Hello Mayor Stewart,
Thank you for your timely response. I know you have a very busy schedule. I appreciate your time and attention.
Yes, I would still like to meet with you 1:1.
I will wait for communication from Teresa Purrington for instructions on how to set up this meeting.
I have not met with anyone from the SLO City Parks and Recreation department. I did look at the parks blueprint,
and I did not see any plans for an indoor aquatic facility, which this county needs, in my humbled opinion. I saw
plans to expand existing facilities, but those are not high priority items. It hasn't been decided upon where such
a facility, if feasible, would be built. This is more of a public county project, versus a city project.
I'd like to meet with you to determine if this is a worthwhile undertaking and to gain your support and guidance
throughout the process. I am working on a campaign ad for an indoor aquatic facility with equitable and
accessible modern amenities.
I am working with Dr. Amir Hajrasoulina, the department chair of Cal Poly's City and Regional Planning program.
He recommended that I consult with you first.
After meeting with you, I would be happy to set up a meeting with Heather Moreno.
Kindly,
Dawin Whiten, M.A.

Hi Dawin,
It's nice to hear from you. I'm happy to meet with you.
I encourage you to review the city's pool and any future plans through the Parks Blueprint. Have you met with anyone
at the Parks & Recreation department yet?
As far as SLO County, you may want to meet with the county supervisors. Heather Moreno is the County Supervisor
who covers Cal Poly. Her email is hmoreno@co.slo.ca.us. To set up a meeting, you may want to contact her Legislative
Assistant, Jennifer Kinnear, at jkinnear@co.slo.ca.us.
I've copied Teresa Purrington on this email. She can help set up a meeting with me, if you'd still like to meet.
Have a great day!

ROUND & ROUND WITH TOWN & GOWN
San Luis Obispo (SLO) is a quaint town with a rich history and is home to a rapidly growing
university that has become a vital part of the community. However, the expansion of the
university has led to significant challenges in housing availability, both on and off campus.
Affordability issues have exacerbated these challenges, created a shortage of student housing,
and have pushed students into neighborhoods traditionally occupied by families. Many students
now reside in single-family homes, often exceeding their intended occupancy. This shift has
brought new complexities, as noise and frequent partying have disrupted these once-quiet
residential areas. The situation underscores the delicate balance needed to ensure that all
residents—students, families, and long-time locals can coexist harmoniously and thrive.
INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
Over the past two decades, SLO has experienced significant growth, driven in part by the
expansion of its university, California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), and the increasing
student population. While this growth has contributed to the city's vibrancy and economic
development, it has also introduced a range of challenges for the surrounding neighborhoods.
Residents have voiced concerns over noise disturbances, large unauthorized street parties, and
fraternity and sorority (referred to as “fraternities” for this report) events being hosted in
residential areas not zoned for such gatherings. These issues have led to tensions between some
long-term residents and the student community.
SLO has experienced steady population growth, mirroring broader urban expansion trends across
California. In 2005, the city’s population stood at approximately 44,380, and, by 2025, it had risen
to 50,612, reflecting a 14% increase. During this same period, Cal Poly’s total enrollment grew
from 18,278 to 23,016, marking a 26% increase. As a result, university students now comprise
Submitted June 18, 2025 2
nearly 46% of the city's total population, significantly influencing housing availability both on and
off campus, infrastructure demands, and neighboring residential community dynamics.

2015 20,944 46,906 44.7%
2025 23,016 50,612 45.5%
While Cal Poly’s expansion has bolstered the local economy and enriched San Luis Obispo’s
cultural landscape, it has also reshaped the dynamics of some of the residential neighborhoods
that border the campus. Many long-term residents, particularly families, cherish the stability and
tranquility of their neighborhoods but now face the challenge of residing in an increasingly
student-centered neighborhood. Striking a balance between fostering Cal Poly’s continued
success and that of its students with neighborhood integrity is and will be an ongoing challenge
for the city. This report explores these concerns focusing on four topics: large, unsanctioned
street parties, ongoing noise from student parties, fraternity zoning issues, and fraternity
permitting requirements.
ORIGIN
The investigation was initiated in response to multiple complaints filed by residents. These
complaints cited disruptive activities associated with college students, including excessive noise
during late hours, unauthorized fraternity houses operating in zoning -restricted residential areas,
and large, unsanctioned street parties that escalate into public disturbances , injuries, and
property damage. The complaints alleged that the City of SLO and Cal Poly officials were failing
to enforce existing rules and municipal ordinances, that citizen complaints were ignored, and
neither took sufficient action to restore order. The San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury (SLOCGJ)
sought to objectively assess the extent of these issues and determine whether city officials were
implementing timely and sufficient countermeasures to address them effectively.
Submitted June 18, 2025 3
It should be noted that the SLOCGJ does not hold jurisdiction over Cal Poly. However, SLOCGJ
would like to express its appreciation to Cal Poly for its willingness to engage in discussions. Their
cooperation was invaluable in providing insights allowing the SLOCGJ to better understand their
perspective on the issues at hand as well as the actions they were undertaking to partner with
the city and the community.
AUTHORITY
California Penal Code section 933 requires that “Each grand jury shall submit to the presiding
judge of the superior court a final report of its findings and recommendations that pertain to
county government matters during the fiscal or calendar year.” Section 933.05 further prescribes
responses to those findings and recommendations. Responding agencies are directed to report
whether they agree or disagree (either partially or wholly) with a finding and whether a
recommendation has been implemented, will be implemented, will not be implemented, or
requires further analysis. An agency may reject a Grand Jury recommendation provided they
include an explanation of why the recommendation is either unwarranted or unreasonable. If a
recommendation requires further analysis, it must be conducted within six months from the date
of publication of the Grand Jury report.
All Grand Jury reports and each agency’s responses are posted online each year at
https://www.slo.courts.ca.gov/gi/jury-grandjury.htm
METHOD/PROCEDURE
The SLOCGJ used the following methods for its investigation:
• conducted fifteen interviews with San Luis Obispo city residents, city leadership (including
City Council members, Community Development and Police Department officials), city
personnel (such as Code Enforcement), and leadership from Cal Poly,
• conducted site inspection of impacted neighborhoods,
Submitted June 18, 2025 4
• reviewed documents such as Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) issued to fraternities,
municipal codes, City Council and Planning Commission meeting agendas and minutes, as
well as outreach plans for previous St. Patrick’s Day events,
• conducted analyses of policies and laws, including The Campus-Recognized Sorority and
Fraternity Transparency Act, Assembly Bill (AB524), SLO and Cal Poly party registration
regulations, and Cal Poly’s General Plan,
• conducted comparative research, including an investigation of cities with overlay zones
to understand their implementation and impact. Explored various policing models, such
as the “Do No Harm” approach, examined strategies used by other cities addressing
similar university-related challenges, and analyzed party ordinances from other
municipalities.
NARRATIVE
CHAPTER 1: UNSANCTIONED ILLEGAL STREET PARTIES
The concept of St. Fratty’s Day began in 2009 originally as a fraternity party to celebrate St.
Patrick's Day and the end of the school term. After the initial party in 2009, the party grew and
by 2015 the event drew over 1,000 attendees. During the 2015 event, the garage roof adjacent
to 348 Hathway Street collapsed because 30 or more students were partying on the rooftop. Ten
students were injured with one young woman narrowly escaping a potentially life -threatening
injury. This incident made national news and sparked conversations between the City of SLO and
Cal Poly regarding how to manage the event and encourage the students to party safely. From
2016 to 2019 the event was smaller and there were no rooftop activities or serious injuries. In
2020 and 2021, with pandemic laws limiting large social gatherings, the event was so small as to
be negligible.
In 2022, with pandemic restrictions lifted, the event grew to 2,000 attendees. In 2023, through
social media, and news coverage, the event doubled in size to approximately 4,000 attendees. In
Submitted June 18, 2025 5
2023, the SLO City Council expanded an existing Safety Enhancement Zone (SEZ) ordinance to
cover a period of time before and after St. Patrick’s Day. The SEZ allows authorities to double
fines for noise, alcohol, and other unruly behavior.
In 2024, the crowd nearly doubled in size once again to an estimated 7,000 attendees. The SLO
City Police Chief used a containment enforcement strategy that resulted in officers being staged
along the outskirts of the crowd in the neighborhood adjoining the university. The “Do No Harm”
approach was adopted not only due to concern for officer safety but because a more aggressive
officer presence could incite a riot. This practice was in line with the department’s enforcement
policy of “Do No Harm” to keep violators, other participants and officers safe. They implemented
a strike team strategy where a team of officers entered the crowd to address a violation, issued
a citation, and returned to the perimeter to keep everyone safe and avoid an escalation.
In 2024 the SLO City Chief of Police deemed their efforts a success as no harm was done to officers
or attendees. However, the residents in the area experienced property damage to their
residences and personal property. Some intoxicated partiers trespassed onto their property,
climbed up on rooftops and power poles, and vandalized cars.
The SLOCGJ wanted to determine the validity of the alleged citizen complaints against the SLOPD
as well as verify statements received from others during our investigation. We also wanted to
confirm the success of SLOPD’s efforts, and possible changes in light of any perceived failings.
We were blocked in this effort by two senior police official’s unwillingness to grant an interview.
This hampered our fact-finding efforts. The reason for these denials remains inadequate and
may stem from a misunderstanding of the role of the SLO CGJ in improving governmental
functions within this county.
It has become a tradition for the students to start partying at midnight the prior night in their Cal
Poly dorms and nearby housing, with the party moving into the surrounding neighborhoods to
kick off St. Fratty’s Day at 3:17 a.m. (to acknowledge St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th). In 2024
Submitted June 18, 2025 6
fireworks were set off in the Alta Vista neighborhood between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., jolting
some residents and their families awake. Thousands of students descended on Hathway and
Bond Streets (in the Alta Vista neighborhood) fueled by alcohol, disturbing the peace by playing
loud music, screaming and yelling. The heavy alcohol consumption resulted in dangerous
activities such as climbing utility poles, partying on rooftops, urinating and vomiting in public,
passing out in residents’ yards and on rooftops, and leaving trash throughout the neighborhoods.
In 2024, the Cal Poly dorms also experienced extensive damage as the students began partying
at midnight and damaged the dorms on their way out to the street party. The damage was so
extensive that Cal Poly had to close some dorms for two days to repair the damage.
After the 2024 St. Fratty’s Day event, it became apparent to the City of SLO and the
administration at Cal Poly that St. Fratty’s Day in its current format could no longer be tolerated.
Cal Poly administration, with concern for the safety of their students, property damage to the
university, and surrounding neighborhoods, as well as the request of city officials, formed a task
force to strategize how to deal with the unsanctioned event. The task force was made up of Cal
Poly Administration, student advisory groups, students, members of the Greek Li fe Community,
and SLO City representatives. No representatives from the surrounding neighborhoods were
invited to participate in the task force.
One outcome of the task force was to provide the students with a safe alternative event. The
event was scheduled for Saturday, March 15, 2025, and included a concert on campus starting at
4:00 a.m. The event was free and up to 5,000 students were able to secure tickets to the event.
The event provided entertainment, beer vendors for those over 21, free food, security, and a
sobering center. Cal Poly police, Cal Poly staff, SLO Emergency Medical Technicians and private
security companies were on campus to ensure a safe and secure environment.
Cal Poly’s messaging to the students prior to St. Patrick’s Day was that past behaviors would no
longer be tolerated. Due to the damage experienced in 2024, several security measures were
Submitted June 18, 2025 7
deployed, including no guests being allowed to stay on campus. Parking on campus was limited
to Cal Poly students and staff starting Friday, March 14, 2025, through Monday, March 17, 2025 .
The City of SLO, concerned about the safety of their neighborhoods, the disruptions to the
residents, and the negative image of the City of SLO, developed their own task force headed up
by the SLO City Police Department. The messaging developed by the City of SLO was “Do Not
Come, the party is over.” In 2024 there were approximately 140 to 160 law enforcement
personnel overseeing the event in the neighborhood. In 2025, the SLO Police Department
activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the SLO County District Attorney’s Office
announced they would not offer pre-filing misdemeanor diversion (see Glossary) to any person
charged with a misdemeanor stemming from criminal conduct during St. Patrick's Day
celebrations in San Luis Obispo. There were an estimated 300 law enforcement officers
representing 25 different local, state and federal agencies. Officers patrolling the area stopped
the students from entering the streets and kept their movement on the sidewalks. The students
were encouraged to keep moving out of the neighborhood and to the event on campus. Due to
the increased law enforcement presence, the neighborhood of Alta Vista did not experience
damage to property and there was no unsanctioned street party. The SLO Chief of Police
Department estimated costs to the city will be approximately $125,000.
The concert at Cal Poly was deemed a success as over 6,000 students attended the event. The
event was limited to 5,000 students; however, un-ticketed students pushed through the
temporary fencing so they could get into the event. Though this is concerning, no one was
seriously injured. Overall, the students remained on campus, attended the alternative event, and
no damage was reported in the dorms or the nearby neighborhoods. The alternative activity on
campus ended around 10:30 a.m.
It is the stated goal of Cal Poly and the City of SLO that the St. Patrick’s Day unsanctioned street
parties come to an end. They have advised that it may take two to three years to completely end
the unruly St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The City of SLO and Cal Poly are no strangers to
Submitted June 18, 2025 8
controlling and ending large events. After a 1990 riot during Poly Royal, Cal Poly ended the event
and created a new activity that is safe for students, their families, and the community to enjoy.
After a popular Mardi Gras event (2004) was no longer controllable, the City of SLO was successful
in bringing an end to that event.
The 2024-2025 collaboration between the City of SLO and Cal Poly proved successful in providing
a safe alternative event for the students and residents of San Luis Obispo. A communication
received from Cal Poly indicated that Cal Poly is currently evaluating what programming will look
like in future years, especially given the transition from quarters to semesters; however, planning
will begin for another event next academic year, 2025-26.
CHAPTER 2: NOISY NEIGHBORS
SLO Municipal Code 9.12 (see Bibliography) provides that “…it shall be unlawful for any person
to willfully or negligently make or continue to make or continue, or cause to be made or
continued, or permit or allow to be made or continued any noise which disturbs the peace and
quiet of any neighborhood or which causes any discomfort or annoyance to any reasonable
person of normal sensitivity in the area.” Notwithstanding this ordinance, the citizens in the
immediate vicinity of Cal Poly, have regularly complained of excessive noise coming from nearby
houses that are occupied by students. It has therefore fallen to the SLO Police Department
(SLOPD) and the SLO Noise Control Officer (Code Enforcement) to answer such complaints as may
be made. The specific code violation encompassed in the above-mentioned Code states that the
hours between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following morning are to remain quiet. According to
complaints received by the SLOCGJ, this has not been fully enforced. It should also be noted that
the Noise Control Officer may grant exceptions to this restriction .
The SLOCGJ received complaints that loud parties, located directly adjacent to Cal Poly and in
violation of the above code have forced citizens to file SLOPD noise complaints. The SLOCGJ
reviewed copies of the noise citations issued by the SLOPD during th e 2023-2024 school session
(the most recent information available) and found that noise citations in neighborhoods near the
Submitted June 18, 2025 9
campus were issued an average of more than 3 times per week during the school session. This
totaled 139 citations in the Alta Vista neighborhood, with one house alone receiving 17
citations. Unfortunately, there is reason to believe that this situation remains - to this date -
unabated. Such is the irritation of area residents, that many have fled the area.
To aid in noise ordinance enforcement the SLOPD employs the assistance of Cal Poly students
who are enrolled in a program called the Student Neighborhood Assistance Program
(SNAP). These students interface with groups of partiers in residences in the affected area who
are violating the noise ordinance. These unarmed SNAP students speak to the offending parties
and attempt to get them to comply with the city’s noise standards. There are, however, only a
handful of SNAP students. They wear civilian uniforms and work in pairs. They also have radios
so that they may contact the police when required. These students may, at their discretion, issue
Disturbance Advisement Cards (DACs). Such issuance falls short of an actual fine or a
conventional ticket and is meant to serve as a first warning, so that an additional violation may,
at the officers' discretion, warrant a police citation. Complainants indicated that weekend parties
can mean up to 100 or more students at one address and often continue after visits by police.
SNAP students do not go to lettered fraternity houses; such visits are reserved for sworn
officers.
Additionally, through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Cal Poly Police have the
authority to operate within one mile outside of campus grounds. This allows, at least
theoretically, greater and more rapid enforcement of SLO city laws.
SLO Municipal Code 9.12.050 is specific about excessive noise. It provides a detailed list of
prohibited acts between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. While it does not specifically prohibit
noise from parties, it does speak to the use of loudspeakers and other electronic devices,
including: “radio, television set, phonograph, drum, musical instrument, or similar device which
produces or reproduces sound…”

CHAPTER 3: ZONING VIOLATIONS / CONCERNS – IS SLO CITY IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE ABOUT
ZONING ISSUES?
As outlined previously, the SLOCGJ reviewed citizen complaints reporting “Illegal Fraternities”
operating in residential zones (R-1/R-2). During interviews with City officials, five individuals
confirmed their knowledge of the existence of illegal fraternities. City officials stated that
identifying illegal fraternities is difficult but usually starts with a citizen complaint reported to law
enforcement about a noisy event or party in an R-1/R-2 residential zone, which is the top citizen
complaint happening most weekends while school is in session. Noise issues and complaints are
usually handled by the police department. Municipal Code guidelines that address noise issues
and enforcement are outlined in the “Exterior Noise Limits” section MC 9.12.060 and the
“Enforcement” section MC 9.12.110. If found to be out of compliance, SLOPD may issue a warning
or citation. Fines for cited noise violations escalate for each subsequent violation. Code
enforcement gets involved if SLOPD or citizen complaints identify the location may be operating
as a fraternity.
It is illegal per the Municipal Code for fraternities to operate in an R-1/R-2 neighborhood.
Due to the lack of on-campus student housing, some students must live off-campus. In some
cases, fraternity members will rent houses in R-1/R-2 zones and may hold fraternity-sponsored
events, which is not allowed by the Municipal Code. In 2023, using extensive citizen-generated
data from a Cal Poly-generated report required by AB524, code enforcement started an
investigation into the illegal fraternities. Based on the investigation, 30-40 Advisory Notices, and
22 Notice of Violations (NOVs) were sent to property owners. In response to the NOVs, the city
advised that many of the property owners reported they were unaware of the fraternity events
that were being held at their property.
At the time, Cal Poly and code enforcement were working together on the illegal fraternity issue.
However, due to changes in policies, Cal Poly stopped assisting the city, stating privacy concerns,
and revised their AB 524 report to remove some of the addresses that were previously provided
in the document.
Submitted June 18, 2025 11
The current policies and enforcement approach is not conducive to a real time solution. Based
on the SLOCGJ investigation, the number of illegal fraternities may be more than 40 locations
currently operating in the city. In addition, citizens have reported that several Cal Poly recognized
fraternities listed in AB524 have multiple illegal fraternity locations operating within the city:
some with as many as 7 separate locations.
In January 2025, due to detailed information received by code enforcement , from members of
the public and several complaint calls, the code enforcement team was sent out on a Saturday
night to the neighborhood adjacent to Cal Poly specifically looking for illegal fraternity activities.
It is not the usual practice for code enforcement to be working on a weekend, at night, and on
overtime, but due to the increasing attention to the problems, city officials believed it was
appropriate. Results from the neighborhood review resulted in identifying and citing 12 locations
that were found to be operating as fraternity houses in R-1/R-2 zones. The city is taking steps to
address these violations. The city plans to continue working on the issues using the existing
municipal codes and modifying them as needed. With the current fiscal situation and funding
constraints, city officials plan to provide enforcement with current staff and resources and ensure
they have a clear and concise process to use.
Based on comments from city officials, identifying illegal fraternity party houses is labor intensive
since code enforcement has to prove that the party or activity is sponsored by a fraternity in a n
R-1/R-2 zone, which is a land use violation. Some indicators are Greek letters posted out front,
social media posts advertising fraternity events, and citizen complaints. After investigating, if
enough evidence exists, code enforcement will issue an NOV and if they are in an R-1/R-2 zone,
tell them to cease all fraternity-related activities. Code enforcement will follow-up within 30 days
to verify compliance.
Unfortunately, the city is regulated to reactive rather than proactive enforcement of municipal
codes. Code enforcement complaints are often received after business hours or the following
Submitted June 18, 2025 12
day. The result is that they are limited in their ability to verify the code violation, as it is after the
fact or violators are not easily identified.
CHAPTER 4: FRATERNITY PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
The City of SLO Municipal Code regulates land use, developments, and operations within the city.
That Municipal Code restricts fraternities to zones R-3 and R-4 and requires a CUP (Municipal
Code Section 17.10.020, Table 2-1) to operate. CUPs that allow fraternities are regulated by
Municipal Code Section 17.86.130 which defines the standard conditions that shall apply to all:
1. “Occupancy” shall be limited to not more than one resident per sixty square feet of building
area. The landlord shall allow the city to verify occupancy by allowing an inspection of the records
or by a visual inspection of the premises. Any inspection shall be at a reasonable time and shall
be preceded by a twenty-four-hour notice to the residents,
2. The maximum number of persons allowed on site for routine meetings and gatherings shall
not exceed the limit established by the applicable conditional use permit,
3. The fraternity or sorority shall remain affiliated and in good standing with the Interfraternity
Council of Student Life and Leadership at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. If
the fraternity or sorority becomes unaffiliated or no longer held in good standing with California
Polytechnic University, the conditional use permit shall be revoked,
4. The landlord shall provide names and telephone numbers of responsible persons to the
community development department and SLOPD neighborhood services manager on an annual
basis. Responsible persons shall be available during all events and at reasonable hours to receive
and handle complaints
Additional conditions may be imposed by the planning commission when they approve the CUP.
The permit stays with the parcel as long as the approved use continues, and the conditions are
Submitted June 18, 2025 13
adhered to. If the parcel is no longer used for the approved purpose, then the permit expires
after one year. If the occupants of the parcel violate the conditions of the CUP, the planning
commission may revoke the permit.
In January 2025, the SLOCGJ requested and received a copy of each CUP granted by the city to a
fraternity or sorority; Appendix A is a summary of the 16 conditional use permits provided by the
city. It should be noted that the Cal Poly website lists 36 recognized fraternities and sororities.
The SLOCGJ double checked with the city, and it was confirmed that the 16 conditional use
permits were all that are in place at this time.
AB524; Sections 66310-66312 of California Education Code requires each institution of higher
education to include in the institution’s requirements for campus recognition of a campus-
recognized sorority or fraternity, a requirement that the sorority or fraternity submit to the
institution on or before July 1, 2023, and annually thereafter, specified information concerning
the sorority’s or fraternity’s members and their conduct. Cal Poly assembles this information and
submits it in a public report to the State each year. The report also provides the address of each
“affiliated chapter house” which AB 524 defines as those located on -campus or on land owned
or leased by the fraternity or sorority. The list submitted in 2024 did have 16 fraternities and
sororities the same as the number of CUPs in force. Evidently, this means that of the 36
recognized fraternities and sororities, 20 either do not have a chapter house or are in chapter
houses that are off-campus and not owned or leased by the fraternity or sorority and therefore
do not meet the definition of an affiliated chapter house.
Any of these chapter houses that hold fraternity activities such as meetings, rush events, or
parties, are still required by the SLO municipal code to have a CUP. It is not clear why they have
not applied for a permit. It could be the cost (In FY 2024-25, the application fee for a CUP is
$10,932.57) or effort required, or it may be that they are located in an R-1 or R-2 zone, in which
case the fraternity activity would not be allowed. Since Cal Poly is not required to provide the
addresses of these recognized fraternities, the city has no easy way to verify the location to
Submitted June 18, 2025 14
determine the reason that the fraternity does not have a CUP. This makes it difficult for the city
to enforce the code.
As shown in Appendix A, not all required conditions are the same for each permit holder. In
addition to the standard conditions required by code, some permit holders have other conditions
such as:
• restrictions on the time of day that meetings and gatherings can be held without city
approval,
• a neighborhood relations program with evidence of implementation to be submitted
annually,
• a list of planned events for the year to be submitted annually,
• complaints received by the city are to be forwarded to the Cal Poly interfraternity council
prior to being forwarded to the planning commission,
• notice must be provided to residents within 300 feet prior to special events, and
• a transportation and parking plan must be submitted prior to each event.
These CUPs were approved over an extended period of time by planning commissions with
different members; the earliest is dated in 1971 and the latest in 2024. That may explain why
additional conditions were imposed on some fraternities and sororities and not others. It may
also have to do with specific characteristics of the individual parcel.
Interviews with City staff have revealed that many of the conditions, such as submittals of
planned events and neighborhood relations programs have not been adhered to or enforced.
The planning commission has the authority to enforce these conditions, add new conditions if
the existing conditions are not met, and ultimately revoke a fraternity’s CUP. Citizens can also
appeal for a use permit to be revoked or request that a permit not be approved. The current cost
to make such an appeal is $2,583.46, (in 2017 the appeal fee was $281.00). A complainant noted
that the cost to appeal discourages this practice. While these appeal fees may be justifiable for
major development projects that demand substantial city resources like legal reviews, public
Submitted June 18, 2025 15
hearings, or environmental impact assessments, they place an undue burden on ordinary
citizens.
Residents raising concerns about local issues like noise or safety issues may find these costs
prohibitively high, limiting their ability to participate in community decision-making.
FINDINGS
F1. Prior to 2025, the city failed to effectively provide a multi-pronged, cohesive approach to
manage or shut down large unsanctioned, costly and unruly events such as St. Fratty’s
Day. This created an unsafe environment, with increasing size of unruly crowds, property
damage, injuries and public disturbances.
F2. The city has not effectively engaged in working together with community stakeholders to
find solutions for ongoing off-campus issues that negatively impact neighborhoods such
as code enforcement, noise issues, trespassing, property damage, and unruly events.
F3. The city has failed to effectively enforce municipal codes that prohibit fraternity and
sorority activity in R-1/R-2 zones in part due to the difficulty in identifying houses that are
hosting fraternity-type events, such as rush events and repeated parties. This inaction has
resulted in an increase of illegal fraternities holding events in residential neighborhoods
making these areas almost unlivable for most residents.
F4. The city has failed to consistently enforce CUPs such as the requirements for an annual
list of parties and events, notification to neighbors, and parking plans. Strict enforcement
of these conditions would contribute to a reduction of the disturbances in the
neighborhoods.
Submitted June 18, 2025 16
F5. The current planning appeal fee structure in SLO disproportionately impacts ordinary
citizens, as the high costs create barriers for those raising concerns about community
issues such as noise or safety. While these fees may be justifiable for large-scale
development appeals requiring additional city resources, they hinder equitable
participation in local decision-making processes.
F6. The Grand Jury encountered a lack of cooperation from the San Luis Obispo City Police
Department. While one sworn officer did participate in an interview, efforts to interview
two additional sworn officers were unsuccessful. This unwillingness to engage hindered
the Grand Jury’s ability to corroborate statements, obtain essential information, and
maintain transparency in its oversight role.
RECOMMENDATIONS
R1. The SLO City Council should continue to work with Cal Poly to develop a multi-year plan
to ensure that the illegal street parties known as St. Fratty’s Day is completely eliminated.
R2. The SLO City Council, in collaboration with Cal Poly and other stakeholders, should
implement proactive measures to address future unsanctioned illegal street parties as
they arise. Taking immediate action can prevent these gatherings from escalating over
time due to prolonged non-enforcement. This approach would foster a safer community
while promoting shared accountability among all parties involved.
R3. The SLO City Manager should develop and implement an ongoing formal process to
identify illegal fraternities to bring them into compliance.
R4. The SLO City Council should initiate a task force to explore the creation of a “Student
Overlay Zone” near the campus that would allow for municipal code requirements to be
introduced that would differentiate it from the rest of the city and recognize the needs of
Submitted June 18, 2025 17
a dynamic university environment. This could facilitate changes to such things as density,
parking, noise and fraternity activities.
R5. The SLO City Council should consider adopting a tiered planning appeal fee structure to
promote accessibility of community concerns by individual residents. Such a structure
could ensure that financial burdens do not deter public involvement.
R6. The SLO City Manager and the Planning Commission should move toward adopting
more uniform conditions for CUP’s and enforcement of existing requirements. Due to
the time span (1971-2024) in which these CUPs were approved, the requirements are
inconsistent. The City should consider using future CUP violations to determine if it is
appropriate to revise the conditions to make them more relevant for today’s
environment. This may require consideration of additional code enforcement staff or
alternative work schedules.
R7. The SLOCGJ recommends that the SLO City Manager create formal guidelines and
provide training outlining how the SLO City Police Department will respond to requests
from the SLOCGJ and other oversite bodies.
COMMENDATIONS
The SLOCGJ commends Cal Poly and the City of SLO for their efforts and collaboration in keeping
the students and the community of SLO safe during the 2025 St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

GLOSSARY
1. Fraternities and Sororities. Municipal Code (MC) 17.156.014 “F definitions.” - 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 (Cal
Poly) and where such an association also holds meetings or gatherings.
2. Illegal fraternities – Similar to the “Fraternities and Sororities” defined in the MC, except
the residence is located in an R-1/R-2 residential zone instead of R-3/R-4 zones and hold
fraternity sponsored activities and parties, which is not allowed by the MC. Sometimes
referred to as a satellite Greek house.
3. Zoning Regulations - Zoning regulations are rules designed to help guide the growth of a
city in an organized way. They are based on a general plan that aims to protect and
improve the environment, both natural and man -made. Zoning regulations help keep
communities safe, healthy, and well-organized by controlling how land and buildings are
used, as well as where and how structures are built. Examples of different zones are:
Residential Zones are where homes can be built, and Commercial Zones are where
businesses or stores may be built.
4. Residential Zones definition R-1 through –R-4 (MC 17.16 – 17.22) - The city is divided into
zones to allow for orderly, planned development and to implement the general plan.
a. The R-1 zone provides for low-density residential development and supporting
compatible uses that have locations and development forms that provide a sense of
both individual identity and neighborhood cohesion, and that provide private outdoor
space for the households occupying individual units.
b. The R-2 zone is intended to provide housing opportunities that have locations and
development forms that provide a sense of both individual identity and neighborhood
Submitted June 18, 2025 23
cohesion for the households occupying them, but in a more compact arrangement
than in the R-1 zone, and near commercial and public services.
c. The R-3 zone is intended primarily to provide housing opportunities for attached
dwellings with common outdoor areas and compact private outdoor spaces. The R -3
zone is generally appropriate near employment centers and major public facilities,
along transit corridors and nodes, and close to commercial and public facilities serving
the whole community.
d. The R-4 zone is intended primarily to provide for attached dwellings with common
outdoor areas and compact private outdoor spaces, and to accommodate various
types of group housing. Further, the R-4 zone intended to allow for dense housing
close to concentrations of employment and college enrollment, in the downtown
core, along transit corridors and nodes, and in areas largely committed to high-density
residential development.
5. Exterior Noise Limits MC 9.12.060 - Defines the Maximum Permissible Sound Levels at
Receiving Land Use for all zoning categories (see table 1 in MC for details.)
6. Overlay Zone MC 17.06.020.C - An overlay zone supplements the base zone for the
purpose of establishing special use or development regulations for a particular area in
addition to the provisions of the underlying base zone. In the event of conflict between
the base zone regulations and the overlay zone regulations, the provisions of the overlay
zone shall apply.

3. Public Comment Baird-James
• With no public comment requests, Baird-James moves to the next item.
4. Cal Poly Arts Report Clark
• Clark shares that MOMIX sold out, making it the first dance show to sell out in 14 years,
further noting the diligent efforts CPA has made in building its dance audience.
• CPA has been deepening their relationship with Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar and
Ballet Folklorico del Rio Grande , building cultural traditions of celebrating holidays here
in San Luis Obispo (Christmas 2023 and Dia de Los Muertos 2024).
• Clark notes the increased investment and risk in presenting Broadway shows this
season with 2 day runs for each show, allowing for increased attendance but also
increased financial risk. So far, this risk has turned out favorably with two sold out
performances of Hadestown, and they anticipate the remaining Broadway shows will
sell out as well.
• The Passport to the Arts program continues to grow, providing greater access to the
performing arts to marginalized communities, through educational experiences and
complimentary tickets to shows.
• Clark shares CPA’s community outreach efforts of with an example of Pack Drumline
working with the Cal Poly Drumline and Paso High School Drumline, as well as SLO
County Juvenile Hall where they taught incarnated youth to drum and introduced them
to the music PACK Drumline creates.
• Clark explains this time of year, CPA is busy executing and presenting this season (2024-
25) while curating and booking the next season (2025-26), noting the complexity in
coordinating schedules and budgets to make it all happen, and thanking the PAC team
for their assistance in scheduling the next season.
• Clark shares that CPA is celebrating its 40th anniversary, explaining the organization
predates the PAC, and that they are commemorating this important milestone in next
season’s programming by honoring the legacy of CPA while looking to the future.
5. Foundation for the Performing Arts Report Hoover
• FPAC shares Beth Goolsby, Manager of Operations and Communications, resigned mid-
January. They are reevaluating the position and determining if they will fill that role.
• Hoover shares FPAC has hired consultant, Monica Grant, to work with the staff and
board regarding fundraising, strategic initiatives, and board governance.
• FPAC’s Holiday Party and Fundraiser was well attended.
• FPAC’s annual appeal consisted of hand delivered gifts to Center Circle donors as well
as a targeted mailings to patrons who have been to at least 10 shows in the last few
years. This was a new strategy for connecting with donors. The targeted list didn’t have
the impact they had hoped, so they are looking at other strategies. Hoover notes that
most annual donations come from their Center Circle members.
• FPAC submitted a formal response to the Performing Arts Center regarding its
$264,798.66 request for roof repairs, indicating that FPAC could not provide the
requested funding. Executive Director Kristin Hoover noted that this would increase
FPAC’s 2024–2025 commitment—already nearing $600,000—by 45%, requiring a
significant mid-year budget adjustment. She emphasized that FPAC’s funds are
dedicated to PAC operations and programs, and that the board must prioritize fiscal
responsibility to ensure it can meet all commitments made. FPAC will collaborate with
Cal Poly and the City of San Luis Obispo to determine next steps for future major
system repairs and to revisit the Operating Agreement.
• Baird-James asks how many donors are in FPAC’s Center Circle. Hoover explains there
are less than 100 and that the founders of the PAC have been the most faithful and
dedicated donors, but many are aging or have passed. The newer donors don’t have
the same commitment to the PAC and the understanding of what is needed to sustain
it. She explains they are working on educating and growing their donor base.
6. Operating Agreement Next Steps Baird-James and Gruss
• Gruss shares the CCPACC Operating Agreement has been under revision for 2 years.
The partners: FPAC, the City of SLO, and the PAC/Cal Poly have been working together
to update the agreement to include necessary measures and details to sustain the PAC
as the building ages and will inevitably have major replacement needs. The parties are
working together to discuss next steps on the Operating Agreement updates and what
is needed for the future of the PAC. Gruss shares the PAC is committed to completing
this as soon as possible.
• Hermann, speaking for the City of SLO, adds that they are dedicated to finalizing the
Operating Agreement and finding a solution that is agreeable to all parties. Hermann
notes the city will be reviewing their funding to the PAC at the upcoming City Council
Meeting on February 18, 2025, and that allocating funds for projects like the
roof/gutter project is contingent on the completed Operating Agreement.
• Baird-James explains that Cal Poly is committed to providing the necessary funds for
the initial phase of the roof repair, to prevent further damage to the building , leading
to more significant repairs. The amount beyond 2/3’s of the project cost for this repair
may be in the form of a loan to the PAC from Cal Poly.
7. Facilities Subcommittee Report McCormick and McPherron
Subcommittee Report McCormick
• McCormick explains the roof and gutter issues continue and that the solution comes at
a significant expense. Cal Poly and the PAC are moving forward with refined proposals
from the designers and builders, and as soon as the rain stops, they will be moving
forward with repairs to protect the building from further damage. M cCormick notes
complications in scheduling, due to the PAC’s full season, but that they are committed
to completing the project as soon as possible with the time available.
• Additional pending facility projects include replacements of a water chill pump and a
sump pump, which will be completed in this fiscal year to utilize the allocated funds
from the MEMRRP.
• Completed work includes the new water/bottle fill station on the balcony level,
matching the water fill station in the lower lobby from last fiscal year.
2024/25 MEMRRP Budget Update McPherron
• McPherron provides a six-month update, as of January 17, 2025, with expenditures
totaling $74,075 including; computer upgrades and replacements, floor replacement,
moving light fixtures for lighting the stage from the front of house (replacing 15-year-old
lights), AV equipment upgrades, sound equipment upgrades, carpet completion
(additional $15k for project management costs), and the water station installation.
• Pending projects include; the architectural lighting project, roof and gutter project, chill
water pump #2 replacement, and sump pump #2 replacement.
• Hoover asks if there’s a target amount to keep in the MEMRRP fund. McPherron
explains the goal is to increase the fund, noting they needed more last year for the
carpet replacement totaling $620k. The MEMRRP needs to cover necessities of the
current year while planning for future needs such as major system replacements and
possible system failures. He notes expenditures change yearly and explains he
strategically plans what to replace and when. The MEMRRP has been as low as $750k
and has increased over time. The Shuttered Venues Grant during COVID was used to
cover necessities and help replenish MEMRRP. McPherron explains he general ly tries to
spend less than what is contributed to maintain a healthy fund.
o Gruss explains the MEMRRP was at $1.1M prior to the pandemic, noting the
Shuttered Venues Grant and other COVID grants helped increase the fund.
o McCormick reminds the group of the Systems Inventory Study the PAC and
Facilities completed 2 years ago, to forecast and proactively plan for system
repairs and replacements to avoid system failures. He notes the building is at the
age where systems are at the end of their life cycle and that more funding is
needed in the MEMRRP to maintain the building.
o Banfield asks if a recent study has been done regarding the contributions to the
reserves in consideration of major system replacements. Gruss explains this
hasn’t been done recently and that it’s a good next step. Banfield suggests doing
this to gain clarity of the sufficiency of the balance and annual contributions to
the MEMRRP to align with the Systems Inventory Study.
8. Budget and Finance Subcommittee Report Banfield
• Banfield shares the subcommittee met a couple of weeks ago. They reviewed the
2024/25 Budget, highlighting that revenue and net from operations are ahead of budget.
They also reviewed the 2024/25 MEMRRP Budget reflecting what McPherron shared in
today’s meeting.
o The committee spent time discussing the roof and gutter project. They also
covered the status of the audit, being conducted by Glenn Burdette, which is on
schedule and will be ready to be filed by the tax filing deadline of May 15, 2025.
Banfield notes the punctuality of the PAC in provid ing the necessary documents
for this process each year to continue maintaining best practices.
2024/25 Operating Budget Actuals to date and Projections Gruss
• Gruss highlights operating revenue line items on the Projected Operating Budget
including; surpluses in Service Charges of $39,095 and Ticketing Fees of $6,907 to date.
• Operating Expenditures line-item highlights include; salaries and benefits for
management and staff are close to projected, lower facilities maintenance expenses due
to projects completed last year, bank merchant fees are above budget due to increased
ticket sales, and insurance has increased. Gruss is working with Cal Poly Risk
Management to change the PAC’s deductible from $10,000 to $100,000 to align with
the rest of campus.
• The PAC projects a surplus of $21,740 at the end of the season.
9. Director’s Report Gruss
I. Event Updates
October-January Events - Ryan
- Carmen – We had a successful week with Opera San Luis Obispo. It was largely a
new team for this client, so this was a week that we always had circled on our
calendar as a challenging one. Ultimately, we welcomed over 2000 through our
doors between the two performances and it was extremely well received by the
audience.
- SLO Symphony/Paderewski Festival/NYE – SLO Symphony was with us twice since
we were last together. First, with the Paderewski Gala Concert in November and
then with their New Year’s Eve celebration. Both concerts finished with over 900
attendees, which makes for a successful night for the Symphony.
- Election/Polling Place – We welcomed an estimated 1500+ voters on Election Day.
We didn’t know quite what to expect but were happy to see a lot of students utilizing
the PAC lobby to vote.
- Hadestown – We had an amazing two show run of Hadestown in November. I heard
from multiple people that it was their favorite show they had ever seen here. And
one of them being a PAC usher who has been volunteering for us for over 25 years. It
was an incredible event and a total team effort. A Broadway performance uses about
150 members of our team over the two nights.
- ASI Comedy – We have been encouraging ASI for many years to find more
opportunities to utilize the PAC for events for students. We were happy to have a late
add with comedian and SNL alum Chris Redd. ASI had a great experience and is
currently holding March 3 for another comedian.
- SLO Master Chorale – SLOMC had two great concerts with 872 for their November
concert a sold-out crowd for their holiday sing-along. Their team is really firing on
all cylinders, and it is great to see the community consistently supporting them.
- Nutcracker – Civic Ballet welcomed in 3940 patrons across four events for the
community staple, the Nutcracker. They are just a well-oiled machine, and we are
happy to be their home each year. They will be bringing a spring event, the
Wonderful Wizard of Oz, for the first time in my tenure in April. Hoping it is a huge
success, and they make a second week a consistent thing moving forward.
- Pink Martini – The holiday season wouldn’t have complete without a night with sold-
out Pink Martini. Just an incredible evening and one not to miss the next time they
are in town
- Co-Promotions (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy/Avatar/Gregory Alan Isakov) – We have had
three co-promotion events since the last time we were together. First, we had Big
Bad Voodoo Daddy. This was the night before Thanksgiving, so it was a smaller
crowd, but thankfully because of the deal we were able to make with them due to t he
holiday, it was still a financial success. We had a net profit of over $7k. Next, we had a
sold-out night of Avatar in concert. This one was far more expensive and thankfully
sales rose rapidly and made for an incredible night. It was one of the most
memorable shows we have ever had with a young audience whose passion for the
show and music was amazing to see. Ushers, who had never seen the show before,
were shocked by the excitement of those in attendance. On the financial side, we had
a net profit of $9k. And lastly, this past weekend, we hosted Gregory Alan Isakov.
This show sold out within 24 hours and was a beautiful night of music for those
lucky enough to be inside the PAC. It finished with a net profit of almost $20k.
II. February - April – Ryan
- Randy Travis – We will be welcoming iconic county music star Randy Travis to the
PAC next Monday. This show will be a unique one as Randy had a stroke many years
ago and is no longer able to sing. They are utilizing another vocalist and AI to create
new music with his voice. We still had concerns about how the audience would
receive it, but we’ve checked in with colleagues at other venues wh o recently hosted
this event, and they said it was incredible and that patrons loved it. There are still
tickets available if you’d like to come check it out!
- Dear Evan Hansen – We will be having two nights of Dear Evan Hansen next week.
This will be another large team effort with a couple of very long, but great days. We
are expecting over 2300 between the two shows.
- Illuminate – One of our favorite events of the year, we will welcome hundreds of Cal
Poly student performers for two (likely) sold-out dance performances. This event
celebrates the diversity of the dance community on campus. I’d encourage anyone
who hasn’t been before to give it a try as it’s a lot of fun and amazing to see what Cal
Poly students can do.
- Rotary – Ireland – The Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa will be holding their
annual fundraiser the night before St Patrick’s Day. This fundraiser has been a staple
since the building opened in 1996 and has been an amazing partnership that
benefits youth charities in our community as well as the Performing Arts Center.
This event will be a night that celebrates Irish music and dance, and we will be
hosting an Irish themed dinner on the balcony level.
- Chris Botti – Another event from new promoter Graystone Promotions. This one
with renowned trumpeter Chris Botti. It is getting close to half sold and is in late
March. He is really a fun and engaging performer, and we expect this one to close
strong.
- Margaret Cho – The very next night is with comedian Margaret Cho, brought to us by
Cal Poly Arts. This will be a lot of fun and a great way to close March.
- Chabad of SLO – The last event I wanted to make you aware of is from Chabad of SLO
as they are bringing Holocaust survivor, Manfred Lindenbaum. Given the nature of
the event, we will be working with Campus Police to make sure this is a safe and
smooth event. We didn’t have any issues last year for a similar event, but will be
prepared, nonetheless.
III. Misc Operations
- Facilities Subcommittee Success Story – Control of temperature when there is a
problem – All PAC building managers will be trained on this and able to login and
change the temperature whenever there is a problem.
- Prelude Dinners Update – Ryan – The Prelude dinners have been successful as we
have gotten those back off the ground after a COVID and Campus Dining
construction hiatus. We have had 5 so far with 3 sellouts at 75 diners per dinner. We
have 9 still to come.
- Grand Ave Diet – Ryan – The Grand Ave Diet (bike lane project) started back in
November, and we have heard general complaints related mainly to exit. We have
communicated a general update to Courtney Kienow. The city transportation staff
were on site last Saturday at Gregory Alan Isakov. I’ve been told they will likely give
our TAPS team more flexibility at Grand/Slack to manage that intersection in the
future.
- Campus Parking Changes – Ryan – The Campus announced in January that we’d be
moving to daily parking enforcement. Up until this point, parking hasn’t been
enforced from 5PM Friday through Sunday. This change doesn’t affect our patrons
but does affect our rehearsing local non-profits. Those groups would get a
discounted rate of $5 per car for parking on those days. For the remainder of the
fiscal year, we are planning to cover their added parking expenses since many of
their events were already on sale and a late change does affect their planning. Since
this was initially announced, the campus has delayed the rollout of this change, but
we do expect it to still happen sometime in the coming months.
- Spanos Stadium Update – Ryan – Spanos Stadium work has slowed a bit since the
bulk of the Athletics season concluded, but we did host a series of all -start games
and have contracted with local soccer clubs for rentals of that space for January –
March. We are continuing to work with Conference and Events Planning on the
potential of concerts in the stadium and hope to have movement on those soon. We
will be working with and providing services for Open House Welcome and for
Commencement in the coming months
- Ticketing New Platform - We are in the process of updating our 2 e-commerce sites
used for ticket sales to the new PAClive look and purchase flow. This new process is
designed to streamline the purchase process for mobile users which make up over
70% of all purchasers across Paciolan's platforms. The new site look will not only
make the purchase flow easier, but it also is capable of handling much higher
website traffic with little or no delays.
- Ticketing Comparison to last fiscal year – Ryan - Sales are up 10% from July 2024-
February 2025 compared to the same period last year. The main factors behind this
increase are the strong Cal Poly Arts season, the comeback of the Prelude dinner
program, and strong results in our co-promoted events

(Questions and comments during the Director’s Report are below with the speakers in bold.)
• Re: Show Traffic Updates - Haft shares the city is going to allow widening to two lanes
from McCollum Street on to campus for high traffic events and that campus
Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) will continue to monitor the traffic entering
and exiting campus. The city has installed a camera near the entrance of campus to
monitor traffic issues. Haft reports the city has been very responsive to the complaints
throughout the process and thanks them for working in partnership on this project and
its many challenges.
o Baird-James notes that TAPS is working to facilitate a more efficient exit strategy
for patrons leaving the Grand Avenue Structure.
o Gruss explains TAPS tested a new exit strategy over the weekend, with a sold-out
show, by shutting off the traffic light at Pacheco earlier rather than waiting for
cars to line up which allowed for a steady stream of cars leaving the Grand
Avenue Structure. This proactive approach provided evidence of the efficiencies
of this strategy.
o Baird-James confirms they are developing Standard Operating Procedures with
TAPS for traffic flow maintenance surrounding shows and events.
• Re: New Parking Fees - Stewart asks about the communications concerning the new
parking fees at Cal Poly, noting there was confusion over the start date and what
seemed like free parking for the first week.
o Hermann asks if the plan is to pause it and implement it at a later date.
o Baird-James confirms Admin and Finance is pausing the new parking fees and
reviewing studies to gather more data in consideration of other options. She
notes the new parking fee plan will likely return as it’s a common practice in the
California State University system to create a financially self-sustaining parking
plan with all users contributing, not solely students and staff during the week.
o Haft notes parking on campus is a self-support operation and that state funds
cannot be used to supplement expenditures, further explaining that parking fees
are required to provide parking lots on campus.
o Gruss shares that the PAC coordinates discounted parking fees ($5/day) for local
non-profits during their show week and that it’s comparable to the same amount
of time to park in the city.
o Stewart asks for clarification on the new parking fees pause and if it will be
implemented for St. Patrick’s Day (March 17, 2025) considering it may deter off-
campus visitors.
o Baird-James explains the new parking fees will not be in effect by March 17,
2025, but that 24-hour parking enforcement will be monitored closely, with no
overnight parking allowed, and streets will be closed to prevent off-campus
visitors that day, with the exception of the event on campus where parking will
be complimentary.
• Re: Spanos Stadium – Haft asks about moving the Rodeo to Spanos Stadium and Gruss
confirms the Cal Poly Rodeo will return to Spanos Stadium April 202 6, noting the ease of
logistics in hosting the rodeo there and additional revenue potential.
• Re: PAC Visual Art Program – Hermann shares the Garden Street Alley art installation by
Rachel Hayes, the same artist in PAC lobby, has been completed and there will be a
ribbon cutting to official open this new public art space February 7 at 4 PM. The Garden
Street Alley Project was commissioned by the city of SLO in collaboration with and
curated by the SLO Art Museum.
• Re: Community Collaboration Grant – Hoover asks if the grant is funded through the PAC
budget. Gruss and Gray confirm it’s fully funded through the PAC.
• Re: Video Broadcast Center on Campus – Machamer asks if the PAC has utilized the
video broadcasting center.
o Gruss explains the PAC hasn’t used it yet and the main video broadcasting
they’ve done has been at Spanos Stadium for commencement.
o McPherron explains it’s Athletics’ Video Broadcast Center and it hasn’t had
regular staffing yet, so it’s not clear who can utilize the center. The PAC worked
with Andrew Baird, from the Athletics Department, on commencement last year
and they plan to do that again this year. They will consult with Baird on the
possibility of utilizing the center. McPherron further shares that the center is still
in progress as they are connecting the various athletics spaces around campus.
o Gruss confirms the PAC hires Andrew Baird for non-athletics events such as Open
House, Fall Welcome, and Commencement. Machamer suggests it could be an
opportunity for our team to help Athletics with the space and that other groups
on campus could benefit from what the center offers in services.

3. Public Comment Baird-James
• With no public comment requests, Baird-James moves to the next item.
4. Cal Poly Arts Report Clark
• Clark shares that MOMIX sold out, making it the first dance show to sell out in 14 years,
further noting the diligent efforts CPA has made in building its dance audience.
• CPA has been deepening their relationship with Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar and
Ballet Folklorico del Rio Grande , building cultural traditions of celebrating holidays here
in San Luis Obispo (Christmas 2023 and Dia de Los Muertos 2024).
• Clark notes the increased investment and risk in presenting Broadway shows this
season with 2 day runs for each show, allowing for increased attendance but also
increased financial risk. So far, this risk has turned out favorably with two sold out
performances of Hadestown, and they anticipate the remaining Broadway shows will
sell out as well.
• The Passport to the Arts program continues to grow, providing greater access to the
performing arts to marginalized communities, through educational experiences and
complimentary tickets to shows.
• Clark shares CPA’s community outreach efforts of with an example of Pack Drumline
working with the Cal Poly Drumline and Paso High School Drumline, as well as SLO
County Juvenile Hall where they taught incarnated youth to drum and introduced them
to the music PACK Drumline creates.
• Clark explains this time of year, CPA is busy executing and presenting this season (2024-
25) while curating and booking the next season (2025-26), noting the complexity in
coordinating schedules and budgets to make it all happen, and thanking the PAC team
for their assistance in scheduling the next season.
• Clark shares that CPA is celebrating its 40th anniversary, explaining the organization
predates the PAC, and that they are commemorating this important milestone in next
season’s programming by honoring the legacy of CPA while looking to the future.
5. Foundation for the Performing Arts Report Hoover
• FPAC shares Beth Goolsby, Manager of Operations and Communications, resigned mid-
January. They are reevaluating the position and determining if they will fill that role.
• Hoover shares FPAC has hired consultant, Monica Grant, to work with the staff and
board regarding fundraising, strategic initiatives, and board governance.
• FPAC’s Holiday Party and Fundraiser was well attended.
• FPAC’s annual appeal consisted of hand delivered gifts to Center Circle donors as well
as a targeted mailings to patrons who have been to at least 10 shows in the last few
years. This was a new strategy for connecting with donors. The targeted list didn’t have
the impact they had hoped, so they are looking at other strategies. Hoover notes that
most annual donations come from their Center Circle members.
• Hoover submitted a formal response to the Performing Arts Center regarding the 1/6
contribution of the roof repair to the PAC as outlined in the Operating Agreement. She
explains FPAC doesn’t have the funds to make the contribution noting the
contributions they already make are close to $600k committed for 2024-25. She shares
that FPAC is committed to the PAC and that they will work with the Cal Poly and the
City of SLO to determine next steps for the Operating Agreement.
• Baird-James asks how many donors are in FPAC’s Center Circle. Hoover explains there
are less than 100 and that the founders of the PAC have been the most faithful and
dedicated donors, but many are aging or have passed. The newer donors don’t have
the same commitment to the PAC and the understanding of what is needed to sustain
it. She explains they are working on educating and growing their donor base.
6. Operating Agreement Next Steps Baird-James and Gruss
• Gruss shares the CCPACC Operating Agreement has been under revision for 2 years.
The partners: FPAC, the City of SLO, and the PAC/Cal Poly have been working together
to update the agreement to include necessary measures and details to sustain the PAC
as the building ages and will inevitably have major replacement needs. The Operating
Agreement was in the final stages of completion however due to FPAC’s recent
challenges, the partners will need to reconvene and come to an agreement. Gruss
shares the PAC is committed to completing this as soon as possible.
• Hermann, speaking for the City of SLO, adds that they are dedicated to finalizing the
Operating Agreement and finding a solution that is agreeable to all parties. Hermann
notes the city will be reviewing their funding to the PAC at the upcoming City Council
Meeting on February 18, 2025, and that allocating funds for projects like the
roof/gutter project is contingent on the completed Operating Agreement.
• Baird-James explains that Cal Poly is committed to providing the necessary funds for
the initial phase of the roof repair, to prevent further damage to the building , leading
to more significant repairs. The amount beyond 2/3’s of the project cost for this repair
may be in the form of a loan to the PAC from Cal Poly.
7. Facilities Subcommittee Report McCormick and McPherron
Subcommittee Report McCormick
• McCormick explains the roof and gutter issues continue and that the solution comes at
a significant expense. Cal Poly and the PAC are moving forward with refined proposals
from the designers and builders, and as soon as the rain stops, they will be moving
forward with repairs to protect the building from further damage. M cCormick notes
complications in scheduling, due to the PAC’s full season, but that they are committed
to completing the project as soon as possible with the time available.
• Additional pending facility projects include replacements of a water chill pump and a
sump pump, which will be completed in this fiscal year to utilize the allocated funds
from the MEMRRP.
• Completed work includes the new water/bottle fill station on the balcony level,
matching the water fill station in the lower lobby from last fiscal year.
2024/25 MEMRRP Budget Update McPherron
• McPherron provides a six-month update, as of January 17, 2025, with expenditures
totaling $74,075 including; computer upgrades and replacements, floor replacement,
moving light fixtures for lighting the stage from the front of house (replacing 15-year-old
lights), AV equipment upgrades, sound equipment upgrades, carpet completion
(additional $15k for project management costs), and the water station installation.
• Pending projects include; the architectural lighting project, roof and gutter project, chill
water pump #2 replacement, and sump pump #2 replacement.
• Hoover asks if there’s a target amount to keep in the MEMRRP fund. McPherron
explains the goal is to increase the fund, noting they needed more last year for the
carpet replacement totaling $620k. The MEMRRP needs to cover necessities of the
current year while planning for future needs such as major system replacements and
possible system failures. He notes expenditures change yearly and explains he
strategically plans what to replace and when. The MEMRRP has been as low as $750k
and has increased over time. The Shuttered Venues Grant during COVID was used to
cover necessities and help replenish MEMRRP. McPherron explains he general ly tries to
spend less than what is contributed to maintain a healthy fund.
o Gruss explains the MEMRRP was at $1.1M prior to the pandemic, noting the
Shuttered Venues Grant and other COVID grants helped increase the fund.
o McCormick reminds the group of the Systems Inventory Study the PAC and
Facilities completed 2 years ago, to forecast and proactively plan for system
repairs and replacements to avoid system failures. He notes the building is at the
age where systems are at the end of their life cycle and that more funding is
needed in the MEMRRP to maintain the building.
o Banfield asks if a recent study has been done regarding the contributions to the
reserves in consideration of major system replacements. Gruss explains this
hasn’t been done recently and that it’s a good next step. Banfield suggests doing
this to gain clarity of the sufficiency of the balance and annual contributions to
the MEMRRP to align with the Systems Inventory Study.
8. Budget and Finance Subcommittee Report Banfield
• Banfield shares the subcommittee met a couple of weeks ago. They reviewed the
2024/25 Budget, highlighting that revenue and net from operations are ahead of budget.
They also reviewed the 2024/25 MEMRRP Budget reflecting what McPherron shared in
today’s meeting.
o The committee spent time discussing the roof and gutter project. They also
covered the status of the audit, being conducted by Glenn Burdette, which is on
schedule and will be ready to be filed by the tax filing deadline of May 15, 2025.
Banfield notes the punctuality of the PAC in provid ing the necessary documents
for this process each year to continue maintaining best practices.
2024/25 Operating Budget Actuals to date and Projections Gruss
• Gruss highlights operating revenue line items on the Projected Operating Budget
including; surpluses in Service Charges of $39,095 and Ticketing Fees of $6,907 to date.
• Operating Expenditures line-item highlights include; salaries and benefits for
management and staff are close to projected, lower facilities maintenance expenses due
to projects completed last year, bank merchant fees are above budget due to increased
ticket sales, and insurance has increased. Gruss is working with Cal Poly Risk
Management to change the PAC’s deductible from $10,000 to $100,000 to align with
the rest of campus.
• The PAC projects a surplus of $21,740 at the end of the season.
9. Director’s Report Gruss
I. Event Updates
October-January Events - Ryan
- Carmen – We had a successful week with Opera San Luis Obispo. It was largely a
new team for this client, so this was a week that we always had circled on our
calendar as a challenging one. Ultimately, we welcomed over 2000 through our
doors between the two performances and it was extremely well received by the
audience.
- SLO Symphony/Paderewski Festival/NYE – SLO Symphony was with us twice since
we were last together. First, with the Paderewski Gala Concert in November and
then with their New Year’s Eve celebration. Both concerts finished with over 900
attendees, which makes for a successful night for the Symphony.
- Election/Polling Place – We welcomed an estimated 1500+ voters on Election Day.
We didn’t know quite what to expect but were happy to see a lot of students utilizing
the PAC lobby to vote.
- Hadestown – We had an amazing two show run of Hadestown in November. I heard
from multiple people that it was their favorite show they had ever seen here. And
one of them being a PAC usher who has been volunteering for us for over 25 years. It
was an incredible event and a total team effort. A Broadway performance uses about
150 members of our team over the two nights.
- ASI Comedy – We have been encouraging ASI for many years to find more
opportunities to utilize the PAC for events for students. We were happy to have a late
add with comedian and SNL alum Chris Redd. ASI had a great experience and is
currently holding March 3 for another comedian.
- SLO Master Chorale – SLOMC had two great concerts with 872 for their November
concert a sold-out crowd for their holiday sing-along. Their team is really firing on
all cylinders, and it is great to see the community consistently supporting them.
- Nutcracker – Civic Ballet welcomed in 3940 patrons across four events for the
community staple, the Nutcracker. They are just a well-oiled machine, and we are
happy to be their home each year. They will be bringing a spring event, the
Wonderful Wizard of Oz, for the first time in my tenure in April. Hoping it is a huge
success, and they make a second week a consistent thing moving forward.
- Pink Martini – The holiday season wouldn’t have complete without a night with sold-
out Pink Martini. Just an incredible evening and one not to miss the next time they
are in town
- Co-Promotions (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy/Avatar/Gregory Alan Isakov) – We have had
three co-promotion events since the last time we were together. First, we had Big
Bad Voodoo Daddy. This was the night before Thanksgiving, so it was a smaller
crowd, but thankfully because of the deal we were able to make with them due to t he
holiday, it was still a financial success. We had a net profit of over $7k. Next, we had a
sold-out night of Avatar in concert. This one was far more expensive and thankfully
sales rose rapidly and made for an incredible night. It was one of the most
memorable shows we have ever had with a young audience whose passion for the
show and music was amazing to see. Ushers, who had never seen the show before,
were shocked by the excitement of those in attendance. On the financial side, we had
a net profit of $9k. And lastly, this past weekend, we hosted Gregory Alan Isakov.
This show sold out within 24 hours and was a beautiful night of music for those
lucky enough to be inside the PAC. It finished with a net profit of almost $20k.
II. February - April – Ryan
- Randy Travis – We will be welcoming iconic county music star Randy Travis to the
PAC next Monday. This show will be a unique one as Randy had a stroke many years
ago and is no longer able to sing. They are utilizing another vocalist and AI to create
new music with his voice. We still had concerns about how the audience would
receive it, but we’ve checked in with colleagues at other venues who recently hosted
this event, and they said it was incredible and that patrons loved it. There are still
tickets available if you’d like to come check it out!
- Dear Evan Hansen – We will be having two nights of Dear Evan Hansen next week.
This will be another large team effort with a couple of very long, but great days. We
are expecting over 2300 between the two shows.
- Illuminate – One of our favorite events of the year, we will welcome hundreds of Cal
Poly student performers for two (likely) sold-out dance performances. This event
celebrates the diversity of the dance community on campus. I’d encourage anyone
who hasn’t been before to give it a try as it’s a lot of fun and amazing to see what Cal
Poly students can do.
- Rotary – Ireland – The Rotary Club of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa will be holding their
annual fundraiser the night before St Patrick’s Day. This fundraiser has been a staple
since the building opened in 1996 and has been an amazing partnership that
benefits youth charities in our community as well as the Performing Arts Center.
This event will be a night that celebrates Irish music and dance, and we will be
hosting an Irish themed dinner on the balcony level.
- Chris Botti – Another event from new promoter Graystone Promotions. This one
with renowned trumpeter Chris Botti. It is getting close to half sold and is in late
March. He is really a fun and engaging performer, and we expect this one to close
strong.
- Margaret Cho – The very next night is with comedian Margaret Cho, brought to us by
Cal Poly Arts. This will be a lot of fun and a great way to close March.
- Chabad of SLO – The last event I wanted to make you aware of is from Chabad of SLO
as they are bringing Holocaust survivor, Manfred Lindenbaum. Given the nature of
the event, we will be working with Campus Police to make sure this is a safe and
smooth event. We didn’t have any issues last year for a similar event, but will be
prepared, nonetheless.
III. Misc Operations
- Facilities Subcommittee Success Story – Control of temperature when there is a
problem – All PAC building managers will be trained on this and able to login and
change the temperature whenever there is a problem.
- Prelude Dinners Update – Ryan – The Prelude dinners have been successful as we
have gotten those back off the ground after a COVID and Campus Dining
construction hiatus. We have had 5 so far with 3 sellouts at 75 diners per dinner. We
have 9 still to come.
- Grand Ave Diet – Ryan – The Grand Ave Diet (bike lane project) started back in
November, and we have heard general complaints related mainly to exit. We have
communicated a general update to Courtney Kienow. The city transportation staff
were on site last Saturday at Gregory Alan Isakov. I’ve been told they will likely give
our TAPS team more flexibility at Grand/Slack to manage that intersection in the
future.
- Campus Parking Changes – Ryan – The Campus announced in January that we’d be
moving to daily parking enforcement. Up until this point, parking hasn’t been
enforced from 5PM Friday through Sunday. This change doesn’t affect our patrons
but does affect our rehearsing local non-profits. Those groups would get a
discounted rate of $5 per car for parking on those days. For the remainder of the
fiscal year, we are planning to cover their added parking expenses since many of
their events were already on sale and a late change does affect their planning. Since
this was initially announced, the campus has delayed the rollout of this change, but
we do expect it to still happen sometime in the coming months.
- Spanos Stadium Update – Ryan – Spanos Stadium work has slowed a bit since the
bulk of the Athletics season concluded, but we did host a series of all -start games
and have contracted with local soccer clubs for rentals of that space for January –
March. We are continuing to work with Conference and Events Planning on the
potential of concerts in the stadium and hope to have movement on those soon. We
will be working with and providing services for Open House Welcome and for
Commencement in the coming months
- Ticketing New Platform - We are in the process of updating our 2 e-commerce sites
used for ticket sales to the new PAClive look and purchase flow. This new process is
designed to streamline the purchase process for mobile users which make up over
70% of all purchasers across Paciolan's platforms. The new site look will not only
make the purchase flow easier, but it also is capable of handling much higher
website traffic with little or no delays.
- Ticketing Comparison to last fiscal year – Ryan - Sales are up 10% from July 2024-
February 2025 compared to the same period last year. The main factors behind this
increase are the strong Cal Poly Arts season, the comeback of the Prelude dinner
program, and strong results in our co-promoted events

Subject: SCLC Meeting on 4/17/2025, St. Fratty's Day party at Delta Chi fraternity
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear SCLC Members,
During today's SCLC meeting, Jason Mockford addressed an early-morning party at Delta Chi fraternity on
Saturday, March 15, 2025, aka "St. Fratty's Day". The fraternity occupies an entire apartment complex located at
1236 Monte Vista Place, with a centralized courtyard in the middle of the complex. The fraternity has a
conditional use permit for fraternity operations with an occupancy limitation of no more than 53 people on site
at any time, including fraternity members.
79
Delta Chi planned to hold a St. Fratty's Day party very early in the morning on March 15, 2025, at 1236 Monte
Vista Place and invited females from sororities and their friends to their early morning party. The fraternity also
painted a banner that hung in the courtyard that said, "Get Lucky," "St. Frattys '25" with Delta Chi's Greek letters
in a four-leaf clover. The banner helps illustrate that the party was pre-planned. There were also posts on YikYak
before March 15 about Delta Chi's fraternity party that morning.
Jason Mockford said that Delta Chi was investigated for having an unsanctioned party on March 15, 2025, and
was found not to be responsible for hosting the party. However, videos posted online show the party in the early
morning on March 15, 2025, when there were only a handful of guests but it was still noisy, then another video
with some guests with their BORGs, and another video when approximately 100 fraternity members and their
guests were partying in the courtyard where music was played, and some drinking and dancing while others
stood on the stairways and balconies around the courtyard, watching the party. It was, indeed, "a party" and
was not registered with Cal Poly because Greek Life prohibited fraternities from having parties that morning.
This was before people reportedly showed up who were not invited to the party.
Word got out on social media that there was a party at Delta Chi, and more people started showing up and
entered the courtyard area. During the SCLC meeting today, Jason Mockford described the uninvited guests
"breaking down fences and storming into the courtyard." For this reason, Cal Poly's investigation of the fraternity
party resulted in a finding that Delta Chi was "not responsible" for hosting a party on March 15, 2025, and
therefore did not violate Greek Life's rules that no parties were allowed to be hosted by fraternities.
To be clear, Delta Chi planned and hosted a St. Fratty's Day party at 1236 Monte Vista Place in the early morning
hours of March 15, 2025. The planned party in the courtyard was full of about 100 people, including fraternity
members, their guests, and guests' friends who were invited to the party by the fraternity members. There was
loud music, dancing, and partying BEFORE the uninvited guests showed up and created chaos by "storming the
courtyard". This is documented by multiple videos posted on social media and social media posts beforehand,
citing the fraternity party at Delta Chi. I've attached a video with some segments slowed down because the
videos are short. Screenshots of one video below show a party with people standing around and mingling with
others in the courtyard, on the stairs, and on the balconies. No one is "storming the courtyard" in the video, and
fraternity members are calmly standing around with their guests. (For context, I've also attached the full video
that the first short clip was edited from, which was a video posted by a gal who traveled to SLO from Hawaii to
attend the event with her friend. They attended the Delta Chi party very, very early, before the alternate
event on campus started.)
80
The fraternity received a citation from SLOPD for the party at around 4:20 a.m. Jason Mockford claims the
fraternity members called SLOPD to get help with the invasion of uninvited people taking over the party.
Nonetheless, there was a party at the fraternity before those people showed up.
The proximate cause of the people rushing into the party, as described by Jason Mockford, was that the
fraternity hosted a party, and word spread about the party, which caused more people than were invited to go to
the location to find the party. If the fraternity had not hosted a party, no one would have shown up and gone to
their party in the courtyard. Delta Chi bears responsibility for planning and hosting the party in the first place.
In contrast, Sigma Nu also planned to have an early morning St. Fratty's Day party and had a "St. Fratty's Day"
banner painted to hang during the party, but the fraternity cancelled their plans a few days beforehand. They
have received multiple noise citations, and their Conditional Use Permit is being re-reviewed by the Planning
Commission in May 2025, based on a recommendation from Community Development. This may have
contributed to their decision to cancel their party, but for whatever reason, Sigma Nu made the right choice.
Delta Chi did not.
Although Delta Chi was not held responsible by Cal Poly for the early morning St. Fratty's Day party, the
fraternity received a noise citation from SLOPD. The bodycam video from officers who responded to the party
confirms the "Get Lucky" "St. Fratty's '25" banner in the courtyard and other documentation that show a pre-
planned party was happening, and the citation was legitimate.
Hopefully, this documentation of the party at Delta Chi helps to clear up some of the confusion about what
happened that morning. I hope we will continue to work together to hold fraternities responsible for how their
actions affect their neighbors, and find a long-term solution for Greek Life, such as a Greek Village on Cal Poly's
campus.
Sincerely,
Kathie Walker

Subject: Leadership SLO Friday
Hi Leadership SLO Diversity and Inclusion Panelists,
Thank you all so much for joining us to share your perspective on this incredibly important topic at such a
challenging time.
We are meeting at the Family Care Network, 1255 Kendall Road, San Luis Obispo.
Your panel is from 2:30-4:00 and will wrap up our discussion for the day.
Y'all know one another well, this is really a dream group to discuss the topic:
Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg, SLO County, District 3
Mayor Erica A. Stewart, City of San Luis Obispo
Dr. Beya Makekau, Associate Vice President for DEI Strategic Planning & Network, Cal Poly
113
Rita Casaverde, Executive Director, Diversity Coalition of San Luis Obispo County
I have the segment titled: Means and the Ends, Representation, Business, and Cultural Change on the Central
Coast. This title doesn't really need to steer the conversation much, I'm happy for things to take whatever path
you see fit.
I'm hoping we will cover some examples of what, how, and why work is being done to make our
community an inclusive place where our culture and economy can really thrive.
But, I'm also hoping we'll get some personal authentic perspective from you all on what you think about
things these days.
We've prepared this document on the session so you can see what our approach is and explore some prep
questions / prompts from the class on what they hope to get out of our conversations for the day. Feel free to
make comments on this document to clarify things or whatever.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H_sst6DPNsvIO05v2lLlQffKCeWhmsotkXkaAMzvLpM/edit?usp=sharing
Rita and I are going to try to have a little check in conversation before Friday to help set an agenda for this
segment and we welcome your feedback on it too. She will help facilitate the conversation.
If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Dan Rivoire

Good morning,
I have a quick question for you. I was just reviewing the new city goals and wanted to make sure I understand the
neighborhood livability goal. Are there specific objectives or benchmarks within the healthy, safe, and
affordable framework? I have read the articles citing illegal fraternity houses as a primary concern and want to
understand this more. In particular, how can I distinguish between an illegal fraternity house and a group of
students who live in the same house?
I want Cal Poly and ASI to come to the table about this goal, because it is clearly a point of frustration for the
city, and I want to be clear on how we can move forward towards solutions. I'd love to hear your thoughts about
what student advocacy and ASI's role should be in helping you all reach this goal.
As always, feel free to give me a call or text. If you would like to attend our March 5 meeting, which is the last
meeting before St. Patricks, let me know before next Thursday so I can add you to the agenda.
Best,
RJD

Good morning Mayor Stewart,
Thank you again for taking the time to meet with me yesterday. I greatly appreciated the opportunity to discuss
what needs to change at Cal Poly so we can collaborate more effectively. If elected, I would like to propose
meeting with you on a monthly or quarterly basis, as I am deeply passionate about strengthening the connection
between our organizations.
I also wanted to inquire about your interest in making endorsements this year. I understand that this is
something you have chosen to do in some years but not in others. My campaign is focused on fostering stronger
connections between students and the decision-makers who impact their lives. As one of those decision
121
makers, your support would be instrumental. I am more than happy to continue to meet and discuss before any
decisions are made, if you are interested in making endorsements this year.
Please feel free to give me a call at 530-812-3243 if you would prefer.
I look forward to continuing to work with you, and will see you at our board meeting on February 5th!
Best,

Good afternoon Mayor Stewart,
I hope this email finds you well! I am reaching out to see if we could find a time to meet. I have been
seriously considering running for ASI President, particularly given the current dynamics between ASI and the
city.
I would love to sit down and talk about what it looks like for our organizations to collaborate more
effectively and strengthen our relationship. Please let me know if there is a time that works best for your
schedule.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Teresa,

I hope you’re doing well! Mayor Stewart kindly directed me to you to schedule a meeting with her.
Could we find a time in the next 2 weeks for a quick meeting, around 30 minutes to an hour? I’d love to
reconnect with Mayor Stewart and discuss some initiatives I’m working on through the San Luis Obispo
Community Liaison Committee (SCLC). These efforts are focused on strengthening the relationship between
college students and local residents, and I believe there’s real opportunity for partnership and meaningful
impact this year.
Here is my availability:
August 8th: 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
August 10th - August 15th : Anytime before 9 a.m.
August 13th: 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
August 15th: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
But I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for the Mayor’s schedule.
