Top issues during term (5)(Environment)
Drainage Infrastructure Bond Disbursements
Involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in contractor payments for bond-funded drainage projects.
water resource management
You might see higher water bills if conservation tiers are adjusted or if the city invests in new infrastructure to manage the supply.
water contract transparency
While the immediate cost isn't clear, backroom water deals can lead to lumpy taxpayer-funded subsidies and higher utility bills down the road.
water infrastructure deal
The city gets a huge $220M upgrade for free, as long as they don't miss any deadlines and trigger a penalty refund.
water rate increase
Your monthly water bill is expected to go up to help pay for the new plant.

Motions Cantu 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.
