In addition, we will work with the City to shape and influence bills by: <br />• Scheduling calls and meetings with the congressional delegation offices and committee staff <br />• Drafting supporting materials for the City to send to the committees and delegation <br />• Drafting legislation language and amendments for the City's priorities <br />• Using our relationships with committee staff to provide real time updates on amendments, committee <br />markups and hearings <br />H. Monthly Reports <br />We will provide monthly reports to you on the political landscape in Washington and on developments <br />impacting the City's priorities. In addition, we will provide weekly and real-time updates on developments <br />as they occur. <br />As a matter of practice, we schedule weekly calls with our clients to provide updates. In many cases, we <br />communicate more frequently through email or more formal communications. This approach allows us to <br />understand your evolving needs and priorities, making us more effective in representing you. <br />Some of the following have been mentioned previously in this proposal but the entire list of client <br />communications includes: <br />• Monthly reports with the status of legislative, regulatory and public affairs initiatives we are <br />addressing for the City at the direction of the Office of the Mayor <br />• Regular appearances before the Council's Legislative committee <br />• Weekly "Week Ahead" and "Eyes on Washington" updates, which offer our clients the latest <br />information on key developments in Congress and the Executive Branch <br />• Weekly grant notifications that provide our clients with information regarding recently announced <br />federal grant opportunities <br />• A comprehensive tracker providing information on all the grant opportunities included in the <br />Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act <br />If selected, we can tailor these updates to meet your schedule and needs. We offer this because, as <br />stated before, close communication among our team members and our clients is a hallmark of Holland & <br />Knight's work. In fact, we encourage you to reach out to us beyond scheduled calls or visits because we <br />know that important issues arise beyond the normal workday. This way you feel a part of our day-to-day <br />advocacy efforts and are always up to speed on our activities and progress. <br />FPPC Filings <br />If selected for this assignment, Holland & Knight will assure timely filings of all necessary reports and will <br />notify the City of any relevant and pertinent changes. <br />Holland & Knight Confidential Presentation for City of Santa Ana 17 <br />
