the City of Poway and Redevelopment Agency
BACKGROUND
The City of Poway and Poway Redevelopment Agency have contracted with Bob Wilson to
provide lobbying services since June 1993. Staff has been satisfied with the
services provided during the term of the contract.
FINDINGS
Experience has taught us that having a voice in Sacramento is vital to the City of
Poway and Poway Redevelopment Agency. In addition to the excellent representation
that the City and Agency have received from Assemblyman Goldsmith and Senator David
Kelley, Mr. Wilson's services have been utilized in dealing with housing reform
measures, incidence of interagency cooperation on matters such as funding and
management of Blue Sky Ecological Reserve, and most recently. to work toward the
passage of SB 602 (Wright) related to the reallocation use tax on leased vehicles.
It is anticipated that the need for the assistance of a qualified lobbyist will
continue for at least another year.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This agreement is not subject to CEQA review.
FISCAL IMPACT
The continuance of this agreement has been provided for in the proposed Fiscal Year
1995/1996 budget of the City of Poway and Poway Redevelopment Agency which will
