As a <br />result, we are providing you with a copy of the committee's 1999 Legislative Policies. Included <br />with the policies are general staff recommendations as to whether the policy should be <br />maintained in its current language, eliminated, or amended. Several policies reflect suggested <br />staff changes which are generally technical modifications or clarifications to last year's policies. <br />We hope you will have the opportunity to review these existing policies. As we step through the <br />existing policies, staffwill highlight related legislative activity from the past session. <br /> <br />At the end of the policy document is a short list of new and emerging issue areas which the <br />committee may wish to discuss. Please come prepared with other ideas and topics for the <br />committee to discuss either at the July committee meeting or at a future policy committee <br />meeting. <br /> <br />We have also taken this opportunity to invite guest speakers on a variety of topics for the policy <br />committee meetings. We have traditionally invited speakers to give the city officials on the <br />committee another perspective on policy topics that are of concern to cities. We hope you find <br />these outside perspectives useful in helping draft legislative policies. . <br /> <br />We look forward to the committee meeting on Tuesday, July 13, 1999 at 9:30. If you have any <br />questions before the meeting or would like to visit with any member of the IGR staff, please feel <br />free to call us. <br /> <br />Enclosures: <br />Notice and agenda for first meeting <br />Minutes for September 1998 meeting <br />Committee roster <br />Improving Service Delivery Policies with staff comments <br />1999 Law Summaries <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />
