Top issues during term (20)
Flock surveillance cameras / police data privacy
Pilot program with an estimated $75,000 funding pool mentioned in discussion.
Flock/Axon license plate camera contracts
One commenter cited a potential $2,500-per-search penalty exposure that could theoretically reach billions if litigated.
City property negotiations with Teen Center USA
Unknown — the sale or lease price and terms are still being negotiated.
Calvine Pointe storage and retail project
The project will generate an estimated $500,000-$600,000 in impact fees for city services.
New Elk Grove Library funding
$500,000 transferred for library collections and programs; artwork contract reduced by $15,600.
9392 West Stockton Boulevard Land Purchase
Adds $959,000 to the FY 2026-27 budget.
Summer Flats Housing Density and Workforce Housing
The source doesn’t give a price tag, but this likely means public or nonprofit money going toward affordable senior housing rather than a direct cost to most residents.
Kelsey Drive speed humps proposal
Summer Flats housing density and Waterman Road traffic
The project would add 91 units to East Elk Grove buildout and fund its share of Waterman Road widening through frontage improvements and CIP contributions.
Zoo Site Costs and Potential Sale
Roughly $13–16 million in taxpayer funds already spent; sale price recovery is the open question.
Historic Main Street Special Planning Area update
Update funded within the Community Development Department's existing budget.
Groundwater Basin Health
SCGA runs on about $1 million in member contributions; a fee study is underway with the last one from 2021.
City authorizes new litigation
Unknown — litigation costs and any settlement exposure haven't been disclosed.
Traffic Safety at Rancho Drive/Waterman Road Intersection
The project would contribute roughly $1.5–1.8 million in roadway fees, but a signal at Rancho/Waterman isn't currently funded in the five-year CIP.
Old Town Streetscape Phase 2 construction
The construction contract is about $8.2 million, with up to $1.2 million in possible change orders.
Traffic signal timing at Waterman and Rancho Drive
No direct fiscal action; council referenced Measure E funds as a potential source for innovative traffic technology.
Local Preference for Affordable Housing
No additional staffing is expected; the program rides on existing housing staff duties.
Franklin Boulevard Cycle Track
$296,269 contract plus up to $29,625 in change orders; federal project STPL-5479(088).
Library property negotiations at 9260 Elk Grove Boulevard
She pegs taxpayer renovation costs at $7 million that she wants recouped in any sale.
