Annex: SECOND recommendation of the SC
Revised CDSL 21-01 states that
4 Public Information and Discourse Policy
(A) Permanent changes to public land, outside of the seasonal tree and ground texture changes and official CDS temporary structures for events, have to be announced in the CDS Forum and allow a sufficient comment period to make sure the interests and concerns of all interested citizens can be taken into account by the RA. Public spaces have to be developed in accordance with policy and changes need to be subject to public comment and review.
(B) The duration of comment periods in the CDS Forums is defined in a separate law by the RA.
The relevant separate law is CDSL 17-01 Citizen Notification Act. That law however does not specify any duration of time for public notice other than for the proposed budget and proposed laws and amendments.
It is the recommendation of the SC that the RA amend CDSL 17-01 to specify public notice duration and comment period for proposed changes to public land in accord with the revised CDSL 21-01 requirement to post notice.
