Resolutions that work against you
Resolution 2026-114 — Tiered water rate increase (34% over 3 years)
Your water bill goes up in three steps starting January. The steepest tier applies to anyone using more than 12 units a month — which includes most households with a yard or a family of four.
≈ $412/yr more for a median household; small businesses hit hardest in tier 3

The old tax expired on its own unless voters renewed it. The renewal makes it permanent — there is no future vote that automatically ends it.
$298/parcel/yr, permanent rather than the previous 8-year term
