| Date | Item | What they put on the agenda | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 2, 2026 | F-1 | Direct the County Administrator, in consultation with the County Attorney and affected departments, to return no later than the first regular BOCC meeting in January 2027 with a proposed Growth-Related Infrastructure Fee Review Policy. The policy shall require annual reporting and formal review of County-controlled impact and mobility fees at least once every four years, with interim review triggers, clear timelines, and Board action following each review. This will create a durable governance process that requires the County to ask the question on a predictable schedule, receive current evidence in public, and make a deliberate decision before cost growth, legal changes or infrastructure needs create another long period of inaction. | Passed7–0 |

Net worth, public salary and total income are as reported on this official's own Form 6 filed with the Florida Commission on Ethics; each figure carries its form year, the date it was filed and the date the net worth speaks to. Pass rate is about what this official put on the agenda, not the motions they made: it counts sponsored items the board decided, passed against failed. Items that carry no motion at all, such as reports and special appearances, are counted separately and left out of the rate. Sponsored items show the first recorded motion on that item as the outcome. Full detail is in how we count. Land-use and lobbying figures cover Hillsborough County records.
