TITLE:
Discussion of 2026 State and Federal Legislative Priorities
DESIRED OUTCOME:
Provide staff with feedback and input on the 2026 draft state and federal legislative priorities.
Executive Summary:
The draft 2026 state and federal legislative priorities detailed in the attached documents represent an updated listing of last year's legislative priorities. City staff and lobbyists have made suggested updates to the legislative priorities based on the legislative landscape that we face in 2026, as well as accomplishments that have been achieved over the last year.
City staff and lobbyists are requesting Council input and direction on the draft state and federal legislative priorities. After this input is received, it will be incorporated, and a final version will be presented for Council approval at the December 16 Council Meeting. Once approved by the City Council, the 2026 legislative priorities will be used by City staff and lobbyists to guide their work throughout the year at both the state and federal levels.
