Top issues during term (20)
New Recreation Center CMAR and renovation timeline
Pre-construction fees of $15,000–$30,000 now; full construction contract (roughly $20 million GMP) to come later.
City Facility Energy Upgrades (Schneider Electric)
$50,000 audit cost now; potential $4-5 million in upgrades funded largely by guaranteed utility savings.
Auto parts and accessory sales SUP at 4177 Main Street
Accessory structure rules and lot coverage limits
Could add housing options and modest property improvements, but no direct city cost identified yet.
Carr Street pavement reconstruction
The project costs $505,287.21, about $230,000 less than the next-lowest bid, and comes from already-budgeted CIP funds.
Precious metals and coin dealer SUP at 5000 Main Street
This should bring in a nice chunk of change for the city through increased sales tax revenue.
FM 423 median lighting repairs
$382,000 from the city budget.
Oncor Electrical Infrastructure and Street Lighting
$289,465.
Colony Commerce Center rezoning (PD-10 to PD-31)
Developer projects about $800,000 a year in new tax revenue plus $700,000-plus in construction-year sales tax, with no city incentives requested.
U-Haul Auto Rental at Colony Square Shopping Center
No city infrastructure spending is planned; the property owner is funding its own lighting and site improvements at the aging center.
Gateway Centre North PD-30 amendments
Flock License Plate Reader Cameras
$126,000 over two years.
FY2027 Property Tax Rate
Flat rate with falling values means about $270,000 less city revenue; some homeowners' bills may still rise as caps expire.
Election Sign Ordinance Cleanup
Annex Parking Congestion During Early Voting
U-Haul auto rental at South Colony Blvd
Grandscape PID Annual Assessment
Doesn't come from homeowners' property taxes — Grandscape parcel owners and businesses pay the assessment.
Palace Parkway, LLC lease and Chapter 380 incentive agreement
Incentive terms were discussed in closed session and not disclosed.
Blue Sky Sports Center litigation resolution and asset sale
Sale terms weren't disclosed publicly, so the dollar impact isn't known yet.

Brings in up to $672,068 over two years ($336,034/year) in revenue.
