PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The 2013 Legislature will convene on January 7, 2013. The City of Billings traditionally adopts a set of legislative priorities prior to the start of each session. Staff and the City's lobbyist use the Council-adopted priorities as guidance during the legislative session and they are distributed to the Billings area Representatives and Senators. City Council reviewed the draft priorities at its October 15 work session. Staff is requesting that the City Council formally adopt a set of legislative priorities for the 2013 legislative session.

The City Council may approve the proposed priorities, change and approve them or disapprove them.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact from adopting the legislative priorities.
RECOMMENDATION
