Top issues during term (20)
Telecommunications Leases at Pronghorn Park and Public Works Yard
No town cost figures were given; residents worry about property-value impacts nearby.
Planning & Zoning Commission appointments
Santa Fe Master Plan
Some budget is available this year for Santa Fe Station Park improvements, though specific costs weren't detailed.
Potential E-Bike Regulation
Fines of $50 per offense could generate minor enforcement revenue.
New Community Resource Specialist
Grant-funded position continues, so no new local cost is expected.
Automated Materials Handling and RFID Project
The equipment purchase is being made through the YCFLD library consortium, so costs are shared across member libraries.
State Legislative Priorities for Prescott Valley
Any state funding or legislation discussed could eventually affect the town's budget, but no financial decisions are made at this meeting.
Amended Library Board Bylaws
Community Survey Review
Survey administration by a third-party contractor; expected roughly 4,000 responses.
Front yard fence height variance at 3615 N Sharon Drive
No cost to the town is apparent; the impact is limited to the property's fence rules.
Glassford Hill Road and Lakeshore/Lake Valley intersection improvements
About $440,000 combined in design contracts, with construction costs to follow.
Missing secondary entrances/exits in Prescott Valley neighborhoods
Retrofitting roads into existing neighborhoods would be costly and is described as a long, collaborative effort; new subdivisions face added construction requirements.

Free to residents; potential for lower homeowners' insurance premiums.
Tree Advisory Board Activities
Aquatics Facility Project
The contract value for engineering, design and construction was not disclosed.
Reasonable accommodation variance for special-needs family
No direct cost to the town beyond normal variance processing; costs fall on the applicant to build the fence.

Ongoing spending on signage, course modifications and potential future relocation.
Public Records Law and Records Request Program Amendments
About 1,047 staff hours a year (roughly 6.5 months of full-time work) with negligible cost recovery.
Ballot Proposition Informational Videos
Prop 492, if approved, could add over 8,000 residents requiring costly infrastructure; Prop 404 involves potential tax rebate and fee losses.
Library Staffing Changes
Replacing a retiring cataloger and adding part-time staff will draw on the library's operating budget.
