Top issues during term (20)
Data Center Overlay Zoning Rules
No direct cost now, but a future data center could bring major tax revenue — and major demands on city water, power, fire, and road infrastructure.
Colt Springs Phase 3 rezoning to larger lots
Lots would stay in the roughly $300K-$360K home-price range Burton has maintained, with grading costs near $1.8 million on the developer's side.
Substance Abuse Task Force and Recovery Court
$12,000 awarded for Red Ribbon Week anti-drug programming.
Contour Airlines Service Performance
The subsidy is federal money, but the carrier choice affects fares, flight frequency, and the city's cash-flow float of roughly $500,000-$600,000 monthly under alternate EAS reimbursement.
Youth prevention programs in Page schools
Freshmen Focus may require task force funding, amount not yet determined.
Tesla Supercharger station and EV charging zoning
Potential line-extension costs borne by the developer instead of a formal citywide impact-fee program.
Small business support and recruitment
Tied to a beautification grant requiring roughly $1.5 million in business improvements.
Terminal construction and airport projects
Current plan costs about $3 million, ~95% FAA-funded (city share roughly 2.5%); the bigger option would add $2.5 million in unreimbursed local costs.
Wesley Hotel rezoning
The owners have spent about $2 million on renovations with a September 25 grand opening; the commission suggested the city consider waiving the application fee for this correction.
Proposed Land Sale Agreement with Trebol Hospitality
The developer offered $100,000 toward trail relocation, with council discussion of directing roughly $1.8 million to parks in the coming budget.
Page Utility Enterprises Power Cost Trends
Wholesale power at $7.7 million is the utility's single biggest cost; new SPP fees will be added to next year's budget.
General Manager's Performance Review
A 15% raise to the GM's salary, subject to council approval.
Page Magistrate Treatment Court Enhancement Grant
Brings $759,189 in federal money into the community over four years at no local grant cost.

Costs $401,006.31 — about $34,000 less than budgeted.
