Top issues during term (8)(Environment)
Water Security and T-BAR Property
$110,000 for design and construction documents, plus construction costs to follow.
flood response
Expect some city funds to be redirected to cover emergency response costs and potential infrastructure repairs.
Water Infrastructure Capacity
The city is investing in new water main infrastructure.
ETJ Development and Water Sustainability
Infrastructure review ensures new developments meet city codes without undue public fiscal burden.
water quality
Get ready to shell out more cash for repairs and replacements because hard water is a killer for your washing machine and dishwasher.
water pollution cleanup
Taxpayers are footing the bill for a cleanup that's taking way too long, meaning more money down the drain.
water pressure issues
While inconvenient, there's no immediate financial hit mentioned, just a temporary plumbing headache.
wastewater spill
Taxpayer money is likely being spent on the cleanup and any necessary repairs.

Motions Burkholder personally put forward or seconded. Attribution comes from the minutes; where the minutes name somebody we cannot match to the roster we leave it out rather than guess, so this is a floor, not a total.
