File Number: 16-663 <br />Next Steps <br />If authorized by Council, staff will include these summaries in the packet of materials for <br />delivery to Len Simon, the City’s federal advocate, who will attend the City Council Work <br />Session on January 9, 2017 to provide an update of what has occurred at the federal level <br />over the past year as well as his forecast of what may be expected in 2017. These materials <br />will also assist in any federal advocacy efforts carried out on behalf of the City by the Mayor, <br />members of the City Council, Mr. Simon, or City staff over the course of the year ahead. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />The costs for the City’s contract with Simon & Company for federal advocacy services, along <br />with anticipated costs for attendance at US Conference of Mayors and National League of <br />Cities events are already appropriated in the adopted City budget. Should any of the projects <br />identified in the federal platform ultimately receive federal grant assistance, some local <br />matching funds could be required. Such costs would be further evaluated and presented for <br />the City Council’s consideration as needed prior to acceptance of any grant awards. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />·2017 Federal Advocacy Platform <br />PREPARED BY: Eric Engelbart, Deputy City Manager, City Manager’s Office <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/21/2016
