The City has actively monitored potential legislation considered by the Texas Legislature for years.
In 2006, the City Manager expanded the program with the creation of the Office of Intergovernmental Relations (IGR). A large part of the IGR Office’s mission is to engage in the legislative process to help protect and enhance the City’s ability to: 1) provide quality services and programs citizens depend on, and 2) ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
