ITEM TITLE Resolution 9,~ g- Supporting Comprehensive Planning Organization
name change and opposing addition of ex-officio
members
SUBMITTED BY City Manager
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES N0~)
At the meeting of September 4, 1979, the City Council determined to support the change
of the Comprehensive Planning Organization's name to the "San Diego Council of Govern-
ments`.' to be known as SANCOG. The Council, however, did not endorse adding four
ex-officio members, believing instead that these entities, namely, the San Diego
Unified Port District, School Districts and Special Districts within the region,
always have the ability to submit arguments, make comments and request action on
the part of the CPO Board and that this was a proper and appropriate means for them
to do so.
It was also the Council's opinion that the designation of ex-officio members could be
the forerunner of full membership instituted by the State Legislature as in the case
of the Local Agency Formation Commission.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item No. 1'6a
For meeting of 9/4/79
ITEM TITLE Report on CPO Name Change and Addition of Ex-Officio Members
SUBMITTED BY City Manager
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES N0~)
A request has been received from the CPO Board asking that each member city consider an amend-
ment to the CPO Joint Powers Agreement that would change the official designation of "CPO" to
the "San Diego Council of Governments" (SANCOG). Before the change can occur, all current
signatories to the JPA must execute a third amendment to the JPA.
A second matter, which would also require an amendment, pertains to adding four (4) ex-officio
members to the Board as follows:
One member from the San Diego Unified Port District Board;
One member representing the School Districts within the region; and
Tvvo members representing Special Districts within the region.
The CPO Board does not propose the change at this time, but requests comments on the proposal
prior to their September 17, 1979 meeting.
The name change amendment appears insignificant on the surface, and may be a better reflection
of the "purpose, functions and organization" of the agency. Those who are more skeptical of
CPO and its purpose may see the name chance as a move toward a stron er re Tonal
g g government.
Staff recognizes that such concerns are genuine but, as a practical matter, we believe the
regional agency will continue to gain more power and influence regardless of name. The name
of the organization probably will have little bearing on how rapidly this will occur. We
therefore believe the City Council should concur in the amendment and direct the appropriate
resolution be prepared.
Jn the second issue, staff believes it is entirely appropriate to provide for ex-officio
representation of the Port, School, and Special Districts in the region. While ex-officic
representation could eventually lead to full membership, as in the case of LAFCO, the work of
,PO certainly requires communication and coordination between general purpose and special purpose

August 23, 1979
Pursuant to direction of the Comprehensive P1arnirg Organization's Board
of Directors, two items are being presented for your Council's consideration.
The first item is an amendment to the CPO Joint Powers Agreement (attached).
This amendment will require review ar>Id formal action by your Council.
The purpose of this amendment is limited to changing the name of the Can-
prehensive Planning Organization (CPO) in orr3er to more accurately reflect
the purpose, functions, and organization of the joint powers agency.
This amendment in rio way reflects any change in the powers or responsi-
bilities of the organization. This amendment, when executed by all of the
voting member agencies of the CPO, would change the organization's nave to
the San Diego Council of Governments (SANCOG).
The amendment language should not be changed. If either you, or your Council,
have any questions about the language of the amendment, do not hesitate
to contact Debra Greenfield, CPO Counsel, at 236-5366.
Please docket this amendment for consideration by your Council as soon as
possible, preferably before September 14, 1979. When reviewed and approved
by your Council, kirx3ly forward a copy of the authorizing resolution or
action to CPO.
The second item deals with the addition of new ex-officio (non-voting)
members to the CPO Board of Directors. The Board would like do receive
your Council's comaments on this proposal prior to CPO Board action on the
matter which is scheduled for September 17.
Specifically, the proposal is to add the following ex-officio members to
the Board:
A. One member of the San Diego Unified Port District Board of Commissioners
B. CG--e member representing the school districts within the region
C. Two members representing special districts within the region
SAN DIEGO REGION'S COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
Member Agencies: Cities of Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, EI Cajon, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, National City, Oceanside,
San Diego, San Marcos, Vista, and County of San Diego/Ex-officio Member: California Department of Transportation/Honorary Member: Tijuana, B. CFA.
Page 2
The rationale for these additional members, which has been discussed by the
Board, is the need to improve corunun ication and coon-3ination between local
general purpose governments and special purpose government agencies.
Again, please forward a copy of your Council's action on the Joint Powers
Agreanent amendment, and their caiunents on the addition of ex-officio
members to CRS as soon as possible, but no lager than September 14, 1979.
Your assistance in providing timely consideration of these matters is appre-
ciated .
Sincerely,

Executive Director
