TITLE
Recommendation to receive and file travel report on the League of California Cities and California Contract Cities Association meetings on May 15 - 20, 2007.
DISCUSSION
I would like to take this opportunity to file a travel report as required by AB 1234 for activities consistent with the definition of "official City Business" under the City Auditor's Travel and Reimbursement Policy for Non-AR Departments:
· Meetings with government and business leaders for the purpose of carrying out official City business;
· Non-partisan conferences, training and education trips, including visiting other governments to discuss and observe best practices;
· Travel in furtherance of an adopted policy, ordinance or City resolution.
The City is a member of both the League of California Cities (LCC) and California Contract Cities Association (CCCA) and my attendance was authorized in the capacity of that membership.
League of California Cities, 2007 Legislative Days May 15 through May 17 - Sacramento, CA
California Contract Cities Association, 48th Annual Municipal Seminar May 17 through May 20 - Indian Wells, CA
These conferences provided me with the opportunity to represent the City in a working dialogue that focused on collaboration and information sharing of key issues including state infrastructure bonds, key legislation and alternative fuel vehicles.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
COUNCILMEMBER TONIA REYES URANGA, SEVENTH DISTRICT
