The Department of Intergovernmental Fiscal Liaison, created in 1966, is an eleven
person board appointed by the Mayor and Common Council, charged with lobbying for
city government at the local, county, regional, state, and federal levels. It seeks
financial resources for the city, such as special revenues, grants and other
financial aid, and property tax relief and legislative favor. It is now known as the
Intergovernmental Relations Division (IRD) and is under the Department of
Administration.
