Contact: E. Struthers, 925-655-2045
Referral History:
In early 2025, the Legislation Committee directed staff to host a meeting with the County’s elected State and Federal representatives. The meeting goals would include building relationships between the County and our elected State and Federal representatives; fostering better understanding of County functions and key topical issues; and continuing to cultivate productive working relationships between the County and its elected representatives. These goals are more critical than ever as the County works to analyze and implement the recently adopted federal reconciliation package (H.R. 1) and the FY25-26 State Budget.
Referral Update:
Today’s meeting of the Legislation Committee is focused on sharing informational updates on key topics, and on building relationships between the County and our elected State and Federal representatives. It is an informational meeting only, with four panels on timely, key topics for the County. The panel topics and materials are included in this agenda packet.
To foster dialogue, the event format is planned to include four breakout groups. Event attendees will rotate through each topic’s station (or breakout group). There will be approximately 25 minutes at each station. Opportunities for public comment on all four topics will be provided at the end of the informational stations. This format is subject to change at the direction of the Chair, based on considerations including event attendance.
No actions are to be taken at this meeting; all items are informational only.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
PROVIDE welcoming and introductory remarks from Chair Burgis and Vice Chair Scales-Preston.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
None.
