Top issues during term (20)
Multi-Year Budget Sustainability
Will shape the allocation of city resources and property tax considerations in the upcoming budget cycle.

The MOU is non-binding and does not commit city funds at this time.
Infrastructure and Bond Projects
Up to $6 million over three years, capped at $2 million annually.
Atmos Energy pipeline projects in Carrollton
Atmos invested $5.8 million in Carrollton in 2025; project costs are borne by Atmos, not the city.
DART Governance Reform
Aimed at protecting municipal revenues and securing state authorization for tourism and hotel tax programs.
DART funding dispute
The agreements aim to redirect millions in sales tax revenue toward local street and mobility projects over the next six years.
Short-Term Rental Regulation and Neighborhood Compatibility

Impound fees and citation costs may increase for non-compliant pet owners.
