RULES, ELECTIONS, AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS and PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT (PLUM) COMMITTEES’ REPORTS relative to developing criteria for high value projects and amending the planning process so these projects are diverted from the PLUM Committee and go directly to Council.

RULES, ELECTIONS, AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT
Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Martinez – O’Farrell):
INSTRUCT the Department of City Planning (DCP), in coordination with the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), to report in 30 days in regards to developing criteria for high value projects and amend the planning process so these projects are diverted from the PLUM Committee and go directly to Council with said report to analyze high value projects that have gone to PLUM Committee since 2013 and take into consideration both the total cost as well as the cost per square foot.

INSTRUCT the DCP to include deadlines in terms of when high value projects should be scheduled for Council in their report. Projects that are not high value projects should also be given deadlines for when they need to be scheduled in the PLUM Committee.

PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
Recommendation for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Martinez – O’Farrell):

REQUEST the City Attorney to comment on these matters, specifically on concerns regarding the Voting Rights Act and First Amendment rights as we move in a direction towards more civic participation and voting, being mindful not to undermine that direction, any first amendment rights communications, and the abilities for the efficiency of services for the public.
