CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />APR 2 2 2019 <br />CITY CLERK'S OFFICE <br />Local Government Working Group To <br />Advise MTC, ABAG on Housing Legislation <br />612 <br />Clayton Vice Mayor Julie Pierce Named to Lead Group <br />Thursday, March 28, 2019 <br />Contact: <br />John Goodwin; MTC (415) 778-5262 <br />Rebecca Long, MTC, (415) 778-5289 <br />The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) this week approved the <br />appointment of the first slate of local government officials to the newly -formed <br />Housing Legislative Working Group, which will advise both MTC's Legislation <br />Committee and the Association of Bay Area Governments' Legislation <br />Committee on housing -related bills pending in the state Legislature. The working <br />group, which will include representatives from two cities in each of the nine Bay <br />Area counties as well as a Supervisor from each county, will meet weekly during <br />the legislative session to receive progress reports on housing -related bills in the <br />state Assembly and state Senate, and to provide feedback on those bills to MTC <br />and ABAG staff. <br />"Now that the CASA initiative is over, the action on housing policy has shifted to <br />Sacramento, where all local officials need to be engaged in the discussion," <br />explained Clayton Vice Mayor Julie Pierce, who also serves as Chair of both the <br />Housing Legislative Working Group and the ABAG Legislation Committee. CASA <br />is the nickname of the broad -based Committee to House the Bay Area convened <br />by ABAG and MTC to develop policy recommendations for producing more <br />housing at all income levels in the Bay Area, preserving existing affordable <br />housing, and protecting current residents from displacement in rapidly -changing <br />neighborhoods. The CASA Steering Committee produced the CASA Compact, a <br />document that includes 10 recommendations for policy changes, and completed <br />its work in December 2018. <br />Rohnert Park City Councilmember Jake Mackenzie, who was named as the new <br />Chair of MTC's Legislation Committee, will serve as Vice Chair of the Housing <br />Legislative Working Group. Other Working Group appointments approved this <br />week include: <br />• Anthony Adams, Suisun City Councilmember; <br />• Judy Arnold, Marin County Board of Supervisors; <br />
