File Number: 18-634 <br />efforts and initiatives that took place on behalf of the City. Now that the first year of the 2018 state <br />legislative session is adjourned, staff requests that the City Council review and adopt the <br />attached “2019 State Legislative Platform”, which provides a summary of the City’s proposed <br />policy priorities for the upcoming calendar year. This latter document was informed by the City <br />Council’s 2018 adopted legislative platform, and is updated for 2019 to reflect new and emerging <br />policy issues following input from City department heads and staff. <br />The purpose of the 2019 State Legislative Platform is to provide standing authority for the Mayor, <br />Council Members, City staff and the City’s advocates to take action on behalf of the City on <br />pending legislative matters when time constraints or other logistical hurdles preclude bringing <br />such matters before the City Council in advance. It also provides the City’s advocates a better <br />understanding of the Mayor and City Council’s policy priorities regarding a variety of legislative <br />and intergovernmental issues that could arise during the course of the year ahead. Related efforts <br />could include issuing letters on behalf of the City to the Governor or members of the State <br />Legislature in support or opposition to proposed legislation, organizing meetings with the <br />Governor’s Office, state or regional agencies, elected representatives or their staff, or otherwise <br />advancing the City’s interests on various matters that depend on or are impacted by the actions <br />of the State or regional agencies. Because the State legislative environment is inherently <br />dynamic, the City Council retains the authority to amend the 2019 platform during the year ahead <br />should unforeseen needs or issues arise. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />·2018 State Legislative Activities Summary <br />·2019 State Legislative Platform and Policy Guidelines <br />PREPARED BY: Eric Engelbart, Deputy City Manager, City Manager’s Office <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/11/2018
