Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The 2020 Legislative Session for the State of Arizona begins on January 13, 2020. As our legislative delegation discuss desired changes to the Arizona Revised Statutes, they look to the municipalities they represent to provide policy and impact analyses of proposed language.
This study session item will provide the opportunity for Council to review and discuss legislative issues and strategies for the upcoming year. Many of the key issues and interests from prior years remain relevant. Doug Cole, Chief Operating Officer for Highground, Inc., the Town’s contract legislative consulting firm, will be on hand to discuss current trends and potential impacts to the Town, as well as provide input into the Town’s legislative strategy. The resulting agenda will incorporate the direction from Council, and provide a meaningful framework and direction for the upcoming legislative session.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Preserving state shared revenue, construction sales tax, and local service delivery decision making are key attributes to our long-term financial plan.
