Honorable Mayor and City Council:
We write today to pledge full support of Item 2 of the Agenda for the special City Council Meeting scheduled April 13,
2021.
Our family and neighbors applaud the recent response to requests by numerous residents of our neighborhood in regards
to the blight, safety and sanitation issues at Mitchell Park. In particular we thank City Council, SLOPD and City Parks
Department for allowing our families to once again feel safe at our neighborhood park. In recent weeks we have again
witnessed families picnicking, parents and children playing and the playground in use with happy squeals of delight.
For the reasons cited we support the introduction of an ordinance amending SLO Municipal Code 8.10 and an ordinance
amending Chapter 12.04 and Chapter 12.20. We believe these actions are fair and necessary to ensure neighborhood
safety throughout San Luis Obispo. We have great empathy for all City residents, so in voicing our support to this Agenda
item we also continue to urge City Council to seek solutions to provide shelter, social services and other necessary
actions to address the needs of our unhoused citizens.
Thank you to City Council and City leadership for not only listening to our neighborhood's concerns but for hearing the
seriousness of the safety and health issues that had caused concern, in particular, at Mitchell Park.
Cordially,
Ron Yukelson & Paula Sigman
