Top issues during term (20)
Massage therapy business specific use permits
Therapists report $400-$500+ out of pocket each for permits, notices, and signage.

City Attorney employment status
The city will pay up to $40,000 for the contract legal services.
Arcadia Lake master plan implementation
No specific funding figures were published with the agenda.
Community Wildfire Protection
No direct cost from the plan itself — its main financial upside is unlocking state and federal grant funding for wildfire mitigation projects.
2nd Street & Broadway Corridors Plan
Estimated $2,130 per person for travel.
Tree preservation at Covell Crossing via easement closing
Not specified in the published agenda.
Lake Arcadia access policies

$132,000 in June lodging tax funds tourism programs and city services.
Brakes Plus site plan near Santa Fe Avenue
Neighbors cite potential erosion of home values along the unbuffered fence line.

The mayor noted the car wash would generate little municipal sales tax compared to retail.
Police ordinance updates
