Top issues during term (3)(Water Utilities)
Sewer infrastructure bonding (KMart and Perry Road pump stations)
Up to $11.03 million in new debt, which carries a property tax levy if approved.
Cumberland Street sewer separation project
The city's share is about $1.31 million, funded by shifting $975,000 from other approved projects plus $495,000 already set aside — no new money requested.
Penjajawoc sewer capacity and I-95 crossing
Funded with $933,000 in federal ARPA money, so no hit to local taxpayers for this phase.
