Top issues during term (13)(Taxes Budget)
2026-28 Council Priorities
Priorities shape how the city budgets staff time and money over the next two years.
City Manager Evaluation
The outcome could influence the city manager's compensation and contract terms.
League of Oregon Cities legislative priorities
Priorities include infrastructure funding that could bring state money for water and wastewater systems.
Water System Development Charges Rate Update
Could change what residents pay for water service and connection fees.
Comcast Franchise Renewal
Franchise fees (5% of Comcast gross revenues) continue, plus higher capital support of 1.75% of gross revenues.
Community advisory group quorum failures
No dollar figure yet, but canceled meetings waste staff preparation time and delay advisory input on city decisions.
Framing Our Future community engagement program
Cost of running the engagement program was flagged by a councilor as an open question.
Repeal of SDC Installment Payment Options
Requiring lump-sum SDC payment could raise upfront costs for builders, which may filter into housing prices.
Annual fee and charge increases
Residents pay about 5% more on most utility fees starting July 1; the city takes an estimated $19,000 revenue hit from lower development charges.
General Fund & Parks Utility Service Fee
A new fee on utility bills would directly hit household budgets if the council moves it forward.
Financial strategic planning as top council priority
Could eventually involve a bond or levy ballot measure as early as November 2026, though nothing is decided.
2025 City Audit Results
No direct cost; a clean audit signals the city's finances are in good order.
Parks Maintenance Fee increase for Operations Center
Adds $5.20 per month (about $62 a year) to residential utility bills; about $561,000 a year toward the Operations Center.
