Top issues during term (18)(Taxes Budget)
Parks & Recreation Cost Recovery Philosophy
Could raise department revenue from 7% toward the 25% national average cost recovery benchmark, easing pressure on taxpayer subsidy.
Pima County 2027 Bond
A county bond could mean higher property taxes countywide — Sahuarita wants projects in exchange.
Budget retreat preparation
Indirect for now — this groundwork feeds into future budget decisions that will affect town spending and taxes.
Youth program fee concerns
Higher program fees have hit families; relief may come through income-based discounts if the ordinance is adopted.
Rules of Procedure amendments
None — this is procedural, not financial.
FY2027 Budget Adoption
Total department budget slightly over $5 million; positions held vacant to fund a market study.
Mayor and Council compensation COLA process
Funded from the general fund only when a staff COLA is approved in the budget; no new spending created now.
Open Meeting Law Compliance
Violations carry a $500 civil fine for knowingly aiding circumvention — paid personally, not by the town.
Police Pension Fund Health
The town's employer contribution rates for FY2027 are set at 18.74% for Tiers 1-2, 10.77% for Tier 3 DB, and 12.89% for DC members.
Quail Creek CFD FY2027 Final Budget and Property Tax Levy
Property owners in the district pay the same $4.99 per $100 assessed rate as last year — no tax increase.
2026 Legislative Session Outcomes
The signed state bill brings roughly $3.9 million in new funding for the lake project and police radios.
Business license renewal date change and future fees
About $70,000 a year in new town revenue; businesses pay $40–$105 depending on status.
RSCFD Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Property Tax Levy
The proposed FY27 budget totals $1,949,100, funded in part by an ad valorem property tax on property within the district.
Federal and state funding advocacy
Potential millions in federal funding; state bills could constrain town tax and regulatory authority.
Employee pay and classification study
Compensation study costs take priority over new positions this year.
Utility wildfire liability shift
If utilities are shielded, wildfire liability costs could fall on towns, counties, and property owners.
2026–2030 Strategic Plan adoption
The plan will guide how the town scores and allocates spending in priority-based budgeting.
FY2025 audit results
A clean audit signals sound stewardship of resident tax dollars.
