ISSUE
In accordance with Board Policy No. BP 026 — Legislative Advocacy, the Board may provide direction to
staff on positions related to priority legislation.
BACKGROUND
Under BP 026 — Legislative Advocacy, when legislation has direct impact on Central San or special
significance to the Board, the General Manager will present information to the Board on priority legislation.
The Board may then provide direction as to Central San's position on the legislation.
Staff has reviewed pending legislation and worked with member associations to identify possible direct
impacts on Central San. The process to create and pass legislation is constantly in flux; the priority
legislation presented in this Position Paper represents the most confident analysis and due diligence
research at this time. As new information becomes available, it will be presented at future Board meetings.
A priority legislation tracking sheet for Board review and input will be sent prior to the Board meeting with the
latest information. Staff will discuss several of the priority items at this meeting and expand on others in the
coming weeks as more information becomes available.
