This document outlines the agenda and topics for discussion at the first meeting of the City Hall Task Force. The meeting will include introductions, a discussion of what changes to governance City Council can make on its own under provincial legislation, and an open discussion on problems and priorities. The City of Toronto Act gives Council powers like determining the city's governance structure, ensuring accountability and transparency, and dividing the city into wards. Council can also pass bylaws on governance and accountability and delegate some powers. Changes to the municipal code require a two-thirds council vote. Options like de-amalgamation require provincial approval.
The candidate supports expanding Operation Ceasefire to other high crime neighborhoods and increasing Oakland's police force to improve public safety. While some recommendations like increased community policing and measuring community-police relations have the candidate's support, others like investigative staffing in each district require a more comprehensive approach. The candidate believes economic growth is needed to address Oakland's budget issues and will use experience in municipal finance to pay down debt and fund services.
This document is a candidate questionnaire for City Council District 4. In it, candidate Annie Campbell Washington provides positions and plans on various issues. She supports 3 ballot measures, increasing police staffing and funding Operation Ceasefire. She agrees with most recommendations from a 2012 public safety plan. As councilmember, she pledges to end federal oversight of OPD, address street and budget issues, and learn from other cities to improve Oakland's policies.
Peter Y. Liu provides unconventional and often nonsensical responses to questions about policies and plans if elected mayor of Oakland. He dismisses current measures, programs, and recommendations, insisting his "Community Empowered Safety Plan" is superior but provides no details. He advocates disbanding the police force and replacing it with armed civilian neighborhood watches. Liu also expresses a desire to arrest the federal judge overseeing the police department and claims some neighborhoods deserve better infrastructure based on wealth. Overall, Liu's answers lack substance and raise concerns about his ability to govern.
Shereda Nosakhare supports several measures on the November ballot related to public safety, ethics, and redistricting. She agrees with increasing the police force to 900 officers within 4 years and making it the top priority. To improve OPD morale and reduce attrition, she believes the department needs support from city administration and council. While progress has been made under federal oversight, she will support the police chief and work to end court supervision. Nosakhare supports allocating funds from Measure BB to repair streets and wants to explore bonds to fix deteriorating infrastructure. Overall, she is committed to implementing recommendations from past public safety plans and believes metrics and accountability can improve city services over time.
Jill Broadhurst supports several measures to improve public safety in Oakland, including not laying off police officers, expanding Operation Ceasefire, and increasing the size of the police force. She acknowledges Oakland faces major budget shortfalls and says council members must be honest about problems and work towards long-term solutions. Broadhurst also supports implementing recommendations from a 2012 public safety plan to improve policing strategies and community relations.

The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992 aimed to strengthen urban local governance in India. It provided a constitutional status to urban local bodies and sought to ensure regular elections and reservation of seats for women and marginalized groups. It specified the composition and powers of municipalities and their finances. It also mandated the constitution of ward committees, metropolitan planning committees, and district planning committees to facilitate planning at different levels. While the Act led to reforms, its implementation across states remained uneven and it did not fully address the lack of affordable housing in Indian cities. The report examines supply-side constraints affecting housing availability and affordability and recommends measures like reducing market distortions, increasing land and housing supply through various reforms, and viewing housing as a means to access opportunities

An Introduction with Suggested Online Resources
By George Gastil
Prologue
Consider the lives of these three people:
A single mother is raising two young children. One of them has a serious illness and needs medical treatment. Her job pays enough for her to feed her children and rent an apartment, but she does not have health insurance.
An 18-year old student graduates from high school. She is not sure what she wants to do for a living, but she is pretty sure it will involve a college education.
A young couple is looking for a home. They both recently got jobs in downtown San Diego, but they really want to live away from the big city.
These people all have something in common. Each of them is likely to benefit from decisions made by our state government.
The single mother might be eligible for health insurance programs that are funded largely by the state. Even without health insurance, she could bring her child to a county hospital emergency room.
The young student can attend any community college in the state for only $36/unit, just a tiny fraction of the real cost of her education. She also might be able to attend one of the campuses of the California State University or the University of California, where the tuition is higher but the state is still paying a large share of every student’s education.
The young couple will end up living in one of a variety of communities that have been developed according to state and local guidelines. If the community was well planned it will have schools, parks, a library, and other things people value. To get to work they will either drive on state funded roads or use state funded public transportation systems.
State government has a tremendous effect on our daily lives, whether we realize it or not. I think more people need to understand what our state government does and how we can work to make our state more effective. I hope you find this introduction helpful.
