Top issues during term (20)
University Avenue commercial rezone
No direct city cost — the change mainly restores a legal use and enables future site improvements.
New single-family homes on South Broadway
City sells the lot; homes appraised around $310,000 expand the tax base.
Vacant property registration and fee ordinance
Unpaid registration fees would stay with previous owners after arm's-length sales under an amendment adopted Tuesday.
Traffic Calming Policy overhaul
Potential future costs depend on the revised policy's funding approach, including possible owner assessments or grants.
Operator's license appeal and application disclosures
Potential loss of a neighborhood business; no direct city cost.
Grandview Industrial Park expansion
Up to $51,000 in TID 25 funds for the land purchase.
Firefighter candidate retention
Hiring costs weren't detailed, but filling police and fire positions affects the departments' budgets.
South Grandview Road temporary bridge repairs
$151,571.25 for temporary bridge repairs.
Sex offender residency appeals
Rezoning of 703, 707, and 713 Roy Avenue
The cost of adding sidewalks hasn't been estimated yet — that's exactly what the staff review will figure out.
2025 Justice Assistance Grant acceptance
Accepting the grant saves the city from buying the radios out of the general fund; rejecting it means the roughly $62,000 equipment cost lands on local taxpayers.
Green Bay Packers Foundation grant for Conservation Corps
AmeriCorps crew members receive a $975 biweekly living allowance; partnership projects run $6,000-$7,500 per week.
Bay Beach Amusement Park Shoreline Walk
No local match required for the $2.4 million grant, but the city must cover trail engineering costs (likely over $50,000).
Vacant commercial property registration and fees
Fees would range from $0 in year one to $4,000 after four years of vacancy, with enforcement run mostly on complaints given limited staffing.
GenCap fire station apartments on S. Broadway
Includes a $5.1 million city loan, a $450,000 developer fee, $417,349.98 in pass-through federal funds, and a potential $3.17 million grant obligation.
East River Optimist Park playground funding
Funded entirely by a $50,000 donation and a $45,771.99 grant.
Elimination of City Assessor position
Contract costs with Forward-Appraisal replace the salary and benefits of the eliminated position; exact savings weren't stated.
Recycling contamination at Bay Beach Amusement Park
A reverse vending machine would run roughly $6,000–$7,000 plus ongoing licensing and reward subsidies, and the city won't pay for it without a sponsor or grant.
2026 budget amendment for special events overtime
Uses budget authority for overtime not planned in the 2026 budget.
Responsible bidder threshold increase
Changes the threshold for bid review from $25,000 to $50,000.
