CC - Item 4H - Proposed 2025 State and Federal Legislative PlatformROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
foo—
DATE: DECEMBER 10, 2024
SUBJECT: PROPOSED 2025 STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM
SUMMARY
In recent years, a Legislative Platform ("Platform") was developed to provide a streamlined
process for responding to legislative proposals that may impact the City. The proposed Platform
identifies the fundamental legislative issues deemed critical to the City, and upon Council
approval, would allow Staff to efficiently respond to legislative items.
Staff will utilize the Platform as a guideline for requests in support, against, or neutral positions
of a legislative proposal. However, legislative support requiring Resolutions or important and
unique issues would continue to be taken to the Council for formal consideration and adoption.
At the Legislative Committee meeting held on Monday, November 18, 2024, Staff received
direction to prepare and present a 2025 Platform to the City Council. The content in the proposed
Platform has significant revisions from previous years. The changes are based on efforts from the
legislative committee and the City's Strategic Plan. The City Council may add, remove, or
modify items within the adopted Platform throughout the year. The Legislative Platform will
also provide staff with the ability to proactively manage the City's legislative positions and
respond to issues that may significantly impact the City and are within the City's purview.
The City Manager's Office will continue to exercise day-to-day oversight of legislative matters
as in the past. In addition to coordinating formal action through the City Council, the City
Manager will administer the Platform as outlined in the document.
In summary, staff will work with and review the positions and analysis done by outside
professional associations and our legislative advocates, track bills through the legislative process,
communicate our positions to the appropriate author(s), and meet with all levels of government
to discuss the City's interests, requests, and issues.

Furthermore, the 2025 Platform will continue the practice of responding to legislative proposals
as follows:
• Once a determination has been made that a legislative proposal may impact the City, a
letter outlining the City's position (support, neutral, or oppose) and how the City Council
supports it, approved by the Legislative Platform, will be drafted for the Mayor's
signature;
• The City Manager will send the draft position letter to the Mayor for review;
• If the Mayor has concerns that the letter is not consistent with the City Council's position,
staff will place the letter on the next City Council agenda for consideration;
• Staff will finalize or modify the position letter as directed for the Mayor's signature and
send it to the appropriate recipient; and
• Staff will distribute a copy of the final letter to the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the proposed 2025 State and Federal Legislative Platform.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the 2025 Legislative Platform is to identify official City positions on legislative
matters. The City Council provides direction on these matters through the Platform.
The Platform reflects the City's Strategic Plan priorities, offering a guide for legislative actions. It
enables the City Manager to swiftly handle legislation that impacts the City by monitoring and

The City may support or oppose state and federal proposals based on its priorities. The City
Manager prepares position letters signed by the Mayor. City departments should track legislative
issues related to their fields, directing requests for positions to the City Manager. Departments
need City Manager approval to take positions.
For proposals aligned with the City's Platform or past positions, the City Manager prepares letters
for the Mayor. If not covered in the Platform, items are added to a future City Council agenda.
