Mayor Morgan Meets with Senator Grayson to Discuss Key Community Priorities

On Monday, October 13, Mayor Renee Morgan and senior Town staff met with Senator Tim Grayson to share the Town’s community profile, highlighting local priorities, recent achievements, and areas where state-level collaboration could make a meaningful impact.

Senator Grayson was elected in 2024 to represent California’s 9th Senate District, which includes Danville.

During the meeting, Mayor Morgan discussed key local issues including:

• E-bike safety, and the need for State reform including reclassification of high-powered e-bikes as e-motos and required safety education to better protect youth and others.
• Fiscal pressures tied to slowing revenues from sales tax and gas tax, as well as challenges accessing infrastructure grants — all of which impact the Town’s ability to maintain essential services and invest in community improvements.
• Housing constraints stemming from missed opportunities with the State’s Density Bonus Law, and policy gaps between land value gains and creating housing affordability.
• Barriers to community resilience, including challenges with PG&E service reliability and disruptions to public safety and municipal services.

The meeting served as an important opportunity to strengthen collaboration between local and state leaders, concluding with a shared commitment to maintain open communication and explore additional opportunities for partnership in upcoming legislative sessions.
