Top issues during term (6)(General)
Proposed 180-day data center moratorium
No direct cost, but it could affect future development and tax base.
Federal public safety grants totaling about $2.4 million
Over $2 million in requested grant awards; grants typically require no local match unless stated.
Wood Street Renaming to Dr. Roderick Demond Little Drive
Minor costs for signage and address changes could apply.
city employee salaries
Raises are currently self-funded within IT's existing $1.9M personnel line; additional raises would require cuts elsewhere.
data center moratorium delay
Unknown — the ordinance text and any fiscal analysis were not provided.
sanctuary city designation
If Washington follows through, Jackson could face tougher access to some federal grants or added costs for legal and compliance work—but the label alone doesn't automatically cut a check or yank funding.
