LEGISLATIVE BUSNESS
22. Legislative Program: Adopt a Resolution Updating the City of Hayward's Legislative Program LB 21-053
Staff report submitted by City Manager McAdoo, dated January 18, 2022, was filed.
City Manager McAdoo introduced Management Analyst James who provided a synopsis of the staff report.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff regarding: the dedicated webpage for the Legislative Program which is found under the "Your Government - Legislative Program" section; the practice for the Mayor to submit a letter of support or opposition to a piece of legislation involves vetting by City staff to ensure it fits the City's approved legislative priorities, staff could also initiate a letter based on the City's lobbyist, and if not consistent with Council policy/direction, the item would be agendized for Council action; the practice for supporting ballot measures involves bringing it to Council for action and resolution; clarification about the process for submitting letters could be included in the Council Member Handbook under the Hayward Legislative Program section; in subsections C, D, and E of Section
1.9 Voting Rights, the City's position would be taken by ballot initiatives as opposed to legislation; and a process for incorporating comments when the Council may be divided on a particular legislation which might involve staff sending a draft letter to Council and allowing 48 hours to review or a member submitting a separate letter to highlight areas of concern.
There being no public comments, Mayor Halliday opened and closed the public comment section at 8:44 p.m.
Council Member Wahab indicated she understood the time sensitivity when sending urgent letters to legislators but appreciated the opportunity for members of the Council to review letters prior to sending them to ensure they include language/terms agreed upon by Council.
Council Member Lamnin made a motion, with two language recommendations: 1) amend Section 1.6 (E) as follows: "Support legislation... entities that provide vocational and supportive services and housing for people who are homeless, seniors, veterans and others with special needs."; and 2) amend Section 1.9 (A) to read as follows, "Support legislation... voting accessibility for voters who are elderly and/or have disabilities." Council Member Zermeño seconded the motion. In response to his suggestion to clarify the difference between a resolution and proclamation within the document, City Manager McAdoo indicated the Council Member Handbook addressed the different types of recognitions.
Council Member Andrews asked staff to ensure the terms used in the document were appropriate, for example the term "unhoused" v. "homeless." In response to Mayor Halliday's inquiry, Ms. James confirmed the Legislative Program was reviewed by members of the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) cohort. 12 | January 18, 2022

Mayor Halliday suggested replacing the Council priorities "clean" with "healthy" and "green" with "sustainable" and adding "equitable" to the list of priorities and recommended having them reviewed during the Strategic Roadmap work session and having the Legislative Program updated afterwards. Mayor Halliday also requested adding safety language to the Program and offered the following, "giving local government greater resources and authority to increase traffic and pedestrian safety."
Council Member Lamnin was amenable to the recommendation and suggested adding it to Section 1.4 as subsection "I". Council Member Zermeño concurred with the amendment.
Management Analyst James noted the new subsection "" would read, "Support measures that give local government more authority and resources to implement measures that improve pedestrian and traffic safety."
It was moved by Council Member Lamnin, seconded by Council Member Zermeño, and carried by the following roll call vote, to approve the resolution with three amendments to the Legislative Program: (1) amend Section 1.6(E) to read: "Support legislation that aids or helps to fund the City and/or non-profit entities that provide vocational services, support services and housing for people who are homeless, seniors, veterans and others with special needs.": (2) amend Section 1.9(A) to read: "Support legislation that establishes or expands early voting opportunities and increases physical accessibility for voters who are elderly or have disabilities."; and (3) amend Section 1.4 by adding sub-section (I) to read: "Support measures that give local government more authority and resources to implement measures that improve pedestrian and traffic safety."

Mayor Halliday noted the Council Sustainability Committee had reviewed and discussed the report, suggested that future bill examples show a reduction in water usage when comparing data from a prior year, and she thanked City staff and her colleagues on the Council Sustainability Committee, Council Members Zermeño and Márquez, for the work on the water bill design which will help residents make decisions about water use.
COUNCIL REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Council Member Wahab reported someone had observed that Kwanzaa was not included in the banners hanging in the City Hall Rotunda for the holiday season. Council Member Lamnin noted that banners were created by people who celebrated the specific holiday and while outreach was done, no one was identified for that holiday and asked to be contacted if there was a desire to make a banner.
