2013 ARIZONA STATE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA RECOMMENDATION: ADOPT RESOLUTION 13-1535 TO BE PROACTIVE AND INVOLVED IN THE STATE GOVERNMENTAL DECISION MAKING PROCESSES DIRECTLY AFFECTING THE CITY LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE CITY COUNCIL ACTION FORM REPORT AND THE ARIZONA LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. PURPOSE: In addition to the direction given to staff on specific issues, these principles will guide the Office of Intergovernmental Programs on all other legislative matters that arise during session. The Council approved agenda will define the City of Goodyear’s priorities and guide the City’s lobbying activities at the Arizona State Legislature and in the United States Congress. It is not expected that Goodyear will introduce legislation this session but will support and assist in lobbying efforts on the issues set forth. Although the City’s legislative agenda is a flexible document and may change based on activities at the Legislature and with Council direction, the general concepts are provided here for your discussion and approval. The Office of Intergovernmental Programs will provide updates on a regular basis throughout the session in order to keep the Council informed of bills and amendments.
