Dear Mr. Alest re:
September 24, 1980 a
On September 22, the CPO Board of Directors authorized the distribution
of Amendments (Attachment I) to the CPO Joint Powers Agreement for review
and -execution by the member agencies. They asked that action by the
member agencies be taken prior to November 1. As you.may know, unanimous
agreement by the current member agencies is required for amending the JPA.
There are five Amendments proposed: (a) name change (page 1);,plan
consistency (page 2); (c) no additional permits (page 2); (d) compensation
for Chairman (page 3); and (e) weighted voting formula (pages 4 through
6). Those Amendments which receive unanimous agreement will take effect
immediately upon execution by each member agency.
Also attached (II) for your information is the CPO cotmltittee report to
the Board.and its rationale for the proposed Amendments (see asterisked
items).
If you require any further information for docketing the Amendments or
for explanation at your Council meeting, please don!t,hesitate to call
me or Ken Sulzer (236-5331) or Debra Greenfield (236-5366).
Sincerely,

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
DATE: September 22, 1980 AGENDA REPORT No.: 1
ORGANIZATICNAL REVIEW COMMITTEE: RECOMMENDATIONS
Introduction
Our Committee has met numerous times since early July at the direction of the
Board to review and evaluate CPO activities and its relationships with member
agencies and others. In this process we have carefully reviewed the reoamien-
dations of the San Diego Blue Ribbon Panel on Regional Planning (June, 1979)
and the Callahan Task Force (November, 1978).
For purposes of clarity, our rewivendations are organized into five categories,
each requiring different levels of action or implementation as follows:
I. Joint Powers Agreement changes,
II. Bylaws additions,
III. Further study by (proposed) Evaluation Committee,
IV. Policy Direction to Staff, and
V. Referrals to Budget Cammittee.
our reconvendations are:
CATEGORY I (REQUIRING JPA CHANGES: AUTHORIZE FOR DISTRIBUTION TO MEMBER AGENCIES
FOR EXECrMON). (See Attachment II)
CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ORGANIZATION TO SAN DIEM
ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT'S (SANLIAG).
The rationale for this change is that the new name better encompasses
and describes the purposes of the organization, in that it is a volun-
tary one among general purpose governments and that besides regional
planning, its purpose is also one of coordination, facilitation, assis-
tance to local government, and a forum for discussing and resolving
regional and interjurisdictional issues.
2. CHANGE THE WEIGHTED VOTING FORMULA BASED PRIMARILY CN POPULATION, REGALCTJLATE
THE FORMULA EACH YEAR, ENCOURAGE THE MEMBERSHIP OF ALL NEW CITIES UPON
INCORPORATION, AND PROVIDE VOTING EQUITY. A SPECIAL VOTING PROCESS SHOULD
BE USED IN RECOGNITION OF THE COUNTY'S REGIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES IN 'THOSE
AREAS WHERE THE COUNTY IS MANDATED SUCH A ROLE.
The rationale for this change is that with the expected incorporation
of several new cities and the proportional decrease in the unincorporated
area population, voting equity would deteriorate for the smaller cities.
For example, the present vote formula gives the County of San Diego 30%
(with about 23% of the population), the City of San Diego 40% (with
about 47% of the population) and the remaining cities 30% (with about
30% of the population). The change also stipulates that no member shall
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ORGANIZATION OF THE SAN DIEGO REGION
have less than one vote nor more than 40 votes. However., the Committee
also recognizes those special mandated areas of responsibility of the
County of San Diego, and for those areas (as defined in the present
JPA), the position of the County could only be overridden by a 3/5's
or 60% weighted vote of the a ,der members.
* 3. THE PLANS OF LOCAL AGENCIES SHOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH ALL ELEMENTS OF THE
REGIONAL PLAN.
* 4. THE ORGANIZATIc4I Sdoum NOT BE ABLE so REQUIRE ADDrTiONAL PERMITS.
* 5. THE CHAIRMAN SHALL RECEIVE MONTHLY COMPENSATION IN AN AMOUNT ESTABLISHED
FROM TIME TO TIME BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
The rationale for this is based on the responsibility and significantly j
increasing demands made upon the Chairman's time and ef:orts.
I
CATEGORY II (ADDITIONS TO BYUM: AUTHORIZE FOR MEMBER AGENCIES -REVIEW AND I
ACTION BY BOARD IN OCTOBER
1. The organization should disseminate information concerning its work program
and activities. The required information system should be so organized and
categorized that it would continue to allow full and efficient use of infor-
mation by the public and private sectors.
2. Adequate provisions for citizen participation shall be provided as required
by law and as directed by the W-e;:] of Directors.
3. The organization should appoint a standing committee of Board members to
perform an annual evaluation of the organization's goals, purpose, struc-
ture and performance, directed toward continually improving the planning, t
t coordination, and implementation process. }
r
4. Each action taken by the Organization which requires implementation should
include designation of the agency or agencies directly responsible for such
implementation.
5. -Conflicts between governmental agencies should be resolved among the
affected agencies. In matters affecting more than one local government,
and where requested by the affected agencies, the Organization should have
the authority to hear and make recommandations on appeals if the conflicts
are not resolved to the satisfaction of each affected agency. The regional
i plan should serve as the guideline for the resolution of conflicts.
Ci'aEGORY III (FtJFrIM STtU'JY BY (PROPOSED) EVALUATION COMMITTEE)
1. Recommendations #1 and #5 from the 13lue Ribbon Report (Attachment I).
2. Reoommendation #6 of the Callahan Task Force: "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."

Iz
CATEGORY IV (POLICY DIRECTION TO STAFF)
1. THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICIES EL941lT OF THE CCMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOULD
INCLUDE A DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL IMPACT OF POPULATION SIZE`ON NATURAL
ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, ON PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SMVICES, ON THE ECONOMY,
AND ON -ALL OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE REGIONAL PLAN.
2. PRLRARE FOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEW THE STATUS OF. THE CIVMRALL WORK
PROGRAM AND THE BUDGET SEk—ANNUALLY.
3. PREPARE FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS A DETAILED OUTLINE OF AN "ANNUAL EVENT"
TO BE ATTENDED BY ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS, WHICH WOULD ASSESS THE _SERVICE
OF THE ORGANIZATION, REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE REGION, AND EMPHASIZE
FUTURE- DIRECTIONS THROUM ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS AND RECO6P'IMATIONS BY
ELECTED OFFICIALS.
CATEGORY V (REFER TO BUDGET CO%K=E)
1. THE AMOUNT OF CCMPENSATION TO BE PAID BWD MEMBERS FOR.ATTENDING MEETINGS
SHOULD BE ANALYZED.
The rationale for this reo=wendation is that no analysis of Board
member compensation has been done since 1974.
