Overall Wrk ProqrdBudget Review Process Upon initiation by the City of San Diego, the Board directed the Evaluation Camittee to analyze and make recamendations on the annual Overall Work Program (OWP) budget Process. Based on review of the history (Attamt C) and the current procedure and in the interest of mre periodic review of program and financial status and to enhance involvment by the Program Revia Camnittee (of Managers), it is the Evaluation Camnittee's that the cycle with reevaluation follawing additional process be carried out to take place in approximately one year: for the next a. That the Budget Camittee, as presently constituted, review the status of the mrk program and budget each Octaber and February and report to the Board; b, That the Program Review Cosrmittee, as presently constituted, attend the pro- gram status meetings held by the Budget Camnittee; and c.

Weighted Voting Fomla The weightd vote of SANDAG was a concept conceived in 1971 to provide mre equitable voting balance to the Member Agencies on issues of extraordinary concern. as a "balanced" formula, so that no single agency or small group of members could daninate the Board. lation then accounted for about 52% of the regional total); the County 30 votes (population of the unincorporated areas was then about 25% of the region); and % remaining cities divided 30 votes proportional to their population. In 1980, with the County and Escondido no longer mgcs3ers, the formula was revised with each member agency receiving a proportional weighted vote accordhg to its population, with the proviso that no m&er muld get more than 40 votes. City of San Diego in 1980 represena approximately 46% of the regional population, but with the County and Escondido out, San Diego represented about 62% of the "mnber represented" population in SAND=. The weightd voting procedure requires that there be two seconds on a motion to call for the weighted vote and that 5 &xiher Agencies voting affirmtively While it "approaches" the one man-one vote principle, it also was viewed Originally, the City of San Diego was given 40 votes (popu- The - and 51% of the weighted vote total are required to carry a mtion. The 5 &&er Agency requirement was originally included so that the City of San Diego and the County, with 70% of the weighted vote, could not prevail without sane support frm the smaller cities. There is a legitimate issue regarding the need for the 5 Wrkr Agency requirement with the County a non-, since no 2 entities control a majority of the weighted vote. Presently it would take a mini" of 3 Menher Agencies to gain 51% of the vote since the next highestweighted vote after San Diego (40) is 9, As pointed out in the Evaluation Cannittee discussion, it is hypothetically possible for 4 agencies representing 66% of the weighted vote (San Diego, Chula Vista, Oceanside, El Cajon) to fail to carry a weighted vote for lack of a fifth concurring agency. The Evaluation Cdttee felt that amending the 5-agency requirement for the time that the County remains outside SANDAG should be discussed at this time before any particular issue of conflict arises which wuld likely necessitate a weighted vote. that this question be discussed first by the Executive Camnittee and then by the Board of Directors. The Executive Cdttee met on July 6 and recarmended the Board discuss changing the Formula to require only 4 concurring agencies rather than 5 to carry a weighted vote, with the proviso that when the County rejoins SANDAG, the Formula revert to 5 concurring agencies. The cumittee therefore recmended If the Board agrees with the above proposal to change the vote fonnula, it sbuld, by vote, authorize staff to forward Attacht B to the lktber Agencies for their action. Unanimous approval by Mepnber Agencies is required to amend the JPA. 3. Planning Consolidation Finally, the Evaluation Cdttee considered the recarmendations frm the Callahan Task Force which were referred to it by the Board. dealing with the consolidation of single purpose responsibilities under the general purpose areawide agency (SANDAG), it is the Evaluation Camittee's With respect to Policy 6 FE@%ENDATIm that "Consolidation of regional planning activities should be en- couraged and welmmsd in favor of 'cmprehensive' planning rather than 'single purpose' planning. 'I The Caranittee feels that such consolidation would be mre efficient and that asso- ciations of governments, such as SAMDAG, are appropriate vehicles to use for this purpose. W RICHARD J.
