RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 16-18, 2024 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 18, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 25. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 25, 2024
31 For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 25. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

General Assembly Voting Guidelines
1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.
2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.
3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.
4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.
5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.
6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.
33 Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General

AGENDA ITEM:
Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-__: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Lease Agreement Between the City of Suisun City and Bulldog Baseball & Softball Club for Field Use at the Lambrecht Sports Complex.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will have a positive impact on the City providing rental income of $52,800 over the next two years, $26,400 in FY24/25 and $26,400 in FY25/26 for the use of field 2 and additional revenue will be collected with the need of supplemental fields at the rate of $50 (fifty dollars) per weekday or $300 (three hundred) per day on weekend and holidays.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Provide Good Governance.
BACKGROUND:
The Bulldog Baseball and Softball Club is an organization designed for young athletes. Their purpose is to develop lifelong skills, both on and off the baseball field, by encouraging integrity, sportsmanship, strong work ethic, and to emphasize the importance of being a positive role model. They challenge young players to help them understand the meaning of personal sacrifice for themselves, as well as for others. The Bulldog Baseball and Softball Club has a responsibility to represent and uphold integrity, fair play, and proper sportsmanship during any type of athletic competition and extra-curricular activity. They are aware of the impact their behavior has on players and parents, as well as the fans. They strive to teach players the fundamentals of the game and the importance of character, leadership, and teamwork, by teaching the athletes the significance of a strong work ethic, working through adversity, the importance of maintaining a positive environment on the field, in the dugout and in the stands, and how to respect the game and its participants. The Bulldog Baseball and Softball Club believes that we all gain valuable knowledge from every experience on or off the field, and we apply that knowledge to future opportunities. Youth play this game to have fun, challenge themselves, and make every effort to do their best at all times.
STAFF REPORT:
The Recreation, Parks, and Marina Department is dedicated to working with various sports organizations from throughout Solano County and to providing opportunities for Suisun City youth to participate in athletics in their own community. This agreement provides advanced level baseball and softball opportunities at the Lambrecht Sports Complex.
The Little League currently operates and maintains four fields at the Complex under a separate agreement with the City of Suisun City. The Lease Agreement between the City of Suisun City and Bulldog Baseball and Softball does not impact this agreement.
Programs coordinated by the City, such as Junior Giants, adult softball leagues, softball tournaments, soccer use, other use leases, and baseball tournaments, will still occur and this agreement will have no effect on those activities being scheduled at the sports complex.
The Bulldog Baseball and Softball Club has been leasing field 2 for the past two years. They have shown to be exemplary tenants, providing advanced level baseball and softball opportunities and fulfilling requirements stated in the previous lease agreement. 41 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Acceptance by Landlord of delivery of any certificates of insurance does not constitute approval or agreement by Landlord that the insurance requirements of this section have been met, and failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence provided will not be 50 01107.0020/661027.8 7
construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance. In the event any of the insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease are cancelled prior to the expiration date of such policy, or if Tenant receives notice of any cancellation of such insurance policies from the insurer prior to the expiration date of such policy, Tenant shall (a) immediately deliver notice to Landlord that such insurance has been, or is to be, cancelled, (b) shall promptly replace such insurance policy in order to assure no lapse of coverage occurs, and (c) shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance for such replacement policy. The insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder are only Landlord’s minimum insurance requirements, and Tenant agrees and understands that such insurance requirements may not be sufficient to fully meet Tenant’s insurance needs. .Copies of all policies of insurance and proof that they are in effect shall be provided to Landlord prior to the Effective Date. Tenant shall comply with additional insurance requirements that Landlord may impose from time to time. Tenant shall be solely responsible to maintain any other insurance for its protection.
11.2. Indemnity. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, and its officers, employees, invitees and agents (“ Landlord Parties ”) from and against any and all claims, actions, costs, expenses, judgments, awards, liabilities, penalties and demands whatsoever, together with reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs (collectively “ Damages”) arising out of or concerning the activities of Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, injury or death or damage to persons or property of the Landlord Parties, Tenant or others, occurring in, on or about the Leased Premises and any resulting from hazardous materials brought to the Leased Premises by or on behalf of Tenant by any of its officers, employees, invitees or agents; provided, that Tenant’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless not extend to Damages caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties. If any action or proceeding in connection with any such matters is brought against the Landlord Parties, notice shall be given to Tenant and Tenant shall be furnished with a copy of any papers served.
In the event any action or proceeding is brought against any Landlord Parties by reason of any of the foregoing matters, Tenant shall, upon written notice from the Landlord Parties, defend the Landlord Parties, at Tenant’s sole expense, by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Parties. However, Landlord shall have the right to chose to defend any such action or proceeding for itself, employing legal counsel selected by it. As between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall not be responsible or liable in any way for the presence of any toxic or hazardous materials on the Leased Premises, including compliance with any requirements imposed by applicable governmental authorities. Termination of this Lease notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section shall continue in full force and effect as to any claims or other matter listed therein, without limitation in time by virtue or any other provisions of this Lease. Any acceptance by the Landlord of insurance certificates and endorsements does not relieve Tenant from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause also shall apply whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to be applicable to any of such damages or claims for damages.
12. Assignment and Subleasing. Tenant shall not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

expertise to operate the Snack Bar;(iv) no amount is paid by assignee to Tenant for the assignment or there is no sublease rent paid to Tenant in excess of the amounts required to be paid under this Lease to Landlord; and (v) proof of insurance as set forth in Section 11. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

Upon any such termination of Tenant’s possessory interest in and to the Premises, Tenant (and at Landlord’s sole election, Tenant’s sublessees) shall no longer have any interest in the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to make any reasonable repairs, alterations or modifications to the Premises which Landlord in its sole discretion deems reasonable and necessary.

The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in subparagraph (C) above is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). In addition, any notice required to be given by Landlord under this 53 01107.0020/661027.8 10

f. Effect of Termination. Neither the termination of this Lease nor the exercise of any remedy under this Lease or otherwise available at law or in equity will affect Landlord’s rights of indemnification set forth in this Lease or otherwise available at law or in equity for any act or omission of Tenant, and all rights to indemnification and other obligations of Tenant intended to be performed after termination or expiration of this Lease shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.

c. Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease. Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its agents from any liability whatsoever to Tenant arising out of or in connection with any default or other wrongful act by Landlord or its agents under this Lease.

Mr. Bret Prebula,
City Manager, Suisun City
701 Civic Center Blvd.
Suisun City, CA 94585
Dear Mr. Prebula,
Thank you for the opportunity for Joe A. Gonsalves and Son to submit our proposal for Legislative and Regulatory Advocacy Services to Suisun City. We are honored to provide the attached proposal introducing you, and the Suisun City Council, to our firm.
Our strategic approach to advocacy is custom tailored to the unique needs of each of our clients by utilizing our 47 years of experience and relationships with Legislator's, the Administration and stakeholders. Our advocacy will embrace and help protect Suisun City's mission to provide a safe, healthy, inclusive community through a tailored-made approach unique to Suisun City. Our firm will assist in the City's goals to provide an exceptional quality of life where residents and businesses prosper, and visitors feel welcome.
Joe A. Gonsalves & Son is a family firm that provides non-partisan legislative advocacy before the Governor, the Administration, the California State Legislature, and various State regulatory agencies. The Gonsalves family's participation in the legislative process dates back to 1962 when our founder, Joe Gonsalves, was sworn in as the first member of the California State Assembly from Portuguese ancestry. Joe served in the State Assembly until 1974 and, in 1975, he founded Joe A. Gonsalves & Son. Prior to that, he served as a Dairy Valley Council Member, including two years as Mayor of the city of Dairy Valley, which is now the city of Cerritos.
Our firm intentionally does not divide up workload. We have three full time lobbyists in our firm and each lobbyist is fully engaged in our representation of your City. Our entire firm intentionally uses the same gonsalvesr(,,!!onsalvi.com email address. We do this in order to make sure each member of our firm is aware of the issues of importance as we coordinate our efforts.
Whenever we take on an issue, all three lobbyists actively advocate on your behalf. We are a family firm with three lobbyists, Anthony Gonsalves, and his two sons, Jason and Paul Gonsalves. As with most family businesses you can safely assume the organizational structure, with one significant difference, we consider each and every one of our clients to be "the boss". 70 I have enclosed a list of our present clients. As you can see, we represent a large number of cities. We believe our base of client cities has provided us the unique opportunity to work with each member of the Legislature. Recognizing the number of Legislators coming out of local governments, we have established relationships prior to them being elected to the Legislature. In addition, I have enclosed an outline of both our legislative and grant funding accomplishments.
Please note, this is a partial list as it would be impossible to fully communicate the level of success we have enjoyed in representing our clients over the past 47 years.
Our firm charges a retainer on a monthly basis and contains a 30-day cancellation clause, as we are confident in our ability to provide your City with an unparalleled level of service. The retainer is all inclusive of the services we would provide for the City. We do not charge for any additional costs unless you require us to meet outside of Sacramento. Please note, our contract lists our scope of services in very general terms. We purposely do this to ensure that each client has the flexibility to request any assistance you may require in Sacramento, such as setting up meetings with the appropriate legislators, Governor's office or the various state departments.
Should you have any changes you would like to make in the contract, please feel free to discuss those with me.
We represent a very distinguished group of clients other than cities. For example, Long Beach Transit, providing transit services throughout the Long Beach region; and Access Services, the only paratransit service provider in Los Angeles County. In addition, we represent 29 Palms Band of Mission Indians, a leader amongst tribal governments. I strongly believe it is this blend of special people who assist us in being as effective as we are.
Our firm operates on a very personal and professional level, always working hard to accomplish our clients' goals. The late Senator, Ken Maddy, coined our firm the "Gonsalvi". When asked what he meant by the nickname, Senator Maddy responded, "you're like alumni, when you guys are working an issue you are everywhere". Still today the members of the Legislature refer to us as "the Gonsalvi".
I would recommend you contact any Legislator and ask them about our firm. In addition, we encourage you to discuss our representation with our clients. We want you to know that we would be honored to represent Suisun City as your legislative advocates. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

71 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our firm lists our scope of services in very general terms. We purposely do this to ensure that each client has the flexibility to request any assistance you may require in Sacramento, such as setting up meetings with the appropriate legislators, Governor's office or the various state departments.
Our firm will work cooperatively with the City's management team to review, learn and provide advice on the City's legislative priorities. We have years of experience reviewing and advising our local government clients on their Legislative Platforms in order to shape them around the City Councils priorities. Our firm will assist the City in reviewing and guiding the legislative priorities, outlined by the City Council, for the current year and outyears, along with providing the management team with draft letters and resolutions that reflect the City's legislative priorities. This will help ensure we have direction from the City, which will assist our firm in providing a strategy to accomplish the City's priorities and goals.
Advocacy:
Our firm actively monitors, reviews and participates in the daily activities of the Capitol and the State Agencies. We receive a copy of every bill introduced and each set of amendments. We will read each bill and the amendments and send those that we feel may be of interest to your city. In addition, as the legislative proposals develop, we provide you with fact sheets and analysis of the bills that may affect you. We provide your City a "weekly report" with the status of all bills either watched, supported and/or opposed by your City.
Additionally, we actively sponsor bills on behalf of our client's as well as maintain a constant line of communication with the Members of the Legislature and their staff to ensure we are apprised of upcoming proposals. Our firm will assist in preparing written correspondence on any/all issues of importance to the City. That said, we do not unilaterally adopt positions on behalf of the City. We work very closely with the City's management team under the direction of the City Council.
Whenever your City sponsors or adopts a position on legislation and/or proposed regulations, we cover all bases. We meet with the Author's office, the Committee Consultants (both Democrat and Republican), Legislative Leadership, Governor's office, all pertinent stakeholders, and provide testimony in each Committee in order to ensure your City's position is known and ultimately supported. Additionally, we will assist the management team with draft letters of support, position statements, talking points and any additional advocacy that the issue requires.
Our firm will work closely with the City's management team under the direction of the City Council to develop strategies tailored to the specific issues. Every legislative policy has numerous strategies, proponents and opponents, and they all vary depending on the issue. Our firm will assist in identifying the most appropriate strategy for each issue and building coalitions with stakeholders that support the City's legislative and policy positions. 72 Funding:
Our firm proactively identifies any/all funding opportunities for your City and will provide you, on a quarterly basis, with a memo outlining all available grant funding from the State. Our firm will also assist you in developing your project proposals for each potential grant application.
Once the City has submitted an application, our firm will schedule a meeting with the Agency staff overseeing the project to discuss the City's project in greater detail and ensure the City's application meets all of the guidelines and requirements of the grant program. Additionally, we will work with your legislator's, Assemblymember Wilson and Senator Dodd, to obtain letters of support for your grant applications.
We recommend the city request our firm set-up a series of"action days" in Sacramento to meet with the various State Agencies overseeing the desired grant funding in an effort to craft a competitive proposal. This is also an opportunity to meet with Legislator's and Legislative Committees to seek their input and support on any funding the City is seeking. Likewise, this will provide an opportunity for the City to receive information and provide input on any funding opportunities that may be available or coming available.
In addition to grant funding, our firm will assist the City in developing and submitting "Members Request" for funding through the State Budget. We have been extremely successful in advocating for "Members Requests" on behalf of our clients. Please note, our attached funding accomplishments do not reflect Members Requests. Although our firm assists in the efforts for this funding, ultimately, it is your Legislator's that make the request and they deserve the credit.
Increased presence:
An invaluable part of achieving the City's goals and objectives is establishing a voice in Sacramento. Our firm will accomplish this by maintaining our relationships and communication with key policy makers on your behalf. We strongly recommend you request our firm to set up a series of "action days" in Sacramento to meet with legislator's, key committee members and staff, the Governor's office, and State Agencies to discuss the City's priorities.
Our firm will be present to represent Suisun City's positions on legislation in every pertinent committee, on the floors of both houses, and in front of any state agency overseeing an issue of importance to the City. This will ensure your priorities are heard while developing a presence in Sacramento on important local government issues.
Regulator v and Administrative:
The regulatory and administrative process are often the most time consuming and onerous part of advocacy. State Agencies within the State of California have continued to grow as the Legislature has provided many of them with new powers and responsibilities. Moreover, recent state budget investments and legislation have resulted in unprecedented amounts of funding for various projects. Our firm will monitor, analyze, participate and influence State Agencies with administrative actions of interest to the City. The process for regulations and funding guidelines will be handled in the same manner as legislative matters. We will work closely with the City to establish policy direction and we will take the necessary steps to best represent the City before the State Agencies.
73 Trackin2. and Reporting:
Our firm actively monitors, reviews and participates in the daily activities of the Capitol and the State Agencies. We receive a copy of every bill introduced and each set of amendments. We will read each bill and the amendments and send those that we feel may be of interest to your city. In addition, as the legislative proposals develop, we provide you with fact sheets and analysis of the bills that may affect you.
Our firm will provide your city with a weekly report, which we send out every Thursday or Friday, depending upon the legislative calendar. We tailor our weekly report to ensure it provides a specific update on the legislative proposals identified/adopted by your City Council.
Additionally, we will provide the City with a monthly written and oral report of legislative activity, as requested, either virtually or in person, as requested by the City. Furthermore, our firm will assist the City in the filing of all lobbyist and expenditure disclosure forms and reports in a timely manner.
Our firm maintains a constant line of communication with the Members of the Legislature and their staff to ensure we are apprised of upcoming proposals. Our firm will assist in preparing written correspondence on any/all issues of importance to the City. That said, we do not unilaterally adopt positions on behalf of the City. We work very closely with the City's management team under the direction of the City Council.
Relationship Building:
Our strategic approach to advocacy is custom tailored to the unique needs of each of our clients by utilizing our 4 7 years of experience and relationships with Legislator's, the Administration and stakeholders. As previously mentioned, we represent a large number of local governments, which provides us the unique opportunity to work with each member of the Legislature.
Recognizing the number of Legislators coming out of local governments, we have established relationships prior to them being elected to the Legislature.
Relationships and respect matter in Sacramento and we are extremely proud of the personal and professional relationships we have with the Executive Branch, State Agencies as well as the members of the Legislature. Our long-standing presence in Sacramento enables us to successfully represent your City. We encourage you to contact our clients and any member of the Legislature and ask them about our firm and the services we provide.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Our firm intentionally only considers new clients that will not conflict with our existing clients.
We have had numerous offers from Counties and large Cities to represent them in Sacramento, however, we always decline. Counties and large Cities do not have the same fiscal structure as our current client Cities and typically have different priorities. A majority of our client cities are small to medium size cities that rely heavily on sales tax and have specific issues that the large local government associations will not take on. We specialize in one-off issues related to your City and will utilize our base of client cities to be part of the solution. 74 In the extremely rare case that there is a conflict between any of our clients, we have successfully work with both clients to find a solution that works for both parties. In our Firm's 49 years of experience, we have only experienced 1 conflict amongst our clients. In that case, one client City introduced legislation to take over land use in another clients City, which made a conflict for all of our client cities. We tried to find an agreement between the 2 clients, however, we were unable to. Ultimately, the City that was trying to take over land use terminated our contract, our firm killed their bill in the Legislature, and the City reinstated our contract after the issue was resolved. Both Cities are clients today.
PROJECT TEAM INFORMATION
Our firm intentionally does not divide up workload. We have three full time lobbyists in our firm and each lobbyist is fully engaged in our representation of your Agency. As an example, when a sponsored bill is being heard in committee, we will have each of us in committee. One ofus will provide testimony, one may be meeting with Members and/or staff in their offices, and one will likely be pulling a member out of committee to request their support. It is very difficult for one lobbyist to actually lobby an entire committee alone. All three of us will be available for the duration of the Scope of Work.
As you know, we are a family firm with three lobbyists, Anthony Gonsalves (father), and his two sons, Jason and Paul Gonsalves. As with most family businesses you can safely assume the organizational structure, with one significant difference, we consider each and every one of our clients to be "the boss".
Personnel:
• Anthony D. Gonsalves - President: (47 years)
• Jason A. Gonsalves - Vice President: (26 years)
• Paul A. Gonsalves - Lobbyist: (20 years)
• Sasha Spangler - Office Assistant (21 years)
• Stacey Scam bray - Office Assistant (7 Years)

Dear Jason,
As you are aJJ Loo familiar, the dissolution ofredeYdopment hit West Covina very hard. For these past few years, we have been fortunate to have had such a great relationship with you and your family's finn.
I ain convinced that if it was not for your involvement and advocacy for our community, we would not have our Finding of Completion, approval of our Long Range Property Management Plan, and a repayment schedule on the $11.5 miIJion settlement. It is very possible that West Covina cou]d have been on the brink of bankruptcy, if you had not convince the Department of Finance that our new City Council and City Manager were committed to resolving the issues of the past.
As we move forward, it is rewarding to know that you wiH be at our side, as we seek repayment of our former Redev elopment Agency/City Joans and to resolve the remaining ROPS issues that _ we need to complete. Once this is all done, we can finally focus on the JegisJative priorities of interest to West Covina.
On behalf of the City of West Covina, I wish to thank you and the Gonsalves Family for over IO years of friendship and dedicated service to our community. I look forward to many more! Sincerely,

Dear Jason,
City Manager

Roseville, California 95678
I wanted to thank you for your excellent work concerning Roseville's meetings with the California Department of Finance (DOF) to discuss the City's 2016- 17 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) Determination. Because of your outstanding relationship with the DOF we had the opportunity to meet with the department on several occasions regarding their determination of our ROPS. Your guidance, insights and refined understanding of the most recent redevelopment dissolution "clean-up" legislation were critical to the positive outcome of the meetings, which resulted in the DOF approving the repayment of more than $7 million of redevelopment loans to the City, which they initially had disapproved.
As the City was developing its response to the DOF's initial determination, some individuals were recommending the City should bring a lawsuit against the DOF instead of attempting to resolve the concerns through the "Meet and Confer" process. However, staff chose to follow your recommendation to work with DOF and attempt to resolve the issue in a non litigious manner. Our staff was confident in your recommendation because of the outstanding relationship staff has with you and the entire Gonsalves & Son organization.
We knew we could rely on the strong ;nteractions you have with DOF and your tremendous understanding of the dissolution law to anticipate a successful outcome. I am very pleased that we once again followed your valuable advice, which resulted in such a noteworthy outcome for our City.
I realize the entire Redevelopment Dissolution process has been wrought with many difficulties over the years. However, we have found the process to be less problematic than many other municipalities, in part, due to your recommendations and help with understanding the implicatiot1s and outcomes of legislation and assh�tance with DOF. We appreciate the outstanding work you continue to provide to Roseville in understanding and effectively working with the legislature, state departments, agencies and state widG organizations.
Sincerely,

Allen,
Thank you for your responses to the email I forwarded you from Assm. Brown's office.
As we discussed last week, my understanding is the Mayor and/or his office Assm. Brown requesting her assistance with Secretary Laird and CalFire.
That said, I share your belief that politics could impede solutions and based upon the responses the Assm. Received from Calf ire they do not seem interested in being part of a solution.
Assuming you are in agreement? I will thank the Assm.
for her support and let her know there is nothing more we need at this time as the City will continue working with the local stakeholders and the Court.
In addition, please know Supervisors Hagman, Gonzalez and Rutherford are all former clients and personal friends. In addition, Supervisor Rutherford's new COS, Andy Takata is a former CM, client and friend. If and when you feel we can assist you with the County please do not hesitate to contact me.
Happy New Year and here's to a successful and less stressful 2015! Sincerely,
Jason
