Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> AGENDA ITEM – 3B <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: August 12, 2024 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> <br />FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Legislative Priorities <br /> <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> N/A N/A N/A <br /> <br />Council Should Consider <br /> <br />Council should provide direction on its legislative priorities for 2025 and beyond. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />At a previous meeting, the City Council requested to discuss legislative priorities in August. This <br />is in addition to a previously agreed-upon schedule where the Council begins to discuss <br />legislative priorities in January. Attachment A is the most recent CIP summary that lists <br />upcoming capital projects. In the past, the Council has selected projects from the CIP that it felt <br />were good candidates for State funding. Recently, the Council has sought money for sewer <br />forcemain work and the Old Highway 10 Trail project. Due to the lack of a bonding bill this <br />year, neither were successful. However, we were recently notified that the Old Highway 10 Trail <br />project was awarded money from the Met Council. The Public Works Director can provide a <br />verbal update on this if requested. <br /> <br />Should the Council select projects it wants to pursue for future State funding, it should discuss <br />how it wants to move forward. Below is what was previously agreed upon should the Council <br />want to mirror a similar process. It should be noted that it is unclear if there will be a bonding <br />bill next year. It is not a typical bonding year, but the last number of years have been atypical for <br />State bonding projects. <br /> <br />• January/February 2025: Council discusses legislative priorities and designates the <br />Mayor and a Councilmember to work with Staff on preparing items for funding requests <br />and to be the Council point people for the requests. The Council may want to have <br />preliminary discussions with its legislators in early 2025, too. <br />• March 2025: Staff works with designated Councilmembers on preparing draft requests. <br />
