Attention: Mayor and City Council

Dear Ms. Harmon and Members of City Council,
We are so very fortunate to have James Papp as Chairman of the Cultural Heritage Committee. With his remarkable
background that includes a doctorate from UCLA, work in historic preservation, the California Preservation Foundation’s
Education Committee, teaching art history and cultural studies in Vienna, extensive work in academia, the nonprofit
sector and government administration and oversight, we are the beneficiaries of his extensive expertise.
He is passionate about the architecture and history of downtown San Luis Obispo and has no other interest than that of
preserving the character of our beautiful town. He is direct and honest about his opinions as is necessary when viewing
plans and working with developers whose goals may not be compatible with safeguarding the treasures of the past. We
need his valuable guidance.
Sincerely,
Francine and Michael Johnston
