Legislative Platform

The Legislative Platform outlines the City’s position on legislative matters and serves as the foundation for the City to support or oppose various local, state and federal legislation. This platform seeks to not only secure critical resources for our City, but also outlines policy statements that will allow City staff and our legislative lobbyists to more effectively respond to and influence legislation at the local, state and federal level. This platform is meant to be an evolving document that will be amended year to year by City Council.*
