PURPOSE The purpose of establishing legislative advocacy principles is to authorize a City's position on a legislative bill in a timely manner. These principles will allow the Legislative Subcommittee to consider pending legislation to determine if it falls within the Council's adopted principles, thereby allowing the City to issue a position statement without taking the pending legislation to Council. If the legislation does not fall within the guidelines, it will be taken to Council for discussion and direction. II. ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE The Legislative Subcommittee (Subcommittee) shall meet during the active legislative year (January through August) or as needed review State legislation, ballot measures, and positions to take on specific bills. The Subcommittee can recommend to the City Council a legislative and policy platform that establishes the City’s legislative priorities for that calendar year. The two members of the Subcommittee are appointed by the Mayor each calendar year. It is recommended that the Councilmember appointed to represent the City of Campbell on the Cities Association of Santa Clara County Legislative Action Committee, is also appointed to serve on the Legislative Subcommittee for continuity of information and knowledge of legislation advocacy. III. POLICY SCOPE The Subcommittee may take a position on proposed legislation if such legislation is consistent with the following guiding principles: a. Directly impacts the City’s finances, responsibilities, legal authority, or operations; b. Protects or increases local revenues; c. Protects or increases local control; d. Is consistent with existing City policy or current City Council strategic priorities; or e. Advocates against unfunded mandates. The City Manager shall recommend City Council review and action if the City Manager determines the legislation is not consistent with the guiding principles above, in accordance with Council Policy 1.10 – Legislation. Rev. 7/2/2020 IV. OBJECTIVES a. Advocate the City’s legislative position at the federal, state, regional and county levels. b. Inform and provide information to legislators of the potential impacts that key legislation would have on the City of Campbell. c. Work cooperatively with other local governments, the League of California Cities, the Cities Association of Santa Clara County, and other professional organizations on legislative issues that may impact the City and region. d. Actively track bills through the legislative process. e. Proactively meet with legislators and their representatives to discuss local government issues, proposed legislation, and potential funding requests for City of Campbell programs and services. f. To inform the public of the City of Campbell’s position on proposed legislation. V. PROCESS Staff will prepare position letters for the Mayor’s or Subcommittee’s signature on a legislative proposal that may impact the City of Campbell based on the guiding principles in Section III. The letter shall outline the City’s position and shall identify the potential impacts the legislation will have to the City of Campbell. The position letters shall be submitted via the established process of the federal, state, or regional body that is receiving the letter. Additionally, members of the City Council shall receive a copy of the letter and a copy of the letter shall be posted to the City of Campbell’s website. Rev. 7/2/2020
