Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Apex public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Public Safety Staffing and Accreditation
The police department faces significant challenges regarding officer staffing levels, aging vehicle fleets, and inadequate downtown facility space.
FY 2027 budget and tax increase
Budget hearing speakers demanded the council hold property taxes flat, citing a 50% tax bill increase over five years and downtown streetscape overruns, warning they'll campaign against any bond.
Data Center Moratorium
After the big data center application was withdrawn, Apex wants a one-year pause on data center construction so staff can write proper rules into the UDO without an active application pressuring them. State law requires notice and a public hearing first, so the formal vote is expected in April.
