Also if we have water concerns, why are we expanding building? • Other - Ditch the DEI concerns - it didn't work out for the general election and we shouldn't be saddled with it. Question 3 For those of us long term residents, the parking fees imposed for downtown access has made us more likely not to patronize downtown businesses or in town activities- I haven't shopped/eaten/sought entertainment downtown for over 8 months and do not plan to change my mind. Less concern for handing out free/supplemented perks for the homeless who refuse to do anything for themselves would be good. For e.g., any "homeless" shelters where individuals refuse to comply with laws and programs should be met with "reduced" free benefits. Drug abusers disinterested in rehabilitation should be handled with legal remedies should they engage in criminal activities. Revenues could be enhanced by freezing city salaries until the economy picks up considered- especially with programs/departments that are not producing. Monies used for soliciting for DEI appointments/meetings etc should be redirected. City needs to reinforce law/fire enforcement and their efforts to keep us safe as long as the borders remain unsupervised. Thorough transparent budgets - what did you get, where/when/how much did you spend on projects a-z-should be revealed. Evaluation of waste/money pits should be found and dealt with. Tourism is important to our city-working with our hotel/motels --offer a type of parking vouchers would lessen the shock of finding out about them upon arriving to a parking area would be nice. Take advantage of our vineyards and possible wine tasting events. Self- reflection of where monies are being allocated/spent/wasted would seem to be a priority before thinking of raising revenues on either locals or 18 | communityfeedback.opengov.com/14087 Created with OpenGov | December 16, 2024, 8:55 AM 2025-27 Community Priorities Survey What should the City Council consider as top priorities during the 2025-27 fiscal years? visitors.

Now if I have to go downtown for a quick trip, it costs money every time! That is a deterrent to going downtown often. • Other - The homeless concern is real in the open spaces... fire risk is very real for homes near those spaces, especially when homeless try to start fires to keep warm. Smoking accidents are also a major concern. Suggest regular patrol. • Other - Dalidio post office intersection is ridiculous. People from SLO Ranch have to go right at the light, make a u-turn, then go left again at the light. EVERY time I drive by there, someone is making an illegal left turn. Dangerous!

Look at the Thursday Farmer's Market. The city limits traffic and the streets are full of people shopping. Continuing to support bicycle infrastructure (and transit) will make the business areas more desirable, especially if business districts are connected by good bike and transit options. I don't how to tell you how bike and transit helps lower income folks, nor do I have to tell you about how businesses benefit from more pedestrian traffic (as there's case after case of cities finding this). 23 | communityfeedback.opengov.com/14087 Created with OpenGov | December 16, 2024, 8:55 AM 2025-27 Community Priorities Survey What should the City Council consider as top priorities during the 2025-27 fiscal years?

Question 3 Take a hard look at the current usage of bike lanes versus the amount of drivers in cars, and see if the change in road construction is really worth it. Look at current state of the sidewalks on our city streets, some are too narrow for disabled persons and present tripping hazards for elderly, children & dog walkers due to the many cracks and tree root upheaval.

Small grants to them can be leveraged with other grants to accomplish great goals. Larger issues, such as homelessness, should be dealt with in partnership with the County and the many nonprofits also dealing with this. It seems that so many entities are handling these issues in a silo. And as a result, there are multiple agencies trying to handle them and it may not be efficient. Hire one coordinator to bring multiple groups together to more efficiently solve these problems. Also, there is great value in having a central coordinator apply for regional grants [that solve these issues] and then bring in nonprofits to execute them through. The nonprofits are typically so engrossed in their work that they don't always have the freedom to look up and find larger, regional grants. Especially ones that require multiple agencies. But these funding sources can be executed through a variety of organizations. It will, however, need one central coordinator.

Additionally, as the largest energy consumer within the City, City Utilities has an excellent opportunity to install green energy solutions (solar, micro hydro) at its Stenner Water Treatment plant and WRRF that would offer long-term net savings.

For example, rather then increasing infrastructure on collecting trash, work to reduce the production of single-use trash in the City of SLO, which also reduces the City's production of greenhouse gases from the production of single use items. Taking this idea further, the City of SLo and its citizens throw away a tremendous amount of usable items each year (bulky item collection, student Move-out days, etc.). If the City were to put togther plans for a Reuse Park and solicit interested parties to run reuse, repair, and resale stores in one central location (like a reuse mall), there would be many local jobs produced while creating a significant reduction in upstream GHG's currently produced by the City's expanding mneed for goods. This would also create resliiency in the case of disasters, supply-chain interruptions, and the needs of the economically challenged.

Question 3 A Rent Registry is the first step in protecting our residents. A registration fee will offset staff costs. Increasing tenant protections reduces the number of unhoused folks and ensures economic vitality as employees do not miss work due to eviction and landlord abuse. Capping the rent in SLO is a DEI and economic issue. Protecting workers instead of the owning class and the interests of Chamber members, such as property management companies, should reflect our values and be at the top of our list. We will face unprecedented injustices, and protecting our most vulnerable people by keeping them safe and housed is elemental.

Enforcing loitering and nuissance laws against homeless that impinge upon the general population's priorities and enjoyment of our city should be a focus. Adding vitality to downtown is admittedly a daunting task, but things like Shop SLO and getting good anchors in place are sure to further the cause.

In the past year I have seen multiple instances of human feces in the parking structures, a naked man walking though the field by Whole Foods, been shouted at by men walking downtown, etc. I love this town and believe no greater investment in it can be made than handling the homelessness issue so that we can feel safer in this community.

But setting smart priorities helps you create smart budgets. It’s easy to say but hard to do: Pick projects to fund that deliver on fundamental needs and/or have visible and significant impact. I have heard council members express concern about whether they are being fair if they award a big grant here or there, and then are unable to find other worthy projects. Don’t worry about what you can’t do. Focus on impact Does a particular project serve a significant portion of the community? Or does it simply grease a squeaky(albeit worthy) wheel? Go for impact. History (and voters) will reward you. Wishing you all the best.

Bring back 2 lanes on Johnson & Laurel. Allow navigation in & out of shopping center on Dalidio Dr. Add lighting or better bike lane on Tank Farm. Remove the delay in walk/green light. Prado overpass. • Other - Homeless: Move the homeless out who are not from here, they take up police & clean up resources. Question 3 With hundreds of new homes all paying about $800-1000 per month in taxes, plus the added sales taxes, we should have more than enough. Stop spending money on unnecessary bike lanes, weird crossing lights, and repeated/do-over road construction. Stop building the extra parking structure. Get volunteers to work on the new Laguna dog park... $1.5 million for some curbs, fencing and dirt seems like a lot.. people really just need fenced grass areas. Make the 10 hour meters free after 6pm, so the not-rich can spend time and money downtown too... increases sales tax. 52 | communityfeedback.opengov.com/14087 Created with OpenGov | December 16, 2024, 8:55 AM 2025-27 Community Priorities Survey What should the City Council consider as top priorities during the 2025-27 fiscal years?

Homeless population has to be held accountable- clean area and leave without trash.

Our off ramps into our beautiful city are marred with homeless camps for months on end. Question 3 Enforce laws broken by the homeless, we spend so much of tax payer dollars and our downtown is being overrun and businesses are leaving and not coming back. Look at downtown Santa Barbara if you need an example of how homeless can ruin your Downton. I no longer feel safe downtown and going downtown is something we did as a family all the time but with parking fees and the being harassed by homeless people we really don't go downtown anymore. We are a very empathic family, but it has gotten out of control and if you speak out against it you are chastised. Enforce laws, cite people for violations, protect our downtown and our residents more than you currently protect homeless.

It's not working, these people are drug addicted zombies and they need a carrot or a stick and per capita we spend more than most countries and have a worse problem • Other - Make public parks places for families to enjoy and not living centers for drug addicted zombies that we prop up with their endless benefits and funding Question 3 Cut government waste in spending, it's pretty simple. For example, we don't need to be handing out free needles and injection tools for people to shoot up drugs. Revert back to taking care of the citizens who pay taxes and support them by keeping them safe and giving them environments where they feel comfortable going without a CCW. I grew up in the ghetto and moved here 25 years ago to get away from the ghetto. I pay more in the cost of living to live in a SAFE place. It's no longer the safe place it use to be because we are allowing criminals and drug-addicted zombies to take over. Focus on public safety and supporting the police and giving them the tools by making and enforcing laws that punish people for breaking the laws. If people steal, they need to go to jail. There needs to be harsher punishments for violent criminals Name not available November 13, 2024, 11:10 AM Question 1 • I work in the City of San Luis Obispo.

By doing so, it would generate new ongoing revenue that would benefit the city. Importantly, we should be encouraging more infill and increased density so that they truly offset the infrastructure and maintenance costs to the city. I think some importance action items would be to eliminate minimum parking requirements and perhaps allowing four-plexes by-right in all housing zones in the city, thus allowing for gradual densification and greater missing-middle housing.

You've created a feedback loop where you continually have to raise parking prices to pay for parking infrastructure and staffing. It's killing downtown. You've fallen for 1) a very vocal minority complaining about lack of downtown parking, and 2) the fallacy of sunk costs - "we've spent so much already, we need to make this work". Stop the nonsense. If you put the same dollars into a healthy transit system, to maximize bus, bike and pedestrian circulation, we'll all be better off. Several years ago, the City released a graphic showing the cost per mile of walkers, bikes, buses, and single occupancy vehicles, which showed cars to cost taxpayers exponentially more than alternative forms of transportation.

To accommodate increased resources to housing supply policy development, I encourage the City to include its DEI priority from the previous fiscal year into the Cultural Vitality subpriority. Many of the programs currently run through the DEI office could be transferred to Parks & Recreation (for public outreach and cultural events) and Community Development or Finance (for incentive programs), or transferred to local non-profit/private partners, for a net surplus of resource to prioritize housing supply.

If a community has a large public park as part of the potential attractiveness to buyers - it must be completed at the developers costs prior to 50% pf development being sold or at least in the construction phase. A possible higher Mello-Roos tax on new development. Tourist taxes on hotel and similar accommodations. Better public transportation in and around downtown to include the RR District / Cal Poly and the hotel / motels along Monterey Street - Running in a circular pattern covering all the areas mentioned. Reduced congestion in the downtown core - less carbon emissions - allowing people to either walk to transportation stop or even park further out from downtown when visiting. The Downtown Summer Trolley would be a good example. More frequency and expanded route system at an affordable cost - or possibly break-even cost for the service to allow the multitude of benefits to be realized by the residents / tourist / students and city.

Below are a few of my suggestions: 1. One potential approach is to increase revenue through targeted tax increases, such as adjusting property taxes, sales taxes, or other local 79 | communityfeedback.opengov.com/14087 Created with OpenGov | December 16, 2024, 8:55 AM 2025-27 Community Priorities Survey What should the City Council consider as top priorities during the 2025-27 fiscal years? revenue sources. However, this would need to be weighed against the potential impact on residents and businesses, and should be coupled with clear communication about how the funds will be used to meet new priorities. 2. Another option is to reassess and reprioritize current projects and services. The City could reduce or eliminate funding for programs or initiatives that have not demonstrated tangible outcomes or a clear return on investment. This might involve conducting performance reviews to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being spent effectively. 3. The City could focus on streamlining existing services by identifying inefficiencies or areas where cost savings can be achieved without sacrificing quality. This might include leveraging technology, consolidating services, or renegotiating contracts with vendors. 4. For certain high-priority projects, the City could explore public-private partnerships to share the financial burden with private sector entities. These partnerships could provide an alternative funding source and allow the City to focus resources on other critical needs. 5. The City could also pursue additional funding through state or federal grants. While this may not always cover all costs, targeted grant opportunities could help offset expenses for specific projects or services.

Unfortunately, it's situated in a low foot traffic area next to a dangerous high-speed road. Open field space and permitted schools are becoming an issue for AYSO. The lack of available options strains the few permit fields the kids can play on.

Question 2 • Downtown Vitality (e.g., continue to improve safety and cleanliness, invest in infrastructure and maintenance in the Downtown) • Homelessness (e.g., partner with the County and community-based organizations to implement programs that prevent and support people experiencing homelessness, continue City Mobile Crisis Unit and Community Action Team efforts) Question 3 The vitality of downtown San Luis Obispo is essential to the city’s economic health. As the heart of the community and a key destination for tourists, downtown generates significant revenue through sales tax. Prioritizing its cleanliness, safety, and overall experience is crucial to sustaining this economic engine. Addressing the issue of mentally ill homeless individuals is complex, but a focused approach is necessary to ensure downtown remains safe and welcoming. Increased mental health support, along with services located outside the core area, could help achieve this. Additionally, bars and late-night restaurants, which are major contributors to downtown litter and maintenance challenges, should bear more responsibility. Implementing higher fees or targeted levies for these businesses could offset cleanup costs and allow the city to reinvest in maintaining downtown’s appeal. By aligning fiscal spending with these priorities, the city can support a thriving downtown that benefits both residents and visitors.

They should rethink how and where they put the lanes and not minimize the flow of traffic because there will be more traffic here as the city grows. The way they did Madonna road bike lanes or the railroad safety trail should be how it’s done everywhere. Not like Chorro or how grand ave will be. The city can’t expect everyone to ride bikes when most people are commuting here for work because they can’t afford to live in San Luis Obispo.

I hear over and over again that people do not want to venture downtown, to parks etc. because of homelessness issues. That fact impacts the ability of the city to raise revenue through sales tax, parking, etc. Furthermore, cultural vitality means little when you will not go to experience it because you are afraid of being hassled, you children coming across drug paraphernalia, etc. Aggressively addressing homelessness can save money as well by freeing up resources we already have. There is talk of creating new parks etc. when so many existing parks go unused because the unhoused population has made others feel unsafe and unwelcome in those spaces.

That said, the recent (first) parking overhaul was a disaster. And parking is still an issue, even with the reduced rates. The other evening, had I not had a flashlight in my car, I would have been unable to work the parking meter on Monterey Street. (This was never an issue when paid parking ended at 6 p.m.) It's important not to make visitors--whether tourists or locals--feel like they're being bilked. But if you need a source for fees: attach monthly fees to any downtown building left vacant for more than six months. They are a downer for visitors and cut into the city's charm.

Helping homeless off the street and back into the workforce will increase tax revenue, however little, in the long run. Maintaining and improving infrastructure should increase or at least maintain tax revenue in the long run. Our open spaces and public safety will draw more people to visit and live here, increasing tax revenue. All culture related goals should not be the focus of government, but instead the focus of individuals, non-profits, and religious organizations. The homelessness problem requires that the law allows public services to take action that will actually make a positive change in their lives. Forcing them away from addictive substances if that is their struggle and there is evidence that they are not able to help themselves. Forcing them into psychiatric care if that is their struggle and have been professionally diagnosed. All this forcing sounds forceful, but if the only intervention all our non gov orgs can take is a pat on the back and a “you got this!” then I would never get better in their situation. Our non gov orgs have been doing so much work, but so little progress due to legal limitations. I’m not pushing for pre Reagan psych laws, I’m simply advocating that we’ve swung to far in the opposite direction and should push for laws that allow us to take more action.

Focus on the problems that have always been a problem. If we keep pushing away the priorities that have not been addressed yet and try to accomplish new priorities we are not making progress. One bite at a time. The Johnson project that was approved for the homeless shed's was not well thought out. There was grant money on the line and the city was not thinking about the community but rather the money. Adjacent to a residential neighborhood on top of a steep hill with children and schools nearby with zoning regulations thrown out the window to allow this to happen? As much as I would love to think this survey will be read and taken into consideration by the city, I feel like the city will do what they want regardless. The community was given a few days notice for a community meeting about the Welcome Home Village that most residents didn't even know was proposed. I would encourage the city to really engage with the community more and understand our concerns and hopes for this great city of San Luis Obispo so they can adjust and prioritize accordingly.

I am an avid bike rider, 100 miles per week average. Stop with bike infrastructure and bike barriers enough already. DEI is destructive and divisive. Money spent that doesn’t benefit most residents, only consultants and few people. Provide services that benefit majority of residents, public safety, maintenance of roads, streets and city infrastructure and open space.

The city spent millions for the safety lanes on Chorro St, only to take away all emergency pullover areas. No one can get out of the way of emergency traffic without going head-on in the wrong lane with opposing vehicles. I have personally seen a fire emergency where fire trucks and police personnel could NOT access the active fire because cars physically could not pull over to get out of their way. Police vehicles had to park over a block away and run into the scene. It greatly delayed emergency response and could have endangered lives. ALL that was needed was to just paint the bike lanes bright green. Instead the cement barriers and tall planter boxes create a safety hazard, MULTIPLE accidents have happened as a result of those cement barriers AND it is vastly more difficult to see bikes with the planter boxes blocking the view. Traffic on Chorro is greatly increased because all turn lanes have been taken away. I have lived on Chorro for 20+ years and have seen more accidents in the last 6 months than in the last 20 years.

Sure repair our roads, some need to be improved to handle more cars if you continue with out of control building, if not, every time you add a lane it won't be enough to keep up with our growth. Seems our priorities are to give too much preference to growth rather than what make our area so special "the SLO life".

I grew up in San Luis Obispo, and now am struggling to raise my family here. Even though I have a stable job (I'm a teacher in SLO), our rent goes up 10% every year, which makes it impossible to get ahead. There is absolutely no protection for us as renters, and the company (McNamara) tells us every year, "If you don’t like it, them leave." However, there are limited houses with backyards for families in this town. I don't understand why there aren't resources for families who rent and also who want to buy a home. If I educate hundreds of students in San Luis, shouldn't I also deserve to be able to live here without without the threats of astronomical rent increases?

While that is very important, it must be addressed on the state and national level. Local government has no effective power to affect climate change. Doing so is merely greenwashing and a waste of money. DEI is another feel good activity that accomplishes nothing. As a lifelong Democrat and progressive, I am tired of losing elections because our party is identified with programs like DEI that most citizens feel does not address their concerns.

I think that this stifles creative thinking. These include: building height limitations, the idea that public transportation needs to serve all neighborhoods identically, the idea that all open space is sacred and we need every more of it (example: ‘Let it be’ tract on LOVR), clarity about the purpose of downtown in today’s society, and how to positively engage the 12000+ college students who live in our neighborhoods. I haven’t seen any plan for Marsh Street despite the fact that it is peppered with overly large bank buildings and adjacent surface parking that are not likely to stay intact for long. I sympathize with the fact that it’s hard to be visionary when there is a constituency for/ against any changes you might propose, but that is the task at hand.

Question 3 De-emphasize bicycle transportation as I do not see it as a viable alternative in the near term to supporting automobile transportation. To me this means create free downtown parking and create the additional parking options necessary for people who are dependent upon automobiles for transportation. Long-term public transportation may provide viable alternatives but in the near term for a variety of reasons the use of the automobile is the only viable alternative that allows for a vital downtown that can compete with "Big Box" stores, large shopping malls with extensive free parking and most importantly with online purchasing options. I sympathize with 'visionaries' who have promoted the development of bicycle lanes/routes but do not believe they are being well utilized and citizens are taking their shopping and recreational activities away from areas lacking in adequate parking.

We can cut multiple departments/jobs and still have a wonderful city. • Other - Remove all the barriors and confusing bike lanes (I'm a cyclist and despise it). It was fine until the last several years, and now it is FAR more dangerous in numerous locations. • Other - Clean house on the thousands of fees, restrictions, laws, rules, etc. We are not far from living in a 'nanny city.' • Other - End 'sanctuary city' status Question 3 Stop spending needless money. How many hundreds of thousands (if not millions) have been spent on bike lanes (and this is coming from an avid and life-long cyclist)? I have witnessed near accidents on multiple occasions simply from the poor design. I know from Cal Poly classes on city planning that the goal of the political elites is to eliminate cars; well, we folks who employ the political class beg to differ. We want freedom of movement, so stop trying to force bikes down our throats. Many of us take seriously the Pledge of Allegiance which ends with freedom and liberty for all, so we expect the city to do everything possible to make living here as free as possible. Often it seems like the homeless and illegal immigrants have more rights in this town than tax-paying homeowners and renters. Summation: lower taxes and diminish regulations.

There is no sense sending out a $100k plus officer to handle a problem that community volunteers can handle. Question 3 There is a lot of money being spent on PR projects such as the new Chorro bike lanes. In theory, they are a good idea, however the maintenance and upkeep will just keep adding demands to the city budget.

Spending money on ideology goals doesn't help most families struggling to put food on the table and pay their expensive water, sewer, and energy bills. Focus on quality of life where residents can feel safe and enjoy peace and quiet in their homes. Focus on making traffic flow easier and stop spending our tax dollars on complicated expensive and often dangerous bikeways that are hindering traffic flow. Focus on returning our downtown to the quality it used to be by focusing on lowering parking fees and stop giving away our tax dollars in Grants to those who start a business under the city's DEI program but then abandon their business. Focus on helping ALL who want to start a business--not just those who fit within the city's deserving criteria. If the city stops giving away our tax dollars for frivolous ideals, rather than serving our residents so they can have a better quality of life that they can afford, you'll have plenty of saved revenue to focus on the important things residents feel are important. SLO is losing families due to unaffordability and one of the reasons is that the city isn't putting enough pressure on Cal Poly to build sufficient housing for their ever-increasing enrollment. A family in my neighborhood has given up and is moving to Tennessee because they realize they'll never be able to afford a house here. The middle-income families can't afford to live here so focus on programs that can help them.

Find a way to have tourists pay for parking, not residents who have to do business and shop downtown. Encourage Neighborhood Watch programs more.

Thorougly audit city finances. Better financial transparency. Council and mayor appear to be driven more by ideological preoccupations (e.g., climate obsession and ancillary priorities) than by financial and more tangible community problems (e.g., finance and public safety and security). And then there is a nagging concern with government-developer entanglements. Am skeptical that material action will occur.

In fact, remove bike lanes on Broad and Chorro. Remove bike lanes downtown, reduce parking rates further and reinstitute 1 hour free parking in garages to revitalize the downtown area. Keep residential areas free of bike lanes. Enforce rules for bicyclists, otherwise someone will be hit because of not stopping for a stop sign.

I am a retired public policy researcher and volunteer my services as a grant writer for the Community Counseling Center. I would be willing to help. Ellen Morrison emmorrison.slo@gmail.com Please note that the priority of public safety/disaster preparedness includes addressing the many Eucalyptus trees that line our green space and present imminent danger, resulting from fire or flooding, to the residents near the edges. We live at the end of Madonna Road at the foot of the Irish Hills and are very concerned for our home and our neighbors' about the eucalyptus behind our home. After eight years of reaching out repeatedly to the Open Space Manager, nothing was done until we arranged to be interviewed by KSBY. Then, only three tress were removed. More work needs to be done. Oddly, none of the city's green space is identified as high risk in the OES Multiple Hazards Master Layer, so private funds are most likely the best option.

Perhaps the city should deal with the real problems in the city like growing homeless population and stop pouring good money after bad to please a few bike riders.

There are other orgs in town that can promote DEI and culture- but we don't want another org taking over policing or road maintenance. I think if there's an opportunity to make an impact on the other priorities within the budget constraints, great; but if not the city needs to cover the basics.

There are so many empty buildings. Making the process for permitting faster and more affordable to incentivize the transition and rehabbing of empty buildings in SLO might make it more affordable to turn them into low income and middle income housing.

Convert OPEN SPACES to housing, Most open space was originally was zoned to be housing, until selfish transplants took over the council and put it all off limits ,to feather their own property values. 5. Spend less on the Library , as it no longer is a meaningful source for books and learning.

The excessive road rash from tires all over the curb islands show it is obviously not working. Divert active transportation funding toward things that matter to more people - prepping for storms, a safe and clean downtown (specifically, pressure washing city-owned parking structure staircases on a more frequent basis) and supporting childcare so our young families (especially working mothers) have safe and reliable options for peace of mind in order to go back to work.

The homelessness is an urgent need. It makes going to SLO not desirable. Why not visit other areas in the county that have less of a problem? We avoid going downtown much anymore because of the expense of paying for parking along with being accosted by homeless. It doesn’t seem like the city is concerned about all citizens. We have had family members get spit by homeless people coming out of Old Navy. SLO isn’t a great destination anymore. We’ve lived in the area for more than 40 years and only go to a few places anymore (Costco, Target, Panda) because we don’t have to pay for parking and can get in and out relatively easy. We used to live just walking downtown but not anymore. We would love to bring back the safe community it once was.

If you can clean up downtown and get them away from downtown, there would probably be an increase of people going downtown which would increase sales and bring in taxes to the city. Bring in more business that can survive downtown and make downtown what it used to be. It used to be a cool place to go but it is really depressing to go there now with all the businesses gone and the homeless camping out in front of the empty buildings. The sidewalks smell like urine and it's just gross. Also, parking costs to go downtown are high now. It was way better when you got the first hour free.

What are examples of constraints and what are common tradeoffs? This seems very technical. This question seems like it repeats the second question. Also these questions are not concise and are hard to read on iOS. However, there are three main priorities that I have: public safety, public interest, and fiscal feasibility.

It is all very nice and I am grateful to live here. But. San Luis Obispo cannot continue to spend time and resources on transient people who do not want to be helped. The terrible and heartbreaking problems continues to grow . . . ruining our parks, Downtown, tourism, mass transit efforts, the library . . . you name it. Local people who are working and serving the community should get priority for low-income housing. The transient population is another story entirely--they cannot continue to threaten the safety and welfare of the city. Giving them a roof won't help unless they are also given a job and around the clock support to make sure they stay fit enough to continue receiving services. Unfortunately if there must be a tradeoff . . . spending more money on cultural programming, bike lanes, and dei efforts may have to be temporarily shelved while the City focusing on the more disturbing and glaring issues caused by the transient population.

Current zoning makes in-fill construction projects too costly to be affordable for private developers. They only thing that pencils for them are the McMansions, which requires government - and taxpayers - on the hook for low and middle income housing. Government should not have to subsidize housing. We should take the handcuffs off of private developers so they can build more housing for all.

Perhaps we can continue to work to make more streets bike safe, etc. but with an approach that is less expensive and doesn't make it hard for cars to avoid scraping their rims / to see past parked cars when turning onto streets with the new bike lanes. I think working with nonprofits like The SLO Land Conservancy to increase protection of open spaces, which give SLO much of its unique charm, could help to offset costs.

It might also improve efficiency. The City could also evaluate providing services (at a cost) to surrounding communities to generate revenue. Smaller nearby cities might find it more affordable for them to hire SLO services than for them to provide the same services themselves.

Stop hiring unnecessary positions and instead pay essential city workers better so there is higher quality and less turnover. Invest funding into contracts or pre-existing services provided elsewhere, rather than hiring more city positions (Example: County and numerous non-profits already address homelessness - send them funding rather than hiring more City staff.

Or the cost of making the city more bus, bike, and walking friendly. The city can probably preserve the open spaces it has instead of focusing on making new ones. I know many years ago when I was a college student many counties away, all of us had a student fee that contributed to public transit and gave all students free access to local public transit. I would also consider making more fee based public parking lots outside of the downtown area, and having mass transit to get to popular areas like Cal Poly and Thursday Farmer's market.

While the goals are noble, there's scant data to show that DEI staff/ initiatives improves any of its stated objectives. The city needs to be honest about it. Its important to realize that local government does not need staff to solve every problem in society. I applaud the work that's been done on climate/ sustainability, but the ball has been moved down the field, now local government needs to get back to the basics of infrastructure and public safety.

We need to make sure our fire and police service men and women feel supported and respected because they protect us. And our homeless population has started to interfere with the safety of our community. Homeless people are directly impacting all of us when we are in the city of SLO. Recently, on 11/15 I shockingly went to dinner and for a drink after with a friend downtown and we didn’t see a single homeless person. I feel this is a rare experience.

Question 3 Better regulation of aibnbs could help alleviate the abuse of ADU’s for short term rentals only. Streamlining building process, up zoning more areas of the city to build housing next to or on top of CBD, mixing the two for high density infill development. Vacant building tax on vacation homes or homes not fully occupied due to landlords hoarding housing or failing to adjust to market prices.

Giving the cops a blank check doesn’t empower them to solve problems outside of their skills, abilities, and interest. If you want to really be ambitious, you could fine the profiteering landlords who leave their downtown storefronts vacant for the tax write off and diminish the city in the process.

I ride, and these monstrosities are NOT the way to make bikers more safe on streets. We need to focus on preserving/maintaining what makes this town desirable, and not let a few local families/business owners run downtown into the ground. We need a diversity of businesses and activities to attract and keep both locals and tourists coming to all areas of the city. We need to make Poly house and service the majority of its students on campus (ie, bars on campus) - this would relieve pressure and allow downtown to diversify and find a new audience to serve. It's really depressing what's happened in the last 15 years to the downtown, and I hope we can reverse this trend. My partner and I moved here from the Bay Area, and that lead to our two sets of parents and multiple siblings also move here. I am happy to see more families here, and the demographics shifting away from only 20 years olds. But our downtown has to improve to keep that happening. I hate to admit that if we were looking to move, SLO might not be on our list anymore. Most days, I'd rather go to AG or Paso or LO to go shopping or dining rather than SLO. Our parking situation was never great, but now it's terrible, and more importantly, the overall boredom of yet another bar (owned by one of the 5 people that own all of them) or one more dumb hamburger, pizza joint always going in - it's just sad.

Building more housing decreases cost of living and provides workforce housing for healthcare workers, and can be done in a way that promotes neighborhood health, culture and community and climate resilience lifestyles (e g San Luis Ranch is a great example). Investing in basic safety necessities (police,.fire, infrastructure maintenance) increases quality of life and is a foundational service of local government that needs to always be prioritized.

For example, prioritizing denser, more affordable infill housing will address the need for more affordable housing supply, potentially reduce/prevent homelessness, improve downtown vitality, and address climate action and sustainable transportation goals by allowing people to live closer to where they work, thus reducing vehicle miles traveled and allowing for alternative transportation choices.

I don't have any answers there. I suppose given tradeoffs are required, I'd prioritize affordable housing and homeless prevention for residents on the edge over spending on arts, e.g. painting electrical boxes and theatre spending. I saw how many pages in the zoning ordinance are related to painting electrical boxes and cringed; some are kinda pretty, but.... Also, I'd prioritize spending for very low income residents on the edge, often locked out of housing completely, over spending for middle income earners who WANT to buy homes yet CAN afford to rent. I get the inclination toward home ownership, but the public interest in in housing for all people, not necessarily ownership for everyone who wants to own.

We saw homelessness undermine the safety of downtown Santa Barbara on State Street. • Other - Invest more political will and put more effort into reducing the trash and litter left behind by people experiencing homelessness. The litter is often left for days sometime weeks around SLO, a tourism driven city. Enforce bans on homeless encampments. Question 3 I would like the City to put a pause on bike lanes (there are a lot of unhappy SLO residents with the Chorro bike lanes and planters) and focus on the homeless encampments and illegal campers in our city. Many of our city parks and downtown benches have turned into living areas for people experiencing homeless.

If no one has disposable income, I’m not sure how they are supposed to support local businesses or contribute to local economy. An average of $1,900 for a one bed room is unsustainable and we can’t keep letting landlords use college students as an excuse to price gouge.

We've spent the last few years drastically altering our primary transportation corridors, increasing utility prices (water, sewer, power), etc. to the detriment of everyday residents who want to enjoy the town we pay a ton to live in. The city should maximize access to downtown, which is a revenue generating hub for the City. Make it easier for residents to access our best restaurants for pick up, or visit our local small businesses. Every project downtown makes it harder, not easier, to access this area. You would argue back that increasing bike access is making accessing downtown easier. For the single, younger, non-parents... sure downtown may be easier to access. But for my wife and I to bring our kids? No, it's not easier at all. For those with physical ailments? No it's not easier at all. So many decisions made around mobility and access and transportation are for the childless and the (very) healthy. I ride my bike to work, but that's where it ends. The majority of the community has been negatively affected by these changes that make things "easier" for a select few, elite members of our community. Our roads are in poor condition. Have you been on Broad south of Orcutt? What about South Higuera near Industrial? It's awful. This is one of the primary functions of the City and we can't do it apparently.

Over the past four years, it has been disappointing to see the increased amount of empty retail spaces and unhoused individuals in crisis downtown. As a renter for over 10 years in SLO, it is also disappointing how few rights we have– basically every landlord I’ve ever had could be considered a “slumlord.” My husband and I make over $160k per year and our house has a fence that is chipped/falling down, termites, mildew/mold, and a non-functioning fireplace (due to the landlord’s refusal to fix it). SLO should expand renter’s rights and mandate annual/bi-annual inspections of rentals to ensure that they are meeting City codes and ordinances.

Remove the protected bike lanes out of Chorro & Romona street, completely ridiculous and dangerous, rip them out.

Redirect resources from underperforming areas to new priorities. Reassess Niche Projects: Stop creating new bicycle paths that primarily benefit a select few. While promoting alternative transportation is important, resources should be directed toward projects that provide broad benefits and serve a larger portion of the community. There seems to be a lack of accountability among city and county employees and the resulting waste of resources. It often feels like there is no clear oversight or expectation of responsibility when it comes to project management, service delivery, or budget use. As a resident, I’ve observed inefficiencies that suggest resources are not being utilized effectively—whether it’s unnecessary delays, incomplete tasks, or poorly executed projects that require rework. This not only wastes taxpayer dollars but also erodes public trust in the city’s ability to serve its constituents. Accountability measures should be a priority. Regular performance reviews, clear project benchmarks, and transparent reporting would go a long way in addressing these issues. We need city employees and leadership to prioritize efficiency, responsiveness, and fiscal responsibility to ensure our community is being served in the best way possible.

Decent city roads, sidewalks parks and other city maintained recreation sites woukd be maintained regularly. The idiotic waste of money the city is wasting on slowing auto traffic downtown is an absolute waste of my tax dollars,fees and Federal and State Grants. Cutting sitting streets to one lane each way is not helping our crowded street situation. How many bikes do I see use Pismo Street, where I live, in a day. Not very many. Skateboarders using the bike lane, going against the traffic is a favorite accident waiting to happen. Pismo Street needs to be two traffic lanes to help with congestion. Oddly, Pismo Street is now a route for city buses to get to lower Higuera. There is not ONE bus stop on Pismo Street between Johnson and Higuera. The city wants EVs driving in town. How many charging stations are available. Not near enough. Who'd ride their bicycle down Pismo Street in the designated lane, then onto Higuera, Madonna and Los Osos Valley to buy $200.00 worrh of Costco supplies? How often do the buses run that route? Where are the oassengers on the city buses tooling around town? Pave the roads, fix the accessibility on city sidewalks and maintain city parks. Use some of your city employees in the utility department to actually do accounting of payments instead of citizens mailing payments to Pasadena. The city is only seriously interested in salaries and pensions. Period. Name not available December 10, 2024, 5:13 PM Question 1 • I live in the City of San Luis Obispo.

Travel by bicycle is healthy and should be encouraged, but not at the expense of taking parking spaces from SLO residence. Automobiles are being squeezed out of SLO and I choose to shop outside the downtown area because parking is so expensive and hard to find. 359 | communityfeedback.opengov.com/14087 Created with OpenGov | December 16, 2024, 8:55 AM 2025-27 Community Priorities Survey What should the City Council consider as top priorities during the 2025-27 fiscal years?

Question 3 One example is Looking at the Serra Meadows and Toscano developements: They sell within days of listing!!! 360 homes. There could be a fee that the city charges to enhance bus and bicycle transit. eg there is no safe bike path to town nor is there safe bike transit along Tank Farm. Why would these developments be allowed without FIRST considering what happens on move in day??? How do I get to town? oh I guess I have to drive? and now the pattern is set forever. eg there could have been a bike path under PG&E along margarita Rd then up S. Higuera all the way to town separated by curb not lines. The same to the south to Tank Farm. ALL of this could have been paid for by the EAGER buyers!!??

Question 3 They should have thought of that before they threw all that money away on those bike lanes that aren't being used. We can take some money out of the public art budget and the profits from parking and put it towards public safety. If you're going to allow SLO to be alcohol based there needs to be compensation for more law enforcement. The law enforcement also needs to partner with Cal Poly, who brings in a huge percentage of revenue and make that campus safe. They have a rediculously inadequite police department and that reflects on the reputation of our city.

Encourage people to open businesses here through investments and tax breaks (not the landlords who monopolize the leases) Question 3 Fiscal responsibility and cutting taxes is very important. Revitalizing downtown with encouraging new business owners and different ideas is key. Why are so many store fronts empty? Cut through the red tape and make it easier for new businesses to open.

It doesn't matter how beautiful a city is or how many murals or art installations it has, if the people in it are barely surviving or have nowhere safe to rest their heads. I also understand tourism is very important to our town, but I think the focus of City funds needs to be on the people who live and work here, as opposed to those we are trying to attract to come visit. (We do need to attract more medical professionals to live here, however, as having to wait a year for a routine appointment is pretty ridiculous and frustrating, given the current lack of availability in that realm.) Cleanliness and safety is of course extremely important, but I think beautification / cosmetic updates beyond that are unnecessary in the face of so many people struggling. Additionally, there are very large commercial spaces downtown that have been sitting empty for YEARS, while folks are sleeping on the sidewalks in the cold or the heat. It seems like such a massive waste for spaces like that to sit empty when people are freezing and constantly having to find a place to rest and keep their belongings. I don't know that turning those specific spaces into living space for folks experiencing homelessness is the solution, but could other businesses move into those spaces, freeing up their prior space to be turned into shelters or transitional housing? Could some sort of affordable childcare or preschool be established in one of those spaces, for all the folks who work downtown or in SLO? Could they become places that provide free or low-cost medical care to local residents? I understand it is challenging to rent out spaces like that, but I believe something needs to be done to make those spaces actually useful to the community, instead of folks wondering when they will ever not be empty again.

Homeless people living in their cars & rvs shouldn't just be okay. It's gotten bad down Sacramento in SLO. Affordable homes should be #2. A million dollar plus homes are not affordable. Condos and more apartments isn't really the answer either. Lots of beautiful spots to build on the outskirts of town and stop cramming houses into such tiny spots. These new houses are 3 inches apart from each other.

Seek grant funding or public-private partnerships to offset costs and support local green economy development. Align transportation initiatives (e.g., bicycle and pedestrian enhancements) with climate goals to maximize impact without duplicating efforts. Childcare Expanding childcare options is critical for community well-being. The City could: Encourage private investment through zoning incentives or tax breaks for businesses that incorporate childcare facilities. Partner with schools and community organizations to co-locate childcare centers in underutilized public spaces. Integrate childcare support into workforce development initiatives tied to economic recovery. Homelessness Addressing homelessness effectively requires strategic resource allocation: Focus on prevention programs that reduce long-term costs, such as rental assistance and eviction prevention services. Partner with the County and community organizations to leverage shared resources and expand program reach. Evaluate the Mobile Crisis Unit and Community Action Team to ensure these programs are optimized for impact and align with broader efforts. Housing Supply and Affordability To address housing supply while managing fiscal constraints: Prioritize affordable housing projects that qualify for federal or state funding. Streamline permitting processes and reduce fees for developments meeting affordability criteria. Encourage mixed-use developments that integrate housing with economic opportunities to generate offsetting revenues. Sustainable and Multi-Modal Transportation Enhancing transit, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure can be approached incrementally to fit within budget constraints: Focus initial investments on high-impact projects, such as safe routes to schools or transit hubs. Partner with regional transit agencies and pursue grants to fund major infrastructure improvements. Encourage public-private partnerships to support shared transportation solutions, such as bike-sharing programs.

The impacts of this has made the city the biggest carbon pollutionter. Question 3 The city needs to look at how it wastes taxpayer money instead of looking to take more money away from citizens. Money you take from residents is money that they are not spending at local businesses. For instance, were new logos for city vehicles ($750 each) the top priority for residents?

A lack of housing contributes greatly to the issue of homelessness downtown, that makes some shoppers feel unsafe. Turns out if you have a place to live and shower, you aren't considered homeless anymore, and are therefore not seen as scary or to be avoided. When people have housing and childcare, they have more money they can use to support local businesses downtown. I think priority should be given to housing, given the ripple effect it will have on improving other elements of our city. I am also passionate about public transportation, though I think we do a pretty good job, and I am passionate about having open spaces downtown that allow shoppers to sit and rest so they can continue to shop and support small businesses for longer durations of time.

Rather than directing the majority of city funds to a limited number of organizations (e.g., CAPSLO and 5Cities Homeless Shelter), the city should explore expanding programs and services to more effectively tackle these underlying issues. Furthermore, the city’s investment portfolio should serve as a reflection of its values and priorities. While the quarterly investment reports briefly reference ESG considerations, a closer look at the city's holdings and the portfolio's management reveals inconsistencies. Greater alignment between the city’s investments and its stated values is essential for long- term growth and community trust.

I feel that it is important to build into the fiscal and staffing budgets the ongoing support for these newer or more enhanced features. There are bound to be pressures on all categories of budgets as the years go on, perhaps an in house living system of priorities might be useful. Also, partnerships and co-authored and managed civic and cultural events may be a good way to spread some of the pressures and responsibilities, while expanding the cultural experience for our community.

With fiscal constraints, the city must make the hard decisions to focus on the priorities that daily impact resident's lives. When their is surplus, then new projects can be considered. Don't over complicate this by pandering to trending ideas and, please, don't go the weak way of raising taxes or fees, like the recent downtown parking issue. The city must be prudent even if it appears unpopular in today's culture of people who expect much with no sense of sacrifice and delayed gratification. Let's do the adult thing with fiscal restraint and sticking to the important priorities of meeting the basic needs of our community first.

Tourists bring money, but the bookkeeping might not show a direct connection between an improvement made by City budgeters and the tourist money generated. One aspect that resonates with many visitors, I imagine, is that SLO has been a vital hub since before the Americans came, and La Loma Adobe was here at that time, when Spanish and Mexicans were advancing the material quality of life in the area. (Recent Optically Stimulated Luminescence dating tests have determined that at least part of La Loma Adobe was constructed as early as 1782, making it one of the oldest structures in California.) It is a potential mecca for those interested in Mexican heritage and American history, just like the Mission, which is prominent in the City's emblem. As has been seen by the flight of people from downtown SLO due to the direct monetization of their visits via parking fees, offsetting revenue directly can create direct offsetting of quality of life perception. Where La Loma Adobe is concerned, I urge the City to continue its support for the long-range value of this irreplaceable monument to SLO's history by continuing to allot funding for its rehabilitation.

Question 3 I think the rangers could be divided to create a small trail program with employees who specifically focus on trail construction and maintenance, while leaving the rest of the rangers to focus on restoration and tree planting projects, enforcement, general maintenance, and education and outreach. While the ranger service has done an excellent job completing trail projects year after year and developing their trail construction expertise, the current ranger service doesn't have a position that would attract skilled trail designers/builders nor a reliable way to maintain the current trail construction/design expertise were the existing staff to leave.

Question 2 • Open Space (e.g., preserve, maintain and enhance open space and natural areas) • Other - Acquire and permanently protect more open space.

Question 3 Spend less on bike stuff and more on pedestrian stuff. The very expensive bike stuff panders to a small but powerful minority, while we all walk, and this is unfair. Encouraging walking is a far better target than fancy bike facilities for cutting carbon emissions. The amount of carbon going into the bike stuff will never be compensated for by bike use. Quit hiring costly consultants to tell staff how to sneeze. If staff don't know how to sneeze, we need different staff. At present the city is apparently incapable of doing anything without first hiring a consultant. Get rid of the city's public relations department, contract firms, and staff. They are unnecessary and their products annoying.

To achieve this, we could consider the following adjustments while remaining focused on our top priorities: Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility: Continue to implement efficiencies across City operations and explore opportunities to generate revenue through strategic economic development. This might include leveraging partnerships, optimizing fee structures, or identifying grant opportunities to fund new initiatives without overextending resources. Addressing unfunded liabilities remains a core component of this strategy. Homelessness: Strengthen collaboration with the County and community-based organizations to maximize the impact of existing programs and ensure resources are being utilized effectively. Maintaining support for initiatives like the Mobile Crisis Unit and Community Action Team could be integrated into broader regional efforts to reduce redundancy and improve outcomes. Housing Supply and Affordability: Prioritize housing projects that directly align with workforce and low-income housing needs by streamlining approval processes and targeting incentives. Exploring public-private partnerships can amplify the City’s efforts without requiring significant additional expenditures. Infrastructure Maintenance: Focus on preventive maintenance strategies to extend the lifespan of current infrastructure, reducing long-term costs. Consider reprioritizing capital improvement projects to address the most critical areas—such as high-use roads, parks, and sidewalks—while deferring non-essential projects until fiscal conditions improve. Climate Action: Leverage the City’s Climate Action Plan for Community Recovery to identify initiatives that provide dual benefits, such as cost 410 | communityfeedback.opengov.com/14087 Created with OpenGov | December 16, 2024, 8:55 AM 2025-27 Community Priorities Survey What should the City Council consider as top priorities during the 2025-27 fiscal years? savings and emissions reductions. For example, energy efficiency projects or investments in green infrastructure could yield immediate and long-term savings while advancing climate goals. Supporting the local green economy through partnerships or small-business grants could also generate revenue offsets.

Question 2 • Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility (e.g., continue to implement efficiencies, strategic economic development, and plans to address unfunded liabilities) • Open Space (e.g., preserve, maintain and enhance open space and natural areas) • Other - Laguna Lake, as the council has promised many times , needs to be dredged. It is the largest asset the city has. Please don’t let it continue to dry up. Question 3 You received grants for dredging but did not do it.

Question 2 • Climate Action (e.g., implement the City’s Climate Action Plan for Community Recovery to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for the impacts of climate change, and develop the local green economy) • Homelessness (e.g., partner with the County and community-based organizations to implement programs that prevent and support people experiencing homelessness, continue City Mobile Crisis Unit and Community Action Team efforts) • Housing Supply and Affordability (e.g., facilitate increased production of all housing types designed to be economically accessible to the area workforce and to low and very low-income residents) • Sustainable and Multi-Modal Transportation (e.g., enhance accessible transit, bicycle, and pedestrian opportunities) Question 3 Dramatically reduce the budget for the police. There are always an outsized number of officers responding to minor incidents or, god forbid, a homeless person needing help. It’s a horrible misprioritization of city funds.

Question 2 • Downtown Vitality (e.g., continue to improve safety and cleanliness, invest in infrastructure and maintenance in the Downtown) • Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility (e.g., continue to implement efficiencies, strategic economic development, and plans to address unfunded liabilities) • Homelessness (e.g., partner with the County and community-based organizations to implement programs that prevent and support people experiencing homelessness, continue City Mobile Crisis Unit and Community Action Team efforts) • Other - Remove green way bicycle lanes and curbs. Restore city streets and parking areas. • Other - Improve infrastructure to match the level of homes being built. Dalidio overpass to Damen Garcia fields is needed. Traffic is congested everywhere. Question 3 Stop spending funds on unnecessary bicycle infrastructure that is barely used by bicyclists and creates narrower streets, less safe driving conditions, and difficult parking. Keep focus on projects that benefit the citizens’ needs. Avoid projects of special interest groups such as “REACH” who are pushing political agendas at tax payer expense. Maintain the original small town feel of SLO and only approve projects that support that focus. Make it a priority. Tall buildings are destroying the view and charm of the town. Traffic congestion from increased building without increased infrastructure is making driving a challenge. Large housing projects without adequate parking and infrastructure are choking city streets. Narrowing streets for bicycles only worsens the situation especially when few bicycles are using them. Require developers and their projects to add charm to the city that reflects the heart of our town rather than an industrial feel of tall buildings with little architectural appeal. Thanks.

As someone who lives near Santa Rosa park, I am scared to bring my children to the playground because of the large amount of homeless and transient groups gathering at the bathrooms and nearby areas. It's such a shame and it seems like there is nothing the city is doing about the problem to get these people out of public spaces. Most seem like they don't want help, they are just polluting the city with their trash and lack of contribution. Wish we could bus them elsewhere.

If people actually care, they might go and ask some of the people who had to 'do something special' for the building department to be allowed to build.

The funder (e.g. corporations, private universities, etc.) then uses the reductions to help them meet some of their Scope 3 (indirect) GHG reduction needs. Talk with McGee Young from WattCarbon for more details. WattCarbon can a city sell quality Energy Attribute Certificates from built environment efficiency improvement programs the city wants to implement for their community. The revenue can help the programs succeed and provide lower utility costs to participating community members.

Landlord owners will no doubt want to pass it along to their renters. Renters benefit from city programs as well, so limit such a pass-off to a reasonable amount that can be levied on landlords' in-city renters. Consider lightening the impact of such a tax on property owners over 65 or limiting such a tax on landlords who rent out more than one unit; and/or limit a hike in rent on renters over 65.

Question 3 There is so much speeding going on in the 25 mph zones that if you strategically place cameras and send out the ticket to violators....$$$$!!! In the long run, consider striping roadways in the 25 mph zones with 10 foot wide travel lanes. On my residential street (Lincoln) the drivers have 14' wide travel lanes. Our freeways are striped at 12'. No wonder the drivers are taking it at 40- 60 mph!! It's truly disturbing. And the noise that the speeding causes. Ugh!!

Make it safe with lighting, bicycle cops to patrol, do not allow loitering, camping, or encampments, and add in trash bins that are dumped daily. Connect from Madonna, to S. Higuera, to Elks over Prado Question 3 We want to first start off by saying thank you for sending out this survey and asking what's important. Our first thought to offset the revenue, having the city reevaluate the ATC plans for street transformation with protected bike curbs, shrinking lanes or getting rid of lanes, when we can just create bike/walk/run paths off the street across the city. It's important that we keep the uniqueness of SLO that has been what separates our city from others. Local shops, restaurants that are local to our coast and area, with some definite good restaurants that share the worlds taste and flavors that are locally owned and operated. We do not need any more big box stores or chain restaurants. WE HAVE TOO many Starbucks.............why are we allowing so many in our city? I know we need more housing from the STATE of California's view, however as we are learning today, San Luis Ranch is just to tall and too many homes crammed into an area of development. We just came back from S. Lake Tahoe and they have the exact same issues we do in SLO. Housing cost high, rents high, and the work force must travel in to work. We all have to start somewhere, start off young and work our way up. My husband was born and raised here for the past 62 years, and I came over from Clovis in 1986. I have almost been in SLO for 40 years, I am only 57, and what I have noticed is the last few City Council boards have just wrecked what was, the tiny town charm downtown, the parking downtown [cost to the point] we have driven away the locals, the challenge our city faces with the growing displaced people population, the rising issues of the SLO Creek, its contamination, the Prado road nightmare and how it spreads all over the area in the S. Higuera space and all over town. We are moving in the right direction getting more housing for those who need it desperately, however, more will just come. We cannot solve the worlds homelessness in SLO, we can work in a direction to minimize the impact as a whole. The spread of the City towards S. Higuera side of town and across Tank Farm and Buckley are inevitable, however we need to bring back the magic of downtown SLO. We live in such a wonderful place, it's so amazing, and it's a great place for many to visit and dream of living here someday. Let's take back our streets, build off street and safe bike/walk/run paths on the sidewalks, connect the ones we have, save those funds and plan for the next decade to have more locally owned shops back in the downtown, those that bring us the uniqueness like the Hands Gallery, Thrifty Beaches, the SLO Mission Events, Kracken Coffee [too many long time places gone now and lots of open space in downtown], focus on the events that make SLO amazing like Concerts in the Plaza, Farmers Market, and more fun for families locally. Most citizens would all like the city council to reach out to the community as they are doing now and with this survey [AND LISTEN] to what the protected bike paths have accomplished or not. Many would like to know the true population that actually bikes in our city for work and for fun? What is that number. And move in a direction that supports those that drive, those that walk/run, those that need and want to bike, what about our bus system? I can't even imagine a bus trying to drive down N. Chorro with the shrinking of the lanes. Out and about in SLO is the focus! Many of us just love our lives, just not the recent changes in the last 10 years. I will say the changes to the Buckley Road access is excellent. Getting the Prado Interchange done, bridge widened, and the connections from Prado Tank Farm and/or Broad Street would be excellent to help with traffic flow. Infrastructure needs to be a high priority. Building homes without better access and traffic flow across the city is very apparent now. We are all looking forward to what is in store for our wonderful city of SLO.

A complete NIH study of the low dose radiation emitted by Diablo CNPP. Diablo doesn’t monitor radiation that affects the public. NIH says this is imperative. Acquire and permanently protect more open space. Less than one third of greenbelt is now protected. Address lack of primary care providers/specialists. (Create incentives for healthcare providers to be able to live and work here when often they may be straddled with high school debt. Address parking fees/policies to encourage more downtown visitors/business. Bring back "first hour free" in the garages? Address severe lack of access to medical care in the community - a problem that exists among all sectors of the community Adequate medical care - with the need for more specialized Doctors and more Doctors in general Adjust parking fees for local residents so they are not so exorbitant. Bring back to first hour free for SLO residents Affordable Housing for everyone all new council members that will not destroy the city any further All you do is build, build, build which creates more traffic. Then you reduce traffic lanes and do nothing about reducing traffic congestion Alleviate traffic congestion. It’s getting out of control. It’s Allow more housing to be built with less cost for city fees And equal balance between students and community members. As we grapple with increased population density the well being of our neighborhoods is degrading. The city has ordinances such as parking districts and noise ordinances. These are not being effectively enforced and additional personnel are needed. Attract and retain Drs and medical assistants to the community Availability of Health Care Away from the road bike ways. Balanced Budget: do NOT raise taxes, but lower them, AND do not spend more than we take in. We can cut multiple departments/jobs and still have a wonderful city. Better lighting in neighborhood near Cal Poly because walking at night sketchy. Better opportunities for the non-student/elderly population of the city for things such as jobs, housing, and community assistance. Better/cheaper parking downtown Bike infrastructure Broad Street Area Plan to be part of the 2025-2027 budget/Major City Goals Broad Street Corridor improvements Broad Street needs to be restriped, especially the "chicken" lanes. The yellow is so faded that it is hard to see. I know this falls under Infrastructure, but it needs to be done. Broad Street Safety Broad Street south of South St. toward the airport has become a speedway, and a pedestrian threat. More crosswalks are needed to slow traffic & improve public safety. Build dog parks Build more lit sports fields for youth sports. (Soccer, football, etc.) Build Righetti Community Park Page 1 Build the park in Righetti Ranch Build the park on Ranch House Rd Building a community run BMX Track Change policies prohibiting drive through customer pick ups for businesses. This will help disabled and senior citizens. Changing those awful crosswalk lights that blink red when it's time to go. What the heck!!? City noise reduction. We have so much noise from highways that is constant. Can we reduce it.m? Can we also reduce noise from motorcycles and cars with illegal pipes that scare my children and make our streets uncomfortable? Can we enforce these laws? Clean air in multiunit housing including giving tenants the right to clear air by eliminating exposure to mold and and secondhand smoke Clean air in rental housing by eliminating exposure to mold and secondhand exposure Clean air in rental housing by eliminating exposure to mold and secondhand exposure Clean air in rental housing by eliminating exposure to mold and secondhand exposure Clean air in rental housing by eliminating exposure to mold and secondhand smoke exposure Clean public areas, no human waste or trash.

Stores in San Luis Obispo are not being patronized due to lack of parking or high parking costs. Average citizens no longer shop in downtown areas. CSOs added to neighborhoods near Cal Poly for noise enforcement Decreasing vacancies in downtown slo (lowering rent for businesses/shops/restaurants) Deregulate housing & retail Divest from Genocide and weapon manufacturing companies Don't overdevelop past our resources (water). Downtown Economic Development (e.g. infill vacant commercial suites, especially larger ones) Downtown parking Dredge the lake and increase recreation and water storage Driver are exceeding the limit in Residential neighborhood. All the protected bike paths and ped. crosswalks will not suffice as long as folks are driving three times the allowed speed in our residential neighborhoods. Drug addiction programs. Economic Development & Sustainability Eliminate downtown parking fees like Paso Robles did! Eliminate homelessness. Get people off the streets asap. If folks aren't adding value to our community, need to provide bus tickets out of town. This must be a priority. Eliminating the rural designation for physicians’ reimbursement Empower city police officers to quickly deal with homeless encampments so that encampments don't negatively impact SLO tourism and the lives of citizens living in SLO. We saw homelessness undermine the safety of downtown Santa Barbara on State Street. Enacting tenant protections, a rent registry and cappign rent will help our most vulnerable in our community (DEI issue, public safety, our values) and will be all the more necessary with lack of federal protections. End high parking rates. Return to first hour free. I have lived here for over 30 years. I hate what YOU have done to downtown. I NEVER go there. Parking is a NIGHTMARE. Energy access and affordability Enforcement of the noise ordinance - Better training/understanding by SLOPD Enhance off-road bicycle facilities such as the Laguna Bike Park and possibly a velodrome Ensure sufficient water before approving additional housing & let us know the sources that will provide that water. Expand and maintain Section 8 housing opportunties Expand healthcare availability Expand Parks and Rec Activities for adults (not just softball) Expand tax breaks for Veterans with 50% disability (currently only for 100% rating) Expand tenant protections, establish a rental registry, stabilize rents, prohibit no-fault evictions, and close loopholes in the Tenant Protection Act Expand the 'attractive' center of SLO expanding the vitality of the downtown core to other areas - these should be linked by pedestrian-only corridors Expanded retail sector (better shopping options) Page 3 Family activities and options for teens Family swim center Find ways to attract more medical doctors. There is a huge lack of primary doctors and specialists, especially for those of us on Medicare, which pays less in this area Find ways to encourage everyone, including seniors to shop, eat, walk downtown. Have some free parking. I am a 77 year old, low income senior and I feel totally left out of your plans. Finish the loooong overdue park construction in Righetti/Noveno neigborhood Finland - Follow their model for Homelessness Fitness - Recreation Fields - Outdoor Gyms Focus in bringing new businesses to downtown SLO and fill empty storefronts Focus on bringing in small businesses and making it affordable .ie large property holders shouldn’t own half of downtown slo Focus on the family. Create sports complex for youth events, invest in middle class housing with incentives for 1st home buyers and families, encourage businesses which support families. Focus strictly on unilateral infrastructure type projects. Nearly all your examples are left leaning. Focus on the basics, roads, parking, crime, parks. For infrastructure, look at maintenance of the flood control channel at Madonna and Oceanaire to ensure it does not flood the neighborhood. Remove debris Formally recognize and come out against the genocide of the Palestinian people and our role in it Free parking like all small towns. FREE PARKING!

Partnership with historic organizations would help, I am not in it or have any relations, but sons of the American revolution SLO branch seems to do a good job with aiding in this. Homelessness but NOT through the ineffective spending and approaches you listed. Housing affordable is HUGE! Esp for those of us who aren't under the poverty line but have one parent /one income homes! Housing for Veteran's, not those who choose homelessness because they do not wish to follow rules that may be enforced by housing authority. Also if we have water concerns, why are we expanding building? I actually like the present goals very much. Keep working on them! I consider progressing with efforts to remove accumulated sediments, and reduce the deposits of new sediment, to Laguna Lake, as both Infrastructure and Open Space maintenance and enhancement. Please continue those efforts on a regular basis. I don’t know why I’m taking this survey. The city council listens to the business community and Cal Poly and does what they want, trying to make it sound like it’s the will of the citizens. I live in the Righetti Ranch neighborhood. The park we were promised is long overdue, so I hope that construction begins very soon. I request that the City prioritize funding in the 2023-2025 Budget Cycle for La Loma Adobe; To stabilize, restore and rehabilitate this unique 2-story adobe on Lizzie Street and recognize and honor our city's diverse cultural roots.

Recreation Page 8 Recreation parks, more parks for residents Redo Chorro. I was driving down that street the other night and saw a fire truck coming and pulled over to wait for a couple minutes because otherwise that fire truck would not have been able to pass if the oncoming car and I pulled to the right. Reduce building of tract homes which are using up open space and they are years behind "green building" Stop needing to receive California funding to build build. Reduce noise pollution: Restrict use of sirens to life-threatening emergencies; Enforce the noise ordinance on excessively loud motorcycles and cars Reduce Parking Fees - return to free hour in structure; lower on street to more rational hourly rate Reduce visual pollution! The amount of signs in this city is incredible, just look at the roundabout at Tank Farm and Orcutt, over 70 signs. You can barely see the public art. The amount of signs is out of control Reduce water & sewer rates by creating proactive plans and rewarding homeowners to recycle their own water (e.g., grey water capture) Reducing the cost of living Reducing the number of City employees and expense Reed abatement at Laguna Lake, increase access to Laguna Lake shores. Reinstate free 1 hour parking, and simplify low-tech parking, ie. coin meters instead of smart phone apps. Businesses are starving because of the complicated, expensive parking situation. Make it easy and affordable and businesses will thrive again! Reinstate the hour and 1/2 free parking for locals. Even with structure availability, I still tend to avoid visiting the downtown as 1 hour isn't enough time. Remove all homeless from downtown Remove bike lanes and odd parking and curbs, stop the expansion of that practice now Remove Cal Poly's fraternities from R1 & R2 neighborhoods Remove fraternities from neighborhoods where not authorized. Remove fraternities from R-1 neighborhoods. Remove green way bicycle lanes and curbs. Restore city streets and parking areas. Remove homeless from downtown and creek areas. Remove homeless from downtown and make downtown more appealing. Remove parking meters from downtown and put them in the giant parking lots at the strip malls (madonna plaza, hime depot, etc). remove the unsafe bike lanes...see chorro removing the bike lanes downtown, they serve no purpose but hurting the downtown, killing revenue. removing the bike lanes downtown, they serve no purpose but hurting the downtown, killing revenue. Rent control Rent control or affordable housing without building a bunch of new homes that are way too expensive and end up going to people from out of town Repair for once new for all the parking payment machine Marsh St garage 1st level on Chorro. Constantly out of service Repave Pismo Bouchon alley. It has been neglected for years. Page 9 Restrict Airbnb rentals in residential areas, more regulations on airbnb’s in town. Many communities seem to care more about their residents and do so by limiting permits, extending minimum length stays to 30 days etc. Rethink ALL of the building regulations, allow people to build without multi year permitting process. Make the permitting process easier, there should be no need to hire special consultants to acquire a permit. Only rich people can afford that. Rethink bike lanes that were put in downtown. I understand the thought behind it, but the bike lanes hidden behind parked cars have been extremely dangerous. 50% of the time using them, a car doesn't see us biking turns through the lane in a dangerous way Return our roads and streets to CAR friendly vs all bike first ideology based roads Ridding the city of homelessness Righetti City Park Roadway improvements (e.g. Protected bike lanes, roundabouts/lights at busy intersections such as California and Taft) safety measures for area around Madonna plaza- not necessarily police presence but cameras or something like that due to retail theft/homeless issues Self reliant downtown, with supermarket, public transit and necessary services (such as civic offices, health care and social services)social services Services such as satellite senior center, satellite libraries, pickleball etc SLO still continues to plant highly allergenic trees. It pretty much killed off the city's arborist department, one that was trying to implement planting only allergy-friendly trees. The city doesn't give a damn about those with allergies to pollen. Slow down and enforce traffic speed limits Slowing traffic on Broad surrounding neighbourhood.... Meadow park area where people are cutting through to avoid lights... Small Government Smokefree Housing (MUHs or otherwise) Smoother processes for development. We need less turnover among our city and county staff in the community development departments. Specifically Buena Vista Park has serious safety hazards. A little work would have our park back in good & safe conditions! The landscapers have completely given up. They look nothing like their images on google earth. Everything is overgrown Sports fields with lighting and parking. Soccer specifically preferred, but multi-sport would be great. Sports Fields. There have been no fields added for over 30 years and kids need a place to play soccer Stop adding new city positions, particularly wasteful ones like Public Art, DEI, excessive Rangers, etc. Failed policy in parking does not warrant an entire new division be created. Reign in public safety costs. Advocate policy that reduces entitlements Stop all building and growth since we do not have the natural resources especially water Stop allowing closed door sessions (especially to increase your salaries) Stop charging for parking, or go back to simple coin meters. Stop over funding the police and put that money into real people and programs that address actual issues. Page 10 Stop over-policing everyone you a$$holes. Cal poly students are the backbone of this city and it's entire economy. Stop acting like were criminals and policing and fining us at every turn. stop putting in all the crazy bike lanes that take away parking and make roads narrow, and are used sparingly Stop ruining the City with "bicycle safety enhancments". You have destroyed enough, just fix the streets. stop slanting what the public hears with "public relations" releases, Using PR intermediaries has contributed to the mistrust of 'city hall' Stop spending countless dollars on bike lanes in the Chorro neighborhood Stop the bad new bike lanes/barriers stop the gas powered leaf blowers everywhere in town fouling the air with gas fumes and generating airborne dirt and dust Stop useless spending on community-based organizations to combat homelesness. It's not working, these people are drug addicted zombies and they need a carrot or a stick and per capita we spend more than most countries and have a worse problem Stop wasting money on bike lanes and removing street parking. Spend the money on cleaning up the homeless issue stronger climate action with goals and projects to convert every residence to 100% renewable energy. Support archeological digs inside La Loma Adobe Support local small businesses Support longevity of local businesses Take a tougher stance in dealing with the homeless The city should continue to prioritize homelessness response and prevention however I do NOT support the ongoing use of law enforcement (CAT) and the city should prioritize phasing out LE to build sustainable, client-centered strategies The city should reconsider regulations requiring homeowners fixing up houses to spend tens of thousands on sidewalks, as this impacts housing supply and affordability in SLO. The city should support archeological digs inside the La Loma Adobe. And stabilize the east wall of the Adobe. A restored adobe can become an important resource and make vital contributions to the city’s goal of Diversity, equality and inclusion. The Margarita Specific Plan projected a park on the Garcia parcel; we bought in Serra Meadows hoping to take our grandkids there. So far, this has not been delivered. Please re-focus parks and open space priorities to get a park for our area. The medical system is overloaded and inaccessible. To the extent the city can help get resources in the system so citizens can actually get competent, timely care, it should. I realize the city doesn’t provide or direct healthcare, but it harms livability The Sinsheimer Pool needs expanded hours for more access for kids and families through the whole year, esp during the hot months of sept. nov. invest in this facility for equity, climate and healthAZ zzz There is an a historic adobe building by Bowden Ranch and the hiking trail that should be restored. Maybe it’s the Loma Adobe. The City isn’t maintaining it very well. There was a promise to dredge Laguna Lake. That was not kept. Save it! Thousands more homes within walking distance of downtown, including for rich people Page 11 Tobacco -free policy at multi-housing complexes Traffic control near schools and colleges Traffic light at broad and Lawrence for everyone’s safety. Traffic Management & Infrastructure Maintenance Traffic. Develop alternate traffic corridors. A grid system of arterials works better than our current Tee intersection design. Trail system management to create better and more diverse bike facilities for both beginners and advanced riders. Trees - planting and caring for trees on our streets. More support for our urban forestry program. Two Community Service Officers should be hired to work in student-impacted neighborhoods Uniqueness - the downtown is becoming cookie cutter Urban Forestry (e.g. Continue implementing Community Forest Plan, increase support for young tree establishment and maintenance, mature tree maintenance, new tree planting, code enforcement and development review, hire positions to support those efforts) Use policy and zoning to move away from car-centric and toward livable City corps Utilizing the Bob Jones Indian Trail Bike/Walk path. Make it safe with lighting, bicycle cops to patrol, do not allow loitering, camping, or encampments, and add in trash bins that are dumped daily. Connect from Madonna, to S. Higuera, to Elks over Prado Walkable neighborhoods. Focus new subdivisions on being self contained walkable communities by allowing for a mix of land uses instead of single family ghettos Water Security - make sure we have sufficient water for the extreme buildout that the city has pushed forward so that residents don't have to face increased water costs to accommodate too much housing being built WATER supply, stop building! It is irresponsible, no matter what the state says water viability for residents into the future assuming droughts Weekly/monthly power washing of side walks. Our downtown smells awful from urine/feces. Wildfire management - address climate risk to insurance Work force housing for those who many more than low income but below $250.00 Work with Cal Trans and other state entities to not allow homeless on or near the freeway. Our off ramps into our beautiful city are marred with homeless camps for months on end. You need to fix this parking problem you created with loss of on street parking especially for senior citizens Youth baseball facilities Address pothole and roadway issues Affordable housing on current open space zoning. Allowing ADU's to destroy family neighborhoods. You do have the right to protect your constituents. Not all the communities in California have allowed the State to roll over them. Attracting more healthcare providers Ban mountain bikes from hiking trails. They are incompatible with hiker safety. Have separate bike trails. Be honest with real carbon impacts and stop excluding categories that aren't "convenient " for your calculation, include the carbon impacts of tourism in you calculations. Bike friendly roads Page 12 Bike Path maintenance. Beautiful new bike paths are nice, but if they are not swept regularly, glass/rocks/trash ruin bike tires Bring back first hour free in parking structures bringing our roads back like Higuera, Marsh, Pismo, Laurel lane etc example that were removed, are hurting our town bringing our roads back like Higuera, Marsh, Pismo, Laurel lane etc example that were removed, are hurting our town Broad Street Corridor - Increases Safety and Renews and revitalizes one of our main city corridors Bus stops are a safety hazard to motorists. I was rear ended because a city bus blocked traffic flow in front of me. The city should not allow bus stops that impede traffic. Also, stop the war on cars in general. Bikes are cool, but this isn't China. Cencal / Affordable mental and physical health care Clean up all urban campsites. Living in a tent on public property is no excuse for collecting and leaving trash and excrement. Clean up homeless camps. Get homeless out of public parks. Make it safe for children and families to enjoy our parks. Connect Railroad Safety Bike Trail with Righetti/Arbors/Santa Lucia Neighborhoods Consider the people who pay taxes & their rights. Instead of making it comfortable for the homeless & dangerous for working ,responsible taxpayers Convert Higuera and Marsh back to three lane streets Create more activities for families, perhaps turn the Copeland center into a family fun area, where adults and kids can enjoy. We only have a barcade geared toward adults Create safe cross town bike paths that link the city together and reduce auto traffic Ditch the DEI concerns - it didn't work out for the general election and we shouldn't be saddled with it. Do away with gas-powered leaf blowers Don't allow police officers to let criminals go because they're homeless Downtown is a dump. It's dirty, it smells, and there are homeless everywhere. My kids hate going downtown because they are scared. Whenever I have to go for something they throw temper tantrums because they are so scared to be down there. Downtown SLO needs to go back to local businesses not corporate Driving downtown is extremely difficult with all the new bike lanes that I never see cyclists riding in. I think all the concrete barriers were a flop, and now we have less lanes and more traffic. Encourage the public to visit the downtown area by making it accessible and not deterring the public with high cost parking expenses Encouraging incentives to help attract staffing to slo for all industries. Enforce anti graffiti regulations and get crews to clean existing graffiti Establish policy that prevents investors from simply creating more unaffordable rental properties by requiring a larger percentage of owner occupied affordable homes. Expand / update the Swim Center; provide classes and more times for open lap swimming; updated locker rooms; more lanes for lap swimming Expand tenant protections, establish a rental registry, stabilize rents, prohibit no-fault evictions, and close loopholes in the Tenant Protection Act Page 13 Extend bike paths. More off-road for cross-town biking. The roads are too busy, narrow, and fast to integrate bike lanes into them. Higuera? Yikes! Fight the home insurance price gouging that costs extra $$$ for no reason. I have ZERO trees but we are considered â€œhigh riskâ€� for wildfires??? It’s hard enough to buy a house! Get illegal fraternities out of the neighborhoods Get rid of the meters Hold Cal Poly Accountable for Greek Life - Housing more students on campus Homeless people need to be sleeping in shelters only. This has to be reinforced. Sleeping on the streets and under bridges must be strictly prohibited. House the homeless, don’t implement anti homeless infrastructure Housing supply - concept is greater that just affordable units. There should be consideration for quicker solutions, allowing alternative uses of unused lots for small house or higher density, commercial conversions, and an increasing of all housing. Implement City (& Countywide) Mandatory Spay & Neuter to curb pet overpopulation in SLO. We are seeing a spike in homeless pets 1 shelter we have can not handle effectively! Animals are housed in poor condition, there is no enrichment Improve driving efficiency by putting Prado Road through and getting the 101 interchange built Improve infrastructure to match the level of homes being built. Dalidio overpass to Damen Garcia fields is needed. Traffic is congested everywhere. Improved sports facilities: More parking at Damon Garcia Inclusion includes students. Reform the way the City government and residents view them as a parasite views a host. Increase enforcement of noise from all types- vehicles, air traffic (flight patterns) and in neighborhoods Invest in indigenous communities and give Land Back Invest more political will and put more effort into reducing the trash and litter left behind by people experiencing homelessness. The litter is often left for days sometime weeks around SLO, a tourism driven city. Enforce bans on homeless encampments. Investments in downtown so shops are open and vibrant. It's so disappointing to see so many empty store fronts. Encourage people to open businesses here through investments and tax breaks (not the landlords who monopolize the leases) Lower parking rates even more in downtown-it's still hurting businesses. Maintain and enhance our urban forest. Too many large trees are being lost to make way for ADU"s. Make downtown more inviting make downtown rents for shops/business affordable to avoid getting downtown deserted/emptied from business More infill parks within the city. Vacant land turn into parks and open space not housing More open space like Damion Garcia Fields, soccer practices/games, flag football, etc. Need to attract primary care doctors to the area No more speed bumps/greenways Page 14 Our parks need trash cans available. At least one per park. People often leave their trash and dog poop purely because there is no where to throw away trash. Buena vista park specifically. It gets used constantly throughout the day by many. Permit Streamlining and Fee Reductions Permitting enhancements and efficiencies Place and display missing valid elevator permits in the Marsh street garage. Chorro street elevator and others Please provide free parking at least for the 1st hour! Now if I have to go downtown for a quick trip, it costs money every time! That is a deterrent to going downtown often. Please put back the San Junipero Serra statue outside the mission downtown. I am not catholic but it a fond memory of my childhood and the history of SLO. promote bus use rather than just bicycles Protect the mature trees in SLO. Stop cutting so many needlessly; they sequester carbon & are helping with Climate Change. Provide CSOs in neighborhoods near campus to enforce noise problems with loud parties Provide increased handicapped parking closer to downtown businesses. Public pool, one more public pool Public transit Reduce automobile traffic and vehicular speed in town. Reduce the speed limit on Broad Street from 40 MPH to 25 MPH and install more crosswalks or traffic lights on Broad between South Street and Orcutt Road. Reducing the red-tape and high fees associated with homeowners making minor changes to their homes Remove all the barriors and confusing bike lanes (I'm a cyclist and despise it). It was fine until the last several years, and now it is FAR more dangerous in numerous locations. Remove parklets and outside restaurant seating on roadways (i.e. make woodstocks remove outdoor dining, its in the middle of the street and taking up parking) Rental registry Requiring businesses to have green waste and recycling containers. Requiring businesses to stop handing out or selling plastic bags (use paper), develop a textile and unsaleable clothing recycling program (that can be resold to textile recyclers). Roads: Fix potholes. Get rid of bike lane barriers. Bring back 2 lanes on Johnson & Laurel. Allow navigation in & out of shopping center on Dalidio Dr. Add lighting or better bike lane on Tank Farm. Remove the delay in walk/green light. Prado overpass. Slow down traffic on Broad Street Smoke-free multi-unit housing Soccer Fields . There is a huge need for additional Fields for Youth and Adult sports in the City Stabilize the east wall of the La Loma Adobe Start writing tickets for speeders. The Johnson Highway has now become crazy after 35 yrs of living hereâ€¦.It’s 35mph,â€¦not 50-55mphâ€¦ Stop charging for parking at street meters after 6:00 PM. it discourages people from going downtown to Dine, movies . Hard for the employees that work downtown after 6 o’clock. Stop with the bike lanes. People are not interested in biking and it creates new hazards. Page 15 Stpo gelatinous growth!!! Where is the wate coming from??? Take a strong stance with Cal Poly to house its Greek life on campus Take large empty commercial spaces downtown create apartments for rent for working class that LIVE here full-time There is a road by Sprouts and the hotel that needs repaving.. Traffic enforcement around Cal Poly Traffic issues on Sacramento Drive Transportation - Better ways to get across town via car.This includes downtown parking. As a resident, I spend there less due to recent loss of easy parking and high parking rates. W/ young kids, bikes aren't really a good option. DT isn't for me anymore Two code enforcement positions should be added to keep our neighborhoods from being inundated with satellite fraternity houses. Waterman Village small homes With so many trailer parks, how is it that SLO needs more low-cost/affordable housing? You guys are power hungry and greedy treating students as ATMs that are open whenever you need extra budget. Students are constantly bombarded with speed traps, undercover cops and fines for things that do not occur in areas not around campus. Youth football facilities Protect WILDLIFE and their HABITATS. Clean house on the thousands of fees, restrictions, laws, rules, etc. We are not far from living in a 'nanny city.' Clean up homeless encampments. Don't allow homeless encampments. It's like you get a $1,000 fine for littering, and then they get no repercussions for leaving entire shelters full of garbage on the side of the road. It's dangerous and gross. Connect all existing bikeways. Require new development to include bikeways. Create exclusive bicycle and pedestrian corridors which permit travel across town. Link current bike lanes 'to nowhere' - An unprotected bike lane us not usable by kids and anyone less skilled in street riding. Criminalize homeless activity, and theft and jaywalking and riding bikes without lights, etc Cut back on social media advertising. It only works for a few types of businesses. Downtown has lost it's appeal and accessibility-and has too many vacant buildings that homeless people sleep in front of enforce short term rentals regulations---various short term rentals do not have residents renting out rooms = they're in lieu of hotels Expand women and marginalised peoples access to healthcare and protection Fix the street pavement Get rid of the bike lane down Higuera Hold down the high cost of living here..lower the sales tax, etc. Government has created the affordability problem with high taxes and overregulation which restricts housing supply. Finally, stop worrying about DEI, the climate, bicycles and transit. Home owners have sent multiple letters over the past year and been ignored. They put out caution tape over 6 months ago claiming to come back at a later date to fix it. Page 16 Homeless: Move the homeless out who are not from here, they take up police & clean up resources. I have never seen a speed trap around the airport even though cars speed much more there than on California. In the Johnson, Flora, Southwest area the AIR Quality used to be excellent,â€¦now,â€¦many afternoons and evenings people decided it’s a great time to burn woodâ€¦.Feels like I’m living in a Colorado mtn town in the winterâ€¦..Long term/chronic exposure is harmful Increased family, and youth activities Make 10 hour meter spaces free after 6:00 to promote business in Downtown Make public parks places for families to enjoy and not living centers for drug addicted zombies that we prop up with their endless benefits and funding More pickleball courts on unused city land. Emerson park can accommodate about 8 courts on the existing hardscape with very little cost Open Monterey street back up, its been one lane for 4 years, needs to be open again for cars Open Monterey street back up, its been one lane for 4 years, needs to be open again for cars Park options near Victoria Ave, or safe train crossing from Broad St to Sinsheimer Park/Blues Baseball Prevent and discipline inappropriate dog access to open spaces Reduce new construction as traffic and city infrastructure is overburdened. Reduce the red-tape and unnecessarily long process in Building & Planning for individual homeowners making changes to their property Rehab and expand community rooms (meadow park, Ludwick center, Senior center, etc.) to be places that can better serve or be used by the community Remove homeless from parks- moms with children aren't able to go due to drugs and homeless people. Rethink the idea that you can legislate onsite parking and then do nothing when you fail. Roads like LOVR and Johnson were â€˜improved’ fairly recently but their overall condition is far from great. Potholes were appearing within weeks of the asphalt being laid. Use a new contractor. Sidewalk improvements thoughout town. Pedestrian spaces are poorly maintained, often blocked with garbage and garbage cans, dangerous due to broken pavement, and unpleasant. Stop issuing vacation rental permits while there is a housing crisis. The city is the biggest carbon polluter by approving clearcutting our most effective natural carbon mitigators, trees. The impacts of this has made the city the biggest carbon pollutionter. The homeless concern is real in the open spaces... fire risk is very real for homes near those spaces, especially when homeless try to start fires to keep warm. Smoking accidents are also a major concern. Suggest regular patrol. Turn Laguna Lake Municipal Golf Course into a community garden, frisbee golf course and swimming pool. Youth sports fields with lights 25 MPH hour max speed limit throughout city limit, no exceptions. You need to make traveling by bicycle easier and safer than car travel. Accept that you cannot arrive here and expect to have a home. Even if you are given a home you need an income that will support prop tax, fire insurance, and utilities. Page 17 crack down on the drunks downtown Dalidio post office intersection is ridiculous. People from SLO Ranch have to go right at the light, make a u-turn, then go left again at the light. EVERY time I drive by there, someone is making an illegal left turn. Dangerous! Downtown has too much alcohol abuse End 'sanctuary city' status Enforcement of rules for good for all (noise, pollution, traffic, safety in public spaces, etc) Get homeless out of parks. I used to love going to SLO parks with my kids, but now we can't because the bathrooms are unsafe because of drug paraphernalia, or sketchy people in there. We can't sit on benches because people are sleeping on them. Get locals back downtown. The city used to run tv ads to locals and they would go downtown to shop. Household utility programs to assist seniors with water/sewer service charges Install ADA ramps at EVERY CORNER used by pedestrians. Lower single person occupancy limits for rental properties as parking and noise impacts the health of neighborhoods and non-rental properties. Remove the newly installed concrete bike lanes and all the striping which has created an unslightly mess for drivers in our city. There are safer ways to allow bike saftey. Rescind electric only new builds until a better supply of electricity has been established You pr!cks need to stop treating college kids as the enemy and instead start treating fairly as they deserve. They help support this beautiful town and instead of thanking them for it you police and fine them to olivion. add signals on busier streets like LOVR where the drivers speed 60mph in a 45mph zone Enforce trash/garbage nuisances in alleys Increase camera coverage around the homeless populations Page 18 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) 1)Fix the drainage in areas prone to fiooding instead of wasting money on planter boxes.(2 of the priorities listed above). 2) Lower the cost of parking downtown. 3) All of the tenant protection nonsense you've put in place has only made it more expensive to rent here. 4) Do something about the rampant homelessness in SLO. This place used to be paradise, but some of the policies you've passed have made our problems worse. 1. Incorporate homeless people in downtown cleanup and other activities that give them a positive role in the community. 2. Benchmark city services against metrics for best practices in other jurisdictions to flnd opportunities to economize and empower the staff to flnd more efficiencies. 1. Stop the climate activism, it is a hoax, stop wasting public funds! 2. No DEI efforts, this is a Marxist effort to destabilize America for their revolution. 3. The more you spend on homelessness, the more homeless you will get. A different approach is needed. 4. Convert OPEN SPACES to housing, Most open space was originally was zoned to be housing, until selflsh transplants took over the council and put it all off limits ,to feather their own property values. 5. Spend less on the Library , as it no longer is a meaningful source for books and learning. Leftist ideology, entertainment, and activism are now what our library is about. A percentage, whatever it takes, sales tax on luxury items like hotels and services that do not include food items. A Rent Registry is the flrst step in protecting our residents. A registration fee will offset staff costs. Increasing tenant protections reduces the number of unhoused folks and ensures economic vitality as employees do not miss work due to eviction and landlord abuse. Capping the rent in SLO is a DEI and economic issue. Protecting workers instead of the owning class and the interests of Chamber members, such as property management companies, should refiect our values and be at the top of our list. We will face unprecedented injustices, and protecting our most vulnerable people by keeping them safe and housed is elemental. a review of mid and upper level management positions. How many management positions have been created in last 10 years A sales tax? A tax that impacts the tourists. Abandon investments with zero tangible outcomes that are usually supporting political ideology rather than proven approaches that directly beneflt the citizens paying taxes. Add a .25% hit on residential property tax. Landlord owners will no doubt want to pass it along to their renters. Renters beneflt from city programs as well, so limit such a pass-off to a reasonable amount that can be levied on landlords' in-city renters. Consider lightening the impact of such a tax on property owners over 65 or limiting such a tax on landlords who rent out more than one unit; and/or limit a hike in rent on renters over 65. Page 19 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Address and fund them proportionally in the order of priority. â€œFirst things flrst.â€ If a new priority rises to the top funding for lower priorities should be reallocated. The city budget must remain fiexible and able to respond to changing needs. adjust project priorities to meet revenues Adjustments are your job to flgure out. I will do whatever I can to avoid going to downtown SLO. The homeless situation and dirty sidewalks, endless empty store fronts - it's depressing. You have Urban Planning students at Cal Poly. Use local resources for good solutions. Affordable housing flrst - Very affordable so workers do not have to commute to work in the city of SLO. After attending an ARC Committee meeting, a Parks and Rec Committee meeting and two planning commission meetings, I suggest stop pretending that they actually do anything or effect change. Redeploy all those resources. Streamline everything you do. It is extraordinarily frustrating to be private sector watching the duplication and arse-covering in the city departments. Aggressively pursue grant funding, partnerships, and other opportunities for creatively and strategically funding projects or implementing services. Aggressively pursue grant funding. The City is considered a Disadvantaged Community thanks to Cal Poly students, which typically opens up more grant funding opportunities. All governmental agencies should reduce waste and unneeded costs with-in those agencies and their vendors prior to reducing services to the citizenry. If our personal operating costs go up we naturally become more more efficient. You should try it. Allocate sufficient funding to build parks including Righetti Ranch Any adjusting of services should prioritize providing people with the necessities of life (homes, transportation, food, childcare), not just things that are "nice to have" or that are there to attract tourists. I have lived in SLO County since the 1970s. In that time, I feel like it has gone from a thriving community of working people to a playground for the rich. I liked it much better before. Apply for grant funding where possible and consider ending programs completely that may not be necessary. Apply for grants or any other ways to increase revenue WITHOUT raising taxes or parking fees. As much as I know the investment in protected bike lanes is important to people in this community, I question the prioritization of in when we are struggling mightily with other issues. In the past year I have seen multiple instances of human feces in the parking structures, a naked man walking though the fleld by Whole Foods, been shouted at by men walking downtown, etc. I love this town and believe no greater investment in it can be made than handling the homelessness issue so that we can feel safer in this community. As parents of young children, the availability and prevalence of additional green space in the city limits would have an outsized impact on our lifestyle and enjoyment of the city. A completed network of cycling paths would allow us to more comfortably bike as a family to community events (downtown, farmer's markets, Avila Beach), and enjoy more of the parks that the city already maintains. Additionally, an investment in more sports flelds with lighting for night play would incredibly impactful for the youth sports of the city. Currently it is incredibly difficult to flnd Page 20 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) fleld space to practice, and the wear and tear of overuse on the Damon Garcia flelds results in poor quality surfaces that are unpleasant to play on and increase the risk of injury. These improvements would be more than worth the investment long-term, and I know many would be happy to support additional funds for these project through local taxes. Ask Cal Poly to contribute toward enforcement of its Greek life impacts in the city since Cal Poly does not have a Greek Row. Note: The City is only recovering 20% of cost of application for special event permits for 'non proflts' which fraternities and sororities are considered so perhaps re-think the policy so the city recovers a greater cost. Ask for community feedback on a list of current projects and services and potential future projects/services. Let us rank each by priority and then allocate funds accordingly. Avoid new taxes at all costs as the reason as I understand we had Trump elected despite all his deplorable traits was because of the cost of living impacts otherwise known as infiation. New taxes and fees will only exacerbate the issue and as a retiree on a flxed income, this is a huge issue for me as well. Other innovative means must be found for funding all this. Back to basics. Public safety flrst. Please take care of our infrastructure and protect open spaces. Homelessness is best addressed by housing deregulation (which isn't the same as affordable housing programs). Do what we can locally to reduce carbon footprint but be humble about our global impact. Defund DEI as it is divisive and discriminatory by design. Balance your budget properly. Stop wasting money on road signs that are fiimsy and get knocked down after a few weeks. Listen to your residents and not just strong organization with money. Quit allowing homeless camps. Be thoughtful about whether shelving a current project harms and/or wastes the effort done to - date. Consider what is truly necessary vs the new, exciting thing that could be postponed. Consider pausing projects that are not critical, such as the new police station, when facilities already exist, unless they can be made multi-beneflt and meet variety of priorities. become more efficient and stop giving raises to city workers. Better regulation of aibnbs could help alleviate the abuse of ADU's for short term rentals only. Streamlining building process, up zoning more areas of the city to build housing next to or on top of CBD, mixing the two for high density inflll development. Vacant building tax on vacation homes or homes not fully occupied due to landlords hoarding housing or failing to adjust to market prices. I know yall are in a tough position and these aren't solutions. Bicycle, pedestrian and multi-modal transit infrastructures are more economical than that of autonomous gas powered single user car infrastructure. Prioritize mode-switching! Bike lanes in places that really need it (south Higuera) but not everywhere Bike path signals and bike speed monitoring where pedestrians cross. BMX tracks can at minimum offset their facility and staffing costs with race entry fees, beginner leagues and birthday parties, and depending on the operation provide the city proflt back. They offer a healthy way for citizens to race and ride bikes of all types, and with state, regional and national events, bring lots of sports tourism to San Luis Obispo. Page 21 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Bring in more support for small businesses by lowering cost of parking. Stop spending so much money to on bike lanes that are blocking visibility for both drivers and bikers. Stop removing driving lanes on main roads which has caused traffic to back up for miles during rush hours. Buy more open space. Do not pay for more affordable housing make the development community pay for it. IF they want to build here require more affordable housing. Make development pay the full amount of what is allowed in development fees for anything built in the city. Buy old hotels and houses to house the homeless. THIS IS AN URGENT NEED. There are seniors walking our streets because they cannot afford housing. I flnd this sad and UNACCEPTABLE.. I know a previously unhoused person who received housing and it has changed his life. By ranking the above 5 priorities above all others. By roving the community service officers and using that funding to have actual sworn officers that are assigned to downtown on foot n bicycle patrol 24 hours 7bdays a week that actually know the community and interact and make downtown safe . Cancel the new parking structure. Capital projects are expensive. Look for ways to make it easier for contractors to work for the city (ie streamline policies and regulations) Careful evaluation of investments in services beyond the basic services that cities provide. Consider whether or not the city needs additional park and open space-- there is quite a bit of that already and plenty of opportunities to recreate, but this should not take precedence over basic service needs. I appreciate the City's focus on issues like public art, sustainability and DEI, but think the City needs to be realistic about its role in moving these items forward. Certainly not through increased parking fees! Reduce emphasis on DEI (though should remain, just not as high a priority). Charge all downtown businesses a fee to remain open during Farmer's Market. After all, they reap the beneflts of the added foot traffic. Use those funds to convert and maintain low income housing in vacant spaces downtown with a shuttle to offsite parking . Make this parking free to downtown residents and shoppers who get validation from downtown businesses. Charge all non-primary homeowners a monthly or annual fee. Add or signiflcantly increase charges for AirBnbs, hotel guests, tourism fees, etc. Charge our visitors, not our citizens. Charge developers their fair share and make Rhigetti and Wathon Castanos etc build the neighborhood park they promised us. It's still an empty dirt fleld. Charge more for builders constructing $1M+ housing. Put that revenue toward actual affordable housing, not â€œworkforce housingâ€ that the actual workforce can't afford. Page 22 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Charge the developers greater fees; require them to contribute more to infrastructure and housing funds; require them to pay more for all City services. Stop catering to the builders and developers. Charge the tourists more, offer locals only deals. Like must be an actual living working full time worker. Not a remote worker passing through or a part time valley rat. Child care and housing are critical economic multipliers. Consider investments in efforts that address core issues that limit the vibrancy of our community and strength of our local economy. City employees seem to be overwhelmed. Public meetings are needed to keep the public informed, but when employees are constantly in meetings, they are unable to work on projects. Implement systems that include interns and/or part time employees to do follow-up to phone calls, flle paperwork and generally assist managers. Cut employees from non-essential areas and those who are doing personal business and/or socializing during work hours. City government should be efficient and limited to core functions such as public safety and infrastructure maintenance and improvements. DEI, art, cultural projects, etc should be handled by nonproflts, churches, charities, and other NGOs. Government should be fair, objective, and neutral. It should not be promoting speciflc group agendas using public funds. Clean up homeless encampments. Please make our neighborhoods and parks safe for children and families. Clean up the streets! Tired of the homeless people wandering through our neighborhood/ theft Climate action must be the highest priority, for the climate-related challenges heading our way will make all other issues irrelevant. Climate Action To implement the City's Climate Action Plan while maintaining flscal responsibility, the City could: Prioritize projects with measurable greenhouse gas reductions that also yield cost savings, such as energy-efficient building upgrades or renewable energy installations. Seek grant funding or public-private partnerships to offset costs and support local green economy development. Align transportation initiatives (e.g., bicycle and pedestrian enhancements) with climate goals to maximize impact without duplicating efforts. Childcare Expanding childcare options is critical for community well-being. The City could: Encourage private investment through zoning incentives or tax breaks for businesses that incorporate childcare facilities. Partner with schools and community organizations to co -locate childcare centers in underutilized public spaces. Integrate childcare support into workforce development initiatives tied to economic recovery. Homelessness Addressing homelessness effectively requires strategic resource allocation: Focus on prevention programs that reduce long-term costs, such as rental assistance and eviction prevention services. Partner with the County and community organizations to leverage shared resources and expand program reach. Page 23 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Evaluate the Mobile Crisis Unit and Community Action Team to ensure these programs are optimized for impact and align with broader efforts. Housing Supply and Affordability To address housing supply while managing flscal constraints: Prioritize affordable housing projects that qualify for federal or state funding. Streamline permitting processes and reduce fees for developments meeting affordability criteria. Encourage mixed-use developments that integrate housing with economic opportunities to generate offsetting revenues. Sustainable and Multi-Modal Transportation Enhancing transit, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure can be approached incrementally to flt within budget constraints: Focus initial investments on high-impact projects, such as safe routes to schools or transit hubs. Partner with regional transit agencies and pursue grants to fund major infrastructure improvements. Encourage public-private partnerships to support shared transportation solutions, such as bike - sharing programs. Climate bonds to pay for electrifying every home and vehicle in San Luis Obispo. The new efficiency of solar and wind energy over the burning of fossil fuels will allow residents to pay for these bonds with the energy savings they receive. Climate change is a top priority! Close any open-ended contracts, e.g. Anholm bikeway, - contractor mistakes must be paid by the contractor. Concentrate on in-house staff training on the Municipal Code and other pertinent documents to avoid costly mistakes and appeals. Require a separate business license for each rental property even when multiple properties are owned by the same person/business. Consider across-the-board dollar amount raises instead of percentage raises (like $100 for everyone instead of 2%). Close down Laguna Lake Municipal Golf Course and run a free shuttle to Dairy Creek. Complete a bicycle safety project on Foothill Blvd, then shift priorities elsewhere. Evaluate government departments for efficiency. Complete transparency to ensure the public is informed of what they're doing Consider cooling the bike structure being built out... I ride my bike every day and flrst of all the green is super confusing for all, second, many bike riders are switching to e-assist bikes and can travel with the fiow of traffic easily and third... many of the projects appear to have been solutions in search of a problem. Consider long-term beneflts of prioritizing sustainability now. Actions taken now will have an impact in so many areas in positive ways, and have potentially negative impacts if not made a priority. (Housing, food supply, public health, disaster impact, quality of life...) Page 24 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Consider staffing cuts that are unnecessary, like office of DEI and other administrative staff that is a "nice to have". While the goals are noble, there's scant data to show that DEI staff/ initiatives improves any of its stated objectives. The city needs to be honest about it. Its important to realize that local government does not need staff to solve every problem in society. I applaud the work that's been done on climate/ sustainability, but the ball has been moved down the fleld, now local government needs to get back to the basics of infrastructure and public safety. Consider staffing, salary and beneflt reductions Consider ways in which City can work with private developers to complete projects at less cost - City be subject to prevailing wage causes projects to be a non starter in some cases. Consideration of revenue generating tax on any non owner occupied homes. Collaboration with Cal Poly to house more students on campus. Consistent zero based budgeting to identify chronic inefficiency. Continue partnering and investing in community organizations like the SLO Climate Coalition to complement city activities. These partnerships are cost effective and generate multiples of value from the cities investments. Additionally, continue to pursue or support grants that leverage additional resources to advance our major city goals. Continue pushing electriflcation for vehicles and homes so SLO can become a model green mid - sized town. Promote EV adoption and get these big polluting trucks off the road and replaced with sustainable alternatives like EVs, bikes, and accessible walking paths. Example: more clear walking/bike paths across the train tracks so the Johnson neighborhood has easy access to downtown or broad st shops. Continue to "tighten your belt" and make sure that we are not overpaying for both internal and contracted services. Continue to collaborate with local organizations that do the work, like SLO Climate Coalition! Continue to collaborate with local organizations that do the work, like SLO Climate Coalition. This takes some of the flnancial pressure off of the city. Continue to collaborate with local organizations that do the work, such as SLO Climate Coalition. Continue to collaborate with the local organizations that do the hands on work, like SLO Climate Coalition. I think it is very important to support the people that care about these issues and are working hard to solve them. Continue to focus on downtown. Stop building additional parking structures. The citizens complaining aren't the ones using downtown. Charge what you want for parking when you want it. The vast majority of people complaining aren't the ones going downtown. Stop street sweeping our neighborhood. No idea what the program costs but without â€œno parkingâ€ zones and times for sweeping, you are literally sweeping the center of the road. It really does nothing. Consider more parking districts like broad between mission and foothill. 90% students and they could be charged to park. Continue to help downtown businesses, further lower downtown parking costs, bring back the SLO Triathlon Page 25 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Continue to make climate a top priority by implementing the excellent approved Climate Action Plan. Involve the community by utilizing SLO Climate Coalition and other organizations to assist the city on tasks that can be accomplished with minimal staff supervision. Continued bike safety like the Johnson Ave reworking, more roundabouts and expanding safe seperat bike trails will make SLO an even nicer place to live. SLOMA is a treasure in our community and I would love to see more collaboration with businesses to fund public art and murals. Sun n fun is a great program our family greatly beneflts from and parks and rec should be commended for it. Continuing to collaborate with local organizations that do the work, like SLO Climate Coalition! Continuing to increase open space and complete the Bob Jones bike path will increase tourism and therefore increase revenue and not be a flnancial strain on the city in the long run. Convert a private owned motel or older city owned building/property with a partnership from ECHO in SLO to expand services that support homelessness prevention and homeless services. Childcare incentive grants for businesses to support adding on options in their workplace for childcare services. Cost beneflt analyses by third parties with no confiict of interest Council members have a tough job. But setting smart priorities helps you create smart budgets. It's easy to say but hard to do: Pick projects to fund that deliver on fundamental needs and/or have visible and signiflcant impact. I have heard council members express concern about whether they are being fair if they award a big grant here or there, and then are unable to flnd other worthy projects. Don't worry about what you can't do. Focus on impact Does a particular project serve a signiflcant portion of the community? Or does it simply grease a squeaky(albeit worthy) wheel? Go for impact. History (and voters) will reward you. Wishing you all the best. Create a tax on tourists staying at hotels to lessen burden on residents create an empty storefront tax for all the empty properties downtown. also maybe take the taxes collected from air bnbs to go to homeless efforts instead of toward tourism Create incentives to renters of downtown commercial spaces including expediting tenant improvement applications, promoting businesses other than bars, rent subsidies in some cases, etc. Current projects should take priority; I'm quite sure that those have the most time and funds already expended and to postpone those is a waste of critical city resources. As a project manager, I'm well aware of the planning efforts needed to get projects that are funded and underway to be continued and completed. Postponing projects always requires signiflcant time and money to reactivate them in the future. Current projects that do not involve community safety and addressing the homeless problem should be stalled or minimized because the aforementioned issues are the most important. We need to make sure our flre and police service men and women feel supported and respected because they protect us. And our homeless population has started to interfere with the safety of Page 26 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) our community. Homeless people are directly impacting all of us when we are in the city of SLO. Recently, on 11/15 I shockingly went to dinner and for a drink after with a friend downtown and we didn't see a single homeless person. I feel this is a rare experience. Thank you for your consideration and efforts. Curtail the housing density & low income housing initiatives. Cut back on art projects in the city . Better use of government employees time Cut back on infrastructure projects for encouraging use of bicycles in order to reduce inconveniences for automobile drivers and reduce liabilities created by the dangerous narrowing of roadways for automobiles. Cut back on the work to make the city "bike friendly". My family used bikes to get around for years and I rode to work daily when I worked downtown before all these "improvements". But the cost, confusion, loss of vehicle lanes and parking for the truly incremental improvements in bike convenience and safety would be the flrst thing you should re-examine. Cut back unnecessary or redundant higher level administrative positions, after objective analysis of positions added in the past eight years. Cut city staff that are non-essential. There are way too many employees that do not contribute to the priorities. Cut down on the non essential programs to focus on core values and projects. Cut funding to projects the public votes are not priorities. Look for ways of generating revenue from practicable projects. Highly scrutinize any new projects/priorities. Cut government waste in spending, it's pretty simple. For example, we don't need to be handing out free needles and injection tools for people to shoot up drugs. Revert back to taking care of the citizens who pay taxes and support them by keeping them safe and giving them environments where they feel comfortable going without a CCW. I grew up in the ghetto and moved here 25 years ago to get away from the ghetto. I pay more in the cost of living to live in a SAFE place. It's no longer the safe place it use to be because we are allowing criminals and drug-addicted zombies to take over. Focus on public safety and supporting the police and giving them the tools by making and enforcing laws that punish people for breaking the laws. If people steal, they need to go to jail. There needs to be harsher punishments for violent criminals Cut jobs that are not necessary. Cut salaries Cut spending on DEI initiatives Cutting expenditures Decrease your salaries. De-emphasize bicycle transportation as I do not see it as a viable alternative in the near term to supporting automobile transportation. To me this means create free downtown parking and create the additional parking options necessary for people who are dependent upon automobiles for transportation. Long-term public transportation may provide viable alternatives but in the near term for a variety of reasons the use of the automobile is the only viable alternative that allows for a vital downtown that can compete with "Big Box" stores, large shopping malls with extensive free parking and most importantly with online purchasing options. I sympathize with 'visionaries' who have promoted the development of bicycle lanes/routes but do not believe they Page 27 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) are being well utilized and citizens are taking their shopping and recreational activities away from areas lacking in adequate parking. Defund police raise sales tax Defund the police and fund community and land care instead Defund the police. DEI is very aspirational. The City has put a lot of resources into it and while an important focus, most corporations and cities are moving away from heavy investments in this area. I'm not suggesting we lose focus but to make it a lesser priority. Delay implementing any new-priority projects until we have the cash reserves to pay for them. Demilitirize the police and sherriffs department Depends on the projects. I would prioritize projects that bring the most _visible_ value to citizens. Seeing the road improvements and new bike infrastructure makes me happy to pay taxes. All of the new housing going up shows me that there's good progress being made on zoning and incentives. Develop a clear set of goals and objectives. Arrange them by must do and optional to do. Must do items include flre/police, water/sewer, roads/bridges, etc. Almost everything else is optional. Also, get your flscal house in order - the pension plan is severely underfunded (should be phased out entirely and replaced with a 403B type beneflt). Few private companies use pensions any longer - cities need to do the same. Develop a robust volunteer program to augment select city services. ICMA has a lot of info on these city wide programs. Senior services, park and open space maintenance and safety patrols are examples of possible programs. Develop a sustainable economy that is NOT based on growth. Develop and leverage community partnerships between companies, non-proflts, colleges, religious institutions and the city to collaborate on community impact initiatives that overlap. For example work with religious institutions and affordable living non-proflts to house the homeless, work with colleges, non-proflts, community members to help preserve and expand cultural arts programs, work with low-income families to establish in-home daycares that can help support their own earning potential and solve the child care crisis in the area, things like this where everyone supports the community initiatives and beneflts at the same time. Develop projects that meet the goals set by the projects. Example is the Round-about on Osos St retains Stop Sign where roundabouts should preclude Stop Signs to prevent the City's preferred intersection control due to the vehicle speed reduction, safety, and operational beneflts of roundabouts. Roundabouts also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer improved aesthetics compared to a traffic signal as an opportunity for landscaping, public art and excess pollution created by stopping and starting. Discipline and focus should be maintained on successfully completing currently approved projects, maintaining and improving service levels in existing programs, and maintaining existing infrastructure in light of current City flscal forecasts, which will require resisting the urge to undertake large new projects or substantially expanding City services into new areas. Page 28 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Discontinue (or suspend) programs that are no longer needed or yield lowest positive results. Implement compelling advertising for flnancial donations from county residents and beyond. (One Time donations and/or year-long donations program.) Discontinue all diversity, equity and inclusion projects. Freeze payroll increases until there is a balanced budget. Divestment from genocide and weapons manufacturing sign a ceaseflre resolution in solidarity with Palestine. Land and money back to indigenous communities so we can have a sustainable future do not spend any more money. unfunded liabilities will kill us Do the best you can. Don't be dogmatic in your efforts, Look for opportunities to establish new ways to make government work more effectively Don't build bike lanes that take parking spaces away from homes in a residential areas (Chorro St) Don't invest in any more parking structures or bike lanes. Don't know how Don't redo more streets for bike lanes. Streamline approvals for building projects that will generate revenue so they can be completed faster Don't take on new priorities unless there's a legal or safety obligation. Focus on delivering existing projects and initiatives. Don't waste money on DEI Don't add new services; focus on quality rather than quantity. Focus on gaps in services. Focus on bringing current deferred maintenance into good condition, not building new facilities. Continue to collaborate with other partners to provide services that are the priorities of ALL residents. Don't build the 4 miles of Bob Jones Trail. It's a homeless magnet in SLO. It's fllthy and not maintained. It's dangerous. The added trail will be exactly the same- no one taking care of safety issues or piles of debris. don't know Don't take on new projects. Stop spending money on street planters and make sure people are safe and housed. Dramatically reduce the budget for the police. There are always an outsized number of officers responding to minor incidents or, god forbid, a homeless person needing help. It's a horrible misprioritization of city funds. Drop the â€œgreenâ€ initiatives, such as emissions reduction. While that is very important, it must be addressed on the state and national level. Local government has no effective power to affect climate change. Doing so is merely greenwashing and a waste of money. DEI is another feel good activity that accomplishes nothing. As a lifelong Democrat and progressive, I am tired of losing elections because our party is identifled with programs like DEI Page 29 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) that most citizens feel does not address their concerns. Even the minority groups who supposedly beneflt have begun to abandon the Democratic Party. Drop the DEI initiatives. They've consistently shown to be ineffective and divisive. Focus on what's best for everyone (schools, roads, safe neighborhoods, childcare, etc). dunno Efficiency and action vs words and reports Eliminate DEI initiatives Eliminate DEI initiatives. Eliminate Climate Action initiatives. Rethink renter protection programs to avoid punishing landlords. Redude regulations, fees, and taxes on smaller businesses so they can thrive and bring in indirect revenue to the city. Suspend investments in "Multi-Modal Transportation" - maybe later but not now. Eliminate or reduce programs that don't address public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and open space.. . I am an avid bike rider, 100 miles per week average. Stop with bike infrastructure and bike barriers enough already. DEI is destructive and divisive. Money spent that doesn't beneflt most residents, only consultants and few people. Provide services that beneflt majority of residents, public safety, maintenance of roads, streets and city infrastructure and open space. Density and higher building are changing the character of SLO without the advertised beneflts of â€œaffordable housingâ€. Eliminate overinvestment in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Divert overinvestment in bike lane dividers and metal art (i.e. underpass on Chorro between Walnut and Lincoln). Eliminate the DEI expenditures and re-purpose those dollars for everyone ton beneflt, not just special groups. Eliminate the Planning Department, totally useless. Do something about the homeless situation for gods sake. This is out of control. end spending on bicycle access. the city has gone overboard accommodating bicycles End woke programs Enforce city codes on violations on private resedential properties. Send an actual letter to the homeowners, not a fancy cardboard flre, that Most people, bro away. List all the codes , After flrst warning flne those that don't obey the rules. Increase the flnes so city can recoup some revenue. There is a lot of opportunity to make extra money for the city by Getting tougher on these rules. Page 30 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Enforce laws broken by the homeless, we spend so much of tax payer dollars and our downtown is being overrun and businesses are leaving and not coming back. Look at downtown Santa Barbara if you need an example of how homeless can ruin your Downton. I no longer feel safe downtown and going downtown is something we did as a family all the time but with parking fees and the being harassed by homeless people we really don't go downtown anymore. We are a very empathic family, but it has gotten out of control and if you speak out against it you are chastised. Enforce laws, cite people for violations, protect our downtown and our residents more than you currently protect homeless. Enhance programs which can provide a direct path to increased tax base such as zoning reform in single family majority neighborhoods and general pro -growth initiatives. Provide for new incentive routes which can decrease the cost per unit for multifamily 5+ unit developments and 3+ unit developments in existing single family areas. Ensure that all projects underway are completed in a way that is accessible and inclusive for all city residents, commuters and visitors to create a sense of belonging and equal opportunity, with an eye toward long term sustainability in materials choice, environmental health, etc. Making the city spaces (buildings, parks, event venues, sidewalks/bikeways, transportation options), businesses and housing within the city more accessible could generate offsetting revenue considering the current growth in inclusive tourism markets. Evaluate costs and beneflts with input from professional experts and the community before moving forward with major projects or revenue raising policies. Every day I watch as hundreds per day or perhaps thousands of tickets per week get written. The consumer is being disincentivized to come downtown by the obscur, hard to read, hard to understand, parking rules and payment systems. But, you sure should be getting a ship load of revenue off of those tickets!!! Every program or project must be self-supporting, or in some way contribute to the sustainability of the city as a whole. Every project depends on the treatment of our land, the quality of our air, water and other essential resources. Expand the timeline to complete some projects Page 31 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Facilitating housing will bring in more people and more tax revenue in the long run. Helping homeless off the street and back into the workforce will increase tax revenue, however little, in the long run. Maintaining and improving infrastructure should increase or at least maintain tax revenue in the long run. Our open spaces and public safety will draw more people to visit and live here, increasing tax revenue. All culture related goals should not be the focus of government, but instead the focus of individuals, non-proflts, and religious organizations. The homelessness problem requires that the law allows public services to take action that will actually make a positive change in their lives. Forcing them away from addictive substances if that is their struggle and there is evidence that they are not able to help themselves. Forcing them into psychiatric care if that is their struggle and have been professionally diagnosed. All this forcing sounds forceful, but if the only intervention all our non gov orgs can take is a pat on the back and a â€œyou got this!â€ then I would never get better in their situation. Our non gov orgs have been doing so much work, but so little progress due to legal limitations. I'm not pushing for pre Reagan psych laws, I'm simply advocating that we've swung to far in the opposite direction and should push for laws that allow us to take more action. Federal, state, and private funds for climate action. Utilizing free support from the community. Fewer bike lanes. Fewer highly paid administrative staff and unpaid elected officials flgure it out. that's your job. Finding ways to get the community more directly involved in some ways and sourcing volunteer work might be helpful. Finish what you're working on before starting something new. Finishing the parks near Righetti has been in the plans and shouldn't need additional funding. It should be prioritized above remodeling or improving existing parks that are already functional. There are a lot of residents in the orcutt area that bought homes with the expectation the park would be done sooner. Please prioritize them. First priority should be maintaining what you have already built or the services you already offer. While it's hard to tell the public that we can't afford new projects and services right now- sometimes that's the right thing to do. Fiscal responsibility and cutting taxes is very important. Revitalizing downtown with encouraging new business owners and different ideas is key. Why are so many store fronts empty? Cut through the red tape and make it easier for new businesses to open. Page 32 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) FIX OUR DAMN BENCHES AT BUENA VIST PARK Fix roads flrst! Fix what you can address (eg. streets, multi-modal transportation, downtown), and manage (eg. not grow/expend increased dollars) on issues that the city cannot flx alone (eg. homelessness). Focus funding on public safety and core services. Focus funding on the prevention of homelessness instead of the current homeless population. Focus less on DEI and more on downtown vitality (addressing the loss of downtown businesses, the loss of downtown parking, locate family friendly type housing & businesses downtown, etc.) & cultural vitality (provide more art in public places, more historical preservation, more urban parks, etc.). Shift current emphasis from bicycle opportunities to pedestrian connectivity and opportunities (i.e. widen sidewalks, provide more pick-up and drop-off zones, provide more accessibility for the handicapped, etc.). Focus less on social virtue signaling and more on physical accomplishments and accountability like the homelessness problem and safety of the innocent public. Focus more on downtown vitality (addressing the loss of downtown businesses, the loss of downtown parking, locating family friendly type housing & businesses downtown, etc.) & cultural vitality (providing more art in public places, more historical preservation, more urban parks, etc.). Shift current emphasis from bicycle opportunities to pedestrian connectivity and opportunities (i.e. widen sidewalks, provide more pick-up and drop-off zones, provide more accessibility for the handicapped, etc.). Focus needs to be on affordable housing and homelessness. Many of the other priorities listed (public safety, downtown vitality...) will be positively impacted by these issued being addressed aggressively. Focus on affordable housing and please clean up the homeless. Focus on and use the resources we already have to gain more revenue---tourisim!!! Also make sure we can apply for grants that can give us ability to improve our infrastructure, roads, trails, etc. Focus on cleaning up homeless encampments. Prioritize this over bike lanes. Focus on completing the infrastructure projects that enhance safety for the community. Focus on downtown vitality to attract businesses to flll the empty storefronts. This, in turn, will grow the tax revenue base. Focus on downtown vitality, homelessness and police security. Downtown drives everything. Focus on existing projects (completed and pending completion), and focus funding on those flrst. Also, rather than subsidizing nonproflts who provide "nice to have" services (arts, etc), let's truly focus on what is improving the quality of life for our co mmunity (parks, trails, economic development, traffic improvements, and the ability to live and thrive in this area we call home). I also feel we are doing well more than our part as a City to support the unhoused community - I don't believe that we should expand that. Focus on existing road maintenance and not on new bike lane improvements or new "road diets". The new bike lane improvements seem overkill and clutter the roadways. Focus on infrastructure like water and roads. Page 33 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Focus on initiatives that eventually sustain and grow on their own. Focus on maintaining existing infrastructure. Stop waisting money on large new public safety centers when no one will see or feel that investment. Purchasing a building and doing a $1.5 TI, and then still pursuing a larger public safety center (spending design dollars) seems irresponsible. Make decisions and stick to them- going back and forth takes time and money. Slow down on projects - only assign projects that have resources dedicated to delivering those projects. Make developers build parks, etc. and do not think that impact fees will cover the cost or time it would take to build it. Focus on maintaining our existing infrastructure and services flrst, before expanding programs or adding new obligations. New priorities should not take away from our core responsibilities to provide a safe and well maintained community. Thank you Focus on making San Luis Obispo more appealing to locals and remove all the homeless people. Focus on objectives that actually improve the lives of people that live and work here in a meaningful way, like reasonable housing, and improved safety, especially in the downtown area. Focus on projects/services that accomplish or lead to multiple goals. Proper housing will help homelessness, which will improve downtown. Possibly subsidizing local business instead of major national retailers can help maintain downtown's charming personality. Improving biking infrastructure will help with climate action and traffic and public safety. Focus on revenue generating initiatives. Focus on revitalizing downtown and encouraging new businesses. That will increase local tax revenues. Stop spending money on bike lanes that are rarely used. Use that money to maintain the roads we already have. Encourage Cal Poly and private investors to increase student housing. Make Cal Poly guarantee housing for students for the flrst 2 -3 years of school. This will make existing housing more available, decrease the demand for rentals, and lower rents. Focus on safety, infrastructure, and education. The other aspects can be accomplished by non - proflts (climate action, dei outreach, and so on). Also as a local engineer, I would recommend not doing flnancially unwise decisions like the new parking lot which per spot is outrageous. Focus on the projects that have an end (like construction projects) over those that require ongoing labor (services) Focus on your core responsibilities flrst: public safety (police, flre, ambulance), public infrastructure (roads, bridges, water, sewer), necessary business support (grocery, pharmacy, etc.) to ensure they exist in the community over non-necessary businesses (bars, etc.), encouragement of more housing starting inside the city (no sprawl allowed - grow up, not out. Look to Europe for models of that. Cut spending through elimination of pensions (yes - total elimination) and replace with 403b type retirement plans. The city pension is signiflcantly underfunded and will eventually cause great harm. Deal with it now. Focus on your current residents and the capacity of this city. We need better healthcare options in this town from children to seniors. Page 34 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Focus strictly on unilateral infrastructure type projects. Nearly all your examples are left leaning. Focus on the basics, roads, parking, crime, parks. For as beautiful and expensive as the city of San Luis Obispo is to live/work, I am disgusted with the amount of trash and homeless camps around town. As someone who lives near Santa Rosa park, I am scared to bring my children to the playground because of the large amount of homeless and transient groups gathering at the bathrooms and nearby areas. It's such a shame and it seems like there is nothing the city is doing about the problem to get these people out of public spaces. Most seem like they don't want help, they are just polluting the city with their trash and lack of contribution. Wish we could bus them elsewhere. For those of us long term residents, the parking fees imposed for downtown access has made us more likely not to patronize downtown businesses or in town activities- I haven't shopped/eaten/sought entertainment downtown for over 8 months and do not plan to change my mind. Less concern for handing out free/supplemented perks for the homeless who refuse to do anything for themselves would be good. For e.g., any "homeless" shelters where individuals refuse to comply with laws and programs should be met with "reduced" free beneflts. Drug abusers disinterested in rehabilitation should be handled with legal remedies should they engage in criminal activities. Revenues could be enhanced by freezing city salaries until the economy picks up considered- especially with programs/departments that are not producing. Monies used for soliciting for DEI appointments/meetings etc should be redirected. City needs to reinforce law/flre enforcement and their efforts to keep us safe as long as the borders remain unsupervised. Thorough transparent budgets - what did you get, where/when/how much did you spend on projects a-z-should be revealed. Evaluation of waste/money pits should be found and dealt with. Tourism is important to our city-working with our hotel/motels --offer a type of parking vouchers would lessen the shock of flnding out about them upon arriving to a parking area would be nice. Take advantage of our vineyards and possible wine tasting events. Self-refiection of where monies are being allocated/spent/wasted would seem to be a priority before thinking of raising revenues on either locals or visitors. A sad lesson that the Democratic Party needs to learn- I don't want our city to go down that rabbit hole. For us to spend more time and money in the city, you would need to flx the parking. It's too difficult and too expensive. The city needs to streamline the building process for smaller, less expensive, owner occupied housing. Fully enforce the current Penal Codes, local ordinances to the letter of the law Funding and completion of the South Broad. Projects in historically neglected areas of the city should be prioritized for new projects. For example, the now 10-year old South Broad Street Area Plan. The incentives for developers were realized, yet the transportation infrastructure has been neglected for 10 years. Projects such as these should get priority. Funding should be reallocated from police to enhance public transportation services. Also public transportation should be prioritized over other transportation modiflcations. Page 35 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Get back to the basics. Focus on the essentials. Stop lofty new construction projects and bike lanes. Stop hiring unnecessary positions and instead pay essential city workers better so there is higher quality and less turnover. Invest funding into contracts or pre-existing services provided elsewhere, rather than hiring more city positions (Example: County and numerous non -proflts already address homelessness - send them funding rather than hiring more City staff. Programs are competing and its wasteful) Another example is partnerships with local agencies for flre rather than continuing to add more resources to the city flre department. Get creative with untapped volunteers... Seniors who can help support children's programs or other community volunteer work; provide food/housing support for those able to volunteer their time providing services to others, etc... Get rid of all the bike nonsense that goes mostly unused. Reduce spending on homeless issues, we're just breeding more homeless that will cost more in the future. Get rid of bike lanes for more car lanes get rid of bike lanes. Get rid of diversity and equity nonsense. Give the business community and Cal Poly what they want and take away from the residents. Give to get is the standard model within any system of constraints. Stop jumping on bandwagons (DEI has been a disaster) and bike lanes no one uses (Santa Barbara Street/Marsh Street/etc). Don't throw money at problems that do not exist (bike lanes/unaccountable programs with large budgets). So far the city has done really really well IMO. Just focus on not pissing away the budget (settling court cases outside of the courts, disgraceful public employees, etc) while keeping the city safe, productive and AFFORDABLE. Give up on all this expensive green space and bike lane construction. Given the City's current flscal constraints, it's essential to balance new priorities with our ongoing commitment to flscal sustainability and responsibility. To achieve this, we could consider the following adjustments while remaining focused on our top priorities: Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility: Continue to implement efficiencies across City operations and explore opportunities to generate revenue through strategic economic development. This might include leveraging partnerships, optimizing fee structures, or identifying grant opportunities to fund new initiatives without overextending resources. Addressing unfunded liabilities remains a core component of this strategy. Homelessness: Strengthen collaboration with the County and community-based organizations to maximize the impact of existing programs and ensure resources are being utilized effectively. Maintaining support for initiatives like the Mobile Crisis Unit and Community Action Team could be integrated into broader regional efforts to reduce redundancy and improve outcomes. Housing Supply and Affordability: Prioritize housing projects that directly align with workforce and low-income housing needs by streamlining approval processes and targeting incentives. Exploring public-private partnerships can amplify the City's efforts without requiring signiflcant additional expenditures. Page 36 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Infrastructure Maintenance: Focus on preventive maintenance strategies to extend the lifespan of current infrastructure, reducing long-term costs. Consider reprioritizing capital improvement projects to address the most critical areasâ€”such as high-use roads, parks, and sidewalksâ€”while deferring non-essential projects until flscal conditions improve. Climate Action: Leverage the City's Climate Action Plan for Community Recovery to identify initiatives that provide dual beneflts, such as cost savings and emissions reductions. For example, energy efficiency projects or investments in green infrastructure could yield immediate and long-term savings while advancing climate goals. Supporting the local green economy through partnerships or small-business grants could also generate revenue offsets. By focusing on these areas and engaging stakeholders, we can ensure the City continues to make progress on its key priorities while navigating flscal challenges responsibly. Grants for new projects and higher hospitality tax's. Grants where available. High density housing (more tax dollars per square foot). The cost of dealing with homelessness happens either wayâ€” cost associated with temporary solutions are expensive with not much to show for it (arrests). I acknowledge there is no easy flx. Grassroots fundraising. Improved efficiencies & flscal conservation: solar energy projects to reduce energy expenses, energy efficiency, water conservation, hiring top talent to do more with less, etc. Great progress has been made for multi-modal transportation and supporting the unhoused. Preserving/supporting existing housing supply that is available to lower incomes would beneflt the housing continuum. Reviewing City's incentives/supports for local business throughout the city vs what supports might be needed to flll vacant storefronts. Gut police funding Have all properties within 1 mile of campus be under the safety enhancement zone all year rather than only certain times. Increase flnes and don't allow SNAP response in that zone. Increase citation issuances rather than clearing violations as negative. Have police crack down on lawless behavior. The police don't have the support of the city leaders to do their jobs. Petty criminals have more rights than the victims of crime in San Luis Obispo. It will make downtown and other parts of slow more desirab le places to be and will allow the businesses to be more successful and increase the tax base. Havjng lived in some of the 'noisiest' parts of the city, I wondered what can be done to reduce traffic noise for residents. Higher efficienciesys. Better management. Higher taxes on tourism. Hotel rooms should cover the cost of downtown parkingâ€¦ not charging residents and arm and a leg to shop Hire more people for code enforcement. Fine unlicensed contractors doing scab labor that the city never sees and or receives in permits and other fees. Homeless issue is probably #1. Homeless people living in their cars & rvs shouldn't just be okay. It's gotten bad down Sacramento in SLO. Affordable homes should be #2. A million dollar plus homes are not affordable. Condos and more apartments isn't really the answer either. Lots of Page 37 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) beautiful spots to build on the outskirts of town and stop cramming houses into such tiny spots. These new houses are 3 inches apart from each other. Homelessness is truly a big factor in the city. Rather than JUST providing housing also provide classes and infrastructure to promote skills for jobs and livelihoods. For those people too disabled to work then you can work solely on housing with the prov iso that the resident be involved in a program to learn how to take care of themselves and not wind up back on the street. Homes are where jobs go to sleep at night. In order to have a thriving local economy and any thriving future, we need to create places that workers can afford to live. That includes young people, professionals, healthcare providers and flrst responders. I do not want to live in a place that only makes room for the healthy and wealthy of society. Do not overextend the City's flnancial resources by building new roads or infrastructure into new areas. Please focus on expanding and making services more robust in the existing urban areas, and inflll development. We do not have the land to sprawl out in every direction, and we can meet our housing needs by becoming slightly more dense and offering better transportation options. Housing supply is my number one priority for the next flscal plan. To accommodate increased resources to housing supply policy development, I encourage the City to include its DEI priority from the previous flscal year into the Cultural Vitality subpriority. Many of the programs currently run through the DEI office could be transferred to Parks & Recreation (for public outreach and cultural events) and Community Development or Finance (for incentive programs), or transferred to local non-proflt/private partners, for a net surplus of resource to prioritize housing supply. (At least, I imagine this is how it could be.) Housing; keep applying for grant funds; strengthen code enforcement department; more benchmarking statistics presented to City Council and public review for accountability. I absolutely love the open space that the City has been able to secure. However, I think it is time that the City utilize funding to not purchase more open space but to look inward at some of the older recreation facilities, such as the swim center and the community rooms / buildings in the Public parks that are no longer serving the growing number of residents. I am hopeful that these priorities are already in alignment with city priorities. Continuing to see improvements in these areas will kee our city vibrant, safe and communal. I am uncertain of what this question means. What are examples of constraints and what are common tradeoffs? This seems very technical. This question seems like it repeats the second question. Also these questions are not concise and are hard to read on iOS. However, there are three main priorities that I have: public safety, public interest, and flscal feasibility. I hope to that answered your question. Anyways I hope any city staff reading this has an amazing day and thank you for all the hard work you do. I am unsure how much it costs to make affordable housing. Or the cost of making the city more bus, bike, and walking friendly. The city can probably preserve the open spaces it has instead of focusing on making new ones. I know many years ago when I was a college student many counties away, all of us had a student fee that contributed to public transit and gave all students free access to local public transit. I would also consider making more fee based public parking Page 38 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) lots outside of the downtown area, and having mass transit to get to popular areas like Cal Poly and Thursday Farmer's market. That might help with parking. I am very disappointed about the proliferation of bike lanes. Travel by bicycle is healthy and should be encouraged, but not at the expense of taking parking spaces from SLO residence. Automobiles are being squeezed out of SLO and I choose to shop outside the downtown area because parking is so expensive and hard to flnd. Bike lanes are flne as a concept, but there are not nearly enough bicycle riders to make it worth removing driving lanes. I believe that the city makes several assumptions about things that must not be questioned. I think that this stifies creative thinking. These include: building height limitations, the idea that public transportation needs to serve all neighborhoods identically, the idea that all open space is sacred and we need every more of it (example: â€˜Let it be' tract on LOVR), clarity about the purpose of downtown in today's society, and how to positively engage the 12000+ college students who live in our neighborhoods. I haven't seen any plan for Marsh Street despite the fact that it is peppered with overly large bank buildings and adjacent surface parking that are not likely to stay intact for long. I sympathize with the fact that it's hard to be visionary when there is a constituency for/ against any changes you might propose, but that is the task at hand. I do believe arts and beautiflcation of our city are important, but those things should move down the ladder if more pressing matters arise, such as an increase in folks experiencing homelessness, lack of affordable / available childcare, and medical services for those in need. It doesn't matter how beautiful a city is or how many murals or art installations it has, if the people in it are barely surviving or have nowhere safe to rest their heads. I also understand tourism is very important to our town, but I think the focus of City funds needs to be on the people who live and work here, as opposed to those we are trying to attract to come visit. (We do need to attract more medical professionals to live here, however, as having to wait a year for a routine appointment is pretty ridiculous and frustrating, given the current lack of availability in that realm.) Cleanliness and safety is of course extremely important, but I think beautiflcation / cosmetic updates beyond that are unnecessary in the face of so many people struggling. Additionally, there are very large commercial spaces downtown that have been sitting empty for YEARS, while folks are sleeping on the sidewalks in the cold or the heat. It seems like such a massive waste for spaces like that to sit empty when people are freezing and constantly having to flnd a place to rest and keep their belongings. I don't know that turning those speciflc spaces into living space for folks experiencing homelessness is the solution, but could other businesses move into those spaces, freeing up their prior space to be turned into shelters or transitional housing? Could some sort of affordable childcare or preschool be established in one of those spaces, for all the folks who work downtown or in SLO? Could they become pla ces that provide free or low-cost medical care to local residents? I understand it is challenging to rent out spaces Page 39 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) like that, but I believe something needs to be done to make those spaces actually useful to the community, instead of folks wondering when they will ever not be empty again. I don't go downtown anymore to shop or eat. I think if you reduce the parking or at least 2 hours free you can get local folks back downtown. More sales tax more money for projects. I feel like SLO is already ahead of the curve in terms of environmental and diversity/inclusion priorities; as such, I think SLO should prioritize revitalizing downtown, promoting renter's rights, and supporting a safe community. Over the past four years, it has been disappointing to see the increased amount of empty retail spaces and unhoused individuals in crisis downtown. As a renter for over 10 years in SLO, it is also disappointing how few rights we haveâ€“ basically every landlord I've ever had could be considered a â€œslumlord.â€ My husband and I make over $160k per year and our house has a fence that is chipped/falling down, termites, mildew/mold, and a non-functioning flreplace (due to the landlord's refusal to flx it). SLO should expand renter's rights and mandate annual/bi-annual inspections of rentals to ensure that they are meeting City codes and ordinances. I feel some of the city bike lanes and should be adjusted to help with housing & homelessness. I feel that the bicycle lanes are underutilized and would recommend holding off on further development. I feel we need to flnd a way to tax empty spaces in town, both downtown and the Madonna Plaza area. I flnd it ridiculous that the city takes away driving lanes to put in bike lanes that only make it more dangerous for cars. They should rethink how and where they put the lanes and not minimize the fiow of traffic because there will be more traffic here as the city grows. The way they did Madonna road bike lanes or the railroad safety trail should be how it's done everywhere. Not like Chorro or how grand ave will be. The city can't expect everyone to ride bikes when most people are commuting here for work because they can't afford to live in San Luis Obispo. I have been impressed with the city's recent investment and acknowledgement of the role volunteers can play to build and sustain community vitality and, honestly and with broadening investment, can support all the above priorities in a signiflcant way as demonstrated by other local government agencies with vibrant community engagement programs. Please demonstrate your commitment to civic engagement by expanding the city of SLO's volunteer efforts and ensure this program has support internally for years to come. Volunteers can be a great resource for the city of SLO - if you integrate them strategically and expand the program and ensure this internal team has the support and structure they need. I have heard there is a different, more comprehensive kind of homeless project called Diginity Moves. I wonder if that will help. I have lived here for 47 years, never have I seen such a mess from these ridiculous bike lanes everywhere hurting our town. Remove the protected bike lanes out of Chorro & Romona street, completely ridiculous and dangerous, rip them out. Cancel the South Higuera street complete project as it will hurt our town even more than it already has. Bring back district voting, we have no representation here, that should be priority Page 40 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue.

Bring back district voting, we have no representation here, that should be priority I have no clue I have no idea how "government budgets" work, but I hear of "rediverting funds" that were raised to serve that speciflc purpose. I have no ideas. Sorry I heard of this concept in Philly called "block captains" where a particular street would come together and appoint a representative for their street block and work with organizations to ensure community safety, projects, their needs, etc. This may not be in the jurisdiction of the city, but I think this may be a way to offset the labor of city council while still allowing projects to continue? I know in the past that developers were required to donate some of the land they purchased for open space, how about now requiring them to build some of their housing (if it is for housing ) for actual (not pretend) low income housing. Encourage residential homeowners to add tiny houses and rent them on their property. Or require hotels to provided housing for some percentage of their workers. I know parking fees were reduced but still too high. If you want to meet for lunch or get a hair cut, it should be free for at least 1 hour. Also, still too many homeless people when you walk at night to a restaurant. I know for the most part harmless, but you never know. I like many of the current projects but I'd rather see housing costs improvements for all mid to low income and unhoused people take priority. I love the efforts to beautify the city and make it more bike friendly. It is all very nice and I am grateful to live here. But. San Luis Obispo cannot continue to spend time and resources on transient people who do not want to be helped. The terrible and heartbreaking problems continues to grow . . . ruining our parks, Downtown, tourism, mass transit efforts, the library . . . you name it. Local people who are working and serving the community should get priority for low - income housing. The transient population is another story entirely--they cannot continue to threaten the safety and welfare of the city. Giving them a roof won't help unless they are also given a job and around the clock support to make sure they stay flt enough to continue receiving services. Unfortunately if there must be a tradeoff . . . spending more money on cultural programming, bike lanes, and dei efforts may have to be temporarily shelved while the City focusing on the more disturbing and glaring issues caused by the transient population. I need to leave that question to you experts. Thanks!! I strongly support expanded tenant protections including lowering the current rent cap in the Tenant Protection Act, prohibiting no -fault eviction, strenghthening health and safety requirements, and establishing a mandatory rental registry. Some of the revenue sources you should consider to fund enforcement of such requirements include: o Fees on residential and commercial buildings that sit vacant for extended periods o Transfer fees on high-end properties, both residential and commercial Page 41 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) o Tax domiciles not occupied by owners at a substantially higher rate o Take off the kid gloves and issue steep flnes and other penalties to abusive landlords/property managers and other bad actors I support increase sale tax or issue bond for funding. I support providing "seed money" towards flnding private flnancial resources for the restoration of La Loma Adobe. Such rare remnants of early SLO history cannot be replaced. Once lost, they are gone forever. Tom Knight, Docent Dana Adobe I think a main goal should be adjusting zoning and construction priorities such that new projects in our city can pencil out and be constructed. By doing so, it would generate new ongoing revenue that would beneflt the city. Importantly, we should be encouraging more inflll and increased density so that they truly offset the infrastructure and maintenance costs to the city. I think some importance action items would be to eliminate minimum parking requirements and perhaps allowing four-plexes by-right in all housing zones in the city, thus allowing for gradual densiflcation and greater missing-middle housing. I think focusing on supporting the downtown area should be a large priority. The recent park updates are wonderful, but places like Cheng Park are almost purely aesthetic with few visitors. I would switch energy from these types of projects to supporting areas with heavy pedestrian traffic and use. I think the city needs to look at where these priorities intersect in order to identify projects/strategies that may progress multiple priorities at once. For example, prioritizing denser, more affordable inflll housing will address the need for more affordable housing supply, potentially reduce/prevent homelessness, improve downtown vitality, and address climate action and sustainable transportation goals by allowing people to live closer to where they work, thus reducing vehicle miles traveled and allowing for alternative transportation choices. I think the city should consider long-term beneflts/costs as well as short-term beneflts/costs when deciding which projects/services to fund and when. For example, a short-term expenditure with large long-term beneflts would receive greater priority than a short-term expenditure with only short-term beneflts (of course it also depends on the magnitude of the short-term beneflts). I think the rangers could be divided to create a small trail program with employees who speciflcally focus on trail construction and maintenance, while leaving the rest of the rangers to focus on restoration and tree planting projects, enforcement, general maintenance, and education and outreach. While the ranger service has done an excellent job completing trail projects year after year and developing their trail construction expertise, the current ranger service doesn't have a position that would attract skilled trail designers/builders nor a reliable way to maintain the current trail construction/design expertise were the existing staff to leave. Page 42 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) I think we live here because we love it here, but we have to make sure to cover the basics flrst; people have to feel safe (physically but also flnancially) living and moving around town. There are other orgs in town that can promote DEI and culture- but we don't want another org taking over policing or road maintenance. I think if there's an opportunity to make an impact on the other priorities within the budget constraints, great; but if not the city needs to cover the basics. I think while the improved bike lanes are a great idea, there may be other priorities that would improve the lives of more individuals, such as a mobil crisis unit to help with issues surrounding homelessness. Perhaps we can continue to work to make more streets bike safe, etc. but with an approach that is less expensive and doesn't make it hard for cars to avoid scraping their rims / to see past parked cars when turning onto streets with the new bike lanes. I think working with nonproflts like The SLO Land Conservancy to increase protection of open spaces, which give SLO much of its unique charm, could help to offset costs. I think you can pause putting in more bike lanes. I would cut back on building excess, unnecessary things such as bike paths. Also negotiate better contracts with contractors...the numbers I see for some of these projects are just crazy numbers. Sounds like lining the pocket of friends honestly. I would like the City to put a pause on bike lanes (there are a lot of unhappy SLO residents with the Chorro bike lanes and planters) and focus on the homeless encampments and illegal campers in our city. Many of our city parks and downtown benches have turned into living areas for people experiencing homeless. As our own governor has said, there is nothing compassionate about allowing people to live for days, weeks, months and years in encampments. The city of SLO has done little to nothing to crack down on camps after the June Supreme Court ruling giving all U.S. cities the green light to do so. I would like to think that if the city did use Fiscal Sustainability and Responsibility, most services and community action would be quite possible. Decent city roads, sidewalks parks and other city maintained recreation sites woukd be maintained regularly. The idiotic waste of money the city is wasting on slowing auto traffic downtown is an absolute waste of my tax dollars,fees and Federal and State Grants. Cutting sitting streets to one lane each way is not helping our crowded street situation. How many bikes do I see use Pismo Street, where I live, in a day. Not very many. Skateboarders using the bike lane, going against the traffic is a favorite accident waiting to happen. Pismo Street needs to be two traffic lanes to help with congestion. Oddly, Pismo Street is now a route for city buses to get to lower Higuera. There is not ONE bus stop on Pismo Street between Johnson and Higuera. The city wants EVs driving in town. How many charging stations are available. Not near enough. Who'd ride their bicycle down Pismo Street in the designated lane, then onto Higuera, Madonna and Los Osos Valley to buy $200.00 worrh of Costco supplies? Page 43 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) How often do the buses run that route? Where are the oassengers on the city buses tooling around town? Pave the roads, flx the accessibility on city sidewalks and maintain city parks. Use some of your city employees in the utility department to actually do accounting of payments instead of citizens mailing payments to Pasadena. The city is only seriously interested in salaries and pensions. Period. I would recommend prioritizing project that directly impact residents. Within that, while some projects may be worthwhile but serve a very small population I would recommend positively impacting the largest number of residents. I also don't support the continued road diets that are being implemented at the same time that more housing units are coming online. We don't need to create frustration through traffic congestion. I appreciate your asking residents for feedback, thank you. I would trade funds from cultural vitality I'd support a sales tax measure I'm a big proponent for public art, electric vehicle infrastructure, quality of life for the local enthusiast, student, family, small business owner, and visitors. I think we need a decent budget for police, safely, and homelessness. We need more emphasis in regards to homelessness and mental deflciencies. I'm not sure but I do believe that homelessness should be number one priority. I'm wondering if/how the city can work with nonproflts and companies with similar goals so collaboratively work on and fund projects. Can there be more intersectional programs and policies to help prevent silo -ing and redundancy? Is the city looking into the IRA funded programs? I've lived in Slo 24 years. I no longer feel familiar with downtown and avoid it due to high parking rates and unclean sidewalks/streets. The increase of homeless population here is bad. I'd really like to see how everyone answers this question! I don't have any answers there. I suppose given tradeoffs are required, I'd prioritize affordable housing and homeless prevention for residents on the edge over spending on arts, e.g. painting electrical boxes and theatre spending. I saw how many pages in the zoning ordinance are related to painting electrical boxes and cringed; some are kinda pretty, but.... Also, I'd prioritize spending for very low income residents on the edge, often locked out of housing completely, over spending for middle income earners who WANT to buy homes yet CAN afford to rent. I get the inclination toward home Page 44 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) ownership, but the public interest in in housing for all people, not necessarily ownership for everyone who wants to own. Identify those current priorities with high amounts of money allocated (compared with similar communities) and divert resources. If any have to be reprioritized, then I hope efforts will be made to outline how and when those projects that were set aside can be addressed again in the future, and if it is possible to at least make some progress in the meantime rather than fully halt. If cuts need to be made, they should be made to programs with the least adverse effects for life, limb, safety and health. If homeless people get free housing they should work, picking up trash, weeds something they shouldn't get free housing for nothing. Make it so homeless people don't want to come here don't give them free things, and kick them out of parks they shouldn't be allowed to stay in parks. If the city owns or controls GHG emission sources (Scope 1 emissions) that they would like to reduce, but do not have the capital or credit available to complete the project(s), you can present the shovel ready project(s) to groups like WattCarbon that can flnd a funder. The funder (e.g. corporations, private universities, etc.) then uses the reductions to help them meet some of their Scope 3 (indirect) GHG reduction needs. Talk with McGee Young from WattCarbon for more details. WattCarbon can a city sell quality Energy Attribute Certiflcates from built environment efficiency improvement programs the city wants to implement for their community. The revenue can help the programs succeed and provide lower utility costs to participating community members. For your open space and greenways, if you have not already done so, you might work with the Coastal RCD as they spin up their Sustainable Land Initiative. City of SLO, keep up your lead by doing efforts in the climate space. If the City takes a more global view of problems, the solutions might not come from the City's own coffer's. For example, rather then increasing infrastructure on collecting trash, work to reduce the production of single-use trash in the City of SLO, which also reduces the City's production of greenhouse gases from the production of single use items. Taking this idea further, the City of SLo and its citizens throw away a tremendous amount of usable items each year (bulky item collection, student Move-out days, etc.). If the City were to put togther plans for a Reuse Park and solicit interested parties to run reuse, repair, and resale stores in one central location (like a reuse mall), there would be many local jobs produced while creating a signiflcant reduction in upstream GHG's currently produced by the City's expanding mneed for goods. This would also create resliiency in the case of disasters, supply-chain interruptions, and the needs of the economically challenged. If the homeless crisis continues and gets worse most these other items will be pointless. The city needs to work with state and feds to help solve the problem. We all know must of it's driven from the opioid epidemic. This issue is priority number one. Start thinking outside the box. IF we cleaned up the presence of people experiencing homelessness and supported the viability of our downtown businesses, the increased income could be generated by the increased use of parking and businesses. I would venture to guess that when people who were paying for parking Page 45 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) and utilizeing downtown services knew that an appropriate amount of the income generated was going to solve the homeless problem they would be supportive If we don't work to increase the vitality of downtown, it will continue to deteriorate with empty spaces and draw fewer people. The parking structures help to draw "customers" but there must also be more than bars, restaurants and youthful clothing stores to draw regular residents of the area. If you focus on housing and build affordable housing, this will help with the the issue of homelessness as well as the climate crisis. We need more affordable dense housing closer to cities so we can flght climate change and build a more resilient community. If you took out all the blub out areas for outdoor resturant seating, you would have 100 more spaces for parking which would generate more revenue. That was flne during COVID but we don't need outdoor seating in the streets any longer! I'm not sure generating revenue should be the main focus, rather a byproduct of making the city more livable where people want to spend their time (and money). Look at the Thursday Farmer's Market. The city limits traffic and the streets are full of people shopping. Continuing to support bicycle infrastructure (and transit) will make the business areas more desirable, especially if business districts are connected by good bike and transit options. I don't how to tell you how bike and transit helps lower income folks, nor do I have to tell you about how businesses beneflt from more pedestrian traffic (as there's case after case of cities flnding this). Implement projects in a timely manner as planned. Many projects that have been delayed the cost have risen signiflcantly. Righetti Ranch Park is a prime example. It should have been built many years ago and now it appears there is not enough funding to do the complete project. Hope I am wrong on this. Implement public housing. The individual automobile is an impediment to sustainability. Climate change, pollution, congestion and inequality are attributed to the automobile centered lifestyle. Each car requires a great deal of precious land space with a multitude of parking spaces (home, work, services). Design the town for living without a car, with supermarket, health services, civic and social services. Implement reasonable expectations for employees and contracts. Reward when those are met and exceeded. Cut where they are not. Hold accountable for timelines. Project are far too drawn out which causes wasted spend. Improve operational efficiency of employees. If an employee calls out sick too much, isn't productive/doesn't meet deadlines, or is generally lazy....flre them. Make efforts to operate the city like a small, for-proflt business! Improved bicycle infra doesn't have to be expensive. improving infrastructure and the quality of the downtown slo experience will pay for itself by establishing a consistent tax base; safe housing and multimodal transportation fuel this process by ensuring people equitable access to slo's investment, and any resources committed to the environment can be maintained by the effective execution of this strategy. Page 46 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) In my opinion our growth is out of wack with our infracture needs. Sure repair our roads, some need to be improved to handle more cars if you continue with out of control building, if not, every time you add a lane it won't be enough to keep up with our growth. Seems our priorities are to give too much preference to growth rather than what make our area so special "the SLO life". Thanks C Tyner In some cases, collaboration with NGOs and/or regional entities can help. incentivize large corporate entities to open shop in the City of San Luis Obispo with specialized tax brackets based on stipulations for upfront Localized Improvement Taxation, ((essentially: buying down their city tax rate for a predetermined timeframe)) Reduce city workforce, or Reduce capital intensive projects that have not yet begun. || SLO(W) GROWTH > NO GROWTH. || Increase efficiency, streamline projects, improve processes. Don't just look at offsets. Increase new affordable housing options in the future (thus increasing tax base) Increase parking rates, start automated or manual ticketing for illegally loud motorcycles and cars to reduce noise pollution Increase property ownership taxes by .001% Increase spending on Capital improvements and reduce spending on City staff and beneflts. Increasing accessibility to renewable energy such as solar panels will take stress off the grid and is cheaper than traditional forms of energy such as nuclear and natural gas. In addition, it is cheaper to give support to the unhoused population so they are able to get back on their feet than it is to continue business as usual. Infrastructure grant funded construction projects billable/ reimbursable activities - ground ambulance transport, Infrastructure improvements in neighborhoods. Public transportation with concentration on residents and not Cal Poly students only. Also, providing Tripper routes to middle school students at no cost. Supporting local businesses and removing signage of businesses that have closed. Policing at bus stops to include the Transit Center where to street people create unwelcome and safety issues. Infrastructure projects to increase public transit and clean energy will pay dividends in the future. Investigate SLO PD misuse of funding. Generally provide less funding to go to the police. They get way too much money without outputs and reported actual crime to explain the â€œneedâ€ to keep increasing; stop wasting money infiating their budgets they can only spend by wasting money with extra unnecessary things like: militarized equipment, new cars and uniforms replacing usable and objectively still new/viable items, excessive sign on bonuses and ridiculous overtime allowances, again that do not match the reported stats showing levels of â€œcrimeâ€ in this area. Investing in bike lanes/ open spaces is a waste of budget if people can not enjoy those items due to safety issue Investing in climate action and sustainable solutions often promote cost savings, so they should be explored and leaned on. I think the City can also invest in bringing in additional support to get projects lifted off and implemented (resident volunteers, leverage AmeriCorps capacity building Page 47 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) programs like CollegeCorps or CivicSpark) to make long-term impact while also investing in youth voices and leaders. It is evident from the recent Central Coast Economic Forecast that housing continues to be the challenge as it relates to the health and stability of our state and local economy. There needs to be emphasis placed on moving housing projects and density in the ur ban core foreword in a more timely manner! It seems like there is a lot of money going into new premium housing. I wish we would stop building all of these apartments that will more-or-less remain empty and put more energy towards the people here now. It seems pretty clear builders are themselves are the biggest beneflciaries of new housing. Can the city require some $ help/participation from builders to fund parts of homelessness programs. (In addition to existing restraints for builders). It seems to me the city wasted a good deal of money putting in bike lane barriers and round abouts that don't serve any real purpose. Perhaps the city should deal with the real problems in the city like growing homeless population and stop pouring good money after bad to please a few bike riders. It would be a refreshing change of pace if the staff and council actually listened to and paid attention to the recommendations and observations of those of us who are actual permanent residents flrst and foremost. All of this "stakeholders" stuff is simply a way to dilute the infiuence of city residents. The City must take a strong stance with Cal Poly to ensure they break ground for a fraternity Greek Row on campus and do it soon. We gave them land; did we get anything in return? It's important to spend money on services that residents use. Prioritize infrastructure, parks and downtown. I believe in climate, let that be handle more on a state level. Let private charities take the responsibility for the homeless It's time to start spending money on housing for homeless and not bike lanes and other cosmetic projects. it's difficult to trust city decisions regarding flscal choices after the $58 million parking garage/parking fees flasco--- Just say no. Maintaining existing infrastructure is job 1. We have too many streets in poor condition (e.g. Johnson, Laurel, Sacramento). Repeated slurry sealing around manholes and utilities creates engineered pot-holes. Fix them correctly. Just stop the ugly houses going up. They make SLO look like any other city in L.A. county. Keep an eye on excesses in administration and oversite. Don't become like San Francisco where projects become way too expensive because of all the hoops you set up to jump through. Keep collaborating with County and the Regional groups like REACH! Keep the projects narrow and easily deflned. SMART objectives. Page 48 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Keep. Open spaces. We are over crowded as the infrastructure was not increased before the housing increases and poly s unbridled growth Low cost to maintain open spaces like Laguna lake Thank your processors of decades for approving the outrageous p ensions. Thousands of healthy people collecting pensions for thirty years all those contracts approved and highly paid salaries presently This city was a gold mine for those who knew how to work the system Keeping people safely housed will be more important now than ever now especially for women and children of color. Please expand tenant protections ie rent registry and eviction protections. Capping the cost of rent could be done and would refiect our Electeds commitment to our most vulnerable and will be needed when Trump's policies actively aim to harm our most vulnerable residents-our LGBTQ+, Immigrant and People of Color. Kill climate action. Kill diversity hiring. Lacking project details, I can only offer a generic response. In such a case, a process of prioritization must take place. Laguna Lake and park is ahuge asset for thencity. It sees a lot of usage. However the lack of shoreline is getting to be a major detriment to being able to enjoy it's beneflts. Brush and REEDS are the problem. a not too difficult project would be to make a major cutback in the central park area where most of the activities are held. AND keep this area open year around! Launch communication and fundraising campaigns to educate the public on our community needs and plans to address them. This would help pinpoint our priorities and be laser-focused in accomplishing (and flnancing) our goals. Legalize density high enough to make replacing monoplexes and mcmansions in the urban core worthwhile. This is no -cost to the city and will increase property tax, sales tax, and development fees revenue while reducing costs to roads and parking. Less attention and spending on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (e.g., focus on activities and initiatives that support marginalized racial, ethnic, and cultural groups), Public Safety (e.g., expand Fire/Police services, response for emergencies and disaster preparedness Sustainable and Multi-Modal Transportation (e.g., enhance accessible transit, bicycle, and pedestrian opportunities) Less DEI, more merit. Thorougly audit city flnances. Better flnancial transparency. Council and mayor appear to be driven more by ideological preoccupations (e.g., climate obsession and ancillary priorities) than by flnancial and more tangible community problems (e.g., flnance and public safety and security). And then there is a nagging concern with government-developer entanglements. Am skeptical that material action will occur. Less funding to bloated police budgets. Less funding towards law enforcement Less green paint on the streets. That all wears off and has to be re done every so many years Less investment in bike infrastructure. As a cyclist, I know that no amount of investment in bike infrastructure will make cycling in SLO safe. Plus, bike infrastructure beneflts only a small Page 49 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) segment of the population. Investing in downtown vitality and childcare services will better serve the needs of our community. Less money for lower priorities. Involve existing resources in the community to help with priorities. E.g. Churches, synagogues, and mosques provide nighttime places to sleep for homeless as we used to do when the old homeless shelter used to have periodic closings. Less money to cops Less paving. No new roads or bridges that target cars. Reduce parking requirements to free up space for more housing and to support non-car transportation. Leverage groups like CCCMB to both subsidize trail work and build/maintain trails. Look at the projects and services that do not provide any income and prioritize based on cost. No new projects or services that do not generate income. Look at those projects that had a disproportionate funding compared to other communities over the last flve years. Look for opportunities to streamline current projects and weigh the urgency and validity of new projects to prioritize accordingly. Look for other governmental agencies to partner and coordinate resources and goal setting. Work with non-proflts to seek common goals and leverage resources Partner with Cal Poly to provide city impact services/funding because of the increase in student population Look for private sector flnancial participation from businesses and CalPoly. Look for support or matching funds from the state, private foundations, and individual donors. After January 20th, it probably isn't worth the effort to seek out any federal support ... I am a retired public policy researcher and volunteer my services as a grant writer for the Community Counseling Center. I would be willing to help. Ellen Morrison emmorrison.slo@gmail.com Please note that the priority of public safety/disaster preparedness includes addressing the many Eucalyptus trees that line our green space and present imminent danger, resulting from flre or fiooding, to the residents near the edges. We live at the end of Madonna Road at the foot of the Irish Hills and are very concerned for our home and our neighbors' about the eucalyptus behind our home. After eight years of reaching out repeatedly to the Open Space Manager, nothing was done until we arranged to be interviewed by KSBY. Then, only three tress were removed. More work needs to be done. Oddly, none of the city's green space is identifled as high risk in the OES Multiple Hazards Master Layer, so private funds are most likely the best option. Look into grants that support the projects and services that are on a nationwide basis, more speciflcally, from Global non-proflts and do not limit their contributions to large metropolitan areas. Loosen up your planning staff by removing parking minimums, streamlining the zoning code, and making the next increment of housing allowed by right. Lots of people don't have front license plates on their cars. These are required by law in California. Ticket the offenders. Page 50 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Increase the flnes on disturbances (i.e., parties) lowering the current rent cap in the Tenant Protection Act prohibiting no-fault evictions strenghthening health and safety requirements establishing a mandatory rental registry. Maintain the existing infrastructure prior to anymore new projects. Make climate action a high priority. Make downtown more friendly by addressing parking cost and availability Provide more diversity in shopping opportunities in the downtown. Make it easier to do business in slo Make it easier to re-develop or rehabilitate residential properties or business. If a project like a home rebuild would result in a new tax base assessment, the city should consider waiving fees as they will likely make it back once the property is re-assessed at the new higher rate. Make sure we have the infrastructure in place to handle new developments. Make the new home builders pay for some city wide projects, road improvements and green initiatives. Make the services and current projects better and more efficient. Stop trying to earn awards for most green city or most bike friendly ( and that's coming from a lifelong cyclist) . None for that matters if the average family is pushed out due to expensive housing and high business operating expenses. 3rd generation SLO resident here, and I make good money working at Poly, but I don't currently see a long term future for my family here. Many climate initiatives pay for themselves in energy savings. Rely more heavily on volunteer programs to help maintain Open Space and public amenities. Partner with nonproflts like Habitat for Humanity for housing affordability. Consider crowdfunding some prog rams, like new Open Space. Many of the above priorities synergize with each other. For example, preserving open space and promoting biking/walking/alternative transit can provide climate resilience and strengthen healthy neighborhoods. Building more housing decreases cost of living and provides workforce housing for healthcare workers, and can be done in a way that promotes neighborhood health, culture and community and climate resilience lifestyles (e g San Luis Ranch is a great example). Investing in basic safety necessities (police,.flre, infrastructure maintenance) increases quality of life and is a foundational service of local government that needs to always be prioritized. Many pro-tenant housing measures prevent homelessness and thus prevent the city from paying as steep of costs for social services. Proactive spending is more effective than reactive spending. Maud sure downtown visibility is a focus Maximize safety on heavily traveled roads frequented by older drivers. You seem to be pushing seniors onto to side roads by narrowing lanes on heavily traveled roads with planters and bike lanes. There are a lot of black/scuffed curbs on Chorro now because of the narrow lanes... Maybe stop changing all the traffic fiow by including the green lane all over the city. I understand you recieved a grant but now you are removing parking from established residential areas. Maybe Page 51 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) plant more trees if you're so worried about the climate. The garbage going into the creek from the homeless is also causing health hazzards.... Merge parking and police departments under the same departmental reporting structure. This way the can't point a flnger at each other and address problems real time. The city should fund / budget for parking and police departments. Parking revenues go to the city. Monitor Paso's experience of removing parking fees altogether and consider doing the same. Downtown has become something to avoid. Rent out space at the top of parking structures for food trucks and/or entertainment Turn one of the unoccupied spaces in downtown buildings into a covered farmers market and/or bazaar Put a picnic area on top of a hill wth a wide, scenic view More and more collaborations! There are a lot of nonproflts, community members, and agencies that are working on city goals. When we all collaborate, we are leveraging exponential capacity and resources, and it is great! So more of the collaborations where your non-city allies and partners are extending the city's capacity. More bikeways that are off and away from the road. Cars and bikes don't mix. Make certain streets down town no -car friendly.. More cycling infrastructure and cleaning lanes for bikes. More focus on maintaining current facilities (parks, open spaces, etc.) If not maintained they will not last. Santa Rosa park needs major improvements - safety for kids, roller/hockey rink needs improvements, homeless/drugs make the park unsafe. More skin in the game from developers: Fund roads / infrastructure projects in new commuitites and surrounding impacted areas as a requirement to development: If a new school is needed - it would be the responsibility of the developer to build at their expense then turn over to the city school district. If a community has a large public park as part of the potential attractiveness to buyers - it must be completed at the developers costs prior to 50% pf development being sold or at least in the construction phase. A possible higher Mello -Roos tax on new development. Tourist taxes on hotel and similar accommodations. Better public transportation in and around downtown to include the RR District / Cal Poly and the hotel / motels along Monterey Street - Running in a circular pattern covering all the areas mentioned. Reduced congestion in the downtown core - less carbon emissions - allowing people to either walk to transportation stop or even park further out from downtown when visiting. The Downtown Summer Trolley would be a good example. More frequency and expanded route system at an affordable cost - or possibly break-even cost for the service to allow the multitude of beneflts to be realized by the residents / tourist / students and city. Most if not all of the future-planning efforts that the city does (and I admire the work done here over the years) should be focused on climate resilience work. (Storms, fioods, flre, earthquake, open space, power outages: warming centers, device charging, etc) This is where unexpected expenses are going to pop up in the coming years and the smart money we spend now will save 10x (?) down the road. Chris Read is doing amazing work on our carbon reduction goals and we may need another staff person to focus on this important area. Page 52 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Most problems our community faces stem from the lack of affordable housing. Our Downtown's vitality would be improved greatly if empty spaces were turned into housing that would allow community members to live and participate in the Downtown economy. No need to drive, pay for parking, walk to a store, and leave; and no sections of empty space making our beautiful downtown feel like a ghost town. A lack of housing contributes greatly to the issue of homelessness downtown, that makes some shoppers feel unsafe. Turns out if you have a place to live and shower, you aren't considered homeless anymore, and are therefore not seen as scary or to be avoided. When people have housing and childcare, they have more money they can use to support local businesses downtown. I think priority should be given to housing, given the ripple effect it will have on improving other elements of our city. I am also passionate about public transportation, though I think we do a pretty good job, and I am passionate about having open spaces downtown that allow shoppers to sit and rest so they can continue to shop and support small businesses for longer durations of time. Mountain Bike Park, The Euc's expansion, more trails and inclusion of proper E-MTB's move away from the bs we see in protected bike lanes and infrastructure that discourages use of businesses as people cannot actually get to the business in these areas. Lack of parking on Santa Barbara, lack of parking downtown decrease in traffic lanes of Higuera etc. These are all a waste of tax payer dollars and hurt the local economy as people cannot get to the businesses they want to support. Move into greater use of Enterprise models/ Move toward goals at pace funding allows Multimodal transit and downtown housing should be prioritized Murder all Republicans my suggestion is a practical application of climate , equity and affordability - apply those categories $$ for this My top concerns are listed above, 1. Homelessness research Finland's approach and other successful programs that deal flrst with housing the homeless. 2. Downtown large empty buildings can be vibrant living spaces creating dimension and cash fiow into the area. These spaces must be for citizens living in SLO not rented out to tourists or CalPoly kids (I do love our CP kids whose parents are "gouged" to house them) Permanent residents of SLO and affordable rent! 3. Support for all women and their children. Narrow focus to the necessities and top priorities and spend less time, energy, and flnancial resources on the "nice-to-haves" until we're in a better position flnancially. Neighborhood wellness has not been a priority for a long time and things like homelessness are obvious issues, neighborhood wellness is also important and should become a priority again. New housing developments to increase the percentage of income based purchasing options. New projects should not be undertaken unless there is a dedicated funding source for both construction and future maintenance. The City needs to maintain current programs that have been existing or added in previous budget cycles before undertaking new ones. The City needs to live within its means and not keep increasing taxes and utility rates for new programs. No comment. No more bicycle projects! Page 53 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) No more bike lanes NO MORE BIKE LANES. In fact, remove bike lanes on Broad and Chorro. Remove bike lanes downtown, reduce parking rates further and reinstitute 1 hour free parking in garages to revitalize the downtown area. Keep residential areas free of bike lanes. Enforce rules for bicyclists, otherwise someone will be hit because of not stopping for a stop sign. This will probably fall on deaf ears because the City Council and Mayor do not listen to anyone but the bike lobby!!! no more projects like North Chorro St No new priorities should be sought if the city cannot fund the essential priorities as they stand. I do encourage continued funding of our urban forest budget which is part of the Climate action goals for the city. Cut out programs like public art and downtown viability for the time being. Focusing on continued upkeep of our infrastructure will ultimately present a clean, safe and attractive environment that visitors and citizens will appreciate and be attracted to. No new taxes or bonds. Community input (including ballot referenda) to validate priorities. No new taxes. Manage the money you have to accomplish any projects. not enough knowledge to make a comment Not spend so much on bike lanes that are rarely used Not sure Nothing on this list is "new"; it's just been lower on the priority list. One park was funded (Broad St Garden), but it's located right next to a freeway exit and on -ramp. I did argue against it, but it was an "easy flx" for parks and rec to make it look like they were taking action. Unfortunately, it's situated in a low foot traffic area next to a dangerous high-speed road. Open fleld space and permitted schools are becoming an issue for AYSO. The lack of available options strains the few permit flelds the kids can play on. Nothing we do to prevent climate change will matter whatsoever. If you have ever travelled to India, China, or other APAC countries you will understand that city funded climate initiatives are a complete waste of taxpayer funds that won't make .001% difference. Beautify our parks and open space for the sake of city taxpayers but please do not spend a cent on useless global climate change initiatives. They are completely performative (note this doesn't mean we don't care, but that local spend is not the solution) offer residents a "membership" card for discounts on local shopping, so that residents can "live here, spend here" Offset city administration costs by utilizing student Interns in city planning,landscape architecture, engineering,social work,animal science (vector control)from cal poly and cuesta. One example is Looking at the Serra Meadows and Toscano developements: They sell within days of listing!!! 360 homes. There could be a fee that the city charges to enhance bus and bicycle transit. eg there is no safe bike path to town nor is there safe bike transit along Tank Farm. Why would these developments be allowed without FIRST considering what happens on move in day??? How do I get to town? oh I guess I have to drive? and now the pattern is set forever. eg there could have been a bike path under PG&E along margarita Rd then up S. Higuera all the Page 54 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) way to town separated by curb not lines. The same to the south to Tank Farm. ALL of this could have been paid for by the EAGER buyers!!?? One of your priorities is diversity and inclusion I look and the staff of city employees and think of how much is lacking in that area. Maybe that is why it is a priority? I see the real problem in leadership roles but also flre department, City Hall and public workers in general. Only continue projects which have approved funding sources. Do not increase any taxes or fees. Our current construction projects around town seem overinfiated and a little wasteful. I think we need to have more efficient use of maintenance projects on roads and buildings to free up more resources elsewhere PARKING!!!!! Partner with Community Based Organizations to implement projects and provide services. The partnership model is beneflcial on many fronts: The CBOs can essentially become an extension of staff, multiplying service capacity without additional salary liability; CBOs can access grant funds that may not be available to government entities; The formal partnership with the City can establish credibility in grant applications and enhance success. partner with nonproflts and businesses. flnd collaborative grants. Partner with nonproflts. Past promises to the community such as Reghitti ranch park should not be overlooked based on budget constraints Performance Audits and Efficiency Reviews: Conduct regular audits of existing projects and services to identify inefficiencies, redundancies, or low-impact initiatives. Redirect resources from underperforming areas to new priorities. Reassess Niche Projects: Stop creating new bicycle paths that primarily beneflt a select few. While promoting alternative transportation is important, resources should be directed toward projects that provide broad beneflts and serve a larger portion of the community. There seems to be a lack of accountability among city and county employees and the resulting waste of resources. It often feels like there is no clear oversight or expectation of responsibility when it comes to project management, service delivery, or budget use. As a resident, I've observed inefficiencies that suggest resources are not being utilized effectivelyâ€”whether it's unnecessary delays, incomplete tasks, or poorly executed projects that require rework. This not only wastes taxpayer dollars but also erodes public trust in the city's ability to serve its constituents. Accountability measures should be a priority. Regular performance reviews, clear project benchmarks, and transparent reporting would go a long way in addressing these issues. We need city employees and leadership to prioritize efficiency, responsiveness, and flscal responsibility to ensure our community is being served in the best way possible. Page 55 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Please consider ways to reduce spending for fossil-fuel transportation in the City's fieet of autos and trucks, and in the HvAC systems in the city's buildings. Please do something about loud and polluting landscape equipment. The noise, dust, and pollution can easily be mitigated. The proliferation of this equipment has been the most signiflcant change in SLO in the last twenty years. Not for the better. Please don't focus on building more homes. We need affordable housing without building more homes. Traffic will become an issue along with further infrastructure problems. Don't allow people from out of town to buy new homes. Do a lottery system similar to what they do in aspen co Please establish a mandatory rental registry, close the loopholes in the Tenant Protection Act, prohibit no -fault evictions, and improve and enforce health and safety requirements on rental properties. Please flx the pavement on our roads before spending money on street planters that we have to spend money maintaining Please focus on childcare needs for young families. We are so limited in our options and if we want to keep expanding our community to young families who want to set roots here, start business and give back, we can do that if we don't have affordable and accessible childcare. Please please please flx and clean sidewalks downtown. And get the people using downtown as public restroom out! Please police parks better for the safety of our children and the citizens who responsibly use them. Vagrancy and homelessness has become out of control. Needles, urination , people exposing themselves and sleeping and posting up in parks should be strictly enforced. Tax paying citizens should not have lesser security than the perpetrators. Please! Please prioritize core government services, such as public safety, infrastructure, and parks. Let's build Righetti Park before our kids go off to college!! Please prioritize making sure code enforcement and other associated departments have the money to carry out much needed abatement of health hazards in housing throughout our city. We need people to feel safe in the places where they live so they can feel truly safe in our community. We got this! Please re-direct spending toward hiring people to enforce the laws. Thanks! Police don't constantly need new top of the line vehicles. Not much car chases going on around here. Ha! They just like their toys and it shows. Possibly sales tax Postpone more bike lane projects until the budget increases. Prioritize climate change initiatives and homelessness. We should be doing everything we can to move away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy, clean transportation, safe biking and walking options like Bob Jones trail expansion, and battery storage. We should be providing more housing and support services for our homeless population. We should be setting a positive example for other cities when it comes to these top 2 issues. Prioritize completion of the downtown arts district. This will be a huge economic beneflt to the downtown. Page 56 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Prioritize downtown vitality, which includes being stricter about keeping streets and sidewalks attractive to visit, to help generate revenues and encourage tourism. Prioritize housing which is affordable for the labor force (non-student labor) so that low wage earners can live where they work. This drives downtown vitality and economic growth throughout the city. Prioritize issues/projects that overlap with other pressing or important issues. Take the unhoused situation for example; it overlaps with the vitality of the downtown businesses, public safety and arguably with open space enhancement and preservation. Prioritize maintenance of existing resources before funding new services/assets. Prioritize multi modal transportation. PRIORITIZE neglected existing neighborhood maintenance, for instance, especially irregular neighborhood sidewalks that are now only having blacktop slapped down (which quickly settles leaving the dangerous top edge still protruding up). At least give workers bright yellow and green spray paint to cross hatch the blacktop for visibility. Spend MUCH less on the striping, planter boxes, bulb-outs and curbs dividing streets into narrow lanes. Prioritize projects that generate/require the least street/sidewalk lane closures. Prioritize projects with the greatest long term beneflts. For example, prioritizing bike safety and convenience may reduce demand for more public parking. Prioritize projects/expenses with strong flscal ROI, such as projects that enhance/attract more sales tax revenue. Invest in making SLO a destination community, particularly our amazing downtown. Work with Cal Poly to bring more programs (conferences, events, seminars) to SLO to flll hotels, restaurants and shops. Work with the development community to reduce/eliminate barriers to creating more workforce housing in SLO. We are known as a local government that is challenging to work with: flx that reality/perception. Prioritize the important infrastructure projects that positively affect the largest number of citizens. There are a number of gratuitous city jobs that serve few, if any, that are a flnancial drain on the budget. Priority:homeless and cleaning g up down town. Probably consult with a flnancial flrm that specializes in helping government entities in shoring up their flnances. No doubt there is some cash leakage. Charge CalPoly for every time our flre department makes a trip to campus for an overly drunk college student. Raise taxes on short-term rentals/AirBnBs. Raise taxes on rental properties. Freeze police funding at its current level to increase social services support for our homeless community members. Auction off surplus municipal equipment. Projects in historically neglected areas of the city should be prioritized for new projects. For example, the now 10-year old South Broad Street Area Plan. The incentives for developers were realized, yet the transportation infrastructure has been neglected for 10 years. Projects such as these should get priority. Page 57 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Projects may need to generate revenue, but same net effect if they offset costs or save on maintenance. Thus maintaining infrastructure is critical. Given the success of the recent measure to increase our local sales tax what is the nature of the current â€œflscal constraintsâ€œ? Provide incentives to developers willing to provide affordable housing, community service. Developers could commit to cover costs for workers to provide necessary services. Purchase and rehab existing EMPTY spaces for housing initiatives rather than building new and taking existing open spaces to grow the city. There are so many empty buildings. Making the process for permitting faster and more affordable to incentivize the transition and rehabbing of empty buildings in SLO might make it more affordable to turn them into low income and middle income housing. Please don't keep building on our beautiful hill. Reghetti Ranch is a travesty. Put a cap on how much land /buildings large property holders can own in slo. Small local businesses are getting pushed out because of companies such as Jamestown and the downtown is suffering because of large property owners Put a halt to the further construction of dangerous bicycle lane curbs, especially on narrow streets. Put a halt to the rather unnecessary small neighborhood traffic circles. Put more maintenance dollars into ares that serve the most people. (E.g., roads for cars, sidewalks for pedestrians, trees, parks.) Put property owners and taxpayers FIRST. Keep parking rates low. Do not attempt to resolve the homeless problem without flrst providing other services. A lack of housing is usually the result of previous actions: ie drug abuse. Give preference to locals and not prisoners released from CMC nor illegals. Put safety of the public flrst. Put some more effort into planning projects . E.g. Spend on a bikeway where there are bike accidents , Foothill, lower higuera rather than chorro. Stop making out of town developers richer by awarding them large development contracts that alter the character of the city. e.g. the two on Foothill/chorro. Put the homeless people on a bus and send them to Los Angeles Put the La Loma Adobe as a high priority Putting the needs and general life improvement and safety projects as a priority should be of paramount importance for any city management. Why not prioritize health, recreation, open space and safety for the residents that have been paying for these city services for so many years? Quit catering to the homeless & building them homes.in responsible neighbor hoods. Move them next to where you live. Quit favoring the downtown merchants and tourists over the people who live here Quit spending so much on the concrete barriers foe bike lanes as well as all the landscaping included in them. I'm a cyclist and feel the bike lanes should be designated in green and expanded throughout the city but feel the concrete barriers are generally more unsafe for vehicle traffic. Also current two lane roads should stay that way but more enforcement on speeds. The roads were originally made two lanes because the need was there. the need is not going away. Page 58 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Rais taxes Raise local taxes and ELIMINATE downtown parking meters/fees Raise taxes on the rich and help public transit! Please! Rank the priorities and look for duplication of tasks/effort on each as well as the number of people actually affected. Re-rank according to the number of 'touches' each gets. Realize people still drive cars. With all the seniors in our community the city is not taking them or the disabled into consideration when redoing roads to accommodate bicyclists. Traffic has gotten worse. The light at the intersections of Broad, Chorro and Foothill back up into the intersection for those turning left from foothill to Broad. The city is not listening to the community, the city is doing what the entitled city council and other governing people want down Reduce / eliminate fussy, poorly designed streetscape modiflcations such as forced flt, undersized â€˜traffic circles' (example Patricia St.), sidewalk â€˜bulb outs' that put pedestrians in confiict with bike lanes (example LOV rd/ Froom Ranch Way intersection) AND design that doesn't adequately accommodate min turning radius for large trucks (example routine truck traffic exiting Post Office - Dalidio Dr /Madonna Rd NE corner. Limited turning options exiting the Post office also force additional vehicular travel plus fuel/pollution as a consequence turning restrictions such as required for access and exit from Post Office on Madonna Rd. (addition of a min of 1 additional mile for every car heading SE from Post Office.) Redirect expenditures to address upkeep of existing travel ways. (Example, Pavement conditions on S Higuera and Tank Farm continue to be very poor due to heavy truck traffic.) Reduce city employees salaries. Esp the City managers! Absurd amt of money paid out for that job. Reduce City of San Luis Obispo headcount/pensions/perks and increase productivity. Reduce City staff and salaries while increasing efficiency in our city operations Reduce city staff employment numbers and get the unfunded pension liability under control. Stop paying exorbitant union wages and PLA pricing for projects. Reduce contracting services out. Use existing staff and services. Reduce DEI event sponsorship. Limit/stop hiring. Reduce downtown parking fees to attract more locals who want to come and support restaurants, businesses, etc., but are discouraged. It's very sad to see many business closing. Other cities are able to allow free parking, why not SLO? Less emphasis on DEI expenditures...the country has spoken on its priorities. Many of our streets/roads are full of potholes and desperately need repaving. Reduce expenses where possible knowing that building community and prioritising sustainability/environmentally focused projects will be prosperous for all in the long run. Reduce funding for vehicle transportation infrastructure and redirected into better pedestrian and cyclist and non-traditional transportation. Rezone much of the city for multi-use. Walkable, convenient, attractive services near living spaces. Rezoning will not impact flnances. reduce new building downtown Reduce our overfunded police budget Page 59 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Reduce parking fees Why do we have giant buses when I only ever see 1 or 2 people on them? More buses/routes but smaller would be better. Reduce police force. Reduce police spending. Reduce police spending. Make it easier for citizens to live their lives by cutting red tape and menial enforcements. Eg: increase noise limits by another hour and only allow any one neighbor to complain 3x per year. Let people build ADUs and install heat pumps and chargers with fast track permits that don't take city resources. Reduce redundant and/or unproductive high level administrative positions. Does the city need a CSG director? Deputy City Manager? Are positions added since 2016 necessary? Reduce spending on public safety affordable housing Reduce spending on the Police Dept and funnel more resources into addressing systemic causes of homelessness, addiction, etc via local nonproflts and support services Reduce staffing and use of third party technical consultants. Reduce the cost of the administration of the city's projects. We must increase the efficiency of how the government operates. reduce the cost to build new housing Reduce the focus and money spent on bike-centric changes. Reduce the police force. Provide Fresh water, Trash service, and porta potties to homeless camps. Build rain shelters on high ground ( horse shelters would work) for homeless to stay under during the rainy season. Reduce the scope of regulations and the amount of paperwork required so as to require fewer person-hours in the bureaucracy. For example, a self-employed consultant with a home office who does not see clients at home and who does not do any material manufacturing should not need to go through the whole rigamarole of getting a home office permit from the city. They're just working from home like so many employees do and the city should respect that they do not need special permission to do so. Reduce the size of city staff. Start by getting rid of extra people who monitor the parking meters. I can't visit the post office without seeing one of them poised to write a ticket. Reduce upper management personnel.....the City has too many chiefs and not enough indians and cut back on stupid round abouts with distracting art in them Reduced scope or extended timeline. Reducing spending on law enforcement/policing and increasing it towards public programs and personnel committed to deescalation, and investment in education and community services to reduce crime instead. Page 60 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Reducing the width and number of lanes on major thoroughfares, and adding permanent curbs to accommodate bikes that currently *use the sidewalk with impunity* and *can and do* use vehicle lanes is: unsafe for the majority of people and vehicles, very foolish, a waste of money, creates a poor impression of our city for visitors. To reduce the negative impacts noted above, please return to delineating bike lanes with green paint. Regular meetings to reevaluate priorities with clear criteria on how to rank initiatives Reign in the massive police budget and redirect toward programs with demonstrable beneflts for regular citizens. Giving the cops a blank check doesn't empower them to solve problems outside of their skills, abilities, and interest. If you want to really be ambitious, you could flne the proflteering landlords who leave their downtown storefronts vacant for the tax write off and diminish the city in the process. More affordable housing would also help with both DEI and cultural vitality. Thanks for your hard work and for hearing me out. :) Reign in the Police and Fire Dept. costs. Relax building restrictions Remove DEI from the list of priorities. Remove lawns that need to be watered and maintained at public buildings. Keep lawns at parks and sports areas only. Encourage city workers and residents to report leaks noticed on public and private property. This would save money and water and set a good example. Remove parking meters from downtown and put them in the giant parking lots at the strip malls (madonna plaza, hime depot, etc). Rent has to get under control in Slo, it's the major factor in affordability around here. If no one has disposable income, I'm not sure how they are supposed to support local businesses or contribute to local economy. An average of $1,900 for a one bed room is unsustainable and we can't keep letting landlords use college students as an excuse to price gouge. Replacing less roads and focusing on pleasing the citizens themselves. Including safer sidewalks, parks, and crosswalks. Require a Plaground in one of the new Violet St developments. Build bike paths before developing new areas like Tank farm. Restore 1hour free garage parking to encourage locals to patronize businesses downtown. More shopping = more tax revenue for you. Currently I avoid going downtown because I can park free elsewhere. Rethink and reprioritize services currently provided e.g golf. Establish realistic user fees for distinct services. Contract outside for distinct services to reduce salary demand. Page 61 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Return to basic functions and programs appropriate for a city. Public safety, infrastructure, upkeep, and combating homelessness in a framework of flnancial responsibility. DEI and climate goals should not be part of the city's top goals. Review projects to determine if they have added value in the form of a justiflable betterment to the community or an ROI and adjust where they have not. Reviewing outcomes of current projects in the last two years. Safety and cleanliness flrst! Safety and reducing homelessness, priority #1 Salary cuts to the top-earning 25% of city employees. Cut back on unneeded staff and institute some draconian mandates. Recruit younger people from Cal Poly to analyze and hire replacement staff of the top earning current staff. Exclude the police and flre departments from the cuts/adjustments. Scrap all DEI spending. See which programs have the most potential and maybe divest in those who don't. Seek community volunteer efforts, reduce staffing by 5%, incent staff for cost saving ideas, review police budget vs crime statistics to determine a reduction, secure more state/federal dollars Seek constituent feedback at strategic points of funding and alternative plans or Plan B's if funding is in jeoprody or there are cost infiation. Seek partnerships with churches to address the multifaceted issue of addressing the homeless population. Select and prioritize projects that address multiple priorities/issues. Sell the stupid bearcat. Allow card payment on buses Set reasonable goals and work towards them over time. Audit the effectiveness of the current plans and ensure we are being efficient and not wasteful Share efforts and priorities with other regional cities and counties. Share with the community which of the current and existing programs are required and which are not. Slightly different answer to the question: if Council does not prioritize climate action, climate resilience and disaster preparedness, including open space and sustainable transportation, the impact that the City will experience in the future will be far worse in the long term than the flscal impacts of funding those items now. SLO has a real advantage in the student population and talented residents who live here. Making use of the human resources potential in the form of internships or class credits for learning new skills in such useful areas such as remodeling or repurposing (especially former business structures) for housing residents could be one very inexpensive trade-off for the community. It might also encourage student and resident collegiality. SLO law officials should not support ICE activities. That costs nothing. Page 62 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) SLO needs to clean up downtown to bring back business. People do not want to visit downtown when they have to observe the fllth around vacant stores and the homeless. If businesses are to grow and expand the area needs to be a desirable place to visit. Let's provide a destination people want to live comfortably and people want to visit. Please continue to clean up Prado. Would like to use the Bob Jones trail but too many homeless occupying the area. Such a shame. SLOPD budget too large. Can someone else take reports after crimes are committed? Slow down Big CIP projects to facilitate quality of life focus. Keep going with bike infrastructure. Slow down development! So hard to choose! All listed areas need some level of funding and support Soda tax Solve the homeless and safety problem and it will flx the other problems leading to more business and tourism and greater revenue. Speciflc sales tax within commercial areas & downtown. Spend less money on bicycle-centric road changes that make things harder for everyone except the small (and presumably vocal and well funded) percentage of folks riding bikes. Spend less money on bike lanes that make our roads unsafe for bikers, pedestrians and cars! Spend less on bike lanes Spend less on bike stuff and more on pedestrian stuff. The very expensive bike stuff panders to a small but powerful minority, while we all walk, and this is unfair. Encouraging walking is a far better target than fancy bike facilities for cutting carbon emissions. The amount of carbon going into the bike stuff will never be compensated for by bike use. Quit hiring costly consultants to tell staff how to sneeze. If staff don't know how to sneeze, we need different staff. At present the city is apparently incapable of doing anything without flrst hiring a consultant. Get rid of the city's public relations department, contract flrms, and staff. They are unnecessary and their products annoying. Spend less on policing. Seek grants from state and federal level. Consider raising taxes for the wealthiest groups. Spend the diversity fund on trees instead. Spending money on diversity and inclusion is not going to bring in more money. We need to support the people that are here working right now, such as food service, hospitality, and retail. By supporting small businesses and thee labor associated we'll bring in money through tourism. This can also be done by beautifying rows. A good example would be the Broad Street Corridor. By beautifying one of our main corridors into town (especially from the airport) it will make a better impression on those visiting, make access into these businesses safer and easier, as well as improve the aesthetics. This will help these small businesses and the people that work there, not just in the corridor but in downtown as well. Stage large project making sure the citizens are made aware of the progress being made. Page 63 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Start a fund that creates a plan to eventually takes the parking meters away, even if mean everyone who lives in SLO pays into it. Start with what is most urgent and most needed. For example, multi -modal transportation. You started with something that was not urgent at all (Chorro did not need such an overhaul) and completely neglected areas that screamed for help, such as Foothill, where we had two deaths, or Broad on the south side, with daring cyclists ride with no protection along speeding cars. Please, THINK before you act. I failed to take pictures that would prove the city's negligence killed Andreas Koi, but it does not absolve you from it. Try, at least, to not repeat the same thing. Start with zero when determining your next years budget State & Federal Grants; Private Grants; Private Investment; Enlisting private companies to perform work at non-prevailing wage with reimbursement agreements from City funds to make the municipal dollars go further. Stay on budget and NO MORE BONDS! Step back from sustainable mandates and investing in making a difference in Carbon Neutral initiatives and trying to achieve those ahead of the States mandate -- The truth is our community is too small to make any meaningful difference in the world so yes lets trade off climate initiatives and then donate money to more impactful world wide investments in countries that really pollute in a meaningful way. Stop adding bike paths and turning 2 lanes into one. Stop raising salaries of city employees. eliminate the tree committee stop being picky about the look of private property allow people to sleep in rv on private property and driveways Stop Air B&B rentals and convert properties to permanent housing. Stop all projects that interfere with traffic fiow and visibility of bicyclists. Implement a fee system for owners of vacant downtown commercial property to incentivize fllling them. Lower rents and creative thinking need to be encouraged. Stop building Stop building excessive bike lanes with high curbs and ugly planter boxes Stop building expensive bike routes that actually create hazardous driving conditions Stop building huge parking garages in the most valuable real estate downtown. Investigate the bribery that occured to block the completion of the bob Jones bike trail linking it to the city (or just please use eminent domain to take the right of way all of us desperately need to get to work/leisure in Avila/dcpp by bike) Stop building pointless concrete barriers for bike lane on streets Stop building the weird bike lanes the cyclists and driver hate and are confused by... Stop building these bike lanes such as those on Santa Barbara. They are unnecessary and cost too much. Page 64 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Stop catering to bicyclists and student walkways and focus on moving traditional forms of traffic through the city. I get that the council wants more people to walk, ride or take the bus around town but that is not reality. Spend any morning of the week trying to get across town between 7 and 10 AM and you will see how reducing traffic lanes and encouraging other modes of transportation has been ineffective and frustrates the citizens that are living in reality. Not your utopian dreamworld of walking and biking to work, school or their child's daycare. Stop creating hazardous bike "safety" lanes. The city spent millions for the safety lanes on Chorro St, only to take away all emergency pullover areas. No one can get out of the way of emergency traffic without going head-on in the wrong lane with opposing vehicles. I have personally seen a flre emergency where flre trucks and police personnel could NOT access the active flre because cars physically could not pull over to get out of their way. Police vehicles had to park over a block away and run into the scene. It greatly delayed emergency response and could have endangered lives. ALL that was needed was to just paint the bike lanes bright green. Instead the cement barriers and tall planter boxes create a safety hazard, MULTIPLE accidents have happened as a result of those cement barriers AND it is vastly more difficult to see bikes with the planter boxes blocking the view. Traffic on Chorro is greatly increased because all turn lanes have been taken away. I have lived on Chorro for 20+ years and have seen more accidents in the last 6 months than in the last 20 years. Stop developing open spaces & put more time into local parks Stop doing everything over and over again, Coordinate projects between all departments before repaving, then digging up the streets for water lines then repaving then putting in new sewer lines then repaving then restriping and then changing all the roads to single lanes causing mile long back ups like Johnson Ave. Doing it right the flrst time will save a lot of money. Instead of funding recreational bicyclists how about a Girls Softball facility? But if building new recreation opportunities make sure to have enough parking unlike the disaster at the Damon Garcia flelds. Stop expanding the new bike lanes/barriers. Reduce unnecessary City staff positions. Stop funding climate initiatives which may actually be counter productive; we need a shift in the balance towards access and affordability, and careful consideration of impacts of speciflc energy sources and policies. Stop funding DEI programs. I know that might not sound popular, but it's just not necessary. Stop funding the traffic barriers known as safe bike lanes and get to work on pot holed streets and homeless trash heaps. Stop giving raises to the top 10% administrators who funnel money into their own pockets Stop lining your own pockets and flx the housing. Stop make-work and re-do construction projects, better strategic planning of resources, time, management, use unused funds. Stop making bike lanes Page 65 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Stop overpaying city officials, redundant city employees, and golden parachutes. The city needs to cut the fat and streamline operations as many of us feel like our heavy property taxes and business taxes are being wasted on payrolls. Stop putting any money in projects such as the bike lanes. These are making our city less safe with more accidents. Stop putting in needless traffic circles and bike lines, prioritize downtown and homelessness STOP PUTTING SO MUCH FUCK!NG MONEY INTO POLICING COLLEGE KIDS AND MAYBE PUT IT INTO SOMETHING ACTUALLY FUCK!NG USEFUL LIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. If there weren't 10 cops for every student maybe you'd have money to do other stuff. Stop reducing the lanes on the downtown streets. Stop removing vehicle lanes to add bike lanes that no one uses. Buy fewer stupid expensive electric vehicles (trucks and busses). Enforce existing laws and drive the homeless out of downtown to make is safe and welcoming to locals and tourists. Stop spending funds on unnecessary bicycle infrastructure that is barely used by bicyclists and creates narrower streets, less safe driving conditions, and difficult parking. Keep focus on projects that beneflt the citizens' needs. Avoid projects of special interest groups such as â€œREACHâ€ who are pushing political agendas at tax payer expense. Maintain the original small town feel of SLO and only approve projects that support that focus. Make it a priority. Tall buildings are destroying the view and charm of the town. Traffic congestion from increased building without increased infrastructure is making driving a challenge. Large housing projects without adequate parking and infrastructure are choking city streets. Narrowing streets for bicycles only worsens the situation especially when few bicycles are using them. Require developers and their projects to add charm to the city that refiects the heart of our town rather than an industrial feel of tall buildings with little architectural appeal. Thanks. Stop spending limited tax revenues on feel good initiatives such as the DEI programs. Stop giving away City owned property to Cal Poly Corporation! If it needed that easement, it has more than sufficient revenues to have paid fair market value. It is a violation of the municipal code for the City to make a gift of public property. Stop spending millions of dollars on things that are only used by a small percentage of the population. (Example, the North Chorro project). There are streets in the city that don't have sidewalks, that are lacking street lights etcâ€¦. Let's nail down and make what we have the best it can be before building new shiny things. Stop spending millions on bike lanes that most cyclists don't like. Stop spending money on bike lanes. Stop spending money on DEI and bike lanes throughout town. They are horrible and such a waste of money. If you sent out a survey of resident satisfaction if the bikes lanes, i believe it would be very telling. Stop spending money on garbage programs that's don't flx problems. Start enforcing crime equally and consistently. Stop spending money on non essential stuff like dei and bicycle expansion. Concentrate on potholes and pubic safety. Page 66 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Stop spending money on protected bike lanes and start addressing the homeless issue. Our main entrance from the freeway into SLO welcomes all visitors with massive trash from homeless encampments. Stop spending money on the bike lanes Stop spending money on the dangerous bike lanes. however, it's too late now, the damage is already done! The lanes are way too narrow, and it's obvious the city doesn't want anyone to drive a truck or motorhome on city streets . Stop spending money putting in speed humps in neighborhoods. Do not waste our money on projects like "The green way" through the Anholm neighborhood. Prioritize more money for basic needs of the entire city and stop catering to a select group of citizens like bicyclists. STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DO NOT HAVE. There is only so much you can take from the citiens and businesses. Run the city like your household - only spend what you actually have. Stop spending needless money. How many hundreds of thousands (if not millions) have been spent on bike lanes (and this is coming from an avid and life-long cyclist)? I have witnessed near accidents on multiple occasions simply from the poor design. I know from Cal Poly classes on city planning that the goal of the political elites is to eliminate cars; well, we folks who employ the political class beg to differ. We want freedom of movement, so stop trying to force bikes down our throats. Many of us take seriously the Pledge of Allegiance which ends with freedom and liberty for all, so we expect the city to do everything possible to make living here as free as possible. Often it seems like the homeless and illegal immigrants have more rights in this town than tax-paying homeowners and renters. Summation: lower taxes and diminish regulations. Stop spending on projects that help very few and focus on projects that beneflt the entire community. Stop spending our tax dollars on programs that don't beneflt residents' quality of life and affordability. Spending money on ideology goals doesn't help most families struggling to put food on the table and pay their expensive water, sewer, and energy bills. Focus on quality of life where residents can feel safe and enjoy peace and quiet in their homes. Focus on making traffic fiow easier and stop spending our tax dollars on complicated expensive and often dangerous bikeways that are hindering traffic fiow. Focus on returning our downtown to the quality it used to be by focusing on lowering parking fees and stop giving away our tax dollars in Grants to those who start a business under the city's DEI program but then abandon their business. Focus on helping ALL who want to start a business--not just those who flt within the city's deserving criteria. If the city stops giving away our tax dollars for frivolous ideals, rather than serving our residents so they can have a better quality of life that they can afford, you'll have plenty of saved revenue to focus on the important things residents feel are important. SLO is losing families due to unaffordability and one of the reasons is that the city isn't putting enough pressure on Cal Poly to build sufficient housing for their ever-increasing enrollment. A family in my neighborhood has given up and is moving to Tennessee because they realize they'll never be able to afford a house here. The middle-income families can't afford to live here so focus on programs that can help them. Page 67 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Stop spending resources and time on DEI. Stop spending resources and time on changing roads to accommodate bike lanes. These roads are confusing for drivers, and the cyclists do not use the designated bike lanes, thereby making the roads more hazardous for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Continue clearing homeless encampments. Stop spending so much money on fancy bike lanes and use that money elsewhere. Stop spending so much money on wasteful, dangerous, and unnecessary protected bike lanes. Consider lowering the downtown parking rates. Quit spending money on ruining single family residential neighborhoods with bike lanes and protect the functionality and ambience of our neighborhoods. Stop spending time on unneeded projects like bike lanes, bad design pedestrian crossings, etc making car travel more difficult and dangerous. The woke/climate signaling to the rest of the state is pathetic. Fix actual issues like homelessness, crime and housing affordability for locals. The city council consistently sees a flre in one room and decides to ignore it and bake a cake in the kitchen just to post it on Instagram Stop starting projects until other projects are well under way and the new project is well funded. The City has chased funds to complete projects because they were not funded before starting. Much of the staff time is running in circles trying to flnd fund ing to flnish projects. Stop taking away driving lanes for bike lanes. Traffic is already horrible. It's getting worse and we need to do something about it. Stop the bike programs! It's a waste of money for our area! It lacks inside into the actual community we live and work in. STOP THE CYCLIST MADNESS. Catering to this niche group has had an incredibly negative impact to the majority of residents. The danger to everyone has increased dramatically. Stop thinking that there is a flscal beneflt or flscal obligation to keep throwing tax payer dollars at diversity, equity, inclusion, affordable housing and homelessness. Stop throwing money (residents' and visitors) at parking. You've created a feedback loop where you continually have to raise parking prices to pay for parking infrastructure and staffing. It's killing downtown. You've fallen for 1) a very vocal minority complaining about lack of downtown parking, and 2) the fallacy of sunk costs - "we've spent so much already, we need to make this work". Stop the nonsense. If you put the same dollars into a healthy transit system, to maximize bus, bike and pedestrian circulation, we'll all be better off. Several years ago, the City released a graphic showing the cost per mile of walkers, bikes, buses, and single occupancy vehicles, which showed cars to cost taxpayers exponentially more than alternative forms of transportation. Follow the science (or at least the simple math). Stop trying to be Ventura. Stop catering to what Cal Poly students want. Prioritize the residents who will last more than 4 years, and who contribute to the ecosystem of the city in more than just tuition dollars, rent and tourism. Stop wasting money on bike lanes and curbing Page 68 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) -Stop wasting money on expensive gimmicks like DEI programs and their overpaid positions. Instead, encourage community/cultural engagement through projects and purposeful interaction. Such events can be both volunteer and "perk" compensated (downtown coupons, free parking, free tickets Etc.) -Attract more people downtown by Common Sense parking lot and structure design with spaces wide enough for an average car and person to park in without damaging their or someone else's vehicle. -Sustained development - Traffic congestion is a major turn off for any beautiful city or area. -Homelessness - Homeless programs with health professionals (hospitals), religious groups, other volunteers, and work programs -Community service work and projects performed by Highschool and college students, convicted and probationary citizens. Stop wasting money on projects that don't work and on unnecessary spending. Tighten up your budget by taking a good look at things that are beneflcial and things that are a waste. Stop wasting money on superfiuous tasks and unnecessary projects. Use money from tourism and sales tax to fun the necessary projects and stop wasting taxpayers money on garbage we don't need STOP wasting money on virtue signaling programs. Stop wasting money. Tighten budget and know where other money is being spent barn make sure it's working, if not, pull the funding for things that matter. As a family we used to love going to SLO. We never go unless we have to now because it's dirty and dangerous. My kids cry when I need to go downtown for things because they don't want to go because they are scared. Stop with the bike lanes and save money Stop worrying about giving the homeless population more resources and start flxing roads and stoplights. Substantially reduce or eliminate entirely the investment in climate-related initiatives and similar priorities which achieve few if any short- or long-term beneflts for citizens, and focus instead on those priorities which have an immediate, measurable, and signiflcant impact on the quality of life in San Luis Obispo. We aren't Los Angeles. We aren't Santa Barbara. Let's stop trying to be them and embrace who we are.

Advocating for intersectionality in planning, programs and policy that can facilitate cross-sector support and hopefully attract additional funding. Also a focus on preventative community care and planning to address root causes as much as possible. Encourage looking into the recent passing of Proposition 4.

Trees are infrastructure. The City can partially fund these efforts by creating an in-lieu fee account when new development, to meet the City's housing goals, cannot accommodate trees onsite. Prioritizing Urban Forestry will help develop local green economy. Sustainable transportation should continue to expand, raise fares if needed and keep discounted fares for low income/seniors, etc. Needed bike racks could be offered to businesses to fund through advertising. Take a hard look at the current usage of bike lanes versus the amount of drivers in cars, and see if the change in road construction is really worth it. Look at current state of the sidewalks on our city streets, some are too narrow for disabled persons and present tripping hazards for elderly, children & dog walkers due to the many cracks and tree root upheaval. Take care of people and planet. Homelessness deeply impacts community, safety, and sense of place. My husband and I work in San Luis and live in Los Osos. We used to go out to dinner every week in SLO, but stopped doing that when a homeless person nearly attacked us randomly one evening. We need to take people off the streets and give them more support. Take it out of the police budget. Would also love to see work toward more environmentally- minded landscaping (Leave the Leaves, etc.) Tax all churches and businesses the same as your citizens. No more stupid bike lanes, stop having private meetings and giving yourself raises ( eg Matthew Bronson of GB $ 400,000. Salary a year Page 70 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue.

Tax SLO proflts more - maybe flnd a way to tax tourists Thank you all for your service and dedication to making San Luis Obispo the amazing place that it is! And getting better :-) That I'm not sure of That's a great question. I'm sorry I'm not smart enough to come up with something that would work without raising taxes. Maybe your top vote here get done the flrst year and then the next... The absurd amount of money that has and is being spent on bike lanes which are used by a very small portion of the population needs to stop! Traffic is backing up in areas where lanes have been reduced and safety downtown is compromised for all (drivers, pedestrians, and often bicyclists). Downtown, accessibility for seniors and disabled has been severely restricted with some of the new lanes. We have so many other, more important, needs in our community. Housing is being built all over town with no additional investments in roads, parks, schools, etc. As important as providing housing is, we must also provide the infrastructure to support it. The amount the city has spent on the Homeless population through grants and etc and we continue to have a poor outcome from our efforts. We cannot build our way out of homelessness. Homeless population has to be held accountable- clean area and leave without trash. Are transients identifled by police or mental health staff with attempting to obtain an ID and etc. So many of the people in this population can be assisted by expecting them to be part of the solution. We are failing this population and thus failing the citizens of SLO. The bike infrastructure/lanes and roundabouts aren't practical - especially off of LOVR and downtown. The excessive road rash from tires all over the curb islands show it is obviously not working. Divert active transportation funding toward things that mat ter to more people - prepping for storms, a safe and clean downtown (speciflcally, pressure washing city-owned parking structure staircases on a more frequent basis) and supporting childcare so our young families (especially working mothers) have safe and reliable options for peace of mind in order to go back to work. The buena vista park requires new benches which can be done affordably and revitalize the park considerably. The businesses will come back once parking is free. The city can work with pre-existing non-proflt organizations such as San Luis Obispo Climate Coalition. The city cannot sacriflce basic needs like housing supply and affordability, infrastructure maintenance and homelessness for ideological and cultural projects. With flscal constraints, the city must make the hard decisions to focus on the priorities that daily impact resident's lives. When their is surplus, then new projects can be considered. Don't over complicate this by pandering to trending ideas and, please, don't go the weak way of raising taxes or fees, like the recent downtown parking issue. The city must be prudent even if it appears unpopular in today's Page 71 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) culture of people who expect much with no sense of sacriflce and delayed gratiflcation. Let's do the adult thing with flscal restraint and sticking to the important priorities of meeting the basic needs of our community flrst. Thank you The city could host more events like concerts in the plaza and generate revenue with food/drink sales. I personally don't want to increase city bike lanes because no matter how many there are or how safe they seem, if they are alongside cars, I'm not going to use them. The visibility for trucks and cars is so bad now with the trend in bigger models. The city does a good job in general, and it is clear that everyone really cares about SLO. Enforcing loitering and nuissance laws against homeless that impinge upon the general population's priorities and enjoyment of our city should be a focus. Adding vitality to downtown is admittedly a daunting task, but things like Shop SLO and getting good anchors in place are sure to further the cause. The city does a great job seeking public comments. Providing opportunities for the public to weigh in on prioritizing new projects or services is the flrst step. The City has been expanding many programs and initiating new projects in the last few years, new parks, public art, Plaza activities, open space, and other features. I feel that it is important to build into the flscal and staffing budgets the ongoing support for these newer or more enhanced features. There are bound to be pressures on all categories of budgets as the years go on, perhaps an in house living system of priorities might be useful. Also, partnerships and co - authored and managed civic and cultural events may be a good way to spread some of the pressures and responsibilities, while expanding the cultural experience for our community. The City has two glaring problems - the homeless population threatens safety of children in the city, keeping people away, and the businesses aren't able to thrive due to ridiculous rents and parking prices. The city is doing okay The City needs to attract more business that generates sales tax revenue. With the increasing number of hybrids and electric vehicles now on the road, repealing the no drive thru ordinance should be one way to do it. Businesses like Chick Fil A and In-n-Out generate a lot of sales. Also, getting the vacancies fllled Downtown should be a priority. The landlords of these spaces also have an obligation to get them fllled or perhaps they should pay an offset for lost revenue. The city needs to look at how it wastes taxpayer money instead of looking to take more money away from citizens. Money you take from residents is money that they are not spending at local businesses. For instance, were new logos for city vehicles ($750 each) the top priority for residents? How about claiming to plant so many trees and then letting them die? The city needs to prioritize housing and transit. These two things can be transformative for communities. Look at Austin TX for example where the rents have dropped due to inflll housing being a priority. The service workers that do not live in SLO and their transit opportunities should Page 72 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) be as high of a priority. With these two things at the forefront it will address homelessness, DEI, and climate resilience as they go hand in hand. The city needs to quit spending so mucg money on things that do NOT beneflt all the citizens. All the money spent on bike paths and realigning streets does not beneflts everyone--k=just people who have an interest in biking. The city flrst needs to make citizens feel confldent in the wat things are going. The city of Newport collects Transient Occupancy Taxes for Crystal Cove Cottages that are located on state property in a state park. The City of SLO should look at taxes that could be collected from Cal Poly. On campus housing has increased substantially and more is planned/under construction. The impact on the city (infrastructure/etc) should be supported flnancially. One idea is for Cal Poly to collect SLO City sales taxes for on-campus sales. I have other ideas for other revenue sources too. The City of San Luis Obispo should prioritize addressing the systemic root causes of homelessnessâ€”such as unemployment, lack of affordable housing, and mental health challengesâ€”rather than focusing solely on its visible manifestations. Rather than directing the majority of city funds to a limited number of organizations (e.g., CAPSLO and 5Cities Homeless Shelter), the city should explore expanding programs and services to more effectively tackle these underlying issues. Furthermore, the city's investment portfolio should serve as a refiection of its values and priorities. While the quarterly investment reports briefiy reference ESG considerations, a closer look at the city's holdings and the portfolio's management reveals inconsistencies. Greater alignment between the city's investments and its stated values is essential for long -term growth and community trust. The City of SLO could adjust by reallocating resources from lower-priority projects or phasing out underperforming services. The City of SLO may need to carefully prioritize new projects and services while balancing existing commitments. Below are a few of my suggestions: 1. One potential approach is to increase revenue through targeted tax increases, such as adjusting property taxes, sales taxes, or other local revenue sources. However, this would need to be weighed against the potential impact on residents and businesses, and should be coupled with clear communication about how the funds will be used to meet new priorities. 2. Another option is to reassess and reprioritize current projects and services. The City could reduce or eliminate funding for programs or initiatives that have not demonstrated tangible outcomes or a clear return on investment. This might involve conducting performance reviews to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being spent effectively. 3. The City could focus on streamlining existing services by identifying inefficiencies or areas where cost savings can be achieved without sacriflcing quality. This might include leveraging technology, consolidating services, or renegotiating contracts with vendors. Page 73 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) 4. For certain high-priority projects, the City could explore public-private partnerships to share the flnancial burden with private sector entities. These partnerships could provide an alternative funding source and allow the City to focus resources on other critical needs. 5. The City could also pursue additional funding through state or federal grants. While this may not always cover all costs, targeted grant opportunities could help offset expenses for speciflc projects or services. The city should avoid building new buildings or services. Efficiency in government should be rewarded. The city should avoid creating more confusing traffic lights like those at Monterey st and Santa Rosa st. The city should consider partnering with Cal Poly to require flrst and second year students to live on campus and provide incentives for all students to live in student housing in order to lessen the burden on the young professional and working-class and elderly renters. Safe housing and neighborhood wellness are great goals when bolstered by rental assistance, flrst-time home buyer, and other incentives that allow those who work in SLO to live and recreate here as well. The city should not change its foundation basics just to gain more money. Huge hotels and restaurant chains, chain shops etc., don't belong downtown. Where is the money going? The city should reconsider regulations that unfairly require homeowners building or renovating homes to spend tens of thousands on curb gutters and sidewalks for public useâ€”costs many expect taxes to coverâ€”as this impacts housing supply and affordability in SLO. The City should return to basic city services. Continued "mission creep" into non -basic areas undermines many traditional services such as parks, infrastructure maintenance, and safety. Rather than do flve projects or services poorly, the City should con cern itself with doing three projects or services properly. The City cannot be all things to all people. The city should reverse zoning restrictions that limit housing construction. Current zoning makes in-flll construction projects too costly to be affordable for private developers. They only thing that pencils for them are the McMansions, which requires government - and taxpayers - on the hook for low and middle income housing. Government should not have to subsidize housing. We should take the handcuffs off of private developers so they can build more housing for all. The City should stop spending money on any anti-homeless measures, like the Bob Jones fence, or music at park restrooms. They are ineffective. Additionally, as the largest energy consumer within the City, City Utilities has an excellent opportunity to install green energy solutions (solar, micro hydro) at its Stenner Water Treatment Page 74 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) plant and WRRF that would offer long-term net savings. These have been passed by previously in the name of cost savings, but we are now paying for this oversight. The expected tax revenue from stimulating commercial and residential occupancy downtown could be considered as an expense offset. The homeless problem needs to be the flrst thing addressed. If you can clean up downtown and get them away from downtown, there would probably be an increase of people going downtown which would increase sales and bring in taxes to the city. Bring in more business that can survive downtown and make downtown what it used to be. It used to be a cool place to go but it is really depressing to go there now with all the businesses gone and the homeless camping out in front of the empty buildings. The sidewalks smell like urine and it's just gross. Also, parking costs to go downtown are high now. It was way better when you got the flrst hour free. Sometimes that is all you need to just run to a store but now you have to pay 3 or 4 bucks. The homeless situation has made me rethink about living and running a business from here. Less city services for them would make SLO less appealing. The more people on bikes the less wear and tear on roads, so they won't have up be repaved as often The more we can lower carbon emissions in our city the better! Sustainability, access to public transportation/non car transportation need to be prioritized over freeway expansions, etc. Thank you The MOST import priority is stop the suffering. We have humans dying in the creeks and on our streets. Drug addiction is killing our towns. Take a walk down the Bob Jones trail. You cant even use it. The environmental damage going on from this is mind blowing. Clean up our town and make it safe. Then work from there. . The most pressing issue is addressing homeless in the community. I hear over and over again that people do not want to venture downtown, to parks etc. because of homelessness issues. That fact impacts the ability of the city to raise revenue through sales tax, parking, etc. Furthermore, cultural vitality means little when you will not go to experience it because you are afraid of being hassled, you children coming across drug paraphernalia, etc. Aggressively addressing homelessness can save money as well by freeing up resources we already have. There is talk of creating new parks etc. when so many existing parks go unused because the unhoused population has made others feel unsafe and unwelcome in those spaces. The number one priority should be sustainability. Adding more non-affordable housing to our area will only create greater strains on our infrastructure, which will make it difficult to preserve the exceptional beauty and health of the the city. Please limit growth to save our resources, lower emissions and keep our city, including its water supply, sustainable. The protected intersections and protected bike lanes have been overdone and create additional problems. Any additional construction of these should be avoided (traded-off) to focus flscal resources to more important priorities. The quality issues and noncompliance at Avila Ranch are a window into the most critical problem the city needs to address: graft. The city failed flrst-time homeowners, and the council is ultimately responsible for the shameful lack of integrity afforded to them. Page 75 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) The streets on the east side of freeway are crumbling and need to be repaired. Tank Farm between Broad and Orcutt should be a priority as well as Sacramento. The unfortunate reality is without a diverse population of people living in SLO we will never really accomplish larger goals of cultural vitality or allow downtown the fiourish. If a diverse population of people cannot afford to live in SLO or its surrounding towns then we will continue to see them leave for more affordable areas. We have to take time to invest in creating affordable options for people to live here. The vitality of downtown San Luis Obispo is essential to the city's economic health. As the heart of the community and a key destination for tourists, downtown generates signiflcant revenue through sales tax. Prioritizing its cleanliness, safety, and overall experience is crucial to sustaining this economic engine. Addressing the issue of mentally ill homeless individuals is complex, but a focused approach is necessary to ensure downtown remains safe and welcoming. Increased mental health support, along with services located outside the core area, could help achieve this. Additionally, bars and late-night restaurants, which are major contributors to downtown litter and maintenance challenges, should bear more responsibility. Implementing higher fees or ta rgeted levies for these businesses could offset cleanup costs and allow the city to reinvest in maintaining downtown's appeal. By aligning flscal spending with these priorities, the city can support a thriving downtown that beneflts both residents and visi tors. The3 Chorro Street is really over crowded with planters and bike lanes. There is not enough room for cars to drive down the street. There are way too many modern buildings popping up in the city. This will make it no different to other places, try to create and encourage more preservation of the character the city stood for. There is a lot of money being spent on PR projects such as the new Chorro bike lanes. In theory, they are a good idea, however the maintenance and upkeep will just keep adding demands to the city budget. This is just one example of spending city money on fi uff instead of real public services to make our city safer and economically viable. There is so much speeding going on in the 25 mph zones that if you strategically place cameras and send out the ticket to violators....$$$$!!! In the long run, consider striping roadways in the 25 mph zones with 10 foot wide travel lanes. On my residential street (Lincoln) the drivers have 14' wide travel lanes. Our freeways are striped at 12'. No wonder the drivers are taking it at 40- 60 mph!! It's truly disturbing. And the noise that the speeding causes. Ugh!! Striping and cameras are a pretty cheap way to get the drivers to slow down offering a huge beneflt to the town and the comfort of those walking and biking. There is too much building and expansion, too much to affordably maintain Need to re-prioritize maintaining what makes SLO unique and beautiful, not just keep building. Especially when some of the projects are done with cheap material. Page 76 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) there must be grants available to assist the city of SLO in their current projects and how about you get Big Builders of housing developments to put in funds. I don't know the current projects, but it seems if there are current projects you flnish those flrst and then move on to next projects. There needs to be something to help local families in need. I grew up in San Luis Obispo, and now am struggling to raise my family here. Even though I have a stable job (I'm a teacher in SLO), our rent goes up 10% every year, which makes it impossible to get ahead. There is absolutely no protection for us as renters, and the company (McNamara) tells us every year, "If you don't like it, them leave." However, there are limited houses with backyards for families in this town. I don't understand why there aren't resources for families who rent and also who want to buy a home. If I educate hundreds of students in San Luis, shouldn't I also deserve to be able to live here without without the threats of astronomical rent increases? There was money given and applied for to dredge the lake. Where did it go? They can look at sharing and/or combining services with surrounding communities. This may reduce manpower needs and associated resource costs. It might also improve efficiency. The City could also evaluate providing services (at a cost) to surrounding co mmunities to generate revenue. Smaller nearby cities might flnd it more affordable for them to hire SLO services than for them to provide the same services themselves. The City should conduct a benchmarking survey with other similar sized cities to compare our costs, org structure, size of government, etc. to see if there are areas for improvement. They should focus less on public transit and more on individual cars, bikers, and pedestrians. The open spaces can be improved under the existing budget by bringing back the night hiking permit process (flll out info online for free) and cleaning up the trails at Reservoir Canyon. They should have thought of that before they threw all that money away on those bike lanes that aren't being used. We can take some money out of the public art budget and the proflts from parking and put it towards public safety. If you're going to allow SLO to be alcohol based there needs to be compensation for more law enforcement. The law enforcement also needs to partner with Cal Poly, who brings in a huge percentage of revenue and make that campus safe. They have a rediculously inadequite police department and that refiects on the reputation of our city. This is an impossible question to answer without a detailed outlay of the city's expenditures. That said, the recent (flrst) parking overhaul was a disaster. And parking is still an issue, even with the reduced rates. The other evening, had I not had a fiashlight in my car, I would have been unable to work the parking meter on Monterey Street. (This was never an issue when paid parking ended at 6 p.m.) It's important not to make visitors--whether tourists or locals--feel like they're being bilked. But if you need a source for fees: attach monthly fees to any downtown building left vacant for more than six months. They are a downer for visitors and cut into the city's charm. This is impossible to answer without speciflcs. Impact and value are key for where the city has discretion. This is why the City Council is paid the big bucks. Page 77 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) This statement does not sound the least bit equitable. It sounds like a pay to play scheme. Lay off employees and cut unnecessary programs to balance budgets (car allowances eliminated, no pay increases, etc). Through partnership and collaboration with for and non proflt organizations. Time management, which would result in a streamlined process and effort, thereby requiring less resources/revenues. Too late. Obscene Pension formulas from 2000's are still drawing down on our capital improvement budget. Too many city employees without enough to do. Some sort of efficiency report should be done. Tough one indeed! Life cycle costs should be (and probably already are) considered for infrastructure and sustainable/multimodal transportation. Homelessness appears to costs us one way or the other. I'd rather it be a thoughtful response than an ad hoc drain on resources. tourist tax Traffic light at Lawrence and broad for everyone's safety. Unfortunately I don't have any recommendations. Unknown Unless it's an emergency, I don't think the City should add new projects or change course in the middle of any project. The City should complete the projects and any new project should only be taken on when funding resources are made available. Upzone residential neighborhoods near downtown to allow duplexes, tri-plexes, and quad- plexes. There is a real notable lack of â€˜missing middle' housing in SLO - especially in neighborhoods where residents could walk or bike easily to downtown. Use existing police budget on removing homeless in downtown. Use funds already set aside for Broad St corridor planning and work, along with federal grant money. Use more contract workers Volunteer programs for community improvement. Maybe try to offer students credit for volunteering even. Events could be like the creek clean-up, trash pick-up, a clothes drive that actually organizes the donations for the intended recipients, have an elderly day where people can volunteer and team up to clean/organize their homes, help with paperwork/bills, or whatever else the elderly tend to need help with. We are so fortunate to have the La Loma Adobe within our City. It is an important part of our heritage and a contribution to the current City's goal of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. Just like the Mission downtown, the La Loma Adobe is part of our history and an important educational resource. As a community we need to preserve the La Loma Adobe for future generations. We don't need more cops. In fact, we could lose a few. We have excess of added transport and we are an incredibly welcoming community to diversity so minimize those extended efforts so that can be freed up for revitalizing business growth. We have spent more than enough money on bicycle paths We just can't do it all. Focus on the most high risk, high reward opportunities and do them well. Page 78 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) We need lower taxes and less government interference so we can have a better quality of life. The free market works on the government takes a backseat. Government needs to takes care of structure, police and schools. Your goals are well intention, but ultimately you're good intentions make our living in San Luis Obispo more expensive. Can you please take care of roads, water systems, sewer systems, make a safe place for us to live and thrive and have businesses. We don't need your forced policies of renovating properties to make them more efficient. There will always be unintentional consequences to your dictatorship. We need more police and we need to crack down on speeding, driving while texting, driving impaired etc. I think city staff are overpaid compared to other cities of this size, so maybe that is one place to get more funding to pay for services. Find a way to have tourists pay for parking, not residents who have to do business and shop downtown. Encourage Neighborhood Watch programs more. Have police be actually pleasant, whenever I have asked a police officer for a simple questions, they are unsmiling, cold, brusque etc. All that said, I love this city! We need to improve our facilities for youth sports activities especially baseball and football. We need to look closely at the parking and driving policies recently put in place in our downtown. I feel strongly that the flrst hour should be free in our structures. The parking on the streets no longer feels safe with the new bike paths. I have always been so proud of our downtown low parking fees in the past. I admire Paso Robles for making their downtown parking free and turning it into a place people want to spend time and shop in. I recommend suspending funding for childcare and public art. We need to make SLO a safe place for all to visit. The homelessness is an urgent need. It makes going to SLO not desirable. Why not visit other areas in the county that have less of a problem? We avoid going downtown much anymore because of the expense of paying for parking along with being accosted by homeless. It doesn't seem like the city is concerned about all citizens. We have had family members get spit by homeless people coming out of Old Navy. SLO isn't a great destination anymore. We've lived in the area for more than 40 years and only go to a few places anymore (Costco, Target, Panda) because we don't have to pay for parking and can get in and out relatively easy. We used to live just walking downtown but not anymore. We would love to bring back the safe community it once was. We should be concentrating on infrastructure and safety for the health of our city. Page 79 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) We want to flrst start off by saying thank you for sending out this survey and asking what's important. Our flrst thought to offset the revenue, having the city reevaluate the ATC plans for street transformation with protected bike curbs, shrinking lanes or getting rid of lanes, when we can just create bike/walk/run paths off the street across the city. It's important that we keep the uniqueness of SLO that has been what separates our city from others. Local shops, restaurants that are local to our coast and area, with some deflnite good restaurants that share the worlds taste and fiavors that are locally owned and operated. We do not need any more big box stores or chain restaurants. WE HAVE TOO many Starbucks.............why are we allowing so many in our city? I know we need more housing from the STATE of California's view, however as we are learning today, San Luis Ranch is just to tall and too many homes crammed into an area of development. We just came back from S. Lake Tahoe and they have the exact same issues we do in SLO. Housing cost high, rents high, and the work force must travel in to work. We all have to start somewhere, start off young and work our way up. My husband was born and raised here for the past 62 years, and I came over from Clovis in 1986. I have almost been in SLO for 40 years, I am only 57, and what I have noticed is the last few City Council boards have just wrecked what was, the tiny town charm downtown, the parking downtown [cost to the point] we have driven away the locals, the challenge our city faces with the growing displaced people population, the rising issues of the SLO Creek, its contamination, the Prado road nightmare and how it spreads all over the area in the S. Higuera space and all over town. We are moving in the right direction getting more housing for those who need it desperately, however, more will just come. We cannot solve the worlds homelessness in SLO, we can work in a direction to minimize the impact as a whole. The spread of the City towards S. Higuera side of town and across Tank Farm and Buckley are inevitable, however we need to bring back the magic of downtown SLO. We live in such a wonderful place, it's so amazing, and it's a great place for many to visit and dream of living here someday. Let's take back our streets, build off street and safe bike/walk/run paths on the sidewalks, connect the ones we have, save those funds and plan for the next decade to have more locally owned shops back in the downtown, those that bring us the uniqueness like the Hands Gallery, Thrifty Beaches, the SLO Mission Events, Kracken Coffee [too many long time places gone now and lots of open space in downtown], focus on the events that make SLO amazing like Concerts in the Plaza, Farmers Market, and more fun for families locally. Most citizens would all like the city council to reach out to the community as they are doing now and with this survey [AND LISTEN] to what the protected bike paths have accomplished or not. Many would like to know the true population that actually bikes in our city for work and for fun? What is that number. And move in a direction that supports those that drive, those that walk/run, those that need and want to bike, what about our bus system? I can't even imagine a bus trying to drive down N. Chorro with the shrinking of the lanes. Out and about in SLO is the focus! Many of us just love our lives, just not the recent changes in the last 10 years. I will say the changes to the Buckley Road access is excellent. Getting the Prado Interchange done, bridge widened, and the connections from Prado Tank Farm and/or Broad Street would be excellent to help with traffic fiow. Infrastructure needs to be a high priority. Building homes without better access and traffic fiow across the city is very apparent now. We are all looking forward to what is in store for our wonderful city of SLO. Wealth tax and carbon tax Page 80 Survey Question #3 Responses Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services may require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) Well if it is budget related why even ask??? Well, for one, don't pay for poorly planned things like lame tiny traffic circles, and the terrible Chorro bike lanes. I ride, and these monstrosities are NOT the way to make bikers more safe on streets. We need to focus on preserving/maintaining what makes this town desirable, and not let a few local families/business owners run downtown into the ground. We need a diversity of businesses and activities to attract and keep both locals and tourists coming to all areas of the city. We need to make Poly house and service the majority of its students on campus (ie, bars on campus) - this would relieve pressure and allow downtown to diversify and flnd a new audience to serve. It's really depressing what's happened in the last 15 years to the downtown, and I hope we can reverse this trend. My partner and I moved here from the Bay Area, and that lead to our two sets of parents and multiple siblings also move here. I am happy to see more families here, and th e demographics shifting away from only 20 years olds. But our downtown has to improve to keep that happening. I hate to admit that if we were looking to move, SLO might not be on our list anymore. Most days, I'd rather go to AG or Paso or LO to go shopp ing or dining rather than SLO. Our parking situation was never great, but now it's terrible, and more importantly, the overall boredom of yet another bar (owned by one of the 5 people that own all of them) or one more dumb hamburger, pizza joint always going in - it's just sad. What are the flscal constraints? What are your current projects? What are your current priorities? How can I answer this question unless I know all those things. I guess it's on me to look elsewhere on the internet to flnd out this information. While I'm not necessarily pro -car, the new bike lanes are adding congestion to SLO streets. Traffic is backed up on Johnson from Laurel all the way to the hospital sometimes. People are speeding and doing other aggressive things like passing cars driving the speed limit in the center lanes and more. These bike lanes (which, let's be honest, a very small percentage of the population uses) are making worse a traffic problem that's not being addressed. What has brought tourists to San Luis Obispo has been the glorious quality of life we all experience in this area, with SLO being the central support -- the heart. Tourists bring money, but the bookkeeping might not show a direct connection between an improvement made by City budgeters and the tourist money generated. One aspect that resonates with many visitors, I imagine, is that SLO has been a vital hub since before the Americans came, and La Loma Adobe was here at that time, when Spanish and Mexicans were advancing the material quality of life in the area. (Recent Optically Stimulated Luminescence dating tests have determined that at least part of La Loma Adobe was constructed as early as 1782, making it one of the oldest structures in California.) It is a potential mecca for those interested in Mexican heritage and American history, just like the Mission, which is prominent in the City's emblem. As has been seen by the fiight of people from downtown SLO due to the direct monetization of their visits via parking fees, offsetting revenue directly can create direct offsetting of quality of life perception. Where La Loma Adobe is concerned, I urge the City to continue its support for the long-range value of this irreplaceable monument to SLO's history by con tinuing to allot funding for its rehabilitation.

How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities? (listed in alphabetical order) While the City does have some external revenue sources that allow leadership to act like we're a "big city", we really are not a big city. We've spent the last few years drastically altering our primary transportation corridors, increasing utility prices (water, sewer, power), etc. to the detriment of everyday residents who want to enjoy the town we pay a ton to live in. The city should maximize access to downtown, which is a revenue generating hub for the City. Make it easier for residents to access our best restaurants for pick up, or visit our local small businesses. Every project downtown makes it harder, not easier, to access this area. You would argue back that increasing bike access is making accessing downtown easier. For the single, younger, non - parents... sure downtown may be easier to access. But for my wife and I to bring our kids? No, it's not easier at all. For those with physical ailments? No it's not easier at all. So many decisions made around mobility and access and transportation are for the childless and the (very) healthy. I ride my bike to work, but that's where it ends. The majority of the community has been negatively affected by these changes that make things "easier" for a select few, elite members of our community. Our roads are in poor condition. Have you been on Broad south of Orcutt? What about South Higuera near Industrial? It's awful. This is one of the primary functions of the City and we can't do it apparently. While the new bike lanes and crosswalks are beneflcial, the city should redirect funding towards projects that better serve the community's children and families. The current budget neglects the needs of San Luis Obispo's youth, lacking sufficient sports complexes and family-oriented activities that a city of this size and caliber should provide. Why all the bike lanes - leaving no place to park on the street, and having to flnd a garage to park in? Also, this has strained the street capacity for cars as lanes have been removed, especially downtown. why are there flscal constraints to begin with? The bureaucracies you keep creating are flscal suicide! Wind power. Harness it and reap the beneflts while leading the way with renewable energy. Don't underestimate the power of the vast beauty of nature, open spaces, stunning wild lands that SLO offers. People WANT to visit the central coast for these reasons and will bring in a strong economy if marketed right. People want to be with nature, eat farm fresh food, experience cultural experiences surrounding nature and will pay good money for it. With hundreds of new homes all paying about $800-1000 per month in taxes, plus the added sales taxes, we should have more than enough. Stop spending money on unnecessary bike lanes, weird crossing lights, and repeated/do -over road construction. Stop building the extra parking structure. Get volunteers to work on the new Laguna dog park... $1.5 million for some curbs, fencing and dirt seems like a lot.. people really just need fenced grass areas. Make the 10 hour meters free after 6pm, so the not-rich can spend time and money downtown too... increases sales tax. With people being so tight with their dollars, asking for more directly seems the least likely avenue. Seeking support from pools of capital elsewhere using the creative resources of City staff to win awards is about all I can think of.

(listed in alphabetical order) supported shifting of resources existing, which may be what we have to work with. Thank you for doing your best! Work in partnership with local nonproflt organizations to solve many of the above problems. Small grants to them can be leveraged with other grants to accomplish great goals. Larger issues, such as homelessness, should be dealt with in partnership with the County and the many nonproflts also dealing with this. It seems that so many entities are handling these issues in a silo. And as a result, there are multiple agencies trying to handle them and it may not be efficient. Hire one coordinator to bring multiple groups together to more efficiently solve these problems. Also, there is great value in having a central coordinator apply for regional grants [that solve these issues] and then bring in nonproflts to execute them through. The nonproflts are typically so engrossed in their work that they don't always have the freedom to look up and flnd larger, regional grants. Especially ones that require multiple agencies. But these funding sources can be executed through a variety of organizations. It will, however, need one central coordinator. Work on frivolous spending. Tearing down parking areas to build hotels and then complaining there's no parking and the building super expensive parking structures and raising parking downtown seems short sighted. Work on the existing goals, they are flne as is. Work with volunteer groups to pursue grant funding (additional revenue) and volunteerism for services such as care and maintenance of community spaces such as the La Loma park on Lizzie Street. Working on cheaper parking and ease of driving, that will encourage people to visit downtown and spend money Working with non-proflt organizations like SLO Climate Coalition that continue to promote climate action in SLO County. You can't do it all. Focus on the problems that have always been a problem. If we keep pushing away the priorities that have not been addressed yet and try to accomplish new priorities we are not making progress. One bite at a time. The Johnson project that was approved for the homeless shed's was not well thought out. There was grant money on the line and the city was not thinking about the community but rather the money. Adjacent to a residential neighborhood on top of a steep hill with children and schools nearby with zoning regulations thrown out the window to allow this to happen? As much as I would love to think this survey will be read and taken into consideration by the city, I feel like the city will do what they want regardless. The community was given a few days notice for a community meeting about the Welcome Home Village that most residents didn't even know was proposed. I would encourage the city to really engage with the community more and understand our concerns and hopes for this great city of San Luis Obispo so they can adjust and prioritize accordingly. You don't actually have to do anything. You just need to allow people to actually build their own homes easier, ADU and otherwise. The city could be PROACTIVE about it, without the extortion that always comes. If people actually care, they might go and ask some of the people who had to 'do something special' for the building department to be allowed to build. This is a NIMBY city and county, and the leaders, irregardless of party affiliation, still have the audacity wonder why so many are in a bad place. Were blocked from building our better place, but large projects like on Buckley are allowed. $799,000 starting is affordable for whom?

It is disgraceful how bad of a job the city does You received grants for dredging but did not do it. You should be flnding ways to cut unnecessary road projects, no more bike lanes. Page 84
