After the proposed legislative concepts have been reviewed and approved by the full City <br />Council, legislative concepts that have been approved are presented to the Legislature for <br />drafting. The bill, as introduced, is then presented to the IGR Committee under the regular bill <br />review process. <br />10. Process for Review and Prioritization of Legislation <br />The Legislative session is relatively short and as a result, bills can move quickly through the <br />legislative process. Regardless, the City will maintain a neutral position on any bills not yet <br />reviewed by City staff and acted upon by the IGR Committee. <br />Review by City staff: <br />Once the bills are introduced, they are assigned by an IGR staff person to the appropriate <br />LC for review. <br />Legislative Coordinators (LCs) in the appropriate City department analyze all introduced <br />bills that are of interest to or may affect the City. LC staff is determined by each <br />Department. <br />LC staff turnaround for review and analysis of a bill is expected to be within 10 working <br />days of the assignment of a bill unless the movement of a bill warrants a faster turn- <br />around. In those cases, IGR staff will contact the LC and arrange for a faster review. <br />If a bill addresses one or more of the policies presented in the Legislative Policies for that <br />session, the particular policy is noted in the LC staff’s analysis of the bill. <br />LC staff will relay both the pros and cons of a bill in their comments as well as any <br />amendments that would make the bill more favorable. <br />LC will assign each bill a priority and a recommendation. <br />Legislative advocacy is done on the basis of a priority and recommendation system. LC staff <br />recommends a “support,” “oppose,” “neutral,” “monitor,” or “drop” recommendation for all <br />reviewed bills. LC staff also recommends a priority of 1, 2, or 3 on all reviewed bills. <br />The three priority assignments for legislative bills are as follows: <br />PRIORITY ONE BILLS – <br />The issues addressed by the bill areidentified in the City’s <br />Legislative Policies document. The bill would have a significant impact on City operations, <br />services, or finances in such ways as to fundamentally impact department administration, <br />organization, personnel, allocation of City resources, or local decision-making, either negatively <br />or positively. The issues addressed by the bill are of significant interest to the City even if they <br />do not directly impact the operations, services, or finances of the City. <br />Lobby Resource Allocation: Both IGR staff in Salem work on the bill, with a high support level <br />from the legislative coordinator(s) assigned to the bill. The Mayor and/or Council members may <br />testify before committees, possibly with both IGR staff and/or a legislative coordinator. IGR <br />staff contacts all or close to all members of all committees the bill is assigned to. Depending on <br />topic and recommendation, IGR staff will also contact as many legislators as possible prior to <br />public hearings or work sessions. In the event of a floor vote, IGR staff contacts as many <br />legislators as is possible in the 2-5 day period between committee passage and the floor vote. <br />Handouts would be placed in the Capitol mailboxes of all legislators prior to a floor vote. <br />Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011 <br />Page 14 of 19 <br /> <br />
