The proposed amendments will: . Revise section l.b.(l) of the policy to bring the time line for presenting funding requests to the United States Congress and California State Legislature into conformance with the federal and state earmark submittal processes, and . Add section l.b. (4) to the policy for monitoring legislation of interest to the City, The Legislative Program represents the City Council's position on items likely to be acted upon by the California State Legislature, United States Congress, or various administrative agencies. By adopting a Legislative Program at the beginning of each two-year legislative session and amending it at mid-term, Chula Vista is able to take a proactive role in sponsoring, supporting, or opposing bills related to the City's various legislative priorities. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolutions. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable 2-1 Item 2. DISCUSSION Background on the Legislative Policv Council Policy 300-0 I (adopted by Resolution 12879) established the procedures and guidelines for the review of legislative matters affecting the City. This policy provides for a formal Legislative Program that reflects the Council's general preferences on bills to be supported or opposed. The policy also states that the Legislative Committee shall serve as the initial reviewing body on legislative recommendations forwarded from the City Manager's office. Should the Committee deem it necessary, or should a proposal that merits support or opposition fall outside the guidelines of the Legislative Program, the Policy states that the full Council will review and vote to support or oppose the legislation. The current policy states that: . On or before April I of each year, the City Manager shall request department heads to submit proposals for possible funding through the State budgetary process . On or before May I of each year departments submit state budgetary proposals to the City Manager's office and/or the legislative advocate for review and transmittal to the Legislative Committee . On or before June I City Council adopts items to be sponsored by the City for inclusion in the state budget. Although the California Constitution calls for the Legislature to send a budget proposal to the Governor for signature in June of each year, legislators begin the process of working with their colleagues and various fiscal committees almost as soon as the Legislature convenes each year. The City would be much better served submitting requests for 'earmarks' or 'trailer items' far earlier in the process than the Policy now outlines. In addition, the Policy is silent on submittals for inclusion in the federal budget. A proposed amendment to Policy 300-01 would merge the existing 'budget item' and 'new legislation' processes into one timeline that begins on or before September I of each year, and would include references to the federal budget process (Attachment A, pages 2-5). In addition, City staff would like to include a fourth category to the components of the Legislative Program. Current components include: . Legislation to be sponsored . Legislation on which positions should be taken . Responses to Administrative Actions Staff recommends a component that describes Legislation that should be monitored, but does not merit taking a formal position (Attachment A, page 5) Background on the Legislative PrOgram The Legislative Program (as instituted by Council Policy 300-01 in 1987) is used to identify and adopt position statements regarding a variety of issues that reflect the policy and direction of the City Council. This document sets guidelines that permit staff to make timely responses consistent with the Council's desires to sponsor, support or oppose bills during the legislative session. By taking action on a comprehensive program at the start and midpoint of the state legislative and Congressional sessions, the City is able to work with our locally elected representatives to introduce needed legislation as well as position itself on a wide range of issues. The existing Legislative Program, adopted by the City Council in December 2005, does not reflect Council priorities, nor does it differentiate between the kinds of legislation that call for significant City involvement (e.g. presenting testimony at State or Congressional hearings, meeting with area legislators to discuss Chula Vista's concerns, etc.) vs. that which merits letters of support, opposition or monitoring. 2-2 Item 2.. In August 2007, the City Council discussed their priority issues at a Council retreat. With that foundation, along with submittals from city department and division heads, the City Manager and Government Relations Liaison have prepared a proposed Legislative Program with four levels of priority, and includes projects for which Federal and/or State funding could be requested. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Amending Council Policy 300-01: Staff has reviewed the decisions contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section I 8704.2(a)(l) is not applicable to this decision. Adopting the 2008 Legislative Program: Staff has reviewed the decisions contemplated by this action and determined that it is not site specific at this time, and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2(a)(I) is not applicable to this decision. Should aspects of the Legislative Program change, either as a result of the council actions at this workshop, or as a result of site-specific funding opportunities, staff will inform affected Council members of any recognized decision-maker conflicts. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with amending Council Policy 300-01. There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Legislative Program. Success in obtaining state or federal earmarks for individual projects may result in the receipt of funds to the City, however those cannot be determined at this time.

Generally, the purpose of this section is to establish procedures concerning City sponsorship of legislation and/or administrative regulations, which the City seeks to have introduced and review of legislation and/or administrative regulations introduced by others that may have an impact upon the City of Chula Vista or its interests. This Section also establishes procedures to guide City officers and employees in their communications with, and possible appearances before, legislative and administrative bodies and other organizations. POT .ICY 1. T p.ei~l~t;vp. M::Ittp.r~ a. Tntr()(h1(~ti()n to the r;ty'~ T p.ei~l::1tivp. Prf'lV"::tm The City's Legislative program (County, State and Federal) contains all positions taken by the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency, which relate to the activities of the City of Chula Vista. These City Council-adopted positions generally indicate the city sponsorship of proposals that Chula Vista would like enacted (Group I), support or opposition to legislative matters (Group II) sponsored by others, and administrative actions (Group III) that the City seeks at various levels, Hnc1 m"H.lITf'. thHt m"rit monitoring (f'TTOllp TV) for impHc.t. on <:ity op"mtion. or progrHm.. When the City Council expresses a position (either a general policy or on a specific measure/issue), it is generally broad enough to allow the City to act on any legislation having a similar effect. Therefore, there may be some positions on bills that are added directly to the Legislative Program because the City Council has already expressed its position on an earlier, related matter. Generally, the Legislative Program shall include only those items of a direct and substantial impact on the operation of City government. Such an impact is defmed as any fmancial cost over a minimum amount for purposes of claiming reimbursement pursuant to Section 2253.2(b) of the Revenue and Taxation Code, (which has been established at $200.00 cost to a local agency as of 1978) or a non-fmancial cost item wIrich thai has a substantial impact on the operation of a City department or agency, the City Council, or the Mayor. Such impacts may be contained in the State or P"c1"rHl budget, legislation, and administrative actions mandating local performance. 2-4 SUBJECT: COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF CHULA VISTA ORGANIZATION AND PROCEDURES POLICY ON LEGISLATIVE MATTERS NUMBER AFFECTING THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA 300-01 EFFECTIVE DATE 01-13-87 PAGE 2 OF 10 ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 12879 I DATED: 01-13-97 AMENDED BY: Resolution No. 2003-482 (11/25/03), Resolution No. (12/06/07) Whenever any city department representative ascertains that a legislative or administrative (governmental or non-governmental) proposal will have some substantial impact on the City, the information concerning this impact shall be forwarded to the City Manager's office.

For proposed actions and/or legislation that are determined to have an effect on the City of ChuIa Vista, the City Manager's staff will notify the affected City department for its review and/or report regarding the actionllegislation. If the City department to which the notification was referred determines that the measure will have a direct and/or substantial effect upon their operations or finances, or on the operation of the City government in general, the department shall recommend a position and shall prepare a brief, factual report covering what it believes to be the significant features of the legislation and the effects or possible effects upon department operations and finances (i.e., a cost impact estimate) or upon city government in general. The department report shall be submitted to the Legislative Committee via the City Manager, for consideration in making a final recommendation to the City Council.

Upon adoption of a measure by both houses of the Legislature or Congress, a bill is submitted to the Governor or President for approval. It is frequently desirable for the views of the City of Chula Vista with respect to such measures to be communicated to the Governor or the President. The Mayor and/or legislative advocate shall be authorized to communicate and recommend approval or rejection, or seek any appropriate administrative action regarding such measures pending before the President or Governor if the measure is included in the adopted legislative program and/or as directed by the City Council. The actions of the Mayor and/or legislative advocate will be reflective of previous Council action on the subject matter. (3) Gronp TTT A.dmini~trSltivp. A~tinn~ While much of the activity affecting City government occurs in the form of state or federal legislation, an ever increasing number of rules, regulations, and guidelines of administrative entities can have practically as much impact as law. The process for development of these rules, regulations, and guidelines is not the same as for laws. In fact, the activity leading to final rules, regulations, or guidelines is often less formal, occurs more rapidly and involves a wide variety of County, State and/or Federal agencies. The administrative actions sought are proposals, sometimes suggested by the Mayor, Councilmembers, and/or City departments, whereby the City is seeking or opposing a particular administrative action or change, or informing the various governmental bodies of the City's position on matters that are not normally dealt with legislatively. Positions for administrative actions will be forwarded to the City Council for final approval and/or authorization allowing staff to prepare a letter for the Mayor's signature to be forwarded to the appropriate administrative body. If Council has taken a position on similar legislation, the item, after review by the Legislative Committee, will automatically be placed on the Legislative Program with appropriate action taken by staff with copies to the City Council. 2-8 COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF CHULA VISTA SUBJECT: ORGANIZATION AND PROCEDURES POLICY EFFECTIVE ON LEGISLATIVE MATTERS NUMBER DATE PAGE AFFECTING THE CITY OF CHULA 300-01 10 VISTA 01-13-87 60F ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 12879 I DATED: 01-13-97 AMENDED BY: Resolution No. 2003-482 (11/25/03), Resolution No. ( 12/06/07) (4) Gronp TV Monitoring Pp.ndinf 1.et'}!illsdinn Ollrine thr- ~nllrc;:p. of::. ~t:ltP. or Fp.np.T:ll1e:gjs.l::1tivp. s.p,SoC;:lnn, thons.::Inrh:: nf hills. ::Ire: ;ntrnrlll~f':rl ::loll Tp.viewP.n 1w thp: ~;ty'c;: Ip.gjs.l::trivp: :lrlV()~::ItP:, ::Ie;: w"ll ::Ie;: s.l1C':h pntit;p:s. :::Is. thE': T p.:::Ignp: of r::llifnm;::t r1tip,s. th" N~tion~1 T P:::IgJ1P. of rinp,s. th" TT S C:onfP:TPnc:f'! of M:::aYON ::Inn :l hTl1:ln s.pe.ctTllm nfprnfec;:c;:inn::.l ::Ic;:c;:or..1;::tnnns. nfwhi"h thE': rity's. f':mployf':p:s' ::IrE": mf':mhf':N Whilf'! s.omf': hills :Uf': Qllic.kly ic1f':ntitlf':n ~u: s.igJ'lifiC':::Infl ::Inn mp.ritine ::I fnrm::ll poc;:;tinn hy thf': rityl ::mc1 nthf':rs.

They will attend the sessions of these bodies and present information to aid in the passage or defeat of legislation or actions when the City Council deems it appropriate for the City ofChula Vista to so act. All City officers are required to extend their fullest cooperation in technical assistance to the Legislative Representatives in their presentation of City positions. From time to time, special representatives of the City may also be designated to contact specific members of, or to appear as witnesses before, the various legislative bodies and entities or organizations as may be recommended by the City Manager's office and approved by the City Council. b. App"HTHne,," hy Fl"ct"n City OfficiHl~ Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the right of elected City officials or their designees to appear before any governmental body or organization to express their personal views at any time. However, such elected official should clearly indicate that the opinion expressed is that official's point of view and not an official City position. In order to officially represent the City, such appearances must be consistent with the City's adopted position on the matter. If such elected official or the official's designee testifies contrary to a City position, the official or designee should state that the testimony or communication is contrary to an adopted City position. c.

The City's duly authorized legislative representatives, in Sacramento and Washington D C., cannot perform their work effectively if representatives of other City offices present information to legislative bodies, governmental agencies, or other decision- makers that might be contrary to that presented by the official representatives. To provide for the proper coordination in the presentation of the City's legislative program, non-elective officers and employees of the City while acting in their official City capacity shall, prior to communicating (whether OTRllv or in wntinol or tp.~t;fvino hf':fnTf': lp:o;~l}1t;vf': hoiiif':!;l, or ;:lr1mini~trRtivf": 2-10 SUBJECT: ORGANIZATION AND PROCEDURES ON LEGISLATIVE MATTERS AFFECTING THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA COUNCIL POLICY CITYOFCHULA VISTA POLICY NUMBER 300-01 EFFECTIVE DATE 01-13-87 PAGE 8 OF 10 ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 12879 I DATED: 01-13-97 AMENDED BY: Resolution No. 2003-482 (11/25/03), Resolution No. ( 12/06/07) entities and other organizations, consult with the City Manager's office to determine whether the subject of the communication or testimony is one of policy or is technical in nature. If the subject of the communication or testimony of a City employee is of a policy nature, it must be consistent with the adopted City position. Any non-elected City official or employee expressing a point of view that is contrary to an adopted City position must clearly state in the body of the communication or testimony that: "This is a personal opinion, it is not a City position, and it is not consistent with the City position. Furthermore, I am not acting in my official capacity as a City officer (or employee)." They must do all of this at their own expense (e.g., staff, stationery, etc.) and time. This policy In no way IS intended to prohibit an elected official from communicating or testifying on the official's own behalf to represent the official's personal position or the position of that office. NOTE. The lack of a formal City position on a matter shall not be considered as permitting the taking of a City position on the matter by an individual City official and/or employee. Such positions must be cleared through the process described above. d.

It is not the intent of this policy to reqUITe referral to the Council of routine communications received by City officers and employees in the transaction of City business. City staff shall consult with the City manager to determine whether or not the matter is of a policy nature. Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted as requiring the delay of a necessary response of an emergency nature providing that the officer or employee making such emergency response subsequently comply with the procedures contained herein as soon as possible. 2-11 SUBJECT: ORGANIZATION AND PROCEDURES ON LEGISLATIVE MATTERS AFFECTING THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA COUNCIL POLICY CITYOFCHULA VISTA POLICY NUMBER 300-01 EFFECTIVE DATE 01-13-87 PAGE 90FIO ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 12879 I DATED: 01-13-97 AMENDED BY: Resolution No. 2003-482 (11/25/03), Resolution No. (12/06/07) 3.

Councilmembers serving on these committees will coordinate positions on legislative/administrative items with the City's Legislative Committee and City Council. 4. Glo..~ry of Tenn. a. As used in this section, the terms "legislative matters," "legislation," "legislative bodies," and similar terms shall include administrative matters, administrative policy, and administrative agencies and bodies of federal, state or county and other governmental agencies except when specific differentiation between legislative and administrative is herein made. It is the intent of this definition to require that communications from City officers and departments on policy matters be approved through the same process as communications on legislation. It is not the intent of this definition to require approval of normal, routine communications to agencies in the transaction of City business. b. An issue that is policy in nature is one that is more than routine and purely administrative. It is a matter involving a discretionary judgment, one that cannot be made by merely reading a code book or a set of existing regulations and following such without the need of discretion (i.e., non-ministerial). When such a reading is combined, however, with interpretation that could reasonably appear to be "new policy" of a new entity, then the matter is of a policy nature. c. A "session" of a legislative body is the official life of that entity. Each U S. Congressional and State Legislative Session lasts two years, commencing with the taking of office by the newly elected representatives (for the U. S. House of Representatives or State Assembly) following the November elections every even nwnbered year. The same two-year term applies to the U S. Senate and the State Senate, even though the terms of individual members may be staggered. 2-12 SUBJECT: ORGANIZATION AND PROCEDURES ON LEGISLATIVE MATTERS AFFECTING TIlE CITY OF CHULA VISTA COUNCIL POLICY CITYOFCHULA VISTA POLICY NUMBER 300-01 EFFECTIVE DATE 01-13-87 PAGE lOOFIO ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 12879 I DATED: 01-13-97 AMENDED BY: Resolution No. 2003-482 (11/25/03), Resolution No. (12/06/07) d.
