TO: Mayor and Town Council August 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 51-2021, approving out-of-state travel to attend the 2021 U.S.
Conference of Mayors’ 89th Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas, August 31 –
September 4, 2021
BACKGROUND
On February 21, 2006, the Town Council approved Resolution No. 17-2006, approving the
Town of Danville Expense Reimbursement Policy. This policy outlines the policies and
procedures pertaining to travel by the Town's elected and appointed officials. The policy
states that "international and out-of-state travel for any event or activity requires prior
approval by the Town Council.”
DISCUSSION
The role of the Mayor includes participating in the annual Tri-Valley Mayors' Legislative
Briefings in Washington, D.C., in conjunction with the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Winter
Meeting. This event typically occurs during the month of January. The U.S. Conference of
Mayors is a non-partisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or greater. This
year, due to COVID – 19, the briefing was postponed, and the Mayor did not attend the
winter meeting. The legislative briefings will now take place virtually during the month of
August.
The Mayor now has an opportunity to attend the U.S. Conference of Mayors 89th Annual
Conference which will take place in Austin, Texas, August 31 – September 4, 2021. The
conference will bring together hundreds of mayors to focus on policy issues that are
important to local governments. The conference program is focused on advocacy, best
practices, economic development, outreach and promoting local government and
establishing connecting with other mayors. The Mayor will provide a report on the
conference to the Town Council at the September 7, 2021 Town Council meeting.
