properties, formerly the Pacific Coast Railway easement, and working with County Supervisors 23
on the De Anza Trail through Edna valley, that could form the proposed link. 24

Agenda Item #1: City Budget Goals - draft BAC recommendations 33
34
Ms. Mandeville recapped the City budget process, including discussion on long-term policies 35
and plans, linking goals and resources, and goal setting. BAC recommendations and related 36
Council actions for fiscal cycles 2009-11 and 2011-13 were presented and discussed. 37
38
The following goal recommendation suggestions were presented to the BAC for consideration. 39
40
• Maintain staffing at current levels and increase as fiscal health improves 41
• Railroad Safety Trail (RRST) continuation (Taft to Pepper) 42
• $25,000 annually for miscellaneous bikeway facility improvements, including Bike Rodeo 43
funding 44
• $7,500 annually for bicycling education 45
46
CM Weisenthal agreed that staff position funding was critical. 47
48
Public Comment: 49
Eric Meyer discussed the Top 10 Ranked Projects from the Bicycle Transportation Plan. He 50
strongly felt a major City goal should specifically be bike infrastructure. He noted multiple lesser-51
Attachment 1: Pg. 1
ranked/less expensive projects could be funded for less than $500K and that pushing multiple, 1
lower-cost projects would be beneficial even if they individually have a lower impact. 2
3
John Dinunzio, County resident, discussed looking at true costs of the project outlook, as costs 4
could have risen since past determinations. He also suggested identifying projects whose actual 5
costs might be lower due to being involved in a larger overall project. 6
7
Ms. Mandeville discussed some “piggy-backing” projects that mitigate higher costs. 8
9
Dan Rivoire, San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition Executive Director, agreed with Mr. 10
Meyer about focusing on the lower cost projects having a potentially large impact with a lesser 11
cost than some higher profile projects. He noted the inclusion of bike lanes under the Johnson 12
Ave RR bridge as an example of a low cost project (due to being included in a larger project) 13
that had a big impact on bicycling. He felt the Bicycle Coalition would support the approach of 14
funding lower ranked, less expensive projects to get more project volume accomplished versus 15
high- profile, high-ranking projects. 16
17
The public comment period was closed. 18
19
There was general Committee discussion about the “bang for the buck” approach of balancing 20
projects and budget, and also doing portions of projects. There was a strong commitment to 21
projects that provide connectivity throughout the City. 22
23
CM Weisenthal supported completion of the Railroad Safety Trail (Orcutt to Cal Poly) as it 24
would have a significant impact on improving commuting. He favored finishing projects that 25
would accommodate cross-town commuting. 26
27
CM Winn agreed that connecting existing trail segments should be a priority. 28
29
CM Woolf wanted to focus on bike boulevards for overall City impact. 30
31
The Committee agreed that the FY 2011-13 goal recommendations, Attachment 4, could be 32
used for FY 2013-15 with the following revisions: 33
• The Railroad Safety Trail section to focus on completion should be Taft to Pepper. 34
• Staff positions/hours should be increased as fiscal health improves. 35
• Add a priority focus on small project implementation and integration of them in larger 36
projects for cost-efficiency and to maximize impact. 37
• Bike boulevards, such as Islay, Toro, Cerro Romauldo, Broad St., and Beach/King, should 38
be considered as they also maximize impact. 39
40
CM Woolf moved to direct staff to draft language per Committee discussion and forward to the 41
Finance Department. CM Machado seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 42

INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW
As discussed below, this document represents advisory body goal recommendations to the
Council for 2013-15, which are presented alphabetically by advisory body.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the City’s two-year budget process is to link what we want to accomplish for the
community over the next two years with the resources available to do so. Linking goals with
resources requires a budget process that identifies key objectives at the very beginning of the
process: setting goals and priorities should drive the budget process, not follow it. For this
reason, Council goal-setting is the first step in the City’s budget process. Council advisory bodies
play an important part in this process by providing the Council with their goal recommendations.
REVIEW PROCESS
Council advisory bodies received the attached consolidated listing of all recommended draft
advisory body goals on November 14, 2012. This provides advisory bodies with an early
opportunity to review what other advisory bodies see as high community priorities; and while not
required, it is also an opportunity to revise goals in light of these if they want to do so.
Under this approach, each advisory body determines for themselves if a formal second review is
desirable. In this case, any revisions are due to the Department of Finance & Information
Technology by December 14, 2012. The Council will then receive the final report with all
advisory body recommendations before they begin the goal-setting process in January 2013.

a. Implement three City gateway improvements.
b. Expand and improve Mission Plaza to the Broad Street dogleg.
c. Expand and improve facilities along the downtown creek-walk.
d. Implement pedestrian plaza in front of Government Center on Monterey Street.
2. Alternative Transportation Incentives:
Encourage using in-lieu parking fees and other transportation revenue sources for the
development of bicycle circulation and improvements and encourage the development of
spaces in conventional parking lots and structures to accommodate scooters and other
alternative transportation vehicles.
3. Downtown Beautification & Maintenance:
a. Provide funding for ongoing maintenance activities like shrub and flower planting in
landscaped areas and the steam cleaning of sidewalks to improve the appearance of the
downtown.
b. Expand the uniform streetscape improvements to other areas.
Why It’s Important
a. Improves citizens’ enjoyment of community.
b. Provides a diversity of experiences.
c. Promotes economic distribution throughout the downtown core.
d. Makes downtown an attractive environment to encourage mixed-use developments.
How to Make it Happen
a. Encourage public-private partnerships with the Downtown Association and individual
businesses to take on the responsibility of downtown maintenance.
b. Emphasize low-cost improvements over costly capital projects.

At the regular hearing on October 22, 2012, the Cultural Heritage Committee suggested the
following goals for FY 2013-2015:
1) With the assistance of a consultant, complete the Historic Context Statement and, as time
and resources are available, consider updates to the Historic Preservation Program
Guidelines to incorporate the context statement.
2) Continue historic resource survey efforts
3) Examine boundaries of existing historic districts (following completion of context
statement) to determine if amendments are needed.
4) Focus efforts on the preservation of the La Loma adobe and seek grants and grass roots
efforts to support this effort. Assign this effort to a specific City department outside of
administration such as Community Development or Natural Resources.

HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION
- 7 -
The Human Relations Commission (HRC) makes recommendations to the City Council and staff
on how to best address social concerns and human needs in San Luis Obispo. The HRC serves
as a conduit for input from community members and social service organizations and has the
opportunity to encourage cooperation and collaboration between nonprofit agencies and city
departments.
Why:
A community’s moral value is determined by how it treats its most vulnerable members.
Therefore, the HRC recommends to the Council that the support of basic human needs be
established as a major city goal for 2013-15.
What:
Although there are many worthwhile needs such as senior services, hunger prevention, support
for youth at risk and others, given the current fiscal constraints we encourage the city to focus on
homeless prevention, supportive services and transitional housing.
Homeless Prevention and Transition Plan
Continue to support a long-term, comprehensive, proactive, sustainable program that addresses
homelessness and focuses on transitioning children, families and individuals out of
homelessness.
How:
1. Continue to work with the County and other local municipalities in implementing the San
Luis Obispo Countywide 10-year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness.
2. Support the development of a comprehensive homeless services facility that includes the
implementation of a Good Neighbor Plan and requires case management enrollment.
3. Balance needs of the homeless population and neighborhood wellness e.g. expanded safe
parking program, transitional programs, meals, etc.
4. Explore ways to increase the affordable and transitional housing inventory using creative
financing, master leasing, and purchase programs.
5. Increase the Grants in Aid budget and General Fund support.

JACK HOUSE COMMITTEE
- 8 -
1) Gazebo restoration. The Gazebo is an important landmark element in the Jack House
Gardens, but has been classified as being in questionable condition by the Department of Public
Works. Parks and Recreation is working in conjunction with Public Works to submit a CIP for
Gazebo Restoration in the upcoming fiscal cycle.
2) Annual outdoor maintenance. To passer-byers and visitors alike, the house appears dirty and
dingy on the outside. The Committee would like to see that it receive an annual cleaning of dirt
and debris, including the fence that lines Marsh Street before wedding season begins in April. In
addition to the annual clean, the house should be painted on an 8-year cycle.
3) Buggy Shed makeover and updating for public use. The Buggy Shed is an integral part of
the Jack House Gardens. Several years ago it had a seismic structural upgrade which made it safe
for public use. With minimal funding and anticipated volunteer work the front half of the facility
can be open to the public as a display space for historic artifacts and/or a small meeting facility.
The back half of the facility will remain a storage space for tables and chairs used in the
Gardens.
4) Bay Window restoration and elevator shaft removal. The bay window on the south side of
the house used to serve the first floor dining room and the second floor master bedroom. The bay
window was removed and replaced with an exterior elevator shaft to serve the resident at the
time. Removing the elevator shaft and restoring the bay window would restore the south side of
the house to its original charm and grace. It would also restore the missing south light quality to
the dining room and master bedroom. Hopefully some of the funding of this restoration could be
provided for through the recent trust endowment for Jack House restoration projects.

Attachment 2, pg.14
PROMOTIONAL COORDINATING COMMITTEE
- 13 -
The PCC had a lively discussion during its October 2012 regular meeting regarding goal setting
for the 2013-15 Financial Plan. Consistent with its assigned role, the adopted goals concentrate
on improvements and enhancements that would make the City of San Luis Obispo an even better
place to reside and visit. The PCC did not weigh the goals since the members felt that they were
equally important.
Goals
Beautification
Concentrate on median beautification and create an “Adopt a Median” program.
Include all business districts (Railroad, Old Town, China Town) in beautification
instead of concentrating solely on Downtown.
Create signage for bicycle trails with a distinct look so they visually link together.
Utilize green paint for street marking of bike lane.
Enhance and increase capacity, awareness, and information about all modes of public
transportations in and around San Luis Obispo.
Support collaboration with local cultural, recreational and competitive sports events to
drive visitors to San Luis Obispo.
Establish a process to make event organization and permitting easy, cost effective, and
user friendly. As a City embrace and facilitate events as much as possible.
Install proper pedestrian lighting on residential and perimeter streets to increase safety.
Consider implementing an “Adopt a Street Light” program for this purpose.
Finish the build-out of the directional wayfinding program.
Attachment 2, pg.15
TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BOARD
- 14 -
The Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) board reviewed its 2011-13 goals and felt
that they were still valid. The board recommended some updates and additions and the members
hope that some of the goals will make it into the 2013-15 work program to improve the visitor
experience in San Luis Obispo. The TBID board did not weigh its goals, keeping them all
equally important.
Goals
San Luis Obispo Events
Establish a process to make event organization and permitting easy, cost effective, and
user friendly. As a City embrace and facilitate events as much as possible.
SLO Airport
Support the San Luis Obispo Airport in its efforts to keep airline services in town and
assist with marketing efforts to bring visitors to San Luis Obispo by plane. Encourage the
upgrade of the arrival area in the airport as well as the expansion of the regional airport.
Establish a City shuttle service to outer areas (LOVR, Madonna, Airport) as well as the
train station to facilitate visits to Downtown San Luis Obispo.
Increase funding for the Promotional Coordinating Committee in its efforts to promote
cultural, recreational, and social events that bring and keep tourists in San Luis Obispo.
Beautification of City Gateways and the City’s downtown core.
Enhance security relative to transient populations throughout the City so residents and
tourists can feel safe while enjoying activities in San Luis Obispo.
Increase emphasis on completion of the Bob Jones bike path as a connection between
San Luis Obispo and the beach.

ADVISORY BODY ROLE IN THE BUDGET PROCESS

PURPOSE OF THE CITY’S BUDGET
The City has adopted a number of long term goals
and plans – General Plan, Water and Sewer Master
Plans, Source Reduction, Recycling & Hazardous
Materials Plans, Pavement Management Plan, Short
Range Transit Plan, Downtown Access and Parking
Plan, Waterways Management Plan, Neighborhood
Traffic Management Program, Bicycle Plan, Public
Art Policy, Conceptual Physical Plan for the City’s
Center and Facilities Master Plan.
The two-year Financial Plan is the key tool for
programming implementation of these goals, plans
and policies by allocating the resources necessary
to do so.
This requires a budget process that:
Clearly sets Major City Goals and Other
Important Objectives.
Establishes reasonable timeframes and
organizational responsibility for achieving them.
Allocates resources for programs and projects.
FINANCIAL PLAN FEATURES
Goal-Driven
Policy-Based
Multi-Year
Highly-Automated, Rigorous, Technically
Sound
COUNCIL GOAL-SETTING
First Step in the Budget Process. Linking goals
with resources requires a budget process that
identifies key objectives at the very beginning of
the process. Setting goals and priorities should
drive the budget process, not follow it. The
Council will be involved in five major steps
related to goal development.
FIVE-STEP PROCESS FOR 2013-15
Setting the Table: November 13, 2012. Review
the status of the General Plan programs, current
Major City Goals, long-term capital improvement
plan, and general fiscal outlook, including the results
of the General Fund Five-Year Fiscal Forecast.
Budget Foundation: December 18, 2012.
Finalize plans for the goal-setting process, review
fiscal policies, present audited financial results for
2011-12.
Community Forum: January 8, 2013.
Consider candidate goals from Council advisory
bodies, community groups and interested
individuals.
Council Goal-Setting Workshop: January 26,
2013. Discuss candidate goals presented at January
workshop; discuss Council member goals; and
prioritize and set Major City Goals for 2013-15.
Major City Goal Work Programs: April 9,
2013. Conceptually approve detailed work
programs for Major City Goals and set strategic
budget direction for 2013-15.
ADVISORY BODY ROLE
By providing the Council with their goal
recommendations, advisory bodies play a very
important part in this process.
Council goals, by their nature, tend to be
broader in scope than those developed by
advisory bodies. In your recommendations to
the Council, please consider what you believe
would be appropriate City goals, both from the
perspective of your advisory body’s purpose, as
well as any perceived community-wide concerns
and needs.
Council advisory bodies will receive a consolidated
listing of all recommended advisory body goals by
November 14, 2012. This provides advisory bodies
with an early opportunity to review what other
advisory bodies see as high community priorities.
While not required, it is also an opportunity to revise
goals if desired. The Council will receive the final
report with all advisory body recommendations
before they begin the goal-setting process in January
2013.
