Taxes / Budget Transparency and easy access to information on the fiscal health of Groveland with Quarterly & yearly financial reports. Infrastructure / Transportation Make Growth Pay for Itself - 25,000 new homes have been approved with no infrastructure to back it up. Infrastructure cannot be an afterthought with the city left “holding the bag.” We must address traffic & roads, Utilities, Parks, and greenspaces with the benefiting parties paying their proportionate share. Housing Adopt a Citizens and Property Owners Bill of Rights – recognize that the rights of our tax paying Citizens are not subordinate to outside business interests. Citizens should be engaged early in the planning process to allow public input to insure we are adhering to our Strategic Plan. Taxes / Budget Implement Zero-based budgeting. ZBB is a budgeting standard in which all expenses must be justified for a new year starting from zero. No more automatic line-item increases. Economy Embrace a Business-friendly culture that fosters more home-grown businesses, Farm-to-Table restaurants, Expanded Farmer’s Market, and similar opportunities near the Downtown area.
