Honorable Mayor & City Council Members —
It is disappointing to read that the powers-that-be continue to oppose council districts for the City. However,
there isn't any reason why each of the four council members and mayor could not be randomly assigned to be
the "point person on the council" for one of five geographical sections of the city at the beginning of their term
so that those living in a particular section would have a personal, identifiable point of contact for issues
affecting their particular home, street or neighborhood.
Currently every member of the council is responsible for every area of the city meaning that it is difficult to get
the kind of attention to an issue, problem, concern or situation in a particular neighborhood that is deserved.
We see the results of this daily in terms of unhappiness about how streets have been modified, parking issues,
construction issues and so forth.
Thank you for considering this comment in your deliberations. Please share it with the organization that
brought this to the point that the Council needed to take action to avoid legal problems.
Sincerely,
Todd Katz
3478 Gregory Court,
San Luis Obispo, CA
