INFORMATION: | |||||
The City's outreach is focused entirely on education and does not advocate a position on the propositions. The City is working closely with the Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (NAIPTA) to combine our educational outreach efforts as much as possible. This joint coordination is an effective strategy which will enhance and streamline presentations and outreach. Attached you will find:

Each year, the League of Arizona Cities and Towns Resolutions Committee is responsible for recommending items for inclusion in the League’s legislative program based upon a review of the Resolutions submitted by Arizona's cities and towns (see attachment 1). The adopted Resolutions are outlined in the annual Municipal Policy Statement which serves as the principal guide for the League's legislative program for the upcoming session.

The Resolutions Committee will meet on Tuesday, August 21, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. as the first item of business at the League Annual Conference. The actions of the full Resolutions Committee will be formally adopted at the League’s Annual Business Meeting on Thursday August 23, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. Though Mayor Evans will represent the City of Flagstaff and its single vote, all members of the City Council are invited to attend the meeting.
