Costs are limited to sign installation and traffic map updates; no specific figure was given.
Flock license plate reader cameras
New small businesses on Layton Avenue and citywide
New businesses occupy vacant storefronts, but several sites have parking shortfalls the council must waive.
Neighborhood traffic petition (87th/88th/90th St area)
Costs are limited to sign installation and traffic map updates; no specific figure was given.
Commercial assessment challenges by Walmart and MMAC
A loss in this lawsuit could affect how big-box properties are assessed and could chip away at the city's tax base.
Spring Mall redevelopment advances
Grant funding would offset demolition and site-prep costs the city and developer would otherwise bear.
Digital billboards along the I-894 corridor
The Loomis Crossing billboard is expected to contribute about $1.875 million to TID 8 over its life.

Property values drive the tax bills residents and businesses will see, with 422 change notices mailed this year.
American Red Cross Blood Donation Center
2027 City Budget and Property Tax Levy
The city receives about $684,000 in ERP aid — up $47,000 from last year — but that doesn't come close to covering cost growth.

Church is nonprofit, so the parcel split avoids creating a second taxable parcel issue; flood area costs stem from chronic flooding near Aldi.
