<br />7A <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />'Mobllehome Vacancy Decontrol' Continued from Page 1... <br /> <br />AB 1309 would have undercut the authority of local rent control ordinances for mobilehome parks, <br />which would result in cities losing an important source of affordable housing. <br /> <br />The author did not take the bill up for a vote in the Assembly most likely due to lack of support. In <br />order to have moved to the Senate, AB 1309 would have needed to pass off the Assembly floor <br />by Jan. 31. Because the bill was never taken up for a floor vote, it automatically died. <br /> <br />The League wishes to thank everyone who called their legislator to ask for an .oppose" on this <br />controversial bill, <br /> <br />Nominate an Outstanding Leader for the 2008 California Civic Leadership Institute <br /> <br />The nomination process is open for the League's 2008 Califomia Civic Leadership Institute <br />(CCLI). Now in its fourth year, CCLI is an educational program focused on key state level issues <br />for elected city officials who are interested in pursuing state office in the future. <br /> <br />Last year, 15 city officials participated in top-notch programs led by prominent leaders and <br />experts in public policy and politics in Califomia. Because of the program's impact, CCU has <br />been expanded for 2008 to offer more sessions throughout the year, including sessions open to <br />CCLI alumni. <br /> <br />Program Details <br /> <br />Presented by the League Partners Program, CCLI exposes city officials to a variety of complex <br />statewide priorities including transportation, housing, impact of increasing energy demand on our <br />growing state, tribal issues and disaster preparedness, The program is designed to give local <br />leaders a broad, in-depth understanding of critical issues affecting the state, illuminate the <br />invaluable tools they will need to succeed if elected to the Legislature, and provide a forum where <br />lasting bonds can be created among California's rising leaders. <br /> <br />Instead of just a standard classroom program, CCLI features informal roundtable discussions and <br />takes partiCipants out in the field. The program includes a tour of Big Creek, Southern Califomia <br />Edison's hydro-electric facility, giving participants the opportunity to see first hand how electricity <br />is generated and moved throughout the state. <br /> <br />This year's program is ideal for those already within leadership roles at the League, or for anyone <br />interested in becoming a statewide advocate of local government. <br /> <br />Nomination Process <br /> <br />Any mayor, council member or professional city staff may nominate a current elected city official <br />to participate in cell.
