Top issues during term (5)(Education)
Timpanogos School District Formation and Operations
The sale provides cash flow for the school district's CTE program to fund future student projects.
library display policy
No direct financial impact is mentioned, but this could affect community engagement and library funding down the line.
library display controversy
No major financial impacts are immediately apparent, but ongoing disputes could affect library funding or programming budgets.
school district bond opposition
Your taxes might not go up as much if this bond gets rejected.
library censorship allegations
This whole censorship drama could end up costing the city if legal battles arise or if public trust erodes funding.
Moved or seconded (36)
Motions Macdonald personally put forward or seconded. Attribution comes from the minutes; where the minutes name somebody we cannot match to the roster we leave it out rather than guess, so this is a floor, not a total.
