City of Pleasanton Legislative Framework <br /> . . • <br /> Enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform <br /> Like the National League of Cities and many others across our nation, the League urges <br /> Congress to address the nation's broken immigration system with a comprehensive approach <br /> that not only addresses equitable enforcement but also incorporates thoughtful, sensitive and <br /> bipartisan solutions to address the pending expiration of the Deferred Action for Childhood <br /> Arrivals (DACA) Program, and the realities associated with millions of families, students and <br /> workers living in California and throughout the country. <br /> Invest in Public Safety and Disaster Preparedness <br /> To strengthen California's homeland security, emergency preparedness and crime-fighting <br /> efforts, the League urges Congress to maintain federal investment in resources critical to <br /> enabling local law enforcement to adequately provide public safety. Specifically, the League <br /> supports full funding for the Byrne/Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) program, the Community <br /> Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program, the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency <br /> Response (SAFER), the Assistance to Firefighters grant programs and for disaster <br /> preparedness, prevention, recovery, and response for all-hazard threats. <br /> Maintain Energy Efficient and Resource Conservation Strategies <br /> The League urges Congress to provide federal resources to assist regional and local <br /> governments in developing and implementing energy efficiency and conservation strategies <br /> and ensure that local governments can continue, and not be preempted in, their efforts to <br /> achieve economic improvements through increased energy efficiency and conservation plans <br /> that seek to decrease carbon emissions <br /> 12IPage <br />
