Legislative Agenda: The Council discussed briefly some of the legislative issues before the
State Legislature as it relates to cities. Council member Senn indicated that as this has been a
time of rapid change, that perhaps the Council should take the most current AMM bill tracking
report and review it and if any Council member had an issue with any of these items, they could
bring it back up at a future work session. The consensus of the group was in agreement and the
discussion on this topic ended.
