Hi Mayor Stewart,
Thank you for the email. It was nice to see you on Saturday (I was the person in front of Ancient Owl who
said hi with the toddler in the stroller).
Yes, our coalition would be happy to set up a meeting during that time.
Thank you,

Thank you, Julia. I appreciate your follow up on the evictions and MFH no smoking. Let’s touch base in summer
to talk more about this. Maybe during the week of 7/30?
All the best!

Subject: Follow-up on Smokefree Multiunit Housing Discussion
2
Dear Mayor Stewart,
I am following up on the October Study Session on Renters Protection and wanted to share the attached
report summarizing findings from California jurisdictions that have implemented smokefree multiunit housing
(MUH) policies.
Given concerns about potential evictions due to smokefree MUH ordinance expressed at the October Study
Session, we reached out to jurisdictions with this ordinance to see if that has been an issue. Among the
jurisdictions that responded, none reported evictions occurring solely due to smoking violations. Instead,
jurisdictions described prioritizing education, warnings, and mediation when addressing violations, and some
have adopted policies explicitly preventing eviction solely for smoking violations. Thes e findings suggest that
smokefree housing policies can be implemented while minimizing unintended housing consequences.
We also noted that at the Rental Registry Study Session a couple of weeks ago, public comments from both
property managers and tenants voiced support for a smokefree MUH ordinance in SLO.
We hope that during the May hearing on Code Enforcement, next steps for exploring this policy can be
discussed. If helpful, members of the Tobacco Control Program (TCP) or the Tobacco Control Coalition
(TCC) would be happy to present the report findings, share examples of existing ordinances, or connect the
City with other jurisdictions that have implemented smokefree housing policies.
Thank you again for your time and leadership on this issue. We appreciate your consideration and would
welcome the opportunity to support the City as it looks into expanding its current smokefree ordinance.
Sincerely,
Julia Alber
Chair, SLO County Tobacco Control Coalition

Hi Erica,
I hope you've been doing well! I wanted to follow up about our recent United by Excellence: Black Joy Celebration on February
27th. We had you scheduled as our keynote speaker for the event (original email chain below) but day of we didn't see you
arrive. I just wanted to reconnect in case we reach out again in the future to ensure we know the best way to reserve
appointments and meetings with you. We did add both your Cal Poly and city emails and included Teresa on the calendar invite
as well.
We hope we'll see you at future events!

Hello Madam Mayor, Members of the San Luis Obispo City Council, Manager McDonald, and Director Tway,
My name is Weston Patrick, and I am currently serving as this year's Secretary of Community Relations for Cal
Poly Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Student Government. ASI serves as the official voice of the over 23,000 Cal
Poly students, and I am reaching out to you all today to inform you about a resolution currently under
consideration by our Board of Directors.
The resolution is urging the establishment of a rental registry program in San Luis Obispo to help better support
student renters. The resolution has cleared administrative review as well as our Internal Review committee and
will now move to a vote by the ASI Board of Directors on March 4th. As the official voice of Cal Poly Students,
this resolution would constitute a statement made on behalf of the student body.
I have attached the draft resolution currently under consideration to make you all aware of this effort, as it may
be relevant to the council's upcoming study session concerning a rental registry.
Should the resolution pass the board, you will all be sent an official copy, as you are all listed as recipients on
the resolution.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you all so much for your service to our community. I am grateful that Cal Poly students have the
opportunity to work with such a driven and engaged city council and staff.
Best,

Resolution #26-xx
RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO EFFORTS TO
ESTABLISH A RENTAL REGISTRY PROGRAM
WHEREAS: The Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Board of Directors serves as the
official voice of students at California Polytechnic State University
(Cal Poly), San Luis Obispo; and
WHEREAS: The City of San Luis Obispo is currently considering the adoption
of a rental registry program due to the fact that “while staff and
Council frequently receive community feedback and concerns
regarding pricing, safe housing, evictions, and other issues specific
to rental housing, the City has very few reliable data sources to
assist in evaluating potential tools to address these concerns”1
according to a report presented by the Department of Community
Development to City Council on October 28, 2025; and
WHEREAS: A rental registry is defined by the City of San Luis Obispo
Department of Community Development as “a database of all
rental housing units in the City, with associated information
collected from each unit owner and is intended, in part, to provide
a jurisdiction with data about rental units” and would hold relevant
information to student housing such as property attributes, owner
information, lease language, rent amount, additional fees, and city
code enforcement data;1 and
WHEREAS: Students primary concerns regarding off-campus housing, as
stated by Sarah Bacio, the Off-Campus Housing Program
Coordinator for the Cal Poly Dean of Students Office, are
numerous: “The top challenges heard from students leading up to
their off-campus experience is the cost of housing in SLO County
and knowing what rentals are available and when. Once students
are living off campus, the top challenges become timely responses
to maintenance requests and communication with
landlords/property managers;”2 and
WHEREAS: ASI is currently assessing the data from its “Let’s Hear It: Off
Campus Housing” survey, which aims to better understand these
concerns3; and
WHEREAS: According to the 2020 US Census, 62% of housing units in the City
of San Luis Obispo are rental units;4 and

https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST5Y2022.S2504?q=housing%20stock%20san%20luis%20obispo%20city&g=160XX00US0668154
WHEREAS: Approximately 13,930 Cal Poly Students live off-campus,
representing 61% of the student body;5 and
WHEREAS: On October 28, 2025, at a San Luis Obispo City Council special
meeting concerning renter protections, Cal Poly Vice President of
Facilities Management and Development Mike McCormick stated
that off campus housing rates were one of the “guiding
parameters” the university utilizes when it comes to decisions and
planning regarding growing on campus housing. Further, Vice
President McCormick stated that the University attempts to stay
within the “band of external rates.”6 This statement by Vice
President McCormick demonstrates that Cal Poly utilizes off-
campus rental data to inform on-campus housing decisions; and
WHEREAS: Despite the value and necessity of this data, Cal Poly entities such
as ASI or the Off Campus Housing Program currently do not use a
single source of data and instead rely on sparse, incomplete
internal and shared survey data. This leads to the existence of
multiple data disagreements that ultimately affect the pursued
goals of these entities. As stated by Sarah Bacio, the Off-Campus
Housing Program Coordinator for the Cal Poly Dean of Students
Office, “Currently we rely on a curated list of apartment complexes
and property managers that has been developed over the years.
However, this list is not all encompassing of the available rentals in
the community. Currently there is no list of landlords (different
from a Property Management) that is reliable;”2 and
WHEREAS: Ms. Bacio has described the potential benefits of a rental registry
on student resources, stating “Having a rental registry would allow
for advertisement of rentals to students, ultimately, helping the
properties get filled. As well as better partnership among housing
providers and the campus. A main goal of the Off-Campus Housing
Program is to provide education to students and it's important to
know the challenges both students and landlords/property
managers are facing. If we don't know who the housing providers
are then it is more challenging to offer that support;”2 and
WHEREAS: ASI has additionally relied on a combination of external sources
and its own surveys to assess the student housing landscape and

THEREFORE
BE IT
RESOLVED: The ASI Board of Directors, and thus the students of Cal Poly,
strongly urge the City of San Luis Obispo to establish a
comprehensive rental registry program; and
FURTHERMORE
BE IT
RESOLVED: Such a program should make a deliberate effort not only to
identify student housing but also to track areas of discrepancy for
students living in San Luis Obispo, including but not limited to
lease terms, rental increases, predatory application processes, and
substandard housing issues; and
FURTHERMORE
BE IT
RESOLVED: A problem that cannot be diagnosed cannot be addressed. With an
ever-changing housing landscape in San Luis Obispo and rising
rents, especially for students, a rental registry program is the
essential first step for comprehensive action both at the university
and city level to address real student renter issues; and
FURTHERMORE
BE IT
RESOLVED: The ASI Board of Directors encourages continued collaboration
and data sharing between the City of San Luis Obispo and the
University to address student concerns as they relate to off-
campus housing. Further, the board urges that the City of San Luis
Obispo use the data collected in a rental registry to inform future
housing policies relevant to Cal Poly students; and

Subject: 2/24 City Council Meeting: Item 4a.
I am hopeful that this is supported by city council. I think a rental registry would help improve transparency in
the off-campus rental market and improve housing safety compliance. In my conversations with students
anecdotally many students are afraid to report any issues with a unit for fear of retaliation from their housing
provider. In winter 2025, I did survey with students and I listed below the top five challenges identified.
Finding Rentals in Budget: 69% of students cited this as a top difficulty.
Proximity to Campus: 61% struggled to find housing close to campus.
Knowing Where/How to Search: 53% didn’t know where to look or how to start.
Time Pressure: Fast-paced market, with leases opening as early as November, creating stress and
forcing early commitments.
Application Competition: Some students applied to 10+ properties due to limited availability.
I would also share that if the rental registry has a public facing component to it, The Off-Campus Housing
Program would drive students to that site in all advertising we do. Right now, we have the Off-Campus Housing
Marketplace which is hosted by a third-party vendor because I don't have the capacity/expertise, but
advertising is costly to landlords/property managers. I would imagine a city rental registry would be
significantly cheaper. Especially since many pay advertising fees to various platforms so with a public facing
component to a rental registry it takes away some of that need.
Thanks for all your work on this.

Since this is our intro group to student government, I think it would be awesome to give information about the
city and how it operates, but I would also love if you could talk about your time in ASI, how it prepared you, and
general leadership advice for students trying to get involved at Cal Poly. Leaving time for Q&A would also be
great to allow students to get any questions answered.

Let me know if there is anything I can clarify or help prepare. If you have slideshows you would like to have
included in the presentation, feel free to send them over to me prior to the meeting and I will have them ready to
be shared.
Thanks again for your willingness to come speak with us and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Hi Tanner,
One additional item. Mayor Stewart is trying to fit everything in. She is also a panelist at From Purpose to Profit
Career Discussion from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on October 28 which is located at Chumash Wing Center. So, depending
on how long it takes to get from one location to the other she may be there a little later than 6:10 PM.

Hello Mayor Stewart,
I hope you are doing well and have been able to enjoy your summer so far. My name is Tanner Schinderle, and I
serve as the ASI Chief of Staff. In this role, I oversee the Executive Cabinet as well as our Executive Staff
program, which provides students opportunities to develop their leadership skills, execute ASI initiatives and
projects, network within and beyond ASI, and create a positive impact on the campus community. Additionally,
the Executive Staff program is designed to be a pipeline recruitment pathway for future ASI Student Government
members. These are often first-year students who are looking to get involved on campus and want to learn
more. Students have loved your presentation for the last two years, and we would love to have you join us again
this year.
The time with students would allow you to share your insights and experiences with the student leaders in our
program. As Mayor, a professor, and business owner, you have a unique perspective on the future of our
campus as well as a leadership journey that I believe would be beneficial for students to hear.
Our Executive Staff Meetings are every Tuesday from 6:10-7:30 in the Rec Center Training Room (Bldg. 43,
Room 109). We would love to have you join us from 6:10-7:00, but whatever time frame works best for you, we
are happy to work with!
We hope that you will join us for one of the following days:
October 21st, October 28th, or November 4th.
Please let me know if any of the above dates work for you. If none of this works, I would be happy to send over
additional dates. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know. Your insights are valuable to these student
leaders and have a lasting impact on our program. Thank you in advance for your support, and I look forward to
speaking with you soon.
Best,
Tanner Schinderle

Hello everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well. Attached is the agenda for our meeting on November 20th.
I want to flag that this will be a full meeting, and I’ll be keeping us on schedule so we can thoughtfully work
through all four major discussion items.
In particular, please take time to thoroughly review the final Action Item on the Ad Hoc Noise Proposal before
we meet. The goal is for everyone to come prepared so we can dive directly into the substantive details rather
than reading it together during the meeting.
As always, I encourage everyone to ask questions and engage in the discussion. To keep us moving forward
productively, I may step in to help refocus or keep us from getting stuck in the weeds.
Thank you all for your time, preparation, and continued commitment. Looking forward to a great conversation

we meet. The goal is for everyone to come prepared so we can dive directly into the substantive details rather
than reading it together during the meeting.
76
As always, I encourage everyone to ask questions and engage in the discussion. To keep us moving forward
productively, I may step in to help refocus or keep us from getting stuck in the weeds.
Thank you all for your time, preparation, and continued commitment. Looking forward to a great conversation
next week.

Hello everyone,

In particular, please take time to thoroughly review the final Action Item on the Ad Hoc Noise Proposal before

MEMORANDUM
To: Student-Community Liaison Committee (SCLC) Date: November 10, 2025
From: Brett Cross
SCLC RQN Representative
Mila Vujovich-LaBarre
SCLC Geographic Neighborhood Representative
Subject: Proposal to Establish an Ad Hoc Committee on Neighborhood Livability and Town-
Gown Relations
Background
The neighborhoods in the northern part of the City of San Luis Obispo, particularly Alta Vista and Lower
Monterey Heights neighborhoods adjacent to Cal Poly’s campus, have faced escalating livability
challenges in recent years. These residential areas have become heavily populated with student rentals
and fraternity houses.
From 2013 to 2015, the City of San Luis Obispo, including members of leadership and residents, Cal
Poly, and Cuesta College, collaborated through the Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility
Working Group. Over 18 months, the group developed a comprehensive report and recommendations
promoting mutual respect and improved neighborhood relations. (See Attachment: 05-19-2015
Neighborhood Civility Recommendations)
While the Civility Report identified six primary objectives and numerous action items, many were never
implemented. Since then, the situation within neighborhoods has evolved, with more fraternities renting
residential properties, leading to new disruptions and amplified livability concerns.
Residents have experienced ongoing disturbances such as chronic noise often linked to large
gatherings, late-night parties, and parking congestion. Despite efforts by the City of San Luis Obispo,
Cal Poly, and law enforcement to respond to complaints, these problems persist, often due to gaps in
coordination and a lack of accountability among the entities involved.
These challenges were highlighted in the 2025 San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury report, “Round and
Round with Town and Gown,” which concluded that some neighborhoods near Cal Poly have become
'nearly unlivable' due to high concentrations of student housing and limited City enforcement. The
Grand Jury called for stronger collaboration between the City, Cal Poly, and residents to restore
livability and mutual trust.
Considering these findings and given the intensity and persistence of these neighborhood issues, and
in keeping with SCLC’s role as a forum for constructive town–gown engagement, the establishment of a
focused Ad Hoc Committee will allow for a deeper, data-driven, and collaborative exploration of root
causes and solutions.
Purpose / Purview
The purpose of the Ad Hoc Committee on Neighborhood Livability and Town-Gown Relations is to:
• Examine the root causes of neighborhood livability challenges, particularly in the neighborhoods
adjacent to Cal Poly.
• Review and update the 2013-2015 Civility Report recommendations to reflect current conditions.
• Evaluate the concerns raised by the 2025 Grand Jury report and identify actionable responses.
• Collect and analyze data on noise complaints, code enforcement, and housing occupancy
trends.
• Review the existing policies, communication channels, and enforcement mechanisms of both
Cal Poly and the City.
• Develop strategies to promote accountability, respect, and effective communication between
long-term residents, and the transient college student resident populations, the City, Cal Poly,
and Cuesta College, where relevant.
The committee’s purview extends to any issues or policies affecting the “town-gown” balance between
college-student life and long-term residential livability in neighborhoods surrounding Cal Poly’s campus,
including the impact to the livability, safety, and sense of community in the neighborhoods.
Responsibilities
The committee will:
• Review data from City and university records related to noise, nuisance, and code enforcement
in affected neighborhoods.
• Engage with residents, City representatives, Cal Poly officials, and student organizations
(including ASI, IFC, and Panhellenic Council).
• Identify existing programs and evaluate their effectiveness in addressing chronic neighborhood
disruptions.
• Assess progress made toward the implementation of the 2013-2015 Civility Report’s
recommendations.
• Identify factors contributing to conflict and barriers to effective resolution.
• Develop and present actionable strategies for improved neighborhood livability, enforcement,
and communication.
• Provide a written report and recommendations to the SCLC within six – nine months of
formation.
Composition
The committee will consist of up to nine (9) members, including:
• Up to five (5) members of the SCLC.
• One (1) representative from the Alta Vista or Lower Monterey Heights neighborhoods.
• One (1) representative from the City of San Luis Obispo.
• One (1) representative from Cal Poly (e.g., Dean of Students or Community Relations).
• Two (2) student representatives, including one member of the Interfraternity Council
(IFC) and one member of ASI.
Administrative and research support may be provided jointly by Cal Poly and the City to assist with
meeting coordination, data analysis, and report preparation.
Expected Outcomes
• A comprehensive report presented to the SCLC outlining findings, data, and policy
recommendations.
• Updated, actionable steps building on the 2013-2015 Civility Report and 2025 Grand Jury
findings.
• Improved coordination between Cal Poly, the City, and neighborhood residents in responding to
community issues.
• Enhanced communication channels between residents and student organizations to encourage
proactive problem-solving.
• Restored neighborhood livability and a measurable reduction in noise and nuisance complaints.
• Measurable improvements in neighborhood livability and community relationships.
Timeline
• Committee formation: Winter Quarter 2025
• Data collection and engagement: Winter–Spring 2025
• Draft report to SCLC: Summer 2025
• Final report and recommendations: Fall 2026
Resources / Support
The committee may request staff support from Cal Poly’s Office of Student Affairs and the City’s
Neighborhood Outreach or Community Development divisions for data collection, meeting logistics, and
public communications.

Project with a tentatfve schedule for phase 1 occurring late summer 2025.
• Sump pump #2 work has been moved from FY 24/25 to 25/26. This will complete the
replacement of all the original pumps in the building.
• The two star dressing rooms and backstage laundry area are being updated. Those
spaces are currently original to the building and will benefit from refreshing.
2024/25 MEMRRP actuals to date & projections McPherron
• MEMRRP actuals as of May 2025, are at $175k in expenses;
o $115k in General Facility (chill water pump, annual paint maintenance,
roof and gutter, architectural lightfng upgrade, drinking fountain lower
lobby, drinking fountain balcony lobby, carpet)
o $58k in General Building Equipment (Replacement A/V, backstage, safety,
lightfng, computers, and sound gear).
o Additfonal expenses from campus facilitfes and trades will be invoiced at
the end of the FY.
• The 24/25 PAC MEMRRP Budget is projected to end under $220k.
3
2025/26 MEMRRP proposed budget McPherron
• Total MEMRRP spending proposed for 25/26 FY is $867k
o $267k for General Building Equipment (theatrical equipment, sump pump
replacement, and other replacements)
o $600K for General Facility (Roof Repair Project)
Discussion
• McDonald asks about Phase 1 of the roof and gutter repair and if that will occur in
25/26 FY. McPherron explains the roof will be done in phases and confirms they plan to
complete phase 1 in 25/26 FY, notfng $20k in expenses in 24/25 FY for roof and gutter
investfgatfon connected to the project.
• McDonald notes the estfmated total of $1.6M for the project with the incremental
payments from the partners and asks for clarificatfon of the language explaining the
PAC contributfon of $600k listed in the 25/26 PAC MEMRRP proposed budget table, as
well as how the $600k was determined.
• McPherron explains $600k is needed to begin the project, so the PAC started with that
amount, allocatfng the funds in the MEMRRP 25/26 FY proposed budget.
• VanDorn asks about paying for this over two FY and if the partner contributfons over
two years could contribute to the total cost.
• McDonald asks about paying out of the MEMRRP with existfng funds and making it
sustainable with contfnued partner contributfons.
• McPherron explains the MEMRRP has worked this way historically however capital
projects like the roof replacement project can be challenging to forecast financially.
• McDonald emphasized covering capital expenditures over tfme through the MEMRRP
and solidifying those financial details in the revision of the Operatfng Agreement.
• Stewart asks about Cal Poly’s Capital Improvement Projects and if the CCPACC has
considered how the university handles CIP budgets, explaining the city of SLO has a
general budget and a separate CIP budget. Stewart suggests a similar model to
approach the aging building and antfcipated CIP needs moving forward.
• Baird-James explains the pending MEMRRP analysis will give clarity to this and help the
board plan ahead regarding payments for CIP such as the roof repair. The analysis will
also provide data to project partner contributfon amounts and potentfal increases of
those payments to prepare for the future.
• Hoover asks for clarificatfon over Cal Poly allocatfng $1.05M for the roofing project and
the $600k payment from the MEMRRP, explaining it was her understanding, from the
facilitfes subcommittee meetfng, that the $600k is the payment from the city and FPAC.
• Gruss explains the project is currently being paid through the MEMRRP entfrely due to
the pending completfon of the Operatfng Agreement. The partner contributfons for the
project could be made in payments over multfple years.
• Baird-James shares that campus allocated the $1.05M for the roof project in FY 24/25
in antfcipatfon of expected funding challenges at the state level in future years.
• McDonald suggests rewording of the explanatfon of the PAC contributfon listed in the
2025/26 PAC MEMRRP proposed budget table to explain that the $600k is allocated for
the roof repair project and to be spent for that purpose in FY 25/26.
4
• Gruss explains that the budget and finance subcommittee recommend the language of
the current explanatfon after many revisions. Since the roofing project needs to begin
prior to the Operatfng Agreement revisions and subsequent funding commitment by
the partners, the PAC is prepaying the $600k to start the project on tfme in FY 25/26.
• Baird-James clarifies that Cal Poly cannot begin a project without base funding and that
the $600k from the 25/26 PAC MEMRRP budget will be transferred to the university
reserve for facilitfes to utflize for the roof project.
• Gruss notes the PAC will utflize the MEMRRP to fund the roof repair project and the
partners will decide if/when that will be reimbursed. He further explains that using the
MEMRRP in this way is not how the fund was designed and is not a sustainable model
considering the upcoming inevitable increase in necessary projects to maintain a 30-
year-old building. The MEMRRP is intended to fund smaller projects such as theater
seat replacements, lightfng, equipment, etc. and if this fund is utflized for the roof
repair project, without reimbursement by the partners, the PAC will need to request
funding for future projects the fund was designed for.
• Baird-James reiterates the importance of a long-term view of the MEMRRP, especially
concerning antfcipated repairs and maintenance projects, to appropriately project a
baseline balance of the fund to sustain the PAC as it ages and to support the mission of
the MEMRRP.
Vote: Approval of the 2025/26 MEMRRP proposed budget
Vote approved with the following stipulations:
Omission of the descriptfon under 50 General Facility:
Roof and Gutter Refurbishment - Cal Poly has held $1,059,195 for the project. PAC is holding
additional $600k from MEMRRP to get the project started with added contingency. This
portion is being held pending funding from City/FPAC as we finalize updating operating
agreement. 1/6 of total project estimate would be $264,798
Agreement that the $600k highlighted in the MEMRRP are encumbered funds, designated
as the initfal payment for the roofing project.
1st McDonald, 2nd VanDorn, motion passed unanimously
7. Budget and Finance Subcommittee Report Gruss
2024/25 Operating Budget Actuals to date and Projections Gruss
5
• Gruss shares the PAC Operatfng Revenue increased 10% from 23/24 to 24/25, making it
an all-tfme record high. Additfonally, May 2025 was the highest revenue month for the
PAC. Significant impacts to the increase include; a full month of events, technical labor
charge backs, tfcket sales, and rentals for commercial shows.
• Gruss explains, with higher revenue comes higher expenses including; intermittent
technical staff salaries (to staff more shows), bank merchant fees from sales, marketfng
for co-promotfon shows, and parking.
• At the Budget and Finance Subcommittee meetfng, FPAC requested a new line item, PAC
Outreach/Student Matinee Program, which is now available. This new line item
combines amounts from other line items related to the PAC Outreach/Student Matfnee
Program including; travel, software, miscellaneous , salaries, and operatfons.
• Insurance increased significantly and the PAC is optfng to change the deductfble pending
confirmatfon from Cal Poly.
• Overall, the PAC is projectfng a surplus of $88,409.
• MacDonald congratulates Gruss for the projected budget surplus.
• Gruss explains it’s due to the effort from the team and new approaches they
incorporated to create efficiencies.
2025/26 Proposed Operating Budget Gruss
• Gruss shares the 25/26 Proposed PAC Operatfng Budget was approved by the Budget
and Finance Subcommittee 6/12/25 and includes the 2.5% increase in partner
contributfons. This is being presented to the Commission for consideratfon as the next
step in the process.
• Gruss notes the PAC projects a balanced budget for the next fiscal year and while they
hope for another record-breaking year like 24/25, planning for that isn’t sustainable.
• Changes to 25/26 season include fewer commercial events currently on the calendar,
antfcipated Spanos Stadium work and concerts, and increase in tfcketfng fees by
Paciolan.
• Projected savings in Management Salaries are due to work at Spanos Stadium, with
nearly $40k in savings last year due to PAC staff working at Spanos in lieu of hiring
additfonal staff for that work. For this work, the team tracks their hours at Spanos as
they do for technical labor at the PAC.
• Salaries in Operatfons is projected to be higher in 25/26 due to an increase in salaries for
part-tfme intermittent staff to provide comparable wages to other local venues to
maintain the team. Gruss explains the PAC part-tfme intermittent staff is critfcal to the
PAC’s success.
• Travel and training will be limited to essentfal only for 25/26. In 24/25 the PAC provided
professional development for PAC administratfve staff but in a leaner year, this is not
possible.
• Facilitfes Maintenance, Custodial, and Improvements will remain steady due to the
Service Level Agreement (SLA) for custodial services and no antfcipated significant work
orders.
• Stewart enquires about removing KSBY from the marketfng plan for 25/26. Pitman
explains that traditfonal media is a large expense and difficult to track. They plan to
6
alternate years for traditfonal media as television viewership changes. Gruss further
explains they’ve seen success in other areas of marketfng outside of KSBY, so that is their
focus for 25/26.
• Sullivan asks about commercial rentals and how those are determined. Gruss explains
commercial rentals are predominately inquiry based, and the PAC maintains
relatfonships with local promoters and presenters to stay on their radar. Once they come
to the PAC they often return, with the challenge being getting tours to stop on the
central coast. Sullivan asks about Graystone and if there are other promoters the PAC is
currently working with. Gruss confirms Graystone is a repeat client that booked their
subsequent show while they were stfll in the building with their initfal show. Gruss
explains the PAC and Cal Poly Arts receive consistent inquiries for shows, but they’re
usually looking for the PAC to present them which is not feasible with the current
Operatfng Agreement and organizatfonal setup. Presentfng venues have larger staffs,
partfcularly in development and marketfng, as well as larger budgets.
• Machamer asks for further details of the compositfon of the Operatfon Salaries. Gruss
explains it includes 12 full tfme staff, 100 part-tfme intermittent staff, and 50 student
workers. Gruss, McPherron, and Barizo’s salaries are accounted for in the Management
Salaries line, and Farrell’s salary from the PAC is in Taxes and Fiscal Charges. Machamer
suggests outlining the part-tfme intermittent staff from Operatfon Salaries to better
understand the correlatfon between shows and intermittent staff hours. Gruss agrees
that is something they can do moving forward.
Vote: Approval of the 25/26 Proposed Operating Budget
1st Machamer, 2nd Murphy, motion passes unanimously
Current Reserves Gruss
• Gruss shares the projected ending balance of the operatfng reserve is $1M, satfsfying
the target policy of 20% of the current year operatfng expenses.
• There is an ongoing discussion of transferring additfonal surplus, above the targeted
20%, into the MEMRRP in future fiscal years.
• Other reserves within the fund include the PAC Director Special Initiative Fund - intended
to fund opportunitfes to further the PAC, the PAC Co-Pro Risk Mitigation Fund which
increased $10k and is intended for Co-Promotfon shows, Ticketing Reserve with Cal Poly
Athletics, and the MEMRRP.
• Stewart asks about the new policy for transferring additfonal funds from the reserves to
the MEMRRP and where/when that will be discussed. Gruss confirms it will be outlined
in the new Operatfng Agreement by the executfve committee, with input from the
budget and finance committee.
8. Proposed Schedule for 2025/26 Gruss
Event Schedule Gruss
7
• Gruss presents the PAC event schedule notfng Cal Poly Arts beginning the season with 6-
10 more shows than usual in the first part of the season.
• Commercial shows include a Marshall Tucker Band with Graystone Productfons, and
ballets with Grand Kyiv Ballet and Vocal Arts Group.
• The current Operatfng Agreement requests that 2/3 of the dates in the hall be reserved
for Cal Poly and 1/3 for local arts organizatfons. In 24/25, 51% of dates in the hall were
Cal Poly and 49% local arts organizatfons, and 25/26 is projected to have similar
percentages.
• Overall, it’s a solid schedule with a heavier fall and winter than previous years, providing
an opportunity for more potentfal shows in the spring.
• Machamer asks about the Pavilion and expanding the usage of that space.
• Gruss explains it’s a space that is often used for hospitality and storage for large shows in
the hall. He explains his predecessor had a different approach for that space, looking to
book more events there as an artfstfc space, but that it’s expensive to use that space and
typically isn’t financially viable for the PAC or client.
• McPherron notes the space is mostly used as an event space for Cal Poly and when using
it as a performance space there aren’t adequate dressing rooms to support both the hall
and pavilion at the same tfme.
• Gruss further explains the Pavilion is also used by clients as a rehearsal space which isn’t
accounted for in the event calendar.
• Machamer further notes the scarcity of spaces available on campus and if utflizing the
Pavilion further could alleviate some of those limits.
• Gruss shares that most clients prefer to rehearse in the hall.
Vote: Approval of the PAC Proposed Schedule for 2025/26
Murphy 1st, Haft 2nd, motion passes unanimously
CCPACC/Subcommittee Schedule Gruss
• Gruss shares a few meetfngs were moved due to conflictfng dates with events and
performances, when parking would prohibit guests from attending , and that the PAC will
send calendar invites in the coming weeks.
9. Director’s Report Gruss
I. Event Updates
February – April events - Ryan
- Cal Poly Arts
o Dear Evan Hansen was extremely well received and was another successful two-
night run of Broadway. Those events are all hands-on deck kind of back-to-back
days and speaks to the depth and determination of our team and campus
8
o Complexions Dance was really a special evening and was one that the audience
really provided tons of positive feedback about. Cal Poly Arts is doing a great job
of creating special opportunities for our audiences by giving some post-show
talkbacks with the artist. I’d recommend attending those if you ever have the
opportunity
- Graystone
o A new promoter for us this year who brought Randy Travis and trumpeter, Chris
Botti. Both were well received by the audience and the Graystone team raved
about their experience with us. They’ve already opened sales for the Marshall
Tucker Band in October and have a hold for another potential event in January.
- Civic Ballet
o Civic Ballet put on the Wonderful Wizard of Oz a couple of weeks ago. They
hadn’t had a Spring show with us in the past decade and took a big risk adding a
show the week of Easter. They were happy with how everything went and are
already wanting to look at potential dates for next year. Finding 4-5 open dates on
the calendar is not an easy feat, but we are hopeful to add that event and make it
an annual tradition
- Chabad of SLO
o We hosted the Journey of Manny Lindenbaum event in early April. It was a
powerful night to hear about Manny’s life and experience escaping the Holocaust.
This event has become an annual opportunity for the campus community to come
together and one we are honored to be a part of
- Shen Yun
o Today is day 2 of Shen Yun at the PAC. This event is always a tricky one for us.
The organization behind this group has been in the news quite a bit this year with
a federal investigation ongoing. We’ve experienced an increase in negative emails
saying that we shouldn’t bring them here and is a consistent education to our
community that by hosting an event, that doesn’t always mean we are supportive
or standby everything that the group stands for. That is a complicating piece of
our structure as we try to explain the difference between a Cal Poly Arts presented
event and a rental for a commercial client. Given the number of times this group
has been here and the challenge of ticket sales this year, I expect this trip to be the
last with us for the foreseeable future
II. Upcoming Events
- Green and Gold and Spotlight
o We will be hosting a couple of exciting events this week with Green and Gold and
Spotlight. This is the first time during my 12 years at the PAC that we have hosted
Green and Gold and we are excited to be a part of it. We will then quickly
transition to supporting Cal Poly Arts Spotlight event and are excited to unveil an
amazing season that they have in store
- Tina
o We have our final Broadway show of the season and it will be another full team
effort. Multiple people on our team will have 30 hours of work alone in those two
days
- SLO Symphony and Opera SLO
9
o The next two weekends will consist of SLO Symphony who will be hosting their
Gala dinner on the night of their final concert. They will be utilizing the plaza for
their dinner and then moving inside for their season finale
o Opera SLO moves in Sunday for their full week of Wizard of Oz. Both shows will
be sell outs.
III. Misc Operations
- St Fratty’s Day
o Our ticketing team helped support the St Fratty’s Day concert on campus and we
also served as the green room for the headlining artists. It was quite the
experience and while the 2AM start time was a bit painful; it was good to assist
the campus with an important event and we are ready to support in additional
ways next year
- Open House/Rodeo
o April also holds Open House week, which has a huge impact on our team. It’s
probably ticketing’s biggest week with 4 sold out rodeo events and multiple
sporting events. Our tech team also supported a full Stadium event and 6 different
department events on one of the days. Those events were also supported by our
front of house and volunteer team. Next year is likely to be even more interesting
as we aim to support the Rodeo moving back to Spanos Stadium
- Financial Audit
o Our annual audit with Glenn Burdette was completed a couple of weeks ago. We
have provided a digital copy of the audit report to the Budget and Finance
Subcommittee members and would happily provide the report to any Commission
members who’d like to see it
- 2025-26 Season Schedule
o With Spotlight happening this weekend, our calendar has begun to open for non-
ticketed events and commercial clients. We will be providing a full print out of the
2025-26 schedule in June for your approval
- PAC Outreach
o Monday marked the end of our PAC Outreach season, and I will throw to Andrea
to provide an update on the year of student matinees.
- May/June
o Looking at the next two months, we have two days between today and June 27
where our team isn’t supporting an event in this building. During this time, we
will also support a 3500 person Rec Center concert, 6 Stadium Commencement
ceremonies, provide graphic design support for the Cal Poly Arts brochure,
renovate two dressing rooms and prep the majority of next season to go on-sale
with our ticketing and marketing teams.
o To say I’m proud of this team would be an understatement. They give so much
time, energy and dedication to this community and campus and I’d just like to say
thank you for their consistent and exemplary work
(Questfons and comments during the Director’s Report are below with the speakers in bold.)
• Re: St. Patrick’s Day - Stewart asks about tfcketfng challenges for St. Patrick’s Day and if
there is new model of similar high-volume events. Gruss explains the PAC website
10
worked efficiently and operated as planned and that the issue was the limitatfons of the
tfckets available and the high demand among students. Within 10 hours of the event,
17,000 students attempted to acquire 5,000 tfckets.
• Re: Cal Poly and Cal Maritfme merger - Machamer asks about the merging of Maritfme
and Cal Poly and the potentfal to process athletfcs tfcketfng and other opportunitfes.
Gruss explains the PAC hasn’t been asked to handle tfcketfng for Maritfme. Baird-James
explains the Cal Maritfme and Cal Poly merger is primarily on the administratfve side at
this tfme.
• Re: Spanos Stadium - Haft thanks the PAC team for taking over Spanos Stadium,
highlightfng the exceptfonal quality of work and service, emphasizing the cleanliness and
quality of the patron experience.
Marketing Report Pitman
• Pitman explains the PAC utflized digital marketfng through Paciolan again this season as
well as a google platiorm, Performance Max (PMAX), relying on dynamic AI coordinated
content on Google and YouTube. This new strategy provided a 200% increase in revenue.
• The PAC contfnues utflizing Google Search Ads to compete with third party tfcketfng
sites, guiding patrons directly to the PAC website. Pitman expanded the search terms
and definitfons of the PAC, since it’s known by a variety of names in the community, to
facilitate this.
• The KSBY evergreen commercial brought over 2M website impressions. This commercial
was a collaboratfon between the PAC and KSBY. Currently, traditfonal media is more
expensive with less return than other types of media, so the PAC plans to focus on digital
media yearly and utflize traditfonal media for special seasons such as the 30th
anniversary.
• Email system automatfons this year included the prelude dinners (providing $3,100 in
revenue), mobile tfcket reminder, and cart abandonment. This seamless integratfon has
been beneficial for our team and the community.
• Website visits increased 33% with 371K total visits, with an overall increase in a diverse
and engaged audience.
• Social Media impressions increased 19% this year, an increase of 135% since 2022.
• Pitman also shares the Spanish translatfon of the PAC website, making the site more
accessible to Spanish speakers.
• Overall, it was a big year of growth in revenue and community engagement.
• Clark thanks the PAC marketfng team for their work and explains their efforts contribute
directly to the success of CPA. Clark further acknowledges that this isn’t something the
PAC has to do but they do so in support of CPA and it is immensely appreciated.
Outreach Report Castillo
• Castillo shares in 24/25 there were 12 performances by 6 artists
• In 25/26 there are 13 performances scheduled with 2 more pending.
• This next season the PAC will be adding local groups:
o Opera San Luis Obispo and SLO County of Education collaboration
o PCPA, outreach tour in Santa Maria, coming to Spanos Theatre.
11
o US Army Band
• All other matinees are in partnership with CPA
• Reservations open in August for school sign ups
10. Additional Business Baird-James
• Baird-James shares the executfve committee met and discussed the importance of attendance
of all partners in general and subcommittee meetfngs to maintain communicatfons and input,
highlightfng gratftude to the partners for their dedicatfon to the committee and in forming the
new Operatfng Agreement.

Dear Mayor Erica Stewart and Council Member Jan Marx,
Our names are Katy Clark and Fiona Hastings and we are news reporters for Mustang News, writing a story
about the Grand Jury Fraternity investigation regarding the report, “Round & Round with Town & Gown” and the
city’s response to it, and how they are working with Cal Poly Slo, the SLOPD and the county to address this.
As the City Council Members on the Ad Hoc committee that wrote a response to the Grand Jury, we were
wondering if we could schedule an interview with you in the next week to talk about the process of writing this
response and how the city is dealing with the issue, as well as more context on the issue.

We look forward to talking with you and have a wonderful day.

Hello Teresa,
I’m writing on behalf of Cal Poly’s Inter Housing Council (IHC; formerly the Inter Hall Council) to request a calendar
hold for Mayor Stewart between 12:00 and 3:00 PM on Saturday, October 11, for our annual Council Training Day.
We would be honored to welcome the Mayor for a short keynote and Q&A with our student leaders. Specifically, we’re
hoping she might:
Share her leadership story at Cal Poly and in the SLO community (including past student leadership roles);
Speak to the importance of alternative late-night programming as part of a healthy campus/community
ecosystem; and
Participate in a concise Q&A with student leaders.
We are finalizing the day’s schedule now and will follow up in the coming days to confirm the exact timing within the
12–3 PM window (anticipating ~45 minutes total). The program will be held on the Cal Poly campus; room details and
run-of-show to follow.
Please let us know if the Mayor is available to hold this window and if there are any preferred formats or talking-point
guidelines we should keep in mind. We’re happy to tailor the session accordingly.
I appreciate your consideration. Our students would be thrilled to learn from the Mayor’s experience.
Best,

Hello Mayor Stewart,
This is Weston Patrick from Cal Poly ASI we met a few times last year during a few of our civic engagement
events, as I served as Secretary of External Affairs. This year, I am serving as the ASI Secretary of Community
Relations, which is a role focused on finding ways to better connect Cal Poly students to the greater San Luis
Obispo Community. Within my role, ASI will be hosting a “Welcome Back to the Neighborhood” social media
campaign focused on fostering strong community relationships and reintroducing students to campus
resources.
We hope to film a series of short videos with various campus and city partners to be posted throughout the first
week of school, reminding students of important considerations as they settle back into their school routines.
For the closing video of this campaign, we are hoping to bring you, Marc, and Isaac together for a joint message
welcoming students back to San Luis Obispo for the coming year and a reminder from the city of SLO that we
are all community members and are here to support each other. This video could also be an excellent
opportunity to express any messages or reminders the city has as we start this new year.
We are planning on filming these videos somewhere in the range of September 12th to 19th; however, we are
flexible in finding a date that works for you.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We hope you’ll join us in
this exciting campaign!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Weston Patrick

Subject: Corrections: Cal Poly - City of SLO Grand Jury Report
Good morning members of the SLO County Grand Jury,
Thank you to you and the entire Grand Jury for your diligent work to put together the report regarding Cal
Poly and the City of SLO’s efforts to support student’s making the best choices possible and ensuring the
City’s neighborhoods are places where all residents can thrive.
There are a few corrections we would like to submit for your consideration.
115
1. The report states that: “However, the expansion of the university has led to significant challenges in
housing availability, both on and off campus.”
Correction: Over the past two decades, Cal Poly has more than accommodated its enrollment
increases by investing nearly a billion dollars in constructing new student beds on campus. In fact,
using the year identified in the report (2005), Cal Poly has about 700 LESS students living off
campus/in the community today than we did in 2005. I’ve attached a spreadsheet that includes
greater detail and sources for this information.
There were 14,855 students living off campus in 2005 (the year the Grand Jury used for Cal Poly’s
enrollment numbers).
As of Fall 2024, the most current academic year, there were 14,132 students living off campus.
Another important component worth noting is that many students live outside city limits,
commute, study abroad, or are part-time distance learners. In fact, a few years ago Cal Poly
launched the Local Address Project; a survey asking students to identify where they reside in our
local communities. At the time, seventy percent of all students updated their local physical
addresses through this effort. From the data collected, we were able to identify that
approximately 11% of students were living outside of the City of San Luis Obispo.
In recent years, Cal Poly has housed more students than ever before and the highest percentage
of students in its history (37-40%). Cal Poly has the largest housing program in the CSU. In addition,
Cal Poly is actively planning to increase on campus student and workforce housing capacity.
Cal Poly’s 10-year, $1.2 billion Housing Future Plan is actively in motion. This includes
replacing North Mountain halls, building on the adjacent parking lots, and adding from 3,300-3,800
new beds — with the first building expected to open its doors for fall 2026. For details:
http://www.housing.calpoly.edu/future-housing
Another important consideration in this discussion is that we have significantly increased the
percentage of our students who are from the local area. In 2015, students from our local service
area made up 6% of our total new student population. In fall of 2024, local students made up 12%
of our new student population. So. while the percentage of students to the enrollment at Cal Poly
has grown by 4%, local students make up a significant amount of that enrollment growth. A major
factor in our growth strategy has been to provide additional opportunities for our local students
(who are twice as likely to be admitted than non-local students) to earn a Cal Poly degree.
There is also a comment about the negative impact that Cal Poly’s growth is having on the City’s
infrastructure. Cal Poly is currently constructing a Water Reclamation Facility project ($40 million
investment) that will dramatically reduce Cal Poly’s impact on the City’s sewer system and
treatment facility - reducing it to minimum required flows. It will also reduce our water usage to
levels significantly lower than 2005. Once construction is complete, we’ll be using less water, less
sewer capacity, and less energy.
2. This statement: “Due to the lack of on-campus student housing, some students must live off-
campus” implies that there is an expectation that Cal Poly house all of its students. I don’t believe
that is a realistic expectation and ask that it be reframed or removed from the report.
3. “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.” p. 10
Clarification: While it is true that addresses are no longer available due to privacy complaints from
students and in alignment with many other CSUs, Cal Poly continues work with the City of SLO on
these issues through regular meetings and communication with Community Development, Code
116
Enforcement, and SLOPD as recently as this week. Several outcomes have come from these
meetings including:
1. Coordination of City officials to speak directly with students and groups about a variety of
topics including noise, neighbor relations, understanding their CUPs, and an overview of
how to engage with City government.
2. Preparation of students who are seeking new CUPs or responding to reviews of their CUPs
by both the Planning Commission and City Council.
3. Cal Poly now has a copy of existing CUPs and is able to assist with the onboarding process
for new student leadership for each organization.
4. The City of SLO now sends noise violation information to Cal Poly for review and we have
engaged the Interfraternity Council in a process for peer accountability.
5. Cal Poly has also offered to consult on language for new CUPs as appropriate and provide a
review of existing CUPs for accuracy (several are attributed to the wrong organization, the
wrong address, non-existent organizations, and unrecognized organizations).
Again, thank you for the time and effort put into this report. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on
our suggested changes to the report.
Gratefully,
Courtney

Mayor Stewart and SLO City Council Members -
I am writing to request the opportunity to meet with you ahead of the September 2nd City Council meeting regarding
the consent agenda item on one-time funding for the Cal Poly Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship’s downtown
location. I’ve attached the letter on the request for additional information.
As you know, the CIE has been an important partner in strengthening San Luis Obispo’s entrepreneurial ecosystem,
supporting students, startups, and local businesses while contributing to the vitality of our downtown. The proposed
one-time funding is critical to ensuring the success of our new downtown hub, which will provide expanded
opportunities for innovation, community engagement, and economic development.
We would greatly value the chance to meet with you in advance of the vote to answer any questions you may have,
share more about the vision for this facility, and discuss how it will benefit the city and community. We’d be happy to
meet 1-1 or 2-2-1, whichever is your preference, next week on Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning. We can
also meet on September 2nd ahead of the meeting.
Thank you for your leadership and consideration. Please let me know a convenient time to connect before the
upcoming meeting.
Best,
KT

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
August 15, 2025
City of San Luis Obispo
Attn: Mayor and City Council Members
990 Palm Street
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
Subject: One-Time Funding Request for the Cal Poly Center for Innovation &
Entrepreneurship
Dear Mayor Stewart and Members of the San Luis Obispo City Council,
Construction is well underway at 1144 Chorro Street—the future downtown home of the Cal
Poly Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CIE) and the Cal Poly Mustang Shop. As
previously shared, our vision for this location is to create a dynamic regional hub for
entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development, activating a storefront that been
vacant for 15 years. In support of this vision, we respectfully request $250,000 in one-time funds
from the City of San Luis Obispo.
While we are excited about what’s to come, it’s important to recognize the tremendous success
the CIE has already achieved through its current downtown presence at the HotHouse. Since its
founding in 2010, the CIE has played a vital role in developing entrepreneurial talent in our
region. The CIE has launched 125 companies, helped raise more than $250 million in capital,
and witnessed acquisitions that totaled $650 million. Thousands of students and community
members have benefited from CIE programs, tools, and mentorship.
The HotHouse has become the cornerstone of Cal Poly’s commitment to San Luis Obispo and
regional economic development. In addition to our student programming, it houses the Small
Business Development Center, which supports over 500 clients annually, and our two-year
Incubator program, which helps early-stage companies grow into financially stable, high-growth
enterprises. These achievements have been made possible through the support of valued partners
like the City of San Luis Obispo.
More than 50% of our SBDC clients are based in the City of San Luis Obispo. Our HotHouse
location will provide expanded opportunities to engage our local entrepreneurship community
and will allow us to work with regional partners to advance our economic development goals.
Upon opening in the first half of 2026, the HotHouse will expand its offerings to include
entrepreneurship events, speaker series, and economic development convenings, all supported by
a purpose-built event space. This space, available for community bookings, will accommodate
up to 70 guests seated or up to 100 in a cocktail-style setting.
The expanded coworking space—currently operating at nearly full capacity—will allow us to
serve more local entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses. The HotHouse consistently
maintains a waiting list for private offices, and the new facility will double the number available.
This increased capacity will not only meet existing demand but also draw more professionals,
startups, and visitors into downtown San Luis Obispo, adding to its vibrancy and economic
activity.
The total project cost, including tenant improvements for the Cal Poly Mustang Shop, is $7.9
million. Of this, the CIE’s share for its new downtown facility is $4.25 million. As a self-
supporting nonprofit, the CIE is actively raising these funds. A lead donor has committed a $2
million dollar-for-dollar matching challenge to accelerate the campaign. To date, including
matched contributions and a $350,000 investment from the County of San Luis Obispo, we have
secured $1.86 million—leaving a funding gap of $2.39 million. The City’s proposed $250,000
contribution would directly reduce this gap and be applied exclusively to the HotHouse portion
of the project, ensuring the new facility is fully equipped to serve the community.
The City’s contribution would fund the outfitting of the event space and community coworking
areas, offsetting costs associated modernized audio-visual systems, conference tables and
seating, modular coworking desks, reception and lounge furnishings, whiteboards and
presentation boards, signage, lighting fixtures, and other movable equipment needed to ensure
the space is fully functional and welcoming for community use.
The County and City grants are critical in demonstrating to private donors the long-term
commitment of our local government partners, and the importance supporting local small
businesses, and the innovation and entrepreneurial community. We believe this investment
strongly aligns with the City’s Economic Development Strategic Plan and the Future of
Downtown – Downtown Development Recommendations. The CIE’s ongoing success
contributes to the vitality of our local economy and elevates San Luis Obispo’s reputation as a
center of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Thank you for considering this funding request. With your support, we can further empower
students, support entrepreneurs, and deepen the connection between Cal Poly and the City of San
Luis Obispo.
Sincerely,
Karen Tillman

Currently, I have you scheduled on August 20 at 10 a.m. They also have another meet & greet up to 10 a.m. Would
you be available from 10:30-11:30, perhaps at Scout Coffee downtown? This would give them drive time. They could

Hello Teresa,
2
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.
Thanks so much for your help,

Hello MHRIS Faculty,
I hope you are doing well! In the weeks ahead, our area is going to begin planning for our next academic calendar year and I
wanted to share some material and touch base in the context of our shift to semesters. In addition to sharing material, I would
also like to extend an invitation to a zoom meeting this coming week on Thursday from 11:10-12:00 (please see separate email
invitation). At this meeting I will briefly walk through some of the key changes ahead and then try to leave plenty of time for
open Q&A. If you can’t make that time and you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out by email or stop by my office
hours, which this quarter are T/R 2:00-3:00. Don’t hesitate to stop by! I apologize in advance if you are already familiar with the
information I share here. I wanted to reach out, make sure we all have the same information, and open the lines of
communication for any questions and concerns that you may have.
Here is a brief summary of relevant information:
Concentration Curriculum
In terms of relevant OCOB and MHRIS courses, attached are rough draft concentration flow-charts for both IS and MHR. These
are intended to offer a big picture perspective on the curriculum and flow for our students as we move into the semester
system.
Scheduling
For class scheduling, attached is a pdf of meeting time patterns that we will be using. Note that we will no longer be using Cal
Poly time. For a much deeper dive, please click HERE to view the registrar’s detailed outline of semester course scheduling
planning, including final exam schedules and general guidance.
Teaching Load
For full-time lecturers, a full course load will be considered a 5-5, for a total of 10 courses per year. This teaching load may be
lower if the faculty member takes on service work, pending approval by Damon.
Salaries
I spoke with Damon and he does not anticipate changes in annual salaries or per-class remuneration related to the shift to
semesters. For more questions on salary or remuneration, I am happy to take your questions and pass them on to Damon and
Kristy, or also encourage you to speak with them or other HR representatives directly if that would be useful. If you are able to
share questions with me before we meet on Thursday I can ask the dean’s office and potentially bring more answers to our
meeting.
I’m sure you may have more questions that are not covered here. Will you please share any questions or concerns you have so
that I can research and try to find answers?
Thank you for your time and all of your hard work! I look forward to talking with you each more at our meeting and in the wee ks
ahead.
Best regards,
Taryn

Subject: Meeting Request with Mayor Stewart
Hello Teresa,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out to see if Mayor Stewart might have availability within the next three
weeks to meet and discuss current ASI and Cal Poly initiatives, as well as opportunities to continue
strengthening our partnership with the City of San Luis Obispo.
I would greatly value the opportunity to connect and share updates on student-led efforts, collaboration
opportunities, and areas where we can continue aligning campus and city priorities. I'm happy to accommodate
the Mayor’s schedule and can meet at a time and location that is most convenient.
I understand that you coordinate scheduling, so please let me know if there is any additional information I can
provide to assist in arranging this meeting.
Best,
Marc Fredy B. Cabeliza
