STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Town Council approve Mayor Furst's request for the Town of Corte Madera to sign on to the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda statement in response to the President's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and join the Climate Mayors Network. TOWN MANAGER' S RECOMMENDATION: Support staff s recommendation DISCUSSION: The Mayors National Climate Action Agenda (MNCAA or Climate Mayors) consists of mayors from across the country committed to working on climate change and strengthening local efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative is currently led by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. Mayor Furst is requesting that the Town of Corte Madera join Climate Mayors and participate in this collaborative effort. As of June 13, 2017, over 300 cities throughout the country are currently part of this networking group; regionally, local municipal participants include Alameda, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Healdsburg, Napa, Oakland, Petaluma, Richmond, St. Helena, San Francisco and Santa Rosa, among over twenty other municipalities in the greater Bay Area. Mayors and municipalities that join this initiative commit to: l. Calling for binding emission reductions at the US federal level as well as a global emission reductions agreement; 5.I.v 2. Engaging in and supporting activities leading up to and during the 2015 negotiations in Paris to support the Obama Administration and other parties to create a global agreement; 3. Establishing and regularly reporting annually or bi-annually a municipal and community- wide greenhouse gas inventory (preferably with third party verification), while supporting standardization of municipal and community-wide inventories and reporting; 4. Establishing, or renewing, an existing aggressive greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for both the near term (i.e., by 2020 or sooner) and long term (e.g., 80% reductions by 20s0); 5. Developing, or updating, a community climate action plan, which identifies specific strategies for meeting the emissions reduction target as well as tying mitigation with adaptation measures where possible; 6. Committing to finding an appropriate offset project(s), working collectively to remove barriers, and expanding offsets available to municipalities offered by the Climate Action Reserve, and other measures through the Califomia cap and trade system (or other existing system); 7. Ensuring climate equity and environmental justice is prioritizedin climate action plans. Collectively, the efforts detailed above will be called, "the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda." Most recently, the Climate Mayors released an open letter to President Trump to oppose his actions against climate action. A copy of the letter is included as Attachment 1. There are no binding commitments for being a Climate Mayor member, so long as cities are working towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Participating agencies may occasionally be invited to take part in joint letters and various initiatives, such as purchasing electric vehicles, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Regular meetings are held with staff from respective participating cities to discuss progress regarding local efforts. F'ISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to become a member of the Climate Mayors Network. Initiatives or projects that may initiate fiscal consideration in the future will be brought forward to the Town Council for review and action. REQUESTED ACTION That the Town Council approve Mayor Furst's request for the Town of Corte Madera to sign the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda statement to the President and join the Climate Mayors Network.

    May 12, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 RE: Temporarily Expand SNAP in the Next Federal COVID-19 Relief Package to Lift Up Vulnerable Families and Support Local Economies Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leaders McConnell, Schumer, and McCarthy: We, the undersigned mayors representing cities across the nation, appreciate your work on the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to help workers, employers, older Americans, and children, but much more needs to be done to ensure that our residents can weather this crisis. During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

  • A 10-Year Perspective of the Merger of Louisville and Jefferson County, KY: Louisville Metro Vaults from 65Th Th to 18 Largest City in the Nation
    A 10-Year Perspective of the Merger of Louisville and Jefferson County, KY: Louisville Metro Vaults From 65th th to 18 Largest City in the Nation Jeff Wachter September, 2013 Over the past 50 years, the idea of merging a city with its neighboring or surrounding county has been contemplated in many American cities, voted upon in a few, and enacted in even fewer. The most prominent American mergers have been Jacksonville, FL; Indianapolis, IN; Nashville, TN; and Lexington, KY. Other cities—including Pittsburgh, PA and Memphis, TN— have attempted mergers, but failed at various stages in the process. City/county consolidation has been a controversial topic, with advocates and opponents pointing to different metrics that support their expectations for the consequences of a merger. Louisville, KY, which merged with Jefferson County on January 1st, 2003, is the most recent example of a city/county consolidation executed by a major American city. This report examines how Louisville Metro has performed over the past decade since the merger took effect by analyzing the city’s economy, population, government spending and efficiency, and public opinion about the merger. In the late 1990s, business and political leaders came together in an attempt to address some of the issues facing the Louisville region, including a long declining population and tax- base, escalating government spending, and multiple economic development organizations fighting to recruit the same businesses (often to the detriment of the greater Louisville region at- large). These leaders determined that a merger of the Louisville and Jefferson County governments was in the best interests of the region, despite the contentious nature of merger debates.

  • The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role Did Race Play?
    The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role did Race Play? Reynolds Farley* University of Michigan at Michigan Perhaps no city in the United States has a longer and more vibrant history of racial conflict than Detroit. It is the only city where federal troops have been dispatched to the streets four times to put down racial bloodshed. By the 1990s, Detroit was the quintessential “Chocolate City-Vanilla Suburbs” metropolis. In 2013, Detroit be- came the largest city to enter bankruptcy. It is an oversimplification and inaccurate to argue that racial conflict and segregation caused the bankruptcy of Detroit. But racial issues were deeply intertwined with fundamental population shifts and em- ployment changes that together diminished the tax base of the city. Consideration is also given to the role continuing racial disparity will play in the future of Detroit after bankruptcy. INTRODUCTION The city of Detroit ran out of funds to pay its bills in early 2013. Emergency Man- ager Kevyn Orr, with the approval of Michigan Governor Snyder, sought and received bankruptcy protection from the federal court and Detroit became the largest city to enter bankruptcy. This paper explores the role that racial conflict played in the fiscal collapse of what was the nation’s fourth largest city. In June 1967 racial violence in Newark led to 26 deaths and, the next month, rioting in Detroit killed 43. President Johnson appointed Illinois Governor Kerner to chair a com- mission to explain the causes of urban racial violence. That Commission emphasized the grievances of blacks in big cities—segregated housing, discrimination in employment, poor schools, and frequent police violence including the questionable shooting of nu- merous African American men.

  • Memorandum To: Interested Parties From: Future Majority Subject: This Week in the States Three Things to Know This Week That
    Memorandum To: Interested parties From: Future Majority Subject: This week in the states Three things to know this week that happened outside the Beltway: • In Wisconsin, Democrats expected Appeals Court Judge Lisa Neubauer to easily win a seat on the state Supreme Court against Republican Appeals Court Judge Brian Hagedorn on April 2. Hagedorn was hammered earlier this year for extreme and anti-gay comments and was abandoned by some of the GOP establishment, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Wisconsin Realtors Association. As of Thursday, however, Neubauer was down 5,800 votes to Hagedorn, who claimed victory. Hagedorn portrayed Neubauer as a socialist and was helped by a $1 million independent expenditure by the Republican State Leadership Committee, which ran ads calling Neubauer “Liberal Lisa”, with Trump praising Hagedorn and suggesting radical out of state interests were trying to take down Hagedorn like they tried to take down Brett Kavanaugh. Hagedorn was helped by a 20% increase in Republican voter turnout. Political observers are crediting Hagedorn’s strong showing to an awake Trump base.

    April 8, 2021 The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Senate Pro Tempore Assembly Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Nancy Skinner The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Senate Budget Committee Chair, Assembly Budget Committee State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear President Pro Tempore Atkins, Speaker Rendon and Budget Chairs Skinner and Ting, We appreciate your willingness to meet with us, and to continue your partnership with the mayors of our largest cities in finding pragmatic solutions to address our state’s homelessness crisis. Given the scale of the challenge we collectively face, and because of the extraordinary opportunity created by two unique circumstances--the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the state’s budget surplus--we write to revisit our prior budget request. As you know, we have long believed that the state must identify an ongoing, consistent allocation of flexible funding sufficient to meet the enormity of the challenge in our cities for affordable housing construction and supportive services. While our economic challenges make it difficult to identify an ongoing revenue source, the large amount of one-time funding presents a generational opportunity to make a dramatic move to address our homelessness crisis. That can be accomplished by setting aside a one-time allocation of $16 billion for a steady expenditure of $4 billion per year over the next four years. Through our partnership, we’ve accomplished much in our cities in recent years through such initiatives as Project Homekey, HHAP, and HEAP. We created permanent or transitional housing for our homeless at an average cost to the state of $148,000 per unit under Project Homekey, for instance, and we built prefabricated dorms, modular housing, tiny homes, and shelters even more cost-effectively with state and local dollars.
