The MCC is working on transportation issues for Louisville <br />and all the partners. Louisville could not afford to pay for both the federal and state <br />lobbyists by themselves. <br />Council member Loo recognized quiet zones are more of a federal issues but inquired if <br />it could also be addressed at the state level. Deputy City Manager Balser stated it was <br />more at the federal level, but all the communities are concerned and there are <br />discussions going on in the state about how to coordinate. She noted this is more <br />about dollars and participating in those discussions so the priorities can be funded. <br />Mayor Muckle stated there cannot be involvement too early. If the project is not on the <br />lists early, you risk not acquiring funding. Deputy City Manager Balser stated Louisville <br />will pay about same price for the federal and state lobbyist combined in 2016 as was <br />paid previously for the federal lobbyist alone, as there are more members. This also <br />allows for a larger coalition and voice at both the federal and state level. <br />MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve Resolution No. 91, Series 2015, seconded <br />by Council member Loo. All were in favor. <br />2016 CITY COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS <br />The City Council met on December 7th & 8th to interview applicants to fill vacancies of <br />the 2016 City's boards and commissions.
