This week I had the opportunity to meet with local North Bay representatives as part of the League of California Cities.
Thank you to CalCities for your leadership in advocating for local communities and helping cities better serve their residents!

Joined @calcities.bsky.social , labor & community leaders to support #CapAndTrade reauthorization. It’s time to invest in climate-safe infrastructure, reduce emissions & support middle-class jobs. Local govs need the tools to meet housing + climate goals. #ClimateAction #CalCities

Checking in with the CalCities Redwood Empire division. Councilmembers from Mendocino, Humboldt, and Lake Counties met in Fortuna to learn more about home hardening, talk about local and regional issues, and to hear about the final push on Sacramento legislation.

This week I signed a series of letters signaling the city's positions on federal and state bills that would affect sustainability, resiliency, and housing in Thousand Oaks. We work with @leagueofcities and @calcities to develop policy positions that best serve city residents and businesses.

Today I signed letters expressing the city's support for six state bills involving wildfire preparedness, emergency relief, short-term rentals, and alcohol and drug treatment centers. Working with @calcities, which lobbies on behalf of 400+ CA cities, we hope to see all six bills enacted into law.

In Sacramento for a CalCities Community Services Policy Committee meeting. I never knew how many opportunities open up to participate at the county/state levels once you’re on Council. And for most of us, it’s a part-time job that we do out of love for our communities. It’s really quite amazing.

Here is the latest round of state legislation letters I’ve signed on behalf of the city. As always, city staff analyzes bills individually and in consultation with @calcities to determine which positions best reflect the priorities and goals approved by the City Council.

For decades, @CalCities lobbyists and their misguided allies have succeeded in defeating efforts to undo the harm caused by minimum parking mandates.
They’ve killed multiple parking reform bills, by drowning out legitimate research with evidence-free claims. /7

The claims made by @CalCities lobbyists are unsupported nonsense. They are contradicted by published, peer-reviewed academic studies. For example, researchers have found that minimum parking mandates INCREASE parking demand. Removing these harmful mandates does the opposite. /5

A small mountain of academic research has shown that minimum parking mandates cause great harm. Yet powerful lobbying groups, like @CalCities, vociferously defend them. They claim, without evidence, that removing these mandates will “increase parking demand and congestion”. /3

A few firm members traveled to LA for the annual CalCities City Attorney conference. It was held in Universal City, right next to Universal Studios.
We absorbed a *colossal* amount of information, and Emma Lewis and Mohamed Al-Shawaf visited the park one evening to meet the dinosaurs.
