Mayor Harmon and Council Members,
I was happy to hear that the Council is forming a committee to look into compensation possibilities for Council
Members, and I would love to serve on that committee. It's a privilege to live in SLO at a time when our City Council
includes young professionals and parents, but we need some structural change if those groups are going to continue to
be well represented in leadership roles.
As a former planning commissioner and longtime community advocate, I understand the Council's duties, the budget
process, and how city staff and Council work together to move the city forward. As a working mom, I have an acute
understanding of the time and resource barriers that deter many residents from participating in government.
I look forward to exploring options that would make it easier for SLO’s leadership community to resemble the
community at large. Thanks for your consideration.
Kim Bisheff
