Subject: Damon -Garcia fields 15 2016
L SLO CITY CLERK
To the San Luis Obispo City Council:
am writing today to urge Council to continue to maintain the fields at Damon Garcia. The
recreational opportunity that is available there --playing soccer --is a vital one. Children and adults
alike are benefitting from access to these soccer fields. A decision to stop watering these fields now
would be near-sighted. Sure, we might save a little money in the short term, but we would be making
a choice that would reduce the quality of life for a broad swath of local and regional citizens. And,
ultimately, a future Council will be faced with a more expensive proposition: re-establishing soccer
fields for a community. Soccer is part of who we are. Please vote to continue to maintain Damon
Garcia.
Thank you,
Owen Ranta
