Top issues during term (5)(General)
November 2026 rent control and just cause eviction ballot measure
A consultant estimated $4-$10 million a year in city administration costs plus $300,000-$700,000 startup, to be covered by landlord fees of roughly $338-$445 per unit per year — but the ordinance bars using the general fund, creating a funding puzzle.
Veterans Memorial/Senior Center demolition
$545,300 contract, up to $654,360 with change orders.
Flavored tobacco sales and tobacco retail permits
Business owners warned of lost jobs and revenue to neighboring cities that retain local enforcement; the city keeps enforcement authority over flavored tobacco sales.
State of the City address
Expect city funds to be redirected towards housing programs and transit upgrades.
data center energy demand
Your energy bill could go up if we don't find a smart way to power these new tech hubs.
