Municipal Policy Statement Web Final V2.Ai 2013 MUNICIPAL POLICY STATEMENT CORE PRINCIPLES The League of Arizona Cities and Towns, a voluntary association of the 91 incorporated municipalities in Arizona, is governed by two core principles: to protect shared revenues and promote local decision-making authority. LOCAL CONTROL Decentralized government at the local level represents a fundamental principle of American democracy, recognizing that when it comes to community governance, one size does not fit all. The League calls upon the Legislature to respect the authority of cities and towns to govern their communities in the best interests of their residents. During the 51st Legislature, the League will endorse legislation that supports and sustains the principle of local control and reject legislation that conflicts with the autonomy of cities and towns. Specifically, the League supports legislation that will restore municipal authority to: • Regulate the sale and use of consumer fireworks; and • Determine the method, manner and timing of local elections. BUDGETARY RESOURCES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY The League is determined to safeguard the economic resources cities and towns require to ensure safety and provide high- quality services for their residents. To that end, the League calls upon the Legislature to: • Enact a budget that maintains existing historical formulas for the distribution of state-collected shared revenue to local governments; • Discontinue diversions of Highway User Revenue Fund monies to fund the operations of state agencies (see figure 1); and • Remove the financial burden from municipalities regarding the construction of infrastructure for large manufacturing facilities. Cities and towns are actively exploring new ways to promote business growth and expand the tools available to municipalities for this purpose. In partnership with the state, the League supports legislation to: • Authorize the formation of Revenue Allocation Districts; • Improve Arizona’s ports of entry with Mexico (see figure 2); • Support the long-term retention of Arizona’s military installations (see figure 3); and • Modify the pension statutes related to the Alternate Contribution Rate for the Arizona State Retirement System. TOURISM AND NATURAL RESOURCES Recognizing the many benefits provided by Arizona’s extraordinary open spaces, cities and towns support the efforts of the tourism industry and are committed to the preservation of our natural resources. The League urges the passage of legislation to: • Promote tourism as an economic engine; • Fully fund state parks and work with cities and towns to develop mechanisms for the operation of select parks under long term leases; and • Improve forest health and reduce wildfire threats. REGULATORY AND PROCESS REFORM Cities and towns continue to seek ways to improve and streamline their regulatory, licensing and acquisition processes to promote cost effectiveness and efficient service delivery. Therefore, the League will: Oppose any regulatory reform proposal that does not promote greater efficiency, effect significant cost savings or improve existing regulatory frameworks for the mutual benefit of stakeholders; • Support changes to regulatory reform legislation enacted in 2011 in order to improve municipal licensing and permitting processes; and • Endorse legislation to authorize expanded municipal use of Alternative Project Delivery Methods with respect to construction contracts. QUALITY COMMUNITIES The League supports legislation to help cities improve communities and enhance the quality of life for their residents. The League recommends legislation to: • Subject graffiti vandals to increased accountability; • Promote more flexibility in the annexation of county islands; and • Empower municipalities to engage in housing assistance efforts without existing regulatory burdens.

  • End of Session Report
    2014 End of Session Report ARIZONA PEST PROFESSIONALS ORGANIZATION Prepared by: Capitol Consulting, LLC 818 N. 1st Street Phoenix, AZ 85004 www.azcapitolconsulting.com P a g e | 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dear AZPPO Members: Sine Die! On April 24, 2014, the 51st Arizona Legislature adjourned sine die at 1:46 AM after 101 days in session. By rule a session can last 100 days with provisions in place for extending it. As you recall, those provisions were put to the test last year with the uncomfortably long 151-day session. The 51st Legislature, 2nd Regular Session officially commenced January 13, 2014. A total of 1,205 bills were introduced by the legislature and of those, 276 have been signed by Governor Janice K. Brewer. The session began as usual with the governor announcing policy priorities for the year during the State of the State address. The governor’s priorities were perhaps met with a little more attentiveness from the legislature after a rocky end to the 2013 session. As you may recall part of the Governor’s ambitious 2013 agenda meant crossing political boundaries at the expense of the most conservative within the state’s GOP. In 2013, the governor muscled her way to pass the Medicaid expansion. After weeks of stalled budget negotiations, the Governor called a Special Legislative Session in an effort to bypass House and Senate leadership and call Medicaid to question. The move sparked rumors of a legislative coup and drove a wedge straight through the Republican caucus, dividing the moderate and conservative members. During her final State of the State address in January, Governor Brewer focused on two priorities including a complete overhaul of the state’s defunct child protective services and a proposal to create new incentives for manufactures to set up shop in Arizona.
