Title
Federal Lobbying Work Plan
end
Background
Attached is the 2022 Blaine Federal Agenda prepared by the City’s federal lobbying firm, The Ferguson Group. This document is still being reviewed by staff and can be amended as needed. Our largest priority is to secure funding for the TH65 project. The rest of the document reflects discussions with staff, identifying areas where advocacy should be ongoing and/or funding sources should be actively monitored and identified.
TFG and staff have a biweekly online meeting to discuss recent news and activities. In addition, the TFG staff sends regular updates via e-mail.
As with the state lobbying work plan, this will not be adopted formally; rather, council will be asked to indicate consensus that the work plan meets their expectations for the federal lobbying effort.
Question for Council
Staff would like feedback and questions from Council about the federal agenda.
Is City Council comfortable with the Blaine Federal Agenda as presented by the Ferguson Group?
