Stand up for Democracy
As a result of recent State legislation amending the Brown Act to provide equal treatment of virtual and in-person speakers, the City of San Diego is going to be changing Council Rules to comply with the State changes. Among the options being considered is eliminating group presentations and time ceding. This would severely suppress Neighbors For A Better San Diego's ability to present our analysis and recommendations of regulations being considered by the City Council.
Based on our reading of the State law, we have developed our own proposed changes to Council Rules, which you can read HERE.
Please take the time to submit a public comment that you support free and open debate of the issues facing San Diego and urge the Council to consider Neighbors For A Better San Diego's proposal. This is Item 4 on Wednesday's (February 18) agenda.
Senator Wiener is back with a "cleanup" of SB 79, labeled SB 677, that will significantly expand the reach of SB 79 by lowering the qualifications for what constitutes a transit-oriented development station.
Continuing the theme that SB 79 is primarily intended to punish Southern California homeowners, this change primarily affects cities in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties.
