legislative session; and,

initiatives; and
WHEREAS, HB 1406 requires a local legislative authority to declare its intent to
enact the provisions of HB 1406 within 6 months of its July 28, 2019 effective date by
means of a resolution adopted by its city council; and
WHEREAS, a resolution adopted by a local legislative authority is not a binding

opportunity provided by the State Legislature and that it provides a funding source that
