Top issues during term (6)(Business Jobs)
Mural RFP artist pay dispute
Two $10,000 mural RFPs at issue; no city mural funding since 2022 outside grants.
Airport terminal replacement checkpoint costs
$100,000 from the economic development opportunity fund.
Loss of UPS air cargo service
Minor loss of cargo fees; staff said the revenue wouldn't have kept pace with the airport's growth anyway.
Terminal advertising fee schedule
New revenue for the airport — Tier AA at $10,000/year down to $750 nonprofit spots, with fees adjusted annually for CPI.
Difficulty filling Senior Accountant (payroll) position
The payroll function remains unfilled, which could slow finance operations until the position is staffed.
Card Room Table Expansion
Any added tables mean more card-room tax and fee revenue, though the city's cut wasn't quantified.
