LB: One: Returning the operation of the city to traditional live (nonvirtual) city council, commission and board meetings while maintaining social safety standards. Two: providing an elective and penalty free extension for property tax payment(s) to June 1, 2021 for all citizens, and three: freezing property taxes for a period of two years at the amount for either any of the past two tax years or the upcoming tax year, whichever is less.

JD: Our small businesses suffered a lot during the coronavirus pandemic. Single parents and working families were also hit hard. And many of us citizens longed for answers, or just communication. As Mayor, I will work to revive small businesses through creative relief programs. I will partner with non-profits to help families get caught up on life. And I will be available, serving as that strong leader who makes tough decisions, when you need it most.

JS: Our main priority is the preservation of our local businesses, not just because they are owned by and employ our friends and neighbors, but also because they are the backbone of our local economy. We must continue to grow our sales tax base if we are going to maintain the level of services expected by our community and keep our property taxes low. Our small business grant programs were a small step, and innovative ideas like outdoor dining will also help.
