merican voters sent a mixed mes-
sage in November that mirrored
the themes of NLC's Election '96
effort -- it's time to focus on
pulling Americans together rather
than fanning the flames of division. It's time to
--~abtish bipartisan and nonpartisan coalitions
olving elected leaders from all levels of gov-
ernment rather than letting party politics inter-
fere with establishing sound public policies.
As 1996 draws to a close, President Clinton
and the 105th Congress will be preparing their
agendas and establishing their leadership teams
to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.
The issues that confront our national leaders
will have direct consequences at the local level.
From key decisions about whether to rewrite the
nation's highway and public transportation pro-
grams to the role of cities and towns in deregu-
lating the nation's electric businesses to how to
sustain the drive toward a balanced federal bud-
get, local leaders must be well-informed and
directly involved in decision making.
The 1997 Congressional City Conference in
Washington, DC will provide an opportunity
to:
° Learn about the key issues that will be on the
national agenda and how those will affect
your conmaunity
· Participate in shaping NLC's positions on
federal issues that will be the top priorities
'or policy development and advocacy in the
coming year
· Hear from national leaders who will share
their vision for the coming year and beyond
-- a vision that will shape America's
direction for the 21 st century
· Meet with your Congressional delegation to
discuss local priorities for national action
Come to Washington, March 8 - 11 for
the Congressional City Conference to
listen, to learn, and to make a difference.
LEARN
ABOUT NATIONAL
ISSUES
~ CCC '97 will offer
general sessions, legislative work-
shops, state league caucuses, and
roundtab~e discussions on Capitol Hill
to provide you with the information
you need to assess local impacts.
Leaders from both Congress and the
Administration will report on their
action plans on issues such as electric
deregulation, entitlement reform,
housing and community development,
natural disasters, public safety, and
transportation ~just to name a few.
WEIGH IN ON
LOCAL PRIORITIES
FOR NATIONAl.
ACTION
~ Local leaders must
have a say in how federal priorities are
shaped -- particularly when those
priorities directly affect local budgets,
local responsibilities, and local
authority.
The workshops, roundtable discus-
sions, and Congressional meetings
will give you a chance to help national
leaders understand local perspectives
and to shape NLC's voice in 1997.
The NLC Board of Directors wilt
adopt a 1997 Action Agenda on
Saturday, March 8, which will define
NLC's national priorities for the year.
NLC's policy committees will also
meet in Washington to develop their
agenda on Ions ._rm national policy
issues that will serve as the basis for
NLC's continuing work on behalf of
cities and towns.
MEET
WITH NATIONAL
LEADERS
~ This is your chance to
be part of a large local presence in
Washington when agendas are being
set that will affect the future of your
community. At CCC '97, NLC will
organize its voice to ensure a municipal
perspective in national discussions and
to increase national awareness of
municipal issues. In addition to the
sessions which will be held at the
Washington Hilton and Towers on
March 9 .md 10, CCC '97 will feature
roundtaL ~ discussions on Capitol Hill
on Tuesday, March 11. Legislative
leaders will meet with local officials
during those meetings to talk about
local priorities for national action and
local perspectives on national issues.
This is the one day in 1997 when
thousands of local officials from cities
and towns across the country can
carry one message to Congress. You
can ensure that your voice is heard
and that your city is represented by
coming to CCC '97.
NETWORK WITH
COLLEAGUES
~ CCC '97 will also offer
opportunities to connect with local
officials from throughout the country
to share ideas and work together on
behalf of your constituents. The pro-
gram will include pre-conference
workshops on critical leadership
issues, constituency group events,
state municipal league meetings, and
information networking sessions.
Come to CCC '97 to make the
connections that will make a differ-
ence in 1997.
CCC'97 will feature policy and leg-
islative sessions, workshops, and
roundtables on Capitol Hill with
Congressional leaders to focus on the
key issues the President and Congress
will grapple with next year that will
affect your city. These sessions are
designed not only to provide you with
insights about where the
Administration and Congress are with
regard to issues important to you and
your citizens, but also to ensure that
you have a direct opportunity to ask
questions and make your views and
concerns known.
Some of the key issues which will
be addressed during the conference
include:
ELECTRIC
DEREGULATION
First, Congress deregulated local
phones, long distance phone service,
satellite television, and cable televi-
sion X%w, the President and
Co. , and the states are focusing
on deregulating electridty. What do
changing marketplaces and regulatory
approaches mean to these services and
more specifically what will the impacts
be for cities and towns? Not everyone
will be a winner. The changes state
le~slatures and Congress will consider
could force rating downgrades, losses
in investor-owned utility revenues to
city hall, or large rate increases to
some of your citizens. What has hap-
pened and what will happen to the
classic old structures of many such
"utility-like" services in the new world
of deregulation and new technology
where state, federal, and judicial
worlds collide with unprecedented
lobbying expenditures and fast grow-
ing new industries? Will your city
and its citizens be winners or losers?
TAXING CITIES
Federal taxes will be a hot issue in
1997. Should Congress pull the old
federal income tax out by its roots and
replace it? Should Congress adopt
sweeping tax cuts financed by deep
cuts in priority municipal programs?
Or ' ld the President and Congress
agn new federal tax expenditures?
What would changes to the federal tax
structure mean to local taxes and rev-
enues? What offsetting federal spend-
lng cuts would the federal government
make? What might happen to our
municipal tax-exempt bonds, to feder-
al highway and airport taxes, and to
the deductibility of state and local
taxes? This will be a truth or conse-
quences session for local leaders.
THE ENVIRONMENT
After years of efforts by city leaders,
Congress and the President enacted
Safe Drinking Water mandate relief
for cities in 1996. In 1997, Congress
and the President are likely to turn to
action on Clean Water and Supeffund.
Key players from Congress and the
Administration will explore what the
main issues will be, what the potential
impacts might be on cities and towns,
and respond to your questions.
CITIES, HOUSING
AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
With Congress and the President set
to act on the nation's housing and
community development programs,
Congressional and Administration
experts will examine the legislative
options for 1997 and what those
options might mean for city leaders.
Some have proposed consolidating the
Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) program with the
HOME state and local housing block
grant program. Others have discussed
cutting funds and block granting pub-
lic and assisted housing funds to
states. What is likely to happen?
What are the potential consequences
for cities?
NATURAL
DISASTERS
The shock of recent, catastrophic loss-
es from earthquakes, hurricanes, forest
fires, and floods around the nation has
prompted Congress to reconsider
funding for emergency relief, just as
homeowners' insurance providers
have limited or curtailed sales in disas-
ter-prone areas, virtually halting
ISTEA
REAUTHORIZATION
The Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA) expires in 1997, and the
President and Congress must act on
this key law to determine the future
federal role for highway and transit
funding in cities across the nation.
This landmark legislation gave local
governments decision-making author-
ity regarding national transportation
funds. Find out how this law wilt be
rewritten over the upcoming year.
Hear from members of Congress who
support the preservation of ISTEA
and from those who believe that state
governments should have greater
power in national transportation poli-
cy. Ask questions to the key policy
players about potential impacts on
your city.
PUBLIC SAFETY
With growing concern about
increased drug use and juvenile crime,
' what actions will the federal govern-
ment take in 1997 to address local
anti-crime and violence problems?
This session will feature experts from
the U.S. Justice Department and the
Congress to discuss federal legislative
initiatives and options, and what they
might mean for cities and local lead-
ers. Will the President and Congress
retain the public safety block grant
program? What new federal initia-
tives might be considered to assist
cities in confronting drugs and gangs?
SPECIAL DISTRICTS -
BARRIERS TO
MUNICIPAL GROWTH?
A water district or other special service
district with a federal loan can stand in
the way of your community's growth.
A number of cities and towns have
found that such districts can prohibit a
city from providing full municipal ser-
vices in areas annexed to a cit3' and
home sales. What will the (~ do so with the support and encour-
Administration propose? What will [~) agement of the federal government.
Congress do to address compensa- d~b Some cities and towns believe that
tion and loss for damage to public llll cash-rich districts have gone into
property and infrastructure, as _~ debt with federal loans primarily
wall as increasing claims from ~ to block a city from providing
o ero of private property. /Ifil [ I ~x~x~ municipal utilit3 or other ser-
, vices in newly annexed
about this federal program and the
prospects of changing it.
SPECTRUM FOR
PUBLIC SAFETY
Beth thc President and Congress are
certain to return to the issue of spec-
trum in 1997, an issue involving who
will have access to this finite, public
medium critical to municipal public
safety telecommunications. In 1996,
the President and Congress agreed to
the sale of $2.9 billion of spectrum to
the private sector, and the Presidential
candidates proposed the sale of an
additional $40 billion in 1997. In
September 1996, the Public Safety
Wireless Advisory Committee
(PSWAC), composed of federal, state,
and local public safety leaders and the
private sector, issued a report, as
directed by the President and
Congress, stating that the current
spectrum allocation is insufficient to
meet today's municipal emergency
response, police; fire, emergency res-
cue. and other local public safety
needs. This session will provide an
opportunity to bear from key federal
leaders about the actions they plan to
take to respond to this report and what
that response might mean to your
police, fire, and emergency response
departments.
ENTITLEMENTS
AND CITIES
Early in 1997, the President will send
the new Congress a proposal to bal-
ance the federal budget over the next
six years. That budget is almost cer-
tain to propose cuts in key city pro-
grams, but how much and where?
Will the proposal call for the budget
to be balanced on the backs of local
services and taxes, and how will the
President deal with the sacred cows of
federal entitlement spending, like
Medicare and Social Security? Will
they be on the table? And how will
Congress react? Could there be
another shutdown of the federal gov-
ernment? What will be the issues and
consequences for local budgets?
Make yom'
voice heard
areas. Attend this meeting
and hear from federal and
today!
