Parking is available at 15th and K Streets. Item #15-2-1 Innovation Task Force Information February 11, 2015 Code for America Update Issue: The Code for America Fellows have spent two full weeks in the region, gaining an understanding of how the regional food system works. In the coming weeks, the Fellows will continue to discover issues to work on through the program, and SACOG and project partners need to identify and acquire universally available data that can be used in the next phase of the project. Discussion: For our Fellowship project in partnership with the City of West Sacramento, the initial phase will be a regional food system issue identification process. The Fellows are engaging with stakeholders from around the region, including: public health officials, school officials, health educators, researchers, farmers, farm bureaus, food aggregators, retailers, and consumers. In February, the Fellows learned from tours and stakeholder dialogue about equity in food access, the economics of agriculture, economic development opportunities in food systems, health and nutrition education, institutional food procurement, and consumer characteristics and preferences. Subsequent work will narrow the focus of the project and the data needed. Looking ahead to full regional deployment, SACOG needs to begin identifying the data that are universally known and available around the region. As the Fellows begin to create, they will need access to data that can cover the entire SACOG region in order to develop a solution that works anywhere for the intended audience. SACOG will work with staff from West Sacramento to identify the data they have made available to the Fellows and begin to acquire the same data sets for the rest of the region. This will help in the early phases, and narrow the scope for subsequent iterations. At the February Task Force meeting, SACOG staff will update Task Force members on the project status, including updates made to the Leadership Council, the Regional Managers Forum, and the CIO/IT Managers working group. Staff will also seek input on possible data sources beyond those identified to date, and additional resources that should be made available to the Fellows. The April Innovation Task Force meeting will occur when the Fellows are in the midst of creating the desired technology, building, testing, and revising their product. SACOG staff will be engaged with the Fellows during this process, anticipating next steps and providing resources as needed. Staff will seek input from Task Force members on issues such as additional data needed, intended audience, and early prototypes. Approved by: Mike McKeever Chief Executive Officer MM:RS:RP:ts Key Staff: Rebecca Sloan, Director of External Affairs and Member Services, (916) 340-6224 Raef Porter, Senior Analyst, (916) 340-6261 Item #15-2-2 Innovation Task Force Information February 11, 2015 Best Pratices Research Issue: Staff is seeking Innovation Task Force input on 2015 Best Practices research and information sharing priorities. Discussion: In 2014, the Best Practices Subcommittee and the Innovation Task Force engaged with SACOG staff for Best Practice research and peer exchange activities. The Subcommittee (Directors Saylor, Rohan and Sander) met in January to review the 2014 Best Practices Activities and High Interest Areas for Research (Attachment A) and develop their recommendation for 2015 Activities and Research. The Best Practices Subcommittee research recommendation is to continue to pursue the High Interest Areas originally identified, with 2015 focus on the following: . Tailored rural, urban and suburban local government land use strategies . Support for economic development planning . Engaging other city/county elected officials . Engaging Board members with each other . Collaboration with other public agencies . Collaboration with other non-governmental organizations SACOG staff conducted a national scan of opportunity regions for best practice research in the focus areas identified by the Subcommittee (Attachment B). Initial Subcommittee interest emerged for further research on: 1) Salt Lake City for the work of the Wasatch Front Regional Council and their non-profit partner Envision Utah; 2) Kansas City for the leadership of Mid-America Regional Council with the National League of Cities’ First Tier Suburbs initiative and regional economic development; 3) Chicago for peer exchange opportunities with Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and their non-profit partner Metropolitan Regional Council during the Metro Chamber’s Annual Study Mission in 2015. The Metro Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) and the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization are also included in the Opportunity Regions Table for further 2015 peer exchange opportunities. Consistent with previous Task Force direction to seek cost effective approaches to the best practices research by leveraging existing regional travel, the Subcommittee recommends extending the Cap-to-Cap travel to accommodate brief visits to Salt Lake City, Kansas City and Chicago as well as creating opportunities with MWCOG while in Washington DC, peer visits to Sacramento, and on-going partnership activities with MPOs in California. The Subcommittee members will present a summary of the 2014 activities and their recommendation for 2015 activities for Task Force discussion.

  • How an Army of Techies Is Taking on City Hall
    How an Army of Techies Is Taking on City Hall By: Anya Kamenetz, November 29, 2010 Fast Company, December 2010/Januarry 2011 Still waiting for a full reboot in Washington, D.C., an army of citizen techies is redefining civic engagement on a hyperlocal level. Ben Berkowitz had a problem. His block of State Street, an expanse of charming storefronts and wood-frame houses that stretches from the border of Yale's campus into New Haven's grittier East Rock neighborhood, kept getting hit with graffiti. The 31-year- old did everything a good citizen was supposed to do: He called the city. He left multiple voice mails. He urged his neighbor to speak up. Eventually, he founded the Upper State Street Association to foster neighborhood pride. But still, the spray paint lingered. "I was feeling that helplessness when you've left three messages, you don't know what the resolution is going to be, and you don't have a way to hold anyone accountable," he says. A programmer by trade, Berkowitz sought a technological outlet for his frustrations. What if reporting graffiti or a broken traffic light or a clogged storm drain was as easy as snapping a photo with your mobile phone? What if that report was sent directly to all the groups that might give a damn, including city hall, the police department, the local utility company, and the neighborhood watch? Even better, what if all your neighbors could see those nearby reports and lend their own voices to apply pressure and get problems fixed? His solution, SeeClickFix, launched in beta in March 2008.

  • Women's History Month
    As part of Women’s History Month, this list highlights just a few of the women who have made notable contributions to the planning field. Not all are planners, having disparate professions and expertise like activist, programmer, and architect. This list was compiled with suggestions by Ariella Cohen, from an online article called Urban Influences: Six Women Making Things Happen in Cities. Jane Jacobs One cannot have a list of notable women in the planning field without mentioning Jane Jacobs. Jane Jacobs was an activist and author in both New York and Toronto, well-known for her unconventional take on planning, architecture and economics in the 1960s. She fearlessly and openly criticized conventional planning practices during that time such as urban renewal, modern architecture and highway projects. While she made a name for herself writing for magazines such as Architectural Forum, she is most well-known for her books The Death and Life of Great American Cities and the Economy of Cities. She introduced concepts such as “eyes on the street” and “social capital”, arguing that the mixed uses that urban renewal was geared to destroy and replace in fact make a city energetic, safe and economically vital. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Jacobs http://www.citylab.com/politics/2011/11/jane-jacobs-and-power-women-planners/502/ Jennifer Pahlka Jennifer Pahlka most recently served as US Deputy Chief Technology Officer for the Obama Administration but is most well-known for founding Code for America. Code for America is a non-profit that aims to make government more transparent and connected.

  • General Plan Guidelines
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA General Plan 2017 Guidelines GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH Director’s Message fter a multi-year effort involving literally dozens of workshops, hundreds of meetings, and A thousands of participants, I am very pleased to present the 2017 version of the General Plan Guidelines. This is the first comprehensive update since 2003, and, not surprisingly, there are many changes. In an effort to reduce time, cost, and burden, we have included hundreds of links to resources, now available by a single click. We have included an on-line mapping tool, free of charge, which allows access to state and federal and other GIS data resources. The mapping tool also allows users to download and add their own GIS layers. OPR will add additional functions to the tool in the future. We have identified changes in the law and added new sections on a number of topics including health and equity. A great deal has changed in California since 2003, and the General Plan Guidelines reflect that. Most importantly, climate change and its implications permeate almost every aspect of the Guidelines, as it must. One thing that has not changed is the importance of the general plan itself and the unique perspective each jurisdiction brings to the process and the plan vision. Going forward, OPR will be adding resources and links periodically, making the Guidelines more of a living document. We encourage you to help OPR identify the best resources and links as part of this effort. Most importantly, we hope that these Guidelines help improve the planning process and promote periodic general plan updates.
