The City coordinates an intergovernmental relations program focused on protecting the interests of our community and identifying resources available to enhance City services and programs. The City Council and staff work closely with our legislative advocates in Washington, D.C. and Phoenix, as well as with the League of Arizona Cities and Towns to influence policy decisions that affect local control and local funding.
2023 Legislative Priorities
The 2023 Legislative Priorities provide a framework for the City of Flagstaff's intergovernmental relations program. Adopted annually, the City's Legislative Priorities form the foundation of a focused advocacy strategy and serve as a reference guide for legislative positions and objectives that provide direction for the City Council and staff throughout the year.
Lobbying Services
The City contracts lobbyist services to advocate and monitor specific legislation impacting to the City's interest and established priorities. Our contracted lobbyists provide ongoing communication with the City and receive direction from the City regarding important bills, amendments and legislative developments. The City contracts with Elevated Advocacy, LLC for state lobbying services and and Nexxus Consulting, LLC for federal lobbying services.
