Housing numbers. After considerable debate and re-hashing of the RHNA housing units numbers,the COG Board voted to accept the newly re-worked numbers presented by COG staff given their analysis of EDD's reevaluation of job locations. SLO's number was reduced by a total of 123 units The vote was 9-2-1. Supervisor Peg Pinard who originally voted `no'was absent. Supervisors `Katcho' and Shirley changed their votes from no to yes as did the City of Pismo Beach. Only Arroyo Grande and San Luis Obispo continued to oppose the allocations. The net result is that SLO's allocation is now set at 5,117 units or 682 units per year. HCL's allocation for SLO County remains unchanged at 18,035. My observation is that all COG members are unhappy with the dictatorial posture of HCL,but they feel that little will be achieved by a frontal attack and that a lot could possibly be lost by fighting with HCL. All members seemed resolved to begin now and work with the League and with CESAC to change the basic legislation that has put local governments in this powerless position. I agree that this is desirable, but I remain skeptical that the effort can be prolonged long enough to effectuate the needed changes. Jeff Hook of our staff sits on the housing technical committee and continues to question the`humbers"allocated to us. I have encouraged him to raise his questions and attempt to refine the numbers even further. Interestingly,Arroyo Grande believes that the housing numbers should respect"regional"geographic areas and not city limits per se. Whatever, a final refined number count may turn out to be,we now have number that COG has agreed to for each City and for the unincorporated area of the County. This is the number that HCL will expect to show in a Housing Element that is capable of being certified. Some business was continued to the January meeting including some items relating to our Transit system Our staff has been working(and will continue to work)with SLORTA staff in an attempt to work out an `Operating Agreement'that we do not have. We have a couple of contentious issues that need to be resolved.

Input: Please discuss the Resolution Opposing Pre-Emptive Unilateral Military Action against Iraq by USA. Please also vote to support this important resolution. A pre-emptive first strike by USA would be immoral, as well as have dreadful consequences (economically, environmentally, etc.) lasting the duration of our lifetimes. It would be unconscionable for a super power such as USA to wage a war against a small country like Iraq by making a pre-emptive first strike. And yes, it is not only appropriate for a City Council to publicly support such a resolution, it is in fact your moral duty. You would be supporting the US Constitution in supporting this resolution. Let us work to achieve peace by peaceful means. »Miki Gillman<< CC: <mikigillman@sbcglobal.net> RECEIVED ca 16 2002 SLO CITY COUNCIL Barbara Ehrbar-"Resolution Opposing P-- Emptive Unilateral Military Action inlraq _ _ Page 1 J From: Hank& Liz Apfelberg <hankliz@charter.net> To: <behrbar@ci.san-luis-obispo.ca.us> Date: 12/15/02 2:07PM Subject: 'Resolution Opposing Pre-Emptive Unilateral Military Action inlraq Hello Council People, I would like to strongly suggest..that you put the"Resolution Opposing Pre-Emptive Unilateral Military Action in Iraq by the United States"on your next Council agenda.This resolution was unanimously endorsed by the SLO Human Relations Commision,.
