This process has been previously <br />approved by the City Council by the adoption of Resolution 5043. <br /> <br />Staff have proposed a pilot process for the 2013 legislative session with the goal of <br />developing a more focused, efficient, and effective lobbying approach. The pilot process <br />will reduce the number of bills that are reviewed by the Intergovernmental Relations <br />Committee (IGR), and recommends that only a very few, high priority bills be actively <br />lobbied by the City. Consistent with past practice, all bills that the City takes a position on <br />will continue to be reviewed and approved by the IGR. An overview of the pilot process was <br />previously forwarded to the council by the City Manager for review and comment, and is <br />included here as Exhibit A of the resolution. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br />The City Council has the following options: <br />1. Adopt the resolution; <br />2. Amend the resolution; <br />3. Take no action. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br />The City Manager recommends adoption of the resolution. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br />I move to adopt a resolution concerning the 2013 Oregon Legislature and the City Council <br />Committee on Intergovernmental Relations Operating Agreements adopted by resolution <br />S:\CMO\2013 Council Agendas\M130211\S1302112C.doc <br /> <br />
