Mayor Matt Mahan and San José City Council
Toni Taber, City Clerk
200 E. Santa Clara St. San Jose, CA 95113
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council,
I am a recent, former employee of the City of San José, who served as Policy Director to Councilmember Cohen in the District 4 office for a total of three months. On October 24, 2022, 1 commenced a position at Canyon Snow Consulting, LLC as a Government Affairs Associate.
I am requesting a waiver of the remaining year and a half of my Revolving Door Prohibitions policy under Chapter 12.10.070, that concludes in October 2024, so that I can work with City Departments, Staff and the City's Elected Officials on behalf of our clients on issues that relate to crucial city matters. Our clients are working to elevate our community and serve San Jose in accordance with the City's equity goals. These clients include:
• The Wat Khmer Kampuchea Krom Temple
• The Special Olympics of Northern California
• The Ranked Choice Voting Coalition
• Glydways and Plenary, partnering with San Jose on the Diridon Airport Connector According to the policy under Chapter 12.10.070 the City Council may waive the Revolving Door Ordinance's two-year prohibition, "if the council or board finds a waiver is in the best interest of the city or agency."
I believe that the aforementioned work is consistent with a waiver and would allow me in my current capacity as the Government Affairs Associate for Canyon Snow Consulting, LLC to support the city and the constituents of San José.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
All my best,
Allie Hughes
