Re: January 8, 2003 COG meeting
The SLORTA agenda was essentially non-controversmL Route 9 buses serving the
Cuesta Grade project will be reduced in number due to diminishing dollars as the project
winds down. A portion of COG's February meeting will be devoted to a public hearing
to identify unmet transit needs.
New COG officers were elected;Vice chair Peg Pinard becomes Chair,Paso Mayor
Frank Mecham will become vice chair and the third member ofthe Executive Committee
(as per COG custom)will be our '02 Chair,Morro Bay councilman Dave Eniott: The
other COG custom that is evident here is the alternating ofthe Chairmanship between a
Supervisor and a City representative. Wendy Scalise now represents Atascadero;
otherwise an COG members remain the same as '02.
Also new beginning with this January is the televising ofthe COG meetings. I saw part
of the replay, so it is working and any of you interested can now tune in.
The BIG item as expected was the housing allocation recommendation of staff Most
everybody had something to say. I carried our Council's unanimous direction to the
Board—some were surprised;most were not. When the final vote came there were stilt
two `no'votes:Peg Pinard and Tony Ferraro(AG).
Peg's vote was not a surprise. Most of you know that Peg was SLO mayor at the time
our'94 General Plan went through all ofthe hoops for adoption. She well remembers an
of the blood, sweat and tears that it took to achieve that adoption and she remains proud
of how our GP represents an of the compromises that were made to achieve a balance
between social, economic and environmental concerns, and consequently remains defiant
in the face of a State mandate that fails to recognize these essential GP interrelationships.
Tony's vote, on the other hand, came as a surprise. You will remember that during our
discussion on how you wanted me to vote,we noted that Arroyo Grande had sent a letter
to HCD indicating that they didn't like the process nor their assigned number ofhousing
units, but that they would do their best to achieve their assigned goal It turns out that
unlike our meeting,the AG Council did not have a `final'meeting on the subject and
Tony was left to vote as he saw best. That was the surprise as the AG letter went to HCD
over Tony's signature. So the vote went 9-2=1 (Shirley had to leave before the vote.)
When the smoke cleared(because most everyone remains smoking mad at the State
process),five ofthe Board volunteered to serve on an ad hoc committee to determine

how we can work with the LCC, CSAC, and others to change legislation before the next
go around. The vohmteers were:Sups Bianchi,Pinard and Ryan;and City reps Ferraro
and Mecham.
Tmie was exhausted before the agenda could be completed. Two items(13-1 and I-2)
were continued One deals with transit issues which our Public Works people are
interested in and the second deals with a COG staff definition(10+/-pages)of'Smart
Growth." (Ed note: if it takes 10 pages to define `smart growth,' we'll never get it.)

Her concern is two-fold: 1) are these folks legal? 2)This will further erode R-1 zones. She is
opposed to more home-based businesses in town.
