Top issues during term (8)
car wash moratorium
More car washes could bring permit fees and tax revenue to the city, but they’ll also ramp up competition for existing wash owners.
city administrator appointment
Your tax dollars will cover his salary and help set the city’s spending priorities, though the source doesn’t give specific cost details.
mayoral election
No immediate dollar impact is spelled out yet, but the next mayor will help shape city budgets, taxes, and spending priorities.
state audit investigation
No criminal case means the city avoids potential legal defense costs and penalties tied to prosecution.
sidewalk installation dispute
He’s out the cost of a sidewalk he says provides no practical benefit, and the uneven enforcement could leave other homeowners unsure whether they’ll be next.
economic development project cancellation
Perrysburg likely misses out on potential construction spending, entertainment sales, and tax revenue the venue could have generated, though the source doesn’t give a dollar figure.
city administrator resignation
There’s no direct dollar figure attached yet, but the city may face costs for an interim administrator, a search process, and possible transition delays.
city credit card misuse investigation
If cards were misused, that’s public money potentially wasted—and the fix could add oversight costs or recover funds.
