Meeting Date:	12/15/2020
FROM:	Bill Gallardo

Subject:

2021 Brea Legislative Platform

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council review the attached 2020 City of Brea Legislative Platform to provide feedback for the formation of the 2021 Platform which will come back in January 2021 for adoption.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

The City of Brea Legislative Platform is updated annually to coincide with the state and federal legislative sessions. Part of the updating process includes a review of the previous year’s legislative platform by City Council, staff, the Executive Directors and the City’s Legislative Advocates. Through the process, edits are suggested to keep the platform current.

The legislative platform is used to outline City Council positions on essential issues and serves as City Council authorization for Brea elected officials and professional staff to advocate the City’s position as legislation proceeds at the federal, state and regional levels. It also provides staff with clear direction regarding the types of issues the City will monitor during the legislative session and enables staff to respond quickly with the City’s position as amendments to bills occur in the legislature.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY

The City of Brea proactively engages in the legislative process by annually adopting a legislative platform. The platform outlines City Council positions on essential issues and serves as authorization for Brea elected officials and professional staff to advocate the City’s position as legislation proceeds at the federal, state and regional levels.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

William Gallardo, City Manager
