ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6.6
TO: Mayor and Town Council December 16, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 77-2025, approving out-of-state travel to attend the 2026
U.S. Conference of Mayors' Annual Winter Meeting and Annual Tri-
Valley Mayors' Legislative Briefings in Washington, D.C., January 26-30,
2026
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 Mayors' Legislative Briefings in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the U.S.
Conference of Mayors' Winter Meeting or the National League of Cities' Congressional
City Conference. The Tri-Valley Mayors (Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and
San Ramon) are expected to hold their legislative meetings the same week as the U.S.
Conference of Mayors' Winter Meeting, January 26-30, 2026. The U.S. Conference of
Mayors is the official non-partisan organization representing cities with populations of
30,000 or greater. The Winter Meeting brings hundreds of mayors together to focus on
policy issues that are important to local governments.
In the legislative briefings, the Tri-Valley Mayors advocate for funding and policy matters
of interest to Danville and the region. Past meetings with the region's congressional
representatives and decision-makers from federal agencies such as the Federal Highway
Administration, Economic Development Administration and Department of
Transportation 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.
