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
For the past 19 years, as part of their mayoral duties, the mayor has participated in the Tri-
Valley Cities federal advocacy trip to Washington D.C. In the legislative briefings, the Tri-
Valley Mayors advocate for projects and legislation of interest to Danville and the region.
Past meetings with the region’s congressional representative and decision-makers from
federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of Energy have led to successful
federal funding of local projects.
The legislative advocacy this year will be led by Townsend Public Affairs, who represents
the Tri-Valley on regional, state and federal advocacy issues.
