Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and the concert will end by 10 p.m. Load-in will begin Friday, Sept. 19, (with sound checks occurring that day). California Boulevard will be closed at 5 p.m. Saturday to manage traffic and ensure safety. Security screenings will be in place at four entry gates, and medical staff will be on-site. Noise and traffic impacts are expected to be similar to a Cal Poly football game. 蘃蘄蘅 Quarter to Semester Conversion and Year-Round Operations Cal Poly is switching to a semester-based calendar starting academic year 2026-27, to align with all other CSU campuses. The university community has pursued this transition with thoughtfulness and vigor. Cal Poly is also moving toward a Year-Round Operations (YRO) model starting academic year 2027-28, to allow us to increase the number of students who can benefit from a Cal Poly education and to make access to high-impact practices such as study abroad and internships available to more of our students through greater schedule flexibility. More information can be found here. 説読誮誯誰誳誱課 Future Student Housing Cal Poly’s 10-year, $1.2 billion Housing Future Plan remains in motion. This includes replacing North Mountain halls, building on the adjacent parking lots, and adding roughly 3500 new beds— with the first building expected to open its doors for fall 2026. This plan also includes summer renovations in the Red Bricks, modernizing these high-demand residence halls. More information can be found here. 諫諤諥諦諬諭諧諨諩諪 Faculty and Staff Housing Significant progress is being made on the 33 for-sale Vista Meadows faculty and staff housing project at the corner of Grand Avenue and Slack Street. The most noticeable activity and changes have been the asphalt concrete paving and overlay on curb, gutter, and sidewalk work on Grand Avenue. The teams smoothed out the pavement at the Grand Avenue entrance to campus in late August. The foundation work for the first homes will start in the fall. The first home scheduled for completion in late spring 2026. This is the second major project in our workforce housing program, following the success of Bella Montana’s 70 homes. We are exploring additional development sites to eventually offer 400–600 workforce housing units, including rental options on or near campus. These investments are directly responding to long-standing recruitment and retention challenges — and offering real relief in a tight local housing market. More updates: Cal Poly Partners Housing  Cal Poly Maritime Integration Update As of July 1, 2025, Cal Maritime officially integrated with Cal Poly. Dr. Corey Cook is now the vice president and chief executive officer of the Cal Poly Solano Campus, and Rear Admiral (Ret.) Eric C. Jones, USCG is superintendent of the Cal Poly Maritime Academy. President Armstrong oversees both campuses. 4 In summer of 2026, we will celebrate the last official Cal Maritime graduates. Then in fall of 2026, we will welcome all students as Cal Poly students. All existing and future students who complete their degree requirements in fall 2026 or in future terms will graduate with Cal Poly degrees. 껩껥껪 Campus Noise Concerns If you experience noise issues that seem to exceed permitted levels or hours, you can contact the Cal Poly Police Department’s (CPPD) non-emergency line anytime: 긒긓 805-756-2281 긼긽긾긿김깂깁 police@calpoly.edu CPPD is available 24/7/365 and can assess whether events are compliant with Cal Poly’s sound policy.

Kennedy Library Opening this Fall As the fall quarter approaches, workers at the Robert E. Kennedy Library are putting the final touches on the newly renovated building. In early September, Facilities staff 3 toured the space with project managers, who shared insights into the landscaping and design process. One highlight: The three upper floors have been furnished almost entirely with reused pieces from the original library, and the second floor was partially furnished with reused furniture. These items were carefully disassembled, stored, and reconfigured for the new space. Furniture that was still in good condition but not needed was donated to Cal Poly Surplus for reuse across campus or in the community. Items beyond repair were recycled whenever possible. Project managers estimate that about 85% of existing furniture was reused in the redesigned space. So if you had a favorite chair, desk, or table in the old library, it might still be around! When you visit, see if you can spot it—like a game of “Where’s Waldo” in search of your new favorite study spot. Shop CP Thrift this September Imagine... you are going back to school shopping — but your store of choice is conveniently on campus, and everything is free. Luckily for you, University Housing has once again made this a reality for on-campus residents through CP Thrift! Between Sept. 11 and 19, there will be pop-ups throughout the housing areas, where on-campus residents can find essential items such as organizers, pots and pans, binders, lighting, and more — and yes, it’s all free. 4 At the end of every academic year when students move out of their residences, University Housing sets up donation areas where students can put items they no longer need. Those donated items are compiled, organized and stored over the summer until move-in happens in the fall. CP Thrift allows students to save time and money, all while conserving natural resources and keeping items out of the landfill. This program is responsible for preventing thousands of pounds of items from entering the landfill every year. Save yourself time and money by shopping CP Thrift this September. Cal Poly Food Pantry Recovers Over 100,000 Pounds of Food “Despite the state producing nearly half the country’s fruits and vegetables, one in five Californians are food insecure, meaning they have limited or uncertain access to adequate food.” – Cal Matters Food insecurity is an issue for about 20% of California’s population. Yet, California throws away 5-6 million tons of food waste annually. It’s clear that these numbers don’t add up, and Cal Poly Food Pantry is on a mission to close that gap by providing food to students, staff and faculty who experience food insecurity or instability. Because of a recent law, grocery stores, food distributors, schools, and others in California are required to donate their edible food rather than throwing it out. This has 5 led to a huge increase in food donations to the Cal Poly Food Pantry, allowing them to serve more people. In the 2024-2025 academic year alone, the food pantry rescued and redistributed 129,240 pounds of food. Just over 15% of that came from campus dining, with another 15% donated by the local food district and 65% was donated from local grocery stores. The rest was collected during move-out, with a whopping 3,759 pounds of food donated from students. Last academic year, the food pantry served 9,747 individuals, for a total of 84,479 visits. It is a widely used and valuable resource that provides benefit to thousands of individuals in the Cal Poly community, all while ensuring that food feeds people, not landfills. Cal Poly Food Pantry is open to all students 8:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. Staff and faculty are invited to visit on Fridays only. If you plan to visit, please bring your own reuseable mug and grocery bags, as the storefront no longer provides plastic bags or disposable coffee cups. Cal Poly Kicks off the STARS Report Cal Poly’s Energy, Utilities, and Sustainability Department is beginning work on its fourth STARS report! The STARS (Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, & Rating System) is a big sustainability assessment we complete every three years to compare our progress to other universities around the country. You can check out our most recent 2023 report here, in which Cal Poly received a Gold rating. The assessment is facilitated by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), and it is now a required report for all CSU campuses. The STARS report looks at a variety of different sustainability indicators, from 6 campus engagement to pest management practices and food recovery efforts (and everything in between). Our last report was submitted under version 2.2. This year, we will be submitting under version 3.0, which includes additional criteria in all four categories: academics, engagement, operations, and planning/administration. STARS reports are extremely helpful in guiding the campus toward more sustainable practices. President Armstrong has challenged Cal Poly to strive towards a Platinum rating, and we are excited for the undertaking! If you’re interested in learning more about the STARS report, please contact Amy Unruh, sustainability and waste specialist: alunruh@calpoly.edu. COMMUNITY NEWS Get a Free Zipcar Membership From now until Nov. 15, Zipcar is running a promotion in which students and staff/faculty can get a free annual membership with Zipcar! Typically, the fee is $25/year. Zipcar provides a convenient way to get around when a personal automobile isn’t available to you. Just sign up for a university membership and fees will be automatically waived. 7 The Farm Games Hoedown Join City Farm SLO’s biggest night of the year! Come for the farm games, stay for the hoedown... all while raising funds to grow the next generation of agricultural leaders. The evening will consist of regenerative farming themed games, a farm-to-table barbeque feast, a silent auction, and live music.

SLO Climate Coalition is partnering with the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation to offer free tours. On Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m., you can explore the biodiversity of our coast and learn about seaweed species native to the area. The group will meet at 750 Hearst Castle Road (near the shipwreck) in Estero Bluffs. Learn more here. 9 Nature Journaling at the SLO Botanical Garden Write SLO County a love letter! The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden has launched an ongoing nature journaling group who meets monthly on the third Saturday of the month, with a few exceptions. September’s session will be held on Sept. 20 from 10- 11:30 a.m. Sessions begin with 10-15 minutes of instruction or introduction of a theme. Then, members have the opportunity to journal independently in the garden. Last, you can share and hear from others about what they’ve written. Connect with nature and others. This workshop is open to all — no experience necessary. Feel Good Giving to the Eco Fund Sustainability is a key priority at Cal Poly, integrated into all aspects of the university, including operations, outreach, curriculum, and research. When you donate to the Eco Fund, funds will be used to support Learn by Doing opportunities for students. Recent projects include CP Thrift, Zero Waste Ambassadors, and various Green Campus projects. Not only will you support student success, but your tax-deductible contributions help support the university's mission to be carbon neutral by 2050! Click here to donate today!

As promised, attached to this email is last years “Noise in Review” presentation. There is neighborhood noise data in this one going back as far as 1999 (not 2010 as I said yesterday, I forgot I was extra historical in this presentation.) Highest number of complaints was in 2003 and the explanation for the 50% decrease is detailed in the Historical Timeline. I have also attached a (huge) document, Civility Report for short, that was created between 2013 and 2015 which details six areas of improvement that were identified by a working group comprised of Cal Poly staff, city staff, students, and neighborhood residents. One of the City’s Major City Goals at that time was “Neighborhood Wellness” and we spent a lot of resources on identifying issues, needs and then making neighborhood improvements. Last year, there was an accusation made in SCLC that the city and Cal Poly had not used the Civility Report to make changes and that is categorically false. I provided the attached memo detailing each of the six areas and what had been completed in each area and the reason for not making changes or addressing a concern identified in the report. Please let me know if you have any questions. Courtney Kienow is cc’d on this email; she is an excellent on - campus resource for much of this information as well. The Civility Report and subsequent action was a massive undertaking, and we made significant improvements in overall neighborhood wellness. The Noise in Review shows the data to back that up.

The effort was launched in May of 2013 with the support of the San Luis Obispo City Council, Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong, and Cuesta College President/Superintendent Gil Stork. This initiative aimed to discuss the changing culture of neighborhoods in San Luis Obispo resulting from the shifts of owner-occupied households to the increase in rental units, specifically by student-aged individuals. Collectively, the working group has a vision of building “a community in which year-round residents and students actively collaborate to build community and communicate in an environment that fosters mutual respect and understanding.” The unified goal of the working group has been to develop ideas for stakeholder consideration that are intended to “ enhance the quality of life for all residents.” The group responded to the six objectives created by the San Luis Obispo City Council with subsequent recommendations, desired outcomes, implementation leads and partners, and timelines for implementation. The objectives are outlined below, and each is addressed thoroughly in this report. Define short-term actions to enhance the quality of life Define stakeholders’ needs and success Identify university/city best practices Review enforcement best practices Engage stakeholders: review current educational and information efforts Prepare for sustained engagement to achieve desired vision and goal W From the recommendations above and active collaboration within the working group, three overall themes emerged: Increase communications from Cal Poly and Cuesta College Develop responses through solution-oriented initiatives Set in motion proactive measures to avoid repeating past mistakes and preventing new problems from occurring Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 4 PROCESS Beginning work in October of 2013, the Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort working group conducted a thoughtful study of the objectives outlined by the San Luis Obispo City Council and created a process to efficiently move the community into action. Champions were assigned to each objective, and the subsequent 13 meetings, hosted by Cuesta College, were devoted to discussions of the objectives, led by the champions. Champions for the objectives are presented below: N ote: Names in parentheses denote past working group members. During the robust discussions for each objective the entire working group offered feedback on the work of the champions and direction on how to proceed. Each group returned to conduct further studies based on the feedback and direction of this group. The champions provided recommendations to the working group in late 2014. Each of the recommendations were discussed and affirmed during the monthly meetings, which focused specifically on one particular objective. It is those recommendations that are presented in this report. OBJECTIVE ONE: Karen Adler, Julie Towery OBJECTIVE TWO: Katie Lichtig, Joi Sullivan (Jason Colombini), Dr. Anthony Gutierrez, Ju v ent i no Or t i z OBJECTIVE THREE: Derek Johnson, Stephanie Teaford (Justin Wellner, Betsy Kinsley) OBJECTIVE FOUR: Joe Arteaga, Steve Gesell, George Hughes, Chris Staley, Brenda Trobaugh OBJECTIVE FIVE: Scott Chedester (Charles Scovell), Dr. Anthony Gutierrez, Kimberly Hampton, Joi Sullivan (Jason Colombini), Christine Wallace OBJECTIVE SIX: Dr. Keith Humphrey, Sandee McLaughlin Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 5 Goal To define short-term actions that could be implemented to enhance the quality of life for all residents, particularly associated in the timeframe around the start of Cal Poly’s fall term. OBJECTIVE ONE: Define short-term actions to enhance the quality of life Champions Karen Adler, Community Julie Towery, Community Background Historically, there has been an increase in calls for service around the neighborhood areas adjacent to Cal Poly coinciding with start of the school year. This objective is set to define what short-term actions could lead to positive long-term effects during that timeframe. Short-term actions are also distributed among all objectives, thus are not exclusive to objective one.

Background The purpose of this objective is to identify the stakeholders’ needs and suggest solutions so that the outcomes reflect a desired environment for the community. To obtain a comprehensive assessment of the community’s needs and what success looked like, a communitywide survey was mailed in May of 2014. A total of 3, 774 surveys were completed and returned, physically and electronically. Of the completed surveys, 1,706 were from non- student residents, 1,783 were from individuals identifying themselves as either Cal Poly or Cuesta students, and 318 individuals did not associate themselves with any group. The full survey results and discussion is offered in Appendix C. Recommendations The assessment results provided a clearer picture of the stakeholder perceptions, which helped develop potential recommendations, such as: Evaluate best practices and implement strategies to reduce the number of disruptions from parties and noise in neighborhoods (as referenced in Objective Three) Develop and implement a rental housing inspection program Implement a range of strategies to change the relationship and culture between students and non-students in neighborhoods Explore and implement strategies to address the concentration of bars in the downtown area and related safety issues.

Background Universities and colleges across the nation impact the communities in which they exist in both positive and negative ways. The impact of students in residential neighborhoods has prompted higher education institutions to share best practices that can lead to improvements in community relationships and mitigate negative impacts. The objective explored various programs and efforts undertaken by universities and colleges nationwide. The following recommendations could provide a framework for improving relations between student residents and permanent residents of San Luis Obispo. Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 11 Recommendations To address student rental properties Create and implement a transition to Off-Campus Living Education Program, to be shared with Cuesta College’s Student Life Office Include expectations and responsibilities of living in neighborhoods in the City of San Luis Obispo (e.g. local ordinances) The successful completion of a culminating test will result in a Preferred Renter Certification with potential benefits offered by landlords Work with the city to generate a neighborhood map of housing rental properties and provide outreach to student renters by funding welcome bags for neighbors to distribute to establish positive interactions (University of Colorado, Boulder) Create a Renter/Rental Housing Inspection Program.

OBJECTIVE FOUR: Revi ew enforcement best pract i ces Champions Joe Arteaga, Cuesta College Steve Gesell, City of San Luis Obispo George Hughes, Cal Poly Chr i s Staley , Ci ty of San L ui s Obi spo Brenda Trobaugh, Cal Poly Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 18 Background In the past several years, both Cal Poly and the City of San Luis Obispo have engaged in numerous programs to address quality of life and community wellness. Both organizations have expanded professional staff dedicated to neighborhood wellness, created and modified ordinances, and implemented new programs to address pubic disorder and nuisance crimes including but not limited to: Amendments to the noise ordinance In 2010 the San Luis Obispo Police Department made recommendations to the city council regarding changes to the existing noise ordinance to improve noise reduction efforts. The modifications included reducing the number of allowable warnings to one every six months and to hold residential property owners responsible for repeat noise violations. Many landlords have since added language to their lease and rental agreements with penalties levied to their tenants who receive noise violations. These modifications were accepted by city council and noise complaints were significantly reduced by 30 percent for the following year and have been maintained since (see Table 1 below). Table 1: Total noise party violations reported from 2009 to 2014. 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Noise Violations 2584 2238 2013 1644 1672 1729 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 Noise Party Violations Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 19 Unruly Gathering Ordinance In 2010 the San Luis Obispo Police Department conducted research on Unruly Gathering Ordinances. After extensive research and outreach to the community and Cal Poly, an Unruly Gathering Ordinance was proposed and accepted by the city council. The ordinance was intended to prevent substantial disturbances on private property in a neighborhood. This included unlawful and disruptive behavior by large groups of people. On April 6, 2010, the city council adopted section SLMC 9.13.030 Prohibition of Unruly Gatherings. A violation of the Unruly Gathering Ordinance consists of hosting a gathering on private property that: Involves 20 people or more; and Involves unlawful conduct that creates a substantial disturbance in a significant segment of a neighborhood. “Unlawful conduct that results in a substantial disturbance can include such things as excessive noise, public drunkenness, serving alcohol to minors, fighting, urinating in public, crowds overflowing into yards, sidewalks, or streets, or similar unlawful behaviors.” Neighborhood Officer Program The San Luis Obispo Police Department initiated its Neighborhood Officer Program on December 1, 2013. The goal of the Neighborhood Officer Program is to quickly identify community issues, concerns, problems and crime trends that have long-term quality-of-life impacts on a particular neighborhood. The Neighborhood Officer Program allows for officers to coordinate resources to help solve these problems. This model of policing is both a philosophy and an organizational strategy that allows police and community residents to work closely together in new ways to solve problems associated with crime, fear of crime, social disorder and neighborhood decay. Attainable goals of this program include: Maintain or increase public confidence in the Police Department Decrease fear of crime Listen to and address citizen concerns Bring community resources together to solve problems Impact specific crime problems Reduce repetitive calls for service Educate the public about its Police Department Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 20 Student Community Success Program In 2013 Cal Poly hired a full-time off-campus student life coordinator to be both proactive and reactive in supporting students and neighborhood residents with neighborhood wellness initiatives. Responsibilities of the position include: Coordinate the resolution of off-campus conduct with university administration, city government and community members to find solutions for student’s problems or concerns Assist in mediating and resolving student/community conflicts Effect change in the social climate and relationships with specific responsibility of working with students and their neighbors within the local community Implement training sessions, presentations, and educational programs regarding substance abuse, civic and social responsibility One goal of the program is to create a Student Community Success Program with the mission to help students be successful off campus and address community concerns. The program is intended to change and encourage inappropriate behavior through community and student meetings, workshops, leadership panels, and peer-mentoring opportunities. Cal Poly University Police Off-Campus Patrols By authority of the California Penal Code, the University Police Department has legal authority to exercise peace officer powers within a one-mile radius of the exterior boundaries of campus (see Appendix A). In 2014 Cal Poly hired two additional police officers to expand proactive patrols within the neighborhoods directly adjacent to campus. The focus of these patrols has been to proactively discourage and enforce public disorder crimes.

OBJECTIVE FIVE: Engage stakeholders: review current educational & information efforts Champions Scott Chedester (Charles Scovell), Cuesta College Dr. Anthony Gutierrez, Cuesta College Kimberly Hampton, Cal Poly Joi Sullivan (Jason Colombini), Cal Poly Christine Wallace, City of San Luis Obispo Background This objective examines the methods, content and effectiveness of educational efforts put forward by Cal Poly, Cuesta College, the City of San Luis Obispo, and student resident groups. The inventory of channels of communication was compiled by representatives of Cal Poly, Cuesta College, and the City of San Luis Obispo. Neighborhood wellness meeting attendees, Cal Poly and Cuesta College student focus groups were presented with the inventory. An additional student subcommittee met to discuss the effectiveness of current methods and content. Suggestions for outreach changes made during the presentations based on the content effectiveness are reflected in the recommendations of this report. Recommendations The recommendation is to collaboratively create an annual communications plan containing neighborhood wellness messages and a process for communicating the information effectively to maximize resources. The communication plan should be reassessed annually to evaluate effectiveness and to ensure resources are not duplicated or wasted. Communications plan participants could consist of representatives from Cal Poly, Cuesta College and the city.

Additionally, the goal is to sustain regular communications between Cal Poly, Cuesta College, the City of San Luis Obispo, residents and students. OBJECTIVE SIX: Prepare for sustained engagement to achieve desired vision & goal Champions Dr. Keith Humphrey, Cal Poly Sandee McLaughlin, Cuesta College Background Neighborhood wellness issues in San Luis Obispo have historically been fragmented within each agency by implementing its own projects, causing confusion among year-round residents, and limiting the effectiveness of each individual effort. There is a unified desire among all constituencies in San Luis Obispo to see the quality of life improve in neighborhoods, and a structure to coordinate these efforts was missing. For almost three decades, the Student- Community Liaison Committee (SCLC) has brought the students of Cal Poly and Cuesta College together with city officials and residents for communication and discussion. This forum has been valuable to all parties, as any culture change related to neighborhood wellness rests with the students.

Chi, Ph.D. Department of Statistics California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 1 Intro duction On May 21, 2013, the Neighborhood Wellne ss / Community Civility Effort was launched in order to foster and improve the relationship between year round residents of San Luis Obispo, and students of California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), and Cuesta College. Specifically, there has been a growing concern regarding student partying and disruptive behavior across the city of San Luis Obispo. This has been highlighted by particular incidents of recent years, such as Cal Poly’s Week of Welco me (WOW) in 2012, when an estimated 2000+ students congregated in the residential area just directly south of campus, causing disruption and safety concerns as roads became impassable (City of San Luis Obispo, 2013) In addition to implementing particular strategies aimed at addressing WOW scheduling to at- tempt to keep students occupied on campus instead of disrupting neighborhoods surrounding cam- pus, the Neighborhood Wellness / Community Civility Effort implemented an opinion survey across the city of San Luis Obispo. This survey was meant to capture feedback from permanent residents and students, with the aim of identifying strategies to produce outcomes towards the overall goal of neighborhood wellness. In this report, data from the survey a re analyzed and reported in order to identify any notable trends. With no specific a priori hypotheses, this exploratory data analysis aims to capture anything that may be revealed from the data. A particular focus of the analyses, however, will be on identifying potential sources of conflict between Cal Poly students and non-student residents of San Luis Obispo. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 54 2 Metho dology The City of San Luis Obispo Opinion Survey was distributed with utility bills and across campus at Cal Poly. A total of 3,807 responses were received, and entered into SurveyMonkey (SurveyMonkey Inc., 2014). For analyses, the entire dataset was exported from SurveyMonkey as a comma-separated text file and imported into the statistical analys is p latform called R (R Development Core Team, 2011). Questions were written to either gain identifying information on an individual (such as “With what ethnicity do you most identify?”), or to gain content regarding how the individual feels about a particular topic or situation (such as a Likert-scale response to “I feel as though my neighbors are respectful of my property.”). For this report, these will be referred to as “identifying questions” and “content questions,” respectively. Figures 1 and 2 below are the actual survey, where the identifying questions can be seen in Figure 1: Questions 1 through 12, and the content questions are Questions 13 through the end, across both Figures 1 and 2. 1.

Collectively, the group has a vision of a community in which year round residents and students actively collaborate to build community and communicate in an environment that fosters mutual respect and understanding. With this vision comes a goal of enhancing the quality of life for all residents, with particular emphasis on building positive relations between residential and student–aged neighbors through a cultural shift in social behaviors. To learn more about this initiative, please visit www.slocity.org/police/communitycivility.asp The following survey is an integral s t e p i n this initiative. In order to assess the current conditions of neighborhood wellness, surveying residents of all ages and backgrounds will provide guidance for future actions taken by officials of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and Cuesta College. Please answer honestly and explain when you feel necessary. Should you have concerns arise about the survey, please contact Christine Wallace at cwallace@slocity.org. You have two options. You may complete the enclosed survey and return it in the postage-paid envelope OR you may complete the survey on-line at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/ s/PPNJHF6. Only one survey per person and only one survey per official postage-paid envelope please. Figure 2: Opinion Survey, page 2 Where appropriate, distributions of variables were compared using a standard statistical proce- dure known as a χ2 goodness-of-fit test (Pearson, 1900). As this pro ject was exploratory in nature, however, few formal statistical tests were actually performed. The ma jority of trends were simply shown in a qualitative manner, in graphical or tabular form. Additionally, a regular expression search was performed for certain free response questions, to isolate any common words that appeared most frequently. 3 Results 3.1 Descriptive Statistics An overview of our dataset, resulting from 3807 survey responses, is shown in Table 1. As expected, the vast ma jority of those between 18-24 years old are Cal Poly students (1591 out of 1672). Also, approximately 23% of non-students live in two areas that have a substantial student population: the APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 56 All residents Non-students Cal Poly Students Cuesta Students Characteristic Count Percent Count Percent Count Percent Count Percent Age 18-24 years o ld 1672 47.913 0.81591 95.86051.7 25-31 years o ld 144 4.168 4 54 3.32118.1 32-38 years o ld 117 3.4101 6 10 0.6 5 4.3 39-45 years o ld 119 3.4107 6.33 0.2 8 6.9 46-51 years o ld 114 3.3109 6.50 0 5 4.3 52-58 years o ld 264 7.6 256 15.21 0.1 6 5.2 59-65 years o ld 346 9.9 336 19.90 0 7 6 66-71 years o ld 275 7.9 273 16.20 0 1 0.9 72-78 years o ld 205 5.9 196 11.60 0 2 1.7 79-85 years o ld 148 4.2144 8.50 0 1 0.9 86+ years o ld 87 2.583 4.92 0.1 0 0 Ethnicity African American/Black 17 0.5 4 0.2 12 0.7 1 0.9 American Indian/Alaska Native 12 0.370.4 2 0.1 3 2.6 Asian 167 4.835 2.1128 7.7 3 2.6 Latino 162 4.732 1.9113 6.8 15 13 Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander 14 0.480.5 5 0.3 1 0.9 White/Caucasian 2951 85.21518 91.11329 80.2 85 73.9 Other (please specify) 140 4 62 3.7 69 4.2 7 6.1 Neighborhood Cal Poly area. 746 21.6 134 8 592 35.7 18 18 Downtown area. 427 12.3 281 16.7 127 7.7 19 19 Foothill/N.

Chorro area.” Among these non-student residents of these two areas, roughly 90% of them are above the age of 38, pointing towards the possibility of conflict between these residents and Cal Poly students. To determine the extent to which our study sample may have been biased with respect to the target population of all San Luis Obispo citizens, a comparison of the distributions of age and eth- nicity from our survey was made to that of 2010 Census data (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010). The χ2 goodness-of-fit test revealed that our age and ethnicity distributions were indeed statistically significantly different from those of the Census data. Specifically, 18-24 year olds were overrep- resented in our sample (47.9% compared to 39.6% in Census data), and African Americans were APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 57 underrepresented in our sample (0.5% compared to 1.2% in Census data). Additionally, Hispanic o r Latino ethnicities were not explicitly recorded in the 2010 Census data, so our accuracy with this population is unknown. 3.2 Strong Majority Opinion Exploration Our first analysis was to examine whether any content questions had a strong ma jority responding in any particular way. We scanned through the entire survey responses, with a threshold of 80% indicating a strong ma jority. Also, we looked at this within subgroups of the dataset, with subgroups defined by combinations of the identifying questions. Among all of the content questions, only two questions surfaced as having strong ma jority opin- ions through this exploration. They were (with majority response bolded): • W hen I return to my house after school or work: – I can assume that there will be parking relatively close to my house – I frequently have trouble finding parking relatively close to my house – I rarely find parking relatively close to my house • After the garbage companies empty the trashcans, I usually bring in my household’s trashcans off of the street: – The same evening – Sometime the next day – Within the next 2-3 days – Within the next week In the entire dataset, 81.1% responded that they can find parking relatively close to their house, and 80.9% responded that they bring in their trashcans on the same evening. Among subgroups defined by age, gender, ethnicity and all other identifying questions, plus combinations thereof, many subgroups identified these same two questions/responses at a greater than 80% rate. No other content question surfaced as having at least 80% of responses matching. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 58 Prop o rtion 0.0 0 .2 0 .4 0 .6 0 .8 3.3 Contrasting Questions Exploration 3.3.1 Trashcans As observed in the previous section, 80.9% of the study sample reported that they bring their trashcans in on the same day. While this does not directly point to any possible conflict, we can compare this to the responses of the next question: “After the garbage companies empty the trashcans, my neighbors usually bring in their household’s trashcans off of the street. . . ” Specifically, we can examine the distribution of responses among those who stated that they bring in their trashcans on the same day. Any of these individuals who report that their neighbors do anything other than bring their trashcans in on the same day will form a group who are potentially upset by this situation. This is summarized in Figure 3. Neighbors bring in their trashcans... (among those who responded that they bring in their trashcans the same evening) The same Sometime the Within the Within the evening next day next 2−3 days next week Response Figure 3: Distribution of responses about their neighbors, by people who reported bringing in their own trashcans on the same evening as the garbage companies empty them Since this is only among those who responded that they themselves bring in their trashcans on APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 59 Prop o rtion 0. 0 0 . 2 0 . 4 0 . 6 0 . 8 1 . 0 the same evening that the garbage companies empty them, it is plausible that they might expect the same from their neighbors. Thus, we observe that just over 30% of these individuals might potentially be upset by this situation. Additionally, we explored whether this dichotomy was driven by a differing attitude between students and non-students. That is, when do students b ring in their trashcans, and when do non- students b ring in their trashcans? This is summarized in Figure 4. After the garbage companies empty the trashcans, I usually bring in my trashcans off the street: Non−students CP students The same Sometime the Within the Within the evening next day next 2−3 days next week Response Figure 4: Student vs. non-student responses regarding when they bring in their own trashcans As we observe above, Cal Poly students tend to bring their trashcans in at a later time than the non-student population. In particular, only about 60% of Cal Poly students report that they bring their trashcans in on the same evening. Finally, we examined the free responses attached to this question. Among a total of 156 non- students who left a free response, approximately 35 of them left a comment that voiced frustration at the situation, such as: • “But some NEVER bring them in!” • “The adults do. Students not so much.” • “Po ly students don’t understand trash rules.” APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 60 Prop o r tion 0. 0 0 . 1 0 . 2 0 . 3 0 . 4 0 . 5 7−8p m 8−9p m 9−10 p m 10 −11 p m 11 p m o r lat e r In contrast, approximately 10 of the comments appeared to indicate that this should not be a concern of the city, e.g.: “I actually have no idea, I don’t care what my neighbors do with their trash cans as long as they don’t block my driveway.” The remaining comments appeared to be either neutral or of undeterminable tone. Also, an exam- ination of the student comments to this question revealed virtually zero who voiced frustration at the situation. It is important to note, however, that all of these counts are quite imprecise, as it was left entirely up to human judgement of a written phrase. 3.3.2 Time that it should b e quiet Questions 17 and 18 asked contrasting questions about what time it should be, and actually is, quiet on a weeknight. The overall distributions are summarized in Figure 5. I feel my neighborhood should be/is quiet on a weeknight (Sunday −Thursday) by approximately: should be is Figure 5: Side-by-side distributions of when it should be and is quiet on a weeknight. To determine the proportion who might potentially be upset at the situation surrounding this ques- tion, we categorized people as “potentially upset” if they responded that it usually is quiet at a later time than what they stated for when it should be quiet. In the entire dataset, 16.8% responded that it is quiet at a later time than they feel that it should be, on a weeknight.

To determine the proportion who might potentially be upset at the situation surrounding this ques- tion, we categorized people as “potentially upset” if they responded that it usually is quiet at a later time than what they stated for when it should be quiet. In the entire dataset, 14.8% responded that it is quiet at a later time than they feel that it should be, on a weekend night. When separated into Cal Poly students and non-students, the percentages potentially upset were 9.9% and 18.0%, respectively. 3.3.3 Quality of life at first vs. currently Questions 26 and 27 asked about the quality of life in San Luis Obispo, when first moved to the town, and currently. The overall distributions are summarized in Figure 7. Overall, it appears that people are reporting a declining quality of life after living in San Luis Obispo for some amount of tim e. Specifically, 28.8% of all respondants reported that their current quality of life is worse than when they first moved to San Luis Obispo. W hen separated into Cal Poly students and non-students, the percentages reporting a worse quality of life currently were 13.0% and 40.4%, respectively.

An examination of the written comments, however, revealed no obvious trend or cause of the decline. Among non-students, comments ranged from “crime, drugs, late nite partys, housing authority trash/noise” to “Too much nit-picking while real problems go unresolved.” Although far fewer Cal Poly students reported a decline in quality of life over the time that they have lived here, there was a modest trend towards comments that expressed disdain for increasing rules/restrictions and police presence among those who did (16 out of 37 total written comments from Cal Po ly students). 3.4 Cal Poly and Footh ill / N. Chorro area residents As mentioned in Section 3.1, the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro area are two locations in San Luis Obispo with a high mixing of students and non-students. A summary of responses to the Likert scale questions, separated by students and non-students in these areas, is shown in Table 2. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 63 Table 2: Likert scale questions for residents of the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro area residents, separated by Cal Poly students and non-students.

Cal Poly Students 0.06 0.35 0.38 0.13 0.08 Non-students 0.04 0.28 0.41 0.20 0.09 11 Notably, the distribution of responses for Cal Po ly students vs. Non-students differed at a statistically significant level for all of the questions in the table above, except for the question: “I feel as if I should be included in discussions about improving community relation- ships.” That is, every other Likert scale question in the above table points to a dichotomy of attitudes when comparing students vs. non-students who live in the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro areas. One specific contrast of interest is the differing of attitudes about who should be responsible for whether tenants are disruptive to their neighbors o r not. Among non-students, roughly 80- 90% believe (either “Strongly Agree” or “Agree”) that property owners should be responsible for their tenants regarding their disruptiveness to neighbors, whereas only about 30% of students feel similarly. On the other hand, when asked if property owners can be proactive about the same issue, approximately 60% of students responded with either “Strongly Agree” or “Agree,” pointing to at least some degree of openness to communication with their landlords regarding noise issues. Additionally, the trashcan and quiet time issues from Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 are at an increased level in the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro areas. Using the same “potentially upset” definition as in the previous sections, approximately 37.0% of non-students living in these areas fall into this categorization. By comparison, in Section 3.3.1 we saw that approximately 30% of all citizens (that is, all students and non-students) fell into this categorization; in fact, this percentage is the same for non-students across all neighborhoods, indicating an increase in the proportion in this category for the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro areas. Regarding the tim e that it should be quiet on a weekday night, approximately 28.0% of non-students are categorized as potentially upset, and 31.2% are potentially upset for the weekend nights (compared to 17.0% and 18.0% as stated in Section 3.3.2). 3.5 Issues and Suggestions: written comments Question 46 asked: “If you could fix one issue in San Luis Obispo, what would it be?” APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 65 Using a regular expression search, Table 3 shows the most common words found in the responses, separated by students and non-students. non-students Cal Poly students word count word count downtown 110 students 142 homeless 90 college91 traffic 87 residents 53 rental 72 noise52 Poly 58 campus 47 street 42 parking 46 noise 41 housing 46 bars 40 police42 residents 39 permanent 41 cars 35 Poly 39 Table 3: Most common words found in written responses to the question, “If you could fix one issue in San Luis Obispo, what would it be?” All short words such as prepositions, conjunctions, and other low-content words (such as “more”) were removed from the list. Some words that do appear on the list may not be that revealing, such as the usage of “students” or “college” by Cal Poly students in their comments. On the other hand, an examination of the non-student comments containing the word “downtown” showed comments that mainly focused on homelessness (overlapping with #2) and disruptive behavior associated with the bars (overlapping with #8). Question 47 asked: “W hat suggestions do you have to improve the relations between the college-age students and permanent residents?” Again using a regular expression search, Table 4 shows the most common words found in the responses to this question, separated by students and non-students. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 66 non-students Cal Poly students word count word count students 335 students 192 neighbors 103 residents 153 residents 93 college 137 Poly 80 permanent 111 college 80 community 71 campus 75 campus 55 respect 70 neighbors 45 community 60 noise36 landlords 45 people 35 behavior 44 think 35 Table 4: Most common words found in written responses to the question, “W hat suggestions do you have to improve the relationship between the college-age students and permanent residents?” Again, not all words are extremely revealing. Of note, however, is the fact that the words “rule(s),”, “regulation(s),” and “fine(s)” do not appear on either list, suggesting that neither students nor non-students tend to believe that an increase in city ordinances is the answer. In contrast, we see words such as “respect,” “community” and “neighbors,” suggesting that ultimately, students and non-students would like to co-exist in a harmonious manner. A specific response to this question that exemplifies this sentiment is one from a non-student living in the Foothill / N. Chorro area that states: “Have a beer with them - as long as they are of legal drinking age. Otherwise, you might have to buy them a fountain drink.” 4 Discussion and Conclusions In this report, we summarize the results f rom the City of San Luis Obispo Opinion Survey. Certain trends were explored, with a focus on potential sources of conflict between Cal Poly students and non- student residents of San Luis Obispo. It is important to note that, since this analysis was exploratory in nature, all of the findings must be treated as suggestive, rather than as strong evidence in favor or in opposition of any notion. Additionally, there is a slight concern for bias in the dataset, as noted in Section 3.1. The distributions of age and ethnicity in our survey dataset were statistically significantly different from APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 67 that of the Census data. However, the differences were not drastic; although this may indeed be a concern, it is relatively minor. Among all potential sources of conflict in San Luis Obispo, the one with the largest indication is the time that neighbors bring their trashcans in, with approximately 30% of all residents being potentially upset. Noise at night does not appear to be as much of an issue, except specifically in the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro areas, where non-students are potentially upset at a rate of approximately 30% on both weeknights and weekends. The survey also revealed a vast dichotomy of attitudes between non-students and Cal Poly students. This is exposed in the responses to the Likert Scale questions in Table 2, and also with regard to when each group tends to bring their trashcans in. It does not appear likely that this systematic difference in attitude could be corrected by specific fines and ordinances. Rather, any strategy to remedy this must be aimed at addressing this broadly, both among students who plan to live off-campus, and for non-students who live in heavily student-populated areas. Future work could examine the question of whether any implemented strategies are working. In particular, certain increases in fines have indeed been in place since May 2010, aimed specifically at Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day (City of San Luis Obispo, 2013). Fr om a statistical standpoint, the data up to this point do not suggest that the increase in fines have been an effective deterrent of citable offenses. It is of course possible that, with more data, the evidence could arise, and this question could possibly be addressed properly at that time. However, as mentioned above, this report does not support the notion that specific increases in fines will achieve outcomes consistent with neighborhood wellness. As student and non-student attitudes and expectations about residential life in San Luis Obispo are so dichotomous at this time, this must be addressed systematically, rather than by attempting to deter specific behaviors.

These ideas were not discussed by the Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort working group and their inclusion in this report should not be considered an endorsement by the working group. Objective 1: Define short-term actions that could be implemented to enhance quality of life for all residents particularly associated in the timeframe around the opening of the Cal Poly and Cuesta College campuses at the beginning of the school year. 1 Develop smoother lines of communication between the city, Cal Poly and Cuesta both proactively and reactively. 2 Students need to be informed of the consequences of their actions off campus and perhaps have responses strengthened to moderate behavior. 3 Quicker administrative response is needed to violations of behavior off campus by the city, Cal Poly and Cuesta. Objective 2: Define Stakeholders’ Needs and Success 4 Create a tip line where anyone (students, neighbors, etc.) can report potential problems before they have negative impact on the community. Objective 3: Identify University/City Best Practices 5 Advance the effort to house Greek organizations on the Cal Poly campus. 6 Create a student ambassador program that has two components. The first component should be to promote positive relations in the community. The second component should be an anonymous social event attendee to report unsafe behavior to the appropriate authority. 7 Improve response time by SLOPD and UPD to reports of noise off campus. 8 Bring alternative social/entertainment opportunities on campus to reduce the reliance on off campus events for socialization. 9 Reach out to universities who consistently host regulated tailgate parties, with monitored alcohol distribution. Learn what works well for them and bring their best practices to Cal Poly tailgates. 10 Increase the methods to hold landlords accountable for the negative behavior of their tenants including court appearances by the landlord or denial of business license. 11 Suggest that landlords add clause in rental agreements that prevents any activity on roof.

Objective 4: Review Enforcement Best Practices 17 Consider the size and scope of a party to help determine what safety and hazard city ordinances can be created/enforced? Perhaps double or triple fines during peak hours or holidays where large parties/events are expected. 18 Limit the number of student rental properties to one per street. 19 Create and enforce a 10:00 pm noise curfew with escalating noise fines by the hour. 20 More visible UPD presence on campus and in the residential neighborhoods immediately surrounding campus (an MOU is currently being finalized to allow UPD to issue municipal citations off campus). 21 Issue a citation to the leadership figure of the organization responsible for hosting an out- of-control party. Consider exploring ways to hold the national organization responsible as well. 22 Consider installing more security cameras to effectively monitor activity. 23 Create a staff position to investigate potential dangerous student activity before events take place. 24 Enforce limits on the size of parties at residential addresses. 25 Create a culture change regarding informants. Students offer information to a point, but stop divulging information for fear of implicating themselves. Re-work current policy to ensure informants will not be reprimanded to encourage future sharing. 26 Citations should be issued to those students who participated in negative events. 27 City approval should be required for individuals or organizations hosting a party over a Appendix E: Post March 7 Recommendations Page 77 Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Working Group Ideas to Investigate arranged by Objective *NOTE: These ideas were generated by the City of San Luis Obispo (e.g. public comment at March 17, 2015 City Council Meeting) and Cal Poly staff through a number of forums after the March 7, 2015 roof collapse on Hathway Street.

Second chances seem to mean “go ahead” to this crowd. 32 Parental notification should be explored for off campus behavior. 33 Higher fines, double fines, longer fines, fines able to be raised at certain time of day. Objective 5: Engage Stakeholders: Review Current Educational And Information Efforts 34 Require students to complete an alcohol/safety education program before being allowed rush for a Greek organization (we should also consider limiting Greek organization recruitment to the first quarter of attendance). 35 Monitor Yik Yak and other social mediums used by our student population as a resource to inform us of potential dangerous situations. 36 SLOPD should consider utilizing social media scanning software to be more aware of activities planned off campus. 37 The city should inform the landlord every time the police are called to a rental property, even if no violation is found. 38 Enhance education on the dangers of large crowds: students need to learn this is as bad as drinking too much, nonconsensual sex and other immature or inappropriate or illegal behaviors. 39 Evaluate systems & structures in dorms to prevent mass exodus to mega social gathering and complement protocols to inform authorities (student affairs UPD SLOPD) of eminent threat of unruly gathering (mega social gathering). 40 Targeted patrolling by city and university police.

DISCUSSION Situation The City of San Luis Obispo (City) is in close proximity to two colleges; Cuesta College and Cal Poly. Cuesta College is a commuter school without campus housing, and Cal Poly does not have sufficient on-campus housing for all enrolled students (there are plans to create more housing opportunities on-campus in the next five years). Furthermore, college students often prefer to live off-campus in their junior and senior years. These factors mean students seek housing in the City limits, and the most predominant housing type in the City is low-density single-family housing in established neighborhoods. A number of issues have been reported over the years related to students living in low-density residential neighborhoods: 1. Students tend to live in certain areas close to campus, which affects neighborhood diversity. High concentrations of student renters living in neighborhoods compounds and intensifies issues like partying, noise and parking. Renter-occupancy estimates for census tracts immediately adjacent to Cal Poly range from 59 to 95 percent renters: Selected Housing Characteristics from U.S. Census 1 CHARACTERISTIC CENSUS TRACT 109.01 CENSUS TRACT 109.02 CENSUS TRACT 112 TOTAL {ALL 3 TRACTS) CITYWIDE Total Housing Units 1,032 1,561 3,033 5,626 20,553 Single-Family Residences 10% 40% 62% 46% 54% Units Built 1950 to 1979 53% 64% 62% 61% 48% Owner-occupied Units 5% 13% 41% 26% 38% Renter-occupied Units 95% 87% 59% 74% 62% 1 Estimates do not include on-campus housing units, which are classified as "group quarters" by the U.S. Census.

Rental costs are high, which drives more students (smaller incomes) to live together in one single family home. Most single-family homes are not designed for four to five adults, especially in terms of bathroom facilities and parking. 3. The City's code enforcement data shows a correlation between high rental areas and reported violations of municipal codes. Some repeated reported violations include: a. Noise, public drunkenness, vandalism and crime b. Property maintenance issues c. Parking 4. Local housing costs are inflated because four to five students can and will pay more for rental housing than the majority of the local workforce, especially those workers in industries with lower wages. This causes many workers to commute, which affects infrastructure (roads), environment (emissions) and society (less owner- occupancy/pride of ownership). These issues are common in many town-gown communities when large student populations move . in to residential neighborhoods; sometimes referred to as "studentification". Studentification is a term coined by Dr. Darren Smith (2002) and is defined as the social and environmental changes caused by a very large number of students living in particular areas of a APPENDIX F: Maintaining Balanced Neighborhoods Page 83 CITY OF S.Hn LUIS OBISPO town or city. It is not necessarily students living in the community, but instead the substitution of a local community by a student community. 1 The City desires to avoid "studentification" in its low-density residential neighborhoods. The following sections identify ideas for potential solutions -including best management practices from nationwide research- to be considered by the Civility Working Group. Potential Solutions Two main focus areas should be (1) increasing neighborhood diversity and (2) enhancing affordable housing options. 1. Increasing Neighborhood Diversity Diversifying neighborhoods means creating a healthy balance of renters and owner-occupants, as well as a mix of resident types (families, students, couples, singles, etc.). Within the context of student housing, limiting concentration of student rentals increases neighborhood diversity. A. Consider a Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and many other communities facing foreclosure and abandonment issues, instituted an NSP to help troubled neighborhoods rebound. 2 Using a revolving NSP fund, abandoned and foreclosed homes were purchased and then resold at a discounted price to homebuyers in need of assistance. The same philosophy could be implemented in residential neighborhoods to create more opportunities for owner-occupied housing units. Potential NSP elements may include: a. Establish a revolving fund to be used exclusively to purchase single-family homes within targeted neighborhoods (such as Alta Vista and Monterey Heights) as they become available on the open market. b. Resell all homes purchased with the revolving fund within a reasonable time to likely owner-occupants; university staff, faculty or other workforce buyers. c. Evaluate legally permissible mechanisms to perpetuate owner-occupancy, such as a homeowners association (HOA), that are consistent with fair housing provisions of State and Federal laws. Developing a HOA for NSP homes is preferable because the HOA can impose conditions, covenants and agreements that require owner-occupancy of the primary residence for a minimum length of time. d. Proceeds from all home sales would go to replenish the revolving fund. e. Maintain "right of first refusal" granting the NSP the right to re-purchase the home when it is offered for sale. f. The NSP could be established on a limited-term basis, or terminated when owner-occupancy rates for single-family units within targeted neighborhoods reach a certain level that could be seen as self-sustaining. 1 Town and Gown Glossary. http://www.towngownworld.com/towngownglossary.html 2 http: //portal.hud.gov/hudportai/HUD?sr c=/program offices/comm plannlng/communitydevelopment/programs/neighborhoodspg. APPENDIX F: Maintaining Balanced Neighborhoods Page 84 CITY OF S.flnLUIS OBISPO This alternative has complicated legal issues surrounding real property rights, equal protection, and privacy that will require more research if the Civility W orking Group supports further development of a NSP. B. Look for opportunities to create faculty and staff housing in student areas. The College of San Mateo, California, has an award winning 44-unit rental housing development for faculty and staff (College Vista), which offers a first-class living environment with rents at half the market average.3 A local example is the 69-unit Bella Montana workforce housing project located in a neighborhood that is impacted with student rentals immediately adjacent to Cal Poly campus. The ground sublease has a ranking priority hierarchy that encourages purchase by Cal Poly faculty and staff, with a back-up market priority for public education, public agency, other CSU employees, and the general public. In all, there are 24 priority rankings in the sublease with newly recruited Cal Poly faculty receiving the highest priority and the general public receiving the lowest. Bella Montana is different from most condominiums in that the structures are owned by the buyers, while Cal Poly remains the owner of the ground upon which the structure sits and has greater control over the conditions of sale of the condos. C. Evaluate strengthening occupancy restrictions to avoid single-family residential overcrowding. The City of Fort Collins, home to Colorado State University, restricts occupancy in all residential dwelling units (single-family, duplex, and multifamily) to one family and not more than one additional person; or two adults and their dependents, and not more than one additional person, or up to four unrelated persons in a dwelling unit located in an apartment complex containing units which were approved to house four unrelated persons.4 The City of San Luis Obispo's Zoning Regulations prohibit six or more adult occupants in the low-density residential zone without a High Occupancy Use Permit. D. Develop a rental inspection program that checks occupancy. The City of Bloomington, home to Indiana University Bloomington, implemented a Rental Occupancy Program that requires rental property inspection every three to five years to validate current occupancy permits. Occupancy permits allow up to three unrelated adults in single- family zoning districts, and up to five in multi-family zoning districts. 5 The City of Santa Cruz, California adopted a 2010 ordinance that requires all owners of one or more residential rental dwelling units to register with the city and participate in an annual inspection. The Santa Cruz program aims to address unpermitted dwelling units and the renting of spaces not intended for habitation, as well as substandard, overcrowded, unsanitary and unsafe housing conditions that render a housing _unit unfit or unsafe for occupancy.6 The City of San Luis Obispo is currently developing a multifamily rental inspection program to be presented to the public and City Council in late 2014.

APPENDIX F: Maintaining Balanced Neighborhoods Page 85 CITY OF S.fin LUIS OBISPO E. Work with common interest developments on restrictive leases. In California, courts have allowed homeowners associations to limit or ban rentals in private condominium projects or planned developments. Restrictions against leasing in a common interest development must be shown to be reasonable in order to be enforceable per California Civil Code Sections 711 and 1354. In the case City of Oceanside v. McKenna (1989), the Oceanside court found that restrictions on a publicly subsidized condominium project to require owner-occupancy and forbid the leasing of units was valid. The justification offered by the City and its Community Development Commission was found reasonable since prohibiting leasing would foster the redevelopment goals of providing a stabilized community of owner-occupied units for low and moderate income persons.7 F. Create more on-campus housing. Giving students more opportunities to live on-campus may reduce concentration of students living in nearby low-density residential neighborhoods. Cal Poly and the City have adopted policies that support student housing on-campus, and Cal Poly is planning to build a new 1475-bed campus housing facility soon. Other universities require all freshmen to live on-campus, and some also require that freshmen leave their cars at home the first year. In addition to providing new campus housing, Cal Poly could formally adopt a goal to house a certain percentage of students on campus b y a specified date. 2. Enhancing Affordable Housing Options Creating affordable housing is a local, regional and national objective. Within the context of student housing, creating affordable options means offering more housing types with different cost profiles so that students may avoid overcrowding in single-family residences. A. Create partnerships to achieve common affordable housing goals. Northeastern University, Massachusetts, provides a good example of this approach in its Davenport Commons. The project consists of 125 units of housing for students and staff, 60 affordable owner-occupied townhouses, and 2,100 square feet of retail space. 8 It was a complex project, involving many stakeholders and negotiations including a community benefits package of affordable housing, helping homeowners start a condominium association and providing both technical assistance and education for first-time homebuyers. B. Continue to distribute Good Neighbor guides and update off-campus housing outreach materials. The University of Virginia 9 and the City of Fort Collins10 have developed guides that include tips for finding affordable off-campus housing, advice about the financial responsibilities of living on their own, and behavior expected of a good neighbor and community member. Cal Poly, Cuesta College and the City should update their off-campus housing guides to include affordable housing options in the region.

In May 2013, Council approved the formation of the Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Working Group consisting of Cal Poly leadership, Cuesta College leadership, SLO City staff, residents and students representing both institutions. As detailed in the Council Agenda Report presented by City staff on May 19, 2015, six (6) objectives were identified and researched by the group and recommendations were provided that supported the vision and goals of the working group. Over the next several years, the recommendations continued to be vetted and many were implemented. The recommendations not implemented were thoroughly vetted and determined to not be acted on for various reasons. The following will detail each objective, recommendation and outcome. Objective One: Define short-term actions to enhance the quality of life Goal: To define short-term actions that could be implemented to enhance the quality of life for all residents, particularly associated in the timeframe around the start of Cal Poly’s fall term. • Schedule regular neighborhood tours – Implement. CP began neighborhood walks with residents and City staff and received feedback on problem locations. Noise challenges and blight were handled by Code Enforcement. • Investigate establishing SNAP ride along program and promote current police ride- along program. – SNAP ride alongs not implemented as it was determined that part- time civilian employees do not have the same training as sworn officers. Police ride- alongs are still available with sworn staff. • Explore the options of creating a noise ordinance in public spaces – Not Implemented. Per the City Attorney, this type of ordinance would violate the Constitution. • Consider expanding tools to enforce ordinances for nuisance properties, tagging properties. – Not implemented for noise. Per the City Attorney, noise citations are the method of addressing immediate noise issues. Property maintenance nuisance properties are addressed by Code Enforcement. • Evaluate policies so that new development or redevelopment does not unduly impact neighborhoods. – Not implemented in the way the report intended, however, development/redevelopment policy is both State and City driven and each development project is assessed at each stage to comply with existing law. Objective Two: Define Stakeholders’ needs and success • Evaluate best practices and implement strategies to reduce the number of disruptions – Implemented. Outreach and education were revamped, party registration was implemented in 2017, “sober hours” visits implemented to repeat offending houses, landlord outreach during tenant turnover. • Explore and implement strategies to address the concentration of bars in the downtown using LUCE. – Implemented. Research was conducted by the Community Development Dept. and SLMC 17.86.040 was amended in 2018 to improve enforcement of problematic alcohol outlets. Alcohol Beverage Control continues to be a strong community partner in managing the establishment violations. At this point in 2024, there are less nightlife alcohol outlets and the challenges of ten years ago have softened. • Implement educational programs to increase the number of student-aged residents who bring in their trashcans after pick-up. – Implemented. Code Enforcement launched a campaign in 2015 and proactively enforced. Proactive enforcement transitioned to complaint-based enforcement during the pandemic. • Continue to implement strategies to address homelessness in SLO – Implemented/on-going. Visit https://www.slocity.org/living/neighborhood/homelessness for an overview. • Implement strategies to reduce traffic issues in neighborhoods. – Implemented/on- going. Visit https://www.slocity.org/government/department-directory/public- works/programs-and-services/transportation-planning-and-engineering for details on current neighborhood traffic and transportation planning and projects. Objective Three: Identify university/city best practices • Create and implement a transition to Off-Campus Living Education Program, to be shared with Cuesta College’s Student Life Office – Education program implemented, stayed with CP. The program has had several iterations, it is currently managed by the Dean of Students Office. https://deanofstudents.calpoly.edu/offcampushousing • Work with the city to generate a neighborhood map of housing rental properties and provide outreach to student renters by funding welcome bags for neighbors to distribute to establish positive interactions – Not implemented, resource prohibitive. • Create a Renter/Rental Housing Inspection Program. – Implemented in 2016, then rescinded 18 months later. • Develop outreach and marketing efforts toward students (Cal Poly) – Implemented with Educated Renter and ASI created and distributed refrigerator magnets in 2017 with municipal code information. • Implement a Party Registration Program. – Implemented and ongoing. • Initiate Dialog Dinners or Block Parties for students and residents to talk about what they like most about their neighborhoods – One gathering was planned and implemented by ASI, attendance was poor. • Promote the principles of the “The Mustang Way” in neighborhoods – Implemented in 2015 by ASI. Unknown if the principles are still promoted by Cal Poly. • Continue to engage and communicate collaboratively among students, non-students and city groups – Ongoing with SCLC. • Utilize various on-campus departments and offices that support living off-campus to support students, non-students and permanent residents living in neighborhoods. – Implemented via Student Affairs to include Educated Renter, FSL, OSRR. • Develop proactive engagement of law and code enforcement with visits to properties of concern; “Knock and Talk”. – Implemented and ongoing. • Implement a Joint Letter Program. – Not implemented. Contact with landlords related to enforcement continues to come solely from SLOPD. Off-campus criminal behavior addressed by OSRR, but SLMC violations are not. Objective Four: Review enforcement best practices • City and Cal Poly officials to craft a Memorandum of Understanding agreement between the city and university regarding police operational protocol within a one- mile radius – Implemented and ongoing. • Partner Cal Poly and Cuesta police officers with San Luis Obispo Neighborhood Officers to coordinate resources and achieve program goals – Implemented pre- pandemic with CPPD specific to busy party weekends and mutual still occurs but not specific to SLOPD Neighborhood Officers. • City should explore additional proactive educational opportunities with Cal Poly and Cuesta College to change the student culture related to neighborhood wellness – Assigned to SCLC. • Implement a keg registration program – Not implemented. SLOPD researched and recommended to council to not move forward. • Conduct an internal assessment of the San Luis Obispo Police Department staffing to prepare for growth within the city and on the Cal Poly campus to ensure staffing needs match the population – not implemented at that time, but good news, the staffing study is currently happening (Summer/Fall 2024.) • Conduct an internal assessment of the University Police Department staffing to meet the growth on the Cal Poly campus – Implemented. • Explore the possibility of Cal Poly Police being able to issue City Municipal Administrative Citations – Implemented, MOU completed in 2015 and CPPD has SLMC powers up to one mile off campus. • Location of a university police substation within the new residence hall project to coordinate law enforcement problem-solving efforts – Not implemented. Objective Five: Engage stakeholders, review current educational & information efforts • Create an annual communications plan containing neighborhood wellness messages and a process for communicating the information effectively to maximize resources – Implemented and ongoing. Objective Six: Prepare for sustained engagement to achieve desired vision & goal • Re-invest in the Student-Community Liaison Committee – Implemented, on-going. • The Student-Community Liaison Committee should assess the effectiveness of each recommendation once they have been implemented – Not implemented by SCLC, but each recommendation implemented by the owning agency manages the assessments. • Shift SCLC memberships – Not implemented in years immediately following release of the report, however the resident positions were recruited for, and seats filled. In academic year 23/24, the SCLC bylaws were reviewed, and revisions made to define voting member seats. • Host an annual town hall meeting – Not implemented. As SCLC is chaired by students, once the ASI turnover occurs, the interest in continuing with past chair agendas is quite challenging to carry forward. 1 From:Courtney Leigh Kienow <ckienow@calpoly.edu> Sent:Thursday, July 24, 2025 3:27 PM To:Scott, Rick Subject:Re: Cal Poly Police Department - Swearing In Ceremony (7/25/25 @ 9:00AM) Ha ha.

Haft <jhaft@calpoly.edu> 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. 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. 2 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 Enforcement, and SLOPD as recently as this week. Several outcomes have come from these meetings including: a. 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. b. Preparation of students who are seeking new CUPs or responding to reviews of their CUPs by both the Planning Commission and City Council. c. 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. d. 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. e. 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). 3 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 Courtney Kienow pronouns she/hers (why is this important?)

As a part of this program, volunteers work with students moving out of their dorms to collect unwanted items that would have otherwise been thrown away. Gently used houseware items like pots and pans, fans, lights, books, clothing, and organizational supplies are collected, sorted, cleaned, and stored in large Pods, which are stored over the summer quarter. Then, upon move-in the fall, staff and volunteers place these items throughout campus living areas for students to take — free of charge. Through this program, students are able to save significant amounts of money and time, all while keeping resources out of our landfill. Last year, the program was responsible for saving 4,340 pounds of usable items from entering our landfill. Are you inspired to help with this effort? We are still looking for volunteers to help collect items for donation. Sign up here. 3 If you’re not able to volunteer, you can still help by thinking twice before throwing your items away upon move-out. Opt for donation or reuse when you can. If you live on campus, you can donate your items by finding the large donation bins in common dorm areas. Donate your Dining Dollars Are you a student who's unsure about what to do with your leftover meal plan money? Consider donating it through Mustang Meal Share.

Campus Surplus – Get Classroom and Office Equipment for Free If you're wanting to refresh your classroom or office this summer, you're in luck. Cal Poly Surplus has launched a new website for faculty and staff to take items at no cost to you. Before you buy new office equipment like a desk, shelving, or tech equipment, check the website to see whether Campus Surplus might have what you are looking for. If you need something specific that’s not listed, you can put in a request and the Cal Poly Surplus team will reply when it’s in stock. Cal Poly Surplus 6 works to reuse and recycle thousands of items each year for free campus use, keeping tons of materials out of landfills. Items no longer wanted by departments are listed on Public Surplus, which is available to students, community members and faculty/staff who wish to use purchased items for personal use.

Watch Your Waste 跹跺跻跼跽跿跾踀 As students and faculty get ready for the sweet taste of summer freedom, the Facilities team prepares for the influx of waste that happens at the end of every school year. Custodial crews work around the clock to manage discarded materials from labs, classrooms and offices. While many of us don’t think about what happens to waste after we put it into a bin, custodial staff work tirelessly to get discarded materials to the right place. Here’s a few things you can do to help: 7 1. Be mindful of the weight of your trash, recycling, and organic waste bins. When these bins get too heavy or full with waste, custodians can hurt themselves. In fact, the No.1 injury among custodial staff comes from repetitively lifting heavy items. So, think twice before throwing those books, art projects, or stacks of papers into the bin. 2. Break down your boxes. Help custodians do their job more efficiently by breaking down your cardboard boxes before putting them in the recycling bin. When boxes are not broken down, the recycling dumpsters can fill up quickly, which leaves less room for other recyclables. 3. Keep hazardous items out of the trash. Broken glass and hazardous chemicals are frequently thrown into the trash bins, and this is exacerbated at the end of the school year. To keep custodians safe, make sure you aren’t throwing away anything that could potentially cause harm if touched by custodial staff. Instead, put these items in the designated containers in your classrooms. 4. Save what you can. Not everything needs to be thrown away. If you still have usable materials, keep them out of the landfills by storing them in a safe space.

CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS 9 Breaking Ground on Recycled Water Cal Poly has officially started construction on the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) project! The initial work near the swine unit mainly includes grading, which prepares the site for the full buildout of the facility scheduled to be online in the summer of 2026. Once operational, the WRF will process up to 75% of campus wastewater that is currently sent to the city’s wastewater treatment plant. This will produce high- quality recycled water for use on the sports complex and agricultural areas of campus—an important step toward sustainability, climate resilience and resource stewardship at Cal Poly. 10 We Want YOU to Join the Board!

President Armstrong asked me to let you know we are proud of our partnership and grateful for the city’s contributions to the article. Could a CSU’s dorm solution help fix California’s housing crisis? San Francisco Chronicle And here is the text in case you don’t have a subscription to SF Chronicle: Could a CSU’s dorm solution help fix California’s housing crisis? SAN LUIS OBISPO — One of the most ambitious and audacious attempts to solve the state housing shortage is taking shape on a steep grassy hillside overlooking the sprawling 3,000-acre campus of California Polytechnic State University. There, on a former tiered parking lot, between eucalyptus trees and 1960s era “red brick dorms,” a few dozen yellow-vested workers are digging out rocky soil, setting rebar and pouring concrete 2 footings in preparation for what is to be the largest modular housing project in the history of the United States. The $1.2 billion development will add 4,200 student housing units over the next five years, increasing the number of students that can be housed on campus to about 12,200. The steel-framed “mods” will be assembled in a factory operated by the FullStack Modular company in Carson (Los Angeles County) and trucked the 200 miles to San Luis Obispo, or SLO, where they will be stacked in nine buildings ranging from seven to 12 stories in height. The factory is just getting up and running: Components of the prefabricated steel “chassis” come flat packed to the FullStack facility where everything from kitchens and bathrooms to plumbing and electrical are assembled before drywall The first building, about 500 units, has to be ready for students arriving in the fall of 2026. “September 15 is the day we start stacking,” said FullStack Chief Executive Office Roger Krulak. The need for the additional housing is being driven by the increased popularity not just of Cal Poly but San Luis Obispo itself, a laid back Central Coast town with a bustling historic downtown that saw an influx of transplants from both the Bay Area and Los Angeles during the pandemic. Often, those newcomers can afford to pay more for housing than local workers. This year the university, with an enrollment of 22,000, received 82,000 applications for 6,400 spots, a 3.6% increase over 2024, and a 22.7% increase over the 69,429 students who applied in 2022. Mike McCormick, vice president of facilities and development for the university, said California State University trustees are pushing for the school to grow to 25,000 by 2030. He said Cal Poly is “producing the kinds of degrees we need in California.” More than 60 Cal Poly alum work at SpaceX, including Victor Glover, who piloted the first “crew dragon” flight to the international space station. Some 8.3% of graduates land jobs But success has come with growing pains, both for students and city residents. The cost of housing has now exceeded tuition as the steepest expense students face, McCormick said. The situation is 3 exacerbated by the fact that unlike many college towns, SLO is a desirable destination independent of the school. In the summer, when most of the students are gone, the city still buzzes with energy. There is the five-block farmer’s market downtown on Thursday nights, wine tasting rooms and fine dining, proximity to hiking trails and beaches. T he city has about 49,000 residents, which doesn’t include Cal Poly students. Cal Poly houses about 8,000 students, meaning that the majority of students, some 14,000, live off campus in the city, where the vacancy rate for rental housing hovers around 1%. All of the fraternity and sorority houses are off campus, within city limits. “When we talk about growing, adding 3,000 to 5,000 students, we can’t expect the community to house them,” McCormick said. “The community can’t absorb that kind of demand. We have to house them on campus.” The average single-family home in SLO now costs about $1.1 million, up about 50% from $546,000 in 2015, according to Zillow. The average two-bedroom apartment — 62% of SLO’s housing stock is rental — goes for about $3,000 a month. The rising cost of housing, and the crowded conditions many students live in, is creating conflict in the city, according to City Manager Whitney McDonald. Fierce competition for scarce accommodations allows landlords to get top dollar for substandard units, which sometimes have issues like mold and termite damage. Illegal spaces like garages and basements are often leased out. “It’s unhealthy to have such a low vacancy rate,” McDonald said. “Tenants stuck in a bad situation feel they can’t move, and may be reluctant to complain about unsafe or substandard conditions because there are so few options.” While the trustees approved $1 billion in financing for the housing, the phases will be paid for with bonds over the five-year construction period. That is where modular comes in. FullStack estimates that its modular system is about 25% cheaper and 30% faster than conventional construction. While the first building will likely come in at more than $250,000 per unit, the hope is to get costs down to closer to $200,000 per unit in the future. 4 The question of how President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs will impact the project remains to be seen, although FullStack has already bought the materials The “value proposition” of modular construction — and manufacturing generally — is repetition and consistency, according to Krulak. The same team doing the same thing together over and over. The first time you build anything in a factory there are likely to be inefficiencies. The second building will be less expensive. The third building will be less expensive than that, he said. “They don’t make 40 different iPhones and hope they come out cost effective,” Krulak said. The project is also set up in a way that all parties involved — Cap Poly, FullStack, general contractor Whiting-Turner, architect Stienberg-Hart and all the subcontractors — are incentivized to make the project as cost-effective as possible because they all share in profits if money is saved. “It’s a situation where we can say, ‘Here’s our goal, here’s the tools we have, and here’s the bucket of gold at the end. How do we achieve that?” Krulak said. Besides speeding up construction and reducing costs, the decision to have the project built in a Southern California factory is being driven by the fact that the Central Coast doesn’t have enough construction workers to staff the job. “The problem we have in this little town is that we don’t have much of a workforce, and we can’t import people because there is no place to house them,” McCormick said. “We would be exacerbating the same problem we’re trying to solve.” While 4,200 units will go a long way toward alleviating the pressure on student housing, the city is also scrambling to build more. The city’s state-mandated “housing element” calls for 3,155 units to be entitled between 2020 and 2028. SLO Community Development Director Timmi Tway said the city is already close to meeting that overall goal, although it is far behind in producing the below market rate units required. Modular development has been a mixed bag in the Bay Area, with several big companies going bankrupt and others struggling. Silicon Valley start-up Katerra, which was valued at more than $4 billion at its peak, went bankrupt. Vallejo-based Factory O/S is still cranking out wooden 5 multifamily buildings on Mare Island, but most of its assets were acquired by a private equity consortium last year. If FullStack can pull off the Cal Poly project it could bode well for other parts of Northern California facing housing shortages. FullStack CEO Krulak has been looking at potential factory sites in San Francisco and the Bay Area along with San Francisco Building Trades Council Secretary-Treasurer Rudy Gonzalez. Krulak said he is scheduled to meet with San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie in the coming weeks. At the very least, McCormick said he hopes the Cal Poly project will be a model for other state universities. “We’ve learned a lot from this project,” McCormick said. “We’re creating a model that other universities can look to as they tackle the growing need for affordable housing.” Reach J.K.

Recognized Student Organization Outcome Letter April 14, 2025 To: changing name for privacy, President, Delta Chi Sent Electronically To: changing name for privacy Dear Mr. changing name for privacy, Per the investigatory meeting on March 20, 2025, and based on the evidence gathered to date, Student Rights & Responsibilities has reached a decision about the outcome of the case. This meeting concerned an incident report detailing an event that took place on March 15, 2025 involving potential violations of the Recognized Student Organization Code of Conduct (RSOCC). The investigation yielded that: 2 On Saturday, March 15, 2025 at approximately 4AM, residents of 1236 Monte Vista Place were cited by the San Luis Obispo Police Department (SLOPD) for noise, initially reported as a “large party.” Additionally, videos posted to social media (TikTok) appear to show a large gathering at the property with a banner seen in the background with the fraternity, Delta Chi’s, letters are clearly visible, including a banner that reads "Get Lucky" behind a large crowd. A separate video shows two women, each holding a "BORG," in front of the fraternity's letters. During the initial Intake meeting with the chapter, the President and Risk Manager presented information that demonstrated this was not a sanctioned event by the fraternity and further, their property was overrun by unaffiliated individuals as a result of the St. Patrick’s weekend. Historically, thousands of people travel into San Luis Obispo for what has been termed “St. Fratty’s Day,” despite the university’s attempts to deter people from this unsanctioned “event.” Specifically on March 15, 2025, the President of Delta Chi shared that the residents of 1236 Monte Vista Place, as tenants of the property, chose to hold a private celebration in their courtyard for themselves and their partners prior to attending the on-campus event, Morning on the Green. One resident’s partner who was visiting from out of town designed the flyer that was ultimately seen in a TikTok video. The chapter initially opposed the request to display the banner, but ultimately decided to allow it for the weekend. The residents of the property did have music playing, which attracted crowds who were walking along California Blvd on their way to the on-campus concert (Morning on the Green). Due to the fraternity’s proactive risk-management, they had locked all access points to their property prior to this morning, including removing any alcohol from their "bar” area, as they had no event planned. As a result, crowds resorted to scaling the property’s fence(s) and made unauthorized entry into the facility. Chapter leadership, including the President, attempted to remove these unwanted individuals, but were quickly outnumbered. When Delta Chi members requested assistance from law enforcement officials stationed along California Blvd, they were advised to open all their access points in the hopes that the crowds would organically filter out. Following the direction of law enforcement, Delta Chi proceeded to open their gates, however this attracted more unwanted attention and grew the size of the crowd. Following the initial Intake meeting, the President and Risk Manager of Delta Chi shared security camera video from March 15, 2025 with the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities (OSRR) that corroborates their narrative. In the video, large groups of individuals are seen walking from California Blvd, crossing through an adjacent parking lot, and climbing Delta Chi’s fence to enter the property. Further, these individuals are seen entering the fraternity’s “bar” and leaving empty handed, as there was no alcohol present. Security camera footage and audio recording indicate that residents of 1236 Monte Vista Place contacted these individuals, yelling at them in attempts to stop their entry to the property. Photos provided to OSRR of later on March 15, 2025 show the damage these individuals did to the property (fence), putting the safety and well- being of the residents at risk. Specifically, two areas along the fence line are structurally damaged (bent), likely due to the crowds using them to climb and enter the property. The damaged areas are the same areas that were observed on the provided security footage from March 15, 2025. Further, had the fraternity held an event, attendees would not resort to climbing over a fence to enter. Rather, they would utilize a common entry point through the Monte Vista Place cul-de-sac. Additionally, in the audio from the security footage, one individual that jumped over the fence can be heard stating, “SLO is so different from SMU though.” This statement further supports the narrative that these were unwanted individuals and unaffiliated with Delta Chi or Cal Poly. 3 Based upon the information presented, Delta Chi has been found NOT RESPONSIBLE for the following subsections of the Recognized Student Organization Code of Conduct (RSOCC): 4. Noise: a - Violation of municipal noise ordinances. 7. Health & Safety - Conduct that threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person within or related to the University community, including physical abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, sexual misconduct, throwing bottles or objects that could result in personal injury, or where three or more members of a student organization engage in group violence or taunt others to engage in violence. 22.

This includes replacing North Mountain halls, building on the adjacent parking lots, and adding roughly 4000 new beds— with the first building expected to open its doors for fall 2026. This plan also includes summer renovations in the Red Bricks, modernizing these high-demand residence halls. For details: http://www.housing.calpoly.edu/future-housing 3 諫諤諥諦諬諭諧諨諩諪 Faculty and Staff Housing at Grand & Slack Construction is well under way on Vista Meadows, the 33 for-sale homes for faculty and staff at the corner of Grand Avenue and Slack Street. Crews are wrapping up rough grading as we move out of the rainy season. On Grand Avenue (campus side), they are completing curb, gutter and sidewalk work, and will begin asphalt and striping repairs next. On Slack Street, crews are installing dry utilities (PG&E, AT&T, Spectrum) and upgrading water and sewer lines between Graves and Henderson. They are also beginning construction on retaining walls for homes along Slack Street. The project is on track to be complete in fall 2026. This is the second major project in our workforce housing program, following the success of Bella Montana’s 70 homes. We are currently exploring additional development sites to eventually offer 400–600 workforce housing units, including rental options on or near campus. These investments are directly responding to long-standing recruitment and retention challenges — and offering real relief in a tight local housing market.

Compared to last year, same weekend, exponentially quieter with less arrests and less citations. There were over 100 open container citations last year on St. Frattys. A normal regular weekend would be like 5 citations and maybe 6 or 7 DACs. The open container and public peeing are mostly found downtown, as are drunk in public arrests. It’s just not apples to apples to try to compare. CW On Mar 25, 2025, at 7:21 PM, Courtney Leigh Kienow <ckienow@calpoly.edu> wrote: This message is from an External Source.

Cal Poly and the surrounding area will have an increased presence of law enforcement and university personnel on St. Patrick’s Day.

Our community has become a destination for many students around the state to participate in a dangerous and unsanctioned neighborhood street party the Saturday prior to St. Pat’s. We are working closely with Cal Poly University to educate students to provide them with the community and public safety expectations for the weekend. Attached to this email is an infographic that we have heavily circulated throughout our community, on the Cal Poly University campus and throughout the state via social media. We are compelled to also share it with some of our neighboring institutions should you wish to share it with your student body.

Ashleigh will then go through and read the questions for response by the panelists. Questions I would anticipate for you:  Road and parking closures in the city  How students will be handled who are walking the streets (they’ll push this one, as you know, with the underlying, true question being – if they’ve already been drinking and are walking to the event – how will SLO PD handle?)  For the residents of Hathway – what advice do you have if they want to attend the alternative event and leave their houses empty?

Our ask is to provide the information/infographic to the SA folks of those institutions with the message that the street party will not be allowed and along with allied agencies, law enforcement will be at maximum deployment.

This event will feature amplified music as part of a coordinated effort to provide students with a safe celebration space and reduce disruptive St. Patrick’s Day gatherings in nearby neighborhoods. We anticipate that the noise may be heard in some San Luis Obispo neighborhoods, depending on the wind, cloud cover and other factors. While we recognize that this event will be held in the early hours and generate some noise, the program is designed to minimize impacts on surrounding areas by keeping students on campus and out of residential streets. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure a safe and respectful St. Patrick's Day weekend for our community. 2 If you have any questions about Cal Poly’s planning efforts around this holiday, in coordination with the City of SLO, please see the Dean of Student’s web page.

We know a good amount of Cuesta students joined the events in years past. Anything you and your team can do to help discourage students from participating in the historic activities surrounding this holiday would be greatly appreciated. We have full court press on this one and know this is going to take all of us partnering with a unified message to make a dent and someday, hopefully, end all destructive and dangerous activity. 2 I’ve included below the message our Dean of Students sent directly to our student body. This is part of a series of social media, direct media, earned media and purchased ads we’re messaging out on this. Dear Students, I’m writing to give you a heads up on the university’s plans for St. Patrick’s Day and to remind you of our community expectations and the importance of making safe, responsible choices. You are responsible for knowing what is expected of you, regardless of whether you read this email, or any other correspondence sent your way. While many of you may celebrate, please understand that disruptive or unsafe behavior can result in serious consequences, including arrest and university conduct action. Simply put — don’t test your luck. It’s not worth the fine or the headache. TLDR: Visit the Dean of Students website for all you need to know about St. Patrick’s Day. Visit the Dean of Students Website No Guests in University Housing To support a safe and respectful living environment, no guests will be allowed in Cal Poly residence halls from 8 p.m. Thursday, March 13, to 8 a.m. Tuesday, March 18. This applies to all outside visitors and students from other on-campus housing communities. Be prepared to show your student ID for entry. No overnight guest parking permits will be available, and access to campus, including residence halls, will be restricted. City Safety Enhancement Zone If you live off campus, be aware that the city of San Luis Obispo will enforce a Safety Enhancement Zone from March 7-10 and again from March 14-18, doubling fines for violations such as noise disturbances, unruly gatherings and public intoxication. Fines start at $700, with unruly gathering citations beginning at $1,000. Additionally, University Housing damage charges will be doubled. San Luis Obispo police will report all student arrests and citations to Cal Poly for student conduct review. Road Closures and Parking Restrictions From 10 p.m. Friday, March 14, through 6 a.m. Sunday, March 16, the following roads will be closed: Grand Avenue at Pacheco Way. Village Drive at Perimeter Road. Village Drive at Via Carta. No overnight parking will be allowed (campus residents can still park in their designated lot). No visitor parking permits will be sold from 10 p.m. Thursday, March 13, through 7 a.m. Monday, March 3 17. If you or your guests plan to park on or near campus, make sure to review these restrictions in advance. There will be designated parking for the music festival. Student Conduct Accountability We want to be clear — these policies are in place for your safety and the well-being of our community. There will be increased security on campus and a heightened police presence in neighboring off-campus areas. If you choose to disregard the law and university policies and are referred to OSRR for a conduct violation, common excuses will not exempt you from responsibility: “My friends booked travel months ago.” You had ample notice to reschedule. “They weren’t visiting for St. Patrick’s Day.” The no-guest policy applies regardless. “Everyone else was doing it.” Not everyone participates, and harmful traditions end now — consider joining the special event aimed at creating new traditions. Violating the code of conduct, such as possession of alcohol or drugs, public intoxication, or causing damage to university property, could result in sanctions. These include restitution, disciplinary probation, suspension or more. Music Festival on Campus Consider attending Morning on the Green — A Mustang Music Festival, hosted by the university, from 4-9 a.m. Saturday, March 15 at the Sports Complex Lower Fields. It will be open to anyone 18 and older, but a Cal Poly student will need to claim tickets. More information will be posted online as it’s available. Making Safe Choices We recognize that celebrations look different for everyone. If you choose to participate in St. Patrick’s Day festivities, make safety your priority: Respect Your Community: Keep gatherings small, manage noise and clean up. Be an Upstander: Step in or call for help if a situation doesn’t seem right. Use Campus Safety Resources: Rave Guardian App connects you with Cal Poly Police and Mustang Patrol. Mustang Patrol offers safety walks (Thursdays from 7-11 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 8 p.m.-2 a.m.). Call 805-756-2281. Mustang Shuttle runs daily with evening service 7 p.m.-12:30 a.m. A Safe Observation Space (SOS) sobering center will be open on campus March 15. Visit the Dean of Students website for details. Additional Safety Tips Whether you’re celebrating or not, looking out for yourself and your fellow Mustangs is always important. Keep these key tips in mind: Plan ahead for safe transportation. Stay with friends and never leave a drink unattended. Stay hydrated, eat, and pace yourself. 4 Finally, many of your peers will spend this weekend preparing for finals or celebrating in low-key ways. I encourage you to share this message with a parent or supporter so they can help you make informed decisions. Additional information can be found on the Dean of Students website. Stay safe, look out for one another, and make choices you’ll be proud of. Wishing you a safe and healthy St. Patrick’s Day.

Recent years have seen St. Patrick’s Day-related celebrations on campus and in nearby neighborhoods — with large crowds gathering and some 6 individuals taking part in behavior that was destructive to private or university property and potentially unsafe for themselves and their peers. This year, Cal Poly and the city are working closely together to implement programmatic and policy changes to address these concerns, and the university is planning alternative programming for students with safety in mind. The university’s Emergency Operations Center is activated through St. Patrick’s Day and is managing the university’s response. A full listing of Cal Poly’s policy and programming changes related to the St. Patrick’s Day weekend is available online on our Dean of Students’ website, along with additional information about the how the city will be addressing partiers off campus. Please see: https://deanofstudents.calpoly.edu/dont- test-your-luck. A significant element is Morning On the Green — A Mustang Music Festival, a planned concert and celebration Saturday, March 15, at the lower sports complex. Set to run 4 to 9 a.m., this event is intended to give students a safe place to celebrate on campus and outside of the nearby neighborhoods, where large, early morning gatherings have caused considerable problems for residents in recent years. Students can enjoy music, food and fun, all at a lower risk of harming themselves or violating campus and city laws. Free tickets are available to Cal Poly students, who may bring up to two guests apiece (who do not need to be students). More details on this and other associated events will be included as available on the Dean of Students page linked above. We understand this event may conflict with other programs or events planned on campus that day. If you or anyone in your office has an event planned that may be impacted, please let the EOC know immediately at dem@calpoly.edu so that we can work with you on mitigation. As also detailed on the Dean of Students’ page, the university is implementing several changes for the St. Patrick’s Day weekend aimed at tamping down on vandalism and damage seen in University Housing and other areas on and off campus in past years. These include:  A no-guest policy in all University Housing facilities March 13-18. Student residents' ID's will be checked at all Housing entrances, and all non-residents (even those from other halls or complexes on campus) will be required to leave.  No sale of overnight guest parking permits during that time.  Doubling of charges for all damage incurred in Housing facilities. There will be additional police officers on duty assisting CPPD throughout the weekend — both at the March 15 concert and throughout campus. Violations of the law and university policy will not be tolerated. 7 Meanwhile, San Luis Obispo Police also are planning maximum law enforcement presence during the weekend, with additional officers augmenting the city’s police force. In addition, the city is implementing its double-fine Safety Enhancement Zone throughout early March. And all crimes and violations by Cal Poly students off campus will be reported to the university’s Student Rights and Responsibilities for investigation and possible sanctions. Students are receiving similar information in a note from Interim Dean of Students David Groom. And you will see further communications about St. Patrick’s Day and the university’s alternative event in your email, on social media and throughout campus over the coming days and weeks. Additional details and links to more information about these and other changes are available on the Dean of Students’ page, which will be updated as additional information becomes available between now and St. Patrick’s Day. Please share this message with anyone in your area who may need to know about this information. And please reach out to the EOC with any questions at dem@calpoly.edu. Anthony J.

These include: 1. A no-guest policy in all University Housing facilities March 13-18. Student residents' ID's will be checked at all Housing entrances, and all non-residents (even those from other halls or complexes on campus) will be required to leave. 2. No sale of overnight guest parking permits during that time. 3. Doubling of charges for all damage incurred in Housing facilities. There will be additional police officers on duty assisting CPPD throughout the weekend — both at the March 15 concert and throughout campus. Violations of the law and university policy will not be tolerated. Meanwhile, San Luis Obispo Police also are planning maximum law enforcement presence during the weekend, with additional officers augmenting the city’s police force. In addition, the city is implementing its double-fine Safety Enhancement Zone throughout early March. And all crimes and violations by Cal Poly students off campus will be reported to the university’s Student Rights and Responsibilities for investigation and possible sanctions. 4 Students are receiving similar information in a note from Interim Dean of Students David Groom.

Recent years have seen St. Patrick’s Day-related celebrations on campus and in nearby neighborhoods — with large crowds gathering and some individuals taking part in behavior that was destructive to private or university property and potentially unsafe for themselves and their peers. This year, Cal Poly and the city are working closely together to implement programmatic and policy changes to address these concerns, and the university is planning alternative programming for students with safety in mind. The university’s Emergency Operations Center is activated through St. Patrick’s Day and is managing the university’s response. A full listing of Cal Poly’s policy and programming changes related to the St. Patrick’s Day weekend is available online on our Dean of Students’ website, along with additional information about the how the city will be addressing partiers off campus. Please see: https://deanofstudents.calpoly.edu/dont- test-your-luck. A significant element is Morning On the Green — A Mustang Music Festival, a planned concert and celebration Saturday, March 15, at the lower sports complex. Set to run 4 to 9 a.m., this event is intended to give students a safe place to celebrate on campus and outside of the nearby neighborhoods, where large, early morning gatherings have caused considerable problems for residents in recent years. Students can enjoy music, food and fun, all at a lower risk of harming themselves or violating campus and city laws. Free tickets are available to Cal Poly students, who may bring up to two guests apiece (who do not need to be students). More details on this and other associated events will be included as available on the Dean of Students page linked above.

Bcc: SLO City Council Mayor Stewart, SLO City Councilmembers, and SLO City leaders, I am writing to share with you the below note President Armstrong shared with the campus community this morning. In it, you will see that the proposed state budget includes a 7.95% ongoing reduction to CSU funding, which, if not reversed, will negatively impact student services, academics, and operations across the system. At Cal Poly, this reduction compounds existing budget challenges, prompting efficiency measures and strategic planning to minimize disruptions while maintaining the university’s commitment to growth and student success. Please reach out anytime if you have questions. Thank you. Courtney Kienow pronouns she/hers (why is this important?) Director of Community Relations and Economic Development Office of the President Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA _____ office 805-756-6000 direct 805-756-6098 www.calpoly.edu From: state-cp-staff-request@calpoly.edu <state-cp-staff-request@calpoly.edu> on behalf of PresidentsOffice@calpoly.edu <PresidentsOffice@calpoly.edu> Date: Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 9:01 AM To: Subject: Budget Update 2 To help protect your privacy, Microsoft Office prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. The Cal Poly logo and shield Office of the President Dear Campus Community: I would like to provide you with an important budget update. State In January, Gov. Newsom presented his preliminary state budget proposal, which includes a 7.95% ongoing reduction to the California State University (CSU) and a deferral of compact funding. Despite these cuts, the administration expects the CSU to continue to make progress on compact goals, including a 1% enrollment increase. The proposal also points to the expectation of continued growth but defers funding for growth for at least two years. The full budget proposal can be found here (ebudget.ca.gov). This proposal, if passed, will be extremely detrimental to the CSU and Cal Poly. CSU The CSU is facing a $375 million ongoing state budget cut for fiscal year 2025-26 – funding equivalent to supporting approximately 36,000 students. If not revised, the proposed 7.95% cut for next year will negatively impact students across the system in significant ways. At this point in the budget cycle, the CSU and Cal Poly are communicating our strong concerns to the state legislature that a 7.95% cut will negatively impact the university system and students. This proposed reduction will impact academics, student services, course offerings, campus operations, and the CSU workforce – ultimately 3 jeopardizing recent gains in graduation rates and enrollment. It will also reduce the system’s positive impact on our state’s economy. We need everyone to pull together in one voice to reverse the cuts and provide funding for the CSU to grow and support our state’s economy. Cal Poly Given budget uncertainties, it is imperative – now more than ever – that Cal Poly deliver on its enrollment growth plans. Our path to enrollment growth has included a temporary planned budget deficit as we grow California student enrollment upon the request of the CSU. This also includes a disproportionate growth in resident versus nonresident students and planning for growth as we renovate space vacated by the opening of Mustang Business Park and the soon to be completed renovation of Kennedy Library. Other impacts to our university budget include our contribution of the majority of the investment for the much needed and deserved annual 5% GSI/MSI increases over the last two years. Finally, we have experienced increases in utilities, food, supplies and regulatory costs. Consequently, the planned reduction of $24.2 million in state funding to Cal Poly comes at a difficult time and significantly compounds our budgeted deficit. To help address the planned reduction, we are taking the following actions:  Senior Vice President Allison Baird-James and Vice President Jessica Darin are continuing to develop staffing plans for an Office of Effectiveness and Efficiency, which will be led by Vice President Darin. In the short term, Senior Vice President Baird-James and her team are initiating projects and collaborating with vice presidents and other leaders to identify and implement efficiency-enhancing technologies across the university.  Our faculty and staff are our most important assets in serving students. It is our strong desire to avoid potential layoffs by engaging in efficiency exercises and practices across the university. However, this could change if the CSU is not successful in rolling back this reduction. I realize that this possibility is unsettling, and I pledge that we are doing all we can to avoid potential layoffs.  As president, I am asking all vice presidents and leaders to review ways to capture efficiencies when positions are open – including the review of all searches in progress. For example, can we handle this work in another way, or can we integrate positions? Effective immediately, all MPP positions (new, vacant and refilled) require justification and advance approval from the university before posting.  We will continue to leverage our reserves strategically. 4 Despite these challenges, we remain committed to enrollment growth, which not only provides students with additional access to our highly sought-after programs but also enhances the university’s long-term financial stability. We will continue with our focus on efficiency and effectiveness to reduce expenses while maintaining our core mission. As you heard me say during Fall Convocation, Cal Poly graduates are in great demand and growth is key to our future. In fact, growth is now more important than ever. We will provide updates as the state budget unfolds. In May, Gov. Newsom will announce a revision to his state budget with the goal of a signed budget by the end of June. Thank you for all you do to make Cal Poly an amazing university. Sincerely, Jeffrey D.

Our goal would be to use a curated list of school reps for student affairs so we can save our staff time in researching this information to find the best points of contact. UCSB is a prime example with huge volumes of their students coming to town as is SDSU, many who have no idea this is an illegal street party, because their friends either do not know or don’t care.

We are happy to provide contact information for other universities (it’s all public). I hear you and understand that Chico and UCSB shared that distributing anti-party information to other universities was key to stopping the behavior. However, we have been told by many universities that they found that the more they shared messages about what not to do, the more students came into awareness of the events and chose to engage. It sounds like we’re getting very different advice from other institutions on this one. Can you share the data/information from Chico and UCSB? If we’re making the wrong call, we’d like to be able to consider all of that and if we should pivot. Always appreciate you reaching out, especially when there’s conflicting information.

These are documented and have proven useful tactics utilized by Chico and UCSB. I’m not sure what was communicated between Matt and Christine, but from reading below it sounded like no cooperation will be provided. If this is the case I would first ask that this decision be reconsidered and if it is the case then can you provide more information so I can brief the Council and City Manager as I expect to be asked pointed questions on preventative messaging and steps taken with Cal Poly.

University Policy on Pioneer Days-like Events Executive Memorandum 90-058 July 17, 1990 From: Robin S. Wilson, President Subject: University Policy on Pioneer Days-like Events Introduction On May 17, 1990, in the aftermath of the criminal disturbances occasioned by the city of Chico’s celebration of Rancho Chico Days, the Faculty Senate unanimously endorsed a “Resolution Against the Continuation of Pioneer Days-like Festivals.” FS 90/26 (copy attached) expresses faculty consternation at the long record of “acts of drunkenness, violence, vandalism, and rape” associated with Pioneer Days and its successor event, acts which “have all too frequently besmirched the proud reputation of the University and community.” The resolution condemns “the perpetuation of any Pioneer Days-like activities while the University is in session and urges the community to reexamine its priorities”; and it calls upon the University president, “should the community… sponsor any such ill-fated Pioneer Days-like event in the future,” to undertake, among other actions (1) To seek…injunctive relief… to protect the University from such an event; (2) To exhort all members of the academic community to ensure that the academic goals of the University are foremost on the minds of students and not participation in any Pioneer Days-like activities, and (3) To withdraw University recognition from any student organization which chooses to participate and is thereby being exploited by the community. Purpose Accordingly, this Executive Memorandum effectuates the Senate Resolution and establishes University Policy designed to discourage campus participation in future Pioneer Days-like celebrations and to lessen the impact on the university’s academic mission of similar or other disruptive celebrations should they occur. Broader questions pertaining to the quality of student life which were adduced in the senate discussions are addressed in a Letter to Faculty issued separately. Background Pioneer Days enjoyed a long and mostly benign history in Chico, although by the mid- seventies the attendant rowdiness had engendered criminal incidents which included gang rape and – on one occasion – homicide. The toll in alcohol-related injuries climbed steadily and the annual spring semester decline in student academic effort became alarming. Despite repeated attempts to reformat the event and repeated examinations by student and faculty committees and the implementation of their numerous (and usually quite sound) recommendations, the event continued to spawn wanton waste and woe. In 1987, after a dangerous riot, the University resolved to avoid any further involvement in the event, and in that year and again in 1988, 1989, and 1990 repeatedly exhorted those bent on reviving it to abandon it or at least schedule it at a time when the interests of students would not be so heavily damaged. Those pleas were not successful, and the 1990 event occasioned substantial property damage, several dozen injuries, and the arrest of some 108 persons, 26 of them Chico State students. In addition, as past experience had predicted, class attendance fell off very substantially. Most important, however, was the reinforcement of a widely held image of Chico State as a party school whose students, faculty, and curriculum cannot be taken seriously, thus directly and substantially damaging the fortunes of every member of the academic community. On the basis of comments aired at a special faculty convocation of May 10 and amplified in subsequent very valuable communications from several score faculty, of letters from staff, students and community members, and of a careful study of the past including analysis of heavy mail from alumni and parents in 1987, press and police reports over many years, the reports of special committees charged with assessing Pioneer Days in 1973, 1977, 1985 and 1987, and interviews with students arrested on the two nights of the most recent disturbance, I have concluded that the following elements have predominantly figured in the deterioration of the event over the years: • Large gatherings of drunken youth are likely to produce violence almost anywhere in the country (e.g., this year in Detroit, San Luis Obispo, Palm Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Daytona, Atlantic City and a dozen other resort and college towns). • Promotion of these events as tourist attractions with attendant media attention imports large numbers of visitors without local ties or accountability. • The careless sale of alcohol and juveniles’ easy access to it, coupled with some parents’ inability to control the movements and actions of minor children late at night, produce widespread drunkenness and bizarre behavior among youthful drinkers. • The growth of the University from a small state normal school of a thousand or so students to a modern comprehensive institution of over 16,000 students, and the addition to this population of some 12,000 community college students and (at celebratory events) an unknown number of secondary-school students, can rapidly precipitate a number of young people into the streets which – although only a small and unrepresentative fraction of the student population – readily overwhelms a police force suited to a city of 38,000 located in an underfinanced country. • When the voting age dropped to 18 a generation ago, colleges, courts and legislators abandoned parietal rules and codes of off-campus student conduct. Campus sanctions (expulsion or suspension) for most off-campus student misbehavior are now nearly impossible. Policy 1. It is the policy of California State University, Chico to institute legal action to restrain off-campus organizations, private or public, from conducting—while the University is in session—public celebrations dependent upon the use of university facilities or the exploitation of the university faculty, staff, or students in a manner likely to be detrimental to the academic mission of the University. To make determinations of threat posed by either the nature or the timing of such celebrations, the Faculty Senate will be asked to constitute an ad hoc subcommittee to review and recommend approval or disapproval for proposed events which solicit participation by student organizations recognized and supported by the University 1. University-recognized and –supported organizations which participate in public celebrations deemed by the Senate committee to be inimical to the academic interests of the University will suffer loss of university recognition and support as soon as their intent to participate is asserted. Organizations so proscribed may petition the Vice President for Student Affairs for university recognition. Such petitions will be accepted no sooner than two years after the withdrawal of recognition. A recommendation for favorable action from the Vice President for Student Affairs will include the endorsement of the Senate subcommittee. The VPSA will publish and distribute to new students each fall a list of proscribed organizations University-recognized and –supported organizations will constitute local chapters of national organizations (e.g., most fraternities and sororities and certain religious, special interest, disciplinary, and partisan political groups) can expect university notification to their sponsors of actions taken under the provisions of this section. Insurance carriers for such organizations will also be notified of the university’s withdrawal of recognition and support. Faculty and staff advisers to such organizations will not enjoy state liability protection for their service in that capacity. Organizations which do not enjoy university recognition and support may not use university facilities in any way and may not use the university name or service mark to identify themselves. (Attachment) RESOLUTION AGAINST THE CONTINUATION OF PIONEER DAYS-LIKE FESTIVALS Whereas, The faculty, staff, and students of California State University, Chico have endeavored to distinguished the University as a center of learning and scholarly activity; and Whereas, The University and surrounding communities had long enjoyed the traditional University-sponsored Spring Festival known as Pioneer Days which began when the University had but a few thousand students; and Whereas, With the growth of the University and the surrounding community, Pioneer Days became identified not for its celebration of history and family but rather for associated acts of drunkenness, violence, vandalism and rape; and Whereas, The University found such associated acts of drunkenness, violence, vandalism, and rape to be antithetical to its academic mission and therefore, In 1987, banned all activities associated with Pioneer Days; and Whereas, Several members of the Chico community refused to recognize that the unfortunate antisocial consequences of Pioneer Days had become inherent in the festival itself; and Whereas, Those community members nevertheless chose to continue to sponsor all activities of Pioneer Days (transparently named Rancho Chico Days) as the traditional spring festival; and Whereas, The best and well-intentioned efforts of those associated with Rancho Chico Days could not forestall the inevitable magnet that the festival creates for acts of drunkenness, violence, and vandalism, which have all too frequently besmirched the proud reputation of the University and community; and Whereas, Assigning the blame for the most recent riotous behavior may assuage some consciences, it serves no useful purpose since such behavior is inherently intertwined with continuation of any Pioneer Days-like Spring activities; and Whereas, Although it is unfortunate when the immoral and criminal acts of a few ruin the wholesome fun of many, the University can no longer endure the perception of affiliation with any Pioneer Days-like activities as such perception serves only to devalue the University, its faculty, its staff, its students, its programs and its degrees; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, condemns the immoral, irresponsible and criminal activities which occurred during the 1990 Rancho Chico Days; and be it further Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, condemns the perpetuation of any Pioneer Days-like activities while the University is in session and urges the community to reexamine its priorities; and be it further Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, urges President Wilson to render the most severe penalty available on those students found guilty of crimes and misdemeanors associated with the 1990 Rancho Chico Days; and be it further Resolved, That should the community nevertheless continue to sponsor any such ill-fated Pioneer Days-like event in the future, the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico urges President Wilson (1) To seek whatever injunctive relief which may be available through the courts to protect the University from such an event; (2) To exhort all members of the academic community to ensure that the academic goals of the University are foremost on the minds of students and not participation in any Pioneer Days-like activities, and, (3) To withdraw University-recognition from any student organization which chooses to participate, and is thereby being exploited by the community. 1 From:Wallace, Christine Sent:Thursday, January 16, 2025 4:34 PM To:Courtney Kienow Subject:I changed the power point, use this :) Attachments:NOISE IN REVIEW 2024 SCLC Jan 2025.pdf Christine Wallace Police Public Affairs Manager Police Department 1042 Walnut Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401-2729 E cwallace@slocity.org T 805.781.7186 slocity.org Stay connected with the City by signing up for e-notifications This e-mail, and any files transmitted with it, are intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, protected, and/or privileged material.

Chancellor SUBJECT: President Jeffrey D. Armstrong – Completion of Triennial Performance Review The California State University Board of Trustees evaluates the performance of CSU presidents and the state of campus affairs on a three-year cycle, in addition to the less formal annual reviews that the chancellor conducts with each president. The purpose of presidential evaluations and the annual conferences is to keep the CSU Board of Trustees properly informed of university successes and challenges, to develop and maintain alignment regarding strategic goals, and for the board and chancellor to demonstrate our commitment to and support of the university and its students, faculty, staff and leadership. I write today to inform you that the regularly scheduled three-year performance evaluation for President Jeffrey D. Armstrong has been completed. The feedback that the board and I received noted President Armstrong’s visionary leadership, outstanding community engagement, focus on inclusive student success and capable management of resources. He is seen as steadfastly committed to broadening access to a Cal Poly education, with the philanthropic savvy and creative mindset necessary to create space for educational and operational innovations. Public higher education faces many opportunities and challenges. We believe that by working together, the Cal Poly community will advance the university’s essential educational mission and remain a beacon of opportunity. The Presidential Review Process The litany of tasks and responsibilities expected by the board of the CSU university presidents is extensive. In addition to providing leadership and management for academic, student support and administrative matters in a collaborative environment that honors principles of shared governance, the president also has responsibility for engaging with the broader community, performing systemwide duties, contributing to state and national higher education policy, and cultivating philanthropic support and stewardship – all of which advance and benefit Cal Poly and its students. President Armstrong January 7, 2025 Page 2 To assess President Armstrong’s progress on these and other issues, the board and I initiated the regular three-year review process during the spring term of 2024. This represented the president’s second comprehensive evaluation since his appointment as president in 2010. All campus constituents and stakeholders were invited and encouraged to participate. We received letters from faculty, staff, students and community members regarding all aspects of the president’s performance. The board and I appreciate the candid, insightful and confidential feedback from the extended campus community, and offer our heartfelt thanks to those who took the time to provide such thoughtful input for this review. The points of view expressed in each letter were read and carefully considered, and a comprehensive summary of the input was prepared for the board’s review, maintaining the confidence and anonymity of every participant. In addition, a team comprised of CSU trustees, vice chancellors and university presidents visited the campus to conduct interviews with the president and Cal Poly constituents, after which it prepared a report for my and the full board’s review. Finally, the CSU Office of the Chancellor prepared its own evaluation of the president, informed by the review letters and the site team report, as well as by campus and community input, visits to the university and interactions in the normal course of business with leadership, faculty, students, alumni and staff at Cal Poly. These documents, plus comprehensive operational, fiscal and student success data were reviewed, discussed and deliberated in closed session with the board and President Armstrong at the September 2024 Board meeting. That meeting led to a deeper understanding of the university, the relationship of Cal Poly to the larger community it serves, and of the university’s opportunities and challenges moving forward. (While it is understandable that there is public interest in the details of this discussion, performance evaluations for any faculty or staff member within the CSU, including our presidents, are confidential [Government Code Sec. 6254(c) and 6255].) As a result of this process, certain goals were agreed upon by President Armstrong and the board. They are, in no rank order: 1. Continue expanding access to Cal Poly for low-income, first generation, and historically underrepresented students. Improve African American enrollment to at least 1.5% of total enrollment (currently, the three-year average is 0.713%). 2. Fund and create a faculty and staff compensation improvement program that provides ongoing additional compensation. 3. Grow enrollment driven by a multi-year plan and getting year-round operations up and running. This is an opportunity to reimagine the academic calendar and programming to include opportunities for every student to participate in high-impact practices and to ensure enrollment growth while supporting student success. Cal Poly will better meet demand for enrollment and from employers for its graduates. Cal Poly must do its part to help the CSU raise enrollment to meet the terms of the governor’s compact. 4. Build infrastructure and support for the new efficiency and effectiveness office (name to be finalized), including allocating space and staffing. It is expected that the initial focus of the office will be determined by the comprehensive business practices assessment currently underway by the Blue Tree Technology Group. 5.

The feedback showed a strong community commitment to Cal Poly’s success. The CSU Board of Trustees, President Armstrong and I share this commitment. 1 From:Courtney Leigh Kienow <ckienow@calpoly.edu> Sent:Thursday, January 9, 2025 11:39 AM To:McDonald, Whitney; Hermann, Greg; Szentesi, Whit; Avakian, Greg; Collins, Scott Cc:Scott, Rick; Tuggle, Todd; Tway, Timothea (Timmi); Horn, Matt Subject:FW: Cal Poly News — Jan. 8, 2025 This message is from an External Source.

Hi City leaders, Cal Poly will start charging for parking 7 days a week in February, a change from our no charge on weekends policy currently in place. I wanted to flag the below press release that we shared out with local media. I know there are a lot of recreational users of our spaces on the weekends and since we’re now charging for parking 7 days a week, we’re trying to get the word out wherever applicable and appropriate about this change. We’re doing paid advertisements in local media on this as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Starting Saturday, Feb. 1 campus visitors will need to purchase a parking permit on Saturdays and Sundays in addition to weekdays. Cal Poly will join 16 other CSU campuses that have seven-day parking permit requirements. Students, faculty and staff who have a valid parking permit will not be affected, nor will visitors for Performing Arts Center events, as their ticket includes parking. Parking permits will continue to be required for attendees of athletics events. California law states that permission to park on campus is granted to those persons who have paid a parking fee. These laws stipulate that each campus must generate revenue to fund the construction, operation and maintenance of all parking structures and lots on campus without the help of state or tuition funding. CSU policy — directed by the California State Legislature — requires each campus to fund the operation and maintenance of its parking structures and lots. Just as at all CSUs, Cal Poly’s parking facilities are self-supporting and do not receive any taxpayer funding. The funding used to fiscally support campus parking facilities comes from parking permit revenue. Under the new seven-day policy, parking permits will be required 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. All short-term hourly and metered parking areas will be enforced seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. All resident parking areas will continue to be enforced seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Evening/weekend parking permits are available for students, faculty and staff who do not already have a valid parking permit. These permits allow for parking in most lots throughout campus after 5 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. Daily parking permits are easy to purchase online, via parking apps such as ParkMobile and PayByPhone, or in person at parking kiosks located in the parking structures. # # # 1 From:Wallace, Christine Sent:Tuesday, January 7, 2025 8:20 AM To:Elizabeth Aiello-Coppola; Courtney Leigh Kienow Subject:RE: Fraternities I wasn’t aware, I’m glad you had knowledge.

For your knowledge, I field dozens of calls and emails every quarter from students and I am very diligent in responding to them, providing time for interviews and generally speaking, helping them be successful in their assignments. I appreciate his apology, and I trust he’ll be here at 1:15. What I’m finding is that this is becoming the norm for students and it’s becoming more difficult for me and my colleagues to honor their requests. We know the value of the assignments and we take very seriously how our interaction with students can help shape how they perceive and interact with law enforcement and public safety. We want to continue to participate with students in this manner, but not at the expense of the time and work the public has entrusted us to do.

I wanted to reach out because I’ve been assigned an enterprise story for my news reporting and writing class, and the topic I chose was how the police patrol and manage the Greek-life parties during the weekends. Seeing as how you are the public affairs manager for the San Luis Obispo Police Department, I feel your input would be valuable to my piece. I would love to set up an interview whenever is best for you. I hope we can talk about how the police coordinate with fraternities on their parties, how they patrol frat row and how you deal with crimes that occur at frat parties (especially when it comes to sexual misconduct). I do want to preface that this story is not meant to be published in the mustang news and is just an assignment. However, depending on how this story turns out, I may want to submit it to the Mustang News for publishing. 5 If you want to reach me, you can either email me back or call my number (858-203-5076) anywhere between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you are interested in helping, please contact me soon.

Halloween is around the corner, and I know that many of you will celebrate with your fellow Mustangs. If you choose to celebrate, please take care of yourself and each other. Please take a moment to read this information to help you celebrate safely.  Fentanyl: This dangerous and lethal synthetic opioid is being cut into much of the illegal drug supply. Narcan is a safe and lifesaving opioid antagonist available to all active Cal Poly students. Head to the Health Center Pharmacy or stop by the Health Center Lawn from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Tuesdays to receive an overdose prevention kit. Learn how to help on the CDC website.  Be Aware of Double-Fines Violations: The city enforces a safety enhancement zone or double-fine period for party-related violations.  Be an Upstander: Wherever you choose to spend the weekend, be an Upstander — a proactive bystander who will take action to prevent harm to others. You can help prevent acts of hate and bias, sexual violence, and alcohol/drug-related injuries and overdose. If you witness or experience a bias incident, you can report it through the Bias Incident Reporting Form.  Amnesty Protocol: Cal Poly’s amnesty protocol provides a mechanism that allows students to call for help without fear of consequences in medical emergencies or suspected medical emergencies.  Avoid Cultural Appropriation: When picking out a Halloween costume, it is important to be aware of the costume’s cultural context and avoid cultural appropriation — adopting certain elements from another culture, which often plays into negative stereotypes and doesn’t consider cultural significance. Regardless 3 of intent, cultural appropriation for the sake of a Halloween costume dehumanizes and demeans cultures and communities.  Housing Guests: Visitors and guests of campus residents are not permitted to stay overnight in University Housing from 8 p.m. Oct. 24 to 8 a.m. Oct. 28 and 8 p.m. Oct. 31-8 a.m. to Nov. 3. Any guests should make plans to stay off campus. Personal Safety Resources  Rave Guardian: Turn your smartphone into a personal safety device. Download the free app from the Apple Store or Google Play.  Request a safety walk with Mustang Patrol by calling Cal Poly Police Dispatch at 805-756-2281 or through the Rave Guardian app.  Mustang Shuttle runs from 7 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 6 p.m.-12:30 a.m. seven days a week. Download the app to track the shuttle locations and see accurate arrival times. Celebrate with On-Campus Events  Party Smart Pregame, Thursdays 4-6 p.m. Get ready for “Halloweekend” with the final Party Smart Pregame for trick or treating, one last chance to win a costume, and the opportunity to learn about alcohol and other drug safety. Campus Health and Wellbeing will distribute free overdose prevention kits and refills and will offer training for those interested on how to use Narcan and its benefits, including reversing an opioid overdose.  Fright Fest, Saturday, Oct. 26, 8:30 p.m.-1 a.m. at the Rec Center. The event will include a DJ, roller skating, a Terror Truck, free food, a crate stacking competition at the Climbing Park, escape rooms, laser tag and more. The event is in partnership with Campus Health and Wellbeing.  Halloween Neighborhood Clean-Up, Sunday, Oct. 27, 10 a.m.- noon. Join the Center for Service in Action for a spooktacular neighborhood clean-up. Meet behind the Recreation Center at the intersection of Hathaway and Longview for trash bags, gloves and free doughnuts. RSVP on Cal Poly Now to join. 4  Safer Halloweekend Recap Booth, Thursday, Oct. 31, 4-6 p.m. Join Safer on the Health Center Lawn to talk about consent, boundaries and bystander intervention with Halloween-themed coloring, candy, stickers and giveaways.  Annual Haunted House, Saturday, Nov. 2, 8-11 p.m. in the Cerro Vista Community Center. Additional safety tips  If you choose to celebrate this weekend, please remember to:  Plan for safe transportation.  Stay with a friend.  Don’t leave any drink unattended.  Eat and stay hydrated.  Less is more – stick to one alcoholic drink or less per hour. I hope you will make choices that uphold the values of The Mustang Way. The choices you make this Halloween are about personal responsibility and making good decisions for yourself but also embracing our responsibility to look out for each other as a community.

I am all for a presentation about what SLO Solutions provides to our community but what we really need at this meeting is for people in leadership positions with information to share and help guide the conversation. This is Joy looking for others to do the hard work in challenging meetings. I do not have the confidence in Nicolina to be able to deliver the de-escalation that she’s describing. She is seeing the struggle of the Chair and Vice and hasn’t done much to insert her skill set to help. My two cents. I’m going to support whatever Ashleigh/you gals want.

I have been thinking about my role at SCLC (as a mediator and an omni-partial stakeholder) in supporting the group navigate some of the more contentious issues. I want to be more helpful without overstepping the Chair and 2 Vice Chair in their leadership roles, or taking conversations down a path that derails the agenda or violates parli pro. Joy said you were planning meetings to discuss the format of SCLC. If there is any way you think I could add to the conversation, please feel free to reach out! I would be happy to brainstorm and do whatever I can to support progress and mutual understanding within the committee. One thought would be for me to present at an upcoming SCLC meeting about Creative Mediation, the role of a community mediation center, SLO Solutions services, and possibly (perhaps in a separate meeting) strategies for navigating challenging issues. I see certain dynamics in SCLC meetings that I could help de-escalate by naming/normalizing/depersonalizing what I see happening, or summarizing the various perspectives followed by questions that identify the underlying need/request and organize a path forward. Getting unstuck is hard when we have so many voices at the table and a limited timeframe. Mediation tools can help! This would work best with advance permission from the group and/or expectation setting that this is a role I might play as needed. Let me know what you think. I am open to suggestions and at your service!

Please see the Cal Poly update included below that President Armstrong shared with the campus community earlier this morning. Most sincerely, Courtney From: state-cp-staff-request@calpoly.edu <state-cp-staff-request@calpoly.edu> on behalf of PresidentsOffice@calpoly.edu <PresidentsOffice@calpoly.edu> Date: Monday, September 23, 2024 at 10:25 AM Subject: Fall Welcome To help protect your privacy, Microsoft Office prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. The Cal Poly logo and shield Office of the President 2 To the Cal Poly Community: Whether you are new to Cal Poly, returning from a summer break, or have been here all along—welcome to the fall 2024 quarter and the traditional start of the academic year! There are many new programs and initiatives underway this year, and I can’t mention them all in one email. However, there are a few things that I want to bring to your attention: Fall Convocation If you were not able to attend Fall Convocation in person, I encourage you to watch the video of the event to celebrate those members of the faculty and staff who were recognized for extraordinary excellence, to hear the greetings from ASI, the Academic Senate, and representatives from two of the CSU’s largest unions, and to hear the overview that I offered of issues that are on our collective agenda this year. CSU Welcome As the beginning of the academic year kicks off for all 23 CSU universities, Chancellor Garcia shares a warm welcome to campus communities; expresses her deep appreciation for their work; and outlines her systemwide priorities for the academic year, as well as her vision for the CSU’s future. I encourage you to watch the video. Proposed Integration of Cal Maritime and Cal Poly The CSU Chancellor’s Office has proposed the integration of Cal Poly and Cal Maritime. This integration would bring together two vibrant universities steeped in the tradition of a “Learn by Doing” ethos with great synergies and potential economies of scale. Cal Maritime offers unique, critically important degree programs, many of which also include professional licensing necessary for a career in the maritime industry. Unfortunately, a decline in enrollment and a lack of adequate funding have made Cal Maritime unsustainable as a standalone university. (For more information, see the minutes of the CSU Board of Trustees July 2024 meeting, starting on page 82.) I agree with the Chancellor’s Office—I think this is a great opportunity for both Cal Poly and Cal Maritime. The trustees will consider a second informational presentation at their September meeting (this week) and are expected to vote on the proposed integration in November. Q2S / YRO / Calendar Cal Poly is switching to a semester-based calendar starting in 2026-27. Although this move was dictated by circumstances, the university community has pursued it with thoughtfulness and vigor. Cal Poly is also moving toward a Year-Round Operations (YRO) model starting in 2027- 28, to allow us to increase the number of students who can benefit from a 3 Cal Poly education and to make access to high-impact practices such as study abroad and internships available to more of our students through greater schedule flexibility. This fall quarter, we will discuss amending the academic calendar to accommodate both changes—semesters and YRO. I encourage all interested members of the community to engage with this process as opportunities are announced. Strengthening Title IX The CSU is committed to treating everyone equally and to preventing workplace discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. As a result of both an internal audit and an independent, outside examination, the CSU determined that the system as a whole and each individual campus need to strengthen their systems for preventing, reporting, and responding to these concerns. Cal Poly formed an implementation committee, which has worked hard to make sure that we are following best practices. If you have questions about our Civil Rights programs or need support, please contact Cal Poly’s Civil Rights & Compliance Office by visiting crco.calpoly.edu/. Campus Free Speech Over the past year, the CSU has reviewed and revised its campus free speech policies, and each university in the system has created its own addendum to explain how the policy will be implemented locally. Freedom of speech is essential to the life of a university, and the policies are intended to secure and protect that right equally for everyone at Cal Poly, while also protecting other rights, including every campus community member’s and visitor’s right to safety and well-being and to go about the ordinary business of the university without excessive disruption. To access additional resources, please visit the Dean of Students Free Speech website. Finally, I would like to thank all of you for choosing Cal Poly. Whether you are a student, faculty or staff, and whether this is your first week at Cal Poly or your 56th year, we are honored that you have chosen us as your partner in this next stage of your journey through life. I wish you all a great fall quarter! Sincerely, Jeffrey D.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Good morning CJAA members, As mentioned in this week's CJAA meeting, we are in the early stages of planning an FBI Citizen's Academy in Santa Barbara County in early 2025. The Citizen's Academy is a community outreach program that gives business, religious, civic, and community leaders an inside look at the FBI. For this iteration, we plan to hold classes on four Saturdays in Santa Barbara County (location to be determined). The mission of the FBI Citizen's Academy is to foster a greater understanding of the role of federal law enforcement in the community through frank discussion and education. The Citizen's Academy is held several times a year in Los Angeles but I believe this is the first time it has been offered in Santa Barbara so we are eager to nominate the best candidates. We are hoping to 3 nominate leaders from various fields including: local government (elected or civil service), business, religious, educational institutions, healthcare or local newspapers or other areas where the participants would be interested in getting an inside look at the FBI. It is our sincere hope that the experience will equip leaders in our community with a more nuanced view of the work of federal law enforcement and the United States Intelligence Community. I've attached a brochure that describes the Citizen's Academy. We are hoping to begin nominations in October, conduct vetting and selections in November and December and commence in the new year. I will provide further details as soon as they become available. Please let me know if you know folks which would be interested in attending.

Dear Cal Poly neighbors and SLO community members, We hope this email finds you well. 2 We have some exciting updates for you in this edition of the Cal Poly Fall 2024 Neighbor E-Newsletter. Topics include:  Fall schedule and planned fireworks  Faculty/staff housing at the corner of Grand Avenue and Slack Street  On-campus student housing and enrollment  Job posting opportunities  Cal Maritime integration  Fall events with amplified sound  What to do if you have concerns re: an on-campus issue Fall Schedule and planned fireworks We’re just a few weeks away from the start of fall term at Cal Poly. The first day of classes is Monday, Sept. 23. Mustang Move-in is all set, and schedules are out for the tightly choreographed process of students moving on to campus. Most students will move in on Sept. 17 and 18 between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. To ensure a safe, efficient experience for the participating students and supporters, there will be several parking and traffic modifications around campus, particularly on the main move-in days:  Grand Avenue will be open to inbound traffic for move-in only and closed at Pacheco Road (intersection at the Vista Grande Dining Complex) to Village Drive  Pacheco Way will be open for outbound traffic If you would like to be a part of the volunteer team helping on these days, you can sign up below. Volunteer for Mustang Move-In Here Week of Welcome will take place Sept. 18-22. There is a large event in Spanos Stadium on the evening of Sept. 18. Fireworks are expected between 7:50 and 8:15 p.m. that evening for less than five minutes and again between 8:50 and 9:15 p.m. for about 10 minutes. Faculty/Staff Housing at Grand and Slack 3 If you’ve driven onto campus recently through the Grand Avenue entrance, you’ve likely noticed that construction activity has begun at the northeast corner of Grand and Slack. The project, named Vista Meadows, will include 33 for-sale staff and faculty houses. This is the second project in our faculty and staff housing program, which currently includes the nearly 70 units at Bella Montana. Additional development sites that will include rental options on and/or near campus are being evaluated as part of the long-term plan for the university to develop 400-600 units of workforce housing. For a full update on our future plans for staff and faculty housing, please visit the Cal Poly Partners website. These projects are intended to address commonly voiced recruitment and retention issues for Cal Poly’s staff and faculty and provide additional housing options amidst the extremely high demand in the local housing market. On-Campus Student Housing and Enrollment The California State University Board of Trustees approved the development of approximately 4,100 additional student beds on campus at their most recent meeting. The development will accommodate all first- and second-year students, with the goal of reducing the number of students living in the community. The plan calls for nine new buildings; the replacement of the North Mountain Residence Hall with newer, more modern facilities; and significant investments in renovation of the Red Bricks during summer breaks. You can find more information about this phased plan here: http://www.housing.calpoly.edu/future-housing This year, Cal Poly will have about the same number of students living on-campus as we did last year, about 8,800. Cal Poly has the largest housing program in the CSU, with active plans to grow by thousands more. Regarding enrollment, census numbers won’t be complete until later in the fall, but we are anticipating modest growth. We like to remind folks that fall quarter tends to be our highest in terms of enrollment which is also the timing of the census. Numbers tend to drop throughout the year as students graduate at the end of each term, engage in study abroad programs, or participate in off-campus internships, among many other reasons. Job posting opportunities Career Services invites community members and local businesses to post on the newly updated MustangJobs website. This free job posting platform is a great way to connect with students seeking one-time jobs, ongoing part-time jobs, internships, and full-time opportunities. Household employers and local businesses can create an account and post a job by completing an employer registration. MustangJobs FAQs and guides are available on the Career Services website, and any questions may be directed to 805-756-2501. 4 Cal Maritime integration You may have heard that the CSU Board of Trustees took the first step to move forward a plan to integrate CSU Maritime Academy and Cal Poly. If you have questions about this process, you can find more information here along with FAQs. Fall Events with Amplified Sound The following are the ASI Events including amplified sound: September: Welcome Back Concert, Sunday, Sept. 22, 7 - 10 p.m., UU Plaza SLO Music Hour, Thursday, Sept. 26, 11 a.m. - Noon, UU Plaza Poolooza, Saturday, Sept. 28, 1 - 3 p.m., Recreation Center Leisure Pool October: Fright Fest, Saturday, Oct. 26, 8:30 p.m. - 1 a.m., Recreation Center (nothing outdoors) SLO Music Hour, Thursday, October 31, 11 a.m. - Noon, UU Plaza November: Large-Scale Concert, Wednesday, Nov. 6, 8 - 10 p.m., Recreation Center Main Gym SLO Music Hour, Thursday, Nov. 14, 11 a.m. - Noon, UU Plaza The athletics schedule can be found here: https://gopoly.com/calendar Noise Concerns from Campus If you are concerned that noise-generating events are taking place outside of permitted hours or above campus parameters for decibels in accordance with Cal Poly campus policy, we encourage you to reach out to the non-emergency line of the Cal Poly Police Department.

Courtney On Wed, Aug 28, 2024 at 11:42 AM Courtney Leigh Kienow <ckienow@calpoly.edu> wrote: Hi Kathie, Again, thank you for reaching out. I’m glad Supervisor Arnold suggested you email us. I was able to share your email with several Cal Poly leaders. We understand the gravity of the issues you’ve outlined and want to assure you that Cal Poly takes them very seriously. The university remains committed to working collaboratively with local authorities, residents, and our campus community to address these issues. Assembly Bill 524, known as the Campus-Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency Act, requires universities to collect and publish specific information related to sororities and fraternities. This includes data on sanctioned events, such as the date, time, and location of these events. However, the law does not require that universities publish the exact addresses where the events are held. As you note, Cal Poly published that data for the first time in October 2023. After doing so, we realized we were the only one of the 23 CSUs that posted the exact addresses. To provide for privacy and security, and for consistency with other universities, we now include only the city in which the event was held. The exception would be if misconduct (hazing and Title IX violations) occurs, the specific address is required to be listed. 2 The Deferred Recruitment Compromise is not a binding agreement nor does it last indefinitely. It was a solution to issues pertinent at the time. As other policies and legal requirements evolve, so too do the requirements for fraternities. A Greek Row is identified in Cal Poly’s Master Plan. I directly answer your questions at the bottom of the email in red text. We appreciate your continued engagement and look forward to working together to find resolutions that benefit both the university and the broader community.

Director of Community Relations and Economic Development Office of the President Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA _____ office 805-756-6000 direct 805-756-6098 www.calpoly.edu From: kathie walker < Date: Thursday, August 15, 2024 at 10:52 PM To: Jeffrey Dyer Armstrong <jarmstro@calpoly.edu>, Courtney Leigh Kienow <ckienow@calpoly.edu> Subject: Cal Poly Fraternities Hi Dr. Armstrong and Courtney, I corresponded with the County Supervisor for District 5 to encourage her to attend the first SCLC meeting this academic year. I also explained about ongoing issues related to Cal Poly's illegal fraternity operations and their detrimental effect on neighborhoods in San Luis Obispo, including the effects of noisy parties on my family and several other people who have reached out to me from various neighborhoods including Alta Vista, Monterey Heights, and the S. Tassajara/Ramona area. The Supervisor offered a list of people to contact, including you, so I am reaching out to you for solutions. I previously emailed you, Courtney, about the ongoing issues but there was never any resolution and the problem has compounded over the past two years, as more illegal fraternity houses have moved into our neighborhood. My initial complaints about noise from fraternities in our neighborhood led to targeted harassment, cyber-stalking (see my email from 4/24/2023 "Ongoing harassment from fraternity tenants at 1267 Fredericks Street"), and recently, on 6/2/2024, vile threats were yelled at my home by college-aged guys, specifically naming me. Someone also trespassed onto our property on St. Frattys Day (3/16/2024) and came up to my bedroom window, said my name, then told a bystander that they 3 were friends with the Sigma Pi fraternity members who lived next to us during the 2022 - 2023 academic year. Each of these events was captured on our video surveillance. I also sent the County Supervisor a link to Assembly Bill 524: The Campus-Recognized Sorority and Transparency Act (AB 524), with the requirements that sororities and fraternities provide specific information to Cal Poly on or before July 1st, including a list of their sanctioned events and the date, time, and address location of those events for the previous academic year. Cal Poly published their AB 524 Report for last year on October 1, 2023, as mandated, including the date, time, and address location of each sanctioned event held by sororities and fraternities at Cal Poly during the previous academic year 2022-2023. I had already identified the addresses of fraternity houses, including "satellite houses" before Cal Poly published their AB 524 Report, but was able to cross-reference the addresses to confirm their locations. Most of Cal Poly's main Chapter houses are "satellite houses" and are not owned by the fraternities. They are rental homes in R-1 and R-2 residential neighborhoods. San Luis Obispo Municipal Code (SLOMC) and Zoning Regulations prohibit fraternities and sororities from operating in R-1 and R-2 residential neighborhoods, which means they are not allowed to hold "sanctioned events" or "parties" as defined in the Party Registration Policy and Guidelines of Greek life at Cal Poly. I reached out to Elizabeth Aiello-Coppola at Cal Poly's Greek life office and she directed me to contact SLOPD and/or Code Enforcement. I then met with City Administration and Code Enforcement, and they began investigating the illegal fraternity operations. The City's code enforcement supervisor, John Mezzapesa, met with Cal Poly staff and members of Greek life to explain the SLOMC and Zoning Regulations, and the prohibition of fraternity and sorority operations in R-1 and R-2 residential neighborhoods. The City was able to identify over 50 illegal fraternity houses and sent Notices of Violation or Advisory Letters to those properties. Shortly after the City sent these notifications, Cal Poly staff told John Mezzapesa that Cal Poly would no longer keep track of their satellite fraternity houses, which include the main Chapter houses for many of Cal Poly's fraternities. Additionally, during this same timeframe, Cal Poly staff edited their AB 524 Report online and erased all of the addresses for sanctioned events for every fraternity and sorority during the 2022-2023 academic year, and replaced the addresses with the generic location of "San Luis Obispo". It is evident that Cal Poly took these actions after realizing the illegal operations of their fraternities, and to hide the information from the City and the public. The Party Registration Policy and Guidelines were enacted as a part of the Deferred Recruitment Compromise between Dr. Armstrong and Greek Life Leaders / Keith Humphrey. In 2010, Cal Poly implemented a deferred rush policy for freshman males that did not allow them to join fraternities until their second quarter. The policy was a result of the death of Cal Poly student Carson Starkey, who died from acute alcohol poisoning due to fraternity-related hazing at a satellite fraternity house. Soon after the deferred recruitment was announced, representatives from the NIC flew to Cal Poly to visit with administrators and spurred a three-year campaign to restore recruitment of the freshman fraternity members in the fall. In 2013, Dr. Armstrong entered into the Deferred Recruitment Compromise with Greek leadership and Keith Humphrey. One commitment in the Compromise was the implementation of a Party Registration Program that specifically included "satellite houses". Now, Cal Poly has discarded the commitment. It is no longer keeping track of the fraternity satellite houses and parties at satellite houses will no longer be registered with Cal Poly's Greek life office, per the commitments in the Deferred Compromise Agreement and Party Registration Policy. This was confirmed recently when I made a public records 4 request and received a response from the Public Records Access Officer, Maren Hufton, that "the location of a sanctioned event must be held at a chapter house or at a 3rd party venue", excluding "a registered satellite house" from the locations that Greek life parties can be held per the Party Registration Policy. She also confirmed that Cal Poly no longer has a list of satellite houses. I am certain Cal Poly understands the risks of alcohol consumption at fraternity houses, including satellite houses, especially considering that Carson Starkey died from alcohol intoxication at a fraternity event in a satellite fraternity house. There are at least 50 satellite fraternity houses in Alta Vista and Monterey Heights that have ongoing fraternity parties, including hosting sororities since the Panhellenic Conference does not allow parties with alcohol at sorority houses. Is Cal Poly really going to a blind eye to these events? Another commitment made in the Deferred Recruitment Compromise was that Cal Poly would recruit more fraternities to campus. In 2016, Cal Poly administration and Greek leaders met with potential fraternities and chose to add four additional Chapters to Cal Poly: Pi Kappa Phi, Alpha Sigma Phi, Gamma Delta, and Phi Delta Theta. They are now all members of Cal Poly's IFC. Every one of those fraternities has illegal "satellite houses" in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods that operate as full-fledged fraternity houses. Why does Cal Poly continue to recruit fraternities when they cannot provide a legal location for their operations? It is unfair to the City to bear that burden and for the residents to live with more and more disruptive parties every weekend that Cal Poly is in session. Does Cal Poly understand the negative impact that these constant loud fraternity parties have on the other residents who live near these fraternity houses in the City's neighborhoods? Does Cal Poly care? Courtney, you followed me out of a city council meeting a couple of years ago and told me that Cal Poly does care. I asked you, "Really?" because I didn't know whether to believe you or not. Based on the fact that Cal Poly erased the addresses from their AB 524 Report, and has told the City that they will no longer keep track of satellite fraternity houses, and has refused narrow records requests that do no legal exemption that allow them to be withheld, it does not seem that Cal Poly cares about transparency or accountability to the City and the neighborhoods. I share Jan Marx's view that the best long-term solution is for Cal Poly to have a Greek Row on campus. This has been mentioned multiple times since Carson Starkey died at a satellite fraternity house in 2008, the commitment was included in the Deferred Recruitment Compromise, and the idea is referenced in Cal Poly's Master Plan. It is also mentioned in San Luis Obispo's General Plan. We, collectively, have reached a tipping point and there needs to be meaningful progress toward a solution. Until a Greek Row is built, I ask that Cal Poly work with the City and our neighborhoods to relocate its fraternities into legal locations, in R-3 and R-4 zones, and stop allowing fraternities to host events in R-1 and R-2 residential neighborhoods. We cannot continue to live with the extreme disruptions that have been created by Cal Poly's fraternities in our neighborhoods. Please let me know what solutions you propose and a timeline for implementation. Also please answer these questions:  Does Cal Poly plan to stop keeping track of satellite houses for its fraternities? In accordance with legal requirements, Cal Poly publishes the address for each chapter house, which is a residence that is not owned by the university but occupied by a campus-recognized sorority or fraternity, or a residence that is owned and occupied by the campus-recognized sorority or fraternity. Cal Poly does not own any chapter houses. 5  Does Cal Poly understand that the main Chapter houses for many of its fraternities are "satellite houses" in R-1 and R-2 residential neighborhoods? Cal Poly recognizes “chapter houses” as defined by the law. Cal Poly has no control over the location of chapter houses or other houses used by fraternities.  Is Cal Poly changing their Party Registration Policy and Guidelines for Greek life whereby they will no longer review or list events held at satellite fraternity houses? The current party registration policy and guidelines are going through the annual update.  Does Cal Poly plan to help fraternities find legal locations for their fraternities? Fraternities are independent of the university and we do not provide them with legal advice or real estate services. However, as with all student organizations, we offer guidance and assistance.  Is Cal Poly planning to recruit more Chapters to campus? Cal Poly remains open to having more chapters. Thank you for your time and I hope we can work together to solve these issues.

Scott Subject:RE: Knock and Talks Attachments:NSPY report 2023 - 2024.pdf Hi Lea & Courtney, Lea, I just left you a voice mail about the soccer game. We (Deputy Chief Mickel and I) decided to shift the outreach this year because the top noise offending properties last academic year were 95% fraternities. I’ve reached out to the presidents of each org that earned lots of cites last year and I’m scheduling early Fall quarter visits to their chapter meetings to speak with the majority of their membership. The neighborhood visits from the past would engage only a few people at each property. Elizabeth with FSL helped connect me to the presidents and she’s aware of the “top earners”, I provided her with the attached sheet so she could see which properties/orgs I am aiming for. I ask all FSL orgs to invite me to one of their chapter meetings each year, this is just a more focused request to get the visits done earlier than later especially with the groups that clearly don’t care about how their behavior impacts the neighborhood. As they are not limited in their ability to hold parties unless they are on social probation, these visits may not do much in the way of motivating a change in behavior.

I talked to the SLO City Manager about this – we thought it may be more helpful to actually do them in the late fall timeframe (early December) after a few months of activity to really target the homes that are the highest offenders this year instead of houses that have a large number of violations from last year but may have a new mix of students in them. Christine Wallace from SLO PD has helped us coordinate these in the past. Christine: what do you think about doing these a little later in the year? Thanks! Courtney From: Lea P.
