GUIDING PRINCIPLES <br />I. PRESERVE LOCAL CONTROL <br />Preserve and protect the city's charter <br />powers, duties, and prerogatives to <br />enact legislation and policy direction <br />concerning local affairs and to oppose <br />legislation that preempts local <br />authority. <br />III. SUPPORT FUNDING <br />OPPORTUNITIES <br />Support opportunities that allow the <br />city to compete for its fair share of <br />regional, state, and federal funding. <br />Opportunities include competitive <br />grants and dedicated funding streams <br />at the regional, state, and federal levels <br />that allow the city to maximize local <br />revenues, offset and leverage capital <br />expenditures, and maintain city goals <br />and standards. <br />Ih PROMOTE FISCAL STABILITY <br />Support measures that promote fiscal <br />stability, predictability, and financial <br />independence. Support measures that <br />preserve the city's revenue base and <br />local control over local government <br />budgeting. Oppose measures that shift <br />local control and funds to the; county;' <br />state, or federal governments without <br />offsetting benefits. <br />IV. REGIONAL COLLABORATION <br />AND COOPERATION <br />Leverage the city's ability to preserve <br />local control, promote fiscal stability, <br />and support funding opportunities <br />through collaboration with <br />municipalities, local government <br />agencies, special districts, regional <br />govern nent agencies / organizations, <br />and local, state, and federal elected <br />representatives. <br />
