| 1 | 1. | Motion | MOTION, submitted by Councilmember Mann, I move that Council change the way development agreements are negotiated. We must separate the negotiations from the final decisions. Without political interference, our civil servants should negotiate with developers pursuant to written policies adopted by Council and the Mayor. Council would be involved only in reviewing and then approving, rejecting or modifying the proposed development. If our negotiators require guidance during negotiations, they would be expected to use a transparent process involving all elected officials. New written Council policies should: 1. Clearly define the separate roles of the city’s development and administrative officers and Members of Council; and 2. Establish clear boundaries separating those roles. (STATEMENT ATTACHED). | Referred to CM for a Report | |
