Top issues during term (5)(General)
Land Development Code Updates — Market Hall and Planned Developments

Honorary street name for crossing guard Clark Rumiser
Minor cost for manufacturing and maintaining the honorary sign.
Darrow Road Speed Limit Reduction
Adds roughly 45 seconds to a two-mile drive on the corridor; no major city cost identified.
oil and gas drilling regulation
Drilling could bring lease payments and tax revenue to some property owners and the city, but nearby residents may face costs tied to safety, insurance, or property values.
city manager lawsuit settlement
The $80,000 settlement comes out of city funds, so Hudson taxpayers ultimately foot the bill.
