Action Taken:

PowerPoint presentation on the City of
Mayor Phil Gordon inquired about the extent to which further state funding cuts would affect City finances.
City Manager Frank Fairbanks indicated additional state cuts would compound the City’s financial challenges, possibly causing reductions to essential services such as public safety.
Mayor Gordon affirmed the importance of neighborhoods, labor, and other community organizations in working with the state to prevent additional funding cuts.
Ms. Peters noted state financial sweeps of certain funds have reduced funding to a number of City services. She stated the Arizona League of Cities and Towns and other organizations are working to stop the state from taking more money out of these funds.
Councilman Mattox asked whether this issue could be added to the existing legal claim made against the state by the Arizona League of Cities and Towns.
Ms. Peters indicated the issue could be added to the suit, but legal advisors have suggested the suit remain as simple as possible.
Vice Mayor Neely noted any state reduction of Local Transportation Assistance Fund (LTAF) money would adversely affect transit services. She suggested staff contact constituents that had previously expressed concern about theses services to work with the state on the issue.
Government Relations staff members Tom Remes and John Wayne Gonzalez detailed a number of specific issues staff would be addressing at the Legislature, including the 911 Fund, metal theft, graffiti vandalism, and economic development.
Vice Mayor Neely discussed issues related to private development and impact fees, suggesting staff work with the State Land Department to resolve the matter.
Councilman Stanton asked staff to monitor developments in the Legislature on the payday loan industry.
Mayor Gordon asked staff to brief the state Speaker of the House on the City’s budget process.

Council approval later this year. Once modified
and approved by the City Council, the agenda will define the City’s federal

level. The current national economic and
political environment presents significant new challenges and opportunities for
the City; success in achieving our federal goals is more important than ever

Back-up included in Council packet/City Clerk's Office.
Action Taken:
Government Relations Director Karen Peters provided a PowerPoint presentation on the City’s proposed federal legislative agenda. She outlined the guiding principles behind the agenda and noted pending economic stimulus proposals in Congress.

Ms. Peters stated local governments are already lobbying the federal government for such funding, noting the City has nearly $2 billion in planned infrastructure projects.
Councilman Johnson expressed support for these proposals and affirmed the need for the City, as the fifth largest city in the nation, to receive a proportionate share of federal funding.
Mayor Gordon opened the floor for resident comments.
Joan Rattay expressed opposition to guest worker and pathway to citizenship programs for undocumented immigrants.
Kathryn Kobor stated opposition to amnesty and pathway to citizenship programs for undocumented immimigrants.
