| COMMISSION MEETING DATE: 1/17/2017 |
| REQUESTED ACTION BY COMMISSION: Discuss and approve the City of Boynton Beach Legislative Priority List for the 2017 State of Florida Legislative Session - Mat Forrest |
| EXPLANATION OF REQUEST: Approving a priority list for the 2017 Legislative Session provides our lobbyist, Ballard Partners, Inc., the information needed to successfully promote the interests of the City Commission for the overall benefit of the citizens and businesses of the City of Boynton Beach. |
| HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES? To be determined. Legislation coming from the 2017 Legislative session has the potential to either help or harm city operations and home rule authority. This makes it important for the City Commission to provide our lobbyist with their requirements before the beginning of session. |
| FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time. |
| ALTERNATIVES: Not approving a Legislative Priority List will hinder the ability of our lobbyist to successfully represent the City of Boynton Beach in the fast paced Legislative Session. |
