Top issues during term (4)(General)
street vendor enforcement
Unlicensed vendors could face fines and lost sales, while the city spends more on enforcement and customers may lose low-cost food options.
urban greening master plan
Taxpayers may cover the upfront costs of planting and upkeep, but cleaner air and healthier neighborhoods could pay off down the line.
legal settlement
Your city tax dollars are covering the $900K payout.
reproductive health clinic zoning ordinance
There’s no big direct taxpayer cost, but Fontana loses the jobs and spending a new clinic could bring—and patients may pay more in travel and time.
