SL -0 CITY CLERK
For the attention of City Council
San Luis Obispo carries a large array of responsibilities due to many factors ranging from the fact that it is the county
seat of government to it's status as a a top tourist destination. It is a city in the "limelight".
Having travelled extensively both domestically and abroad specifically for soccer, I can tell you that the city of SLO is an
embarrassment. This comes not from Damon Garcia itself, because it is a truely fantastic facility. The embarrassment
comes from the way it is maintained (neglected or not repaired - sand does not repair grass) and mishandled.
I would liken the situation to a parent with a nice vehicle that required a considerable investment of cash and resources
to obtain. How does this parent justify neglect and ruin of the vehicle to their children? "We can't afford to take care of
our car?"
Remember that many people coming to our city will look and wonder why San Luis Obispo has this nice complex that
isnt well maintained. Please find the resources to properly maintain what should be one of the proud aspects of our city.
Thank you for your consideration and efforts.
Matt Thule
