Top issues during term (6)(General)
Data center permitting standards
Regulation design could affect future infrastructure and utility costs for residents.
Expanded notice for zoning cases
Notice costs rise modestly for applicants — roughly $289 versus $136 in a sample case, paid twice during the process.
ICE detainer policy
Honoring more detainers could drive up local jail and administrative costs, though the exact price tag isn’t clear yet.
local control over federal ICE enforcement
No price tag has been attached yet, but changing how the city cooperates with ICE could shift local law enforcement costs and federal funding arrangements.
immigrant detention policy
It could change jail costs, legal compliance expenses, and federal funding stakes—but the price tag isn’t clear yet.
sanctuary city policy change
The city may protect federal grant eligibility or avoid costly litigation, but closer immigration cooperation can add local jail and policing costs.
