What this proposal says:
یہ تجویز سٹی کا منشور میں ترمیم کر کے چیف بزنس ڈائیورسٹی افسر (CBDO) قائم کرے گی، میئر کو فلم پرمٹس جاری کرنے والا دفتر مختص کرنے کا اختیار دے گی اور آرکائیو بورڈز کو یکجا کر دے گی۔
"ہاں" میں ووٹ دینے سے CBDO MWBEs کی حمایت کرے گا، میئر کو اس دفتر کو نامزد کرنے کا اختیار دے گا، جو فلم کے اجازت نامے جاری کرتا ہے، اور دو بورڈز کو یکجا کر دے گا۔ "نہیں" کو ووٹ دینے سے قوانین میں کوئی تبدیلی نہیں ہوتی۔
