Council concurred to support this Bill and <br />instructed the City Attorney to communicate this information to the appropriate <br />State legislators. <br /> <br /> Mr. Scheidig stated that in the past he had attempted to obtain Council con- <br />sensus regarding legislative position on bills at the hi-weekly meetings. How- <br />ever, due to the fact that legislative hearings are often scheduled for action <br />on bills in the two-week periods between meetings and because the League Legis- <br />lative Bulletin often does not come out in time to submit these bills in the <br />Council packet, the following procedure will be taken: (1) Transmit a copy of <br />the Legislative Bulletin to the City Council as soon as receive; and (2) Prepare <br />a draft letter for approval by the City Council and transmit the same for review. <br />Upon approval by a majority of Council of the draft letter, have the necessary <br />copies prepared with the Mayor~s signature for transmittal to Sacramento. By <br />use of this procedure, it is hope that the City will be able to take a more <br />responsive stand on matters of interest to the City and in order to insure that <br />there will be no delay in the preparation and dissemination of the letter. <br /> <br /> Mr. Scheidig requested a date for the Annual Meeting with Legislators in <br />Sacramento. Council indicated that Duesday, April 15, 1975, would be an accept- <br />able date for this meeting. <br /> <br />COMMUNICATIONS <br />Letter from Birdie Blanchit.
