DISCUSSION ITEMS

Meeting and Appointment of Representatives - Page 2

City Manager Manns introduced the item to Council. She stated the purpose of this work

session was to discuss the City's legislative priorities to be presented at the Pasco County

Legislative Delegation meeting which will be held on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. She then

highlighted the Florida League of Cities 2025 Legislative Platform. City Manager Manns then

stated that although the Florida League of Cities does an extraordinary job in preparing its

platform of priorities and policy positions there are several other bills which may be introduced

during the current session that would impact the city and therefore warrant watching. They are as

follows:

Advanced Wastewater Treatment

HB 1153 and SB 1304 narrowly failed last session and would have required the

Department of Environmental Protection in consultation with water management

districts and wastewater facilities to submit to the Governor and Legislature reports
