2. 4. <br />CC Work Session <br />Meeting Date: <br />12/09/2025 <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Enhance City's communication through transparency and accountability. <br />Information <br />Title: <br />2026 Legislative Priorities <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The 2026 Minnesota Legislative Session starts on February 17, 2026 and ends on May 18, 2026. <br />Ramsey annually identifies items of interest to work with legislators on. This list generally identifies local items <br />that require specific legislation as well as state-wide policy level legislation. Attached is the 2025 priority list for <br />reference. Looking to 2026, the local priority list will be reduced to focus on funding towards a future <br />Mississippi River Crossing, expanding the Metro Mobility Service Area and continue to recognize an opportunity <br />driven closed landfill legislation to promote economic development. Regarding the state-wide policy level items, <br />these tend to be opportunity driven and are dependent on a number of other entities sharing similar concerns and <br />legislators willingness to introduce the topics. <br />This is an introductory discussion to gather any other items of interest the consensus of council would like added <br />to the list. A draft 2026 list and an accomplishments on the 2025 list will be brought to the January 13th work <br />session. Final adoption of the 2026 list is anticipated for the January 27th City Council meeting. <br />Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: <br />15 minutes. <br />Recommendation: <br />Provide consensus direction on removing or adding items to the list. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Provide consensus direction on removing or adding items to the list. <br />2025 Legislative Priority List <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 12/04/2025 03:26 PM <br />Form Started By: Brian Hagen Started On: 12/04/2025 02:56 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 12/04/2025 <br />
