Top issues during term (11)(Taxes Budget)
Community Empowerment Grant 2027
Grant funding allocations may direct city money to community groups, but no figures are on the record.
Shaker Life magazine editor contract
A $67,000 annual contract, offset in part by about $216,000 in magazine advertising revenue expected in 2026.
Shaker Life advertising sales management
Supports about $216,000 a year in advertising revenue for the city.
Healthcare consulting services contract
The contract would add consulting spending, though it could help control larger healthcare benefit costs — the dollar figures weren't in the materials provided.
Tax incentive agreements and PILOTs
PILOT revenues now fully cover the Urban Renewal District bond debt service annually.
Home Repair Grant Program Funding and Administration
$200,000 over 18 months — $142,000 in grants, the rest in HRRC administrative fees.
Committee Restructuring
2026 Attract and Retain Marketing Campaign
The marketing contract with Singleton + Partners took effect January 1; specific 2026 spending was not detailed in the available documents.
2026 Property & Casualty Insurance Renewal
The proposed insurance award would cost the city $576,370.
Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program
Membership is free with no minimum commitments, and national pricing could save money on big purchases — but no dollar figures were attached to the proposal.
Fair Housing Program budget and funding
The proposed 2026 budget was about $57,323 in anticipated expenditures, with HUD funding uncertain.
