3 18-0522 Subject: Receive A Report On The Public Lands Policy Process And Analysis
From: Councilmember Guillén And Kaplan
Recommendation: Receive A Report And Recommendation On The Public Lands Policy Process And Analysis To Inform Council Direction To Prepare Legislation To Implement A City Public Lands Policy And/Or Strategy
I urge the council members to support the "People's Proposal" on public land policy. Public land should be used for public good and all the housing units built on public land should be affordable by working-class, low-income, no-income, and currently unsheltered people in the city. Besides, without a standing body of community advisory board, community input, especially from those who have been directly impacted and thus displaced or on the verge of displacement by racist housing and policing policies, will not be adequately reflected on public land policies. The People's Proposal was created by a collaboration among many community groups and council members must take it seriously and make an effort to carry it out.
