AMMEftoCOUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER:
FROM: John Dunn, City Administrative Officer •
Prepared By: Alison Lloyd, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Consideration of a request by the San Luis Obispo Area
Coordinating Council to support the creation of a Coastal State
Senate and Congressional District.
CAO RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a
letter on behalf of the City Council in support of the creation of
a Coastal State Senate and Congressional District
DISCUSSION:
The City has received a request from the San Luis Obispo Area
Coordinating Council to support the creation of a Coastal State
Senate and Congressional District which would group San Luis Obispo
together with only other counties of similar interests and
concerns. Currently, San Luis Obispo is included in the 14th State
Senatorial District and is divided between the 16th and 20th
Congressional Districts. The 14th State Senatorial District
includes Madera, Mariposa, and Merced Counties, as well as portions
of Fresno, Monterey, and Santa Barbara Counties. The 20th
Congressional District includes includes most of Kern County, and
the 16th District includes San Benito and Monterey Counties, and
a portion of Santa Cruz County.
Since the majority of coastal counties are concerned with problems
which lend themselves to common solutions (e.g. , coastal
development, transportation planning, and regional growth
management) , to adequately address these concerns, new State and
Congressional Districts which have common geographic interests are
needed. The new Districts should include San Luis Obispo, Monterey,
and Santa Barbara Counties but exlude areas in the San Joaquin
Valley. Restructuring both the State Senate and Congressional
Districts in this way will help to guarantee that the shared
concerns and interests of the residents in these areas are
adequately recognized and addressed.
As required following completion of the population census, the
State Legislature is in the process of redistricting the state.
San Luis Obispo County therefore, now has a unique opportunity to
seek more effective State and Federal representation. To
demonstrate support for the creation of a Coastal State Senate and
Congressional District, the San Luis Obispo Area Coordinating
Council has requested that the City send a letter to Governor
Wilson and Senator Milton Marks. Copies of the letter will also
be provided to the City's legislative delegation.

As required following coupletion of the ceimm, the State Legislature is
now in the process of redistricting the State. The San Luis Obispo region
now has a unique opportmuty to seek more effective state and Federal
rotation. The Board of Supervisors has already sent a letter to
State Senator Milton Marks asking that our County'be grouped together only
with other counties of similar interests and concerns' in both State Senate
and. Congressional Districts. A draft letter in this regard frm the Area
Council is attached.to this staff report.

Staff: Review & C=v ent; AuthcriZe President to Sign Letter
DISCUSSION
Attached is . a draft letter to be sent to Senator Milton Marks identifying
how State Senate and Congressional Districts should be drawn to be in the
best interest of San Luis Obispo County. The major issue is the desire to
be grouped only with other coastal counties, primarily Santa Barbara and
M=*zreY, rather than with areas in the San Joaquin Valley. It may be
desirable to send a similiar letter to Governor Wilson, since he has
established his own azsaaissicn to help guide the redistricting process.

RE: Creation of a Coastal State Senate and Congressional District
Dear Governor Wilson:
I am writing on behalf of the City of San Luis Obispo to encourage your support for
including common geographic interests as a factor for revising our State Senate and
Congressional Districts. At the present time, San Luis Obispo County is included with
areas in the San Joaquin Valley that are concerned with issues and problems
significantly different than ours. Our County is part of Senator Maddy's 14th State
Senatorial District, which includes Madera, Mariposa, and Merced Counties, as well as
portions of Fresno, Monterey, and Santa Barbara Counties. It is also divided between
two Congressional Districts: William Thomas' 20th District, which includes most of Kern
County, and Leon Panetta's 16th District, which includes San Benito and Monterey
Counties, and a portion of Santa Cruz County.
Most coastal counties are concerned with problems which lend themselves to common
solutions (e.g., coastal development, transportation planning, and regional growth
management). To adequately address these concerns, the creation of new State and
Congressional Districts are needed. The new Districts should include Santa Barbara
and Monterey Counties, but exclude the San Joaquin Valley. Restructuring both the
State Senate and Congressional Districts in this way will help to guarantee that the
concerns and interests shared by the residents of these areas are adequately
recognized and addressed. We strongly urge that actions be taken to include San Luis
Obispo County with other counties of similar geographic interests in future State Senate
and Congressional Districts.
Thank you very much for your consideration of this important issue.
Sincerely,
Ron Dunin
Mayor
