Subject: Business Item 1 SUBJECT: PALM NIPOMO PARKING STRUCTURE
Dear Mayor and Council members,
The continued forging ahead with a parking structure where future demand is very uncertain would make a great
case study in decision theory.
Do you really believe that Palm Nipomo is the best location for the development of the City's next parking garage ?,
Does staff actually believe it, or are they unwilling to speak up and say this is the wrong location ?. Does the
Downtown Association or the Chamber of Commerce actually believe this it the best location or are they willing to
take whatever is given to them. Basically better something then maybe nothing.
The decision making that has gotten the City to this place in time all centers around the unwillingness to use
eminent domain if necessary to purchase the Well Fargo property on the corner of Nipomo and Pacific. I don't why
the City is so averse eminent domain.
If at tomorrow night's meeting you were to ask the audience which location is preferable by a show of hands I think
you know what the result would be, so why is this City continuing down a process that they shouldn't be continuing
down ?.
This reminds me of the great scene from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles where Steve Martin and John Candy are
driving down the freeway and a driver is trying to get their attention and John Candy keeps ignoring him until Steve
Martin finally rolls down their window and the other driver yells, "You're Going the Wrong Way ".
Sincerely,
Brett Cross
