SUBJECT: Downtown Association Board Meeting
Following are highlights of the Downtown Association Board meeting of 10/10/00:
• The Board took no position regarding the binding arbitration issue.
• The Higuera Street Bridge project was discussed in detail with the Board deciding to
write a letter about the best way to move forward on the project; putting the project on
hold and finishing the street improvements along Higuera and Osos appears to be the best
action now. A question arose over the procedures for leasing expanded sidewalk area for
restaurant seating.
• The new Downtown Magazine is moving forward; twenty pages of ads have been sold.
• • Taste of SLO event was a financial success, with half the proceeds going to the design
committee for downtown enhancements, and the other half for downtown promotions.
Tickets will be distributed differently next year, with long-tern sponsors receiving the
first opportunity to purchase tickets. Ticket price will be $90 next year.
• The invitation schedule will be as follows:
On February 1: First invitations to founders—30 days to purchase tickets
On March 1: Second set invitations to three-year participants
On April 1: Ad to be run if any tickets remain
• The Friends of Prado fund-raising will be focused on achievements at the Center. There
is $200,000 in the account.
• The Spare Change program is in question. There are only six jars out (I have one of
them). There is concern about how to improve and expand the program. More
panhandling is being noticed downtown. The jars were hopefully to cause people to
donate to the Center rather than give to the panhandlers.
• The Parking&Access Committee asked when the Marsh Street garage will go forward?
Dave Romero and I thought it would be next spring.

• The strategic plan moves forward. A survey of Downtown Assn. Members will be taken
mid-October. Consultants will be in town in November. The two community surveys
will be in the form of a town hall meeting (November 8`h and mid-January). •
• Concern was expressed over the cleanliness and condition of trashcans and recycling
binds. Who will keep the art bases clean? The Downtown Assn. will look into this.

SLOCOG—At the SLOCOG meeting of 10/4/00, the Board received a report from Caltrans
regarding construction projects in the district. Those of particular interest to San Luis Obispo
include:
1) Widening of the bridge on Highway 101 at San Luis Creek. This is near Avila Hot
Springs and is expected to be completed by 7/01.
2) The southbound auxiliary lane between Marsh Street and Madonna Road is
essentially completed and should relieve a substantial amount of congestion on South
Higuera.
3) The Cuesta Grade project is on schedule and is expected to be completed by fall 2003.
4) There will be asphalt overlay contracts awarded this fall for Highway 101 between
Los Osos Valley Road and Madonna Road. This should be completed prior to winter.
The Board approved the Regional Transportation Impact Program (RTIP) and the State
Transportation Improvement Program(STIP) for a total of$14.2 million. Included in the
approval are a number of projects for San Luis Obispo as shown in the attachment. These
amount to $1.8 million within the city and $513,000 in the county near the city.
The Board received a report on the equity expenditure of these funds for each of the cities during
the 1990-2000 period. With 16.74% of the County population, our city received 18% of the
funds. Therefore in our case, equity has been achieved.
Of special note, the final Council action regarding the Orcutt Road grade separation allowed this
$600,000 to stay in the program.
The Board received a report that the 2000 Census Count Program for SLO County achieved an
80% response rate, far exceeding the 72% response rate for the state as a whole. This will mean
many millions of dollars in federal subsidies-for our City over the next ten years. All funds
budgeted by cities were not expended, and San Luis Obispo will receive $3,800 not expended for
the program.
SLORTA —SLORTA is still in the process of attempting to recruit a new manager for the
Regional Transit Authority. We have agreed to hire a headhunter to recruit and present qualified
candidates, however, the process will take several months. RECEIVED
