Referral History:
Legislation Committee would like to hold a meeting with the County’s legislative delegation. The goals of the meeting are to enhance relationships between elected officials, their staff, the Legislation Committee members, and other key County staff. The meeting would also aim to educate the delegation on the County’s progress on major priorities, policy issues and concerns during the current session. A similar meeting was held last year on August 8, 2025.
The reception meeting is intended to be relatively conversational, with a focus on relationship-building and education about key legislative issues. However, in the spirit of the Brown Act and applicable public meeting laws, this event is planned as an agendized public meeting.
Staff is providing updates and requesting additional direction regarding meeting goals, topics to be covered, format of the event, and county presenters. Staff is working to finalize related logistics, such as the room configuration, handouts and materials, technology, and other planning needs.
Referral Update:
Wednesday, October 7, 2026 is currently scheduled as the Committee’s in-person meeting, where our state and federal delegation is invited to attend and hear about emerging topics of interest for the upcoming session in an informal, and conversational setting.
