At their November 26th work session, the City Council reviewed the proposed legislative
priorities; based on this discussion the attached draft has been updated to reflect the following
revisions:

related I-35 issues, was broken into individual priorities with the Metro Orange Line
Extension being moved to one of the top five priorities
• Metro Mobility was moved to be included in the top five priorities
• Wording referencing the impacts on underage drinking and drunk driving was added
to Expansion of Wine and Strong Beer Sales in Grocery/C- Stores
• The first sentence in Infrastructure fees was revised to replace the word “authorize”
with the word “allow”
• The paragraph for Intoxicating Liquor – On Sale License was revised and shortened to be
more concise
• The list of deleted items at the end of the document was removed
• Table of contents was updated to reflect the revisions
The next steps in finalizing the priorities is to hold a joint work session on December 10th with
our local and state legislators, followed by adoption of the priorities at the December 17th City
