Top issues during term (20)
Shakertown Road Widening Project Opposition
Project funded partially by state and federal grants with local match funds, impacting property values and right-of-way acquisitions.
Automated License Plate Readers (Flock Cameras)
Involves ongoing contractual expenditures for police surveillance technology.
Hartfulness Meditation Center Picnic Shelter
Private organizational investment for community gathering facilities.
Concord Commons Mixed-Use PUD Rezoning
The developer estimates townhomes around $350,000-$400,000 if for sale, or roughly $2,400-$2,500 monthly rent; a traffic study at the site-plan stage could require road improvements on Indian Ripple.
The Greene Pylon Sign Modification
Minor commercial impact related to signage and advertising infrastructure.
Proposed Municipal Income Tax
Could shift local tax revenue streams by introducing a municipal income tax while reducing property taxes for eligible residents.
Electric aggregation program renewal
Residents on the program have saved over $19 million since 2018; the new rate would be higher but still below AES's 10.85-cent default.
ODOT Transportation and Sidewalk Infrastructure Projects
Estimated $148,720 in repairs, assessed to property owners at roughly $20 per square foot.
Birch Hill Suites Apartment Hotel Conditional Use
Economic viability of the extended-stay lodging facility.
Concord Commons Rezoning
Private development investment for the 22.3-acre site.
Factory Road bridge delays
Businesses and residents face ongoing disruption; cost details unknown.
Municipal Income Tax and Property Tax Reduction Ballot Measure
About $19.6 million a year in new revenue, a $15.2 million property tax revenue reduction, and projected deficits of $3.5 million during phase-in and $874,000 in 2030.
Chick-Fil-A Site Plan Modification
The restaurant is expected to be a strong sales generator and anchor that helps attract other tenants to the Raiders Row development.
Youth Group for Indian Culture Development Proposal
Potential economic investment and commercial tax revenue generation for the city.
Raider Row Rezoning (PUD 26-1)
The Green Pylon Sign and Tree Removal
Private signage investment by the shopping center.
Fence height limits in required front yards
The family faces the cost of a less-suitable 4-foot fence, invisible fence system, or a redesigned variance application.
Annual Street Lighting Assessments
Assessments on parcels in specified lighting districts, placed on the county tax duplicate.
Greene Towne Center TIF continuation
The TIF diverts tax increment to repay the bond; a surplus suggests possible early retirement.
Emergency designation of appropriation ordinances
The emergency clause avoids a 30-day delay the city says could jeopardize grant funding and the project schedule.
