Scope of Work <br /> ■ Grass-Tops and Grass-Roots Engagement: Manatt advises on effective engagement with grassroots <br /> advocates and influential leaders to advance the City's legislative and regulatory goals. <br /> Regular Communications/Updates From Manatt <br /> Regular check-in calls will be scheduled to keep the City informed about ongoing activities and provide <br /> relevant information regarding federal priorities, as well as weekly updates on significant developments in <br /> Congress and the executive branch. <br /> Annual Federal Agenda Document <br /> Manatt will assist the City in drafting, monitoring, and updating its federal agenda. We will identify key <br /> legislative, political and budgetary factors that could impact proposed projects or issues and outline <br /> potential challenges and opportunities for success. <br /> Official Visits to (and From) Washington, D.C. <br /> When the Mayor or representatives from the City visit Washington, D.C., Manatt will help arrange <br /> congressional, White House and agency meetings. This includes helping with the logistics, drafting <br /> briefing materials and talking points, and helping to"staff' congressional and federal agency staff to be <br /> prepared to meet with City officials. <br /> Manatt will help make arrangements necessary for D.C. visits, including: <br /> ■ Securing meetings with House and Senate members and their staff, the White House, key federal <br /> agency officials, stakeholders and potential coalition partners. <br /> ■ Assisting with advance work, including developing talking points, briefing materials, position papers, <br /> and justification packets. <br /> ■ Participating in meetings to provide support and guidance. <br /> ■ Assisting with follow-up after the visit to ensure that efforts on your behalf are sustained. <br /> ■ Preparing the federal agency staff or congressional members' key staff prior to your visit, so that the <br /> meetings are productive and efficient and the staff are adequately prepared to discuss your projects <br /> and priorities. <br /> Manatt will also work to bring congressional members and staff and federal agency leadership to visit the <br /> City. One of the best ways to engage federal leaders on priorities is to invite national officials to conduct <br /> site visits. Manatt will support the City in coordinating the site visits and in providing strategic guidance for <br /> conducting a successful visit for federal officials. <br /> Presented to the City of Santa Ana I manaft.com 14 <br />
