City Legislative Program Policy PURPOSE Because cities are a creation of the state, municipal rights and responsibilities are very often legislatively amended, changed or eliminated. It is the intent of the City Council of the City of Roseville to approach such issues in a manner which makes it very clear to all parties, what the position is of the Cit7 and how staff has been directed to respond to the proposals. SCOPE The scope of this policy is to include not only ad hoc issues, which may arise at the 1 1�' hour of a legislative, congressional or county session, but also issues which have been brought forth by groups representing cities such as the National League of Cities, League of Minnesota Cities, the Legislative Municipal Commission, and the Association of Metropolitan Cities. POLICY It is the policy of the City of Roseville to make clear to the taxpayers of Roseville and the community at- large what the position of the City Council is regarding legislative issues at County, State and National level. IMPLEMENTATION The City Council of the City of Roseville will meet at least once annually, in an open work session or in an official meeting, to discuss any pending or proposed legislative issues which may be at either the County, State, or National Level. The intent of the annual session is to outline the Council's official position of such issues and to instruct staff in their related work. In addition, the Council may meet at other times as may be required to respond to legislative or county issues which arise on a non-scheduled basis.
