Michele Martinez expressed concern that Holland & Knight subcontracts with <br />other lobbyists to provide legislative services and that their history is more as <br />attorneys. Vincent Sarmiento added that he didn't get a comfort level with <br />Holland & Knight, which could be because they are a very large firm. <br />Staff will add this item to the next City Council agenda to reject all bids, delegate <br />authority to the Legislative Council Committee to interview interested firms, and <br />come back to the City Council with a recommendation. <br />8. State Lobbyist (Townsend Public Affairs) communication <br />Kevin O'Rourke reported that he met with Townsend Public Affairs (TPA) and the firm <br />has recently become more active and has been providing timely assistance to the City. <br />Staff has asked TPA to track the Governor's proposal on the Enterprise Zone. <br />Vincent Sarmiento mentioned that it will be valuable to get a lobbyist report that is <br />tailored to Santa Ana. <br />9.
