Commission Highlights

At the City's inaugural Spring Budget Workshop I shared my priorities for our District and expectations for city millage rates to go down as the city's taxable value increases. Share your priorities with me by doing my annual budget survey.
The Commission voted 4-2 to grant an additional 24' height bonus to developers working on new projects in the Downtown District if they include at least 100 public parking spaces. This means some buildings near neighborhoods could be up to 157' tall. I voted no.

POLL RESULT: Should artificial turf be allowed at residential properties?
