(CPPG) Effective Date of October 1, 2024 <br />Dear Ms. Stevenson Diaz: <br /> <br />In May 2019, the Renne Public Law Group (RPLG) launched Sacramento-based Renne Public Policy <br />Group (RPPG) to provide public sector clients with non-legal services including legislative advocacy and <br />grant writing. Since then, RPPG has dramatically expanded its client base and staff, delivering high-level <br />services across California. <br /> <br />We are pleased to report that RPPG and RPLG leadership have now agreed upon a plan to spin RPPG off <br />as a separate corporation, forming the California Public Policy Group (CPPG). This move will allow RPPG <br />employees an opportunity to gain ownership in the new entity while maintaining a partnership with <br />RPLG—unified in our commitment to public sector representation. This move will also allow RPPG the <br />opportunity to continue its growth and better serve its clients. <br /> <br />To that end, we are jointly notifying our clients to ensure a smooth transition from RPLG to CPPG for the <br />non-legal work currently being performed by RPPG.

All staff members currently assigned to perform work outlined in our professional services <br />agreement will become employees of CPPG effective Tuesday, October 1, 2024. CPPG will retain the same <br />Sacramento office location as well as the same contact information (e.g., emails, telephone number etc.). <br />Service(s) Currently Being Performed: <br /> <br />The City of Redwood City is currently under contract with RPLG for the following non-legal services: <br />• State Legislative Advocacy <br />• Grant Writing and Research <br />Per the terms of our professional service agreement with the City of Redwood City we respectfully <br />request that you approve—in writing—the assignment of your current service contract(s) <br />enumerated above from Renne Public Law Group, LLP to California Public Policy Group Inc.
