Gary DATE December 14, 1982 FILE City Manager � L�fT' FP"" lark Me ill Assistant to the City Manager for Intergovernmental Affairs Re 1982 Legislative Accomplishmen and 1983 Legislative Objectives REFLRE`.::ES ENCLOSURES 4 Enclosures The attached list of 1982 Legislative Accomplishments provides a general view of the City's legislative effort during the past year. These results can be attributed to a large degree, to the efforts of the City's legislative liaison, Rick Sisser, who constantly oversees the legislative process in Tallahassee to protect the City's interests. The items on this list, along with many other laws passed that may affect the City, are being distributed to the department directors and other cognizant City officials for their review. Also attached for review and comment, is a list of 1983 Legislative Objectives. These. -are not listed in any priority and should be considered for discussion purposes only. Each year the Commission targets five or six major issues to be pursued on a priority basis. This list includes some Commission priorities not passed in the 1982 legislative session. Others may, of course, be added. Once the Commission has determined their legislative priorities, the remaining issues should become part of a legislative policy to be used as an administrative guide in representing Miami's legislative interests in Tallahassee. In order to develop and administratively support this policy, a legislative task force will be formed. This task force will be comprised of those department directors andlor their representatives that are most knowledgeable of the legislative process and who can provide supportive information to our legislative liaison. I am also including a list of the Dade Legislative Delegation and their aides, and a schedule of their meetings leading up to the legislative session beginning in April. CM/mmm Enc is .
