City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: January 4, 2021 <br />Presentation <br />Agenda Section:File Number:20-603 PRESENTATIONS <br />Agenda Number:4.A. <br />TO:City Council <br />FROM:Fran Robustelli <br />Interim City Manager <br />BY:City Council <br />FINANCE REVIEW:Susan Hsieh <br />Finance Director <br />TITLE:Presentation and Staff Report for 2021 Federal Legislative Platform and Annual <br />Update from Federal Government Liaison Jen Covino, President of Simon and <br />Company <br />SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND <br />Each year, a representative from the offices of Simon & Company (the City’s federal government <br />liaison) provides an update on the federal legislative landscape as well as potential funding <br />opportunities available over the course of the upcoming year. This visit is timed to take place in <br />early January, prior to the U.S. Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting that typically takes place in <br />late January and the National League of Cities - Congressional Cities Conference in March, <br />which some members of the City Council may attend. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and <br />ongoing public health orders, it is anticipated these events may either be postponed this year or <br />will take place via tele-conference. Similar to past years, staff from Simon & Company will attend <br />these conferences too and are available to support the Mayor and members of the City Council. <br />Simon and Company is led by Jen Covino, who will provide the annual update to the City Council. <br />In addition to receiving the above annual update, it is important for the City Council to identify <br />policy priorities or projects that are germane to the City of San Leandro’s interests at the federal <br />level in 2021. Such documented priorities enable members of the City Council, City staff, or the <br />City’s advocates to issue letters, attend meetings, or otherwise take action as opportunities arise <br />over the year ahead. To this end, a draft of the annual federal legislative platform is also included <br />in the consent calendar for the City Council’s consideration. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />The costs for the City’s contract with Simon & Company for federal advocacy services, along with <br />anticipated costs for virtual attendance at U.S. Conference of Mayors and National League of <br />Cities events are already appropriated in the adopted current fiscal year City budget and no <br />additional appropriations are requested or anticipated at this time. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/30/2020 <br />11
