League staff: Pick your priority bills and use staff, work groups, and Slido to shape LPC positions
Summary
Podcast guidance for LPC participants: choose the bills that matter to your city, use city or League staff to track others, join work groups for deeper technical review, and use Slido polls and action alerts to provide timely feedback.
League staff offered practical advice for LPC participants on how to prepare and be effective. They recommended members not try to track every bill, but instead "strategically figure out which bills matter to you as a city or as an elected" and use staff to follow highly technical bills. The guest also highlighted work groups for deeper dives on housing, water, land use and related topics.
To gather broad input efficiently, staff said they use Slido polling during LPC meetings so hundreds of attendees can be represented in aggregated results. The guest urged members to respond to action alerts that ask for immediate outreach to legislators when timing matters.
