From the Office of Council President Joe LaCava

Rules Committee Meeting – February 18, 2026 – 9 a.m.

Rules Committee Meeting Agenda

Item 1 – Approval of Committee Minutes

Item 2 - Amendments to Council Policy 000-21

Council Policy 000-21 establishes the procedures related to submission of ballot proposals to the City Council. The policy was last updated in 2021, and the proposed update would add section VI to the Policy Section of the document to strengthen transparency whenever a ballot measure proposal is being considered that has the potential to create or increase fees or rates.

This item would request that the Council District 7 office work with the City Attorney’s office and the City Clerk to draft amendments to Council Policy 000-21, and forward to the City Council for consideration.

The proposed amendments to Council Policy 000-21 include a new Section that states Council shall require a cost-of-service study, or other relevant economic impact analysis, at the time the ballot measure proposal is being considered.

Item 3 - Establishing a new Council Policy regarding property-related fees

The City charges fees for property-related services, including fees for sewer, water, stormwater, and trash services. State law, including Proposition 218 (Prop 218), establishes requirements associated with imposing property-related fees.

The proposed Council Policy would identify Constitutional and state law requirements for imposing or increasing property-related fees, and provide clear, consistent guidelines for conducting cost-ofservice studies, noticing public hearings, and Prop 218 proceedings. The intent of this Council Policy is to promote transparency, public knowledge, and community involvement whenever the City of San Diego proposes to impose or increase property-related fees.

This time requests that the Council District 7 office work with the City Attorney’s office to draft a new Council Policy that addresses property-related fees, and forward to the City Council for consideration.

Item 4 - Informational Item and Request for Input Regarding Amendments to the Rules of Council, pursuant to State Senate Bill No. 707

This presentation will provide an overview of changes to the California Ralph M. Brown Act enacted by State Senate Bill No. 707 (SB707), its impact to the Rules of Council, and an opportunity to provide input on proposed amendments.

This information item and subsequent actions are intended to amend the Rules of Council to comply with the Brown Act and the amendments introduced by SB707.

The Council President’s office, in partnership with the Office of the City Clerk, will provide an overview of the main impacts to the Rules of Council and our current procedures and request public and committee input to ensure compliance with state law. See the staff report for details of changes.

Implementation and compliance are required by July 1, 2026. To meet this deadline, this item will be presented at the Rules Committee meetings in February and March, and to City Council in April for its first reading.

IBA Report Number: 25-15 was issued May 12, 2025, which provided a number of recommendations for Council Policy 200-07 and 200-08. Along with IBA’s recommendations to be reviewed, Chair Whitburn is calling for community members and stakeholders to provide feedback on Council Policy 200-07 and 200- 08 before presenting draft amendments to a future Active Transportation and Infrastructure Committee meeting.

Item 4 - City of San Diego Fiscal Years 2027-2031 Five-Year Capital Infrastructure Planning Outlook

The City of San Diego Fiscal Year 2027-2031 Five-Year Capital Infrastructure Planning Outlook (CIP Outlook) provides information on policy, regulatory, and other criteria used by Asset Managing Departments (AMDs) in determining capital infrastructure needs, as well as the basis for revenue projections of capital funding sources, and other considerations relevant to managing a citywide capital program.

The CIP Outlook is written to follow the annual release of the Five-Year Financial Outlook to help drive more effective long-term infrastructure planning. Information in this outlook reflects feedback collected via public outreach to communities through Aug 2025 and input from AMDs, the Mayor’s office, and Council Members.

The CIP Outlook report is not a budget document. It is a planning tool that enables the sound allocation of resources required to meet the City’s strategic goals that are critical to providing core services.
