Top issues during term (6)(General)
city manager appointment
Your local tax dollars pay for city operations, and Blosser will help steer how that budget is managed.
strategic planning session
The plan will steer future tax dollars toward chosen priorities, but no specific spending amounts are set yet.
city leadership appointments
New council members can shift how Fairmont spends taxpayer money on roads and city services, so budget choices may get a fresh look.
livestock and beekeeping ordinances
Don’t expect a big wallet hit—this is mostly about permits and rules, not a new tax.
eminent domain
Taxpayers may cover acquisition and legal costs, but the city gains a redevelopment asset that could eventually generate new tax revenue.
building collapse
Taxpayers could get stuck with inspection, emergency response, and demolition bills, while the property owner faces repair or liability costs.
