SLO City Council members,
As you balance current needs and address challenges for the future, it is imperative that
we maintain connection to the past. Ignoring our heritage is like a person having
amnesia--no sense of identity or origin.
Overall, the City has done a good job of preserving our cultural heritage, especially with
the adobes, but one that needs significant attention is La Loma Adobe. A volunteer
organization has been working on restoring this historic building, and countless hours
have been spent improving the significant landscaping in this remarkable
property. However, it needs more resources and attention from the City. As you plan
your priorities for the next budget cycle, I urge you to include significant funding for this
long-neglected cultural landmark.
Many thanks. I appreciate the difficult job that you have!
Jan William Simek
