STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2023
SUBJECT: FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY DAY — OCTOBER 2" — 5TH
2023 — WASHINGTON, DC
SUMMARY
On August 8, the City Council approved a federal lobby day for the month of September. Due to
scheduling conflicts, the Federal Legislative Advocacy Day coordinated by the City's Federal
lobbyist David Turch & Associates, is being postponed to October 2 - 5, 2023. 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 October 2 - 5, 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 October 2 - 5, 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.
