Our main topics are:
2023 Transportation Priorities
Adina Levin from Friends of Caltrain and Seamless Bay Area will discuss the top priorities this year for transit in the Bay Area.
Issues include an upcoming “fiscal cliff” for VTA funding, Sunnyvale’s Active Transportation Plan funding and Seamless Bay Area initiatives.
City of Sunnyvale Legislative Advocacy Process
Former Council Member Gustav Larsson and Michele Zahraie, Senior Management Analyst will discuss the City process for advocating for bills in the California legislature.
Currently, the City Council votes on general legislative priorities at the beginning of the year. Then the Mayor sends letters advocating for or opposing specific bills as they move through committees and to the Assembly or Senate. Should the full Council or members of the public be more involved in this process?
We will vote on a motion to send a letter to the Council asking that correspondence from Staff or Council on potential legislation be subject to a vote of the City Council. (Note that the wording may change as a result of discussion at the meeting)
