Subject: More than an ordinance smells around here.
To: San Luis Obispo City Council
I wish to exercise my citizen right to call for the proposed smell ordinance be put before the citizens of
San Luis Obispo as an election item for voter approval. This is ordinance is at best hard to enforce
and prone abuse under color of authority. It is an end run around the coming change in the marijuana
laws and is a mean spirited way of harassing what is now legal. This city has a lot better things to do
besides putting its corporate nose where it doesn't belong.
The proposed ordinance came before council as a last item of business when there were only about
half a dozen in the audience and itself seems to have been timed to slide it past the notice of the
public when few were there to notice. Once again the gang of three are pushing an unpopular
ordinance against the popular wishes of the town's citizens.
Also it should be noted that old business of such a contraversal ordinance is once again being
pushed through the second reading of an ordinance without the benifit of an actual second
reading. This is an example of an ordinance that needed reworking at best and been modified being
slipped past the citizens without that second reading. This is an abuse of the puplic hearing process
to not give the second review, especially when it was timed the first time last when few were there to
notice. I believe a person who was snared in this silly ordinance would have legal recourse to
challenge it for the underhanded method of sliding it past under the public's noses when they weren't
looking and tonight it will probably not get any discussion.
Speaking of discussion. This is a citizen request to pull the smelly ordinance for further diacussion
and it be handled as a seperate business item, old business, for a vote as it so belongs. Citizens
have a right to request that a concent item be separated for discussion and voting as it is stated in
print in the actual agenda. I have been trying all year to get new ordinances separated from the other
consent items for their "second reading" and the council seems intent to not follow its own rules in
these matters.
