(fit' F J February 1, 1993 RE: February 6, 1993, Goal Setting Session: Allocation of funds to hire an Economic Stabilization Director It has become apparent that the City of San Luis Obispo is much more economically dependent on the state economy than originally believed. It is also apparent that local economic troubles will not end with the end of the recession because of the fundamental demographic changes and economic restructuring that is occurring in California. This creates an uncertain future for the City of San Luis Obispo and the local economy. In order to improve the economic health of our community, the city's base of employment must be secured and broadened. The City of San Luis Obispo needs to take a pro - active role in diversifying its local economy in order to become more self sufficient and not be as directly affected by state wide budget problems. The city's primary focus on the preservation and expansion of local private sector employment opportunities can accomplish this goal This goal is important because a strong diversified job base will: • Lower existing housing vg acancv rates and stabilize housing values thereby increasing property tax revenues.(currently there are approximately 500 residential units for sale in the San Luis Obispo area) • Stabilize local economies thereby helping generate sales tax revenues for the city. • Increase revenue opportunities, in general, for the city. • Lower unemployment thereby reducing the need for increased government spending on social service costs and programs. We believe that this goal can best be accomplished through the selection and appointment of a highly qualified Economic Stabilization Director, to work with a commission of local business leaders. Aside from the obvious benefit of increased local job opportunities, an Economic Stabilization Director would provide the City of San Luis Obispo with the following direct benefits: 1) Provide immediate professional input on the economic impact of city policies and regulations on local business and economy. 2) Become a direct liaison between city government and the business community to help facilitate business retention and expansion 3) Identify sources of funding and package applications for grants and loans to finance public and private sector projects. 4) Facilitate the approval process for companies and projects that are consistent with the city's overall economic development strategy. We recommend that a workshop (coordinated by the undersigned) be conducted within 30 days for members of major community business organizations, city council and staff to determine the most effective and efficient programs to achieve our goals, including development of funding options such as the existing "Economic Stabilization" category of the city budget. We respectfully request that you make this important economic investment in our community and we offer our help and support.

The T -T does not report the large number of street parties that degrade into drunken brawls. Two students in such a brawl were recently stabbed by another student - could have been fatalities. We need one car patrolling in the south end of town and one car in the north end ( Murray, Meinicke and Highland). Such parties could be dispersed before requiring large numbers of regular patrol cars and sworn officers. The extra cost could be donated by the two beer distributors in south county and local liquor stores. The City could donate an additional car as there are cutbacks. (3) Keeping our zoning officer is another must if our neighborhoods are not to become slums. With the proposed maintenance ordinance (current ordinance is either nonexistent, outdated and /or unenforceable) revenues will be brought in that will pay for this service. Part -time unpaid volunteers can perform the mundane work as other cities do (San Diego, Fountain Valley, and others). We could have a small pool working for zoning, fire and police departments. We must look to creative solutions as other cities are doing. (4) Cut salaried employees up to 8.5% to save vital positions. (5) Charge regular fare for the trolley and extend the route to motel district.

We are grateful to the City of San Luis Obispo for the fine swim center facility at Sinsheimer Park KIhich we use on a regular, year -round basis. The "Jazzerbubbles" class in particular has been of major benefit. I know we speak not only for ourselves, but also for the participants of that water aerobics class, that this has become an indispensable part of our exercise routine without which we could not effectively keep in shape.
