LB city management hasn't taken a position o SB 9 (despite verbiage in the City Councl approved "state legislative agenda" reciting opposition to bills harming local control.)

City Hall's Government Affairs Manager is Dr. Tyler Curly, formerly Mayor Robert Garcia's Legislative Deputy, later Chief of Staff for former 1st District Councilwoman (now state Senator), Lena Gonzalez, a co-author of SB 9, and most recently served in Senator Gonzalez's office as her Legislative Director/Policy Liaison.

Dr. Curly and city management don't set city policy. A majority of the City Council does. The Council's "State Legislation Committee" (which can offer recommendations to the Council) is chaired by Vice Mayor Rex Richardson and includes vice chair Councilman Roberto Uranga and member Councilman Al Austin) has met once in 2021 to recommend approval of the City's "State Legislative Agenda" which includes verbiage stating; ."Oppose legislation that would reduce the City’s local land use authority" and that "would reduce the City’s local land use authority and support implementation of the City Council adopted planning documents."

Details include:

a) Support policies and legislation that protect and/or expands the City’s authority and rights over its affairs.
b) Oppose policies and legislation that preempt the current authority possessed by the City and delegates that authority to the State or other governmental jurisdiction...
f) Oppose policies and legislation that diminish the City’s local control over land use, planning, zoning and development decisions, and oppose legislation in conflict with the City’s adopted General Plan or other Council adopted land use policies...

Regardless of the Council's State Legislation Committee, any Councilmember(s) could agendize SB 9 for City Council action.
