Dear Mayor Marks and Council Persons,
COUNCIL MEETING:
ITEM NO.:
JUN 05 2015
I am writing to ask you to reconsider the lack of funding in this budget cycle for the removal of the elevator at the Jack
House. This request was postponed at the last budget cycle and I would ask that it not be postponed again. The plans
and estimates are in place and work could begin soon, at a relatively minor cost to the city, less that $50.000. Private
funding is available to complete the interior work once the city does the exterior work. Use of the Jack House and the
grounds is increasing and it would be nice to return the house to it's original elegance.
I have been a Jack House member as part of my participation in the Parks and Rec Commission for the past 3 years. I
have grown to appreciate the house and it's historical relevance for the city of San Luis Obispo in that time. I am still
concerned about the number of residents who have never visited the house. As the Jack House committee works to
expose the community to part of its historical base, it is increasingly important that the house be as fine an example of
18th century architecture as possible.
Thank you for reconsidering this request.
Sincerely,
Susan Updegrove
Parks and Rec Commissioner
Jack House Committee member
