Top issues during term (5)(Development)
Proposed Homeless Shelter in Rock Creek Community
Bevara economic incentive agreement (Project Pressure)
The county rebates 80% of Bevara's property taxes for up to six years but keeps 20% and never pays out unless taxes are paid first — payments range from $10,920 in year one to $65,856 in years five and six.
Westside Corporate Hangar Site Development
$151,918 from the airport fund — no county tax dollars.
Relocation of the Peter H. Johnson grave for L-P expansion
No cost to the county — L-P covers the entire relocation.
Former Lincoln Heights School property disposition
The county walks away from a potential purchase; the property's sale proceeds will go to the school system instead.
