organized by City Service Areas (CSAs), adding that future iterations of the
Matrix will also include key/important bills that are being tracked by
departments. Member Cortese suggested
receiving the matrix one week and approving it the following week. He also suggested a footnote to indicate a
local body, (such as the Santa Clara County Cities Association), supports or
has taken a position on a particular bill.
Both Vice Mayor Dando and Member Cortese emphasized keeping Council focused
on bills the City has taken, or is about to take, a position on, by marking
such bills “Urgent” and placing them on the first page of the matrix.
Ms. Shotwell told the Committee that Patton Boggs,
LLP, the City’s new Federal lobbyists, would include a transitional report in
their monthly update to Council; additionally, Patton Boggs will meet with
Rules Committee before fiscal yearend.
The Committee accepted the State Legislative Bill
Matrix and Bill Status Report and directed Administration to return next week
with a new format, which includes a first page listing “Urgent” bills.
