Title
Federal Legislative Agenda for 2003 (B)
Explanation
On January 15, 2002, Staff held meetings with the City's Legislative Consultant, Marilyn Berry Thompson, and the Government Relations Team to develop an annual federal agenda. The annual federal agenda serves as the City's instrument for measuring specific outcomes and achievements at the end of each year. The agenda also helps the City and members of the Florida Congressional Delegation to focus their energies on a very specific set of federal grant and legislative priorities and initiatives.
Staff is recommending three (3) initiatives, each with two components. The Community Development Initiative includes the Downtown Revitalization Project and the Gainesville Neighborhood Improvement Project; the Public Transportation Enhancement Initiative includes the Multimodal Transportation Center and the Public Transportation Acquisition Project; and the Public Safety Enhancement Initiative includes the Joint Communications Project and the Regional Emergency Preparedness Project.
Fiscal Note

Recommendation
