CALLAHAN TASK FORCE REPORT/IMPLEMENTATION • - ds
At the September meeting the Board directed staff to detail the necessary
steps to achieve the Callahan Task Force recommendations as part of the
Board's approval (in concept) of the recommendations: The Board also re-
quested further information on the responsibilities of LAFCO in relation to
possible consolidation with the regional agency: The LAFCO-analysis is
attached as an addendum to this -report.
The Task Force met on October 10 to discuss proposed implementation
measures to achieve the recommendations.: It was the consensus of those
present that State legislation should be enacted in the next session of the
Legislature to do the following:
1. Establish CPO as a- statutorily created Council of Governments (COG)
by incorporating those sections of the Joint Powers Agreement which
establish the makeup of the Board and the voting formula, along with
other relevant JPA provisions` which now exist.
2. - Establish the COG as the LAFCO for the San. Diego region.
3. To insure "comprehensive"' planning the COG should be legisla-
tively designated as the sole and exclusive agency to perform the
following functions:
A. The area planning requirements pursuant to Section 9 of the
Federal Highways Act of 1962, as amended (23 USC 134). sr
B. Section 4(a) of the UMTA Act of 1964, as amended (49 USC
1603(a)).
C. F-ectism 174 and 175 of the Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended'
(42 USC 7401).
D. Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972,
as amended (33 USC 1288). �
*CPO is currently designated by the federal and/or state government
to carry out these functions.

of 1966, as amended (42 USC 3334); Section 401 of the .Inter-
governmental Cooperation Act of 1968. as amended (42 USC

F. The Areawide Planning Organization under 24 CFR 891.501(a).
G. The Regional Transportation _Planning Agency under Section
29532 of the Government Code.
H. Any regional or areawide review or planning required by any
other federal statute to be performed by metropolitan re-
gional agencies. -
It is also recommended that the COG should assume,
I. ' The County solid waste management planning_ requirements
pursuant to Section. 667 80.
4. Establish that any action taken by the COG which requires implemen-
tation should include designation of the agency or agencies directly
responsible for such implementation. This should be specifically
provided for in the legislation.
5. - Amend Section 65401 of the Government Code to provide veto power
by general purpose governments over capital improvements programs
when inconsistent with general plans.
At'the present time, Section 65401 requires special districts and
school districts among others to submit to a city or county in whose
jurisdiction the district lies a capital improvement program for the
• ensuing fiscal year for review and report by the city or county for
conformity with the general plan. This section does not allow the city
or county to veto inconsistent projects, and should be amended to
provide such power. The decision to veto a project would then be
appealable by the special district to the COG for a final determination
based on a finding of consistency.
6. Establish a procedure whereby local general plans and the regional
plan are consistent with each other. The legislation should provide
a timetable, procedures and a method of enforcement.
Item "'d" (Cont'd? , -3-
Also, a }procedure should be included whereby any platming controversy
which arises between jurisdictions may be submitted to the COG by
any affected jurisdiction for hearing and arbitration which shall be
binding, unless overridden by extraordinary vote of any of the agencies
involved. `
The Task Force also recommends that separate legislation be considered
to accomplish each of the following:
1. MTDB - Planning and resources allocation functions of MTDB
should be absorbed by the COG, except those appropriate for a
transit operator.
Certain planning functions designated to be carried out by MTDB
which are regional in nature should be transferred by legislation
to the COG including, but not limited to:
A. LTF allocations (Section 99233. 5(b)(2) of the Public Utilities
Code) (PUC).
B. Performance audits of planning entities and operators
(Sections 99245 and '99246 of the PliC).
C. Certain portions of near -term operational planning
(Section 126301 of the PUC).
D. He for Federal and State Transportation Improve-
ment Programs (Section 120353 of the PUC, Section 65080. 1
of the Government Code).
In addition„ identification of MTDB as the designated recipient of
UMTA Section 5 federal funds (Section 120351 of the PUC) should
be deleted from the PUC.
2. • Unified Port District - The COG should review and approve the
Land Use Plan and Capital Improvements Program developed by
the Port District to insure coordination with the plans of general
purpose governments in the area.
3. APCD - The COG should do all air quality planning; APCD should
be the regulating and enforcement agency.
4. HSA and EDD - A formal Memorandum of Agreement should be
requirad to be executed specifically delineating planning roles, and
require the use of COG approved data and forecasts fcr HSA-EDD
planning purposes.

October 16, 1978 Addendum to Item "d"
Y,
LAFCO RULE AND RESPONSIBILITIES e
There are 15 general purpose governments and over 180 special districts
in the County of San Diego. These agencies Were each created to provide
community services to residents and property owners. As the County grows
and changes, demands for community services shift and expand. It is often
necessary for local governments to reorganize to meet these changes.
In the past, some local governments have expanded service areas with little
regard to impacts of neighborhood or regional significance. This has-, in
some cases, caused conflicts among agencies, and a -hodgepodge of govern-
mental entities with overlapping boundaries and service delivery patterns
which are inefficient. LAFCO was established to encourage local govern-
ments to respond to new service demands through orderly development
and boundary expansions of governmental agencies.
LAFCO is a State -mandated, countywide agency charged with the respon-
sibility for "the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of
the orderly formation and development of local governmental agencies"
(Government Code Sec. 54774). LAFCO's -enabling legislation is the
Knox -Nisbet Act. The Commission has beer_ delegated specific respon-
sibilities by the State to meet its purpose. LAFCO's major activities can
be separated into three categories: regulatory, long-range planning and
environmental review.
Re ulatory
The Commission has review and approval authority over all proposed changes
in local government organizations, including city and district annexations
and detachments, incorporations of new cities, formations of new districts
and consolidati,)ns, mergers and dissolutions of local government agencies.
The Commission is mandated to analyze and consider proposals for such
changes in governmental organization. In addition, legislation empowers
the Comrimission to initiate and make studies of existing governmental agencies
and obtain and "furnish information which will contribute to the logical and
reasonable develcpment of local governments in each county and to shape
the development of local governmental agencies so as to P.dvantageously pro-
vide for the present and future needs of each county and its communities. "
(Government Code Sec. 54774)

' Addendum to Item (Contra)
-2-
Long-Range Planning
In addition to its regulatory authority, the State has mandated that LAFCO
complete a long-range planning study to determine the ultimate physical
boundary of each local government in the County. This study will provide
a long-range plan to guide the future expansion and organization of govern-
mental boundaries. (Government Code Sec. 54774)
Environmental ,Review
Through the adoption of the California Environmental Quality Act, the
California State Legislature declared its intent that all agencies of the
State Government which "regulate activities of private individuals, cor-
porations, and public agencies which are found to affect the quality of the
environment, shall regulate such activities so that major cot:sideration is
given to.preventing environmental damage." (Public Resources Code Sec.
21000(g)) LAFCO, as such a public agency, is required to complete environ-
mental review of all projects upon which the Commission makes decisions.
.Under present State law (Sec. 54780 of the Government Code), a LAFCO
shall consist of five -members who shall be two county supervisors, -two city
officers and one member of the general public. Also, Section 547,82. 6
allows a LAFCO to be enlarged to seven members if the'_.AFCO�(1) orders
representation of special districts upon the LAFCO, and (2) adopts rules
and regulations affecting the functions and services of special districts.
The LAFCO in San Diego has added special district representatives.

s -Since, the Board appointed this- task force in March, we have held six meetings. We
have discussed the role of CPO and its performance history, the Ad Hoc Committee's
report and recommendations on the future of CPO, the Mills Bill (SB 1746), the
Kapiloff Bill (AB 3698), and the implications of Proposition 13 as it affects regional
Planning, implementation, and local control in general.
As- a result of these discussions, the Task Force makes the following findings:
CIN) in its present form operates efficiently and effectively. There is no
duplication of effort of any major significance with work currently being done
by the County
of San Diego. Further, we have found -no evidence of any potential
cost savings by transferring areawide planning responsibilities to the County
or County staff. In fact, the budget and staffing history of CPO since it was
reorganized six years ago as an independent joint powers agency reflects sound
management in accordance'with the guidelines established by the Board of
Directors at the time of reorganization. Permanent staff positions have varied
only slightly from the 58 positions authorized for CPO's first full year of
independent operation (currently standing at 60) and local assessment of member
agencies in support of the program has consistently decreased, both in absolute
dollars and as a percentage of the total budget. This has occurred during a
period when local government costs and staffing have generally increased
significantly. In light of these findings and the other issues considered, the
Task Force makes the following recommendations:
1. Any changes to regional planning and implementation responsibilities or
powers should occur within the structure of the regional agency (CPO)
which is already in place.
2. The regional agency should do (or review and approve) all planning which
affects more than one general purpose jurisdiction.
3. Each t;etion taken by the regional agency which requires implementation
should include designation of the agency or agencies directly responsible
for such implementation.

1. N.11forct,mont of implementation and veto power over certain spacial
district budgets should rest with local general purpose governments to
assure consistency with local general plans. ,
5.
t,
Local general plans should be consistent with the adopted regional plan.
Staff of the regional agency should formalize plan monitoring and review
with a rejular report to the Regional Board and each member agency.
It should -then be the responsibility of each Board member and each member
'agency to officially assure that local plan inconsistencies or inadequacies
are resolved and that specific follow up is carried out.
6. Consolidation of regional planning activities should be accomplished in
favor of "comprehensive" planning rather than "single .purpose" planning.
This coordination of activities should be formalized and is most important
as a result of Proposition 13.
7. Consolidation or formalized agreements with. certain agencies should
occur at the earliest feasible time, as follows:
LAFCO
Should be absorbed by the regional agency.
MTDB
Planning and resources allocation functions of
'
MTDB should be absorbed ,by the regional agency,
except those appropriate !or a transit operator.
Unified Port
The regional agency should review and approve the
District
Land Use Plan and Capital Improvements Program
developed by the Port District to insure coordination
with the plans of general purpose governments in the
area.
APCD
The regional agency should do all air quality planning;
APCD should be the regulating and enforcement agency.
HSA & EDD
A formal memorandum of agreement should be executed,
specifically delineating planning roles, and require the
use of regional agency approved data and forecasts
used for HSA-EDD planning purposes.
School
A formal memorandum of agreement should be executed
Districts
requiring a Facilities Plan consistent with regional agency
approved forecasts on population and age breakdown.
Special
Districts
Sections 65401, 65402 of the Government Code should -be
mandatory instead of voluntary and include veto power
by general purpose government over capital Improve-
ments program when inconsistent with general plans.

Regional I'lanning/Implementation Structure
Page 3
Process of review should include special district
CIP's, first going to the regional agency for review
of regional impact and then to cities or County for
action. This will assure consistency with local general
plans and the regional plan.
The Board of Directors should direct the staff to detail the necessary steps to
achieve recommendations and to report to the Board of Directors as soon as
possible.
In summary, the Task Force feels that these recommendations provide the
framework for any changes in a joint powers agreement or state legislation.
We feel that they provide the opportunity for improvements in the planning
process and implementation of planning products. More importantly, our
proposed approach is not disruptive and can take advantage of efficiencies
realized to date. It preserves local control while giving a direction for improved
implementation.
It is recommended that this report be forwarded to all affected governmental agencies
and other interested parties within the San Diego region and to the San Diego delegation
r. in the State Legislature. It is further recommended that appropriate follow-up actions
be taken to assure implementation of the recommendations contained in this report.

AT THE LATEST BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING OF THE CPO --
HELD ON 16 SEPTEMBER, I WAS DIRECTED BY THE BOARD TO APPEAR. THIS
MORNING AND EXPRESS THE OPINION OF ITS MEMBERSHIP. ABSENT FROM
THE MEETING WAS THE COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE -- SUPERVISOR HEDGECOCK
AND THE ESCONDIDO REPRESENTATIVE -- COUNCILMAN DANELL. THE
REMAINING 13 CITIES UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO APPROVE IN CONCEPT
THE FINDINGS OF THE CALLAHAN TASK FORCE AND TO PLACE INTO DIS-,
CUSSION ALL OF ITS RECOMMENDATIONS AT THE OCTOBER 21st MEETING.
:'HE FIRST�RECOMMENDATION STATED "ANY CHANGES TO REGIONAL
PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSIBILITIES OR POWERS SHOULD OCCUR
WITHIN THE STRUCTURE OF THE REGIONAL AGENCY (CPO) WHICH IS
ALREADY IN"PLACE". AND THAT RECOMMENDATION, GENTLEMEN, IS AT
THE CRUX OF THE POSITION OF TAE 13 CI -TIES. I CANNOT OVEREMPHASIZE
HOW STRONGLY WE ALL FEEL ABOUT HOME RULE. WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT
WE MUST MAINTAIN THE RESPONSIBILITY TO RUN OUR OWN LOCAL AFFAIRS
AND WE FEEL THAT REGIONAL PLANNING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS A LOCAL
AFFAIR AND SHOULD NOT BE MANDATED FROM THE LEGISLATURE.
I AM CERTAIN YOU ARE WELL AWARE THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLANNING ORGANIZATION WAS CREATED THROUGH A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
UNDER THE AUTHORITY GRANTED IN SECTION 6500 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE.
THAT SECTION CLEARLY INTENDED THAT A SEPARATE AGENCY, IN THIS
INSTANCE A PLANNING AGENCY, COULD AND SHOULD BE FORMED IF THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AFFECTED COULD AGREE ON SUCH A FORMATION. CPO
WAS CREATED BY JUST SUCH AN AGREEMENT. FOR OVER 5 YEARS NOW, CPO
HAS.WORK£D EXCEEDINGLY WELL AND HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE
MOST OUTSTANDING PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COUNTRY. NOW IT
IS SUGGESTED THAT THE CPO IS NOT VIABLE AND THAT THE LEGISLATURE
SHOULD STEP IN AND COMPLETELY REORGANIZE REGIONAL PLANNING WITHIN
SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
SINCE 1923, WHEN THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS ACT WAS
PASSED, THE LEGISLATURE HAS HISTORICALLY TAKEN THE POSITION THAT r
l
LOCAL COOPERATIVE ISSUES SHOULD BE RESOLVED LOCALLY. IF CPO
t ,
NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OR ABOLISHED, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, THE
LOCALLY ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT CREATED IT, HAVE THE AUTHORITY
AND THE WILL, ANL I STRESS BOTH THOSE ASPECTS, THE AUTHORITY AND
THE WILL, TO DO SO.
t
t
9 ,
t
i •
BEGINNING AT THE OCTOBER MEETING, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE CPO DILL BE EXAMINING THE SEVEN MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS OF
THE CALLAHAN TASK FORCE. IT WOULD BE PREMATURE AT THIS POINT
TO ENGAGE IN A GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WITH
THE COMMITTEE, AS THEY COL" D BE SIGNIFCANTLY ALTERED AFTER BEING
•i
DEBATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE-CALLAHAN TASK
t
FORCE. RECOMMENDED THAT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF LAFCO BE ABSORBED
BY THE REGIONAL AGENCY. HOWEVER, THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, FOR ONE,
DOES NOT AGREE•AND A FINAL POSITION CANNOT BE TAKEN UNTIL THE
OCTOBER MEETING -- OR LATER IF THE DISCUSSIONS ARE PROLONGED.
IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ANY OF US TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE HAS FOCUSED ON SAN DIEGO COUNTY TO DETERMINE
THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH REGIONAL PLANNING. IT WOULD BE MORE
,UNDERSTANDABLE IF THE COMMITTEE HAD SOMEHOW PERCEIVED THAT ALL
COG'S IN CALIFORNIA SHOULD BE ABOLISHED AND A COMPLETELY NEW
APPROACH TAKEN TO REGIONAL PLANNING. AS 1T IS, IT HAS SIMPLY a
BUILT UP A,FEELING OF RESENTMENT AMONG THE ELECTED OFFICIALS OF
THE CITIES THAT SOME OF OUR LEGISLATORS IN SACRAMENTO ARE COMPLETELY
IGNORING THEIR WISHES.
ONE GOOD THING HAS COME OUT OF THE CONTROVERSY ASSOCIATED
WITH S.B. 1746 AND A.B. S698 AND THAT IS IT HAS FORCED THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS OF THE CPO TO TAKE AN INWARD LOOK AT THEIR ORGANIZATION.
THEIR LOOK WAS OBJECTIVE AND HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN MORE EFFECTIVE
AND ,RESPONSIVE ACTIONS IMPLEMENTED IN THc ADMINISTRATIVE AREA
AND A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE TASK FORCE, THAT I PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED, TO INSTITUTE SOME MAJOR CHANGES.
t
WITHOUT BEING AT ALL FACETIOUS, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS i
MY APPRECIATION TO YOU, ASSEMBLYMAN KAPILOFF, AND TO SENATOR MILLS, }
FOR FORCING THE CPO TO TAKE THAT INWARD LOOK. I DO NOT BELIEVE ?
i
THERE ARE ANY DIRECTORS WHO DO NOT FEEL AS I DO. YOU DID US A SERVICE.
NOW I BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE TO WORK OUT OUR OWN
PROBLEMS. WE DO NOT NEED OUTSIDE DIRECTION OR MANDATED CHANGES TO
AN ORGANIZATION THAT THAT HAS FUNCTIONED EXCEEDINGLY WELL UP TO NOW.
WE WOULD LIKE YOUR SUPPORT IN OUR EFFORTS FOR SELF IMPROVEMENT ;
RATHER THAN AN UNNECESSARY ADVERSARY RELATIONSHIP CREATED OUT OF
f
AN UNWELCOME INTRUSION INTO HOME RULE. 9

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 7, 1978
TO: Paul Bussey, City
FROM: James C. Hagaman, Planning Director _le//
SUBJECT: REGIONAL'COMPREHENSIUF PLAN IMPLEMENTATION SURVEY: THE CPO
The CPO Board of Director's will review the Regional Comprehensive
Plan on November 20, 1978. For guidance in this review the CPO has
submitted a survey to all agencies responsible for implementation
of the Regional Comprehensive Plan. The survey basically asks what
we are doing or hav` done to implement the plan.
Staff has answered the survey questions. Your suggestions will be
appreciated. Particularly important to the CPO are comments on what
is needed, but not addressed in the Regional Comprehensive Plan
(see end of survey).
This survey is very general ar, is an effort to meet the various
levels of involvement from other agencies. Therefore, at the
suggestion of the CPO, staff has taken the liberty to change
the questions in some cases, or answered the questions in a general
manner rather than specific.

Dear Mayor Packard:
At its March 20 meeting, the CPO Board of Directors adopted Resolution n78-40
opposing SB 1746, with the County's representative casting the only negative
vote. The bill introduced by Senator Mills would transfer all of CPO's respon-
sibility, authority and assets to the County of San Diego on February 1, 1979,
and would make the County the sole and exclusive agency to carry out all
federal and state mandated areawide planking, grant review and resource allo-
cation. functions. The bill establishes a municipal advisory committee of city
representatives, whose role would be advisory to W.0 Doai1 of Supervisors.
I believe that this is a critical issue to the cities of the San Diego region.
The manner in which the bill was developed and introduced --without prior- con-
sultation with the local governments directly impacted --is an affront to our
authority as cities. If enacted, the bill would deprive the cities of any
effective control on important regional issues. Further, there is no evidence
to indicate that CPO', responsibilities could be carried out more efficiently
or effectively by county government.
I have appointed a committee of CPO Board representatives from the County and
the Cities of Carlsbad, Coronado, La Mesa and San Diego to address thr. issues
raised by the legislation in an expedious manner. The committee wil: be chaired
by hiayor Callahan of Coronado.
Attached is a brief summary of the bill. T urge you and your City Council to
carefully examine this legislation which would mandate an areawide decision -
making process in direct contradiction of the joint powers agreement reached
by the consensus of all local governments. I have asked our CPO Executive
Director to make any pertinent information you might wish available to you.
Si cerely,

U%
Senator Mills has proposed new legislation (SB 1746) which does the following:
1. Transfers all functions presently performed by the CPO Board
to the County Board of Supervisors who shall be "the sole and
exclusive agency to perform the following functions:"
a. All transportation planning (TPA, MPO) functions. By
designating the County as a statutorily created TPA they
will be authorized to claim, for planning purposes, 3 percent
off the top of the local transpoi iation funds, and more if approved
by the Secretary of Business and Transportation.
b. Responsibilities under the Clean Air Act, and Federal Water
Pollution Controls Act (208);
C. A-95 review;
d. All other regional or areawide planning required by Federal
law to be performed by metropolitan regional agencies.
2. Establishes a "municipal advisory committee" consisting of city
representatives. This committee will.have authority only to
comment and make recommendations on the functions to be carried
out by the County Supervisors.
3. Requires CPO to transfer all of its files, planning data and funds to
the. County.

In all the recent debate surrounding legislative attempts to restructure or
eliminate CPO and particularly in the recent efforts of some elected officials
to abolish the organizatrion by attrition, I am concerned that one important
fact is being overlooked.
CPO is performing functions which are mandated by both State and federal
legislation. A very real consequence of not meeting these mandated requirements,
whether we as local officials like the mandates or not, is running the risk
that State and federal funds for such essential services as highways, transit
and sewage treatment facilities may be reduced or cut off for all of our j uris=
dictions. I believe we can all recall the recent experience of EPA holding up
needed sewage treatment plant expansion because we were not adequately addressing
the Clean Air mandates of the (bngress. Given the present fiscal position of
local government, such a risk appears foolhardy.
Everi it these mandates and financial risks were not a reality, we are in an
era of technology where regional problems of transportation, air pollution,
water quality and vigorous growth effect all jurisdictions and must be addressed
on a cooperative basis. While there are undoubtedly other ways to resolve
these interjurisdictional issues, I firmly believe that the likely alternative
to the cooperative, voluntary structure we are now using (i.e., CPO) is either
regional government in a real sense or domination of local decisions by State
government. Whatever problems some of you may have with CPO, it is difficult
to believe that you would find the alternatives more attractive.
I am aware that there is some feeling that the so-called Callahan Task Force
report is a move by those active in CPO to create a statutory base for the
organization. Nothing is further from the truth, for all of us are strong
proponents of home rule and local control. It is safe to say that most of
us view the Task Force recommendations pertaining to a legislative alter-
native only as a last resort and would resist that approach as strongly as
possible. As a matter of fact, the Callahan Task Force reccamended at the
December 18th meeting that the CPO remain as it is presently constituted --
strictly a planning organization with no legislative authority. lbwever, it
will take the strongest kind of sur)Dort• frrvr ; •---

T6 this end, I intend to discuss with the CPO Executive Committee the
possi-bility of a general assembly of elected officials to be scheduled in late
January or February to discuss how our present joint powers arrangement and
its operation can be improved. As responsible elected officials, we should
be able to discuss programs and find appropriate solutions. The risks of doing
otherwise are too great to run.
Assemblyman Kapiloff's attached letter is self-explanatory and another reason
for my present -concern. He is evidently pursuing the same course he followed
a few months ago to bring some type of a super regional government agency to
San Diego County.

I would like to request that the Comprehensive Planning Organi-
zation designate a representative to serve on the San Diego
Blue -Ribbon Panel on Regional Planning. The panel is being
established to review the roles and operaticns of regional
planning and regulatory agencies within our county and to re-
commend comprehensive reforms to the State Legislature. The
recommendations of the panel will serve as a guideline for
legislation to be introduced next year.
You are no doubt aware of my recent efforts to find solutions
to regional planning problems in San Diego County. Action on
my bill, AB 3698 and on Senator Mill's SB 1746 was deferred
at the close of the past legislative session to provide the
community with additional opportunities to express its concerns
to the Assembly Subcommittee on Lard Use. This panel approach
was strongly supported by many individuals and organizations
who testified at the fall hearings of the Subcommittee. The
Blue -Ribbon Panel will provide lical input through a broad
representation of our community with members from labor, business,
government, environmental groups, and community organizations.
Several public members will also participate on the panel.
I would very much appreciate the participation of the Compre-
hensiv,� Planning Organization on the regional planning study
as your interest and concern for our community will add measur-
ably to the success of the panel. I anticipate that the work

Dear r. ey:
Ilds letter is in reference to the proposed reorganization of the San Diego
area office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Enclosed here
area report and -resolution unanimously adopted by the CPO Board of Directors
at its November 21, 1977 meeting, The report explains many of the current
functions of the office and discusses the necessity of retaining these activities
in San Diego. The report and resolution also recommend the eventua-i upgrading
of the local office to Area Office status with a full .range of housing services.
The report and resolution were sent to Secretary Harris at;HUA and to this area's
Congressional delegation.
We know that some jurisdictions have taken similar individual actions opposing
the reorganization and its effects on the San Diego region. We urge those juris-
dictions which have not expressed their concern to our Congressmen to do so.
Vic will keep you informed of any official reaction to the position of local
groups against the reorganization and HUD's current proposal.

The Department of Housing and Lrban Development is currently planning a major
reorganization of its regional, area, and insuring offices around the country.
1.n some cases, changes may be warranted and beneficial to HUD's operations.
The changes proposed for San Diego are, however, detrimental; they would ser-
iously curtail local programs, result in increased workloads for local staffs
dealing with HUD and further restrict this area's ability to respond to local
housing needs. Therefore, it is my
RECONENDATION
that the attached resolution calling for continuation of important housing
functions and upgrading of the San Diego HUD Office be sent to the Secretary of
the Department of Housing and Urban Development and to this area's Congressional
delegation.
Discussion
The proposed HUD reorganization would result in the elimination of several im-
portant housing functions in the San Diego area. The main function of the local
office under the reorganization would be to handle the single family middle
income insurance program. The following functions would be transferred to
Los Angeles.
Housing Management - The local office currently oversees the management of ap-
proximately 8,500 subsidized units. Only close supervision of such units can
insure that they continue to meet community standards of, physical repair and
neighborhood amenities. Removal of such a crucial function to another city
would adversely affect the maintenance and community acceptance of such housing.
Equal Opporttm ity - Each year the local office investigates about 200 dis-
crinimation complaints. Those complaints found to be legitimate are investi-
gated, arbitrated and settled here in San Diego. Relocating such a function
would result in increased resistance to problems of housing discrimination
because of the time and distance involved. In addition, the very successful
afilTmative marleting program now in operation locally requires continual and
first hand monitoring and discussion between builders and HUD officials,
Malti-Famil Housing Production - Each year several hundred units of subsidized
mu ti ami y ousirlger various HUD programs are sponsored by local non-profit
and profit groups. Contacts, processing and negotiations with such groups is
handled locally. Moving such a function to Los Angeles would work a severe
hardship on the developers of such housing and ultimately result in a loss of
interest in producing assisted housing because of the time and distances involved.

De-e 1 hasis of Lour and Moderate Income 1,'ousing in San Diego - For several years
local government ere t roug i ous ng--taut oorri't`i'es' an oott'ier— groups has attempted
to meet the area's housing problems by applying for and developing many new
sources of subsidized funds. Major programs in operation around the region
include nearly 5,000 units of assisted housing, several local profit and non-
profit groups developing hundreds of units of elderly housing, and thousands
of units of family housing being operated by local profit and non-profit sponsors.
All of these agencies need the daily- and knowledgeable attention of HUD officials.
Without that attention many of these programs would go unused here or would
operate so poorly as to be tai;dts of public criticism.
Future of the San Die o HUD Office - Even with the current level of activity
and unctions(i.e., t ose iscussed above) San Diego agencies are continually
forced to conduct many other activities through Los Angeles; examples are the
Block: Grant Program and the Section 8 allocations. This region's size and
housing and community development activities indicate that San Diego should be
allocated more attention and resources, not less. If housing concerns are to
receive suitable attention here, San Diego's future status should be that of an
Area Office with all functions separate from and equal to other area offices
across the nation.

W[EREAS, the local office of the Department of Housing and Urban De-
velopment handles important functions concerning housing management, equal
opportunity and multi -family production; and
]t'FL'EREAS, proximity to these operations is crucial to the programs of
San Diego area housing authorities and housing sponsors, developers, and
agencies; and
MiEREAS, proposed reorganization plans would transfer these important
functions to Los Angeles; and
]t'HEREAS, major housing efforts now underway in the region would be
jeopardized by lack of close supervision and guidance; and
WHEREAS, the San Diego Office of HUD would henceforth handle only muddle
income housing insurance programs; and
WREREAS, the size, housing activity and complexity of the San Diego area
in comparisons with many other areas around the country indicate that it should
be elevated to the status of Area Office with a complete range of housing func-
tions to serve this region; NOW THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors opposes the current HUD
reorganization plans as they affect the San Diego region; and
BE IT FURTIa RESOLVED that the Board of Directors supports the eleva-
tion of the existing I-M1 office to Area Office status with a full range of
housing services.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of November 1977.
