Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Taylor public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Heritage Park pavilion roof and church lease
The Open Air Pavilion gets a new $255,571 roof (up to $273,461 with contingency); acting quickly saved about $20,000.
Lang Park redevelopment progress
Two small city-owned lots on Hampden and Lincoln sold for $11,000 and $10,000, with buyers expected to build houses — returning the land to the tax rolls and ending city mowing costs.
Northwest Pool closure and repair
A storm fried the pool's pump; a $12,620 emergency purchase should get it running again soon.
Special Olympics Cool School PlungeSTER
Taylor schools are hosting a polar-plunge fundraiser March 5, 2026 at Taylor High, halfway to a $10,000 goal with 100 plungers. Council Member William Patts agreed to take the plunge.
County grant funding for Taylor North Little League and Taylor Conservatory
Wayne County Commissioner Alex Garza brought $150,000 to Taylor: $50,000 for Taylor North Little League and $100,000 for the Taylor Conservatory Foundation. The Little League money means free registration for every registered child this season, and the Conservatory will use its share to rehabilitate and expand its pavilion as the botanical gardens mark 20 years open to the public.
