"Challenges Confronting California Cities from Washington - Now And In The
Future"
1:30 - 3: 00 pm
How can cities position themselves to be more effective in dealing with Washington? Will Washington continue
to distance itself from local government on matters of transportation, public safety and the environment?
Drawing on a background of over 30 years in Washington, Leon Panetta will offer insights on how California
cities will fare in dealings with Washington in the coming years.
Keynote Speaker-
Leon Panetta
General Session

Get ready for action! Get ready for ethical challenges! Watch some of your peers (or yourself) get "fired" by
"Donald Trump"! Yes, it's the Cal-ICMA version of "The Ethical Apprentice"! During this 15 minute
introduction, Dave Childs will "set the stage" for Thursday's "Ethical Apprentice" general game session
including:
• Audience ground rules for how to behave when "Donald Trump" shows up
• Selection of teams and their ethical challenges to be presented to "Mr. Trump" and his
"assistants" in Thursday's "Ethical Apprentice Showdown"!
Looking Ahead: Cities And The State Budget

Prop. 1A is in place, but with our state continuing to face huge deficits, what fiscal pressures will hit cities in the
future? How might cities' relationships to the Governor and Legislature change as a result of Prop. IA? What we

Dealing With And Preventing Ethics Scandals In Your City
What happens when one or more of your city officials are implicated in an ethics scandal? What are your internal
and external communications imperatives? What tools and techniques are available to prevent future scandals and

What Do You Do After The Honeymoon?
This discussion previews what actions and behaviors create the united "honeymoon" period for City Managers.
This comprehensive analysis will identify key activities that are responsible for the Council-Manager
"honeymoon," and key ideas for extending that grace period. This panel will address why the honeymoon ends.
Moving To A Private Sector Job - is It for You?
Explore and discuss what is entailed in leaving a city management position to accept a position in the private
sector. Often times we hear how many great employment opportunities there are in the private sector but are
never given the details of what these jobs require in terms of expectations on and off the job. During this
workshop, former city managers will discuss the issues. Each person should consider whether they would be more
compatible with public or private sector employment opportunities.
California Performance Review
