Top issues during term (20)
O'Reilly Auto Parts at 3300 Chili Avenue
No direct town cost, but the design outcome will shape the Chili Avenue corridor's look and traffic for years.
Residential variance requests in the R-1-15 District
No direct town cost — conditions shift review, filing and landscape costs to the applicant.
Neighborhood speeding and e-bike safety
No direct cost mentioned, though traffic studies, patrols, and signage could carry modest costs.
2027 Preliminary Budget and District Assessments
Sets the library's 2027 funding level, which comes from town taxpayers.
