re: CORRECTION TO PUBLIC RECORD - Planning Commission Hearing, Avila Ranch FEIR
To the City of San Luis Obispo Planning Commissioners:
Please disregard the publicly-posted comment time stamped as received at 9:45 a.m. June 29, 2017 and attributed to
the Los Verdes Parks 1 & 2 neighborhoods. The document included therein, a letter dated June 28, was a draft of a
comment sent to individuals for review, but was not sent to advisorybodies@slocity.org by myself, as the attribution Los
Verdes Parks 1 & 2 Flickinger 2 indicates. City Clerk staff was not able to see what email address this was sent from, and
there was no attached cover letter included as part of the communication that was publicly posted, as is our
neighborhoods’ practice, so they have no idea from whom it came. I’m not sure how it got there, but it was a draft copy
for review and comment prior to finalizing and not meant for public consumption; I will now be sure to mark such drafts
directly on the documents rather than in the cover email to addressees, so that there is no confusion in the future if
someone submits something that becomes attributed to me or our neighborhoods.
The neighborhoods’ ACTUAL comments for consideration were sent via email with a cover letter from my email address,
sarah@flickimc.com, to advisorybodies@slocity.org at 11:56 a.m. June 29, 2017. The correct version includes a cover
note in the email body, a memo attachment and formal letter attachment. The formal letter is dated June 29, 2017 and
incorporates significantly different body text based on video review of last night’s hearing.
It’s my understanding from the City Clerk’s office that despite the issue, the draft document cannot be removed from
the public record and replaced with the correct document, nor given appropriate source attribution. It has to remain in
the public record attributed to our neighborhoods regardless of who submitted it.
Please disregard the Flickinger 2 comment, and instead consider the comment which will likely be posted as Los Verdes
Parks 1 & 2 Flickinger 3 at some point later. As of 2:01 p.m. June 29, 2017, the correct comment was still in the inbox
according to a phone conversation with the City Clerk’s office, and had not yet been posted to the official public record.
Subsequently to the aforementioned comment on behalf the neighborhoods, our family submitted a personal comment
on the project as well, which has nothing to do with any official communication from the neighborhoods. My apologies
for any confusion.
Sincerely,
Los Verdes Park 1 Homeowners’ Association, Inc.
