COUNCIL MEETING: O5/ I GI j 2,015
ITEM NO.: S S 1 ^
Sunday, May 17, 2015
Dear Mayor Marx and Members of the Council,
In reading The Tribune article this morning I was surprised to see the following statement on the front
page. I was doubly surprised to see a similar statement on page 22 of the Neighborhood Wellness/
Community Civility Final Report.
"San Luis Obispo has seen a recent drop in noise complaints related to parties,
possibly due to changes suggested by police in 2010 to reduce the number of
allowable warnings to one every six months...." (Emphasis added)
While the statement is factual, it is, also, misleading. On January 19, 2010, one of the amendments to
the noise ordinance that Chief Linden introduced was to reduce the number of allowable warnings to
one every six months. However, after receiving public input and public testimony, the City Council voted
5:0 to change that to one every nine months.
Council said nine months, the ordinance (Ord 1540, 2010) says nine months and the Municipal Code
says nine months (9.12.110 D). It seems proper that all communications the City provides or to which
the City provides input also state nine months. Not doing so can only create unnecessary confusion.
Language in the Civility Final Report must be changed to reflect only City policy, and The Tribune must
be provided with this correction, too.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rowley
