                     Staff is requesting that this item be tabled indefinitely.

                     The item was discussed in a City Council Work Session on April 25, 2016 and all feedback was incorporated into the document where possible.

                     The Legislative agenda focuses on areas in the best interest of McKinney’s citizens and businesses, including Local Control, Economic Development, Education & Workforce, Transportation, Taxes & Spending, and Water.
