Staff has conferred with department heads on recommended updates to the County’s Advocacy Policies (Att. B and C). Proposed updates were more extensive than in prior years, reflecting emerging issues and other policy changes. Below are the 2023 Priorities and status updates:
| Priority Area | Status Update |
| Monitor funding programs and allocations included within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act to receive a fair share of funding to address critical infrastructure and public service needs, particularly in disadvantaged communities | Staff continues to work closely with our federal advocate to monitor grant opportunities. The County also recently retained a grant-writing consultant who will assist in identifying and writing grants for all departments. |
| In conjunction with CSAC and other partners, advocate to ensure a long-term sustainable funding source for forthcoming CARE Court service mandates |
Staff will continue to monitor CARE Court implementation and other recent policy changes, such as SB 43, to ensure long-term sustainable funding. |
For 2024, staff is recommending the following Legislative Priorities:
- Proactively engage on state budget issues to protect county revenue streams and prevent cost-shifting and/or unfunded mandates from the state
- Analyze emerging industry trends and take necessary actions to ensure Yolo County receives the appropriate share of Bradley-Burns sales tax
Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)
The 2024 Intergovernmental Advocacy Policy and Advocacy Priorities were previously approved by the Board Legislative Ad Hoc Subcommittee.
