CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Plans and Specifications for Mission Plaza Amphitheater
Improvements, City Plan No. M-04Y; Authorize staff to advertise for
bids and- authorize the CAO to award a contract within the Engineer's

BACKGROUND:
This project was approved in the FY 1987-89 Financial Plan at an
estimated cost of $55 ,000. During the February 9 , 1988 review of CIP
projects, the Council reviewed the site and a preliminary -sketch for
improvements to the Amphitheater in Mission Plaza. The project is of
special interest because of its location in the Mission Plaza. The
main concern expressed at that time was that the improvements should
be as inobtrusive as possible.
Landplans Plus was selected from four landscape architecture firms
that submitted proposals on this project. The architect was
commissioned to propose a low impact amphitheater that would be
functional and would minimize maintenance.
Fran Dukehart has been a prime mover in generating interest and
support for the project. She, through an Ad Hoc Organization named
Friends of the Mission Plaza Amphitheater, has contacted community
service clubs and user groups. An enthusiastic response for these
improvements has been given by these groups.
Concurrences
The Parks and Recreation Commission supported this project.
Architectural Review Commission approval was granted on August 1 ,
1988. The downtown San Luis Obispo Business Improvement Association
voted to support the project.

Hon. Mayor and Members of the City Council ,
At it's last meeting, the BIA-Board of Directors voted unanimously
to support plans for the improvement of the Amphetheater area of .
Mission Plaza.
The board acted upon the recommendation, made earlier, of its
beautification sub-committee after it had reviewed the plans in
detail.
It is the belief of all of us on the Beautification Committee
p and the BIA Board that the modest improvements being proposed
will contribute positively to the cultural and artistic life of
the Plaza as well as provide an opportunity for civic groups to
combine their resources•with those of the city to accomplish a
worthwhile goal.
Sincerely,
Pierre Rademaker
Chairman, Beautification Committee,
