COMMUNITY PRIORITIES SURVEY
BACKGROUND
Citizen feedback and input is a cornerstone of the City’s budget process and an integral part of the decision
making on Major City Goals.
In addition to encouraging participation in the budget workshops, the community survey asks the City’s
residents to share their priorities for the City to accomplish over the next two years. Additionally, it asks
for feedback on possible program and service adjustment in order to accomplish the goals.
SURVEY DISTRIBUTION
In order to reach as many residents as possible, the City utilizes several outreach methods including:
• Utility invoice inserts
• City website (Open City Hall)
• City public counters
• Press releases/newspaper ads
• Social media/videos
• Outreach to 200 community groups and partners
SURVEY PARTICIPATION
A total of 1,548 online and hard copy survey responses were received by January 16, 2019 (the total
reflected on the Open City Hall page and attached report is slightly different, 1,587 responses, due to an
administrative error, but it did not affect any rankings). It is worth noting that this reflects a 24% increase
in participation compared to the same survey conducted two years ago, when 1245 responses were received
over the same time period. This increase is primarily attributable to increased outreach efforts and use of
the Open City Hall, where survey responses were able to be submitted online. Of the 1,548 responses
received, 492 were submitted via mail and 1,056 were submitted online.
SURVEY RESULTS
It is important to point out that this is not a “scientific survey” or “statistically representative” and as such
caution should be used when interpreting the results. Nonetheless, this has been the historic practice and
the results are useful—especially when viewed in conjunction with the other forms of feedback the Council
will receive in this process—in gaining additional insight into the wishes, views, and concerns of the
community.
The following charts summarize the top themes for each question. Some questions and responses were
“open-ended” and were grouped into themes where possible. These themes help to identify areas for further
consideration and discussion. Additional analysis is available on Open City Hall
(www.slocity.org/opencityhall) and all survey responses are included in this report.
How Does this Compare with Other Surveys?
Two Years Ago. The same survey on priorities was conducted two years ago as part of the 2017-19
Financial Plan. The results are similar, but several new themes emerged such as climate action and
downtown vitality.

Introduction
Every two years, the City establishes the top priorities to make San Luis Obispo an even better place to live, work and
play. The City Council then matches the resources to achieve these priorities through adopting the budget in June. This
sets the City’s course of action for the next two years and helps the City to continue to provide the exceptional services
and programs the community cherishes.
The City anticipates entering the 2015-2017 budget planning process in better financial shape than two years ago. Some
revenue sources have rebounded, budgets have been trimmed and the City has taken steps to reduce costs. All of these
actions have helped keep the City financially healthy, even in a time of the “Great Recession.” However, other economic
uncertainties linger with the State and Federal budgets, the City’s budget is still tight, and we face an ongoing need to
reinvest in streets, bridges, technology, vehicles and facilities. All of these may lead to potentially complex budget
decisions. So regardless of the specific fiscal circumstances, it is critical that we have an effective process for setting the
most important, highest priority things for the City to do in the next two years. That’s where you can help!
Share Your Thoughts on the City’s Priorities!
This survey is your opportunity to tell the City:
* What issues are important to the community?
* What priorities should the City focus on during the next two years?
* How might the City adjust other service needs to accomplish these priorities?
The City Council needs to know your thoughts on what the community’s priorities should be so that available resources
can be best allocated to achieve them. Now it’s time for you to share your ideas for 2015-2017 priorities.
The City needs the help of the community in two important ways:
1. Fill out and return the short survey by clicking the “Post” button below.
2. Attend the Community Forum, January 13, 2015 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Ludwick Community Center, 864
Santa Rosa Street. This forum is an opportunity to present your ideas to the Council and discuss them with other
community members.
City staff will compile the community feedback for the Council to review in advance of its goal-setting workshop, January
24, 2015 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During this public workshop, the Council will deliberate to set the Major City Goals
and Other Important Objectives for the next two years.
If you have any questions about the City’s goal-setting and budget process, please contact Joe Lamers, Budget
Manager, at (805) 781-7132 or jlamers@slocity.org.

Question 3
We miss out on a significant source of federal and state grants because
we are not a "self help" community. We need to implement a similar
measure G sales tax that are dedicated to infrastructure improvements to
qualify for these grant moneys. Considering we have a significant tax
revenue from tourist visiting the area, we could have a significant increase
in tax revenue from visitors alone.
Additionally, we should look at increasing parking fees downtown. Their is
a potential to change the operations of this city service into a money
generating service. Our fees are extremely low, considering the amount of
infrastructure needed to store vehicles. Again, many tourist visit SLO and
these are opportunities to generate funds for the infrastructure we have
in place to accommodate the tourist industry. Increasing fees can have
multiple benefits beyond just generating funds, it has the potential
encourage people to walk, ride, or bus downtown instead of having to pay
parking fees. There may be a way to give a long term parking pass to
those working in the downtown corridor to make sure increased fees are
not harming businesses or workers disproportionately.

Question 3
I suggest focusing on ways to encourage use of local transit. One idea is
to ;have a one or two-year pilot program that shortens the waiting time for
a bus to 10 or 15 minutes max. Also reduce the ride fee to say $.50. This
temporary experiment could result in significant new interest in bus
ridership and if that happened then fare box would increase significantly
to justify a more permanent solution. This requires rental of a few more
buses and hiring of drivers for this temporary period of time during which
the fare box would likely not fully cover the expenditure. However, the
goal is to demonstrate to residents how easy and especially convenient it
would be to get around town using transit if practical and cost effective.
Most people I know, including myself, who have used transit in other
places has been positive if wait times are short. Many residents are older,
afraid of traffic, or not fit enough for cycling in our city so that is not an
option for many people. Thus, dedicating a lot of money and resources for
cycling improvements alone is not responsive to the needs of most
residents including seniors. Tweaking a popular movie reference, "Make
it reasonable and they will come".

Question 3
Try again with County-wide ballot measure to approve sales tax increase
to fund implementation of transportation improvement program. By
becoming a "self-help county", the County and City will be eligible for
more State and Federal funding assistance.
Consider retaining funds, but delaying higher-cost non-essential capital
projects (i.e. Palm/Nipomo Parking Structure) for future years when the
economy has regressed and construction costs have reduced. The local
economy is strong right now and contractors are busy--bids are less
competitive and corresponding construction costs are high.

Salaries for these positions are out of line with public sector and truly
comparable cities. Most private sector people who move to SLO accept
major pay cuts to live here. Staff should be no different. City staff has
doubled in past 10 to 20 years while population is slightly increased. This
is not justifiable. If developers are not paying the true cost of their project
reviews then increase price for permits and reviews. Please no more
water and sewer rate increases! These costs have more than doubled
over ten years! Curtail fleet purchases, car allowances, discretionary
spending. Reduce hours of operation of various city services where
possible. More aggressive attention to and reduction of unfunded pension
liability is paramount along with employee concessions.

Question 3
Downtown needs to be more people-friendly, rather than having streets
that are 5 lanes across (parking, 3x travel, parking). More space for
people and a more welcoming environment means more desire to spend
time downtown, more revenue for businesses downtown, and more
happiness and community interaction for our residents. Please prioritize
wider sidewalks and protected bicycle infrastructure on downtown
streets, particularly Higuera, followed by Marsh and Monterey.
I'm not sure if it would completely offset the cost of improvements, but
many downtowns have seen higher spending (and higher sales tax
revenues) after such changes.

Question 3
Reduce the climate change associated costs. The amount of time and
money spent to combat climate change does not provide a benefit worth
the cost. Our town is smaller than a tiny drop of the inputs and causes of
climate change, yet it’s a top budget priority. This is backwards.
Second. If there are fiscal constraints, why spend multi-millions on a

controversial bike paths (i.e. anholm bikeway). A project like this, even if it
was without controversy, is a “bonus”. And even the strongest proponent
of the project should be able to admit it is controversial for the
community. This project and those like it are not and should not be a
priority. This is like a family going on an expensive vacation when they are
10,000’s of thousands of dollars deep in debt. The priority is again,
backwards. If there are fiscal constraints, then prioritize getting right
fiscally before embarking on these types of major projects.

Question 3
The city makes housing more expensive for people through property
taxes and fees, and makes the cost of living more expensive through a
sales tax and local utilities tax.
For every project in the budget, I encourage you to ask whether it's so
crucial that it's worth asking the poorest members of our community --
those who may have to decide between food and medicine or school
clothes and gas in the car -- to pay for it in this way. Would you look them
in the eye and say "cut down on your insulin a bit so we can afford X?" If
not, cut X out of the budget or find another way to fund it than taxes.
Continue this process until you've got your budget down to the real
essentials.
Stop forcing the poor to pay for improving the property values of the rich.

everything but we can improve upon what exists, as managed growth is
upon us. throwing together spur of the moment ideas - will simply end up

Question 3
Government employees make considerably MORE income that your
average, non-professional, struggling Joe. Reduce or freeze wages for a
year or two and use that for low income housing. Otherwise, the disparity
will just grow and there will be more and more low income workers and
residents. With the 40% increase in water/sewer rates, I would think
there is considerably more revenue coming in to use for some
infrastructure projects. Work with the County to increase the TOT again.
Tourists use a lot of water, so maybe they should pay more to use that
dwindling resource. If that is a ballot issue, then introduce the measure
to consider it. Maybe bikes should be licensed and taxed to pay for the
bike trails.

Realize you cannot accomplish everything. Start with the highest
priorities first. As a city you are responsible to provide infrastructure
(water, sewer, garbage, electricity, and roads - some by private
companies) and public safety (police and fire). Everything else is gravy
and is not truly required. After you pay for the required items prioritize
the gravy using a collaborative team from the public and stop when the
money runs out. And by all means accelerate pension reforms. Private
companies are abandoning the benefit. It is imperative that cities and
counties do as well.

Question 3
Cities cannot run deficit budgets so that fiscal responsibility must be a
major priority, even at the expense of other important needs.
Infrastructure maintenance is one such need that I'd suggest we handle
best we can with city personnel and equipment, and without major
projects, even if there is some inconvenience. I'm more concerned with
public safety today than with today's effects of climate change, but if I'm
concerned for our children and grandchildren, we can't put off climate
action.

town, birds/electric bike services, etc.), as the current infrastructure will
not be able to support a growing community and tourist population.
Bicycling to work is not an option for most community members,
especially when they work in neighboring cities. We have done a good job
of building great projects over the past few years, but it's time to slow
down and re-assess infrastructure (roads).

Housing is underway ... still important but perhaps the transportation goal

Be careful as to not grant so many resources to “squeaky wheel” projects
or special projects which are not a part of your goal process ... example
nighttime use of trails or Anholm bike way . There are processes in place
for dealing with these things comprehensively rather than as separate
one off political issues like focusing on the bikenplan and amending that
through the regular planning process to address allocating resources to a
particular bike infrastructure project. Parks and open space plan
amendment to comprehensively address trail uses and changing needs.

(Continue implementing the Fiscal Health Response Plan in addition to

•Current Other Important Objective: Downtown Vitality (Continue to
improve safety, infrastructure investment, and maintenance in the

•Open Space Preservation
•Water Management
Question 3
Make a long-term plan, sell its importance to as many of the city's
constituents as possible, be transparent about the plan's probability for
success and its limitations, commit fully to whatever is decided,
implement it accordingly, and keep lines of communication open. There
will be winners and losers, so make sure that your decisions are in the
best interests of the city, whatever those are determined to be. Be
decisive where sufficient data warrants it, seek additional data to guide
the decision-making processes when there is insufficient data, seek and
maintain buy-in from stakeholders, and then stick to your plan to the best
of your ability, knowing full well that such things are fundamentally
organic and that the environment in which you operate is a fluid one and
will constantly be changing. Don't spend too much time trying to achieve
perfection. Spend considerable time trying to build a workable consensus
about desirable goals. Be prepared to compromise in the short-term to
achieve the long-term results that are desired. Avoid the temptation to
write off opposition groups, although there may be an intransigent and
extremely vocal and partisan minority upon whom not too much time
should be spent. If certain shareholders don't come to the proverbial
table in good faith, then limit the damage that they can do.

•Other - Offer more options for using existing open space such as

Question 3
Personally, I would gladly pay higher taxes for increased services, but I
understand that may not be a popular position. Given current spending, I
would like to see small shifts from Streets and Paving, Public Safety, Code
Enforcement, and Traffic Congestion Relief towards Open Space
Preservation but with an emphasis on creating more recreation options in
the existing open spaces and increasing the number of open spaces. I
would also support some type of "use" permit that generated additional
income to support the open spaces. However, everyone that lives in SLO,
but especially homeowners benefit from the presence of open space so
they should also cover some of the expense and not just users.

Bicycle registration and rider licensing to support bike lanes; Off site

Stricter party regulation and larger fines; Utilize church resources to
assist in homeless aid, housing, and mental health; Increase permit and
building fees according to size of projects such as double fees for 5 or
more units, 2.5x for 10 or more, triple for 15 or more, etc. This includes
apartments, condos, and mixed use. Pursue more grants for buses and
increase service and quality, accept bids for contracts; Regulate and tax
Uber and Lyft services, as well as food delivery such as Menu and pizza
delivery for increased impact on infrastructure; Accept bids from
alternative energy companies to provide utilities to city facilities and
require all new housing to be energy self-sufficient to decrease impact on
city trying to create carbon neutral footprints, charge commercial
property owners for services and infrastructure use as they collect higher
rents in the downtown area to support city priorities in that corridor.
Encourage churches and cultural groups to support cultural services the
city now provides and allot resources based on the percentage or share
paid by these groups; Contract out services for infrastructure
maintenance and utilities instead of maintaining inefficient in-house
resources. Curtail subsidies and grants to the Prado center and open
space outside city limits.Let them find organizations and grants to
support themselves and eliminate inefficiency and waste.

Question 3
- Re-pavement project / slurry seal in the neighborhoods (Arbors) was a

bigger issue.
- Cut government spending. The amount of government staff, vehicles,
and overall spend in the City of San Luis Obispo is outrageous! Cut park
rangers as half of them just drive around government vehicles anyways
and never set foot on any path as they are not physically fit to even walk.
- Implement vehicle sharing and advanced reservation across many City
agencies. The amount of vehicles or parks & recreation, probation, water
management, parking, etc. is UNREAL! The City could do away easily with
half of the vehicles and resources.
- Cut the entire "Neighborhood Wellness" department. Not needed.
Redundant in so many aspects.
- Cut Environmental Health & Open space down to 25%. Our government

2019-21 Community Priorities Survey
What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21?
Next, the city needs to attract businesses. There is a college in the town,
and this means extra potential for jobs. However, the city in the past has
created a mechanism to exclude businesses. You really need to evaluate
this, stop the practice, and do things to bring businesses to the area.
Diablo Canyon just left, and/or was pushed out/not welcomed. How
many other well paying jobs does the city want to avoid?
With housing, to lower costs, cut the dual process red tape. For example,
if I want to build a house, I pay an architect and engineer, and comply with
the building codes. Then, I need to pay the city more than I paid the
architect and engineer, both of whom stamped the project and put their
liability on it, to review the project. It is just stupid. The employees then
feel they need to justify their jobs and salary, and likely feel they need
more staff to do the same, and then increase the requirements to build,
often times unnecessary. This only increases the costs to build, which
then increases the cost of housing. Then the city complains that the
housing costs are too much. Here is a novel idea, if the city is complaining
about the cost of housing, then realistically fix the issues the city has
created to increase these housing costs. I am not saying don't do your
job, but I am saying that don't overcharge for doing a job that has already
been done in the private sector in order to keep staff on payroll and
needing to hire more.

Stop throwing money at the homeless situation. Funds are spent to "help"
but the homeless population on the street (and in our parks, buses, trails,

How about considering what the RESIDENTS want in downtown and as far
as development. I've lived here over 40 years and I don't recognize
downtown anymore. It's just a smaller version of Santa Barbara with most
development done with visitors rather than residents involved.
Housing in SLO is a joke. All the residents hear is "we need more
workforce housing." And yet when I look at the houses currently under
development and those for sale in my neighborhood, most are
unaffordable to even dual income households! My husband and I both
work in SLO at very good jobs and could not afford the $3K mortgage
payment a home in our neighborhood would require at this time. And to
top it off, the City gives the developers the go-ahead to develop even
though they don't have the means to handle traffic!

Question 3
You don't want to raise taxes, everyone hates that. Tourism has always
been vital to our economy...but, how do we make it year long. I brought
this up years ago when the county was reworking it's General Plan. We
need to look at how we can build a Convention Center. Make it as self-
staining as possible, with a commercial kitchen, it's own garden (maybe a
vertical garden?), and in a place that would afford future building for
hotels, and close enough to the airport. Make the rooms flexible so that
the can expand in size, and be available for locals. Smaller food venues
would be available as well as outlets for car rentals, county, wine, beer
tours, etc. We have a great architectural/engineering school w/Cal Poly,
I'm sure there would be some great minds that would love to contribute to
a project like that. Make this a destination where everyone would want to
hold their meetings. The tax revenue would incredible, not to mention the
return visits from folks wanting to bring their families back. It will cost
money up front, but will generate money for years and years to come.

Question 3
While I am very appreciative of the excellent Fire and police services we
receive, I continue to be amazed that our fire dept owns and operates a
tiller truck as a first out response vehicle. Not only was it very expensive
to buy, the requirement to staff it with four firefighters versus the
previous three makes it an ongoing very high personnel cost. As he city
discusses the ongoing pension increases, the extra staff required for this
very costly specialty apparatus that requires four staff should be on the
table.

We’re outside people coming into the city to work, better mass
transportation approaches should be taken Including more park-and
rides, and shared vehicles. Most of the down town core should be turned
into a pedestrian mall similar to our Thursday market.

Question 3
Please reconsider the Anholm district overhaul. This has cost valuable
dollars. It has pitted neighbors against neighbors due to a group who
mostly live elsewhere deciding it is ok to restructure a neighborhood for a
plan that has no guarantee of reaching the gov stated goals re bike
ridership, health, emission controls.
Put the money toward MASSIVE safety campaigns directed at
teens/college students who need courses about bike rules
and ped safety. This must include night time awareness of invisiability due
to dark clothing. There is real concern that the
proposed bike paths on Chorro and Broad will increase injury. Thank you
for asking. You asked Anholm which bike path option we wanted which
included none of the above. We said none and then the city just kept
moving forward. Please don’t ask if you don’t want to pay attention to the
results.

•Other - REALLY address fiscal issue - pensions. Stop pretending that
the issues result from operational trade-offs. Tighten the belt, cut
current pensions, fully fund pensions owed then we can discuss the
rest.
•Other - Downtown Vitality is a code word for enriching the downtown
real estate owners and businesses at the expense of neighborhood
roads, sidewalks, parks, etc. Downtown safety as an issue and
priority? A silly diversion is all that is.
Question 3
Make a plan first to catch up on pension contributions. It is not an annual
budget line item but a huge debt the same as any bond issue. Suck it up,
stop a lot of activities that amount to niceties, cut staff, reduce pay and
benefits and pay the pension bill. Then run the city in a fiscally
responsible manner. Pretending that the pension debt can be managed
on top of doing everything else is a fallacy promoted and protected by city
management, who benefit from delaying action.

Reduce employee/retiree salary and benefits. More and more of the

•Other - Prohibiting rent control laws. Increasing & improving Rental
Housing is too important to the city to implement any form of rent
controls. Study after study has shown housing stock is reduced & the
quality diminishes after rent controls are put in place.
Question 3
1) The city has done a great job of increasing outdoor hiking, biking and
open spaces. They could install donation boxes for hikers, bikers and
users similar to self serve payment bins at state parks. Park staff could
pick up funds when they are refilling doggy bags, dumping trash cans or
other services. 2) City could reduce staff via attrition in the community

services dept and bring staffing back to levels existing before the failed
rental inspection program was established. 3) The city could insensitive-
ize in fill development of low income housing by removing obstacles and
excessive fees. The benefit is in increasing the housing stock for
vulnerable populations which reduces the cost of services to that
population and reduces homelessness. 4) Use public private partnerships
for development of low income rental housing by providing long term land
leases or reduced fees up front and share in returns over the long run (30-
40 years typical). 5) Create a low income rent burdened support fund,
like the Federal Section 8 program, that is funded from an increased
business tax against all rental property owners in the city. 6) Remove the
current limitation on how many unrelated people can live together within
the city. This would cost nothing to implement and would immediately
free up existing rental property within the city. Today, if you have a 3
bedroom rental you can only put 5 unrelated people in it, if you could put
6 (2/bedroom) then that frees up the requirement for that one person to
find another living situation and potentially reduces their rent as sharing a
room is less than cost of single occupancy. 7) In the resident parking
zones around Cal Poly, limit the number but sell a parking permit for city
residents not in those zones to park in those zones. This would
immediately bring in revenue, re-leave parking constraints on those that
live close to but not in those restricted zones. For example - Bond St. -
One side is restricted and therefore almost vacant and the other is not
and is packed with cars year round. If city resident (owners and renters)
across the street and not in the restricted zone had first priority and could
buy permits, many would. 8) Reduce parking requirements and increase
density in all multi-family zones (R-2, R-3 and R-4), this would increase
development and therefore increase fees to the city while reducing the
deficit of needed housing stock in the city. 9) Put a few short-term
parking meters in the restricted residential zones for visitor parking, for
service provider parking (landscapers, plumbers, etc.) and short-term
overflow parking. The cost of the meter install would be recuperated
quickly and from then on it is a source of funding for the city as parking
already has crews to maintain and replace meters. 10) Establish a public
private partnership with a "city bike" and/or e-bike service provider within
the city core and between large institutions like Cal Poly, Cuesta and the
the airport area to share in the revenue and or licensing fees. This
potential reduces car traffic and pollution, adds a revenue source and
improves parking in critical locations around the city.

services, as well as road and infrastructure wear and tear; thereby
increasing the amount of open space which is far less maintenance than
roads, homes, etc. Added bonus of every single city service and event
needed less money poured into it. A city of 35-40k needs far fewer
resources than a city of 60k.
2. Cut back on the amount of bicycle related infrastructure changes,
which provide little to no benefit for most of the population and only
increase expenses; if you will be spending that money, more frequent bus
transit services should be in place
3. Lower the amount of city-sponsored programs and events, instead
allowing non-city funded groups to apply and spend their own money to
host events.

Question 3
The three major drivers for SLO are Cal Poly (which we have no control
over), city and county government, and the best downtown in the USA!
We need to keep the downtown thriving as retail faces headwinds from
online merchants. One of the negatives we hear from customers all the
time is the need for more parking downtown. I know that statistics may
show otherwise, but this is the perception. People have told me that they
are visiting SLO less often because they don't like the hassle of searching
for parking. A new parking structure at Nipomo Street would help prepare
our downtown for its next phase of a cultural center with a new theatre
and art center and a walking promenade. This would also help drive more
people to the downtown for those facilities and they will dine and shop
while visiting downtown SLO. I know the parking garage may
inconvenience a few people in the neighborhood immediately around the
parking structure, but it may also alleviate some of the nuisance they
experience from people parked illegally around their neighborhood.
Please continue to move forward with the plan for this parking structure.
It is the top priority to me and to many people I know who work and visit
SLO.

1) We miss out on federal and state grants because we are not a "self

to infrastructure improvements to qualify for these grant moneys. Given
tourism to the area, we could achieve a significant increase in tax revenue
from visitors alone.
2) Consider increasing some parking fees downtown to provide revenue
and encourage walking, taking transit or biking downtown. There is

Question 3
The City can adjust current projects and services by focusing more on
housing for the working class- not low income. Funds can be adjusted by
limiting the amounts of bike lanes that are being put in. There are
hundreds of people that work at Cuesta, CMC, and several business
towards the airport that public transportation/bikes do not make sense to
use. BUT these people want to live in the City of SLO but when rent is so
high,those of us who want to live, work and own a home in SLO are being
pushed out. People like me and my husband who have good jobs and
make decent money are unable to move out of our small apartment to
buy a house in SLO.

Switch police and fire employees to the same retirement program as all
other city employees. Recent fire chief is retiring at 51 years old with 30
years of service and a base pay of $178,620. This means that the city of
SLO will pay 90% of his salary ($160,758) likely for the next 40 years.
This is not sustainable nor necessary to recruit and retain fire and police
employees.

Question 3
For the last several it seems that the city has felt that the downtown was
stable and a good source of revenue. I have been in this downtown for the
last 45 years and it is in the most trouble that I have ever seen. The most
specific problem is traffic congestion and lack of parking due to added
demand while removing significant parking. The in lieu program made
sense until the cost of providing the parking greatly exceeded the fee's,
especially for larger projects.We are on the edge of loosing one of the best
downtown's in the US.

Discontinue the pilot programs such as night hiking/biking program and

money. Explore Barry Rand's proposal on the Anholm Bike Path as a good
faith gesture to the community. Get rid of any city landscaping that
requires water. All city buildings should be solar in the next two years.
Set a higher standard than the state for developments that use affordable
and workforce housing as a way into our town. Require more affordable
and low income housing than the state. Charge these developers
accordingly to their profit margins, or have them pay for the
infrastructure these buildings are needing. Tighten the city's belt by
reducing staff and adding an incentive program for early retirement to
reduce the city's pension liability. Have Cal Poly house more students
sooner; therefore taking a load off our police department etc...

•Current Other Important Objective: Downtown Vitality (Continue to

•Open Space Preservation

Question 3
Focusing on open space, infrastructure and economic development
programs and services should allow for more revenue generation. People
come here for the beauty and vistas. Most of us admire the unique streets
and charm of our neighborhoods, downtown and shopping areas. These
aspects bring tourists and allow for sales tax revenue. Increasing housing
within the city limits generates revenue and allows for a more vibrant
community. Perhaps adjusting services within economic health to allow
for more broad approaches to meet various needs within the city would
cut costs.

Question 2
•Traffic Reduction

Question 3
Trade Offs - Prioritization
1)Reduce City spending on extraneous things like new vehicles every year
or two for city workers or new City Police Vehicles, etc
2)Don't spend on want items like bike path creation when there are roads
where bikers can bike safely and easily - ie chorro Rd.
3)Stop investing millions of dollars with consultants around the Mission
Development project. The city has spent years on esoteric opinion
gathering much of which isn't even realistic for consideration with the
layout of our town.
4)Stop looking to spend City funds to build out a theater on the corner of
Nipomo and Monterey when all we need is a parking structure.
Conclusion: If you don't have the money- you can't spend it. City needs
to learn to live within its means just like taxpayers have to.

waste of time, money, energy and enthusiasm. Improving mass transit

Don't make pension promises you can't keep. Enable employees to

infrastructure, parking, bike trails, etc. before other areas are developed.
It is much more expensive to rework than to build new. Force developers
to install required parks, roads, parking, and bike ways. Stop granting
exceptions and waivers. The requirements exist for a reason.

this very important extension is beyond me and many others. I wonder IF

Question 3
Many of these problems need to be solved by coordinating with Cal Poly.
Housing availability and affordability. Traffic congestion.
They should build more dorms and faculty housing.
They should also build a long-term parking lot for Freshman and a
commuter parking lot and have a shuttle service that runs to both.
Require all new building downtown to include housing.
Offer more short-term parking spots (30 min or less) on downtown
streets to increase visits by locals (and sales tax) who just need to pop
into a store to pick up something.
Offer more frequent or better coordination of buses (it can take over an
hour to travel across town if the bus connections don't coordinate).
Apply for grants from state for homeless and transportation.

else. Examples: open space maintenance/expansion; Class 1 bike path

Homelessness are issues plaguing us now. SLO has always been a leader
in environmental concerns but the current emphasis on large scale bike
paths to the detriment oof neighborhoods is short sighted. Our buses
have passengers waiting an hour. Families, disables people & seniors
need better service to get around. Not everyone can rise a bike. Keep our
buildings at a height where we can preserve our vistas.

Question 2
•Current Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation (Prioritize
implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the
Short-Range Transit Plan)
•Current Major City Goal: Climate Action (Implement the Climate Action
Plan, carbon neutral by 2035 target, and complete a Green House Gas
emissions update)
•Current Major City Goal: Fiscal Sustainability & Responsibility
(Continue implementing the Fiscal Health Response Plan in addition to
focusing on economic development and infrastructure financing)
•Infrastructure Maintenance (such as roads, sidewalks, and bike paths)
•Other - A pump track (dirt track) for kids to ride bikes. The same as
Morro Bay. Also, in locations where kids can get to without having to
drive in a car (Chorro Park by Cuesta College is NOT ideal).
Question 3
More focus on infrastructure over large housing developments. With the
large housing complexes under construction now, we should focus on
affordable homes and building neighborhoods so that people can rely
more on multi-modal transportation methods and can work, play and
shop where they live.
The five priorities I chose all work together toward these goals and are not
new.

Question 3
Homelessness is becoming a bigger and bigger issue and threat to our
safety in San Luis Obispo. I have read about other communities (one in
Oregon) who have addressed this utilizing not-for-profit organizations
with individuals trained in psychology and with the ability to work with
people with mental illness, and helping transport them to shelters. I think
we need to focus on helping the homeless population by getting them to
the appropriate shelters or rehab programs, but be more strict on
homeless individuals who refuse help and are living on our streets.

Neighborhood health is constrained by the high ratio of rentals to owner

each single family unit is allocated 2 parking permits. The permits need to
be purchased so this should be revenue neutral

•Other - Work to make downtown more welcoming to all ages of local
residents. Currently it seems to appeal most to tourists and young
people. It used to be a major shopping destination for local residents
for ordinary, everyday items but no longer is.
•Other - A hiring freeze is needed for city employees until the city can
live within the current budget. A budget increase is not the answer.
Adding staff is not the answer. Current employees need to evaluate
ways to be more efficient and truly serve the city.
•Other - Stop approving new large structures in the core downtown
area. The current large projects nearing completion are already
threatening to destroy our wonderful downtown ambience.
Question 3
Listen to the people who live here. Listen to neighborhoods' opinions.
Serve the people, not the developers. Stop and think and evaluate what is
best for the city's residents first and the commuting workforce second.
The tourists and college students aren't going to stop coming. But the
city has become less and less welcoming to its own residents; to people
who work here but can't afford to live here and are forced to commute
from neighboring communities; and to people who would like to relocate
to new jobs here. Something is wrong when physicians, professors and
other professional people turn down job offers because they can't afford a

home in San Luis Obispo. And how many of San Luis Obispo's "ordinary
people" - teachers, law enforcement personnel, small business owners,
and probably even many city employees - are forced to commute or even
leave the area because housing is too expensive. New houses are about
to be sold on Tank Farm - starting in the high $700,000s, a price few can
afford. We can't. We are only able to live in San Luis Obispo because we
bought our house 45 years ago. Was the Righetti Ranch development
approved to benefit residents or future residents of San Luis Obispo or
was it just for the developer or for the fees generated or the future
additional taxes to be collected? And exactly why is more and more office
and commercial space being approved when there are empty office, store
and business properties all over town? And really, where is the water for
all this going to come from during the next 5-year drought?

Question 3
Honestly, I would love to see significantly higher rates on parking meters
and the lots downtown. However, increasing parking revenues is probably
not a sufficient option for all of the development/construction that we'd
like to see. The first priority should be to increase density around the
downtown core and near Cal Poly to increase walkability and bikability, as
well as to raise the tax base, particularly for folks who attend school or
work nearby. Height limits should be dramatically relaxed downtown. It
seems to me that most of our "tall" buildings downtown are parking
garages, which is just the worst use of valuable land imaginable. With a
real effort to increase downtown housing, one would hope to see reduced
housing costs, which in turn could encourage entrepreneurship and could
(in the very long run) increase tax revenue to fund all the other cool stuff
in the sustainability plan. However, without reducing housing costs AND
dramatically increasing the density of downtown and the immediately
proximate neighborhoods, all the green infrastructure in the world will
simply serve as an expensive amenity for those who currently live or can
afford to move to the low-rise areas north and south of downtown.
Offsetting revenue could come from development fees and/or higher
sales tax on the outlying business districts (airport/LOVR/etc) to
encourage downtown development and growth.

When visiting other cities across the US, we noticed that many have

system of miles of bike paths will be a great asset for the city, encourage
healthy outdoor exercise, reduce carbon emissions and reduce car-bike
collisions. Funding could be a combination of development fees,
fundraising and budget for parks and recreation.

Question 3
Unify Parks and Recreation with the Open Space program. So many parks
interface with open space it is time consuming and a duplication of effort
to communicate maintenance needs. Do NOT spend more money on open
space acquisition. Enough is enough. Maintain present inventory.
Especially urban creek beds which present a fire danger to nearby
homes.
Paying one director and one staff with budget for both makes better use
of city monies.

Question 3
I thought that this survey was designed to prioritize projects.
I feel that the city needs to maintain, repair and expand existing
infrastructure adequately before taking on brand new development
projects.
Consider some sort of tax or fee, since we are a tourist area consider
raising the bed tax on hotels, a tax on flying in and out, a tax on wine
tours, some source of revenue that would be used for the transportation
infrastructure that would be funded by people travelling here and not put
an undo burden on local residents.

Question 3
This area is growing, and more people are commuting to work in San Luis
Obispo. The earlier we get ahead of the curve, the easier and less costly it
will be in the future. The city needs to be able to handle its citizens before
addressing the natural problems that follow, because things like
homelessness, public safety and water management will change again
and again as the city evolves. Growth and housing should be a fairly top
priority, instead of intersections with a few cracks in it or improving eye
sores around downtown.

Question 3
Eliminate the multi-modal transportation priority as it's very expensive
and does not service the majority of the residents, workers and visitors in
our City.
And eliminate the traffic reduction plan--again very expensive and not
serving the majority of those who live, work or visit SLO. It will be
extremely hard to provide adequate parking in the future if adequate
parking is not incorporated into all new developments. Most everyone
drives a car; only a small percentage ride bicycles, so it's important to
plan for adequate parking throughout the city so people can shop,
recreate and visit here.

how to prioritize needs and wishes. I think it might be best to begin with
crucial projects that are more expensive, then work backwards to
determine priorities and allocate "fun money." For example, the City
must complete an update of the housing element, which is a hard cost
that should budgeted accordingly. Only once these projects have been
identified, then we determine if we have enough "fun money" for non-
priority projects.

Lessen police force. SLO is very safe and even the chief of police stated
that a lot of what she has to do would never be done in other cities. The
cost of sending police out for every little annoyance an old person has is a

•Other - Consider Lowering Maximum Building Heights by Incorporating

Special Focus Areas Should Include the Downtown Core and the Upper
Monterey Area. Undertake a visual resource study for Downtown.
Question 3
Cut back on 1) Organizational Vitality: P&R Administration; 2) Information
Technology: Network Services; 3) Recreational Services: Golf Course; 4)
Recreational Services: Aquatics; 5) Governance: City Administration; 6)
Economic Health: Tourism Improvement District; 7) Economic Health:
Development Services; 8) Cultural Services: Community Promotions. The
reasons for this are as follows: The City should not depend on hiring
public relations consultants to "sell" their programs. Network services
have become increasingly costly and significant cost cutting should be
considered here. The City should reexamine its commitment to water
intensive recreational uses particularly as they relate to addressing
climate change. Cost savings can be realized by freezing salaries and
reassessing the costs of outsourcing (i.e. over reliance on consultants).
The private sector should not have to rely on the City to promote tourism,
promote new development or to promote non-city related community
events.

Question 3
Focus on approving and fast tracking projects that generate large novel
sources of revenue. Large housing projects along the Prado infill area as
well as the irish hills area and the area along the city county border on
broad street could utilize existing infrastructure generating the largest
net revenue increase to the city. Similarly, allowing taller multi-story,
mixed use projects downtown places high value, high revenue producing
properties in an area less reliant on large streets and expensive bus
services. Stop focusing on subsidized low income housing as it generates
relatively low net revenue. By allowing construction to freely proceed
existing dated housing stock will become less competitive and de facto
more affordable for low income individuals.
The main problem with the SLO is limited growth. When a pie is of limited
size everyone must fight each other for a larger piece (or really a smaller
piece since infighting creates inefficiency) . A simple solution is to bake a
bigger pie, which creates more revenue for everyone's pet projects... lets
focus on abundance rather than scarcity

city's efforts to control housing: it is not the responsibility of a local

housing. Reduce spending on bicycle-related expenses: Existing city
bicycle programs are costly, frequently prove to be an annoyance to
motorists, and may in fact have a negative impact on revenue streams for

Given the high cost of living in this City, more attention should be paid to
the permanent residents that already live here. When you have 40%
permanent residents & 60% renters, something is wrong with that
picture. Encourage (insist) that Cal Poly provide more housing for their
students in order to free up existing housing that students presently
occupy. That is one of the main ways we can get young families back into
this presently unaffordable town!

Question 3
HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING!
San Luis exists within the context of a bubble. It systematically and
structurally does not allow for marginalize people, people of color, or
those who are poor to entire its bubble. Unless you are a tokenized
minority, San Luis will either criminalize or make invisible any culture
outside of mainstream whiteness.
Why would programs such as section 8 exist if San Luis is unwilling to
enforce landlords must accept such subsidies?
That’s like giving someone money to buy groceries, but only stores in
Santa Maria will accept the currency.
This is a form of discrimination and a systematic way to weed out “less
desirable” POC and poor people. Other cities have made “method of
payment” / Section 8 a protected class, just like gender, race, sexual
orientation, religion. Why not San Luis?
Also, please work to create a better bike path to Cuesta College, or
partner to provide all Cuesta students with bus passes, and a bus route
that runs more than once per hour.
Stop favoring and upholding wealth & privilege!
We can still have a wonderful thriving community when we include others
outside the existing bubble. There is a whole other Slo that deserves
visibility.
*** Please address the myth of lacking diversity within SLO vs. the reality
of marginalization or invisibility of all cultures outside of “organic, bike
riding, small business owners” Not all of us can afford that lifestyle. We
still live and work in this community.
MORE REPRESENTATION!
MORE INCLUSIVITY!

With the reduced revenue to the City, I think we need to hold off on
funding items that aren't addressing core issues: safety of the City,
transient issues, and infrastructure for those City buildings that are old
and not up to code. I know it makes the City more attractive to have new
playgrounds and parks and whatnot, but that's not essential to living and
being safe in SLO. We've been doing more with less but at this point,
we've reached the threshold of doing less with less.

If we are truly to meet the City's lofty mode split goals, we must be
prepared to accept slightly higher traffic congestion so that the
supporting alternative transportation modifications can be implemented.
I moved here from Davis, which is doing a much better job of supporting
public transit (both local and regional) and bicycling. What the City did to
LOVR about six years is emblematic of the type of wrong decisions that
sacrifice bicycling safety for car capacity increases.

landsaping we obviously cant *count* on rain to maintain our water
supply if we keep "adding" people (apts, housing, new businesses)
without increasing our city's water supply. look at how low the reservoirs
have been this fall + they were pretty well filled in the spring. Cape Town
SA expanded too rapidly without watching water closely and almost ran
out. I fear SLO is moving in the same direction. SLO will not be desirable if
property values will fall without adequate water

Stop allowing houses that will cost $700,000 or higher from being built.
The project along Tank Farm Rd. is ridiculous. Residents CAN NOT
AFFORD that. SLO shouldn't just be for the upper class. Put the screws on
Cal Poly by curbing how many extra students they allow in. The city CAN
NOT absorb the extra students. It puts a strain on housing for locals. I was
born and raised in SLO - it is my home however I am forced to look at the
prospect of moving due to increasing home/rental prices. Locals like
myself are like the backbone of this city. Students come and go - locals
stay. Think about them (us) more over corporations/students

AFFORD that. SLO shouldn't just be for the upper class. Put the screws on
Cal Poly by curbing how many extra students they allow in. The city CAN
NOT absorb the extra students. It puts a strain on housing for locals. I was
born and raised in SLO - it is my home however I am forced to look at the
prospect of moving due to increasing home/rental prices. Locals like
myself are like the backbone of this city. Students come and go - locals
stay. Think about them (us) more over corporations/students

Question 3
The focus on building housing developments lacks planning in SLO's road
and traffic infrastructure. For instance the develop mention on Tank
Farm/ Orcutt will create congestion problems due to one lane at
entrances. The council needs to have developers pay for widening of
roads and traffic planning. The building of more homes does not help
reduce real estate pricing in SLO and make housing more affordable.

Question 2
•Current Major City Goal: Housing (Facilitate increased production of all
housing types designed to be economically accessible to the area
workforce and low and very low-income residents)
Question 3
Offer housing for the hard working professionals. Make the ability to own
realistic for the people who work and play in the city. It appears that
housing was meant for the upper class, which does not open the market
for the people who live here. It opens up the market to the upper class to
profit off of the college students and the hard working people only to then
take away the ability for locals to invest in their city/county. I believe local
housing programs are needed...which gives priority for housing to locals.

They are SO efficient using cash on card. Yes it is expensive to switch
over to this system but a 24 hours service would soon pay the cost. Lets

Question 1
•I live in the City of San Luis Obispo.
•I work in the City of San Luis Obispo.
•Other - I attend Cuesta College in SLO
Question 2
•Current Major City Goal: Housing (Facilitate increased production of all
housing types designed to be economically accessible to the area
workforce and low and very low-income residents)
•Current Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation (Prioritize
implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the
Short-Range Transit Plan)
•Traffic Reduction
•Addressing Homelessness
•Infrastructure Maintenance (such as roads, sidewalks, and bike paths)
Question 3
Please prioritize commitment in establishing safety to the uncontrolled
pedestrian walkways. Specifically, the walkway of Tank Farm Road &
Poinsettia to the upmost priority. Also Madonna and LOVR is quite a
confusing stretch of street to bicyclists and motorists alike. I believe
traffic management is of a higher needs obligation as it is crucial in
maintaining safety to all SLO residents. Thus SLO fashions to be a bikable
city, yet there are many dangerous roadways for bicyclists and motorists
to share the road. With better traffic management the city can then build
upon welcoming more businesses and homes. Furthermore, satisfy its
current residents with dependable roadways and keep up in the growth of
SLO. To accomplish this, please put on hold any major developments of
building etc. I understand the revenue objective, however, a revamp of the
infrastructure will more than likely enhance potential business/home
developers to set up shop if the town was more accessible and safe.

Prioritize efficiency within each City department and program, and
recognize that prioritizing efficiency may necessitate some adjustment to
the level of service. One example is in the operation of SLO Transit.
Routes should be adjusted to ensure the straightest path, thereby
reducing vehicle miles driven and road maintenance expenditures.
Though this may require bus riders to walk slightly further to another bus
stop, the resulting decrease in operating expenses will be a trade-off in
the name of fiscal responsibility.

Question 3
when looking at the overall development of within the city .. projects
presently finishing and soon to be started, it should be apparent that the
south side of the city has been overwhelmed by development; 227 first
became a commercial highway, now intersections and extensions of 227
and tank farm are overwhelmed with both commercial and residential
projects that appear far to big for the sites. The Righetti ranch project is
enormous. and disrupted orcutt, which now has a traffic circle.. the use of
which will be fantastically amusing to watch.. Mind Body added .. how
many bodies and cars? the Buckley Road project will add how many
homes etc? and the " other corner " of 227 and Tank Farm soon to be
developed as well. I believe the city needs to redistribute the development
" wealth" elsewhere. We are impacted here. Our roads, intersections,
shopping, parks, etc. all need some additional funding and TLC. French
park is used by neighbors from near and far as well as mid day workers
from Mind body etc. and dogs from all over the city because we have no
true dog parks nearby. There are un used areas within the park that need
redesigning for usage. The traffic on Poinsettia is far greater and faster
than it should be because of this. The park could used some lighting. Of
course, you know about the traffic and safety issues on 227...but there
seems to be little any of you can do about it.. as its been a concern for
years now. This area is older without the charm of downtown. We do not
need the city 's actions decreasing the values of our homes here, as it
looks to assist newcomers. Im a huge supporter of sustainability, housing
affordability, etc . but turning your proverbial back on the aging
population and neighborhoods, is just as detrimental to the heart and soul
of the city. Many, many neighbors here are well into their 80s. They have
no where else to go. There is nothing affordable here in assisted living. so
they stay in these houses until they die. and drive .... which is not safe..
especially on these roads as they are so heavily impacted now. and
please, if you approve a development on the NW corner of 227 and tank
farm... please be sure that whomever designs and approves it has some
actual idea of traffic flow and parking flow and needs. The Marigold
Center is a nightmare in all ways. as is the other corner withe the gas
station, office building, and Mind Body squeezed into a space that was not
large enough for one entity. How are these approved? I travel to other
cities in California...and guess what.. their parking lots are actually large
enough and designed well enough for flow within and without . so i know
the knowledge and design technology exists. In the old days i would ask
where all these kids were going to go to school??? but i'm well passed
that inquiry. Los Ranchos seems impacted to me, according to my
sources. oh and this neighborhood, has the absolute slowest, most
interrupted internet service... its horrendous. if the new developments get
new internet and new shiny everything, and those neighborhoods are
surrounding these older, neglected ones, the city is actively causing
depreciation of our housing values. Something, none of us can afford.
thank you

Question 1
•I live in the City of San Luis Obispo.
Question 2
•Open Space Preservation
•Growth Management
•Economic Development
•Other - Transportation: Develop and implement an efficient, energy
wise, bus and shuttle service with better schedule. Market convenience
and positive effect on climate change. This will increase ridership,
reach a desired goal and increase revenue.
•Other - Climate Change: Reduce air pollution by supporting commerce
in local neighborhoods: Madonna, Broad St., Foothill, Monterey Height,
etc. Too much focus on Downtown and tourism. This could inspire
more people to shop local more often; more tax dollars.
Question 3
1. Transportation: Create a more accessible and timely transportation
system and they will come. Educate yourselves and the public on the
positive effects of taking local public transit. It will reduce the time and
stress of finding parking, meters and tickets. 2. Save funds by reducing
agency fees to promote SLO. Keep it local. The agencies you're working
with appear to be way out of a small town budget. 3. I regret to say that
marketing and funding seems to always focus on downtown. The rest of
the city feels left out. 4. I'd like to see a City agency that would keep the
public aware of building permits, remodels and expansions. Rather then
feeling like SLO is being taken over we'd feel included. ** I was unable to
find a real breakdown of the budget. I'm sure funds could be moved
around, fees could be increased. A Special City Event/Activity annually or
more often could bring in additional funds and build community. Who gets
money from the Christmas parade?

Question 3
The city's major goal of increasing housing production of all types for the
so called "workforce" and low income is exacerbating land use,
infrastructure and environmental quality. Ever denser and taller buildings
are changing the character of SLO. And why, for the construction
industry and business's that feed on growth? That will eventually kill what
is unique and wonderful about our area. It has in many other parts of this
state. So called low income housing becomes expensive housing after a
few years. It has happened here before. Don't allow developers to dictate
our cities future.

We need to reduce our spending to reduce our current fiscal restraints; it

4) Retirees--renegotiate unsustainable pensions
5) any new hire city staff--initially no pension (see above)
If we all work together and each feel some pain, we can get through this in
a relatively short period of time. Once we break even on the budget, then
we can adjust accordingly. If any one group refuses to work with the rest

new projects may bring new tax revenue to the city. Make developers pay

Close car access to downtown and reduce road size in places around the
city to reduce the maintenance required for upkeep. Use the savings to
fund the bus system to run more frequently to help encourage a multi-
modal system to come to fruition. Turn the closed off streets of the
downtown area into nice plaza’s that the city can give out community
event permits for a fee to generate additional funds. Yes, many people will
be very upset about loss of some street parking, but it’s one of those
things that people can get on board with once they see how functional it is
once it’s done. And the new parking garage is going to go up soon too.
But, most importantly, projects like closing car access to downtowns will
help with the right sizing of car infrastructure needed in the age of
autonomous vehicles which is rapidly coming to existence. We need to
create a narrative for the public that makes this palatable.

Question 3
Make housing policies that support a broader range of incomes and
support social and environmental justice. There are many options
available that are providing some level of redistribution, and many people
that I have spoken with are happier to support these burdens and costs
relating to development, rather than just increasing profitibilty for
developers and investors. Many improvements toward a more equitible
and just city can be made at little or no expense through ordinance.
Environmental concerns within city limits are also top of mind, from
runoff to air quality to lack of trees (currently net negative). Common
sense simple pedestrian improvements are needed and provide high
benefit for minimal cost.

Infrastructure must be prioritized over development. Adult recreation
needs to pay for itself, and take a backseat to safety and housing. Night
use of trails should be halted, fire safety must be considered in use of
open space. High winds should close trail use. The City is over staffed.
District voting for Council needs to be undertaken. Consider becoming
City of general jurisdiction which would put SLO in conformity with the
County and all other Cities in the County and relieve the City Council of
duties they detest.

Question 3
Require a Business License for each single-family, duplex, triplex rental in
order to compensate for the services that owners of multiple residential
rentals receive. Currently the more rental properties an owner has, the
more services he receives - and the less he pays, per property, for those
services. Prioritize expenditures: Concentrate on the basic services for
which the City is responsible (e.g. streets/sidewalks, water/sewer, public
safety, etc.); list critical needs first, then less critical, etc. Do not take on
new projects if old projects are unfinished. Since there have been no
accidents in at least the last five years, shelve the Anholm Bikeway plans
and use simpler, less costly ways to address safety in that area - stop
signs and crosswalks where needed. Do not allocate funds for
projects/programs that are county responsibilities. Do not budget for
recreational needs beyond the city's residential population.

Question 3
There is much that can be done on very little budget. Marking crosswalks
on Broad Street (near Stoneridge area), South Street (at King,
Woodbridge and/or Beebee), South Higuera (at Elks Lane), Los Osos
Valley Road (at Los Verdes Drive) and Orcutt Road (at Sacramento
extension) come at very little cost, but provide access to schools and
public transportation stops for the first/last mile of commutes. We have
one of the most dangerous cities for walking/biking in California; we can
chip away at it with very little impact to other services. If we want modal
shift to happen, we need to provide safe access for all modes--not just
bicycles. Public education re: multimodal safety can also be done at very
little cost or through public/private/volunteer partnerships. It is worth
looking into if we really want to encourage modal shift. We are also
severely lacking in accessibility on sidewalks, particularly around schools
and bus stops in lower income neighborhoods (Sinsheimer, CL Smith),
with many residential collectors lacking ramped curbing at corners. There
was a previous program for these improvements that should be picked up
again. Small changes can make a big impact, especially for these
neighborhoods, which benefit far more from improvements than more
affluent areas.

•Other - Reduce development impact fees in the downtown areas to

•Other - Increase transit headway to 15 minutes from 45 minutes
Question 3
Given that a high percentage of the population lives within 1/4-mile of
local transit, consider a parcel tax to fund a vast increase in transit
services to eventually attain 15-minute frequency/headway, as 45-minute
frequency transit is not an attractive option for most people.
Negotiate a much higher contribution from Cal Poly for 2-year transit
agreement, as the current amount is $375,000 which is only $18.00 per
student; aim for $1.5 million in order to fund more frequent transit service
to Cal Poly campus.
Remove "first-hour free" parking in parking structures. Consider perhaps
$1.00 for "first-hour" parking in parking structures to generate additional
revenues.
Increase ticket enforcement of aggressive driving and texting with

I'd love to think someone actually reads these and it's not lip service. I've

downtown we should keep it as is. Perhaps lower it. We are crossing lines

Question 3
I don't agree with the current mayor's "solutions" for "affordable
housing." I agree, however, that housing needs to be accessible
especially for young families and especially for first time buyers. New
proposed housing often comes with HOAs and possible Mella Roos,
making it ever more difficult to purchase a home. I want my
grandchildren who are 7th SLO generation citizens to be able to afford to
live here. What is being built and what is proposed is NOT affordable for
young families and first time buyers. The mayor throws around the term
"affordable housing." What does that mean? Protected bike lanes, while
wanted by a vocal group of citizens, is extremely expensive. In my
opinion, that should not be a priority of the current city council and the
mayor. Homelessness is an ever increasing problem, not only in San Luis
Obispo, but nationwide. There are as many reasons for homelessness as
there are homeless people. I often had homeless children in my class in
SLO. Safety is the biggest issue with homeless people. My daughter was
at Mission Plaza with her two young sons. The fountain was empty. The 2
1/2 year old climbed in to get a closer look at the bear. The city worker
told my daughter that people bath in that fountain, best not to go in it or
even put hands in the water when it's filled. My son-in-law had a smash
and grab from his car parked in the Dalidio post office at 9:30 in the
morning. Homeless people hang out in the park across the street. Some
of his belongings were found in Visalia when the PD there went to make a
drug arrest. The "straws by request program" to help wildlife and the
environment, is a good one. The mayor and several city council members
voted to allow night biking/hiking in a natural preserve, which potentially
hurts wildlife and the environment. In my opinion, this is contradictory.
Thank you for letting voice my opinion.

Keep height of buildings at no more than three stories until Cal Poly

Have lived here for more than 50 years it was a problem then as it is now-
to rent or buy a home was out of line.
What percent of rentals are now occupied by students- it would be
interesting to know.
Ex. Mr Armstrong announced earlier this year he was adding 500 more
freshman but didn't know where they would live.

Public Safety- Bring the police up to FULL staffing! Women firefighters-
Hire them- it's been 20 years since the first woman left...
Over 20 years ago, the council was going to install curb, gutter, and
sidewalk on the 800 block of Pepper St- still nothing, same thing with the
East side of the 1300 block of Peach St- Again nothing! It's unsafe to walk
in the street, other properties have installed sidewalks. Look at all the dirt
that runs into intersections of Pepper and Palm St after a rain! The City
had the money at the time- where did it go? It's still a safety issue. Fix
before someone gets hurt and sues!

Question 3
I believe this survey is futile, as we've seen in recent years. But I echo
many who have lived here thru entire careers & family raising- kept SLO a
beautiful & wonderful city, til now. Not sure where this belongs, but a need
exists to focus on something other than college age and tourists. SLO
wasn't always a bar and boutique town- it actually focused on middle age
and elderly too.... think about it, all the ones ruining what was great will
also become elderly - there is a population here that, at advance ages has
contributed much to SLO over their many years here- no one brought in
outside big money & that kept SLO sane. Sadly, the ones in charge today
have thumbed the likes of marvelous city leaders as Ken Schwartz & the
many with his good sense. Lived here 51 years & very disappointed in
recent & rampage "big money" changes.

Question 3
Downtown is now a beautiful replica of urban "anywhere city". It's a
shame the charm has been removed/replaced by bars and chain stores. It
used to be fun strolling downtown. Not so much now. My perception-
greed and fees to full city coffers. Too bad.
Stop funding discretionary projects, until you get the city's fiscal health
back in the black! Stop giving away our land and dollars through
developer incentives that cost local taxpayers real money but receive
slight benefit. New development should pay for water sewer needs as well
as roads. Deal with salaries, benefits and pension liability. They're an
albatross around the city's neck and limit your options.

If we can't afford it, we have to wait or re-prioritize. Council must be

community so our services and infrastructure should be modern, safe,

Housing- if you take care of growth management shouldn't need to build

Neighborhood wellness- Cal Poly takeover of Foothill area. Public school
over-enrollment and effects on neighborhood residents. Ex: Bishop's Peak
elementary school is taking out of neighborhood students- enrollment is
too high and the traffic, noise etc. has effect on homeowners surrounding
the school. Thank you for opportunity to have a say.
What are the new projects? I don't think we need anymore new projects.
They City needs to stabilize and provide services to support all the new
that has happened i.e. traffic, roads, homelessness, schools,
neighborhoods, local business support. SLO is becoming overpopulated,
congested and in a constant state of construction= resident frustration
and neglect. Thank you!

I would argue that the current city goal of "Housing" should include
airport noise abatement. There are many new housing developments
going in very close to the airport in addition to mature neighborhoods
existing within the noise contours. The airport has added many flights and
has larger jets flying in and out of the airport early and later in the day.
There are also Federal funds available to help offset costs for such noise
abatement projects. Thanks!

Prioritize!
First focus on fiscal health and then the infrastructure that will support
new housing and increased density in the urban core and along key transit
routes and push for multi-modal transportation between the areas with
greatest residential density and the core employment areas. Increasing
density within our existing urban footprint, more housing near jobs and
making it easier to not commute by car will lead to the goals of the

Question 3
Cut staff in half and get back to providing basic health and safety services
like smooth and safe sidewalks, sewers that aren't always overflowing,
cops that enforce the law fairly instead of having one "law" for drivers and
another for bicyclists. The council should respect ALL the people who live
here, not just millennials. Respect our natural resource limits instead of
pretending they don't exist and resorting to costly temporary
workarounds that drive up the cost of living here and decrease our quality
of life.

Question 3
First, current expenses must be met with current income. Taxes, fees,
parking charges, etc are already excessive. It's time to lower the water
rather than raise the bridge.
Second, any long-term expenses, eg pension issues amortization, etc,
must be realistically included in current budget.
Third, extreme caution must be exercised before any new project or
expense is added to the budget. If so, meeting the expense must be
clearly identified and presented at the same time as the proposal.
Fourth, City Council Meetings require strict time management.
Democracy is not well-served after 9pm!

Question 3
Work with CalPoly on their student parking issues. Each quarter,
students turn neighborhood streets into parking lots, creating noise,
congestion, and inconvenience for residents. Build parking lots and
establish a shuttle system for them, preferably on campus land. Also,
vacant lots near campus, away from neighborhoods, could be used for
this purpose instead of building crappy, low-budget apartment buildings
that create even more congestion, property devaluation, and changes the
character of the town for the worse. If the city wants more people, if
CalPoly wants more students and the $$ that comes with them, set up
accommodations for them that doesn't negatively effect those already
here.

heights. All of the current development places our tourist character at
risk. Preserve what we have! Tourism will increase if SLO remains unique.

Commission! Before initiating any new priorities, the City Council out
to/should complete old priorities! A properly appointed Open Space
Commission could help buffer the City Council from the increasing
demands of recreationists who feel that open space should be subject to
their every new whim without considering the very reasons that open
space program was created in the first place - for passive recreation that
would not disturb the creatures therein!

friendly assets to beautify, green, and nature - enhance our city.
Have all future commercial building approvals come with a contingency
for green fees used to offset their consumption of land/space/energy
with open space/paths/trees/water features etc.
The entire Costco/Home Depot development should have paid for a bike
path along the Irish Hills to Los Osos or from SLO to Avila Beach (If the

Question 3
* Priorities sheet unmarked and instead sent with letter:
Affordable housing stimulated by a "Vacancy Tax"
I think the city should look into a vacancy tax. Any residential housing
units within the city limits that stand vacant for a period of time more
than 6 months shall be subject to a tax in an amount that would
encourage them to occupy or rent the unit out.
I know of several units that are within a few blocks of my old town
residence that have sat empty for years. These structures hurt my
neighborhood's quality and attract undesirable nuisance. Many need
repair. If the repairs are too great, these structures should be torn down
and removed. Blight. Many cities in the USA demand removal of
dilapidated structures.
Also many houses are zoned multi-residential and have "granny" units
which sit vacant. A tax of say $200 month would open these units up.
There are a lot of potential units in the city, as much as 5 to 10% or even
more. More units on the market is an increase in supply and thus should
result in lower cost.
This would probably need to be a proposition and put to vote, but it would
have a long-term positive effect on the city should it pass.
This vacancy tax could be expanded to retail/commercial structures, or
even restricted to just commercial areas. As brick and mortar stores fall
prey to online sales commercial vacancy rates are going to increase even
more than they are now. Any through inspection of our commercial
centers will show at present a huge number of empty space. Allowing
economical conversion to housing is an excellent way to increase
affordable housing with out city. The increase potential of housing units is
even greater within commercial space areas than that of the residential
areas. Any prudent investor would convert rather than pay a vacancy tax
on top of not getting any rent.
Potentially adding 25% + to the housing stock without taxing resources,
(no new footprints).
Reuse, recycle, and rethink about what we have.

•Current Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation (Prioritize
implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the
Short-Range Transit Plan)
•Current Major City Goal: Climate Action (Implement the Climate Action
Plan, carbon neutral by 2035 target, and complete a Green House Gas

•Water Management
Question 3
Think long term. I am more than disappointed at seeing improvements
that will only have to be improved upon more in the near future. Take, for
example, the Laurel Street corridor. If the city is really taking citizen
(including pedestrians and cyclists) safety seriously, the current
improvement has failed. Listen to people who have knowledge on the
subjects and look to towns that have made serious improvements.
"Rushing" to get something done, only to be done poorly is a waste of
community resources.

You list housing as a "current major city goal". A very large housing
increase is currently happening on the south side of town. Such a large
increase in population without an increase in water resources is
irresponsible - especially with anticipated climate change related drought
conditions. The increase in development and housing has already
impacted traffic, especially on South Broad. To create such a large
increase in housing without appropriate infrastructure is irresponsible. I
do not support the large increase in housing and having it be a "major city
goal".

Use any transportation funds for widening our streets--no more new bike

SLO should make smarter tree selection choices by using the OPALS
Plant-allergy scale . At the same time, a ban ought to be placed on
planting any more of the most allergenic trees in SLO.
Why? Some trees and bushes used in landscapes cause allergies or
asthma. At the same time there are certain trees (certainly any that are
all-female) that never produce any pollen, ever. These same female trees
also trap and remove pollen from the air. If you Google “OPALS Plant-
allergy scale” you find that there is a long-recognized numerical plant-
allergy scale that the City can use for guidance.

Many sustainability goals have strong ROI over the long (and often short)

Don't implement the new surveillance cameras. These are unnecessary

Taxes on tourism to the area.
Promote actual affordable housing. This will increase tax base and help
city to meet sustainability goals by reducing commute.
Services that help both locals and tourists to travel sustainably (e-bike
share with drop off and pickup at main points such as train station, Cal
Poly, downtown, etc.). Note: NOT scooters - these are dangerous
because many people ride them on the sidewalk and pedestrian areas
instead of in bike lanes. In addition, there are no set pickup/drop off
areas, so they become a public nuisance and are left all over the place.
These have had a severely negative impact on pedestrian areas in other
cities.

HUNDREDS AND PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF HOUSES YOU ALL HAVE
APPROVED. Very shortsided to just build without sufficient
infrastructure. In fact it appears the city is trying to pay its pensions
through fees and ? from developers who will build here whether there is
water OR infrastructure.
Please stop building until this city is properly regulated with respect to

Question 1
•I work in the City of San Luis Obispo.
•I play (recreate, shop, eat, etc.) in the City of San Luis Obispo.
Question 2
•Current Major City Goal: Housing (Facilitate increased production of all
housing types designed to be economically accessible to the area
workforce and low and very low-income residents)
•Current Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation (Prioritize
implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the
Short-Range Transit Plan)
•Neighborhood Wellness
•Growth Management
•Economic Development
Question 3
As we focus on economic/workforce development for spouses of
professionals we recruit to the area, will solidify the turnover of primary
recruits. Also, as there is a greater focus on two income household
policies, tax basis will increase providing greater fiscal benefits to support
the County budget. Ways to approach this is to give a preference hiring
point to people who live locally for at least one taxation cycle (i.e. one
year). We need to fully employ those who live locally before we hire
outside of SLO.

•Other - high density and high (as in vertical!) housing with businesses
at base
Question 3
High-rise, mixed-use housing imposes less infrastructure cost to cities,
makes green-house goals easier to achieve, gets people out of their cars
and onto their feet & bicycles, increases the tax base, and allows those
who work in a place to also live there. On the downside, site-lines and the
homey feel of S.L.O. would change, but building suburban hell will also do
that while also increasing costs to the City and County and making S.L.O.
yet another victim of the car.

tighter controls and taxes levied on new construction and development
that ensure they pay for all immediate needs of the area they effect but
also significantly contribute to the impact the particular project has to the
'city systems' as a whole. e.g. Ensuring a large block of housing not only
covers the immediate needs of water but significantly contributes
towards the future development of larger supply/waste infrastructure
needed as the city continues to grow.

Concentrate on interrelated and complementary goals that can enhance
each other in creative ways. For example, supporting a multi-modal
transportation plan that better values bicycles and pedestrians and
reduces automotive traffic contributes to climate goals, neighborhood
health, downtown health, fiscal goals (by enhancing tourism and
attracting businesses that hire), etc. Using a lens like this to prioritize
projects can yield a better return on investment than an approach that
looks at each in isolation.

Question 3
You can start taxing homeless people. All we need is to outline the new
rules: anyone who is found sleeping on public or private property that is
not their own shall be taxed or given a citation of $50. This will incentivize
them to get jobs and permanent places of residence. Once they have
achieved the goals set out in the new homeless taxation plan, they shall
no longer be subject to taxation. If they cannot handle the new taxation
and feel the city’s rules are too onerous for them they shall leave.

2019-21 Community Priorities Survey
What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21?
•Current Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation (Prioritize
implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the
Short-Range Transit Plan)
•Open Space Preservation
•Addressing Homelessness
•Infrastructure Maintenance (such as roads, sidewalks, and bike paths)
•Public Safety
Question 3
Communication is vital throughout this process! I would recommend
engaging volunteers and Chamber of Commerce members to assist with
education and outreach, while the city adjusts current projects. For
instance, trained volunteers could assist in addressing our homeless
population. Are there ways we can share locations of resources and
warming stations, etc? As a new resident of SLO, I was shocked at the
number of homeless, especially in Laguna Lake Park (an area that does
not appear to be patrolled frequently by police). Community volunteers
could have a major impact in helping our homeless population and
improving public safety. (I'd like to help, but I haven't come across any
information from the city on how to help.) There should be more we can
do that does not cost money! **Also, improving our Bike rating to
"Platinum" would have a dynamic impact on tourism and people
commuting in the city. Some of the action items to accomplish this are
free. My family and I moved to SLO because it is a bike friendly city... we'd
love to see this continue to be a city-wide priority!

I would suggest that the city review the current “bed tax”. With the two
new upscale hotels opening soon in downtown and new visitors expected,

Question 3
Focus on the basic things that local government has traditionally provided
- fire, police, roads, water, etc. Climate and development of housing are
examples of topics where the city has neither the budget nor the
expertise, nor is it in the proper role to be efficient or effective. Fiscal
constraints will grow more severe with closing of Diablo Canyon and
wrestling with imprudent public pensions, etc.

Question 3
Affordable housing would allow more people who work in SLO to live also
in SLO, which should help increase tax revenue right? More sales tax's
and more property taxes (for new properties). I have what pretty much
anyone would consider a "good" job, and I'm seriously considering moving
out of town. There's just no way Ill ever be able to afford a home here

Decrease number of staff and don’t spend huge amounts of money on
things like research as to whether or not SLO should allow residents o do
Airbnb. If people didn’t have to jump through the hoops to get permits for
short term rental, the City could collect the taxes. But the amount of
money that was spent on the development of all the rules and
requirements was insane.
We need one more bicycle or foot police person to nab all the texting
drivers. I see one every day. The money collected in fines would more
than pay for the salary, and the overflow could be added to the coffers. In
fact, make the fine $500.

To much development, to much emphasis on homeless with disregard for
residents, to much emphasis on low cost housing with destruction of city
views and character, developers and students seem to be priority rather
than home owners and neighborhoods, to much emphasis on “climate
change”. Concentrate on maintaining city services and fiscal
responsibility. Homeless a problem when you become a “welcoming city”
you attract more homeles.

on private property
•Other - Dense housing in downtown isn't 'affordable' housing...why is
that? Prices start at $800k for the 'privilege' to live downtown.
•Other - Re: City buses - why don't you run smaller buses (ie:
RideShare) instead of the full size which are never full of riders.
Smaller, electric vehicles, would be more cost efficient vs a double-
decker bus - which I haven't seen running lately...
Question 3
Sticking to the City BUDGET will have to be #1 Priority...that's how you
adjust projects - if it's not within the budget - you can't do it. Households
deal with it all the time - I still reconcile my checkbook every month, like
millions of others - that's being responsible and if the City can't be
responsible with the money of it's citizens...time for new leadership, don't
you think? And that leads me to > more bike lanes will only make sense if
you have (MANY = hundreds) people using them....do not spend money
and inconvenience neighborhoods for a handful (compared to the
population) that will use them. You represent the many, not the few...

Question 3
Require higher fees from developers for "small" projects that have not
been subject to fees to support infrastructure needs. Reduce City funds
to Downtown and send to neighborhoods. Look harder for grants.
Infrastructure should include traffic lights and traffic calming---part of
pedestrian safety, one of the current Big 5. Encourage public transit use
by deploying many more small buses and vans that operate on frequent
schedules, e.g. 2-3 times an hour from neighborhoods to Downtown.
People don't leave their cars unless there are reliable, convenient
alternatives. We don't have them.

Question 3
The city should push for Cal Poly to realize its 2035 Master Plan goal of
putting close to 50% of students in student housing. In order for this to
be successful the city should consider higher density, multi-use zoning
near campus to encourage off-campus students to live closer to the
campus core, decreasing their traffic footprint and opening up residential
areas in other parts of the city.
Furthermore the city should continue to improve its public transit
services as a well maintained and used transit system will do more to
reduce traffic and pollution than can realistically be accomplished by
bikes. Climate action is important but many of the city's goals are
unrealistic - the vision for the role of bicycles is overly optimistic in a
geographic area which is frankly too hilly to support mass use like is
envisioned for the city. Carbon emission is less important than other
forms of pollutants as the city is generally non-industrial. Soil erosion,
light/noise pollution, street runoff, recycling support are all more tangible
ways to improve the cities ecological responsibility while not off putting
citizens.
The police need a renovated police station, putting off the costs today
only increases them in the future and serves as a detriment to law
enforcement effectiveness. Investing in 21st century technology to reduce
crime is paramount - particularly the city should employ license plate
cameras on highways in and out of the city to detect wanted persons
coming in and out of the city, catching or at least deterring traffickers
traveling between southern and northern CA should be something which
will improve the city's crime rate and assist a greater reduction in crime.
Programs with fraternities should continue to reduce noise violations
which is a minor but still important objective.

2019-21 Community Priorities Survey
What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21?
Increasing sales tax would be the best way to off set the costs the city has
in obligations to its staff and the obligation it has to proactively be
engaged in community development. Sales tax utilizes tourists as a tax
base for the city which offsets costs to residents. Excise taxes and more
expensive alcohol licenses should be a way to raise revenue and create an
environment more family friendly and cost affordable for students to
come to the downtown.
Stricter regulations need to be placed upon landlords who are able to put
off improvements because of the high demand for housing of any
condition in the city, affordable housing should continue to be a priority
and creating requirements for developers to improve, make more
beautiful, the immediate environment which they enter is the best way to
defuse NIMBY'ers.
Homelessness is a major concern for residents as regardless of the
numbers their presence in the downtown makes citizens feel
uncomfortable and leaves a negative impression upon people visiting the
city. Solutions are hard to come by, engaging with County mental health
services and deterring their presence in the downtown which will reduce
the desire to inhabit SLO.
The developments downtown should continue but parking structures do
need to be made available for tourists to discourage street parking.
Further developments should focus on widening the downtown rather
than raising it above 5 stories. Mixed use building philosophy should be
used as the downtown moves across Santa Rosa St.
Thank you to all the city staff who are often unappreciated by residents
for the hard work and civil service they do.

•I live in the City of San Luis Obispo.
•I work in the City of San Luis Obispo.

Question 3
Consider a tax, much like Measure G that would help support these goals.
I also think that while, we as citizens, should have a say in our priorities,
we should allow our elected officials and staff to implement and
determine the how we get to the outcome/goal -- that why we vote and
that's why professional staff are hired. At times, there seems to be too
much allowed -- or maybe it's timing -- in terms of community members
trying to dictate and change the outcomes that have been guided by the
goals.

Question 3
Ah, the old "I don't want my taxes dollars spent on that" discussion. I will
try to refrain.
Increased revenue
- Become a self-help county. While not directly a city initiative, the city
could show a hypothetical budget if it passed and create a numbers
graphic illustrating a cost per person or cost per household or whatever

makes sense. Then people might better be able to determine if they think
it is worth it.
- I like the idea of leveraging the tourism in downtown. I am not sure how
this is best done (bed tax, sales tax, parking, etc) but it should be
considered. However, if these will just drive the tourists to stay in other
beach cities or out of the county all together they should be considered
carefully.
- I am not sure how the Cal Poly/Cuesta students could be contributing.
Seems appropriate that they "pay their fair share" but as a population,
they infuse the city with gobs of money.
- Prop 13 definitely slows down the funding but that is a state issue with
lots of history and not a city level item.
- Maybe the downtown association could charge a building vacancy tax so
leaving a building vacant and waiting for a big tenant is not so appealing. I
don't think those buildings were built on the expectation of getting $10-
30k/month per store. That may not affect the city's budget.
- whatever happened to redline cameras? Maybe we can capitalize on our
new commuter traffic problem. I understand there is a legal issue. Can we
not just make it a none moving violation like a parking ticket?
Cost reduction
- change the road paving schedule. I am not sure what rotation they are
on now. Say 20 years. Change it to 25 years. Or require the company that
paves the street to pay for all road repairs for 30 years. Maybe they will
stop cutting corners. Works in Germany. I am sure there is some reason
this doesn't work in the US.
- Trim the fat. All but the most efficient organizations have people they
could lose. I understand the unions protect all employees but I expect the
city has people that are being allowed to continue because of the
administrative burden of firing someone with union protection. All
breakups hurt. Get it done.
- Reviewing the budget, the largest chunk goes to staffing and "other
operating expenditures" (not sure what that is). Do we set recruiting staff
pay based on "like counties" or "what it costs to live here" or "what it
takes to get a good person" or something else? It is long acknowledged
that the private sector employees pay "the paradise tax" to live in SLO -
meaning the pay is bad and the cost of living is high. With so few openings
at the city and what appears to be low turn-over, I would suggest people
are paid too much, but city staff can review the data. Sorry city staff. I do
love your work :)
- What is "fiscal health and governance"? 20% out of the general fund
seems like a lot. Corporate equivalent sounds like SG&A (sales and
general administration) and we aim for <10%.
- I know we all need police and fire but is it really this expensive. How did
my hometown (I know only 15,000 people) get by with volunteers? If the
firefighters are mostly paramedics why not give them a prius to drive
around in? 2 goes go on the prius call and 2 guys stay at the firehouse in-
case there is an actual fire they can meet at the fire.
- What portion of the police are spent handling downtown events? Are the
downtown business/real estate owners paying their fair portion?
Everyone's tax dollars pay for things they don't want and others do want.
Let's share kindly.

Question 3
Dear Mayor Harmon and Council Members:
For your consideration, the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors respectfully submits
our recommendations for the City’s 2019-21 Major City Goals. Consistent
with input that the Chamber has
provided in recent years, these key business community priorities were
determined after extensive work,
discussion and evaluation by multiple Chamber committees and our
Board, involving more than 80 member

volunteers.
Informed by the Chamber’s Economic Vision, Imagine San Luis Obispo,
our top priorities focus on
investments that unlock our ability to build a more complete, safe and
fiscally sustainable city that houses
more of its workforce.
With the impending Diablo Canyon Closure, it is more important than ever
to actively create the future we
seek; our collective success depends on furthering sustainable solutions
that support healthy economic
growth and ensure community resiliency.
Our recommendations for the City’s investment of time, money and
resources during the 2019-21 budget
cycle include:
FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY
• Continue the fiscal responsibility philosophy with a focus on economic
development and
responsiveness, unfunded liabilities, and infrastructure financing
• Responsibly pay down the City’s unfunded liabilities and address
escalating costs
• Explore opportunities to partner with other municipalities for shared
delivery of governmental
services to efficiently address challenges such as housing, infrastructure,
transportation, water,
energy and disaster preparedness
CLIMATE ACTION
Update the City’s Climate Action Plan with a focus on:
• Decrease commuting impacts by investing in infrastructure necessary
to build new housing
and expand access to alternative transportation
• Address CO2 reductions through incentivizing energy efficiency
upgrades and on-site energy
production for existing structures
HOUSING
• Invest in infrastructure that will unlock opportunities to build more
homes such as Prado Road
overpass and Tank Farm Road improvements
• Establish and measure success in achieving long-term housing goals
• Facilitate increased production of all housing types by approving vertical
mixed use, prioritizing
higher density housing, infill development, and increased building heights
where appropriate to
minimize sprawl
• Proactively support Cal Poly’s Master Plan to build more on-campus
housing
MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION
• Invest in critical transportation infrastructure that facilitates safe
multimodal movement in support
of expanded housing choice and business development
• Complete major transit infrastructure such as Prado Road overpass and
widening of Tank Farm Road
to decrease commute time and traffic
• Greater focus on expanding transit capacity and routes
• Leverage existing and new funds to build new infrastructure
• Support policies that improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and
drivers
These Major City Goals are naturally intertwined, and we urge you to
prioritize work programs that address
the areas of overlap to make the most efficient and economical
progress.
Thank you for your consideration of these suggested Major City Goals and
for inviting input from the
business community. The SLO Chamber’s recommendations reflect our
continued focus on making longterm
investments and informed fiscal decisions that are intended to support a
balanced and prosperous
community for generations to come.
We look forward to participating in the Community Forum on January
23rd and believe these priorities will
ensure a sustainable and prosperous economic future for those who live
and work here.
Sincerely,
Clint Pearce
2019 Board Chair

I would rank downtown vitality and alternate transportation as above

Question 3
If the city were to pass a law stating that those who purchase single-
family housing units must live in them for at least 5 years, there would be
fewer cases of people purchasing homes in new developments as
vacation homes or rental units. This would mean more homes would be
available to people who actually live, or wish to live, here rather than those
who simply want to make money on our high home prices, thus raising
supply and lower demand.

2019-21 Community Priorities Survey
What are the most important priorities for the City in 2019-21?
If the city were to pass a law stating 50% (or any defined percentage) of
new homes in any development must be sold to people who already live in
city/county, there would be less competition from those who wish to
retire/own a vacation home here and therefore drive the price beyond the
reach of most current residents. Instead, people who already live here but
are unable to afford a home because they must compete with upper class
people from all over the country would have an opportunity to afford to
purchase a home. Even if many could still not purchase a home, the rental
homes vacated by those who could would be available to others.
Both of these options, individually or together, have the potential to
greatly reduce the housing crisis this city faces. Neither would cost the
city more than the few moments of time to review the proof they have
been followed, and in the case of the first, the fines that could be levied if
the buyer moved early could generate income to cover all of the time and
the new priorities. Moreover, unlike everything else the city has done
about the housing crisis in the last two years, it would be affective making
more money and time available for other projects.

Question 3
Addressing homelessness- cut funding and services to reduce the pull
factor that brings in more homeless individuals to SLO. Change focus of
policing to managing and reducing the homeless population rather than
accommodating their every request. This will improve the city's
neighborhoods and the overall economic situation by making SLO a more
attractive and safer environment for those who actually live and pay taxes
there. It also might help fill the many vacant storefronts downtown if the
streets are cleaner and more welcoming.

Question 3
The city can be more business friendly to court new job opportunities to
bring in tax revenue and help offset Diablo. Work with businesses to
expand and grow. Some roadworks projects aren't on the worst roads, so
spend the money where it is needed. Also hold contractors to higher
standards to ensure better quality work that will last longer. Without an
intimate knowledge of operations it would be hard to give better
suggestions.
