Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Gahanna public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Supplemental appropriations
Council adopted supplemental appropriations to cover bond interest on the Gahanna Civic Center project, keeping the marquee downtown project's financing on track.
FY 2027 City Budget
The administration wants Council to confirm which strategic plan priorities the 2027 budget should fund. A citywide sustainability plan is on the list, but members disagree on what it should cover and whether more plans are worth the cost.
2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan
The city's five-year infrastructure and parks spending plan is one week from final adoption, now with the action sports park back in as an "identified" project after it was dropped.
Mayor's veto of salary ordinance
Council raised future pay for the mayor ($130,000, 2028), city attorney ($110,000, 2028) and council ($12,750/year, 2030). Backers say it keeps compensation in line with peer cities and opens office to more people; critics, including the mayor herself, said the timing is wrong with budget projections pending and deferred Issue 12 projects unfinished.
