As District XI Legislative Representative it is
my responsibility to keep our members apprised of current state
& federal legislation CPRS is tracking due to its impact on
parks & recreation. Some of the proposed legislation may just
contain minor clarification points while others can have a
significant impact on your programs and/or operations depending
on their outcome. As an organization, CPRS seeks public policy
conditions that are favorable to your professional success and
for the advancement of parks & recreation services to all
Californians.
While it is important for each of our members to
stay apprised of legislature and our legislators it can be very
time consuming. That’s where the CPRS Legislature Committee
comes into play by focusing on establishing annual legislative
priorities, taking position(s) on proposed legislation,
testifying at legislative hearings, communicating to members
about CPRS legislative activities and tracking bills based on
our priorities. Lastly, their committee is charged with
increasing legislator awareness and increasing member knowledge.
In addition to legislative updates I will present at our Board
Meetings and for Valley
Views, I encourage each member to:
● Check the CPRS website’s legislation links to
stay informed and be prepared;
● Participate in the monthly Legislative
Conference Call with the next one
scheduled for Monday, July 14th, at 2 pm (call
or email me for details)
• Please contact me at any time if you have a
question please contact Julie Dorey at
jdorey@ci.ontario.ca.us
or by phone at (909) 382-2366.
