City of City of San Leandro 2025 State Legislative Platform & Policy Guidelines Page 5 of 11 • Just Transition and Jobs. Support the transitioning of fossil fuel-dependent industries to renewable energy and the regenerative economy. Related efforts could include: supporting workers in declining sectors, and investing in High-Road workforce development programs and industry partnerships that deliver equity, sustainability, and high-paying quality jobs. • Local Control of Land Use Decisions. Oppose legislation that excessively pre- empts local control of land use determinations, while balancing statewide and regional housing goals. • Mobile Home Parks. Support efforts that would protect mobile home park residents, including initiatives to address public safety and site conditions, or prevent displacement. • Nutrients and Harmful Algal Blooms. Support legislation that provides funding for wastewater agencies to upgrade treatment processes to remove nutrients such as nitrogen from their discharges. Related efforts could include technical assistance or support for multi-benefit coastal resilience projects. Oppose legislation or regulations that mandate “one size fits all” approaches to regulation of nutrients. • Open Lands. Support 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. • PFAS and Other Emerging Contaminants. Support legislation that regulates emerging contaminants or products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to prevent these harmful “forever chemicals” from entering the environment via wastewater treatment facilities or other pathways. This may include product labeling requirements or PFAS-containing product prohibitions. • Shoreline Development. Support funding opportunities or partnerships 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. Law Enforcement & Public Safety • Assembly Bill 1506 Implementation. Support the successful implementation of AB 1506 (2020, McCarty), which provides the California Dept. of Justice with important tools to directly help build and maintain trust between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. • Automated Speed Enforcement. Support greater flexibility related to traffic responsibility and enforcement duties, such as the use of automated enforcement or traffic cameras.
