Once funding is secured, we will also work with the Army Corps to ensure that the report that the Corps will have to complete proceeds as quickly as possible. To be more specific regarding some of our yearly tasks if we were hired to begin in January, we have provided the following guideline of congressional appropriations - related activities we would perform on your behalf during a typical congressional cycle. However, what we actually do for Indian River County will be much more involved and in-depth. Also, remember that our work with Congress is really only half of what we do when working on Corps projects. We spend an equal amount of time working with closely with the Corps, from Headquarters down to District staff. Additionally, we will have to work with a broad range of federal agencies to properly implement your project. 1. January: Prepare supplemental materials to be used throughout the year to support our lobbying efforts. Also, meet with the staff of your congressional delegation to update them on the status of your project(s) and give them a heads - up as to what requests we expect will be made of them during the year. 2. February: Draft appropriations request letters and fill out appropriations request forms to be sent to your congressional delegation. 3. February and March: One or more elected officials or other local representative should come to Washington, D.C. for appointments we will set up with the congressional delegation and others. We will brief those who travel to Washington on what points need to be made as well as prepare written materials to be used during the visits. 7
