CITY
Thank you for your input. Council voted 5 -0 to affirm staff recommendation to bring back draft ordinances addressing
this problem. I am including our city clerk in this email, so that your message is included in agenda correspondence on
this item. I hope you will be able to attend the council meeting when the draft ordinances come back for consideration.
All the best,

Mayor Marx and Council,
I was unable to attend Tues. 511 council meeting. I would like to share the 3 points I would have made at the
meeting. I apologize if this is a long email.
1. I support the city enforcing it's codes concerning people living in vehicles. If you allow people to live in
their cars, how can you then enforce the codes that don't allow people to live in an illegally converted garage or
better yet- how can you fine people for parking their RV in their driveway if it's ok for an RV to be parked on
the street if it is occupied?
2. The city and all it's residents should remember that the issue of homelessness is a very complicated issue
and that being compassionate does not mean that we should be a doormat or a pushover. There's is a small
group of people in every strata of society who will do their best to take advantage of any situation. Please, don't
let your noble and humane tendencies blind you.
3. We are a small town. We simply cannot afford to make our town a place where people from all over the
country come to get back on their feet. We will be inundated. We already have a reputation of being very
generous among people on the road.
I think we have made a good start with the parking program at the Prado Day Center and should stay along
those lines.
Thank You,
Meg Evans
San Luis Obispo
