Top issues during term (9)(General)
Mills Act Program Overhaul and Fee Deferral
Each Mills Act contract suppresses property taxes on historic homes, sometimes to a half or third of market rate, reducing city revenue.
Structural budget deficit
Labor settlements and reserve rebuilding will shape the city's budget for years.
Graffiti removal delays
A weekend removal contractor would cost money, but the speaker argued blight reduction protects property values.
Bed and breakfast inn in Old Towne Historic District
Expect potential fines if you're operating a short-term rental and not following the new rules.
trash bin violations
You might get a warning if you mess up, but no fines mentioned yet.
municipal bankruptcy
Basically, if the city goes bankrupt, your taxes and city services could go haywire.
