All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Item #6 – Council Member King stated that he was wondering about the small cities and what they share <br />in common and what do we gain from them versus the metro cities. Are we paying for extra lobbying for <br />the same thing, is this basically all this is? Administrator Statz stated both are lobbyist groups. We are <br />sharing the cost of lobbyist group. Both groups are affiliated with League and they know what they are <br />both up to so they do overlap their efforts. He feels that this is a nice separation. Council Member King <br />stated most things that the small cities have are outside of MUSA area. How many small cities do we <br />have in here? He wanted to know what they are going to give us because we are inside the MUSA District <br />where most of them are outside. Administrator Statz stated this is why we have not been a member before. <br />The number 1 thing he stated is local government aid, but more specifically, state aid for streets. They <br />lobbied for us to get some funding through that program. Council Member King stated that being that we <br />are inside MUSA, we do not receive extra benefits or discriminate against because of the size of our <br />community because we are in this district. Administrator Statz stated often its either MUSA or population <br />not the combination of the two in most policies. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member King, seconded by Council Member Lakso to Approve Consent <br />Agenda Item #6 as Presented.
