City of City of San Leandro 2023 State Legislative Platform & Policy Guidelines Page 2 of 8 <br /> <br />• Illegal Dumping & Graffiti Abatement. Support legislative efforts that provide for greater <br />penalties or consumer-based incentives to reduce the amount of illegal dumping, waste disposal, <br />and graffiti. <br />• Public Utilities, Public Safety Power Shut-offs, Wildfire Liability and Vegetation <br />Management. Monitor legislation regarding wildfire liability. Following some of the most <br />destructive wildfires in California history, the State is expected to implement new plans to improve <br />disaster preparedness. Support funding to off-set local costs or other mitigation efforts associated <br />with public safety power shut-offs. Support opportunities to allow cities greater access to funding <br />opportunities for vegetation management and fuel load reduction. Monitor proposals that would <br />transition investor-owned utilities into customer-owned/publicly governed utilities. <br />• Railroad Safety. Support funding opportunities and advocate for projects that will increase public <br />safety in proximity to railroad tracks and rail crossings. <br />• Reclaimed/Recycled Water Projects. Support legislation that advances the use of recycled or <br />reclaimed water while meeting the needs of local agencies, especially during times of drought. <br />Related efforts could include support for permitting, construction, or maintenance of recycled <br />water pipelines or water storage and distribution systems. Oppose legislation or regulations that <br />would hinder these efforts. <br />• Recycling Programs. Support legislation to extend incentives for both household and <br />commercial recycling efforts. Oppose legislation that hampers recycling efforts or reduces <br />incentives to recycle. <br /> <br />• Smart City Technologies. Support efforts that provide funding or technical assistance for cities <br />that are implementing smart city technologies designed to improve public safety, quality of life, <br />public access to data, or government efficiency. <br />• Traffic Signal Synchronization. Support legislation or regulatory efforts to address greenhouse <br />gas (GHG) emissions by providing funding for traffic signal synchronization and related actions <br />that reduce traffic and pollution. <br />• Undergrounding of Utilities/Rule 20A. Support the approval and funding of projects that would <br />lead to the undergrounding of utility lines, and support the exploration of related regional <br />approaches. The Public Utilities Commission oversees Rule 20A, a program that establishes an <br />electric tariff for related work. Support common sense reforms to this program that would <br />streamline or otherwise help to facilitate undergrounding projects. <br />• Use of State Highways. Support efforts that would facilitate the use of overweight trucks to <br />transport goods from local San Leandro businesses to and from the Port of Oakland on routes <br />that utilize state highways. <br />• Vehicle Miles Traveled Legislation. Monitor new legislation or regulatory efforts with a greater <br />focus on Road Usage Charges (RUC), including the State’s RUC pilot program to study the <br />potential for RUC as an alternative to the gas tax. <br />• Water Quality Measures/Trash Capture Devices. Support legislation, regulations, and budget <br />proposals that will provide support and resources to purchase and install trash capture devices <br />or other efforts to address storm water runoff and/or protect water quality. <br /> <br />Housing, Land Use & Environmental Protection <br />• Affordable Housing. Support efforts to facilitate the development and construction of affordable <br />housing and related funding opportunities including more permanent supportive housing for the <br />homeless. Monitor any proposed legislation, regulations, or statewide guidelines to ensure they <br />meet the needs of the City of San Leandro and the region. <br />• Broadband Infrastructure. Support legislation or funding opportunities that would expand public <br />and private access to broadband, including the development of related infrastructure. Advocate
