Title
Approve the 2021 State Legislative Agenda.
Body
SUMMARY:
Each year, the City submits a list of legislative priorities for consideration by the state legislature during their annual 60-day session in Tallahassee. The City’s legislative liaison works closely with city staff and the City’s lobbying team in Tallahassee to draft a package that is beneficial to Clearwater, and to lobby that package locally and in Tallahassee. Preparation of the package involves determining areas of need, researching funding availability, identifying needed legislation, monitoring and evaluating current legislative issues.
