Top issues during term (15)(General)
Red-light camera enforcement and traffic engineering
Camera citations represent over $4.8 million in annual penalties; roughly 80% goes to courts and the state.
Downtown-area development hearings postponed
Expect some cash to be spent to make downtown pop, but it could bring in more business later.
Flock Camera Expansion
Up to $55,500 total contract increase over three years plus installation.
ICE Enforcement and Unmarked Vehicles in Manteca
No new city spending here, just following the state's lead.
Park hours ordinance
It's unclear if this will cost taxpayers more or less, but it might affect local businesses if fewer people are around.
local issues
Expect your tax dollars to potentially go towards fixing sidewalks and addressing homelessness, with maybe some cash for a cricket pitch.
flag policy
No major financial impacts are expected from this flag policy change.
property damage dispute
You might have to pay for repairs if the city doesn't step in, but maybe they can get the golf course to cover it.
legal settlement
Get ready for your tax dollars to potentially go towards this settlement, as it's a big chunk of change for the city.
waste disposal strike
You might have to hold onto your trash longer, and who knows what that could cost if it gets really bad.
bicycle impound ordinance
Expect potential fines if your bike gets snagged under the new rules.
utility rate increase
Expect your monthly utility bill to climb, but it's for much-needed system fixes.
Main Street construction impact
Local businesses are losing money because customers can't easily get to them.
waste management strike
Expect to pay more for trash services if this strike drags on.
property damage
Homeowners are footing the bill for repairs, and they want the golf course or the city to pay up.
