STUDY SESSION AGENDA
February 8, 2000 6:00 p.m.
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Clarifying local home rule interest and authority as it relates to the City's position on proposed
state legislation. (6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.)
Councilmembers and others have raised concerns regarding what may appear to be contradictory
positions relating to home rule authority and local control in regard to proposed state legislation.
The City is opposing a proposed firearm bill on the basis of local control, but supports state
growth management legislation that would mandate basic planning by cities and counties.
Staff will review a conceptual framework for defining the nature of the local interest in
a topic area, and then apply this framework to several different legislative issues,
including state growth management legislation.
Staff would like direction from Council on the following questions:
• Does the Council find it useful to evaluate the City's interest in legislative
proposals through this kind of conceptual framework?
• Does the Council agree with staffs recommendation regarding the aspects
of land use planning that are of mixed interest,as opposed to purely local
interest, and therefore may be appropriate for inclusion in state growth
management legislation?
3. Other Business.
4. Adjournment.

and activities and will make special communication arrangementsforpersons with disabilities. Please
