CFC makes the following recommendations. Please vote!
A: Authorizes City Reps to hire their own staff YES
B: Authorizes City Council to lease property for 40 years or less by resolution or ordinance NO (developer interests seek less transparency and deletes language that appears to give up right of ownership over improvements at the end of leases).
C: Rescheduling meetings for Holidays YES
D: Authorizes Mayor to cancel meeting due to emergency YES
E: Eliminates obsolete provisions & aligns w/ state law YES
F: Removes requirement for second petition in citizens’ initiative process. YES!
G: Civil Service Commission to reflect diversity of community and city workforce. YES
H: Streamlines process giving more authority to HR dept. NO (less restrictions may not improve hiring and promotion decisions).
I: Eliminates Police/Fire Depts Pension Cap. NO (PD already has large percentage of budget, cap protects other dept budgets).
J: City Auditor to report to City Council instead of City Manager. YES (City Manager cannot be held accountable by voters.)
K: Climate Charter is sound and necessary strategy to address climate change. YES!
