasted statewide in the RebuildNC program.
