Re: Ordinance 1517, San Luis Obispo Tourism Business Improvement District
Dear Council Members:
Our customers and our businesses are compelled to contribute funding for this committee. The
expectation is that each constituent would benefit in fair measure. We regret that these standards
have not been recognized by the Council and do not approve of any continued assessment.
At the time this committee was established, our industry had given its endorsement but stipulated
that any such committee membership would be determined by the constituents and would be
representative of our industry's ownership. The Council has chosen to exclude legitimate
representatives in an irresponsible manner that hurts our community.
We also regret that the marketing of San Luis Obispo is concentrated on upper and upper-mid
level hospitality properties as opposed to economy level, of which our property is a part.
Sincerely,
Robert F. Mueller
