The financial cost of not implementing the legislation:
The City Council has adopted a set of legislative priorities it wishes to be addressed in the 1 1 1 th Congress.
Failure to employ assistance in Washington DC to bring these priorities before Congress and the
Administration will make it very difficult to achieve the Council's goals.
Estimate the cost to the City if the legislation is not implemented, including the potential conflicts with
regulatory requirements, cost avoidance, or otherpotential costs.
