TITLE
Recommendation to receive and file travel report on the California Contract Cities Legislative Orientation Tour, and the League of California Cities 2008 Mayors and Councilmembers Academy,
January 14 - 18, 2008.
 
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.
 
My attendance at the following California Contract Cities Legislative Orientation Tour and League of California Cities (LCC) Academy was authorized in the capacity of the City's membership in both organizations.
 
      California Contract Cities Legislative Orientation Tour
      January 14 through January 16 - Sacramento, CA
      League of California Cities 2008 Mayors and Councilmembers Academy
      January 16 through January 18 - Sacramento, CA
 
These conferences provided me with the opportunity to represent the City in working dialogues that focused on Public Policy and the Environment.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
 
Respectfully Submitted,
 
Tonia Reyes Uranga, Councilmember
Seventh District
