Agenda Item Text:
Approve a letter to the Arizona State Legislature outlining Cochise County’s 2016 legislative priorities and seeking sponsorship of four legislative proposals developed by the County.
Background:
On November 3, 2015 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 15-26 establishing legislative priorities for 2016. These legislative priorities, along with four proposals developed by the County, were discussed at the annual County Supervisors Association (CSA) Legislative Summit held last month in Lake Havasu. The four proposals developed by Cochise County were unanimously approved by the County Supervisors in attendance. At the Regular Board meeting held on November 3, Chairman Searle asked that this Resolution be sent to our State Legislators with a request for them to sponsor and support our priorities.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Email and hard mail the letter with attached Resolution to our State Legislators as listed in the address line of the letter. Forward a copy to the County Supervisors Association.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Our State Legislators will not be aware of our county’s priorities for the upcoming Session and will not know we are seeking their sponsorship of our four proposals.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Return the original letter to Lisa Marra for processing. Keep one copy for the Clerk of the Board file.
