Top issues during term (20)
Proposed 2027 City Budget
City tax on a typical $805,000 home rises $97.81 (2.82%); the total levy grows $609,450.
Roadway, Drainage and Sidewalk Improvements
$717,772 contract, funded through the capital bond.
Water Department Cybersecurity
Up to $37,500, largely covered by a state grant.
2026 road, drainage and sidewalk improvements
$717,772 drainage contract plus an $84,485 road contract change order.
Landmark designation of the First Presbyterian Church (7 North Lane)
Failed $4.9M bond ordinance for capital improvements
$4.9 million in borrowing — about $2 million less than last year — but delayed projects could cost more if bid prices rise.
Chemical Bulk Storage Spill Prevention Plan
Unknown — cleanup is state-led, but property values and health costs fall on residents.
Federal and State Police Grants
$1,156,600 in grant funds offset costs; the Tahoe purchase is $86,396.20.
Commercial building permit fee increase
Raises costs for commercial builders, adding revenue to the city.
New stop sign at Kirkwood Drive and Brookdale Road
Minimal — a stop sign and signage costs only.
Electric Vehicle Charging Fees
New charging revenue at $0.40/kWh covers city costs after the state grant ended.
Pulaski Street Garage Lease to North Shore Honda
About $10,417 per month in lease revenue, retroactive to June 2026.
Nassau County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Hotel occupancy tax uncertainty
Budget shifts $150,000 out of the hotel tax line but still counts on some of that revenue.
Sales Tax Revenue Shift from County to State
New revenue streams include $286,000 hotel occupancy tax and increased state aid of $659,000.
Parking Violation and Fine Amendments
Budget projects $205,000 more in police/parking-fine revenue; new fines range $25–$300.
Water system maintenance at Nancy Court well
Up to $140,800 for the emergency carbon replacement.
Cigarette litter recycling program launched
Funded by a $15,000 grant, not city dollars.
road closure
Probably just a few hours of inconvenience—no major cost unless you own a business that relies on that stretch of road during the morning rush.
garbage collection schedule
No direct city cost is cited, but missing the Oct. 28 yard-waste and metal deadline could mean paying for private disposal or waiting until next season.
