Latest status: APPROVED by Mayor
Administrative and Environment Codes - Reducing Reporting Burdens
Current state
The Risk Manager was required to review and update insurance requirements annually to protect the city's interests, and the Office of Contracts Administration regularly reported on the implementation of City laws relating to select employment practices and the use of tropical hardwood by City contractors.
Proposed changes
The Risk Manager will now only review and update insurance requirements as necessary instead of annually. The reporting by the Office of Contracts Administration is eliminated, and instead, the City Administrator will submit an annual list of reports to the Board of Supervisors.
Impact
This will reduce administrative costs by lessening the frequency of insurance requirement reviews and eliminating regular reports on certain employment practices and tropical hardwood use.
Rationale
The changes are intended to protect the city's interests by requiring insurance requirement updates only as necessary, and by streamlining the reporting process to reduce administrative burdens.
Approval process
The legislative process includes amending the Administrative and Environmental Codes, which appears to be done through the Board of Supervisors ordinance considering the involvement of Mayor Breed's signature.
Accountability
The City Administrator is accountable for sending the annual report list to the Board of Supervisors, and the Risk Manager is accountable for updating insurance requirements as necessary to protect the city's interests.
