Top issues during term (20)
Water Billing Software Transition
Customers save on ACH fees and won't face late or shutoff fees through January 2.
Coast to Coast Heavy Haul development plan
No direct city cost, but the site's drainage improvements are meant to fix existing stormwater problems for neighbors to the south.
Military and Veterans Commission annual update
About $2,500 per Young Marine would need to be raised — no city money was committed.
Sewer lift station capacity in Carriage Trails
The next lift station costs close to $1 million, paid by the developer, not taxpayers.
Urban Tree Grant replanting plan
The work is funded through grant dollars, limiting the hit to the city budget.
Acquisition of two fire engines
The city gets two engines for roughly the price budgeted for one; lease financing spreads the cost.
Property tax rate certifications for Montgomery and Miami counties
Sets the official property tax levies for 2027 — Montgomery County levies total about $3.69 million across general, police, and fire funds.
City code updates (Supplement 26 and traffic/general offenses amendments)
No direct cost to residents; the code itself is subscription-based online until a printed version arrives in July.
Citizens Water and Sewer Advisory Board appointment
Background checks now done in-house, reducing cost.
Annexation of 5.091 acres from Bethel Township
Annexed territory becomes subject to city taxes and services; specific fiscal effects were not provided.
Grant writer contract with Hicks Partners LLC
About $78,000 a year from the General Fund, versus an estimated $130,000-$140,000 for an in-house hire.
Truck maintenance facility adjacent to Carriage Trails subdivision
Nearby homeowners worry the heavy-truck operation could hurt property values on homes that sold for $450,000 to $650,000-plus.
Residential incentive districts for up to 1,100 homes
The incentive districts affect how tax increment from the new development is handled — details come at the December 14 hearing.
Tree work at Cloud and Community Parks
About $100,000 in federal grant money for tree planting, no local tax hit mentioned.
Gingerbread walk public art proposal
No cost identified yet; details to come after the Chamber meeting.
Chambersburg Road widening coordination
$4.25 million estimated construction cost; the city seeks $750,000 in OPWC funds including a $250,000 loan.
Timbercrest demolition for dispatch/IT center
$570,059 one-time, paid from bond/note proceeds.
2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan
Council approves only one year of funding at a time; 2027 items are the least flexible.
Churches of Christ annexation for disaster relief warehouse
No direct cost to the city; the annexation adds the parcel to the city's tax base.
Canal Heights Sections 4 & 5 — 128 new homes
New homes expand the city's property tax base, though Carriage Trails will need a new sewer lift station.
