City of City of San Leandro 2024 State Legislative Platform & Policy Guidelines Page 4 of 8 • Just Transition and Jobs. Support efforts and legislation around transitioning fossil fuel- dependent industries to renewable energy and the regenerative economy. Related efforts could include: supporting workers in declining sectors, and working with relevant partners to invest in High-Road workforce development programs and infrastructure, which aim to create economically resilient communities by focusing first and foremost on equity and high-paying quality jobs. • Local Control of Land Use Decisions. Oppose legislation that excessively pre-empts local control of land use authority, while reasonably balancing statewide or regional housing goals. • Mobile Home Parks. Support efforts that would protect mobile home park residents, including related efforts to address public safety and site conditions, and addressing or preventing displacement. • Open Lands. Support efforts for carbon sequestration and healthy soils in open lands, particularly in conjunction with SB1383. Support controlled treatment burns in open spaces and forests to reduce wildfire intensity. Support efforts to rematriate public lands to indigenous people. • PFAS Source Control. Support policies and legislation to control sources of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the environment and limit human exposure. Support efforts to improve understanding of the sources of these harmful “forever chemicals”, including scientific funding, as well as labeling/reporting requirements. Support regulations to limit the negative impacts of PFAS, including product bans where suitable alternatives can be identified. • Shoreline Development. Support efforts or funding opportunities that would assist in the successful redevelopment of San Leandro’s shoreline area. • Sharing Economy. Support legislation that enhances the ability of local governments to fairly regulate sharing economy services such as ride share and short-term rentals to protect public safety, ensure tax & fee collection, and adequate supply of rental housing stock. • Urban Trees. Support efforts and funding for ongoing maintenance of urban trees and expansion of urban canopy and green spaces, including installing irrigation systems, as well as pruning trees, removing dead trees, and planting trees. Law Enforcement & Public Safety • Automated Speed Enforcement. Support greater flexibility related to traffic responsibility and enforcement duties, such as the use of automated enforcement or traffic cameras designed and implemented with an equity impact assessment. • Body Cameras. Support legislation addressing best practices for the use of police body-worn cameras, while balancing the needs of the public and law enforcement personnel. • De-escalation Training & Funding. Support efforts that would provide additional funding or training opportunities for law enforcement and public safety personnel on tactics designed to defuse or de-escalate interactions with potentially violent individuals and/or persons suffering from mental health issues or crises. • Disaster Prevention and Recovery. Seek additional funding and expand the definition of programs eligible for grant funding for disaster recovery and prevention. • Drones. As the use and need for drones expands, so does the discussion on local control and privacy. Monitor any new legislation and support efforts to ensure local needs are adequately addressed. • First Amendment and Protest Policing. Support efforts to provide training and support for law enforcement agencies so that they may effectively protect public safety during protests and/or free speech events. • Human Trafficking. Support statewide efforts to address the issue of human trafficking and provide support for local law enforcement efforts to do the same.
