Subject: Fw: Agenda item #3-Councilmemembers appointments to Advisory Bodies 1/3/17
Dear Mayor Harmon and Council Member Rivoire,
am very disappointed after viewing your list of liason appointees to Advisory Bodies. Council
Member Carlyn Christenson has been repeatedly verbally abusive and rude to residents and has
been appointed to three key positions. She typically supports "staff recommendations" on projects
and issues which come before the City Council.
The hatchet job done on Lydia Mourenza at the time of her formal ARC Commission confirmation was
disgraceful. This is the kind of treatment she gives to those who dare oppose her opinions. Oddly
enough this entire incident did not even appear in the Council's minutes. She even had the audacity
to chastise and shake her pointing finger at an 87 year old retired professor who dared to speak
about Climate Change and our Urban Forest Guidelines/Tree Preservation. Ms. Christianson even
accused him of "fear -mongering."
Your placement of Ms. Christenson on the three critical Advisory Bodies is tantamount to placing the
fox in the hen house. It does not bode well for the future of San Luis Obispo or for residents' input.
Sincerely,
Cheryl McLean
