City of San Leandro <br /> 2024 State Legislative Platform and Policy Guidance <br />For review by City Council: January 8, 2024 <br />The City of San Leandro’s state legislative agenda for 2024 is designed to reflect the adopted priorities <br />and policy direction of the Mayor and City Council with input from the City Administration. This strategic <br />agenda includes advocating for legislation, regulations, and funding that is consistent with the City’s <br />adopted priorities. It is informed by the City Council’s prior year adopted legislative platform, and has <br />been updated for 2024 to reflect new or emerging policy issues. <br />This agenda is designed to provide standing authority for the Mayor and members of the City Council, <br />City staff, or the City’s legislative advocate to take action on pending legislative matters on behalf of the <br />City of San Leandro when time or other constraints preclude bringing such matters before the City <br />Council in advance. Such actions could include issuing letters on behalf of the City, expressing the City’s <br />position in policy committee hearings, attending or scheduling meetings, or otherwise advocating for <br />actions that are consistent with the policy language contained herein. This document is also designed to <br />provide the public and the City’s advocates a better understanding of the Mayor and City Council’s policy <br />preferences regarding a variety of legislative and intergovernmental issues that might arise during the <br />course of the year. <br />This report is two sections: <br />1. City Specific State Legislative Priorities for Recommended Action, and <br />2. General Policy Priorities for Ongoing Monitoring or Advocacy <br /> <br />1. City Specific State Legislative Priorities for Recommended Action <br />Below is a list of specific legislative priorities for the city. Direct advocacy with the Governor, the <br />Legislature, State agencies, and other organizations will be generally focused on these areas. <br />The Legislature will maintain its focus on recent policy priorities, including: housing supply and <br />affordability, homelessness and behavioral health, climate resiliency, transportation & infrastructure, <br />governance & transparency, emergency preparedness and other topics. <br /> <br />Transportation, Public Works, and Technology <br />• Autonomous Vehicles.

The East 14th street right-of-way is a state highway <br />so maintenance is currently the responsibility of the California Department of Transportation. <br />Support efforts to improve the pavement conditions of other State rights-of-way in San Leandro, <br />including Davis Street and Doolittle Drive. <br />• Electric Vehicle Infrastructure. Support efforts and funding programs that provide greater <br />flexibility and opportunities to enhance and build out electric vehicle infrastructure, particularly <br />near multifamily housing units or other areas that could yield positive benefits to the community. <br />Support efforts and funding programs for affordable ownership or leasing of electric vehicles. <br />• Extended Producer Responsibility and Zero Waste Programs.
