ESTABLISHMENT OF REGULAR MEETINGS In order to comply with the new Brown Act amendment, the Committee discussed establishing regularly scheduled meeting dates. There was discussion around meeting the second Monday before each Council meeting; however, there is a conflict with the upcoming Monday. The Committee agreed to schedule the next meeting for February 14 at 12:15 p.m. and asked staff to prepare a calendar of dates to bring back for discussion and approval. 2. CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR ISTEA LEGISLATION OPPORTUNITIES E. Del Smith and Company, Inc. made a presentation to the Committee to provide lobbying expertise to the City of Bakersfield at the federal level. Staff advised the Committee to have the full Council take action on this item because funds would have to be appropriated. The Committee directed the City Manager to bring a recommendation back to the Committee as to how this item should be addressed, including suggestions for funding. Mr. Smith will set up appointments with Councilmembers not on the Committee as well as with the City Manager the next time he is in town. In addition, the Committee noted that in the near term, the City should have representation in Washington, D.C., to monitor and lobby our position on ISTEA.
