For the City, the 2026 Legislative Program was presented to the Mayor and Council on November 4 and November 18, 2025, with the November 4 session serving as a work session review and the November 18 session as a public hearing; it includes a policy statement supporting state funding for affordable housing. The School Board's 2026 State and Federal Legislative Program was approved unanimously on January 5, 2026. Development of the City's 2027 Legislative Program kicked off at a City Council work session on September 1, 2026, where staff emphasized the session was for review and orientation only — no positions or final decisions were sought.

Per the transcript, a multi-step process is planned through the fall and winter of 2026, culminating in a public hearing (scheduled for November 10, 2026), a December 1, 2026 work session discussion, and final Council consideration anticipated at the December 8, 2026 regular meeting.
