Top issues during term (20)
Community Supporting Schools Funding Oversight
City dollars previously funding two reading specialists at North Drive are up for reallocation, potentially covering salaries at other Goldsboro schools.
Cemetery Trust Acceptance Policy
City covers visitor center utilities and maintenance; no hard dollar figure yet.
Regional Wastewater System with Wayne County
Roughly $90,000 remains in the state grant to fund this work; merging towns' rates could drop by half or more, while city ratepayers keep a stable system.
Union Station Stabilization
$1.5 million in combined funding, with $230,000 of negotiated savings available for alternates.
Street Pavement Preservation Program
Contract came in $136,538 under budget; the draft budget adds $3.2 million for paving next year.
Proposed Census Residency Changes and Military Undercount
Could reduce census-based population counts and related funding tied to Seymour Johnson AFB personnel.
The Fallon conditional rezoning (East Ash Street)
This project could shake up local real estate prices and bring in fresh property tax dollars, but it also risks overbuilding if the population doesn't catch up.
Sewer System Condition and $205M Capital Needs
An estimated $1,200 pipe repair potentially falling on a grant-recipient homeowner.
Industrial land at interstate interchanges
The annexed land is expected to bring about $88,827 a year in city revenue once developed.
Unified development ordinance update
Funded in the current year's budget; cost of the update itself wasn't stated.
PFAS Treatment Funding
$500,000 in grant money costs the city a $20,000 closing fee from the utility fund.
Central Gardens Phase 2 Annexation
About $41,400 a year in new property tax revenue once the apartments are built.
Alleged Misuse of Authority — Parking Complaint
Inspection Fee Increases Proposed
Raises permit costs by $10–$100 per permit, all passed to the state.
Customer Convenience Fees and Xpress Bill Pay
Saves the city significant card-processing costs but adds a 3.5% fee (min $3) to card payments.
ArtsXcute Youth Theater Program Support Request
Roughly $2,000-plus in rental fees and unspecified staff support being considered.
