City of Fairfax 2025 Legislative Program

Summary

The City of Fairfax 2025 Legislative Program is the annual package of state-level legislative priorities that the City submits to its General Assembly delegation. The program is built through a multi-step process involving staff, Council, and the City's legislative delegation. A public hearing was held on November 12, 2024, at which no Council action was taken and two members of the public spoke in support; staff (represented by Assistant City Manager Melanie Zip) explained that the hearing was solely to gather feedback. On December 3, 2024, the Council held a work session with Senator Saddam Salim and Delegate David Bulova to discuss the final proposed program, again without formal action. The program was subsequently placed on the December 10, 2024 Council consent agenda as item 7G, where it was included in a motion to approve consent agenda items 7A through 7H.
