In general, when code enforcement receives a request for investigation, we determine any potential violation(s) regarding the information provided and perform an investigation to determine if a violation occurred. If there is evidence that a violation has occurred, a Notice of Violation is sent to the property owner advising of the identified violation(s) and describing how to come into compliance within the expected timeline in which compliance should be achieved. Barring any agreed upon alternate timeline, if, after the compliance deadline, the violation(s) still exist, or we can show that a repeat violation has occurred within 12 months, enforcement will escalate to the issuance of administrative citations. Technically, fines can be assessed for each violation, each day that the noted violation(s) occur. Each successive fine will increase until topping out at the third escalation of citation issued. The fine amounts vary depending on the violation, but in general they are $100 for the first, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third and beyond. In reality, individual cases receive consideration for their unique circumstances and the decision to move forward with additional fines is made on a case by case basis. Regarding enforcement of fraternities and sororities, we typically get two types of reported issues. Either there is a claim that an event has occurred at a specific location and the residence in question is acting as a fraternity/sorority without the appropriate land use approvals, or an existing, approved, fraternity/sorority has violated the terms of their use permit. For those without permits, we will cite for a land use violation when we can prove that an event occurred that was associated with a fraternity/sorority and request compliance immediately. Any repeated violations result in fines. For those with permits, any violation of the conditions within their use permit can result in fines and/or recommendation for use permit review by the planning commission which may result in modification or revocation of the use permit.

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Message submitted from the <City of San Luis Obispo, CA> website. Site Visitor Name: Hi. I’m not sure who to contact for this inquiry. In the last few weeks, there’s been a large AO Π set of letters on the roof of 313/315 Patricia Dr. That appears to be a sorority name, though the residents are all guys. I’m concerned that perhaps a sorority or fraternity is setting itself up at this property, which is being significantly enlarged. If that is what is happening, it seems incompatible with the R-1 zoning. I have no issue with student rentals (the current use) if the density is reasonable, as it has been, but fraternities and sororities go well beyond residential densities. Anyhow, whatever is going on there seems odd for the area. Thanks! 36 From:Shoresman, Michelle Sent:Wednesday, November 27, 2024 7:25 PM To:Sandra Rowley Subject:RE: Public Comment - I misspoke Hi Sandra, Thanks for the clarifications. I really appreciate your concerns. I want you to know that we have made loud and clear to staff that we would like to figure out how best to make St. Fratty’s Day “end.” Unfortunately, even though what you say might be true about how it started, it is still a “spontaneous,” unsanctioned event so it is hard to really stop without explicit messaging to the contrary and support from Cal Poly (which we are working on). As you likely know, fraternities, although affiliated with the university, are separate and national entities. To be honest, I even have trouble wrapping my head around and getting clarity on what Cal Poly’s true authority is over them. But, I am committed to pushing for clarity and accountability by all appropriate parties. I appreciate the constructive nature of your approach. I am not sure that prohibiting people on roofs is really the exact right approach. It might be better to have a more discretionary set of guidelines so as to give PD and others flexibility to enforce bad behaviors that we haven’t even thought of yet, rather than trying to be explicit about everything we disallow. But, I am open to continuing the discussion with you and staff to come up with the right balance in our approach. Thanks for the ongoing discussion. and that you and yours have a very nice Thanksgiving holiday.

Sorry for the confusion. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Sandra Rowley < To: Shoresman, Michelle <mshoresm@slocity.org> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2024 at 12:34:00 AM PST Subject: Re: Public Comment Hi Michelle, I was not expecting Council to discuss a roof ordinance, but I was hopeful that agendizing it would be discussed and staff would be directed to place it on an upcoming agenda in a timely manner. Getting on someone else's roof is a personal decision, not o ne that a tenant or a property owner has control over. Currently the only mention of getting on a roof being a violation is in conjunction with an unruly gathering. This can result in a citation being issued to a tenant of the property (including if the tenant was not a participant or tried to dissuade the roof climbers) - or, if this is a second or subsequent violation, also to the property owner. We were looking at it as an individual violation - a personal citation and fine. Yes, I'm aware that SCLC discusses St Fratty's Day during each meeting. However, so far I'm not confident that much will change. Cal Poly is understandably concerned about protecting their property, but they have not shown an equal level of concern for the disruption to nearby neighborhoods and damage done to private property therein. They forget that St Fratty's Day is not 37 St. Patrick's Day and that it was conceived by a fraternity member (president?) in order to circumvent the St. Pat double fine - at the time it was only a Safety Enhancement Zone for one day. Thanks for your kind thoughts; I passed them along. Happy Thanksgiving!

We put together the below response and I wanted to share it with you as we continue to work together on some of these issues. Here is the response: Answers to some of your questions can be found in Cal Poly’s AB 524 Report. This annual report is part of the requirements of California’s Campus-Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency Act, which requires an annual report be sent to the campus community with information about members and their conduct, including grade-point averages, community service hours and sanctioned events. The 2023-24 report includes a list of recognized fraternities and sororities, as well as the addresses of affiliated chapter houses. Since this report was published, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. joined the community in the fall. Cal Poly does not register or sanction fraternity or sorority houses. They are privately owned and operated. Fraternities and sororities are required to notify the university about their events off campus, which includes events with and without alcohol, at a residence or off-site facility (i.e. a restaurant, Vet’s Hall, etc.) In the notification process, Cal Poly reminds the event organizers about their obligations for safety; adherence to university policies and federal, state and local laws; and that they must also ensure they are in compliance with city ordinances around noise and zoning. Cal Poly does not approve or deny parties. Cal Poly does not submit fraternity/sorority events to cities where they take place, as the university is not the host of the events. The responsibility for items such as permits falls to the event hosts, as well as for any other stipulations outlined in their lease agreements, conditional use permits, or contracts with a venue they are utilizing. Where a fraternity or sorority holds events or parties varies by chapter and by year. When Cal Poly is notified of violations of the Student Code of Conduct or Recognized Student Organization Code of Conduct, it investigates such allegations. Where organizations might operate houses is a matter between the City of SLO and the property owners, residents and organizations. While the university has offered assistance in connecting city staff with the appropriate organization contacts to make progress on a resolution when concerns arise, the nature of these houses and the applicability of City restrictions is not within Cal Poly’s purview. 43 Student organization housing (which includes fraternities and sororities as well as other clubs and organizations) remains in the Cal Poly Master Plan, although the timeline is unknown at this time. Even with on-campus student organization housing, it is not realistic to expect all fraternity and sorority chapters, houses, or members to then live on campus. As new chapters continue to join the community, we do not expect to build a new house on campus for each organization. We also expect there are some organizations who are excited and willing to support an on-campus facility, and others who will not be ready to do so for a variety of reasons. Cal Poly is strongly committed to continued work with the City of San Luis Obispo to address issues of concern in the neighborhoods. As an active member of the community in which Cal Poly students, staff and faculty live and learn, the university is committed to being a good neighbor.

I wanted to introduce myself and ask for some assistance from Chico PD. I have been the Chief for San Luis Obispo for about four years now. I think SLO is a bit smaller than Chico, but similar to you, we have Cal Poly University San Luis Obispo. As I am sure you can relate, our college neighbor creates issues for law enforcement throughout the school year related to house parties, drinking, noise, and fraternity shenanigans.

I spoke with a reporter who had reached out to the City asking for an interview. She mostly had questions about our zoning regulations and code enforcement processes, which I shared with her. I pointed her to the recent staff reports that had been written on these issues for more information about pertinent regulations, etc. I talked about the importance of zoning regulations and enforcement in maintaining livable neighborhoods for all residents. I also told her that we have been working both internally between departments and externally with other stakeholders such as Cal Poly to better understand and address this issue and share information, as each stakeholder (Police, ComDev, Cal Poly) has different tools that can be used to both educate and enforce around the issue. She did ask about Cal Poly’s list of addresses that used to be posted for registered parties, and I talked about how that was a useful tool for us to use when determining if violations occurred when it was available. I stressed that this a complex issue and an issue that will require all parties to work together to attempt to address it.

We put together the below response and I wanted to share it with you as we continue to work together on some of these issues. Here is the response: Answers to some of your questions can be found in Cal Poly’s AB 524 Report. This annual report is part of the requirements of California’s Campus-Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency Act, which requires an annual report be sent to the campus community with information about members and their conduct, including grade-point averages, community service hours and sanctioned events. The 2023-24 report includes a list of recognized fraternities and sororities, as well as the addresses of affiliated chapter houses. Since this report was published, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. joined the community in the fall. Cal Poly does not register or sanction fraternity or sorority houses. They are privately owned and operated. Fraternities and sororities are required to notify the university about their events off campus, which includes events with and without alcohol, at a residence or off-site facility (i.e. a restaurant, Vet’s Hall, etc.) In the notification process, Cal Poly reminds the event organizers about their obligations for safety; adherence to university policies and federal, state and local laws; and that they must also ensure they are in compliance with city ordinances around noise and zoning. Cal Poly does not approve or deny parties. Cal Poly does not submit fraternity/sorority events to cities where they take place, as the university is not the host of the events. The responsibility for items such as permits falls to the event hosts, as well as for any other stipulations outlined in their lease agreements, conditional use permits, or contracts with a venue they are utilizing. Where a fraternity or sorority holds events or parties varies by chapter and by year. When Cal Poly is notified of violations of the Student Code of Conduct or Recognized Student Organization Code of Conduct, it investigates such allegations. Where organizations might operate houses is a matter between the City of SLO and the property owners, residents and organizations. While the university has offered assistance in connecting city staff with the appropriate organization contacts to make progress on a resolution when concerns arise, the nature of these houses and the applicability of City restrictions is not within Cal Poly’s purview. Student organization housing (which includes fraternities and sororities as well as other clubs and organizations) remains in the Cal Poly Master Plan, although the timeline is unknown at this time. Even with on-campus student organization housing, it is not realistic to expect all fraternity and sorority chapters, houses, or members to then live on campus. As new chapters continue to join the community, we do not expect to build a new house on campus for each organization. We also expect there are some organizations who are excited and willing to support an on-campus facility, and others who will not be ready to do so for a variety of reasons. Cal Poly is strongly committed to continued work with the City of San Luis Obispo to address issues of concern in the neighborhoods. As an active member of the community in which Cal Poly students, staff and faculty live and learn, the university is committed to being a good neighbor.

We also expect there are some organizations who are excited and willing to support an on-campus facility, and others who will not be ready to do so for a variety of reasons. Cal Poly is strongly committed to continued work with the City of San Luis Obispo to address issues of concern in the neighborhoods. As an active member of the community in which Cal Poly students, staff and faculty live and learn, the university is committed to being a good neighbor.

Sorry for the confusion. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Sandra Rowley < To: Shoresman, Michelle <mshoresm@slocity.org> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2024 at 12:34:00 AM PST Subject: Re: Public Comment Hi Michelle, I was not expecting Council to discuss a roof ordinance, but I was hopeful that agendizing it would be discussed and staff would be directed to place it on an upcoming agenda in a timely manner. Getting on someone else's roof is a personal decision, not o ne that a tenant or a property owner has control over. Currently the only mention of getting on a roof being a violation is in conjunction with an unruly gathering. This can result in a citation being issued to a tenant of the property (including if the tenant was not a participant or tried to dissuade the roof climbers) - or, if this is a second or subsequent violation, also to the property owner. We were looking at it as an individual violation - a personal citation and fine. Yes, I'm aware that SCLC discusses St Fratty's Day during each meeting. However, so far I'm not confident that much will change. Cal Poly is understandably concerned about protecting their property, but they have not shown an equal level of concern for the disruption to nearby neighborhoods and damage done to private property therein. They forget that St Fratty's Day is not St. Patrick's Day and that it was conceived by a fraternity member (president?) in order to circumvent the St. Pat double fine - at the time it was only a Safety Enhancement Zone for one day. Thanks for your kind thoughts; I passed them along. Happy Thanksgiving!

It was difficult to function for the first part of the week because I was exhausted from being kept awake all weekend by the noisy parties and roving people, screaming past our home. 71 Fraternities register their party locations with Cal Poly, including the number of guests they will have, and the parties are approved by the Greek Life administration beforehand. Cal Poly knows these parties are illegal in the neighborhoods but approves them anyway. Finally, I don't think the noise ordinance is understood by most people. Unfortunately, I've learned it since we are subjected to extreme noise, mostly from illegal fraternities. The noise ordinance is a 24/7 regulation. The exterior decibel limit prohibited during the day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. is only 5 decibels more than the noise level prohibited at night. Noise that measures 70 dBA is prohibited and isn't that loud. For clarification, I suggest you speak with the city attorney. SLOPD doesn't use decibel meters so it is impossible to know the exact sound level but common sense can be used, and when music can be heard a block away, that's an obvious violation.

I explained the strategy used by fraternities with multiple addresses on one APN, and how they game the system by cycling through each address to have a zero- fine DAC issued before it requires SLOPD response and a potential citation with a fine. The parties are held outside in a central courtyard so essentially, this property will likely get four DACs before it ever moves to a citation. As predicted, the address at 1275 Stafford received another DAC by shifting the address from unit B to unit A of the house. A screenshot of the relevant portion of my Noise Report 10/25- 10/26/2024 is below: Regarding the “Negative Violation” at 1229 Fredericks/Hathway Alley for a car wash with loud music - noted as calls #15 and #16 - this property is five doors down from our house. I called SLOPD for this at 12:58 pm and don’t know who called the second time. The car wash was blaring music, heard clearly inside our house, and guys were standing in the street on Fredericks and Kentucky holding signs, so people kept honking at them as they drove by. My husband was working nightshift and trying to sleep during the day because he had to leave for work at 7 p.m. for a 12-14 hour shift, and the noise made it impossible to rest. The noise ordinance is a 24/7 regulation. The exterior decibel limit prohibited during the day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. is only 5 decibels more than the noise level prohibited during nighttime from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. During the day, noise with music or speech measuring 70 dBA is prohibited according to a “noise standard” table in SLOMC 9.12.060. (I can’t believe I know this stuff and wish I never had to look it up to understand but have done so because of over-the-top disruptive noise in our neighborhood since the Fall of 2021.) I took a screenshot of Phi Gamma Delta’s Instagram post advertising the carwash (below). It happened and unfortunately was not cited. 72 From:Mezzapesa, John Sent:Monday, November 25, 2024 12:25 PM To:Tway, Timothea (Timmi) Subject:RE: cc Walker - Weekly noise report re: SLOPD response to fraternities Are you able to send the attachment that came with Kathie’s email?

I recently learned that some of Cal Poly's fraternities were placed on social probation due to alcohol violations, and prohibited from hosting events before the weekend of 11/7 - 11/10/2024. This was also mentioned during the SCLC meeting yesterday. Also, Lambda Chi Alpha recently received its 3rd citation since the beginning of this academic year, in violation of its CUP. A Mustang News reporter reached out to RQN two days ago about doing a story on fraternities in the neighborhood, and specifically said that "Lambda Chi Alpha is on a tight leash lately". They are likely not holding parties that could potentially prompt SLOPD response. Additionally, Alpha Epsilon Pi had a hearing at the Planning Commission for a re-review of its CUP on 11/13/2024, and the president of the fraternity said that they have turned over a new leaf and will not be hosting disruptive parties anymore. Therefore, I feel the combination of these factors contributed to the lack of noise on 11/7-11/10/2024. Also, it was Veteran's Day and some students may have left town. However, during the past weekend, 11/15 - 11/17/2024, one of the fraternities placed on social probation pending an investigation by Cal Poly, Phi Kappa Psi, did hold two noisy parties in our neighborhood at documented illegal fraternity houses. One was at 1276 Bond and one was at 1275 Stafford. Unfortunately, the fraternity members cited in the DACs were not honest about their school information or refused to answer the 73 SLOPD officer about what school they went to, lied about not having alcohol at the party, and did not provide an accurate number of people in attendance at the party. I have previously said that it's not great policy to rely on the host to tell the officer the number of people at the party, which is often way under the actual amount, and to rely on them to tell the officer if there is alcohol or not. That DAC or Citaiton becomes a permanent record with inaccurate information. Thank you, again, for your work in improving the situation and getting the illegal fraternities out of our neighborhood. -Kathie On Fri, Nov 22, 2024 at 11:35 AM Wilbanks, Megan <mwilbanks@slocity.org> wrote: BCC: Council All Kathie Walker, Thank you for providing your comments to City Council, they were provided directly to them.

Getting on someone else's roof is a personal decision, not o ne that a property owner has control over. Currently the only mention of getting on a roof being a violation is in conjunction with an unruly gathering - a property owner fine. We were looking at it as an individual violation - a personal fine. Yes, I'm aware that SCLC discusses St Fratty's Day during each meeting. However, so far I'm not confident that much will change. Cal Poly is understandably concerned about protecting their property, but they have not shown an equal level of concern for the disruption to nearby neighborhoods and damage done to private property therein. They forget that St Fratty's Day is not St. Patrick's Day and that it was conceived by a fraternity member (president?) in order to circumvent the St. Pat double fine - at the time it was only a Safety Enhancement Zone for one day. Thanks for your kind thoughts; I passed them along. Happy Thanksgiving!

I wanted to introduce myself and ask for some assistance from Chico PD. I have been the Chief for San Luis Obispo for about four years now. I think SLO is a bit smaller than Chico, but similar to you, we have Cal Poly University San Luis Obispo. As I am sure you can relate, our college neighbor creates issues for law enforcement throughout the school year related to house parties, drinking, noise, and fraternity shenanigans. However, one event is above all others and growing increasingly worrisome for the department and community. Each year around St. Patrick’s Day, the college (off campus) hold St. Fratty’s Day. The amorphous street party saw approximately 8000 participants from SLO and other college campuses from several states away. Over the years we’ve increased our efforts to stop is with little impact as it is now growing. In the past there have been riots and a roof collapse. As I research solutions, I continue to hear that the work done in Chico around Pioneer Days and other events is the standard for how to curb bad college behavior. My ask is that a small group from my team come to Chico for a few hours to discuss strategies and learn from your command personnel responsible for planning and executing the ops plans. If you are ok helping us out, I will be sending a Deputy Chief, Operations Lieutenant, and probably a Sergeant, and myself. Ideally, we would hope to come for a visit as soon as mid-December or later in January. Thank you, sir, for your consideration.

We are now proposing to make the December 10th item a discussion item so that we can provide a presentation to Council and the public regarding the proposed terms for the new franchise agreement, as well as the proposed rate adjustments. We will also seek direction from Council to have the Proposition 218 notices mailed out in early January, rather than our prior plan of early December. This will require a later public hearing date, and we will work with San Luis Garbage to find the preferred date in either February or March 2025. This will also provide us with more time to conduct outreach, including targeted outreach to the commercial customers that will, under the proposed new rates, now be required to pay for recycling service, as described in the memo that Aaron sent out late Wednesday (attached here for ease of reference). We are also happy to schedule individual or 2-2-1 meetings for you and Aaron’s team to discuss the details of the agreement and/or rate adjustments.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hi Whitney, Greg and Timmi, A local reporter reached out with a series of questions regarding fraternities and sororities. We put together the below response and I wanted to share it with you as we continue to work together on some of these issues. Here is the response: Answers to some of your questions can be found in Cal Poly’s AB 524 Report. This annual report is part of the requirements of California’s Campus-Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency Act, which requires an annual report be sent to the campus community with information about members and their conduct, including grade-point averages, community service hours and sanctioned events. The 2023-24 report includes a list of recognized fraternities and sororities, as well as the addresses of affiliated chapter houses. Since this report was published, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. joined the community in the fall. Cal Poly does not register or sanction fraternity or sorority houses. They are privately owned and operated. Fraternities and sororities are required to notify the university about their events off campus, which includes events with and without alcohol, at a residence or off-site facility (i.e. a restaurant, Vet’s Hall, etc.) In the notification process, Cal Poly reminds the event organizers about their obligations for safety; adherence to university policies and federal, state and local laws; and that they must also ensure they are in compliance with city ordinances around noise and zoning. Cal Poly does not approve or deny parties. Cal Poly does not submit fraternity/sorority events to cities where they take place, as the university is not the host of the events. The responsibility for items such as permits falls to the event hosts, as well as for any other stipulations outlined in their lease agreements, conditional use permits, or contracts with a venue they are utilizing. Where a fraternity or sorority holds events or parties varies by chapter and by year. When Cal Poly is notified of violations of the Student Code of Conduct or Recognized Student Organization Code of Conduct, it investigates such allegations. Where organizations might operate houses is a matter between the City of SLO and the property owners, residents and organizations. While the university has offered assistance in connecting city staff with the appropriate organization contacts to make progress on a resolution when concerns arise, the nature of these houses and the applicability of City restrictions is not within Cal Poly’s purview. Student organization housing (which includes fraternities and sororities as well as other clubs and organizations) remains in the Cal Poly Master Plan, although the timeline is unknown at this time. Even with on-campus student organization housing, it is not realistic to expect all fraternity and sorority chapters, houses, or members to then live on campus. As new chapters continue to join the community, we do not expect to build a new house on campus for each organization. We also expect there are some organizations who are excited and willing to support an on-campus facility, and others who will not be ready to do so for a variety of reasons. Cal Poly is strongly committed to continued work with the City of San Luis Obispo to address issues of concern in the neighborhoods. As an active member of the community in which Cal Poly students, staff and faculty live and learn, the university is committed to being a good neighbor. 2 Sincerely, Courtney Courtney Kienow pronouns she/hers (why is this important?)

I recently learned that some of Cal Poly's fraternities were placed on social probation due to alcohol violations, and prohibited from hosting events before the weekend of 11/7 - 11/10/2024. This was also mentioned during the SCLC meeting yesterday. Also, Lambda Chi Alpha recently received its 3rd citation since the beginning of this academic year, in violation of its CUP. A Mustang News reporter reached out to RQN two days ago about doing a story on fraternities in the neighborhood, and specifically said that "Lambda Chi Alpha is on a tight leash lately". They are likely not holding parties that could potentially prompt SLOPD response. Additionally, Alpha Epsilon Pi had a hearing at the Planning Commission for a re-review of its CUP on 11/13/2024, and the president of the fraternity said that they have turned over a new leaf and will not be hosting disruptive parties anymore. 116 Therefore, I feel the combination of these factors contributed to the lack of noise on 11/7- 11/10/2024. Also, it was Veteran's Day and some students may have left town. However, during the past weekend, 11/15 - 11/17/2024, one of the fraternities placed on social probation pending an investigation by Cal Poly, Phi Kappa Psi, did hold two noisy parties in our neighborhood at documented illegal fraternity houses. One was at 1276 Bond and one was at 1275 Stafford. Unfortunately, the fraternity members cited in the DACs were not honest about their school information or refused to answer the SLOPD officer about what school they went to, lied about not having alcohol at the party, and did not provide an accurate number of people in attendance at the party. I have previously said that it's not great policy to rely on the host to tell the officer the number of people at the party, which is often way under the actual amount, and to rely on them to tell the officer if there is alcohol or not. That DAC or Citaiton becomes a permanent record with inaccurate information. Thank you, again, for your work in improving the situation and getting the illegal fraternities out of our neighborhood. -Kathie On Fri, Nov 22, 2024 at 11:35 AM Wilbanks, Megan <mwilbanks@slocity.org> wrote: BCC: Council All Kathie Walker, Thank you for providing your comments to City Council, they were provided directly to them.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. I have attached my weekly fraternity noise report for last weekend, 11/14 - 11/16/2024. There were sixteen (16) noise calls for fraternities and fifteen (15) were at documented illegal fraternity houses. The noise kept me awake every night and it was beyond frustrating. It was difficult to function for the first part of the week because I was exhausted from being kept awake all weekend by the noisy parties and roving people, screaming past our home. Fraternities register their party locations with Cal Poly, including the number of guests they will have, and the parties are approved by the Greek Life administration beforehand. Cal Poly knows these parties are illegal in the neighborhoods but approves them anyway. Finally, I don't think the noise ordinance is understood by most people. Unfortunately, I've learned it since we are subjected to extreme noise, mostly from illegal fraternities. The noise ordinance is a 24/7 regulation. The exterior decibel limit prohibited during the day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. is only 5 decibels more than the noise level prohibited at night. Noise that measures 70 dBA is prohibited and isn't that loud. For clarification, I suggest you speak with the city attorney. SLOPD doesn't use decibel meters so it is impossible to know the exact sound level but common sense can be used, and when music can be heard a block away, that's an obvious violation. 118 Thank you, Kathie 119 From:Armas, Sara Sent:Friday, November 22, 2024 3:09 PM To:Wooten, Eric Subject:RE: Public Records Request – PRR24328 Dittenber - Records Regarding Fraternities January 2022 to Current It was discussed in the City Clerks Association of California webinar I just participated in, and they were insistent on that determination responses be provided before the weekend date.

Just checking to see if there will be any responsive records that I can produce to this requestor? I do see that some documents have been uploaded to the SharePoint folder, so checking to see if I can produce a batch and maybe give an ETA for the next response. I just got recent clarification that if determination is on Sunday then I should be sending out my determination responses the Friday before instead of the Monday after, so apologies if I was providing inaccurate response dates.

I recently learned that some of Cal Poly's fraternities were placed on social probation due to alcohol violations, and prohibited from hosting events before the weekend of 11/7 - 11/10/2024. This was also mentioned during the SCLC meeting yesterday. Also, Lambda Chi Alpha recently received its 3rd citation since the beginning of this academic year, in violation of its CUP. A Mustang News reporter reached out to RQN two days ago about doing a story on fraternities in the neighborhood, and specifically said that "Lambda Chi Alpha is on a tight leash lately". They are likely not holding parties that could potentially prompt SLOPD response. Additionally, Alpha Epsilon Pi had a hearing at the Planning Commission for a re-review of its CUP on 11/13/2024, and the president of the fraternity said that they have turned over a new leaf and will not be hosting disruptive parties anymore. Therefore, I feel the combination of these factors contributed to the lack of noise on 11/7-11/10/2024. Also, it was Veteran's Day and some students may have left town. However, during the past weekend, 11/15 - 11/17/2024, one of the fraternities placed on social probation pending an investigation by Cal Poly, Phi Kappa Psi, did hold two noisy parties in our neighborhood at documented illegal fraternity houses. One was at 1276 Bond and one was at 1275 Stafford. Unfortunately, the fraternity members cited in the DACs were not honest about their school information or refused to answer the SLOPD officer about what school they went to, lied about not having alcohol at the party, and did not provide an accurate number of people in attendance at the party. I have previously said that it's not great policy to rely on the host to tell the officer the number of people at the party, which is often way under the actual amount, and to rely on them to tell the officer if there is alcohol or not. That DAC or Citaiton becomes a permanent record with inaccurate information. Thank you, again, for your work in improving the situation and getting the illegal fraternities out of our neighborhood. 129 -Kathie On Fri, Nov 22, 2024 at 11:35 AM Wilbanks, Megan <mwilbanks@slocity.org> wrote: BCC: Council All Kathie Walker, Thank you for providing your comments to City Council, they were provided directly to them.

I explained the strategy used by fraternities with multiple addresses on one APN, and how they game the system by cycling through each address to have a zero- fine DAC issued before it requires SLOPD response and a potential citation with a fine. The parties are held outside in a central courtyard so essentially, this property will likely get four DACs before it ever moves to a citation. As predicted, the address at 1275 Stafford received another DAC by shifting the address from unit B to unit A of the house. A screenshot of the relevant portion of my Noise Report 10/25- 10/26/2024 is below: Regarding the “Negative Violation” at 1229 Fredericks/Hathway Alley for a car wash with loud music - noted as calls #15 and #16 - this property is five doors down from our house. I called SLOPD for this at 12:58 pm and don’t know who called the second time. The car wash was blaring music, heard clearly inside our house, and guys were standing in the street on Fredericks and Kentucky holding signs, so people kept honking at them as they drove by. My husband was working nightshift and trying to sleep during the day because he had to leave for work at 7 p.m. for a 12-14 hour shift, and the noise made it impossible to rest. The noise ordinance is a 24/7 regulation. The exterior decibel limit prohibited during the day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. is only 5 decibels more than the noise level prohibited during nighttime from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. During the day, noise with music or speech measuring 70 dBA is prohibited according to a “noise standard” table in SLOMC 9.12.060. (I can’t believe I know this stuff and wish I never had to look it up to understand but have done so because of over-the-top disruptive noise in our neighborhood since the Fall of 2021.) I took a screenshot of Phi Gamma Delta’s Instagram post advertising the carwash (below). It happened and unfortunately was not cited. 136 From:kathie walker < Sent:Friday, November 22, 2024 11:06 AM To:E-mail Council Website Cc:Sandra Rowley; Carolyn Smith; Brett Cross; Stewjenkins Info; Mila Vujovich-LaBarre Subject:Weekly noise report re: SLOPD response to fraternities Attachments:SLOPD noise to frats 11.14 - 11.16.2024.pdf This message is from an External Source.

The exterior decibel limit prohibited during the day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. is only 5 decibels more than the noise level prohibited during nighttime from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. During the day, noise with music or speech measuring 70 dBA is prohibited according to a “noise standard” table in SLOMC 9.12.060. (I can’t believe I know this stuff and wish I never had to look it up to understand but have done so because of over-the-top disruptive noise in our neighborhood since the Fall of 2021.) I took a screenshot of Phi Gamma Delta’s Instagram post advertising the carwash (below). It happened and unfortunately was not cited. 138 From:Zion, Sarah Sent:Thursday, November 21, 2024 3:58 PM To:Hanh, Hannah; Corey, Tyler Subject:RE: Scheduling Meeting re Fraternities Hi Hannah, Thank you for letting me know.

I shared the following main points:  Explained the basics of zoning regulations in the code for Fraternities/Sororities as well as noise regulations, and unruly gatherings  Explained the basics surrounding enforcement of the municipal code through code enforcement  Discussed the ways in which we are attempting to educate and enforce to address the issue  Discussed the purpose of code regulations and enforcement to maintain neighborhoods that are livable and enjoyable for all community members  Discussed the importance of all stakeholders working together and coming to the table to help address the issue of illegal fraternities/sororities and CUP violations including our internal team as well as external partners like Cal Poly. I highlighted some of the positive ways in which code enforcement and PD are working together on education and enforcement. The reporter did not have an estimated date for release of the story, if I hear more, I will let you know. Please let me know if you have questions, Thank you!

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hi Whitney, Greg and Timmi, A local reporter reached out with a series of questions regarding fraternities and sororities. We put together the below response and I wanted to share it with you as we continue to work together on some of these issues. Here is the response: Answers to some of your questions can be found in Cal Poly’s AB 524 Report. This annual report is part of the requirements of California’s Campus-Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency Act, which requires an annual report be sent to the campus community with information about members and their conduct, including grade-point averages, community service hours and sanctioned events. The 2023-24 report includes a list of recognized fraternities and sororities, as well as the addresses of affiliated chapter houses. Since this report was published, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. joined the community in the fall. Cal Poly does not register or sanction fraternity or sorority houses. They are privately owned and operated. Fraternities and sororities are required to notify the university about their events off campus, which includes events with and without alcohol, at a residence or off-site facility (i.e. a restaurant, Vet’s Hall, etc.) In the notification process, Cal Poly reminds the event organizers about their obligations for safety; adherence to university policies and federal, state and local laws; and that they must also ensure they are in compliance with city ordinances around noise and zoning. Cal Poly does not approve or deny parties. Cal Poly does not submit fraternity/sorority events to cities where they take place, as the university is not the host of the events. The responsibility for items such as permits falls to the event hosts, as well as for any other stipulations outlined in their lease agreements, conditional use permits, or contracts with a venue they are utilizing. Where a fraternity or sorority holds events or parties varies by chapter and by year. When Cal Poly is notified of violations of the Student Code of Conduct or Recognized Student Organization Code of Conduct, it investigates such allegations. Where organizations might operate houses is a matter between the City of SLO and the property owners, residents and organizations. While the university has offered assistance in connecting city staff with the appropriate organization contacts to make progress on a resolution when concerns arise, the nature of these houses and the applicability of City restrictions is not within Cal Poly’s purview. Student organization housing (which includes fraternities and sororities as well as other clubs and organizations) remains in the Cal Poly Master Plan, although the timeline is unknown at this time. Even with on-campus student organization housing, it is not realistic to expect all fraternity and sorority chapters, houses, or members to then live on campus. As new chapters continue to join the community, we do not expect to build a new house on campus for each organization. We also expect there are some organizations who are excited and willing to support an on-campus facility, and others who will not be ready to do so for a variety of reasons. Cal Poly is strongly committed to continued work with the City of San Luis Obispo to address issues of concern in the neighborhoods. As an active member of the community in which Cal Poly students, staff and faculty live and learn, the university is committed to being a good neighbor. 142 Sincerely, Courtney Courtney Kienow pronouns she/hers (why is this important?)

Adjournment - Meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m. Memorandum TO: SCLC Voting Members DATE: November 21st, 2024 FROM: Lucia Landeros & Roy Murphy (Cuesta College) COPIES: T. Watson SUBJECT: Proposal for up to $575 to fund SCLC outreach and engagement strategies. PROPOSAL: • To seek $200 in funding for the purchase of the survey incentive. • To seek $375 in funding for the payment of Good Morning SLO fees. o $225 “Soapbox” fee (presentation) ▪ Physical and digital e-flyer distribution permission. o $150 – Non-member fees (five additional SCLC members to attend) ▪ 1 table included for free, per Michelle Axberg. RATIONALE: As members of SCLC, we are tasked with bringing forth ideas and projects that enhance community and student relations. The investments outlined above will help us better understand actionable strategies we can implement while simultaneously expanding our membership. BACKGROUND & DETAILS: On the fourth Thursday of every month, nearly 200 local business and community leaders come together to join Good Morning SLO, a networking breakfast . Good Morning SLO serves as a platform for community leaders, business owners, and non -profit executives to engage and learn from one another. One of SCLC’s goals is to promote positive relations and improve the quality of life for all citizens of San Luis Obispo. Similarly, Good Morning SLO provides a forum for community activities that can enhance our community as a whole. Here are some examples of past presentations given at Good Morning SLO. SCLC representatives, including student leadership, will attend Good Morning SLO on January 23rd, 2025. While networking, SCLC representatives will share information about SCLC, and our goal of enhancing student and community relations. SCLC representatives will share a flier with a QR code that will link to a survey (draft included below): The Student Community Liaison Committee (SCLC) is comprised of members from Cal Poly, Cuesta College, the City and County of San Luis Obispo, and community organizations. The mission of SCLC is to proactively engage in discussions to promote positive relations, mutual respect, and improved quality of life for all citizens of San Luis Obispo. SCLC wants to hear from you! 1. What key issues should be addressed to improve relations between college students and community members in our area? 2. Please check this box (a checkbox will be added to the survey ) if you are interested in learning more about joining SCLC. RECOMMENDATIONS: • Approve the survey to be distributed at Good Morning SLO and shared on SCLC member social media accounts. • Approve expenditures of $200 to acquire Apple AirPods 4 as the survey incentive and $375 in Good Morning SLO fees. IMPACT: SCLC has a current available funding balance of $11,760 • This proposed expenditure, if approved, would result in an available funding balance of $11,185. COMMUNICATION PLAN: The ASI Marketing team will lead the development of the flier, in partnership with the subcommittee led by Cuesta College. SCLC member social media accounts will be leveraged to share promotional materials and the survey link, including but not limited to: ASI, City of SLO, Cuesta College and SLOPD. A respondent will be chosen at random as the incentive winner. 156 From:Mezzapesa, John Sent:Thursday, November 21, 2024 12:09 PM To:Zion, Sarah Subject:RE: Scheduling Meeting re Fraternities That date and time works for me.

I wanted to make good on my pending request to kindly ask for your help. As I am sure you can relate, our college neighbor (Cal Poly) is creating issues for law enforcement throughout the school year related to house parties, drinking, noise, and fraternity shenanigans. However, one event is above all others and growing increasingly worrisome for the department and community. As I am sure you are aware, each year around St. Patrick’s Day, the college (off campus) hold St. Fratty’s Day. The amorphous street party saw approximately 8000 participants from SLO and other college campuses including UCSB and from even several states away. Over the years we’ve increased our efforts to stop is with little impact as it is now growing. In the past there have been riots and a roof collapse. As I research solutions, I continue to hear that the work done at UCSB and Isle Vista around Deltopia and other events is the standard for how to curb bad college behavior. My ask is that a small group from my team come to UCSB for a few hours to discuss strategies and learn from your command personnel responsible for planning and executing the ops plans. My hope is to also loop in both SBPD or the SO as I know they play a big role in the collaborative enforcement effort. If you are ok helping us out, I will be sending a Deputy Chief, Operations Lieutenant, and probably a Sergeant, and myself. Ideally, we would hope to come for a visit as soon as mid-December or later in January. Thank you, Alex, Kelly, and Bill for you thoughtful consideration.

I wanted to introduce myself and ask for some assistance from Chico PD. I have been the Chief for San Luis Obispo for about four years now.

Between now and 12/17, our schedule is pretty tight due to our last push to get ready for our accreditation on-site. Sometime after that would work better for us, but if you would like to meet sooner, please let us know. Thanks!

I wanted to make good on my pending request to kindly ask for your help. As I am sure you can relate, our college neighbor (Cal Poly) is creating issues for law enforcement throughout the school year related to house parties, drinking, noise, and fraternity shenanigans. However, one event is above all others and growing increasingly worrisome for the department and community. As I am sure you are aware, each year around St. Patrick’s Day, the college (off campus) hold St. Fratty’s Day. The amorphous street party saw approximately 8000 participants from SLO and other college campuses including UCSB and from even several states away. Over the years we’ve increased our efforts to stop is with little impact as it is now growing. In the past there have been riots and a roof collapse. As I research solutions, I continue to hear that the work done at UCSB and Isle Vista around Deltopia and other events is the standard for how to curb bad college behavior. My ask is that a small group from my team come to UCSB for a few hours to discuss strategies and learn from your command personnel responsible for planning and executing the ops plans. My hope is to also loop in both SBPD or the SO as I know they play a big role in the collaborative enforcement effort. If you are ok helping us out, I will be sending a Deputy Chief, Operations Lieutenant, and probably a Sergeant, and myself. Ideally, we would hope to come for a visit as soon as mid-December or later in January. 211 Thank you, Alex, Kelly, and Bill for you thoughtful consideration.

He shared plans for mitigating Halloween incidents including a no-guest policy in University Housing, Safety Enhancement Zone period, on campus events, and specific messaging. b. The St. Patrick’s Day Working Group is focusing on the acts of violence in University Housing and various locations on campus. An internal working group was formed including Student Affairs, Public Safety, University Housing, and ASI student leaders to address the behavior and make recommendations to campus administration on how to mitigate the vandalism. The group has since expanded to include a city representative, Chief Scott, to consider off- campus behavior as well. Further discussion will include additional recommendations brought forward from the various areas and the financial, physical, and personal resources needed to implement them. c. Members reiterated the importance of messaging on how these events impact neighbors. Continuing to work together will help mitigate past incidents. D. Discussion: Outreach/Engagement – Roy Murphy a. Roy Murphy introduced himself as the SCLC Student-at-Large. He shared ideas for more student engagement to engage with the community in student efforts on and off campus. Potentially having student representatives at Farmers Market, providing giveaways to build relationships with the community.

Adjournment - Meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m. Memorandum TO: SCLC Voting Members DATE: November 21st, 2024 FROM: Lucia Landeros & Roy Murphy (Cuesta College) COPIES: T. Watson SUBJECT: Proposal for up to $575 to fund SCLC outreach and engagement strategies. PROPOSAL: • To seek $200 in funding for the purchase of the survey incentive. • To seek $375 in funding for the payment of Good Morning SLO fees. o $225 “Soapbox” fee (presentation) ▪ Physical and digital e-flyer distribution permission. o $150 – Non-member fees (five additional SCLC members to attend) ▪ 1 table included for free, per Michelle Axberg. RATIONALE: As members of SCLC, we are tasked with bringing forth ideas and projects that enhance community and student relations. The investments outlined above will help us better understand actionable strategies we can implement while simultaneously expanding our membership. BACKGROUND & DETAILS: On the fourth Thursday of every month, nearly 200 local business and community leaders come together to join Good Morning SLO, a networking breakfast . Good Morning SLO serves as a platform for community leaders, business owners, and non -profit executives to engage and learn from one another. One of SCLC’s goals is to promote positive relations and improve the quality of life for all citizens of San Luis Obispo. Similarly, Good Morning SLO provides a forum for community activities that can enhance our community as a whole. Here are some examples of past presentations given at Good Morning SLO. SCLC representatives, including student leadership, will attend Good Morning SLO on January 23rd, 2025. While networking, SCLC representatives will share information about SCLC, and our goal of enhancing student and community relations. SCLC representatives will share a flier with a QR code that will link to a survey (draft included below): The Student Community Liaison Committee (SCLC) is comprised of members from Cal Poly, Cuesta College, the City and County of San Luis Obispo, and community organizations. The mission of SCLC is to proactively engage in discussions to promote positive relations, mutual respect, and improved quality of life for all citizens of San Luis Obispo.

I wanted to make good on my pending request to kindly ask for your help. As I am sure you can relate, our college neighbor (Cal Poly) is creating issues for law enforcement throughout the school year related to house parties, drinking, noise, and fraternity shenanigans. However, one event is above all others and growing increasingly worrisome for the department and community. As I am sure you are aware, each year around St. Patrick’s Day, the college (off campus) hold St. Fratty’s Day. The amorphous street party saw approximately 8000 participants from SLO and other college campuses including UCSB and from even several states away. Over the years we’ve increased our efforts to stop is with little impact as it is now growing. In the past there have been riots and a roof collapse. As I research solutions, I continue to hear that the work done at UCSB and Isle Vista around Deltopia and other events is the standard for how to curb bad college behavior. My ask is that a small group from my team come to UCSB for a few hours to discuss strategies and learn from your command personnel responsible for planning and executing the ops plans. My hope is to also loop in both SBPD or the SO as I know they play a big role in the collaborative enforcement effort. If you are ok helping us out, I will be sending a Deputy Chief, Operations Lieutenant, and probably a Sergeant, and myself. Ideally, we would hope to come for a visit as soon as mid-December or later in January. Thank you, Alex, Kelly, and Bill for you thoughtful consideration.

I appreciate his apology, and I trust he’ll be here at 1:15. What I’m finding is that this is becoming the norm for students and it’s becoming more difficult for me and my colleagues to honor their requests. We know the value of the assignments and we take very seriously how our interaction with students can help shape how they perceive and interact with law enforcement and public safety.

PC-1092-24 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO APPROVING MODIFICATIONS TO AN EXISTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CONTINUATION OF THE FRATERNITY AT 280 CALIFORNIA BOULEVARD. THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER SECTION 15301 (EXISTING FACILITIES) OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) GUIDELINES AS REPRESENTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND ATTACHMENTS DATED NOVEMBER 13, 2024 (USE- 0625-2024) WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, on August 2, 1983, to review an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of a Use Permit to allow a fraternity at 280 California Boulevard, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under U1099; Alpha Epsilon Pi, applicant; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo denied the appeal and upheld the Planning Commission’s approval of the Use Permit, U1099, on August 2, 1983, after duly considering all evidence, including testimony of the applicant and general public and evaluation, and recommendations by staff presented at said hearing; and WHEREAS, the City received complaints and issued citations for multiple, verified noise violations in 2023 and 2024; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, on November 13, 2024, for a re-review of the existing Conditional Use Permit to allow the continuation of the fraternity at 280 California Boulevard, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under USE- 0625-2024; Alpha Epsilon Pi, applicant; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo approved modifications to the Conditional Use Permit, USE-0625-2024, after duly considering all evidence, including the documented noise violations, testimony of the applicant and general public, and evaluation and recommendations by staff presented at said hearing; and WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings were made at the time and in the manner required by law; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: Resolution No. PC-1092-24 Page 2 280 California Blvd., USE-0625-2024 SECTION 1. Findings. The Planning Commission hereby approves modifications to the Conditional Use Permit to allow the continuation of the fraternity (USE-0625-2024), based on the following revised findings: Conditional Use Permit / Fraternity Use 1. The project is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed fraternity is an allowable use as dense group housing in the High Density Residential (HDR) land use designation. In addition, the project would facilitate Land Use Element Policy 2.6.5 and Housing Element Policy 8.6 by locating a fraternity in proximity to the Cal Poly SLO campus and other student-oriented uses and housing. 2. The proposed fraternity is conditionally allowed within the High-Density Residential (R-4) zone. As conditioned, the project complies with applicable provisions of the Zoning Regulations because (a) the maximum number of 19 residents complies with the group housing maximum occupancy limits and (b) the revised parking configuration would provide 19 required spaces for 19 residents and comply with the City’s Parking and Driveway Standards to improve the property. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the project will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity because the proposed fraternity would (a) be established in proximity to other dense group housing (i.e., other fraternities, sororities, multi-family, etc.), (b) located within walking distance (i.e., within 0.3-mile) of the Cal Poly campus, and (c) utilize an existing developed property with minor site improvements (i.e., parking and landscaping improvements). 4. The site is physically suitable in terms of (a) its design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics of the project; (b) traffic generation and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access; (c) public protection services (e.g., fire protection, police protection, etc.); and (d) the provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.). The project is surrounded by other developed properties with compatible dense housing uses, has access to the City’s circulation system, and would be served by City utilities. The project utilizes an existing developed property and does not include activities that would generate service or utility demands beyond those anticipated with uses permitted in the vicinity. 5. As conditioned, the project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of persons living or working at the site or in the vicinity because conditions have been included that place limits on the number of persons allowed on site, restrict activities, provide adequate parking, and limit potential disturbances to neighboring properties. The project will be compatible with the existing site constraints and the character of the neighborhood. Resolution No. PC-1092-24 Page 3 280 California Blvd., USE-0625-2024 6. As conditioned, the establishment and subsequent operation or conduct of the project will not, because of the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general public or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the use because the project includes conditions that (a) place limits on the number of persons allowed on site, (b) restrict activities, (c) provide adequate parking, and (d) limit potential disturbances to neighboring properties. The project would be compatible with the existing site constraints and the character of the neighborhood. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it includes the continued operation and permitting of an existing residential use (i.e., fraternity) with revised findings and conditions of approval. The project does not include construction of a new building or additional building square footage. Therefore, the project involves no expansion of the existing residential use. SECTION 3. Action. The Planning Commission hereby approves modifications to the Conditional Use Permit to allow the continuation of the fraternity (USE-0625-2024), based on the following revised conditions: Planning Division – Community Development Department 1. The Conditional Use Permit shall be reviewed by the Community Development Director for compliance with the conditions of approval, or to determine whether a modification of the Conditional Use Permit is necessary upon significant change to the project as represented in the Staff Report dated November 13, 2024, or in the event of a change in ownership which may result in deviation from the project description or approved plans. 2. The Conditional Use Permit shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission as soon as practical if: 1) conduct on the permitted premises results in three (3) citations within any 12-month period for a violation of law or permit condition, 2) that citation is not contested or is upheld on appeal, and 3) the conduct for which the citation was issued resulted in adverse impacts to, or complaints from, residents or occupants of the surrounding neighborhood. At the time of the Conditional Use Permit review, to ensure ongoing compatibility with nearby uses, the conditions of approval may be added, modified, and/or removed, or the Conditional Use Permit may be revoked. The City shall notify Cal Poly if the Use Permit is revoked. A re-review by the Planning Commission shall be accompanied by the appropriate fee. 3. The fraternity shall be limited to a maximum of 19 residents for the property. The property owner shall allow the City to verify the maximum occupancy by allowing an inspection of records or visual inspection of the premises. Any inspection shall be scheduled at a reasonable time with at least 24-hour notice to the residents. Resolution No. PC-1092-24 Page 4 280 California Blvd., USE-0625-2024 4. Routine meetings and gatherings for the fraternity shall be limited to a maximum of 25 people (rounded up from 24.75 = 16.5 people x 1.5), except as otherwise approved by the Community Development Director for special events. If the fraternity hosts special events involving more than 25 people, a transportation management plan to reduce impacts to the surrounding neighborhood shall be submitted to the Community Development Department, at least 30 days prior to the event taking place, for review and approval. No exception from the Noise Ordinance shall be approved by the Director as part of the special event. 5. For the life of the organization, the fraternity shall remain affiliated and in good standing with the Interfraternity Council of Student Life and Leadership at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. If the fraternity becomes unaffiliated or is no longer in good standing, the Conditional Use Permit shall be revoked. 6. For the life of the organization, the fraternity shall provide the name and contact information (i.e., phone number and email address) of all responsible parties to the Community Development Department and Neighborhood Services Manager of the Police Department on an annual basis. If there is a change to the name and/or contact information of any responsible parties, the Community Development Department and Neighborhood Services Manager shall be notified immediately. 7. For the life of the organization, the property shall be maintained in a clean and orderly manner. All landscaping shall be replaced as necessary and maintained (e.g., trimmed, pruned, etc.) to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. 8. A minimum of 19 parking spaces shall be provided and maintained at all times. These spaces shall remain available to residents of the fraternity and not designated for any individuals not residing on the property. 9. The fraternity use shall comply with Table 1 (Exterior Noise Limits) of Section 9.12.060 (Exterior Noise Limits) between the extended hours of 10:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. 10. Prior to a special event approved by the Community Development Director pursuant to Condition No. 4, the fraternity shall provide written notification of the event to occupants within 300 feet of the site. The written notification shall include the date, hours, and contact information for the responsible party for the special event. No exception from the Noise Ordinance shall be approved by the Director as part of the special event. 11. Live entertainment, bands, and/or amplified sounds are prohibited, unless otherwise approved through a special event by the Community Development Department. No exception from the Noise Ordinance shall be approved by the Resolution No. PC-1092-24 Page 5 280 California Blvd., USE-0625-2024 Director as part of the special event. 12. Failure to comply with any of the above conditions or code requirements, or the conduct of the use so as to constitute a violation of Federal, State, or local law, or so as to constitute a public nuisance or so as to cause adverse impacts on the health, safety, or welfare of persons in the vicinity of this use is prohibited and may constitute grounds for the revocation of this permit. 13. Within 60 days of the re-review hearing with the Planning Commission on November 13, 2024, the fraternity shall install a minimum of 19 bicycle spaces (one space for each resident) and contact the City for a follow-up inspection to verify that all required bicycle spaces have been installed. Indemnification 14. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and/or its agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against the City and/or its agents, officers, or employees to attack, set aside, void or annul, the approval by the City of this project, and all actions relating thereto, including but not limited to environmental review (“Indemnified Claims”). The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any Indemnified Claim upon being presented with the Indemnified Claim and the City shall fully cooperate in the defense against an Indemnified Claim.

I wanted to reach out because I’ve been assigned an enterprise story for my news reporting and writing class, and the topic I chose was how the police patrol and manage the Greek-life parties during the weekends.

PC-1092-24 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO APPROVING MODIFICATIONS TO AN EXISTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CONTINUATION OF THE FRATERNITY AT 280 CALIFORNIA BOULEVARD. THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER SECTION 15301 (EXISTING FACILITIES) OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) GUIDELINES AS REPRESENTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND ATTACHMENTS DATED NOVEMBER 13, 2024 (USE- 0625-2024) WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, on August 2, 1983, to review an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of a Use Permit to allow a fraternity at 280 California Boulevard, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under U1099; Alpha Epsilon Pi, applicant; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo denied the appeal and upheld the Planning Commission’s approval of the Use Permit, U1099, on August 2, 1983, after duly considering all evidence, including testimony of the applicant and general public and evaluation, and recommendations by staff presented at said hearing; and WHEREAS, the City received complaints and issued citations for multiple, verified noise violations in 2023 and 2024; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, on November 13, 2024, for a re-review of the existing Conditional Use Permit to allow the continuation of the fraternity at 280 California Boulevard, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under USE- 0625-2024; Alpha Epsilon Pi, applicant; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo approved modifications to the Conditional Use Permit, USE-0625-2024, after duly considering all evidence, including the documented noise violations, testimony of the applicant and general public, and evaluation and recommendations by staff presented at said hearing; and WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings were made at the time and in the manner required by law; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: Resolution No. PC-1092-24 Page 2 280 California Blvd., USE-0625-2024 SECTION 1. Findings. The Planning Commission hereby approves modifications to the Conditional Use Permit to allow the continuation of the fraternity (USE-0625-2024), based on the following revised findings: Conditional Use Permit / Fraternity Use 1. The project is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed fraternity is an allowable use as dense group housing in the High Density Residential (HDR) land use designation. In addition, the project would facilitate Land Use Element Policy 2.6.5 and Housing Element Policy 8.6 by locating a fraternity in proximity to the Cal Poly SLO campus and other student-oriented uses and housing. 2. The proposed fraternity is conditionally allowed within the High-Density Residential (R-4) zone. As conditioned, the project complies with applicable provisions of the Zoning Regulations because (a) the maximum number of 19 residents complies with the group housing maximum occupancy limits and (b) the revised parking configuration would provide 19 required spaces for 19 residents and comply with the City’s Parking and Driveway Standards to improve the property. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the project will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity because the proposed fraternity would (a) be established in proximity to other dense group housing (i.e., other fraternities, sororities, multi-family, etc.), (b) located within walking distance (i.e., within 0.3-mile) of the Cal Poly campus, and (c) utilize an existing developed property with minor site improvements (i.e., parking and landscaping improvements). 4. The site is physically suitable in terms of (a) its design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics of the project; (b) traffic generation and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access; (c) public protection services (e.g., fire protection, police protection, etc.); and (d) the provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.). The project is surrounded by other developed properties with compatible dense housing uses, has access to the City’s circulation system, and would be served by City utilities. The project utilizes an existing developed property and does not include activities that would generate service or utility demands beyond those anticipated with uses permitted in the vicinity. 5. As conditioned, the project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of persons living or working at the site or in the vicinity because conditions have been included that place limits on the number of persons allowed on site, restrict activities, provide adequate parking, and limit potential disturbances to neighboring properties. The project will be compatible with the existing site constraints and the character of the neighborhood. Resolution No. PC-1092-24 Page 3 280 California Blvd., USE-0625-2024 6. As conditioned, the establishment and subsequent operation or conduct of the project will not, because of the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general public or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the use because the project includes conditions that (a) place limits on the number of persons allowed on site, (b) restrict activities, (c) provide adequate parking, and (d) limit potential disturbances to neighboring properties. The project would be compatible with the existing site constraints and the character of the neighborhood. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it includes the continued operation and permitting of an existing residential use (i.e., fraternity) with revised findings and conditions of approval. The project does not include construction of a new building or additional building square footage. Therefore, the project involves no expansion of the existing residential use. SECTION 3. Action. The Planning Commission hereby approves modifications to the Conditional Use Permit to allow the continuation of the fraternity (USE-0625-2024), based on the following revised conditions: Planning Division – Community Development Department 1. The Conditional Use Permit shall be reviewed by the Community Development Director for compliance with the conditions of approval, or to determine whether a modification of the Conditional Use Permit is necessary upon significant change to the project as represented in the Staff Report dated November 13, 2024, or in the event of a change in ownership which may result in deviation from the project description or approved plans. 2. The Conditional Use Permit shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission as soon as practical if: 1) conduct on the permitted premises results in three (3) citations within any 12-month period for a violation of law or permit condition, 2) that citation is not contested or is upheld on appeal, and 3) the conduct for which the citation was issued resulted in adverse impacts to, or complaints from, residents or occupants of the surrounding neighborhood. At the time of the Conditional Use Permit review, to ensure ongoing compatibility with nearby uses, the conditions of approval may be added, modified, and/or removed, or the Conditional Use Permit may be revoked. The City shall notify Cal Poly if the Use Permit is revoked. A re-review by the Planning Commission shall be accompanied by the appropriate fee. 3. The fraternity shall be limited to a maximum of 19 residents for the property. The property owner shall allow the City to verify the maximum occupancy by allowing an inspection of records or visual inspection of the premises. Any inspection shall be scheduled at a reasonable time with at least 24-hour notice to the residents. Resolution No. PC-1092-24 Page 4 280 California Blvd., USE-0625-2024 4. Routine meetings and gatherings for the fraternity shall be limited to a maximum of 25 people (rounded up from 24.75 = 16.5 people x 1.5), except as otherwise approved by the Community Development Director for special events. If the fraternity hosts special events involving more than 25 people, a transportation management plan to reduce impacts to the surrounding neighborhood shall be submitted to the Community Development Department, at least 30 days prior to the event taking place, for review and approval. No exception from the Noise Ordinance shall be approved by the Director as part of the special event. 5. For the life of the organization, the fraternity shall remain affiliated and in good standing with the Interfraternity Council of Student Life and Leadership at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. If the fraternity becomes unaffiliated or is no longer in good standing, the Conditional Use Permit shall be revoked. 6. For the life of the organization, the fraternity shall provide the name and contact information (i.e., phone number and email address) of all responsible parties to the Community Development Department and Neighborhood Services Manager of the Police Department on an annual basis. If there is a change to the name and/or contact information of any responsible parties, the Community Development Department and Neighborhood Services Manager shall be notified immediately. 7. For the life of the organization, the property shall be maintained in a clean and orderly manner. All landscaping shall be replaced as necessary and maintained (e.g., trimmed, pruned, etc.) to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. 8. A minimum of 19 parking spaces shall be provided and maintained at all times. These spaces shall remain available to residents of the fraternity and not designated for any individuals not residing on the property. 9. The fraternity use shall comply with Table 1 (Exterior Noise Limits) of Section 9.12.060 (Exterior Noise Limits) between the extended hours of 10:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. 10. Prior to a special event approved by the Community Development Director pursuant to Condition No. 4, the fraternity shall provide written notification of the event to occupants within 300 feet of the site. The written notification shall include the date, hours, and contact information for the responsible party for the special event. No exception from the Noise Ordinance shall be approved by the Director as part of the special event. 11. Live entertainment, bands, and/or amplified sounds are prohibited, unless otherwise approved through a special event by the Community Development Department. No exception from the Noise Ordinance shall be approved by the Resolution No. PC-1092-24 Page 5 280 California Blvd., USE-0625-2024 Director as part of the special event. 12. Failure to comply with any of the above conditions or code requirements, or the conduct of the use so as to constitute a violation of Federal, State, or local law, or so as to constitute a public nuisance or so as to cause adverse impacts on the health, safety, or welfare of persons in the vicinity of this use is prohibited and may constitute grounds for the revocation of this permit. 13. Within 60 days of the re-review hearing with the Planning Commission on November 13, 2024, the fraternity shall install a minimum of 19 bicycle spaces (one space for each resident) and contact the City for a follow-up inspection to verify that all required bicycle spaces have been installed. Indemnification 14. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and/or its agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against the City and/or its agents, officers, or employees to attack, set aside, void or annul, the approval by the City of this project, and all actions relating thereto, including but not limited to environmental review (“Indemnified Claims”). The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any Indemnified Claim upon being presented with the Indemnified Claim and the City shall fully cooperate in the defense against an Indemnified Claim.

As you know, the city council did not initiate this action, and I am frustrated that the state-wide goal of increasing representation for marginalized communities has led to non-sensical applications of the voting rights act. When the city was first sued, our options appeared to be: go straight to district elections or fight the suit and risk millions of dollars in fees. Although districts can be beneficial in some communities, our demographic analysis, combined with feedback from local Latinae and Hispanic community leaders indicated that districts would not increase diversity or representation in City government here and may instead have unintended adverse impacts. We have received comments from several residents who would prefer district elections in any case, and I appreciate hearing the reasoning for that approach. Regardless of the outcome of the settlement being considered tonight, city residents are allowed to implement district elections at any time in the future. It would require a change to the city charter so would have to be enabled through a ballot measure. From my research, I do not favor districts for this settlement. I believe our elected leaders are accessible and responsive to community concerns throughout the entire city. Leaders from other similarly sized communities who opted for district election have shared with me many drawbacks, including lack of interested candidates, narrow interests of district representation and funding decisions that don’t address the broad needs of the entire community. I have been interested in rank-choice voting and would love to explore that approach more in the future, but unfortunately it is not a viable option for this settlement. Citywide single vote, the proposed method in the tentative settlement, is a reasonable compromise. In fact, 40% - 50% of our voters already opt to cast just one vote when two seats are open. By implementing that practice across all voters, the pool is opened up for the 2nd seat to emerge from outside of the majority voters. At this time, I believe that the citywide single vote, combined with community outreach, resources and education, is a reasonable approach to a difficult situation. Thanks again for your feedback and involvement.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Dear Councilmembers, I believe district elections will are the best solution for San Luis Obispo for the following reasons: 1. It will allow specific neighborhoods to be represented by someone who lives there and understands the unique circumstances of that district. We live in the northern part of the city and do not have a representative who lives here. Over the past three years, the residents in our neighborhood have been unable to have peace from Thursday to Sunday due to extreme noise generated at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. I have sent video and correspondence to SLOPD and to the Council related to the lack of enforcement of noisy parties and, most importantly, the illegal fraternity houses located in Alta Vista, Monterey Heights, and spreading to neighborhoods west of Santa Rosa near Foothill. One Council member wrote to me after viewing a video and said they didn't know what they would do if they lived here. It's been three years and the problem has not been solved. Each district in the city has unique situations (i.e. Laguna Lake, the airport area, etc.) The constituents need and deserve to have representation in those districts. 2. It will be more inclusive because candidates can run a more affordable campaign. I was involved in running an election campaign for a SLO mayor several years ago and was privy to the inner workings of a campaign. It is expensive and special interest groups can contribute significant amounts by having themselves, their family, and their friends give the maximum contribution, which was limited to $300 per person. It adds up when many related people are each contributing $300. I also witnessed back-room deals where a council person who wanted an endorsement "convinced" another well-known person in politics not to run against the mayoral candidate and in exchange, the city council candidate received an endorsement from the political party and won the election. I became disenchanted and lost faith in the fairness of politics, even on a local level. Money and endorsements by a political party are the primary factors that determine the winner of elections in SLO. Districts allow a more focused approach and are more affordable for potential candidates because they only need to reach those in their district. They would represent the specific needs of the residents in their district. The argument that the district voters can only vote for their representative once every four years is not consequential because the constituents have direct representation. If the City feels they should be able to vote every two years, then change the process to align with the mayoral election and have voting every two years for all candidates.

Our neighborhood's district in San Luis Coastal Unified also dips down to include the San Luis Drive neighborhood and some of the neighborhood east of Johnson Avenue. The school board member for our district lives in that area east of Johnson. I feel the district model is more inclusive because it allows folks to campaign to a smaller segment of people which is more affordable. The district representatives are likely familiar with issues in their district and more accessible to those in their district who wish to bring issues to their attention. I can see both sides of the argument. It would be great for the constituents to be able to decide what they want. I have heard there is a movement toward bringing an initiative forward but have been more preoccupied with solving the fraternity issue so am not super clear about the details. But I have heard from many people who prefer the district model or ranked voting, which I understand is not financially feasible.

I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as well. That was a great suggestion. 303 Because we talked through it specifically, I wanted to highlight the communication plans we’re evaluating that could include:  Media outreach and story/interview pitching with police chiefs and others  Opinion piece placements in local and out-of-area media (particularly student media at key universities in California) to spread the word that the party is canceled in SLO, etc.  Social media outreach out of area to discourage visitors and spread the party is canceled message  Working with sister CSU and UC campuses’ communications departments and student government to help spread the word  Robust on-campus and local social media messaging centered around celebrating responsibly and calling attention to alternative events and to enforcement measures that will be in place. More on this in the months to come. Halloween: messaging and campus impacts I know I shared the pre-Halloween communication that we sent to students with you on Oct. 24th. Here is a summary of impacts from our High-Risk Events Task Force: ASI - Late night Halloween event at the Rec center the Saturday before Halloween - 1200 students showed up, almost double the attendance of the year before. The event ended at 1AM, and many students were still in attendance all the way to the end. UH - UH had staff and CPPD, CSO, and CSL (other roles providing eyes and ears) completing walks and providing a presence both weekends. This seemed to be helpful. Lots of awareness around no overnight guests- seem to have less people around the communities. We had some damage but nothing "out of the normal.” OSRR - Pre Halloween weekend had 22 cases with 74 students, overall, 37 reports with 91 students. 3 transports over both weekends. Working on a year over year Halloween report. FSL - All hydration boxes were utilized with no leftovers and have not heard any negative response from OSRR or the students. L&S - City has decided not to partner with Cal Poly in the future. Community clean up event with 40 student volunteers. DOS - There were instances of vandalism on campus on Halloween night, and facilities worked quickly to get it cleaned up and President Armstrong met with the impacted student communities. City of SLO - City/community had brought up a question on why Cal Poly did not have an event on Halloween itself - mainly due to the time frame of Halloween falling on a weekday. Next year, Halloween falls on a Friday.

The damage was so extensive in one residence hall that it was evacuated for health and safety concerns and tenants were not permitted to return for several hours until the environment was made safe. As a result, an internal working group from student aƯairs, public safety, housing, and ASI student leader was created to address the behavior and make recommendations to campus administration on how to mitigate the vandalism What was learned 1. Due to extension of the safety enhancement zone along with increased enforcement in the neighborhood, students and guests “pre partied” in the residence halls with excessive amounts of alcohol which In previous years they drank at the house parties in the neighborhood 2. This year more non cal poly students traveled to SLO than we have seen in years past 3. There is/was a no guest policy in place for that weekend however housing did not possess the proper resources to enforce the larger than anticipated influx of guests that arrived 4. On campus police attempted to enforce alcohol violations but were overwhelmed with various alarms and the number of parties while the majority of our police resources were assisting in the city What is currently being considered 1. Housing resources increased to properly address and enforce no guest policies  Additional police (Cal Poly and SLO) on campus to address “pre-party” activities before shifting to the neighborhood as needed. Additional security presence monitoring the entrances the night/day before to enforce no guest policy  Housing has implemented new student leadership positions that provide additional community walks and reporting in the late night/early morning hours – an ongoing measure to change culture and increase responsiveness. 2. Changes/upgrades in housing physical infrastructure to include new security measures 3. Alternative on campus event (this may require our resources, more specifically CPPD to remain on campus and not assist in the neighborhood). 4. Communication plan. We are considering plans that could include:  Media outreach and story/interview pitching with police chiefs and others  Opinion piece placements in local and out-of-area media (particularly student media at key universities in California) to spread the word that the party is canceled in SLO, etc.  Social media outreach out of area to discourage visitors and spread the party is canceled message  Working with sister CSU and UC campuses’ communications departments and student government to help spread the word  Robust on-campus and local social media messaging centered around celebrating responsibly and calling attention to alternative events and to enforcement measures that will be in place. Next steps We have expanded the working group to include a city representative (Rick Scott) to begin considering oƯ campus behavior as well. At the next meeting, we will discuss these and any additional recommendations brought forward from the various areas and the financial, physical, and personal resources needed to implement them along with any required policy changes and potential barriers. 311 From:Colunga-Lopez, Andrea Sent:Monday, November 18, 2024 11:56 AM To:kathie walker Cc:CityClerk Subject:RE: Election System Proposal Hi Kathie, Thank you for your input, it has been sent to the City Council members.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Dear Councilmembers, I believe district elections will are the best solution for San Luis Obispo for the following reasons: 1. It will allow specific neighborhoods to be represented by someone who lives there and understands the unique circumstances of that district. We live in the northern part of the city and do not have a representative who lives here. Over the past three years, the residents in our neighborhood have been unable to have peace from Thursday to Sunday due to extreme noise generated at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. I have sent video and correspondence to SLOPD and to the Council related to the lack of enforcement of noisy parties and, most importantly, the illegal fraternity houses located in Alta Vista, Monterey Heights, and spreading to neighborhoods west of Santa Rosa near Foothill. One Council member wrote to me after viewing a video and said they didn't know what they would do if they lived here. It's been three years and the problem has not been solved. 312 Each district in the city has unique situations (i.e. Laguna Lake, the airport area, etc.) The constituents need and deserve to have representation in those districts. 2. It will be more inclusive because candidates can run a more affordable campaign. I was involved in running an election campaign for a SLO mayor several years ago and was privy to the inner workings of a campaign. It is expensive and special interest groups can contribute significant amounts by having themselves, their family, and their friends give the maximum contribution, which was limited to $300 per person. It adds up when many related people are each contributing $300. I also witnessed back-room deals where a council person who wanted an endorsement "convinced" another well-known person in politics not to run against the mayoral candidate and in exchange, the city council candidate received an endorsement from the political party and won the election. I became disenchanted and lost faith in the fairness of politics, even on a local level. Money and endorsements by a political party are the primary factors that determine the winner of elections in SLO. Districts allow a more focused approach and are more affordable for potential candidates because they only need to reach those in their district. They would represent the specific needs of the residents in their district. The argument that the district voters can only vote for their representative once every four years is not consequential because the constituents have direct representation. If the City feels they should be able to vote every two years, then change the process to align with the mayoral election and have voting every two years for all candidates.

I have sent video and correspondence to SLOPD and to the Council related to the lack of enforcement of noisy parties and, most importantly, the illegal fraternity houses located in Alta Vista, Monterey Heights, and spreading to neighborhoods west of Santa Rosa near Foothill. One Council member wrote to me after viewing a video and said they didn't know what they would do if they lived here. It's been three years and the problem has not been solved. Each district in the city has unique situations (i.e. Laguna Lake, the airport area, etc.) The constituents need and deserve to have representation in those districts. 2. It will be more inclusive because candidates can run a more affordable campaign. I was involved in running an election campaign for a SLO mayor several years ago and was privy to the inner workings of a campaign. It is expensive and special interest groups can contribute significant amounts by having themselves, their family, and their friends give the maximum contribution, which was limited to $300 per person. It adds up when many related people are each contributing $300. I also witnessed back-room deals where a council person who wanted an endorsement "convinced" another well-known person in politics not to run against the mayoral candidate and in exchange, the city council candidate received an endorsement from the political party and won the election. I became disenchanted and lost faith in the fairness of politics, even on a local level. Money and endorsements by a political party are the primary factors that determine the winner of elections in SLO. Districts allow a more focused approach and are more affordable for potential candidates because they only need to reach those in their district. They would represent the specific needs of the residents in their district. The argument that the district voters can only vote for their representative once every four years is not consequential because the constituents have direct representation. If the City feels they should be able to vote every two years, then change the process to align with the mayoral election and have voting every two years for all candidates. Thank you for your consideration, Kathie Walker
