Title
Adopt 2015 Legislative Platform
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
Review and amend the attached draft 2015 City of Ramsey Legislative Platform.
Background:
Annually, the City of Ramsey drafts and adopts a Legislative Platform. This document includes a list of Legislative priorities specifically related to the City of Ramsey. Upon adoption by the City Council, Ramsey's Legislative Platform will be forwarded to our County, State and Federal elected officials. Additionally, this document will be used internally by Staff as a supplemental workplan for 2014.
In 2014, the Council updated the format/layout of the City's Legislative Platform. A similar format/layout is being proposed for the City's 2015 Legislative Platform.
Case Background:
This case (legislative platform) was reviewed by the City Council on December 09, 2014. A request was made to remove "Smoking Ban Ordinances" and "Regulation of Massage Therapists" from the draft platform. Both items have been removed from the attached platform. Generally speaking, the City Council was in favor of adopting the 2015 legislative platform as proposed. The City Council was in favor of reducing the list of initiatives as much as possible--in order to concentrate resources and maximize effectiveness.
