The City last established a new charter almost 30 years ago. Policy experts at SPUR think it’s time for a reboot
A prominent Bay Area public-policy nonprofit has released a comprehensive report on how it would best reform San Francisco government, even as a number of charter amendments seeking to do just that are slated for the November ballot.
San Francisco last overhauled its city charter in 1996, a process SPUR was directly involved with — the first time it had done so in nearly 60 years. SPUR’s study detailed eight recommendations that it claims can “help The City and County of San Francisco’s government work better.” “We do think that there should be a clear evaluation process and some criteria that we’re setting for how we’re evaluating all of the commissions,” Neditch said. “We should run all of those commissions through that lens, and we definitely think that 130 is too many. But how many is not super clear until we do that evaluation.“
