Robert Strong felt that the preliminary estimate by his staff showed a need
to double the existing parking facilities, which could run into millions
of dollars, and should be developed by community interests.
Mayor Schwartz also felt that a study of parking should include not only
customer parking but should also include parking facilities for County and
City employees, but also for new cultural facilities not yet on line.
Mayor Schwartz was authorized to prepare a letter to the Board.of Supervisors
asking that they delete from their C.I.P. and C.I.P.C.A.C. report any reference
to removing County facilities from San Luis Obispo until a cost /benefit study
had been completed and further that the City Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo supported the County concept of regional administrative centers
throughout the County.
Councilman Gurnee objected to the action of the staff in writing letters and
reports purporting to be City Council Policy, which it was not. He also felt
that the staff should keep the Council more aware of what they were doing in
their relationships with other governmental agancies. He also objected
to the City expending funds to make studies for cost /benefit'studies for
County facilities to the detriment of the City's program, and he felt
there should be support from "downtown property owners and businessmen in
keeping County facilities in downtown San Luis Obispo if they felt they
were that important.
There being no further discussion on this matter, the Mayor was authorized
to prepare the letter and the meeting adjourned to Executive Session.
3. The meeting reconvened to regular session and adjourned to Friday,
June 27, 1975 at noon.
