Each year, the Mayor and City Commission adopt the City’s State Agenda which includes funding and legislative priorities that will be pursued by the City’s representatives in Tallahassee.  Then, throughout the rest of the year, additional priorities are presented by the Mayor and Commissioners for full Commission approval; the new priorities are added to the City’s Agenda and provided to the City’s state consultants.

It is important that the City of Miami Beach works with its representatives in Tallahassee.  This allows the City to secure funding for projects, advocate for changes to legislation and work with state agencies on important issues.  It is imperative that the City’s legislative consultants are aware of and have a list of City priorities.  The priorities included in this agenda item will continue to evolve as more items are added.
