The council voted to designate delegates for the Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) one‑voice delegation to Washington and identified the city’s federal advocacy priorities.

After discussing the time commitment and preparation required for the trip, council moved to send Councilmember Rupaul and City Manager Ramirez as Livingston’s delegates and to set the delegation’s policy priorities as water infrastructure, roads/transportation and public safety. Council emphasized the need for preparation, relationship-building with federal agency staff and follow-up after the trip to pursue funding opportunities. The motion passed by roll call, 4–0.

Councilmembers noted lobbying and one‑voice delegations can be most effective when priorities are crisp and delegates or staff follow up with federal staff and regional partners after meetings.
