1. Protection of Taxpayers' Dollars – please respond by February 26, 2026

How much of a priority should be placed on protecting taxpayers' dollars? If we are granting dollars for “economic development” should the company be vetted? Should an “economic development” grant require an actual application? Why or why not?

 Did not respond.

 

2. Density – please respond by March 5, 2026

a. How do you feel about SB840 which allows changing commercially zoned properties to mixed-use or multi-family zoned properties without an approval from P&Z and/or the city council? Why?

b. How do you feel about RMU (Regional Mixed Use) zoning and its potential 100 units/acre? Why?

 Did not respond.

 

3. Citizen Participation – please respond by March 12, 2026

In 2023 the city council voted to require preregistration and reduce speaking time for citizen participation (at the end of the meeting). Do you agree with this move? Is two minutes enough time to describe a situation and make desired comments/solutions/etc.?

Did not respond.

 

4. Corporate Welfare – please respond by March 19, 2026

The City Council has given away millions of dollars and/or potential revenues to companies to encourage development. At what point has there been enough “encouragement” and when should the taxpayers-- and lowering tax rates-- become a higher priority than development? Why?

Did not respond.

 

5. Communications – please respond by March 26, 2026

If you receive an e-mail from a constituent on an Arlington issue and the constituent logically laid out and well documented the issue, will you respond to the constituent? Why or why not? What actions will you take?

Did not respond.

 

6. Issues – please respond by April 2, 2026

Other than public safety what is the most important issue the city council is currently facing? Why? What are your suggestions for addressing this issue?

Did not respond.
