HomeMy WebLinkAbout05-17-2016 Item 13 Directed Giving Campaign - Make change count Meeting Donation Program
Meeting Date: 5/17/2016
FROM: Deanna Cantrell, Chief of Police
Prepared By: Keith Storton, Police Captain
SUBJECT: DIRECTED GIVING CAMPAIGN - MAKE CHANGE COUNT” METER
DONATION PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a permanent continuance of the “Make Change Count” meter donation program.
DISCUSSION
The Directed Giving Campaign Committee, consisting of the City of San Luis Obispo, the San
Luis Obispo Downtown Association and the United Way of San Luis Obispo County, will
conclude its 2-year pilot program of the “Make Change Count” meter donation program. The
program was started in May of 2014.
In January of 2014, Council was notified of the formation and collaboration of the Directed
Giving Campaign, by a Council Memorandum. The collective intent of the committee was to
install specially marked and placed donation meters in the Downtown core as a means to help the
homeless population. The meter donation program was identified as a two year pilot program
with the intent to return to Council at the conclusion of the two years to support a permanent
program if deemed successful.
On February 5, 2014 the Chief of Police presented a status report on th e progress of the meter
donation program with the full support of the Human Relations Commission to move forward
with the two year program.
On May 6, 2014 the Chief of Police provided a presentation to Council with an update about the
meter donation program. This was not an action item; however, the presentation was well
received by Council in support of the program.
In May 2014, seven specially marked and placed “Make Change Count” donation meters were
installed in the downtown core of San Luis Obispo to serve as a means for citizens to provide
either coin or credit card donations to help homeless service efforts within the City of San Luis
Obispo. Sponsorships for each meter were sought by the Directed Giving Campaign Committee
at an expense of $1,000.00 per meter.
In the two years of the pilot program meter sponsorships and donations have earned almost
$13,000.00. Over $8,500.00 in contributions have been distributed to the local homeless service

Packet Pg. 264
support group “The Friends of Prado” with another approximately $3,000.00 in donations to be
donated at the end of April at the conclusion of the pilot program. Additionally, approximately
$1,500.00 has been donated to the local United Way 211 SLO County program, a non-
emergency contact number that connects individuals and families with information and
community resources.
Although the committee is pleased with the amount of donated funds collected, the money is
only a part of the objective. Continual outreach and education is needed to inform the public that
donating money directly to those that panhandle may actually prolong an addiction, impede their
ability to get adequate help or encourage their desire to engage in criminal or adverse behavior
that negatively impacts the community. The donation meters are a visual reminder and one of
many tools that help send this message.
With the success of the pilot program, the Directed Giving Campaign Committee has elected to
continue the program on a permanent basis. The program would continue to operate on a 2-year
cycle where meter sponsorships would be renewed at the conclusion of the 2nd year. Oversite of
the program would be regularly monitored by the Directed Giving Campaign Committee who
meets, at minimum, quarterly. The United Way of San Luis Obispo County would continue to
administer the donated funds and the accumulated donations would be transferred to The Friends
of Prado on intervals as determined by the committee.
Moving forward meter sponsorships would be valued at $1,200.00 with $1,000.00 going directly
to The Friends of Prado and the remaining $200.00 to offset limited marketing expenses and
sponsorship recognition on the meter. All meter donations or other donations on behalf of the
program would go directly to the Friends of Prado.
A Partnership Agreement with Directed Giving Campaign Committee members will be
completed and a program update will be provided to Council every two years.
FISCAL IMPACT
Currently, the City of San Luis Obispo provides routine maintenance on the seven donatio n
meters. Minimal employee time is used as employees tend to the many standard parking meters
that are operated by the City. There are no other fiscal impacts other that the involved City
Departments selecting to use funds to incorporate the donation meters and message into other
communication opportunities.
ALTERNATIVE
Council could vote to discontinue the City’s involvement in the Directed Giving Campaign
Committee and meter donation program.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 3, 2014
TO: Mayor and City Council
VIA: Katie Lichtig, City Manager
VIA: Chief Gesell, Chief of Police
Written by: Keith Storton, Police Captain
Re: Update on Directed Giving Campaign
The purpose of this memorandum is to advise Council as to the status of the Directed
Giving Campaign and Donation Station Meter Project.
In November and December of 2013 the Directed Giving Project Team met to discuss
common goals with an emphasis on developing a Donation Station Meter Program to
help support homeless service efforts and provide community awareness to “change the
culture” about the adverse effects of citizens providing handouts to panhandlers. The
efforts of the committee are consistent with Major City Goals in the area of
Homelessness and Revitalizing Downtown.
The make-up of the project team consists of a diverse group of City employees
representing the Police Department, Public Works, Finance & IT, Community
Development and Parks and Recreation. Community members include representatives
from the Downtown Association and the United Way. The United Way has been
designated as the non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which will manage and distribute
donated funds for homeless service efforts.
Initially the committee included members from Cal Poly University and Cuesta College,
however, after further discussions both opted out of participation in the Meter Donation
Station Program. Both, however, were interested in the educational component of the
Directed Giving Campaign and were willing to circulate information on their campuses
as the committee further develops a marketing strategy.
The Project Team created a Partnership Agreement. The agreement outlines the roles
and responsibilities for each of the participating entities and will act as a guideline as the
Project Team moves forward with Directed Giving opportunities and the Meter Donation
Station Project.

The Project Team reviewed current directed giving efforts. Under the direction of
Community Development, through the City website, a link was created titled “Homeless
Solutions”. This link provides public information related to homelessness in our
community and directs people homeless service opportunities for those in need. It also
provides information on the Directed Giving campaign as well as plans for the
development of the Meter Donation Station Project. Citizens can utilize links on this
page to go directly to the United Way website to provide direct donations.
The Project Team discussed in detail Donation Meters and the logistics with the
implementation and installation of meter heads. Currently the City uses IPS Group Inc.
for our digital parking meters. This company will donate meter heads which will be used
specifically as donation locations. The meters will be placed in heavily pedestrian
traveled areas in the Downtown. They will be marked in such a way that they will be
distinguished as donation sites only and will not be confused with normal parking
meters.
The Project Team has decided to install seven meters ini tially as a pilot program. The
Project Team is currently looking at a variety of areas Downtown and will meet in mid-
January to physically examine these sites to determine the viability of these locations.
Initially, after installation, the meters will be marked and distinguished as donation sites.
Donations placed into the meters (either by card or cash) will be given directly to the
United Way. The Project Team will work with the United Way to identify appropriate
homeless service providers as beneficiaries of these funds. The Project Team has titled
the meter donation project as “Change for Change – Help the Homeless” and will use
this designation as part of the education/marketing process.
Incorporated into the Project T eam plan is an eventual Public Art component. The intent
is to acquire funds to decorate the meters in a significant way. This effort will increase
community awareness, involvement and be consistent with the review and approval
process for all Public Art projects as required by the City.
The Project Team is considering a meter sponsorship program where interested entities
could vie for temporary “ownership” of a meter. Meters could be marked appropriately
with sponsorship recognition and then auctioned again (perhaps a year later) to raise
additional awareness and funds. Funding from this effort can be used to raise money for
the Public Art piece of this effort and/or dona ted to United Way to further support
homeless service needs.
Chief Gesell will be attending Good Morning SLO in January or February to discuss the
sponsorship component as a kick off to this piece of the effort. Included in this
memorandum is a flyer that will be distributed to provide more information about both
the Directed Giving Campaign and the Meter Donation “Change for Change” efforts.

The Project team recently applied for a Community Project Application Grant through
the County Board of Supervisors. If selected these funds could also be used to support
the Public Art project and future public awareness and marketing efforts. We are
awaiting a decision from the County to see if we will be awarded the grant.
The Project Team plans to meet regularly as this project unfolds. It is anticipated the
Project team will soon define meter location sites, develop a meter sponsorship plan
and eventually move into a Public Art process.
