SUMMARY
The City's Federal lobbyist David Turch & Associates is coordinating a federal lobby day for the
month of September when the Senate and the House of Representatives will be in
session. Visiting while representatives are in session provides the maximum opportunity to meet
with them face-to-face. The intent is to conduct meetings to discuss topics on Transportation,
Public Safety, Economic Development, and various issues affecting the City of Rosemead. The
City Council will consider authorizing the attendance of any Council Member and City staff who
wishes to attend a Federal Legislative Advocacy Day in Washington, DC on September 25-28,
2023.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the attendance, at City expense, of any Council
Member and City staff interested in attending a Federal Legislative Advocacy Day in
Washington, DC on September 25-28, 2023.
ANALYSIS
The Expense and Use of Public Resources Policy, adopted by City Council Resolution No. 2005-
47, requires prior City Council approval for out-of-state travel beyond an adjacent state. Funding
for this purpose is contained in the City's annual budget.
