Dear City Council &City Manager&City Attorney,
I am writing in prot�est of the propos�d P�ID by the DowntAwn SLO Association.
As a property owner in this district, my oppos�tion is based on the following reasons:
We own residential property in this proposed district. We can see no benefit at aU for us as a r�sidence
in this Ambassador program. We do not wish to have our residence pointed out to any to�rists for any
reason�
We already are forced t+o have a tourist bus stop in the front of our residence so we se�e al!the tourists
that we need to and we think that this is doing more than our part to encourage tourists in the area.
We take good care of the outside of our prop,erty,regularly sweep sidewalk and have roo need�+�r
anyone else to clean in our area.
Our family has done everything we can to preserve our residence and maintain it so that it laoks
w�lcoming and accornmodating to the area we live in. We do not rent the residence out full tim+e as we
like the benefit af using the residence ours�lves. If casts keep increasing,we wiil be force�to find a f�l!
time renter far the residence in order to pay all the extra fees we are being assessed. Even the capped
$3�0.00,this is just another fee that we are forceri to pay.
The small gro�p of large landowners in our area has farced these fees on us and we��e absolutely no
benefit to us and our residence. If we couid,we would petitian to be remaved from your�listric�, but it
!� !'!?�!!!�l��!'Sr�f)�l�1g tP:�T!NQ�O .^rrJl�l�1lp th�t opti�n.
Please consider thaughtfully as 1 and numerous other property awners in the Downtow�a core strongly
oppose this tax. The�ity is receiving cansiderable financial resaurces from additional Measure G sales
tax, h�tel bed tax,and increas�d property values. The City's c�eanliness in Downto�ern antl other
comm�rtial districts an the city should be paid far with the ct�rrent tax dollars in the g�nera!f�r�d. I
�n��urage you to delay the acceptance of this resolution until you consider other options tha#do not
divide our d�wntown community,the City,and numerous small property owners, Please take s�nne
time,focus on uniting our community, and recognize that small businesses are the backbor�+e o�our
vibrant�conamy and shauld nat be ignc�red.
