BCC CC:
Members of Council,
First my apologies as you are having to wade through these emails among the many other pressing matters
underway. I do feel it is important that I attempt to clarify with you as we did with the newspaper regarding inaccurate
statements persons are attributing to myself and the department. There is no higher priority than to end St. Fratty’s
Day as soon and as safely as possible and this is the objective we are working toward. I fully appreciate the vocal
concern and anger of some of our community members, but we are working toward the best outcome and do not wish
for any members of our community to be injured, especially at the hands of police.
This was precisely what I was attempting to explain to Ms. Vix. I sought Ms. Vix out and sat with her for 45 minutes
after SCLC believing she was upset and to reassure her we were working hard on the problem. There seems to be a
disconnect with how Mardi Gras and Poly Royal were ended and why that approach cannot be used for St. Fratty’s
Day. What I said was ‘those both ended in a riot and the extreme use of force by the PD was justified to end the riot
and keep people from further getting hurt or killed.’ I further said that approach was not appropriate for people
congregating in the street or for even minor vandalism. Ms. Vix did not accept this explanation, and I further advised a
tragedy would end the event such as someone being severely hurt or massive property damage where cars were
burnt during Poly Royal. I was very clear however, that our goal was precisely to prevent a tragedy and avoid a riot
response by the police or partygoers alike.
Her request was to have officers exclusively stationed on her property during the event and I advise that was not
possible and that homeowners must take the necessary and reasonable precautions to prevent trespassing and
property damage. The PD sent a team to Ms. Vix’s student leased property to see where the property could be
improved and easy access to the roof discontinued. She was appreciative and appeared to be agreeable to the
changes recommended to include fencing.
Lastly and to address the cyberstalking case mentioned by Ms. Walker, PD did initiate an investigation for Ms. Walker
and sought her approval to interview her suspect neighbor. At that time, she declined (was recorded) the investigation
and advised she only wanted it documented which was done. Sometime after stopping the investigation, she then
advised she wanted the investigation restarted, which we then did. The patrol officer met with the department’s
computer forensics expert to evaluate the case to move it forward. However, there was not enough evidence to
complete the investigation and no identifiable means to obtain it, and the case was suspended. The mentioned
“supplement report” went back and documented those details since she claimed we just arbitrarily disregarded her
case. However, if another incident were to reoccur, the case could be reactivated at any time.
Again, my apologies for having to provide this level of detail, but I think this cannot be ignored and is necessary to see
the level of the department’s investment and engagement over how it is being purported by those aggrieved and who
honestly just want the situation fixed, which we totally agree and support.
Respectfully,
Rick Scott

Erica, Jan, Emily, Michelle, and Mike,
Since the article was published in The Tribune, several news organizations have contacted Steve by somehow
tracking down his cell phone number. A documentary filmmaker also contacted us through the Tribune reporter,
Sadie Dittenber, who investigated the situation for a few months and wrote the article. Also, some neighbors
were able to find Steve's number through software they use for their job, and have reached out to us because
they, too, are affected by what has happened in our neighborhood with the illegal fraternity houses. They have
been afraid to speak out, as many other neighbors, because they fear retaliation.
You may or may not know that there are some illegal fraternities on McCollum off of Albert, and, according to
the AVNA chair, Karen Adler, she and the other neighbors complained about the illegal fraternity, and
subsequently, their property was vandalized and their cat was killed. Karen's car windows were smashed and
the side mirror was left dangling by the wires. These are some of the reasons that my neighbors - and there are
several - are afraid to speak out.
It is not comfortable for Steve and me to speak out either, but someone has to. I have been cyberstalked and the
police did not investigate, despite their claims to the Tribune that they did. I sent information to reporter, Ms.
Dittenber, showing that I continually asked for an investigation, over the course of a month, and my case was
never forwarded to a detective. I recently forwarded that email (sent to the reporter, Ms. Dittenber, with my
documentation) to SLOPD and now, two years later, SLOPD is adding a "supplemental report" to my original
complaint because it originally said my complaint was "for documentation only" and was never investigated,
despite my repeated pleas that it be investigated.
I've also been documenting noisy fraternity parties at illegal fraternity houses with video since the fall of 2021
when our neighborhood noticed a substantial increase in noise, and sending them to SLOPD and the city
council. Large noisy fraternity parties were cleared by SLOPD as "unable to locate" or "negative violation" so I
felt I needed to document the parties to prove they were actually happening, even though the SLOPD dispatch
log shows there was no violation of the noise ordinance. To be clear, the enforcement of noise in our
neighborhood, and others now that frats have spread to other neighborhoods, is abysmal and has not changed
since 2021. The police chief told me to stop taking video of the parties, and told me that I should have the police
come to my house to make sure I can actually hear the noise so that my calls to SLOPD "are equitable." I believe
I forwarded his email to you with those statements when it was sent to me.
We can hear booming bass from blocks away and are mostly affected by the hordes of screaming sorority girls
that pass by our house, going from an illegal fraternity house to an illegal fraternity house. We can also hear
parties at the many illegal fraternity houses that surround us. Additionally, I have had meetings with the city
since 2023 and provided documentation of each illegal fraternity house, but nothing has been done to shut
down a single one. We are beyond frustrated at the situation!!!
This is NOT NORMAL, which is the reason that media outlets and filmmakers have reached out to us!
106
I had a phone conversation with a British reporter from the Daily Mail and gave her a link to the website
HowToRuinANeighborhood.com and contact information for several people, including Jan Marx, SLOPD Chief
Rick Scott, and is also a member of a small resident
task force for St. Fratty's that has been formed to come up with ideas to present to the city and protect our
properties. Her tenants were terrorized during St. Fratty's Day 2024. After the last SCLC meeting, spoke
with Chief Scott, which I observed, and there was another witness to the conversation. He told her that it was
not the police's job to protect her property, and if something bad happened, she would bear the liability. He also
told her that St. Fratty's will not end until someone dies or there is extreme property damage.
called me after the meeting and I tried to console her and encouraged her that the city manager is going to
insist that St. Fratty's ends. Whitney McDonald said it was her number one goal at the first SCLC meeting of the
academic year. Ms. McDonald suggested that our St. Fratty's task force meet with RQN on 12/11/2024, when
SLOPD was presenting its plan for St. Fratty's this year, and held out hope that she would have some
reassurance during that meeting. Unfortunately, SLOPD's plans were not reassuring and began
interviewing Realtors and then put her house on the market a couple of weeks ago.
The reporter from the Daily Mail emailed me today and said that she hadn't had time to reach out to
but the story was published today, and she sent me a link. I was disappointed to see the story was
sensationalized and some of my statements were not accurate. The reporter must not have recorded the
conversation, as the Tribune reporter did. For example, she said "dayges" go on for four days straight, which is
not true. They are usually for several hours on Saturday or Sunday. However, I did say that parties start on
Thursday night and go through Sunday afternoon, which is close to four days straight. She said my husband was
in the Army at Sandhurst (Royal Military Academy) and Zimbabwe. He was not in the military in Zimbabwe and
fled the country with only a suitcase because it was unsafe as farms were being seized by the government. One
of his family members was murdered. He did go to the UK and attended Sandhurst. So some of the statements
are skewed. But the core of the problem surrounding the illegal frats and the retaliation since Sigma Pi received
a noise violation is true, and I feel that's what is important.
I will try to ensure that other State and National news stories accurately print my statements if we choose to
move forward with more publicity.
Hopefully, the city is committed to providing funding for combating this serious problem in the 2025 - 2027
budget cycle and this nightmare will end.
Thank you,
Kathie

Hi Hannah,
Hope you were able to have an amazing holiday season and great start to 2025! I apologize for not following up
on this project in awhile but I am not back on track. I took some time today to layout a proposed parking plan to
allow for more spots. Please let me know your thoughts on this, I make each spot 9'x18.4' like we talked about, I
know the minimum width is 8.6' per on conversation. If there is anything that you would like be to dimension or
show, I will get that done. If you have any markups or if its easier to schedule a zoom call we can do that as well.
Thank you again for all the help!! Please see the attached for review.

Hi Celeste,
Here is a screenshot of tandem stalls from the Engineering Standards. No spacing requirement between these
spaces.
Regarding the request to provide three “columns” of tandem spaces, you can add this request in the project
description. It is typically processed as a Director’s Action application. However, since this is a CUP application that
would require Planning Commission approval (higher level review than Director), the request can be incorporated into
the application and PC make the decision on that request as part of the overall fraternity review.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Hannah,
One more question for you, if the parking stalls have to be 18.' x 8.6', do you know how far apart they need to be
spaced both side by side and tandem? We are going to propose more than one car parked in a tandem
formation for directors action. With 3 cars parked in tandem for a total of 6 cars. We can widen the driveway if
needed. Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Thank you for reaching out. To follow up on our conversation, linked below are the resources related to parking:
2020 Engineering Standards
o See Standard 2240 (on page 266 of the 447 page PDF) for the required dimensions of a parking space.
Minimum dimensions are a length of 18.4’ and width of 8.6’.
o Note – The spaces must be oriented/positioned in a way that requires no more than two maneuvers
(defined as a motion in either a forward or backward direction) to enter or exit.
Table 2-10 (R-4 Zone Development Standards)
o Parking spaces have a minimum required setback of 20 feet from the front property line.
Section 17.158.044
o Tandem parking is only allowed as a two space arrangement.
Let me know if you have any further questions. I am out of the office tomorrow (Friday), but will be able to circle back
with you on Monday.

Hello Hannah,
I wanted to reach out and introduce myself to you. I work for Urban Arena and am handling the edits to the letter
you sent regarding the edits you want made to the CUP involving 1327 Foothill Blvd. I have a couple questions
for you regarding the parking. I see that you want the required dimensions of the bay widths and stall lengths for
each space, required clearances for maneuverability, etc. I also see that the proposed stacked formation
cannot be arranged. On the SLO muni code, it says that all parking stalls shall comply with the parking bay
dimensions standards for average sized cars as provided in the engineering standard details. Could you provide
me with these details please? I see on your response letter that no more than two cars in tandem may be
requested. Can you clarify if that means two sets of tandem cars (4 total) or one set (2 total)? Thank you!

Subject: Fraternaties and Cal Poly
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear Council Members:
I live in Monterey Heights and found the recent article about Cal Poly fraternities very disturbing as
I’ve experienced the ignoring of the city's noise ordinance by students. Our general experience
living among the students has been very positive. However, the mixture of immaturity and alcohol
120
is hazardous and destructive to the well being of the whole community, not just permanent
residents.
I urge the city, the police department, and the planning department to take a firm stance on the
enforcement of the city’s noise ordinance and approval of Conditional Use Permits. I am all in
favor of warnings being given for first time offenders, but repeat offenders learn by facing the
consequences of their actions. Cite them! Cite them! Cite them!
The recent article in The Tribune quoted a student mentioning a compromise. This is laughable. As
the article further mentioned, communication is important. My question is why Cal Poly hasn’t
communicated the noise ordinance to its students, especially when they move off campus? Cal
Poly staff claiming it’s not their problem are missing the point. This is a cop out. Education goes
beyond book learning. Becoming responsible citizen should be instilled in the population that
attends any school. Since when do we sit down and compromise the quiet enjoyment of our
homes?
Again, my interaction with our neighboring students has been positive. With each new group, I
explain that based on experience, a warning call doesn’t work if the noise, music and yelling, is so
loud the phone ring can not be heard. When I call a neighboring offender, I give them the first call
or text and wait five minutes to respond. If they don’t, my second call is to the police. Period. I’ve
never had to make a second call because of my immediate neighbors.
Cal Poly should consider disciplinary action for repeat offenders. Students are representatives of
their school. I know Cal Poly is worried about the tuition they receive, but if they were made to
reimburse the city for police response calls caused by students, they might take a different
approach other than sticking their head into the sand.
Strict enforcement of the city ordinances and cooperation from Cal Poly to educate their
population will go a long way to bring civility to our community.
Thank you for listening.

RQN,
Thank you for sharing. I listened to the audio version.
Keep up the fight, I guess. But CP is revealing its hands-off approach is not temporary, rather its
permanent. They are not acting as a good neighbor at all!
I believe the City is getting this message too. Can the City revoke its MOUs for all the services it
provides to the campus? That would up the conflict, up the ante.
Students seem to believe they have a right to act like drunken idiots whereever they are. This is not
a scholarly attitude. Cal Poly should be more concerned about its reputation as a "party school." I pity
those who live in my old Alta Vista neighborhood, where peopole like the Walkers have to put up with
the nuisances they describe.

Dear RQN Members and Friends,
An excellent, well-researched article by Sadie Dittenber regarding the existence of fraternities in our single-
family (R-1) and medium density (R-2) housing areas... and how they affect those neighborhoods was in the
January 5, 2024 edition of The Tribune. A portion of the article also discusses St Fratty's Day, a made-up
student holiday that occurs near St. Patrick's Day, and the damage and destruction that ensues.
For those of you who may have missed the article or who do not subscribe to the paper or the digital copy, here
is a link to that article: https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/education/cal-poly-
university/article295948429.html
Alternate link: If the other one doesn't work for you, this one will: https://archive.is/e1mK5
In the article Mayor Stewart commented that Cal Poly built a task force to address the concerns around St.
Fratty’s Day after the March 2024 event’s escalation, but that the university didn’t include anyone from the city
on that task force until October. What she didn't mention was that the City did not, and has not, created their
own task force to address problems that the event created within the city's neighborhoods.
Unfortunately, as Cal Poly continues to grow without adding more on-campus housing, more and more
neighborhoods will be affected by noise and, regrettably, vandalism. In 2015 I and others attended a meeting
to review Cal Poly's Master Plan Update; it included additional on-campus housing as well as a Greek
127
Row. That Master Plan Update has not been completed/approved - and now we are being told it will be 10
more years before on-campus housing will be constructed - all the while adding 300-500 new students per
year.
You may provide this information to whomever you wish... and thank you for your concern about your
neighborhoods.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rowley

Dear Council Members:
I live in Monterey Heights and found the recent article about Cal Poly fraternities very disturbing as I’ve
experienced the ignoring of the city's noise ordinance by students. Our general experience living among the
students has been very positive. However, the mixture of immaturity and alcohol is hazardous and destructive
to the well being of the whole community, not just permanent residents.
I urge the city, the police department, and the planning department to take a firm stance on the enforcement of
the city’s noise ordinance and approval of Conditional Use Permits. I am all in favor of warnings being given for
first time offenders, but repeat offenders learn by facing the consequences of their actions. Cite them! Cite
them! Cite them!
The recent article in The Tribune quoted a student mentioning a compromise. This is laughable. As the article
further mentioned, communication is important. My question is why Cal Poly hasn’t communicated the noise
ordinance to its students, especially when they move off campus? Cal Poly staff claiming it’s not their problem
are missing the point. This is a cop out. Education goes beyond book learning. Becoming responsible citizen
129
should be instilled in the population that attends any school. Since when do we sit down and compromise the
quiet enjoyment of our homes?
Again, my interaction with our neighboring students has been positive. With each new group, I explain that
based on experience, a warning call doesn’t work if the noise, music and yelling, is so loud the phone ring can
not be heard. When I call a neighboring offender, I give them the first call or text and wait five minutes to
respond. If they don’t, my second call is to the police. Period. I’ve never had to make a second call because of
my immediate neighbors.
Cal Poly should consider disciplinary action for repeat offenders. Students are representatives of their school. I
know Cal Poly is worried about the tuition they receive, but if they were made to reimburse the city for police
response calls caused by students, they might take a different approach other than sticking their head into the
sand.
Strict enforcement of the city ordinances and cooperation from Cal Poly to educate their population will go a
long way to bring civility to our community.
Thank you for listening.

Erica, Jan, Emily, Michelle, and Mike,
Since the article was published in The Tribune, several news organizations have contacted Steve by somehow
tracking down his cell phone number. A documentary filmmaker also contacted us through the Tribune reporter,
131
Sadie Dittenber, who investigated the situation for a few months and wrote the article. Also, some neighbors
were able to find Steve's number through software they use for their job, and have reached out to us because
they, too, are affected by what has happened in our neighborhood with the illegal fraternity houses. They have
been afraid to speak out, as many other neighbors, because they fear retaliation.
You may or may not know that there are some illegal fraternities on McCollum off of Albert, and, according to
she and the other neighbors complained about the illegal fraternity, and
subsequently, their property was vandalized and their cat was killed. car windows were smashed and
the side mirror was left dangling by the wires. These are some of the reasons that my neighbors - and there are
several - are afraid to speak out.
It is not comfortable for Steve and me to speak out either, but someone has to. I have been cyberstalked and the
police did not investigate, despite their claims to the Tribune that they did. I sent information to reporter, Ms.
Dittenber, showing that I continually asked for an investigation, over the course of a month, and my case was
never forwarded to a detective. I recently forwarded that email (sent to the reporter, Ms. Dittenber, with my
documentation) to SLOPD and now, two years later, SLOPD is adding a "supplemental report" to my original
complaint because it originally said my complaint was "for documentation only" and was never investigated,
despite my repeated pleas that it be investigated.
I've also been documenting noisy fraternity parties at illegal fraternity houses with video since the fall of 2021
when our neighborhood noticed a substantial increase in noise, and sending them to SLOPD and the city
council. Large noisy fraternity parties were cleared by SLOPD as "unable to locate" or "negative violation" so I
felt I needed to document the parties to prove they were actually happening, even though the SLOPD dispatch
log shows there was no violation of the noise ordinance. To be clear, the enforcement of noise in our
neighborhood, and others now that frats have spread to other neighborhoods, is abysmal and has not changed
since 2021. The police chief told me to stop taking video of the parties, and told me that I should have the police
come to my house to make sure I can actually hear the noise so that my calls to SLOPD "are equitable." I believe
I forwarded his email to you with those statements when it was sent to me.
We can hear booming bass from blocks away and are mostly affected by the hordes of screaming sorority girls
that pass by our house, going from an illegal fraternity house to an illegal fraternity house. We can also hear
parties at the many illegal fraternity houses that surround us. Additionally, I have had meetings with the city
since 2023 and provided documentation of each illegal fraternity house, but nothing has been done to shut
down a single one. We are beyond frustrated at the situation!!!
This is NOT NORMAL, which is the reason that media outlets and filmmakers have reached out to us!
I had a phone conversation with a British reporter from the Daily Mail and gave her a link to the website
HowToRuinANeighborhood.com and contact information for several people, including Jan Marx, SLOPD Chief
Rick Scott, and is also a member of a small resident
task force for St. Fratty's that has been formed to come up with ideas to present to the city and protect our
properties. Her tenants were terrorized during St. Fratty's Day 2024. After the last SCLC meeting, spoke
with Chief Scott, which I observed, and there was another witness to the conversation. He told her that it was
not the police's job to protect her property, and if something bad happened, she would bear the liability. He also
told her that St. Fratty's will not end until someone dies or there is extreme property damage.
called me after the meeting and I tried to console her and encouraged her that the city manager is going to
insist that St. Fratty's ends. Whitney McDonald said it was her number one goal at the first SCLC meeting of the
academic year. Ms. McDonald suggested that our St. Fratty's task force meet with RQN on 12/11/2024, when
SLOPD was presenting its plan for St. Fratty's this year, and held out hope that she would have some
132
reassurance during that meeting. Unfortunately, SLOPD's plans were not reassuring and began
interviewing Realtors and then put her house on the market a couple of weeks ago.
The reporter from the Daily Mail emailed me today and said that she hadn't had time to reach out to
but the story was published today, and she sent me a link. I was disappointed to see the story was
sensationalized and some of my statements were not accurate. The reporter must not have recorded the
conversation, as the Tribune reporter did. For example, she said "dayges" go on for four days straight, which is
not true. They are usually for several hours on Saturday or Sunday. However, I did say that parties start on
Thursday night and go through Sunday afternoon, which is close to four days straight. She said my husband was
in the Army at Sandhurst (Royal Military Academy) and Zimbabwe. He was not in the military in Zimbabwe and
fled the country with only a suitcase because it was unsafe as farms were being seized by the government. One
of his family members was murdered. He did go to the UK and attended Sandhurst. So some of the statements
are skewed. But the core of the problem surrounding the illegal frats and the retaliation since Sigma Pi received
a noise violation is true, and I feel that's what is important.
I will try to ensure that other State and National news stories accurately print my statements if we choose to
move forward with more publicity.
Hopefully, the city is committed to providing funding for combating this serious problem in the 2025 - 2027
budget cycle and this nightmare will end.
Thank you,
Kathie

Thank you for sharing. I listened to the audio version.
Keep up the fight, I guess. But CP is revealing its hands-off approach is not temporary, rather its
permanent. They are not acting as a good neighbor at all!
I believe the City is getting this message too. Can the City revoke its MOUs for all the services it
provides to the campus? That would up the conflict, up the ante.
Students seem to believe they have a right to act like drunken idiots whereever they are. This is not a

In the article Mayor Stewart commented that Cal Poly built a task force to address the concerns around St.
Fratty’s Day after the March 2024 event’s escalation, but that the university didn’t include anyone from the city
on that task force until October. What she didn't mention was that the City did not, and has not, created their
own task force to address problems that the event created within the city's neighborhoods.
Unfortunately, as Cal Poly continues to grow without adding more on-campus housing, more and more
neighborhoods will be affected by noise and, regrettably, vandalism. In 2015 I and others attended a meeting
to review Cal Poly's Master Plan Update; it included additional on-campus housing as well as a Greek Row. That
Master Plan Update has not been completed/approved - and now we are being told it will be 10 more years
before on-campus housing will be constructed - all the while adding 300-500 new students per year.
You may provide this information to whomever you wish... and thank you for your concern about your

Dear Mayoress Stewart and Members of the Council:
I endorse the recommendations of the Residents for Quality Neighborhoods in their correspondence to you.
They are thoughtfully conceived for the improved management of our City and its residential neighborhoods. If,
upon reflection, you find the budget would suffer too much constraint in appointing new officers to monitor
noise reduction and abuse of fraternity satellites without documentation, you might consider removing the DEI
Manager's title and duties and rather assign new duties and a new role toward the betterment of the
neighborhoods. You must be aware of the many corporations who have cancelled their DEI budgets toward
more prudent allocation. This does not suggest that the concept of diversity, equity, inclusion would lose its
validity in current and future legislation/discussion.
I have a more immediate concern in proposing more attention and action to creek clearance, something that
has been abandoned for over 2 decades. While homeowners are meant to be responsible for such clearance, it
144
is not possible for homeowners who are elderly or handicapped to do such clearance as needed. Further, huge
trees have grown in spaces where there were no such species beforehand, like the black walnut overtaking our
creek, at the cost of our willows, native species, and the wildlife: egrets and deer and aquatic life. In view of the
wildfires raging as you meet, and the uncertainty of our climate future, the City should be more pro-active in this
regard.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Respectfully yours,
Genevieve Czech,

Dear Mayor & City Council members: Please pay attention to what the residents of the Alta Vista Neighborhood
are telling you! So many older residents have moved out of this area thereby turning once lovely homes over to
investors who stack them with students for top dollar! For those of us that have stuck it out, SLOPD response is
absolutely vital & satellite fraternity houses need to be on CP’s campus! Karen Adler - longtime resident &

at 10:30 and they were kind, but this is a repeated problem after 46 years of living here, 24 years at
my home on Kentucky Street. WE need more police available to respond to these incredibly loud
parties. You all know Cal Poly only gives lip service. What about you? With all do respect, I know
some of your personally and I’ve met all of you at one time or another. I’m in my 70’s now. I don’t

SUBJECT: Item 7c, 2025-27 Budget Foundation
Dear Mayor Stewart and Members of the Council,
Residents for Quality Neighborhoods requests the following items be included in the
2025-27 Budget/Financial Plan for the reasons provided. We further request these
items be consolidated under a “Neighborhoods” umbrella and considered a Major City
Goal.
A. Add Community Development positions.
1. Add two Code Enforcement Officers to effectively carry out proactive
enforcement.
Discussion.
Several residential developments have been added since code enforcement staffing
was last reviewed and increased. And the number of fraternity main houses and
satellite houses located in the city’s neighborhoods has also increased with
concomitant code enforcement issues. The Community Development Director has
stated there is insufficient Code Enforcement staff to handle the workload. Thus
additional staffing is required to address current code enforcement problems
throughout the city and its neighborhoods.
2. Add one staff position to oversee the enforcement process for fraternity and
sorority use of residential properties.
Discussion.
Identifying residential properties as fraternity or sorority houses and addressing their
code violations is a long and arduous task, especially since Cal Poly has removed all
the street addresses from their AB 524 (2022) Report (Campus Recognized Sorority
& Fraternity Transparency Act). In addition, only a few of the fraternity main houses
and satellite houses have the required Conditional Use Permits. The appropriate
paperwork must be properly completed, but in the past this has not always occurred;
a subject-matter expert performing quality control would alleviate this.
3. Revive the Neighborhood Services Manager position and locate it in the
Community Development Department.
Discussion.
The Neighborhood Services Manager position was previously located in the Police
Department; however, that position has been modified and is now the Police Public
Affairs Manager. Also, previously one of Community Development’s planners was
designated as “the Neighborhood Planner.” This planner was a resource for
residents, providing information when a proposed or new state law would affect
neighborhoods or assisting residents with problem-solving. A new Neighborhood
Services Manager would be able to fill both needs and should also act as an advocate
- much like the City’s Bicycle Coordinator, DEI Manager and Sustainability Manager
do.
B. Add two Community Service Officers (42K’s) to the Police Department for noise
147
enforcement.
Discussion.
Add two Community Service Officers dedicated to enforcing noise complaints from
Thursday through Sunday. The City of Davis utilized these enforcement officials to
curb their student party noise in neighborhoods and it was very successful. The
additional enforcement personnel will enhance existing enforcement efforts and free
up police officers for higher priority crime response.
C. Following St Fratty’s Day 2025, have the City Manager form a task force to
address concerns surrounding the event.
Discussion.
Cal Poly formed a task force after the 2024 event which gave them a year to put into
place new policies and procedures to address the destructive behaviors that had
occurred, and to train the appropriate personnel on what they were to do. Our city
may be able to benefit from this level of engagement by including personnel from
various departments as well as city residents, and by putting new policies and
procedures in place before the next year’s event occurs.
Request you will favorably consider these recommendations and include them in your
Major City Goals.
Thank you for your time and your consideration.

Thanks for adding the information, Laura. One thing I wanted to emphasize, was that Chief Scott never said that
people have to die before SLOPD would intervene in a fraternity party. That is not accurate and is misinformation you
are being provided.
Thank you.

Hi Laura,
I attempted to reply to your email on behalf of the San Luis Obispo Police Department on Tuesday evening last week,

Good afternoon Laura,
Thank you for reaching out regarding issues being reported by residents of our community. The San Luis Obispo
Police Department takes quality of life crimes very seriously and has dedicated countless hours of education and
enforcement to reduce noisy parties and disruptions in the neighborhoods surrounding Cal Poly University. As is
common in many cities that are adjacent to major universities, there is often friction between college students and full-
time residents in these neighborhoods.
Here are a few talking points related to how the San Luis Obispo Police Department responds to noise complaints:
The City of San Luis Obispo has a comprehensive noise ordinance program that outlines guidelines for
what constitutes a noise violation. Our Officers respond to noise complaints, and issue citations as
appropriate based on observed behavior, with fines starting at $350 and rising to $1000 for continued
violations.
The City has implemented a law for “Unruly Gatherings” which result in greater legal penalties for the
violator.
Repeat noise violations result in increased fines, and citations can also be sent to property owners, to
help gain compliance from problem locations.
The City has enacted a Safety Enhancement Zone, which effectively doubles fines for quality of life
crimes during peak periods including back-to-school week, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day, as a
deterrent to curb criminal behavior in the neighborhoods.
The Police Department created a party registration program, that allows resident to register a party
with the city, providing a point of contact who can be called should a noise complaint be received. At
that time, the residents have 20 minutes to end the noise, without receiving a citation. This program has
proven to be extremely successful, with approximately 1% of registered parties receiving a noise
citation.
In 2023, the total number of noise complaints received by the San Luis Obispo Police Department was
the second lowest year since 2013.
As you can see from the data above, the San Luis Obispo Police Department is not ‘dismissive’ of our residents’
complaints, but unfortunately there are times were residents want to see more enforcement than can legally be
applied. The following chart shows the number of noise complaints the San Luis Obispo Police Department has
received and responded to since 2013.
165
Finally, the quote you are attributing to Chief Scott is not accurate at all regarding our response to noise complaints.
As you can see above, our Officers respond to noise complaints nightly. I am not sure where this quote came from or
if something Chief Scott said was taken out of context and is being reported to you as our generic response to parties,
but that is absolutely untrue.
Thank you.

Dear Mr Scott,
I hope you're well. I'm a reporter with the Daily Mail based in New York.
Today I spoke with a couple of residents from San Luis Obispo about the frat parties they say have been
terrorizing their Alta Vista neighborhood - an area where frat houses are not permitted under zoning laws.
They shared shocking footage of some of the harassment they have endured
(https://howtoruinaneighborhood.com/disruption-retaliation-and-issues/)
One of the residents said the police have been 'dismissive' of their complaints and said the chief told them
'someone would have to die or there would have to be serious property damage' for police to intervene, despite
reporting extreme noise, harassment, and vandalism around their homes several times a week.
I'm getting in touch in case you would like to comment on this - keen to hear your perspective. Please let me
know if you would. If you have a media department where this query would be better directed, please let me
know!
Many thanks,
Laura Parnaby

Devin, on the previous email, we attached our fraternity nationals insurance letter for this event. I am still
unclear on how to proceed with special insurance in addition to this. I do not believe we turned this in last year.
Please advise us on how to proceed. We will also only need access to the bridge, and the small entrance portion
to the SLO creek where the ducks will enter. We will not need a vendor permit. Please send any additional
information you have for us.
Best,

Subject: Article re: Illegal Fraternities, Etc. and News Publications
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Erica, Jan, Emily, Michelle, and Mike,
Since the article was published in The Tribune, several news organizations have contacted Steve by somehow
tracking down his cell phone number. A documentary filmmaker also contacted us through the Tribune reporter,
Sadie Dittenber, who investigated the situation for a few months and wrote the article. Also, some neighbors
were able to find Steve's number through software they use for their job, and have reached out to us because
they, too, are affected by what has happened in our neighborhood with the illegal fraternity houses. They have
been afraid to speak out, as many other neighbors, because they fear retaliation.
You may or may not know that there are some illegal fraternities on McCollum off of Albert, and, according to
she and the other neighbors complained about the illegal fraternity, and
subsequently, their property was vandalized and their cat was killed. car windows were smashed and
the side mirror was left dangling by the wires. These are some of the reasons that my neighbors - and there are
several - are afraid to speak out.
It is not comfortable for Steve and me to speak out either, but someone has to. I have been cyberstalked and the
police did not investigate, despite their claims to the Tribune that they did. I sent information to reporter, Ms.
Dittenber, showing that I continually asked for an investigation, over the course of a month, and my case was
never forwarded to a detective. I recently forwarded that email (sent to the reporter, Ms. Dittenber, with my
documentation) to SLOPD and now, two years later, SLOPD is adding a "supplemental report" to my original
complaint because it originally said my complaint was "for documentation only" and was never investigated,
despite my repeated pleas that it be investigated.
I've also been documenting noisy fraternity parties at illegal fraternity houses with video since the fall of 2021
when our neighborhood noticed a substantial increase in noise, and sending them to SLOPD and the city
council. Large noisy fraternity parties were cleared by SLOPD as "unable to locate" or "negative violation" so I
felt I needed to document the parties to prove they were actually happening, even though the SLOPD dispatch
194
log shows there was no violation of the noise ordinance. To be clear, the enforcement of noise in our
neighborhood, and others now that frats have spread to other neighborhoods, is abysmal and has not changed
since 2021. The police chief told me to stop taking video of the parties, and told me that I should have the police
come to my house to make sure I can actually hear the noise so that my calls to SLOPD "are equitable." I believe
I forwarded his email to you with those statements when it was sent to me.
We can hear booming bass from blocks away and are mostly affected by the hordes of screaming sorority girls
that pass by our house, going from an illegal fraternity house to an illegal fraternity house. We can also hear
parties at the many illegal fraternity houses that surround us. Additionally, I have had meetings with the city
since 2023 and provided documentation of each illegal fraternity house, but nothing has been done to shut
down a single one. We are beyond frustrated at the situation!!!
This is NOT NORMAL, which is the reason that media outlets and filmmakers have reached out to us!
I had a phone conversation with a British reporter from the Daily Mail and gave her a link to the website
HowToRuinANeighborhood.com and contact information for several people, including Jan Marx, SLOPD Chief
Rick Scott, and is also a member of a small resident
task force for St. Fratty's that has been formed to come up with ideas to present to the city and protect our
properties. Her tenants were terrorized during St. Fratty's Day 2024. After the last SCLC meeting, spoke
with Chief Scott, which I observed, and there was another witness to the conversation. He told her that it was
not the police's job to protect her property, and if something bad happened, she would bear the liability. He also
told her that St. Fratty's will not end until someone dies or there is extreme property damage.
called me after the meeting and I tried to console her and encouraged her that the city manager is going to
insist that St. Fratty's ends. Whitney McDonald said it was her number one goal at the first SCLC meeting of the
academic year. Ms. McDonald suggested that our St. Fratty's task force meet with RQN on 12/11/2024, when
SLOPD was presenting its plan for St. Fratty's this year, and held out hope that she would have some
reassurance during that meeting. Unfortunately, SLOPD's plans were not reassuring and began
interviewing Realtors and then put her house on the market a couple of weeks ago.
The reporter from the Daily Mail emailed me today and said that she hadn't had time to reach out to
but the story was published today, and she sent me a link. I was disappointed to see the story was
sensationalized and some of my statements were not accurate. The reporter must not have recorded the
conversation, as the Tribune reporter did. For example, she said "dayges" go on for four days straight, which is
not true. They are usually for several hours on Saturday or Sunday. However, I did say that parties start on
Thursday night and go through Sunday afternoon, which is close to four days straight. She said my husband was
in the Army at Sandhurst (Royal Military Academy) and Zimbabwe. He was not in the military in Zimbabwe and
fled the country with only a suitcase because it was unsafe as farms were being seized by the government. One
of his family members was murdered. He did go to the UK and attended Sandhurst. So some of the statements
are skewed. But the core of the problem surrounding the illegal frats and the retaliation since Sigma Pi received
a noise violation is true, and I feel that's what is important.
I will try to ensure that other State and National news stories accurately print my statements if we choose to
move forward with more publicity.
Hopefully, the city is committed to providing funding for combating this serious problem in the 2025 - 2027
budget cycle and this nightmare will end.
Thank you,
Kathie

Subject: RE: PRESS - Frat parties in SLO
Good afternoon Laura,
Thank you for reaching out regarding issues being reported by residents of our community. The San Luis Obispo
Police Department takes quality of life crimes very seriously and has dedicated countless hours of education and
enforcement to reduce noisy parties and disruptions in the neighborhoods surrounding Cal Poly University. As is
common in many cities that are adjacent to major universities, there is often friction between college students and full-
time residents in these neighborhoods.
Here are a few talking points related to how the San Luis Obispo Police Department responds to noise complaints:
The City of San Luis Obispo has a comprehensive noise ordinance program that outlines guidelines for
what constitutes a noise violation. Our Officers respond to noise complaints, and issue citations as
appropriate based on observed behavior, with fines starting at $350 and rising to $1000 for continued
violations.
The City has implemented a law for “Unruly Gatherings” which result in greater legal penalties for the
violator.
Repeat noise violations result in increased fines, and citations can also be sent to property owners, to
help gain compliance from problem locations.
The City has enacted a Safety Enhancement Zone, which effectively doubles fines for quality of life
crimes during peak periods including back-to-school week, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day, as a
deterrent to curb criminal behavior in the neighborhoods.
The Police Department created a party registration program, that allows resident to register a party with
the city, providing a point of contact who can be called should a noise complaint be received. At that
time, the residents have 20 minutes to end the noise, without receiving a citation. This program has
proven to be extremely successful, with approximately 1% of registered parties receiving a noise
citation.
In 2023, the total number of noise complaints received by the San Luis Obispo Police Department was
the second lowest year since 2013.
As you can see from the data above, the San Luis Obispo Police Department is not ‘dismissive’ of our residents’
complaints, but unfortunately there are times were residents want to see more enforcement than can legally be
applied. The following chart shows the number of noise complaints the San Luis Obispo Police Department has
received and responded to since 2013.
198
Finally, the quote you are attributing to Chief Scott is not accurate at all regarding our response to noise complaints.
As you can see above, our Officers respond to noise complaints nightly. I am not sure where this quote came from or
if something Chief Scott said was taken out of context and is being reported to you as our generic response to parties,
but that is absolutely untrue.
Thank you.

Dear Mr Scott,
I hope you're well. I'm a reporter with the Daily Mail based in New York.
Today I spoke with a couple of residents from San Luis Obispo about the frat parties they say have been
terrorizing their Alta Vista neighborhood - an area where frat houses are not permitted under zoning laws.
They shared shocking footage of some of the harassment they have endured
(https://howtoruinaneighborhood.com/disruption-retaliation-and-issues/)
One of the residents said the police have been 'dismissive' of their complaints and said the chief told them
'someone would have to die or there would have to be serious property damage' for police to intervene, despite
reporting extreme noise, harassment, and vandalism around their homes several times a week.
I'm getting in touch in case you would like to comment on this - keen to hear your perspective. Please let me
know if you would. If you have a media department where this query would be better directed, please let me
know!
Many thanks,

Dear Mayoress Stewart and Members of the Council:
I endorse the recommendations of the Residents for Quality Neighborhoods in their correspondence to you.
They are thoughtfully conceived for the improved management of our City and its residential neighborhoods. If,
upon reflection, you find the budget would suffer too much constraint in appointing new officers to monitor
noise reduction and abuse of fraternity satellites without documentation, you might consider removing the DEI
Manager's title and duties and rather assign new duties and a new role toward the betterment of the
neighborhoods. You must be aware of the many corporations who have cancelled their DEI budgets toward
more prudent allocation. This does not suggest that the concept of diversity, equity, inclusion would lose its
validity in current and future legislation/discussion.
I have a more immediate concern in proposing more attention and action to creek clearance, something that
has been abandoned for over 2 decades. While homeowners are meant to be responsible for such clearance, it
is not possible for homeowners who are elderly or handicapped to do such clearance as needed. Further, huge
trees have grown in spaces where there were no such species beforehand, like the black walnut overtaking our
creek, at the cost of our willows, native species, and the wildlife: egrets and deer and aquatic life. In view of the
wildfires raging as you meet, and the uncertainty of our climate future, the City should be more pro-active in this

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Hi John,
My name is Kip Stackle, and I’m reaching out on the recommendation of Matt Hernandez, who recently met you
at the FSL Leadership Conference. We are both residents at 281 Hathway Ave. and are facing challenges in
renewing our lease for the '25-'26 school year. The city has labeled our residence as a Fraternity House, which
appears to be the reason for the denial.
I wanted to check if there are any outstanding fines or sanctions on the property that could be preventing us
from renewing our lease. Additionally, we’d appreciate any guidance or steps we can take to address this
situation and work with REG Property Management to secure the lease for next year.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.

Repeat noise violations result in increased fines, and citations can also be sent to property owners, to
help gain compliance from problem locations.
The City has enacted a Safety Enhancement Zone, which effectively doubles fines for quality of life
crimes during peak periods including back-to-school week, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day, as a
deterrent to curb criminal behavior in the neighborhoods.
The Police Department created a party registration program, that allows resident to register a party with
the city, providing a point of contact who can be called should a noise complaint be received. At that
time, the residents have 20 minutes to end the noise, without receiving a citation. This program has
proven to be extremely successful, with approximately 1% of registered parties receiving a noise
citation.
In 2023, the total number of noise complaints received by the San Luis Obispo Police Department was
the second lowest year since 2013.
As you can see from the data above, the San Luis Obispo Police Department is not ‘dismissive’ of our residents’
complaints, but unfortunately there are times were residents want to see more enforcement than can legally be
applied. The following chart shows the number of noise complaints the San Luis Obispo Police Department has
received and responded to since 2013.
208
Finally, the quote you are attributing to Chief Scott is not accurate at all regarding our response to noise complaints.
As you can see above, our Officers respond to noise complaints nightly. I am not sure where this quote came from or
if something Chief Scott said was taken out of context and is being reported to you as our generic response to parties,
but that is absolutely untrue.
Thank you.

Dear Mr Scott,
I hope you're well. I'm a reporter with the Daily Mail based in New York.
Today I spoke with a couple of residents from San Luis Obispo about the frat parties they say have been
terrorizing their Alta Vista neighborhood - an area where frat houses are not permitted under zoning laws.
They shared shocking footage of some of the harassment they have endured
(https://howtoruinaneighborhood.com/disruption-retaliation-and-issues/)
One of the residents said the police have been 'dismissive' of their complaints and said the chief told them
'someone would have to die or there would have to be serious property damage' for police to intervene, despite
reporting extreme noise, harassment, and vandalism around their homes several times a week.
I'm getting in touch in case you would like to comment on this - keen to hear your perspective. Please let me
know if you would. If you have a media department where this query would be better directed, please let me
know!
Many thanks,
Laura Parnaby

SUBJECT: Item 7c, 2025-27 Budget Foundation
Dear Mayor Stewart and Members of the Council,
Residents for Quality Neighborhoods requests the following items be included in the
2025-27 Budget/Financial Plan for the reasons provided. We further request these
items be consolidated under a “Neighborhoods” umbrella and considered a Major City
Goal.
A. Add Community Development positions.
1. Add two Code Enforcement Officers to effectively carry out proactive
enforcement.
Discussion.
Several residential developments have been added since code enforcement staffing
was last reviewed and increased. And the number of fraternity main houses and
212
satellite houses located in the city’s neighborhoods has also increased with
concomitant code enforcement issues. The Community Development Director has
stated there is insufficient Code Enforcement staff to handle the workload. Thus
additional staffing is required to address current code enforcement problems
throughout the city and its neighborhoods.
2. Add one staff position to oversee the enforcement process for fraternity and
sorority use of residential properties.
Discussion.
Identifying residential properties as fraternity or sorority houses and addressing their
code violations is a long and arduous task, especially since Cal Poly has removed all
the street addresses from their AB 524 (2022) Report (Campus Recognized Sorority
& Fraternity Transparency Act). In addition, only a few of the fraternity main houses
and satellite houses have the required Conditional Use Permits. The appropriate
paperwork must be properly completed, but in the past this has not always occurred;
a subject-matter expert performing quality control would alleviate this.
3. Revive the Neighborhood Services Manager position and locate it in the
Community Development Department.
Discussion.
The Neighborhood Services Manager position was previously located in the Police
Department; however, that position has been modified and is now the Police Public
Affairs Manager. Also, previously one of Community Development’s planners was
designated as “the Neighborhood Planner.” This planner was a resource for
residents, providing information when a proposed or new state law would affect
neighborhoods or assisting residents with problem-solving. A new Neighborhood
Services Manager would be able to fill both needs and should also act as an advocate
- much like the City’s Bicycle Coordinator, DEI Manager and Sustainability Manager
do.
B. Add two Community Service Officers (42K’s) to the Police Department for noise
enforcement.
Discussion.
Add two Community Service Officers dedicated to enforcing noise complaints from
Thursday through Sunday. The City of Davis utilized these enforcement officials to
curb their student party noise in neighborhoods and it was very successful. The
additional enforcement personnel will enhance existing enforcement efforts and free
up police officers for higher priority crime response.
C. Following St Fratty’s Day 2025, have the City Manager form a task force to
address concerns surrounding the event.
Discussion.
Cal Poly formed a task force after the 2024 event which gave them a year to put into
place new policies and procedures to address the destructive behaviors that had
occurred, and to train the appropriate personnel on what they were to do. Our city
may be able to benefit from this level of engagement by including personnel from
various departments as well as city residents, and by putting new policies and
procedures in place before the next year’s event occurs.
Request you will favorably consider these recommendations and include them in your
Major City Goals.
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rowley

The short answer is nope.
And the bottom line is, as “superior agency” (State vs. city), we don’t have much leverage. But, council and staff have
been more and more assertive over the last few years that I have been on council (maybe before that too, but I don’t
have that history), trying to negotiate better communication, partnership and action from them. For instance, there has
been regular and detailed communication regarding the upcoming St. Fratty’s Day planning. There are lots of levers
we are trying to push and pull to the best of our ability, but there is still lots of work to do.

Dear Mayor Stewart and Council members,
I second the motion!
We were up till 2 a.m. last night after the party started in the Longview alley. We called the Police
at 10:30 and they were kind, but this is a repeated problem after 46 years of living here, 24 years at
my home on Kentucky Street. WE need more police available to respond to these incredibly loud
parties. You all know Cal Poly only gives lip service. What about you? With all do respect, I know
some of your personally and I’ve met all of you at one time or another. I’m in my 70’s now. I don’t
want to move again, for many reasons, particularly financial. I implore you to please take the
reins, please care about what goes on in Alta Vista neighborhood. Come spend a night in my
ADUas my guest and see and hear for yourselves. It is not pleasant on the nights of the eruptions! I
beg you!

SUBJECT: Item 7c, 2025-27 Budget Foundation
Dear Mayor Stewart and Members of the Council,
Residents for Quality Neighborhoods requests the following items be included in the
2025-27 Budget/Financial Plan for the reasons provided. We further request these
items be consolidated under a “Neighborhoods” umbrella and considered a Major City
Goal.
A. Add Community Development positions.
1. Add two Code Enforcement Officers to effectively carry out proactive
enforcement.
Discussion.
Several residential developments have been added since code enforcement staffing
was last reviewed and increased. And the number of fraternity main houses and
satellite houses located in the city’s neighborhoods has also increased with
concomitant code enforcement issues. The Community Development Director has
stated there is insufficient Code Enforcement staff to handle the workload. Thus
additional staffing is required to address current code enforcement problems
throughout the city and its neighborhoods.
2. Add one staff position to oversee the enforcement process for fraternity and
sorority use of residential properties.
Discussion.
Identifying residential properties as fraternity or sorority houses and addressing their
code violations is a long and arduous task, especially since Cal Poly has removed all
the street addresses from their AB 524 (2022) Report (Campus Recognized Sorority
& Fraternity Transparency Act). In addition, only a few of the fraternity main houses
and satellite houses have the required Conditional Use Permits. The appropriate
paperwork must be properly completed, but in the past this has not always occurred;
a subject-matter expert performing quality control would alleviate this.
3. Revive the Neighborhood Services Manager position and locate it in the
Community Development Department.
Discussion.
The Neighborhood Services Manager position was previously located in the Police
Department; however, that position has been modified and is now the Police Public
Affairs Manager. Also, previously one of Community Development’s planners was
designated as “the Neighborhood Planner.” This planner was a resource for
residents, providing information when a proposed or new state law would affect
neighborhoods or assisting residents with problem-solving. A new Neighborhood
Services Manager would be able to fill both needs and should also act as an advocate
- much like the City’s Bicycle Coordinator, DEI Manager and Sustainability Manager
do.
B. Add two Community Service Officers (42K’s) to the Police Department for noise
enforcement.
Discussion.
Add two Community Service Officers dedicated to enforcing noise complaints from
Thursday through Sunday. The City of Davis utilized these enforcement officials to
curb their student party noise in neighborhoods and it was very successful. The
additional enforcement personnel will enhance existing enforcement efforts and free
up police officers for higher priority crime response.
C. Following St Fratty’s Day 2025, have the City Manager form a task force to
address concerns surrounding the event.
Discussion.
Cal Poly formed a task force after the 2024 event which gave them a year to put into
place new policies and procedures to address the destructive behaviors that had
228
occurred, and to train the appropriate personnel on what they were to do. Our city
may be able to benefit from this level of engagement by including personnel from
various departments as well as city residents, and by putting new policies and
procedures in place before the next year’s event occurs.
Request you will favorably consider these recommendations and include them in your
Major City Goals.
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rowley

RQN,
Thank you for sharing. I listened to the audio version.
Keep up the fight, I guess. But CP is revealing its hands-off approach is not temporary, rather its
permanent. They are not acting as a good neighbor at all!
I believe the City is getting this message too. Can the City revoke its MOUs for all the services it
provides to the campus? That would up the conflict, up the ante.
Students seem to believe they have a right to act like drunken idiots whereever they are. This is not a
scholarly attitude. Cal Poly should be more concerned about its reputation as a "party school." I pity
those who live in my old Alta Vista neighborhood, where peopole like the Walkers have to put up with

Dear RQN Members and Friends,
An excellent, well-researched article by Sadie Dittenber regarding the existence of fraternities in our single-
family (R-1) and medium density (R-2) housing areas... and how they affect those neighborhoods was in the
January 5, 2024 edition of The Tribune. A portion of the article also discusses St Fratty's Day, a made-up
student holiday that occurs near St. Patrick's Day, and the damage and destruction that ensues.
For those of you who may have missed the article or who do not subscribe to the paper or the digital copy, here
is a link to that article: https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/education/cal-poly-
university/article295948429.html
Alternate link: If the other one doesn't work for you, this one will: https://archive.is/e1mK5
In the article Mayor Stewart commented that Cal Poly built a task force to address the concerns around St.
Fratty’s Day after the March 2024 event’s escalation, but that the university didn’t include anyone from the city
on that task force until October. What she didn't mention was that the City did not, and has not, created their
own task force to address problems that the event created within the city's neighborhoods.
Unfortunately, as Cal Poly continues to grow without adding more on-campus housing, more and more
neighborhoods will be affected by noise and, regrettably, vandalism. In 2015 I and others attended a meeting
to review Cal Poly's Master Plan Update; it included additional on-campus housing as well as a Greek Row. That
Master Plan Update has not been completed/approved - and now we are being told it will be 10 more years
before on-campus housing will be constructed - all the while adding 300-500 new students per year.
You may provide this information to whomever you wish... and thank you for your concern about your
neighborhoods.

address current code enforcement problems throughout the city and its neighborhoods.
2. Add one staff position to oversee the enforcement process for fraternity and sorority use of residential
properties.
Discussion.
Identifying residential properties as fraternity or sorority houses and addressing their code violations is a long
and arduous task, especially since Cal Poly has removed all the street addresses from their AB 524 (2022) Report
(Campus Recognized Sorority & Fraternity Transparency Act). In addition, only a few of the fraternity main
houses and satellite houses have the required Conditional Use Permits. The appropriate paperwork must be
properly completed, but in the past this has not always occurred; a subject-matter expert performing quality
control would alleviate this.
3. Revive the Neighborhood Services Manager position and locate it in the Community Development
Department.
Discussion.
The Neighborhood Services Manager position was previously located in the Police Department; however, that
position has been modified and is now the Police Public Affairs Manager. Also, previously one of Community
Development’s planners was designated as “the Neighborhood Planner.” This planner was a resource for
residents, providing information when a proposed or new state law would affect neighborhoods or assisting
residents with problem-solving. A new Neighborhood Services Manager would be able to fill both needs and
should also act as an advocate - much like the City’s Bicycle Coordinator, DEI Manager and Sustainability
Manager do.
B. Add two Community Service Officers (42K’s) to the Police Department for noise enforcement.
Discussion.
Add two Community Service Officers dedicated to enforcing noise complaints from Thursday through
Sunday. The City of Davis utilized these enforcement officials to curb their student party noise in neighborhoods
and it was very successful. The additional enforcement personnel will enhance existing enforcement efforts and
free up police officers for higher priority crime response.
C. Following St Fratty’s Day 2025, have the City Manager form a task force to address concerns surrounding the
event.
Discussion.
Cal Poly formed a task force after the 2024 event which gave them a year to put into place new policies and
243
procedures to address the destructive behaviors that had occurred, and to train the appropriate personnel on
what they were to do. Our city may be able to benefit from this level of engagement by including personnel from
various departments as well as city residents, and by putting new policies and procedures in place before the
next year’s event occurs.
Request you will favorably consider these recommendations and include them in your Major City Goals.
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rowley
Chairperson, RQN

Subject:Re: Cal Poly Winter Fraternity Rush (in Our Neighborhood)
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Yes, I have considered that. Believe me, I am a problem-solver and have
analyzed this problem and potential solutions for at least two years. I've written down thoughts and charts and
analyzed the problem in every way possible. I am a certified paralegal and worked for an attorney in town (she's
now a judge) and I keep going back to my legal training to research and look for a logical solution, considering all
the facts.
If the city doesn't pursue the addresses, the outcome is that the fraternities will continue to operate with
impunity.
If the city does pursue the addresses, it holds the current houses accountable. Eventually, the house
should be shut down because the city is working toward that goal.
There will always be some means to communicate the addresses to new rush recruits, and Cal Poly knows
where those events are happening. The events have been registered and the business cards have been printed.
If they stop passing out business cards, they will still need to get the information to potential new members
somehow and when/if that happens, we can cross that bridge and find a way to access that information. But
let's concentrate on the here and now.
Many of these illegal fraternities have been operating for several years and their landlords know but allow it to
continue. If the city continued to cite them, eventually, the fraternities may put pressure on Cal Poly to provide
them housing e.g. build a Greek Row. That's not really something that the city should be worried about, and the
primary focus should be on educating property owners and getting the illegal fraternity operations out of the
residential neighborhoods.
The fraternities operating in R-3 and R-4 zones without permits should apply for CUPs so there are conditions for
their use.
During a planning commission meeting, the commissioners asked city staff if Code Enforcement was
communicating with SLOPD and vice versa. Staff told them that they were not, and the commissioners said that
needs to change ASAP! It's been months and nothing has changed. SLOPD knows where the houses are and I've
repeatedly provided code enforcement with documentation of their addresses and operation, including new
houses that have popped up in our neighborhood. Yet not a single one has been shut down.
What other solution do you suggest?
Cal Poly is not going to help the city fix this problem. They have made that abundantly clear to me for the past
two years. They have also made it clear through their actions with the city, in failing to cooperate or disclose the
addresses of its illegal fraternity houses.
Cal Poly has the records of those addresses and is sanctioning events in our neighborhood, including last night,
where there were "exchanges" with sororities, which is essentially a party at a fraternity house hosting a sorority
250
Cal Poly has the same attitude about St. Fratty's Day and is fortifying the campus but is not helping with the
neighborhood plan. That's a different subject but illustrates that Cal Poly's primary interest is Cal Poly - not the
neighborhood. It's the city's responsibility to take care of the neighborhood, and Cal Poly has outright said that
multiple times.
I have also sent public records requests to Cal Poly and they have erroneously denied them.
First, they said disclosure would violate privacy laws and I responded with a legal brief, citing their errors and
pointing out that disclosing the addresses does not violate any privacy laws because I was not seeking any
"personally identifiable information" specific to a particular student. That's the standard of FERPA, the federal
law that protects students' privacy.
In response, to my brief and second request, they claimed that fraternities are "independent organizations"
from Cal Poly, therefore are not subject to the Public Records Act. This is not true, of course. Greek Life has
employees paid for by tax dollars and is integrated into Cal Poly's system. I provided another brief, disputing
their claim with case law that shows Greek life is subject to the Public Records Act, and did not hear back. The
lack of response is a violation of law but Cal Poly does not seem to care.
I narrowed my third request and they responded that they would provide information but never did. I followed up
and did not hear back.
I believe the reporter for The Tribune is doing a follow-up article because there is a lot of information and she
was limited by words/space, but there is a lot more to this story, as you know.
The only way to solve this problem is for the city to pursue the illegal fraternity houses and their property
owners. The city should get the addresses by any means necessary. The city should request the records of the
addresses from Cal Poly, and if they deny the request, the city attorney should file a Writ of Mandate to compel
them to disclose the addresses. The judge would 100% side with the city. It may also compel Cal Poly to act on
this matter in a meaningful way. In previous years, the city attorney did prosecute illegal fraternities and the
results were swift. SLOPD, code enforcement, and the city attorney worked together. I'm not sure why the city
attorney has declined to do so with all the documentation that has been provided and also don't understand
why SLOPD and code enforcement have not shared information about known illegal fraternity houses.
Please let me know what solutions you have in mind. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Best Regards,
Kathie

am about to say, but…do you ever wonder if, the harder we try to get information about upcoming parties by

communications underground and make the parties and activities harder to predict in advance? It seems to
me that this is at least partially why the student groups are not sharing info via social media now, and using this
business card tactic.

Just thinking out loud here. And I hope you know that I agree…we need Cal Poly’s help with this to be as

Hi Timmi,
Thank you for the email. Have you considered having someone attend the rush recruitment BBQ at Dexter Lawn
on 1/16 from 4 pm - 7 pm, and getting the business cards that each fraternity passes out that list the dates,
times, and addresses of the recruitment events during the first weekend of rush? Many of those addresses are
illegal fraternities in our neighborhood. They are printed on business cards at each of the fraternity's booths.
In the fall of 2024, I did all the legwork and provided you with the dates, times, and addresses of rush
recruitment events in our neighborhood. I submitted many of them to AskSLO ahead of time and subsequently
took photos to document every event listed in my previous email. Unfortunately, they were not followed up by
the city during the date and time listed on the rush cards. All of these houses continue to operate as
fraternities, hosting unruly events.
We have reached such a critical point that the city should be proactively seeking the addresses of the illegal
fraternities in the city's neighborhoods. It is obvious that Cal Poly does not care about the problem or our
neighborhood. They are not going to solve this problem for you. Collecting the rush cards from the fraternity
booths on Dexter Lawn on 1/16 is one easy way to get the addresses ahead of time and possibly circumvent the
problem. Or, at the very least, cite the illegal fraternity operations. I hope you will consider following through on
this.
Have a great weekend,

Subject: Cal Poly Winter Fraternity Rush (in Our Neighborhood)
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear City Leadership,
Cal Poly's fraternity rush for the winter quarter will be on the weekends of January 17-19
and January 24 - 26. Bid night, where the new pledges are officially recognized, is January
253
27. (The big celebrations will start on subsequent weekends, as new pledges are
indoctrinated into the fraternities, so there will be a lot of noisy parties.)
Cal Poly is using the same "secret" method they used in the fall which is a new procedure
since the city's code enforcement contacted Greek life administration and told them that
fraternity events are not legally allowed in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods. This newly adopted
method keeps the addresses of events hidden from the public and the city.
In previous years, fraternities posted their rush schedules on Instagram weeks beforehand,
but since the code enforcement contacted Cal Poly last spring, most fraternities stopped
doing that. Now, the addresses, dates, and times for rush events held by the 18 Cal Poly
fraternities are handed out to PNMs on business cards at a BBQ held on Dexter Lawn on
January 16. Here is the schedule:
The potential new members (PNM) must register through the Interfraternity Council and
attend an informational session on Saturday, January 11.
The recruitment BBQ is on Dexter Lawn on January 16 and each fraternity will pass out
business cards with the addresses, dates, and times of their rush events to PNMs. Most of
the addresses on those cards are illegal fraternities operating in our neighborhood.
Open rush events are January 17 - 19, Invitee-only rush events are January 24-26, and Bid
night is January 27.
254
During the fall, recruitment events for Cal Poly's fraternities were held at the unpermitted
addresses listed at the bottom of this email. This is not a complete list but are the addresses
posted on Instagram days before the events. Many were reported by me to SLO code
enforcement via AskSLO but, unfortunately, were not responded to during the date and time
listed so were not found to be in violation. These fraternities continue to operate illegally and
host sororities at these locations.
Please flag these addresses, do not allow them to register parties, and do not send SNAP if a
complaint is made to SLOPD. Also, please take this matter seriously, cite the illegal
fraternities, and get them out of our neighborhood. Cal Poly is not going to solve this
problem! They made that clear in their statements to the Tribune reporter in yesterday's
article. The illegal fraternities are within the city limits, and the city needs to handle it. This
issue has gone on for too long and is unfair to those who want and/or need the peaceful
enjoyment of their property in a residential neighborhood.

times, and addresses of the recruitment events during the first weekend of rush? Many of those addresses are
illegal fraternities in our neighborhood. They are printed on business cards at each of the fraternity's booths.
In the fall of 2024, I did all the legwork and provided you with the dates, times, and addresses of rush
recruitment events in our neighborhood. I submitted many of them to AskSLO ahead of time and subsequently
took photos to document every event listed in my previous email. Unfortunately, they were not followed up by
the city during the date and time listed on the rush cards. All of these houses continue to operate as fraternities,
hosting unruly events.
We have reached such a critical point that the city should be proactively seeking the addresses of the illegal
fraternities in the city's neighborhoods. It is obvious that Cal Poly does not care about the problem or our
neighborhood. They are not going to solve this problem for you. Collecting the rush cards from the fraternity
booths on Dexter Lawn on 1/16 is one easy way to get the addresses ahead of time and possibly circumvent the
problem. Or, at the very least, cite the illegal fraternity operations. I hope you will consider following through on
this.
Have a great weekend,
Kathie

Hi Kathie,
Thank you for your email and for this information. I have passed this on to Code Enforcement and we will be adding
these notes to our system if it includes information that we do not already have. As always, we will follow up on any

Thanks John. I'll defer to Timmi, but I do think it makes sense for CDD to take a the lead on letters, especially since CDD
has more authority in this area than Finance does. But, we are absolutely available to assist where needed.
Correct- we should be providing regular updates (I think we had decided to do them monthly) of active business licenses
and homestay permits. I had asked Jacob to send data on both to Rentalscape and understood that was what had
happened, but that may not be the case. I will look through his email account to try to verify and let the group know.

Steve and I discussed this email yesterday. If you both agree, I think it would be in our court to come up with the letter

be the business license list…should we be providing a list of Homestay Permits instead (or at least in addition to)?
I can follow up with Josh on this if that’s helpful.

Subject:Re: Fraternities
Hi Stephanie,
If a fraternity is operating without a permit we typically start with our standard escalating fine schedule of $100
for the first violation, $200 for the second, $500 for the third/each subsequent violation. There is the possibility
that a property can be declared a public nuisance per SLOMC 8.24 for more than two loud or unruly
assemblages in any sixty-day period that threatens the public peace, health, safety or general welfare and
requires a police response to control the threat to the public peace, health, safety, or general welfare. This
may result in some form of abatement but cannot say it would necessarily result in ordering the property
vacated. I am not aware of any recorded examples of the nuisance process being used in this manner.
In response to your second question, fraternity members can live in a residence in any zone and still be in
compliance with city code. In order to determine that a location is in violation of municipal code, we would
need to show that the use of the property meets the city’s definition of a fraternity/sorority. The definition
requires that fraternity members live on site AND that the association holds meetings or gatherings at the
location:
Fraternities and Sororities. Residence for college or university students who are members of a social or
educational association that is affiliated and in good standing with the California Polytechnic State University
and where such an association also holds meetings or gatherings.
I hope this answers your questions. Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Hello!
I'm the opinion editor at The Tribune and am following up on Sadie's story on fraternities. She suggested you
might be able to help me with a few questions:
If a fraternity is operating in an unpermitted zone and is holding events in violation of city code, is a fine (or
repeated fines) the only recourse? Can a fraternity ever be evicted?
Also, if a frat is in an unpermitted location but does not have events that lead to complaints, is it operating
within the law?
If you could possibly get back to me by around 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, that would be great.
I can be reached by return email or on my cell,
Thanks so much,
Stephanie Finucane

Thank you, Emily.
I think the city has become numb to the situation. My husband made the analogy of the boiling frog syndrome on
his website HowToRuinANeighborhood.com.. Since The Tribune article was published, we have had news
organizations contact us from across the country about this story, which shows that the problem is extreme and
not normal. Also, a filmmaker who has won 3 Emmys for his documentaries reached out to the Tribune reporter
for our contact information and we are meeting with him next week.
While Cal Poly is part of the problem, the city also has an important role in solving the issue but they have
essentially ignored it, including code enforcement and SLOPD. It's complicated but it could have been handled
much differently and didn't need to get to this point.
Thank you for your advocacy.

Thank you for all your diligent work dealing with these issues.
I’m heartened to see your plea for the public to advocate for a focus on neighborhood wellness is gaining traction.
I was deeply troubled by Cal Poly’s response to the article. Frankly, there is much they can and should do to alleviate
impacts to the neighborhoods from their Greek organizations and I had hoped that our engagement with them over
the last year was moving us towards a more cooperative approach to the problem. I’m in the process of working with
staff to rethink how we handle these issues and the permitting of fraternities in general. With the understanding that I
am only one of the 5 councilmembers, I hope that we will reach some consensus on this issue during our goal setting
process and develop better policies to address what you’re experiencing.
Please stay in touch as we navigate these next steps.
Take care,

Subject:RE: Cal Poly Winter Fraternity Rush (in Our Neighborhood)
Kathie,
Thank you for all your diligent work dealing with these issues.
I’m heartened to see your plea for the public to advocate for a focus on neighborhood wellness is gaining traction.
I was deeply troubled by Cal Poly’s response to the article. Frankly, there is much they can and should do to alleviate
impacts to the neighborhoods from their Greek organizations and I had hoped that our engagement with them over the
last year was moving us towards a more cooperative approach to the problem. I’m in the process of working with staff
to rethink how we handle these issues and the permitting of fraternities in general. With the understanding that I am
only one of the 5 councilmembers, I hope that we will reach some consensus on this issue during our goal setting
process and develop better policies to address what you’re experiencing.
Please stay in touch as we navigate these next steps.
Take care,
Emily

Subject: Cal Poly Winter Fraternity Rush (in Our Neighborhood)
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear City Leadership,
Cal Poly's fraternity rush for the winter quarter will be on the weekends of January 17-19 and
January 24 - 26. Bid night, where the new pledges are officially recognized, is January 27.
(The big celebrations will start on subsequent weekends, as new pledg es are indoctrinated into
the fraternities, so there will be a lot of noisy parties.)
Cal Poly is using the same "secret" method they used in the fall which is a new procedure
since the city's code enforcement contacted Greek life administration and told them that
fraternity events are not legally allowed in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods. This newly adopted
method keeps the addresses of events hidden from the public and the city.
In previous years, fraternities posted their rush schedules on Instagram weeks beforehand,
but since the code enforcement contacted Cal Poly last spring, most fraternities stopped doing
that. Now, the addresses, dates, and times for rush events held by the 18 Cal Poly fraternities
are handed out to PNMs on business cards at a BBQ held on Dexter Lawn on January 16. Here
is the schedule:
285
The potential new members (PNM) must register through the Interfraternity Council and
attend an informational session on Saturday, January 11.
The recruitment BBQ is on Dexter Lawn on January 16 and each fraternity will pass out
business cards with the addresses, dates, and times of their rush events to PNMs. Most of the
addresses on those cards are illegal fraternities operating in our neighborhood.
Open rush events are January 17 - 19, Invitee-only rush events are January 24-26, and Bid
night is January 27.
During the fall, recruitment events for Cal Poly's fraternities were held at the unpermitted
addresses listed at the bottom of this email. This is not a complete list but are the addresses
posted on Instagram days before the events. Many were reported by me to SLO code
enforcement via AskSLO but, unfortunately, were not responded to during the date and time
listed so were not found to be in violation. These fraternities continue to operate illegally and
host sororities at these locations.
Please flag these addresses, do not allow them to register parties, and do not send SNAP if a
complaint is made to SLOPD. Also, please take this matter seriously, cite the illegal
fraternities, and get them out of our neighborhood. Cal Poly is not going to solve this
problem! They made that clear in their statements to the Tribune reporter in yesterday's
286
article. The illegal fraternities are within the city limits, and the city needs to handle it. This
issue has gone on for too long and is unfair to those who want and/or need the peaceful
enjoyment of their property in a residential neighborhood.
Thank you,
Kathie Walker

Hi Mayor (again),
Side note – both Halloween and Rush were managed very well without any significant issues. Yes, we see a higher
number of calls (whole city), but it is not just Cal Poly students who have Halloween parties. Rush was a non-event for
us as I believe those must be dry events according to the school.

Subject: RE: Consequences of inaction to quell "St. Fratties Days"
Hi Mayor,
This is an unfortunate email from Stew and I do not agree that we have done anything less than our absolute best
given the resources available. The purpose of the meeting with RQN was to review our plan and seek their input as
we had last year. However, we did not share with RQN or the Grand Jury a written event operational plan as it is still in
development and confidential. Our plan details the specific number of resources, where, and when they will be
stationed. This information could be very harmful to our efforts to control this event if released to the public.
What we did advise them is there would be more officers, tighter perimeter, earlier enforcement, and joint community
outreach with Cal Poly leading up to the event. The first use of “strike teams” were very successful, so our intent is to
have more teams to address growing crowds and to have a tighter perimeter to attempt to keep people from entering
and congregating in the neighborhood. The plan is to take the street back as soon as possible and in the safest
manner we can.
Here were the talking points I submitted for you before the Grand Jury:
The Police Department is determined to safely control and to end this non-sanctioned street party. Specific tactical
plans are not shared out to the community as I informed the Grand Jury during my interview however, we are
heavily invested in the following strategies:
Accountability - The expansion of the safety enhancement zone will again provide greater tools to deter
attendance and hold significantly accountable those violating our laws. The department is coordinating with
a broad array of law enforcement partners to assist and again increase our police numbers this year to
afford even more enforcement over years prior. This will likely increase both number of arrests and
citations issued.
Learning/Improving – Auditing other campuses to learn from their successes and failures in responding to
mass nuisance events. Leveraging what worked and avoiding what did not work in their incidents, as well
as our own.
Communication/Education - Early and often public communication regarding the consequences of
attending this illegal event will be shared out with our community, as well as other college locations across
the state that have a history of attending. In addition, we’ll continue to use targeted communication to the
members of the Greek organizations, ASI, and Panhellenic leadership.
Cooperation/Partnership - Cal Poly has invited the department to be part of the St. Patrick’s Day Task
Force to exchange ideas on enforcement, deterrence, and education so they are better able to protect the
campus and we can bring more resources to bear to protect our community. Working closely with
neighborhood groups and the Cal Poly Student Community Liaison Committee (SCLC) which directly
interfaces with City, neighborhoods and community leadership, and Cal Poly to work toward a collective
end to the disruption and property damage this event causes.
Here is some other work we had discussed:
Cal Poly Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR) receives a weekly arrest record every Monday
from SLOPD that includes all people we have arrested in the last 7 days. If they have students on that list, they
will in turn send a Public Records Act request for the arrest summary for their own disciplinary purposes.
OSRR also receives every Monday a noise warning and citation report of all locations/recipients of a noise
violation from the last 7 days. This does not specify between Greek affiliated students or not, it is for all
transactions. However, if we observe there are properties that are receiving many noise violation citations in a
short amount of time, we assign police officers to that house for a “sober hours” visit to do additional education
to the property occupants in hopes of voluntary compliance.
298
o For noise or unruly gathering citations, OSRR sends an email to the student with a reminder about
neighborhood civility.
o If a frequent noise citation house is a known fraternity or sorority house, we connect with the Cal Poly
Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) director and ask for FSL to help in addressing the behavior.
o If the property is an IFC fraternity, the information will be passed onto the IFC judicial board and be
addressed as they see fit.
Thank you and please let me know if you need anthing else to assist.

________________________________
Good afternoon, Mayor Stewart,
I was heartened by your attendance with Chief Scott and Assistant Chief
Mikel at the December meeting of Residents for Quality Neighborhoods
Board. However, the Chief's express plan of inaction, supported by
yourself as Mayor, did not bode well for the coming years. Denial and
deflection regarding dangers and lack of response the most recent
documented action of ruffians beating on doors and windows, and climbing
on the roof of female college students cowering in their rented home did
nothing to raise confidence that life, limb and property will be protected.
NOW, due to that expressed denial of police department protection, I
understand that is selling the home in the neighborhood that the
police department, with the complicity of the Council, no longer
shelters. Given the doubling of St. Fratties day ruffians gathering in
those neighborhoods each year it is only a matter of months until
injuries will multiply and homes along with lives in the area will be lost.
I sincerely hope that you, and your collegues, will amend your thinking
to take action and give direction and the needed funds to provide
sufficient police and fire presence to end the ransacking that now
regularly happens in those neighborhood on St. Fratties day, Rush Week,
and Halloweekends.

receiving regular complaints related to parties/suspected fraternity events. Here’s the link to the files

Christine Wallace, Public Affairs Manager for SLOPD pulled these records together. I believe you talked
with her before. Christine said that if you had any specific questions, she would be happy to walk you

Subject: Cal Poly Winter Fraternity Rush (in Our Neighborhood)
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear City Leadership,
Cal Poly's fraternity rush for the winter quarter will be on the weekends of January 17-19 and
January 24 - 26. Bid night, where the new pledges are officially recognized, is January 27.
(The big celebrations will start on subsequent weekends, as new pledg es are indoctrinated into
the fraternities, so there will be a lot of noisy parties.)
Cal Poly is using the same "secret" method they used in the fall which is a new procedure
since the city's code enforcement contacted Greek life administration and told them that
fraternity events are not legally allowed in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods. This newly adopted
method keeps the addresses of events hidden from the public and the city.
In previous years, fraternities posted their rush schedules on Instagram weeks beforehand,
but since the code enforcement contacted Cal Poly last spring, most fraternities stopped doing
that. Now, the addresses, dates, and times for rush events held by the 18 Cal Poly fraternities
are handed out to PNMs on business cards at a BBQ held on Dexter Lawn on January 16. Here
is the schedule:
The potential new members (PNM) must register through the Interfraternity Council and
attend an informational session on Saturday, January 11.
The recruitment BBQ is on Dexter Lawn on January 16 and each fraternity will pass out
business cards with the addresses, dates, and times of their rush events to PNMs. Most of the
addresses on those cards are illegal fraternities operating in our neighborhood.
306
Open rush events are January 17 - 19, Invitee-only rush events are January 24-26, and Bid
night is January 27.
During the fall, recruitment events for Cal Poly's fraternities were held at the unpermitted
addresses listed at the bottom of this email. This is not a complete list but are the addresses
posted on Instagram days before the events. Many were reported by me to SLO code
enforcement via AskSLO but, unfortunately, were not responded to during the date and time
listed so were not found to be in violation. These fraternities continue to operate illegally and
host sororities at these locations.
Please flag these addresses, do not allow them to register parties, and do not send SNAP if a
complaint is made to SLOPD. Also, please take this matter seriously, cite the illegal
fraternities, and get them out of our neighborhood. Cal Poly is not going to solve this
problem! They made that clear in their statements to the Tribune reporter in yesterday's
article. The illegal fraternities are within the city limits, and the city needs to handle it. This
issue has gone on for too long and is unfair to those who want and/or need the peaceful
enjoyment of their property in a residential neighborhood.
Thank you,
Kathie Walker

Good evening Laura,
Thank you for reaching out regarding issues and frustrations being reported by a few homeowners living in our
community. The San Luis Obispo Police Department takes neighborhood civility very seriously and have dedicated
countless hours of education and enforcement to reduce disruptions in the neighborhoods surrounding Cal Poly
University. As is common in many cities that are adjacent to major universities, there is often friction between college
students and full-time residents in these neighborhoods.
Here are a few examples of how the San Luis Obispo Police Department has responded to noise complaints:
The City of San Luis Obispo has a comprehensive noise abatement program that outlines guidelines for
what constitutes a noise violation. Our Officers respond to noise complaints, and issue citations as
appropriate based on observed behavior, with fines starting at $350 and rising to $1000 for continued
violations.
The City has implemented a law for “Unruly Gatherings” which result in greater legal penalties for the
violator.
Repeat noise violations result in increased fines, and citations can also be sent to property owners, to
help gain compliance from problem locations.
The City has enacted a Safety Enhancement Zone, which effectively doubles fines for nuisance order
crimes during peak periods including back-to-school week, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day, as a
deterrent to curb criminal behavior in the neighborhoods.
The Police Department created a party registration program in 2017, that allows resident to register a
party with the city, providing a point of contact who can be called should a noise complaint be received.
At that time, the residents have 20 minutes to end the noise, without receiving a citation. This program
has proven to be extremely successful, with only 1% of registered parties receiving a noise citation in
2024.
In 2023 (the most recent annual data available), the total number of noise complaints received by the
San Luis Obispo Police Department was the second lowest year since 2013.
The San Luis Obispo Police Department is not ‘dismissive’ of our residents’ complaints, but unfortunately there are
times were residents want to see more enforcement than can legally be applied. The following chart shows the
number of noisy party complaints the San Luis Obispo Police Department has received and responded to since 2013
and the steady progress that continues to be made, in partnership with our community.
309
Lastly, the quote you are attributing to Chief Scott is not accurate at all regarding our response to noise complaints;
our Officers respond to noise complaints nightly. I am unsure where this quote came from or if something Chief Scott
said was taken out of context and is being reported to you as our generic response to parties, but that is absolutely
untrue.
Thank you.

Dear Mr Scott,
I hope you're well. I'm a reporter with the Daily Mail based in New York.
Today I spoke with a couple of residents from San Luis Obispo about the frat parties they say have been
terrorizing their Alta Vista neighborhood - an area where frat houses are not permitted under zoning laws.
They shared shocking footage of some of the harassment they have endured
(https://howtoruinaneighborhood.com/disruption-retaliation-and-issues/)
One of the residents said the police have been 'dismissive' of their complaints and said the chief told them
'someone would have to die or there would have to be serious property damage' for police to intervene, despite
reporting extreme noise, harassment, and vandalism around their homes several times a week.
I'm getting in touch in case you would like to comment on this - keen to hear your perspective. Please let me
know if you would. If you have a media department where this query would be better directed, please let me

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear Mr Scott,
I hope you're well. I'm a reporter with the Daily Mail based in New York.
Today I spoke with a couple of residents from San Luis Obispo about the frat parties they say have been
terrorizing their Alta Vista neighborhood - an area where frat houses are not permitted under zoning laws.
They shared shocking footage of some of the harassment they have endured
(https://howtoruinaneighborhood.com/disruption-retaliation-and-issues/)
One of the residents said the police have been 'dismissive' of their complaints and said the chief told them
'someone would have to die or there would have to be serious property damage' for police to intervene, despite
reporting extreme noise, harassment, and vandalism around their homes several times a week.
I'm getting in touch in case you would like to comment on this - keen to hear your perspective. Please let me
know if you would. If you have a media department where this query would be better directed, please let me
know!
Many thanks,
Laura Parnaby

Subject: Cal Poly Winter Fraternity Rush (in Our Neighborhood)
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear City Leadership,
Cal Poly's fraternity rush for the winter quarter will be on the weekends of January 17-19 and
January 24 - 26. Bid night, where the new pledges are officially recognized, is January 27.
(The big celebrations will start on subsequent weekends, as new pledg es are indoctrinated into
the fraternities, so there will be a lot of noisy parties.)
Cal Poly is using the same "secret" method they used in the fall which is a new procedure
since the city's code enforcement contacted Greek life administration and told them that
fraternity events are not legally allowed in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods. This newly adopted
method keeps the addresses of events hidden from the public and the city.
In previous years, fraternities posted their rush schedules on Instagram weeks beforehand,
but since the code enforcement contacted Cal Poly last spring, most fraternities stopped doing
that. Now, the addresses, dates, and times for rush events held by the 18 Cal Poly fraternities
are handed out to PNMs on business cards at a BBQ held on Dexter Lawn on January 16. Here
is the schedule:
The potential new members (PNM) must register through the Interfraternity Council and
attend an informational session on Saturday, January 11.
The recruitment BBQ is on Dexter Lawn on January 16 and each fraternity will pass out
business cards with the addresses, dates, and times of their rush events to PNMs. Most of the
addresses on those cards are illegal fraternities operating in our neighborhood.
Open rush events are January 17 - 19, Invitee-only rush events are January 24-26, and Bid
night is January 27.
335
During the fall, recruitment events for Cal Poly's fraternities were held at the unpermitted
addresses listed at the bottom of this email. This is not a complete list but are the addresses
posted on Instagram days before the events. Many were reported by me to SLO code
enforcement via AskSLO but, unfortunately, were not responded to during the date and time
listed so were not found to be in violation. These fraternities continue to operate illegally and
host sororities at these locations.
Please flag these addresses, do not allow them to register parties, and do not send SNAP if a
complaint is made to SLOPD. Also, please take this matter seriously, cite the illegal
fraternities, and get them out of our neighborhood. Cal Poly is not going to solve this
problem! They made that clear in their statements to the Tribune reporter in yesterday's
article. The illegal fraternities are within the city limits, and the city needs to handle it. This
issue has gone on for too long and is unfair to those who want and/or need the peaceful
enjoyment of their property in a residential neighborhood.
Thank you,
Kathie Walker

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear City Leadership,
Cal Poly's fraternity rush for the winter quarter will be on the weekends of January 17-19 and
January 24 - 26. Bid night, where the new pledges are officially recognized, is January 27.
(The big celebrations will start on subsequent weekends, as new pledg es are indoctrinated into
the fraternities, so there will be a lot of noisy parties.)
Cal Poly is using the same "secret" method they used in the fall which is a new procedure
since the city's code enforcement contacted Greek life administration and told them that
fraternity events are not legally allowed in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods. This newly adopted
method keeps the addresses of events hidden from the public and the city.
In previous years, fraternities posted their rush schedules on Instagram weeks beforehand,
but since the code enforcement contacted Cal Poly last spring, most fraternities stopped doing
that. Now, the addresses, dates, and times for rush events held by the 18 Cal Poly fraternities
are handed out to PNMs on business cards at a BBQ held on Dexter Lawn on January 16. Here
is the schedule:
The potential new members (PNM) must register through the Interfraternity Council and
attend an informational session on Saturday, January 11.
The recruitment BBQ is on Dexter Lawn on January 16 and each fraternity will pass out
business cards with the addresses, dates, and times of their rush events to PNMs. Most of the
addresses on those cards are illegal fraternities operating in our neighborhood.
Open rush events are January 17 - 19, Invitee-only rush events are January 24-26, and Bid
night is January 27.
355
During the fall, recruitment events for Cal Poly's fraternities were held at the unpermitted
addresses listed at the bottom of this email. This is not a complete list but are the addresses
posted on Instagram days before the events. Many were reported by me to SLO code
enforcement via AskSLO but, unfortunately, were not responded to during the date and time
listed so were not found to be in violation. These fraternities continue to operate illegally and
host sororities at these locations.
Please flag these addresses, do not allow them to register parties, and do not send SNAP if a
complaint is made to SLOPD. Also, please take this matter seriously, cite the illegal
fraternities, and get them out of our neighborhood. Cal Poly is not going to solve this
problem! They made that clear in their statements to the Tribune reporter in yesterday's
article. The illegal fraternities are within the city limits, and the city needs to handle it. This
issue has gone on for too long and is unfair to those who want and/or need the peaceful
enjoyment of their property in a residential neighborhood.
Thank you,
Kathie Walker

Subject:Re: St. Fratty’s
Hi Emily,
Sorry I have been so tardy in responding to your question as I could not find the history of when R-1 might
have been changed to R-2. However, the article in the Tribune today describing the Alta Vista
neighborhood indicates that most of the parcels that I have been hearing about represent a R-1
designation. That fits into my main point which has now been further exacerbated by the fraternity
intrusion.
My suggestion remains in consulting with towns/small cities which also have colleges and face
similar challenges. To the extent that we seem to be blind-sided by our enthusiasm in creating more
housing units, we may not be aware of effective strategies as they may not be growth/density promoters.
Other 'quality of life' small towns may have taken innovative strategies that apply even though they do not
provide additional student housing and/or density.
The discussion today on Nextdoor was quite informative for those of us who do not live in that particular
neighborhood.
Thanks for listening,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for reaching out. The St Fratty’s events this year were beyond disappointing. I’ve been actively advocating for
us to get ahead of this event and I will say that the one positive outcome of the size of the crowd this year, is that
containment is no longer an option.
I’d be interested to hear more about how you see zoning and housing initiatives having impacted this event. I
understand that the make up of the neighborhoods have shifted, but the zoning is predominantly R-2. I look forward to
hearing more from you.
Take care,
Emily

Subject: St. Fratty’s
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
I have several suggestions to consider in your review of the Saint Fratty’s problem.
First, our city leaders could benefit from joining a coalition of similar small towns that let unsustainable growth of their local
colleges lead to their unwanted transformation into a “college town” where events like this become commonplace and
tolerated.
Secondly, St. Fratty’s is as much a consequence of zoning issues and a consequence of housing initiatives that overlooked the
fact that they enable these kinds of problems. Encouraging student dominated enclaves adjacent to the university was destined
to produce the kinds of problems we saw last weekend.
Those campus surrounding areas were once viable neighborhoods with a mix of families, older residents, professionals, and
students. A vibrant mix — within a larger town — not yet a ‘college town,’ but a synergistic relationship that made San Luis
Obispo a great place to live.
Thirdly, is the ‘elephant in the room’: When you go from a ‘right sized’ university for the size of a town, to a town dominated by
the demands of a rapidly growing university- with housing demands exceeding the capacity of the town, with bars becoming the
major growth industry, and now eyed as a growth inducer for profit minded entrepreneurs, you get the “college town” we’ve
become.
The interests of the university become paramount and the city seemingly looks the other way with transgressions that normally
would be treated as crimes… and apparently ignoring violations of zoning and other ordinances that create the context/enablers
for all kinds of mischief.
Yes, we dodged another bullet - no serious injuries or deaths — like the garage roof collapse miracle a few years ago. With the
constant turnover of the student population, the lessons learned then apparently did not carry over to this ‘generation.’
361
While it’s easy to conclude that this mess has just been self-inflicted by short-sighted city councils, the grim reality was that CSU
and the state decided to grow Cal Poly regardless of what the community members thought or what was in the best interest of
the community for equitable growth and housing.
Lack of state sympathy or assistance is why it is probably better to look to other communities that are also struggling with the
same issues — that go beyond the partying incidents - and that got them into this predicament — and find out what the
successful communities have done to regain the balance between town and gown that leads us to pride in living in a community
with a synergistic relationship with its fine college and normally great students.
Sincerely,
Chuck Slem

Hi Mayor (again),
Side note – both Halloween and Rush were managed very well without any significant issues. Yes, we see a higher
number of calls (whole city), but it is not just Cal Poly students who have Halloween parties. Rush was a non-event for
us as I believe those must be dry events according to the school.

Subject: RE: Consequences of inaction to quell "St. Fratties Days"
Hi Mayor,
This is an unfortunate email from Stew and I do not agree that we have done anything less than our absolute best
given the resources available. The purpose of the meeting with RQN was to review our plan and seek their input as
we had last year. However, we did not share with RQN or the Grand Jury a written event operational plan as it is still in
development and confidential. Our plan details the specific number of resources, where, and when they will be
stationed. This information could be very harmful to our efforts to control this event if released to the public.
What we did advise them is there would be more officers, tighter perimeter, earlier enforcement, and joint community
outreach with Cal Poly leading up to the event. The first use of “strike teams” were very successful, so our intent is to
have more teams to address growing crowds and to have a tighter perimeter to attempt to keep people from entering
and congregating in the neighborhood. The plan is to take the street back as soon as possible and in the safest
manner we can.
Here were the talking points I submitted for you before the Grand Jury:
The Police Department is determined to safely control and to end this non-sanctioned street party. Specific tactical
plans are not shared out to the community as I informed the Grand Jury during my interview however, we are
heavily invested in the following strategies:
Accountability - The expansion of the safety enhancement zone will again provide greater tools to deter
attendance and hold significantly accountable those violating our laws. The department is coordinating with
a broad array of law enforcement partners to assist and again increase our police numbers this year to
afford even more enforcement over years prior. This will likely increase both number of arrests and
citations issued.
Learning/Improving – Auditing other campuses to learn from their successes and failures in responding to
mass nuisance events. Leveraging what worked and avoiding what did not work in their incidents, as well
as our own.
369
Communication/Education - Early and often public communication regarding the consequences of
attending this illegal event will be shared out with our community, as well as other college locations across
the state that have a history of attending. In addition, we’ll continue to use targeted communication to the
members of the Greek organizations, ASI, and Panhellenic leadership.
Cooperation/Partnership - Cal Poly has invited the department to be part of the St. Patrick’s Day Task
Force to exchange ideas on enforcement, deterrence, and education so they are better able to protect the
campus and we can bring more resources to bear to protect our community. Working closely with
neighborhood groups and the Cal Poly Student Community Liaison Committee (SCLC) which directly
interfaces with City, neighborhoods and community leadership, and Cal Poly to work toward a collective
end to the disruption and property damage this event causes.
Here is some other work we had discussed:
Cal Poly Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR) receives a weekly arrest record every Monday
from SLOPD that includes all people we have arrested in the last 7 days. If they have students on that list, they
will in turn send a Public Records Act request for the arrest summary for their own disciplinary purposes.
OSRR also receives every Monday a noise warning and citation report of all locations/recipients of a noise
violation from the last 7 days. This does not specify between Greek affiliated students or not, it is for all
transactions. However, if we observe there are properties that are receiving many noise violation citations in a
short amount of time, we assign police officers to that house for a “sober hours” visit to do additional education
to the property occupants in hopes of voluntary compliance.
o For noise or unruly gathering citations, OSRR sends an email to the student with a reminder about
neighborhood civility.
o If a frequent noise citation house is a known fraternity or sorority house, we connect with the Cal Poly
Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) director and ask for FSL to help in addressing the behavior.
o If the property is an IFC fraternity, the information will be passed onto the IFC judicial board and be
addressed as they see fit.
Thank you and please let me know if you need anthing else to assist.

Good afternoon, Mayor Stewart,
I was heartened by your attendance with Chief Scott and Assistant Chief
Mikel at the December meeting of Residents for Quality Neighborhoods
Board. However, the Chief's express plan of inaction, supported by
yourself as Mayor, did not bode well for the coming years. Denial and
deflection regarding dangers and lack of response the most recent
documented action of ruffians beating on doors and windows, and climbing
on the roof of female college students cowering in their rented home did
nothing to raise confidence that life, limb and property will be protected.
NOW, due to that expressed denial of police department protection, I
understand that Ms. Vix is selling the home in the neighborhood that the
police department, with the complicity of the Council, no longer
shelters. Given the doubling of St. Fratties day ruffians gathering in
those neighborhoods each year it is only a matter of months until
injuries will multiply and homes along with lives in the area will be lost.
I sincerely hope that you, and your collegues, will amend your thinking
to take action and give direction and the needed funds to provide
sufficient police and fire presence to end the ransacking that now
regularly happens in those neighborhood on St. Fratties day, Rush Week,
and Halloweekends.

Dear Mayor Stewart and members of the City Council,
We are deeply saddened to read Sadie Dittenber’s well documented article regarding the plight of Kathie and
Steve Walker in yesterday’s Tribune.
We’ve are fifty-plus years residents of the city and have been active participants in the public sector throughout
that time. We know that the issues involving Cal Poly fraternities started a few years before our arrival. We’ve
always tried to see both sides of what is a town and gown controversy going beck to Oxford University’s
students being forced to leave the city in the fourteenth century.
We’ve also lived through several sets of “Cal Poly Riots” that tarnished the reputation of both the University and
the city.
What the Walker’s have endured appears to be as egregious as those tragic events.
Surely, every possible resource should be used to remedy this situation. We can’t wait for Cal Poly to create its
own fraternity row on campus or even student disciplinary action. Violations of the noise ordinance should be
better documented and enforced. Beyond that the basic rights of the Walkers needs the utmost protection. This
does not appear to be a “he said, she said” situation. Tragically, some students are harassing a family beyond
the boundaries of human decency.
Please put this matter first on your agenda. In our longstanding role as community historians we regard this as a
matter that speaks volumes concerning what our city is all about.

I haven’t heard from you since our production on 12/13/24 and wanted to check-in. I recently spoke to Timmi
Tway, Director of Community Development, and she mentioned that you were wrapping up your story. Are you
still going to need additional documents from us?
As you know, this is a significant request, and we are still pulling together additional documents for you. Just let
me know and I’ll do my best to usher documents along.

Uploaded is the next batch of documents, which are calls made to SLOPD in the last two years and 11 months
to the addresses from the included list. This list is comprised fraternities and sororities with a Condition Use
Permit (“CUP”), addresses from Cal Poly’s AB 524 list, and addresses receiving regular complaints related
to parties/suspected fraternity events. Here’s the link to the files produced:
https://opengov.slocity.org/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=202877
Christine Wallace, Public Affairs Manager for SLOPD pulled these records together. I believe you talked with
her before. Christine said that if you had any specific questions, she would be happy to walk you through the
data.
Should you have any questions for me, please let me know. I will be out of the office December 23-25 but will
be back on Boxing Day and out again December 31-January 1.
Happy holidays,

Hi Eric,
Yes, the composition of the list is how you’ve described it.
I don’t think I have further context. I spoke to her about a week ago, she emailed and asked for several address
history reports, and I explained how to read them. Would it be helpful to forward that email thread to you?
Thanks,

We are preparing to provide the next batch of documents to the reporter in response to their request and we will
probably produce the files you provided. Is there anything you would like to add to provide context to the reporter?
Also, I’d like to provide an explanation of how the list was compiled. Is it fair to say that it’s comprised of fraternities
and sororities with a CUP, addresses from Cal Poly’s AB 524 list, and addresses receiving regular complaints related
to college parties?

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear Mayor Stewart and members of the City Council,
We are deeply saddened to read Sadie Dittenber’s well documented article regarding the plight of Kathie and
Steve Walker in yesterday’s Tribune.
We’ve are fifty-plus years residents of the city and have been active participants in the public sector throughout
that time. We know that the issues involving Cal Poly fraternities started a few years before our arrival. We’ve
always tried to see both sides of what is a town and gown controversy going beck to Oxford University’s
students being forced to leave the city in the fourteenth century.
We’ve also lived through several sets of “Cal Poly Riots” that tarnished the reputation of both the University and
the city.
What the Walker’s have endured appears to be as egregious as those tragic events.
Surely, every possible resource should be used to remedy this situation. We can’t wait for Cal Poly to create its
own fraternity row on campus or even student disciplinary action. Violations of the noise ordinance should be
better documented and enforced. Beyond that the basic rights of the Walkers needs the utmost protection. This
does not appear to be a “he said, she said” situation. Tragically, some students are harassing a family beyond
the boundaries of human decency.
Please put this matter first on your agenda. In our longstanding role as community historians we regard this as a
matter that speaks volumes concerning what our city is all about.

As we agreed upon on December 5, 2024, the City will be providing documents responsive to your request on a rolling
basis. The first batch of responsive documents to your request are hereby produced. This production was reviewed
by Eric Wooten, Paralegal, and Markie Kersten, Assistant City Attorney. Personal cell phone numbers were redacted
under Govt Code § 7922.000, as the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
Documents may be downloaded here: https://opengov.slocity.org/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=202877
The search and review of documents responsive to your request is ongoing and I will provide you an estimated
production date of additional documents in the next few days. I am including the City Clerk’s Office on this email, so
they are apprised as to the status of this request.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.

It remains a priority for the City, and small team of people have been working on the request, but it is the largest

Given the number of departments involved, the breadth of the request, the intervening holidays, staff availability, and

Perhaps we could also include "complaint" "noise" or "violation" as search terms alongside frat and satellite

Subject: RE: Public Records Request
Sadie:
Thank you for taking our call this morning. The City Attorney’s direct line is 805-781-7143. She is also cc’d on this
email.
For the initial search, I used the following search string:
Date>2021-12-31 AND (frat* OR satellite hous*)
Purview has given me a revised estimate on potentially responsive emails. It has grown from 80 gigabytes to 170
gigabytes. Purview caps search results to 10,000 emails, and this search is well beyond that, so it’s possible the
results are even larger.
If you decide to go forward with this search, we would need to greatly restrict the date parameter and perform the
searches in batches. Remember that Purview duplicates results based on the number of City email addresses
receiving the message and the number of replies. However, a more focused email search might be to our mutual
410
benefit, as I expect that we are getting a lot of nonresponsive emails in this first attempt. This is by far the largest
return result I have seen (by a factor of 10 or so) and the first to actually “break” Purview.
For the revised search we discussed on the call, I propose this string:
Date>2023-11-13 AND ((frat* NEAR(4) illegal) OR (frat* NEAR(10) complain*) OR (satellite hous*))
For the initial search return estimate, this routine returns 18 gigabytes. While this return is still very large, I have
done one search of the same size. That search did take several months to review and produce.
If you want to further restrict the emails to those that include Cal Poly email addresses, that would likely greatly
reduce the results. I am also open to other modifications that might reduce the number of returned emails, speed-
up the process, and produce less chaff for you to sort through to get to your wheat.
It is possible that once you have some of the responsive emails from either this proposed search, or an even
more focused version, you will have a better idea of the kinds of emails you are looking for and we can search for
those more specific terms, like individual email addresses, etc.
Until I hear from you, I will not go forward with the initial search but will go ahead with the second search, at least
until Purview can give me a count on the number of emails returned, which I should know in the next few hours.
Thank you for making this a collaborative effort and I look forward to hearing from you.

all my open PRRs from last year going in to the new year. 뇤눎눐눑눒눏 If she reaches out, I’ll definitely let you know!

As we agreed upon on December 5, 2024, the City will be providing documents responsive to your request on a rolling
basis. The first batch of responsive documents to your request are hereby produced. This production was reviewed by
Eric Wooten, Paralegal, and Markie Kersten, Assistant City Attorney. Personal cell phone numbers were redacted
under Govt Code § 7922.000, as the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
Documents may be downloaded here: https://opengov.slocity.org/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=202877
The search and review of documents responsive to your request is ongoing and I will provide you an estimated
production date of additional documents in the next few days. I am including the City Clerk’s Office on this email, so
they are apprised as to the status of this request.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.

It remains a priority for the City, and small team of people have been working on the request, but it is the largest

Given the number of departments involved, the breadth of the request, the intervening holidays, staff availability, and

Our estimated production of the first batch would be December 13, 2024. We would provide additional documents as

Hi Eric,
Perhaps we could also include "complaint" "noise" or "violation" as search terms alongside frat and satellite
house? Would that help narrow it down? We could also separate this into two requests -- one for emails and
one for documents, if that would help at all? Let me know your thoughts.

Subject: RE: Public Records Request
Sadie:
Thank you for taking our call this morning. The City Attorney’s direct line is 805-781-7143. She is also cc’d on this
email.
For the initial search, I used the following search string:
Date>2021-12-31 AND (frat* OR satellite hous*)
Purview has given me a revised estimate on potentially responsive emails. It has grown from 80 gigabytes to 170
gigabytes. Purview caps search results to 10,000 emails, and this search is well beyond that, so it’s possible the
results are even larger.
If you decide to go forward with this search, we would need to greatly restrict the date parameter and perform the
searches in batches. Remember that Purview duplicates results based on the number of City email addresses
receiving the message and the number of replies. However, a more focused email search might be to our mutual
benefit, as I expect that we are getting a lot of nonresponsive emails in this first attempt. This is by far the largest
return result I have seen (by a factor of 10 or so) and the first to actually “break” Purview.
For the revised search we discussed on the call, I propose this string:
Date>2023-11-13 AND ((frat* NEAR(4) illegal) OR (frat* NEAR(10) complain*) OR (satellite hous*))
419
For the initial search return estimate, this routine returns 18 gigabytes. While this return is still very large, I have
done one search of the same size. That search did take several months to review and produce.
If you want to further restrict the emails to those that include Cal Poly email addresses, that would likely greatly
reduce the results. I am also open to other modifications that might reduce the number of returned emails, speed-
up the process, and produce less chaff for you to sort through to get to your wheat.
It is possible that once you have some of the responsive emails from either this proposed search, or an even
more focused version, you will have a better idea of the kinds of emails you are looking for and we can search for
those more specific terms, like individual email addresses, etc.
Until I hear from you, I will not go forward with the initial search but will go ahead with the second search, at least
until Purview can give me a count on the number of emails returned, which I should know in the next few hours.
Thank you for making this a collaborative effort and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sadie:
As we agreed upon on December 5, 2024, the City will be providing documents responsive to your request on a rolling
basis. The first batch of responsive documents to your request are hereby produced. This production was reviewed
by Eric Wooten, Paralegal, and Markie Kersten, Assistant City Attorney. Personal cell phone numbers were redacted
under Govt Code § 7922.000, as the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
Documents may be downloaded here: https://opengov.slocity.org/WebLink/Browse.aspx?id=202877
The search and review of documents responsive to your request is ongoing and I will provide you an estimated
production date of additional documents in the next few days. I am including the City Clerk’s Office on this email, so
they are apprised as to the status of this request.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Eric Wooten

I wanted to provide you with an update on your California Public Records Act (“CPRA”) request regarding fraternities.
It remains a priority for the City, and small team of people have been working on the request, but it is the largest
CPRA request I have helped process since I started with the City.
Given the number of departments involved, the breadth of the request, the intervening holidays, staff availability, and
the number of potential documents involved, we would like to propose providing records on a rolling production basis.
432
Our estimated production of the first batch would be December 13, 2024. We would provide additional documents as
they are readied for production.
Please let me know your thoughts.

I performed a revised search before going to lunch so it could be working while I was out. Here are the parameters:

OR(frat* NEAR(10) violat*) OR (satellite hous* NEAR(10) complain*) OR (satellite hous* NEAR(10) nois*)

This only resulted in about 6 gigabytes of results and I expect the total number of emails to be manageable, but I’m
waiting for a final count.
If this sounds good to you, we can work on providing you responsive communications from this search. Just let us
know.

I am only working on the email search portion. The request for documents will be done by the appropriate
departments according to their own processes, so we are considering it (internally) as two requests. My portion
only covers emails. If you want to revise your initial request for documents, please let Christine know and we will
adjust accordingly.

Hi Eric,
Perhaps we could also include "complaint" "noise" or "violation" as search terms alongside frat and satellite
house? Would that help narrow it down? We could also separate this into two requests -- one for emails and
one for documents, if that would help at all? Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,

Purview came back with potentially responsive emails. There are 2,841 emails for the second search. However,
the total size jumped from 18 gigabytes to about 34 gigabytes. I am guessing that there are some large files
associated with this revised search and that is what is driving the size of the results.
Let me know if you would like to proceed with the second search, or if you would rather me further modify the
search to your specifications.

Subject: RE: Public Records Request
Sadie:
Thank you for taking our call this morning. The City Attorney’s direct line is 805-781-7143. She is also cc’d on this
email.
For the initial search, I used the following search string:
Date>2021-12-31 AND (frat* OR satellite hous*)
Purview has given me a revised estimate on potentially responsive emails. It has grown from 80 gigabytes to 170
gigabytes. Purview caps search results to 10,000 emails, and this search is well beyond that, so it’s possible the
results are even larger.
If you decide to go forward with this search, we would need to greatly restrict the date parameter and perform the
searches in batches. Remember that Purview duplicates results based on the number of City email addresses
receiving the message and the number of replies. However, a more focused email search might be to our mutual
436
benefit, as I expect that we are getting a lot of nonresponsive emails in this first attempt. This is by far the largest
return result I have seen (by a factor of 10 or so) and the first to actually “break” Purview.
For the revised search we discussed on the call, I propose this string:
Date>2023-11-13 AND ((frat* NEAR(4) illegal) OR (frat* NEAR(10) complain*) OR (satellite hous*))
For the initial search return estimate, this routine returns 18 gigabytes. While this return is still very large, I have
done one search of the same size. That search did take several months to review and produce.
If you want to further restrict the emails to those that include Cal Poly email addresses, that would likely greatly
reduce the results. I am also open to other modifications that might reduce the number of returned emails, speed-
up the process, and produce less chaff for you to sort through to get to your wheat.
It is possible that once you have some of the responsive emails from either this proposed search, or an even
more focused version, you will have a better idea of the kinds of emails you are looking for and we can search for
those more specific terms, like individual email addresses, etc.
Until I hear from you, I will not go forward with the initial search but will go ahead with the second search, at least
until Purview can give me a count on the number of emails returned, which I should know in the next few hours.
Thank you for making this a collaborative effort and I look forward to hearing from you.

Subject: Noise Citations associated with fraternity or sorority
Lieutenants,
We are working on how we document and ultimately track citations involving fraternity or sorority houses,
and I’d like your assistance in rolling out some training to our patrol teams.
The goal is to have officers include details in their notes when issuing citations connected to houses or
events that are associated with a fraternity or sorority. Specifically, we’d like them to document how they
determined the association. For example:
Were fraternity or sorority letters visible in windows or on the property?
Was a flag or other identifying symbol displayed?
Did individuals at the scene (party attendees or the cited individual) confirm they were members of a
fraternity or sorority?
Was the party promoted as, or by, a fraternity or sorority (e.g., flyers, social media, word of mouth)?
The reason for this is we are working through some issues with CDD, and this information will greatly assist
them—and ultimately us—in addressing problem houses and areas more effectively.
Please coordinate with your teams to start including these details on their citations.
Thank you,
Fred

Subject: noise report
Hi Joe,
Could I get the noise report for July 1 to December 17, that is the same report style as the annual report showing the
properties with the most noise complaints and their outcome? Like the one run annually in the summer but for the
dates above.
Many thanks,
Christine Wallace

Hi Dillon! Thank you for checking in… do you have a moment to give me a quick call? I think that might make this easier…
Unfortunately President Armstrong has a meeting at 2:00 pnm that day, so it would only give them 30 minutes and I know he
wants to honor his original commitment of time to Whitney.

Good afternoon Dillon and Teresa,
We have had a critical meeting arise for the university that requires President Armstrong’s attendance at 3:00 pm on 1/13. This
meeting with Whitney is important to him - is it at all possible that she could be available at 4:00 pm on that same day, Monday
1/13? Or perhaps at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on Tuesday 1/14? Thank you for letting me know at your earliest convenience.

Whitney needs to reschedule the meeting with President Armstrong. Any chance that 3:00 PM on Monday January
13th is still available? Also, you will notice I removed Michelle Karpovich from the cc and added Dillon James. Dillon

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
491
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.

Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.

Good afternoon Dillon and Teresa,
We have had a critical meeting arise for the university that requires President Armstrong’s attendance at 3:00 pm on 1/13. This
meeting with Whitney is important to him - is it at all possible that she could be available at 4:00 pm on that same day, Monday
1/13? Or perhaps at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on Tuesday 1/14? Thank you for letting me know at your earliest convenience.

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
503
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.

The meeting is from 12:00-1:30, so she could stick around campus after that. She is free until around 3pm
or so.

Good afternoon Dillon and Teresa,
513
We have had a critical meeting arise for the university that requires President Armstrong’s attendance at 3:00 pm on 1/13. This
meeting with Whitney is important to him - is it at all possible that she could be available at 4:00 pm on that same day, Monday
1/13? Or perhaps at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on Tuesday 1/14? Thank you for letting me know at your earliest convenience.

Hi Courtney,
Whitney needs to reschedule the meeting with President Armstrong. Any chance that 3:00 PM on Monday January
13th is still available? Also, you will notice I removed Michelle Karpovich from the cc and added Dillon James. Dillon
is Whitney’s new Executive Assistant. He will be taking over scheduling for Whitney but please still keep me as a cc
as I will be his back up.

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
515
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.
Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
The email is OSRR@calpoly.edu
Here’s a link to the Standards for Student Conduct: https://content-calpoly-
edu.s3.amazonaws.com/osrr/1/documents/ExecutiveOrders/CP%20Title%205.pdf
Information about Cal Poly’s conduct process can be found here: https://osrr.calpoly.edu/home

Cal Poly’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities acts swiftly on any reports it receives of Cal Poly students whose
behavior violates university policies – including off-campus behavior. Likewise, any reports of criminal activity — by our
own students or by any campus visitor — shared with our Cal Poly Police Department will be fully investigated and
individuals will be held accountable.
Citizens can report any instances they believe to be violating university policies here: OSRR online.
Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Courtney

Hi Sadie,
There are currently 7 CUPs for locations occupied by fraternities. There are also 8 locations with CUPs that are
occupied by sororities. I would note that the CUP allows for the use of the land as either a fraternity or sorority, so if a
sorority was to move out and a fraternity move into the same location the CUP could continue.
To my knowledge, we have issued one citation related to unpermitted fraternities in the last year.
Of those 18 locations under investigation (it looks like there were 18 not 19), 17 of them are in R-1 or R-2 zones. We
have completed those investigations and found two of them to have been in violation. Staff will be moving forward with
opening cases as appropriate.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi all,
I just wanted to follow up with you about this inquiry, and also ask how many CUPs are currently held by
fraternities? I've heard between 6 and 8, so I wanted to confirm with you. My deadline for this is Wednesday, just
so you know!
I know it's a busy time of the year, and I hope you both are able to relax over the holidays.
Thanks!

Hi Sadie,
Not sure if you are looking for locations that were cited as unpermitted fraternities operating in all zones except the
R-3 & R-4 zones (which are the zones they are allowed to be permitted in), or for the total number of unpermitted
fraternities identified, regardless of the zoning. Let me know if you need more than the following information…
We are currently investigation 19 locations that have been reported to have held events and are potentially
operating as a fraternity.
In 2024 we have opened 22 cases for unpermitted fraternities. These are opened when an event is held at a
location in which we can also show that fraternity member reside at. Cases are closed after 30 days of no
repeated events, however, any repeat violations within 12 months would result in cases being re-opened and
citations being issued.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Sadie,
Timmi asked me to respond to you directly about your questions regarding the code enforcement process. 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
531
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.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Courtney,
Whitney needs to reschedule the meeting with President Armstrong. Any chance that 3:00 PM on Monday January
13th is still available? Also, you will notice I removed Michelle Karpovich from the cc and added Dillon James. Dillon
is Whitney’s new Executive Assistant. He will be taking over scheduling for Whitney but please still keep me as a cc
as I will be his back up.
Thanks,
Teresa

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
545
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.

Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.

Good afternoon Dillon and Teresa,

We have had a critical meeting arise for the university that requires President Armstrong’s attendance at 3:00 pm on 1/13. This
meeting with Whitney is important to him - is it at all possible that she could be available at 4:00 pm on that same day, Monday
1/13? Or perhaps at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on Tuesday 1/14? Thank you for letting me know at your earliest convenience.

Hi Courtney,
Whitney needs to reschedule the meeting with President Armstrong. Any chance that 3:00 PM on Monday January
13th is still available? Also, you will notice I removed Michelle Karpovich from the cc and added Dillon James. Dillon
is Whitney’s new Executive Assistant. He will be taking over scheduling for Whitney but please still keep me as a cc
as I will be his back up.

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
568
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.
Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
The email is OSRR@calpoly.edu
Here’s a link to the Standards for Student Conduct: https://content-calpoly-

Cal Poly’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities acts swiftly on any reports it receives of Cal Poly students whose
behavior violates university policies – including off-campus behavior. Likewise, any reports of criminal activity — by our
own students or by any campus visitor — shared with our Cal Poly Police Department will be fully investigated and
individuals will be held accountable.
Citizens can report any instances they believe to be violating university policies here: OSRR online.
Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.

Courtney

Good afternoon Dillon and Teresa,
We have had a critical meeting arise for the university that requires President Armstrong’s attendance at 3:00 pm on 1/13. This
meeting with Whitney is important to him - is it at all possible that she could be available at 4:00 pm on that same day, Monday
1/13? Or perhaps at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on Tuesday 1/14? Thank you for letting me know at your earliest convenience.
Kind regards,

Hi Courtney,
Whitney needs to reschedule the meeting with President Armstrong. Any chance that 3:00 PM on Monday January
13th is still available? Also, you will notice I removed Michelle Karpovich from the cc and added Dillon James. Dillon
is Whitney’s new Executive Assistant. He will be taking over scheduling for Whitney but please still keep me as a cc
as I will be his back up.
Thanks,

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.
579
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.
Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
The email is OSRR@calpoly.edu
Here’s a link to the Standards for Student Conduct: https://content-calpoly-
edu.s3.amazonaws.com/osrr/1/documents/ExecutiveOrders/CP%20Title%205.pdf
Information about Cal Poly’s conduct process can be found here: https://osrr.calpoly.edu/home
Cal Poly’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities acts swiftly on any reports it receives of Cal Poly students whose
behavior violates university policies – including off-campus behavior. Likewise, any reports of criminal activity — by our
own students or by any campus visitor — shared with our Cal Poly Police Department will be fully investigated and
individuals will be held accountable.
Citizens can report any instances they believe to be violating university policies here: OSRR online.
Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Courtney

Good afternoon Dillon and Teresa,
We have had a critical meeting arise for the university that requires President Armstrong’s attendance at 3:00 pm on 1/13. This
meeting with Whitney is important to him - is it at all possible that she could be available at 4:00 pm on that same day, Monday
1/13? Or perhaps at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on Tuesday 1/14? Thank you for letting me know at your earliest convenience.

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.
599
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.
Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
The email is OSRR@calpoly.edu
Here’s a link to the Standards for Student Conduct: https://content-calpoly-
edu.s3.amazonaws.com/osrr/1/documents/ExecutiveOrders/CP%20Title%205.pdf
Information about Cal Poly’s conduct process can be found here: https://osrr.calpoly.edu/home
Cal Poly’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities acts swiftly on any reports it receives of Cal Poly students whose
behavior violates university policies – including off-campus behavior. Likewise, any reports of criminal activity — by our
own students or by any campus visitor — shared with our Cal Poly Police Department will be fully investigated and
individuals will be held accountable.
Citizens can report any instances they believe to be violating university policies here: OSRR online.
Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Courtney

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.

Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Hi Mayor Stewart,
I just wanted to reach out with a follow-up question. How many fraternities currently hold CUPs within the city of
SLO?
I sent this question to Community Development too, but I wanted to make sure it was received since I know
some staff may be on vacation for the holidays! My deadline for this story is Thursday, so if you or someone from
Community Development can have the answer to me by then, I would greatly appreciate it!
I hope you have been doing well since our last conversation!

Hi Mayor Stewart,
I am a reporter with The Tribune and I am covering the issue of illegal
fraternities/satellite houses in low-density neighborhoods in SLO. I wondered if you
would be willing to speak with me on this topic, specifically in regard to the
relationship between the city and Cal Poly when it comes to solving this problem. I
spoke with Timmi Tway in Planning and she was a great help, but I wanted to reach
out to you as well to get your perspective. If you're willing, please let me know! I will
be out of the office this Thursday-Sunday, but will return next week. I hope you
have a great start to the holiday season!
Best,

Hi all,
I just wanted to follow up with you about this inquiry, and also ask how many CUPs are currently held by
fraternities? I've heard between 6 and 8, so I wanted to confirm with you. My deadline for this is Wednesday, just

I know it's a busy time of the year, and I hope you both are able to relax over the holidays.
Thanks!

Would you be able to tell me how many citations have been issued as a result of investigations into fraternities
found to be operating in R-1 or R-2 zoning areas within the past year? Additionally, for the 19 locations you

Hi Sadie,
Not sure if you are looking for locations that were cited as unpermitted fraternities operating in all zones except the
R-3 & R-4 zones (which are the zones they are allowed to be permitted in), or for the total number of unpermitted
fraternities identified, regardless of the zoning. Let me know if you need more than the following information…
We are currently investigation 19 locations that have been reported to have held events and are potentially
operating as a fraternity.
In 2024 we have opened 22 cases for unpermitted fraternities. These are opened when an event is held at a
location in which we can also show that fraternity member reside at. Cases are closed after 30 days of no
repeated events, however, any repeat violations within 12 months would result in cases being re-opened and
citations being issued.

Hi Sadie,
Timmi asked me to respond to you directly about your questions regarding the code enforcement process. 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.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Meeshee,
Good morning! Let me know about the final scheduling determination. I am holding off on a couple other
meetings for Whitney that day as well but I'll have to make some decisions soon. 덞덛덟덜덝

Thank you Dillon – I totally understand. Let’s do this: I should have confirmation of this other meeting tomorrow… depending on
what they say, we will have Whitney’s meeting with Jeff be either 3pm OR 4pm on Monday 1/13. Can you please hold both slots
for now, and I will confirm ASAP?

Hi Meeshee,
Unfortunately Whitney wouldn't be able to meet that Tuesday, 2/14, as it's the day of a Council meeting. If
President Armstrong needs to reschedule, we understand and can accommodate.

Good evening Meeshee,
No trouble at all—Whitney can do 4pm on that Monday, 1/13. If you'd like to send an update to the calendar

Good afternoon Dillon and Teresa,
We have had a critical meeting arise for the university that requires President Armstrong’s attendance at 3:00 pm on 1/13. This
meeting with Whitney is important to him - is it at all possible that she could be available at 4:00 pm on that same day, Monday
1/13? Or perhaps at 10:00 am or 1:00 pm on Tuesday 1/14? Thank you for letting me know at your earliest convenience.

Hi Courtney,
Whitney needs to reschedule the meeting with President Armstrong. Any chance that 3:00 PM on Monday January
13th is still available? Also, you will notice I removed Michelle Karpovich from the cc and added Dillon James. Dillon
is Whitney’s new Executive Assistant. He will be taking over scheduling for Whitney but please still keep me as a cc
as I will be his back up.

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.
635
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.
Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
The email is OSRR@calpoly.edu
Here’s a link to the Standards for Student Conduct: https://content-calpoly-
edu.s3.amazonaws.com/osrr/1/documents/ExecutiveOrders/CP%20Title%205.pdf
Information about Cal Poly’s conduct process can be found here: https://osrr.calpoly.edu/home
Cal Poly’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities acts swiftly on any reports it receives of Cal Poly students whose
behavior violates university policies – including off-campus behavior. Likewise, any reports of criminal activity — by our
own students or by any campus visitor — shared with our Cal Poly Police Department will be fully investigated and
individuals will be held accountable.
Citizens can report any instances they believe to be violating university policies here: OSRR online.
Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Courtney

Whitney needs to reschedule the meeting with President Armstrong. Any chance that 3:00 PM on Monday January
13th is still available? Also, you will notice I removed Michelle Karpovich from the cc and added Dillon James. Dillon

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
649
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.
Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
The email is OSRR@calpoly.edu
Here’s a link to the Standards for Student Conduct: https://content-calpoly-
edu.s3.amazonaws.com/osrr/1/documents/ExecutiveOrders/CP%20Title%205.pdf
Information about Cal Poly’s conduct process can be found here: https://osrr.calpoly.edu/home
Cal Poly’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities acts swiftly on any reports it receives of Cal Poly students whose
behavior violates university policies – including off-campus behavior. Likewise, any reports of criminal activity — by our
650
own students or by any campus visitor — shared with our Cal Poly Police Department will be fully investigated and
individuals will be held accountable.
Citizens can report any instances they believe to be violating university policies here: OSRR online.
Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Courtney

Hi Courtney,
Whitney needs to reschedule the meeting with President Armstrong. Any chance that 3:00 PM on Monday January
13th is still available? Also, you will notice I removed Michelle Karpovich from the cc and added Dillon James. Dillon
is Whitney’s new Executive Assistant. He will be taking over scheduling for Whitney but please still keep me as a cc
as I will be his back up.
Thanks,
Teresa

Hi Whitney,
The President is looking forward to meeting at his office on one of the following dates/times:
1/7/25: 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
1/9/25: 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm or 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
1/13/25: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
If those don’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll propose other options. We will reserve a parking space for you in
the A-1 lot (next to the admin building) at the time that works best.
I also wanted to follow up with you on the items I promised from our recent lunch with Jen and Allison Baird-James as well
as other follow up items. Apologies for the delay.
Saint Patrick’s Day Planning
We’re really glad that Chief Scott is now on the task force. We’ll meet again before the end of the year.
I attached more information on all the planning around this. I will share some of the plans with my neighbor contact list as
well. That was a great suggestion.
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.
657
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.

individuals will be held accountable.
Citizens can report any instances they believe to be violating university policies here: OSRR online.
Fraternities and Sororities: Conditional Use Permits and R1/R2 Neighborhoods
Thank you for the meeting last week. Please let me know if we can set up another meeting on this. I think we said January
would be a good goal. We’re committed to working through this issue with you. Here are other action steps I have from
that meeting:
*City of SLO to utilize the IFC process
*Elizabeth: Education process at January (new leadership) IFC leadership meeting. Welcome back to school – “here are
ten things you need to do…”
*Timmi will share a map of R3, R4 to share with all orgs.
*Plans starting for Greek row – more information on this.
Please let me know if I forgot anything. I look forward to the meeting Tuesday morning re: University Square. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Courtney

Hi Rami,
Sure thing. So for the reports, I need a date range. Are you looking for a couple of years’ worth of calls for service? Or
something different?
Thanks,
