Legislative Committee


Sheri Greaves, Amalia Walton, Co-Chairs

This committee monitors the legislative and political environment on all levels, from the State to the local neighborhoods, for issues that might impact the floating homes community. Examples of issues relevant to FH community are DNR leases, environmental regulations, threats to water quality, transportation, and shoreline management. The Committee works with a lobbyist at the State level to ensure our awareness of important issues related to our community, as well as staying in touch with our elected officials to make sure our community is protected from potential threats.

Our Committee is gearing up for the next legislative session, which starts on the second Monday of January 2011. We have renewed the contract with our lobbyist, Nick Federici, and had a very productive meeting with him earlier this summer to plan for activities related to revisions to the Shoreline Master Plan regarding floating homes. We are not expecting to see anything concrete from the Department of Planning and Development until early next year. Please see related article by Amalia Walton, Chair of the SMP Task Force. Also, please remember to check this website for on-going information or breaking news.
