Ms. Velie,
The City of San Luis Obispo is in receipt of your request for public records, received June 5, 2019. We
understand you are seeking any records that show:
- What medical benefits has the Mayor elected to receive?
- If she elected not to receive medical benefits, is she receiving a cash option?
Records containing this information (medical benefits elections) are exempt from production under Gov. Code
6254(c) and will be withheld as such.
However, Mayor Harmon has authorized our office to share: Yes, she has elected to participate in the
insurance plans offered to her as an official of the City of San Luis Obispo including vision insurance. Section
2.2 on page 16 of the City Council Policies and Procedures Manual outlines the insurances available to the
Mayor and Council Members, and the City’s contribution towards that insurance:
2.2 RETIREMENT, MEDICAL, DENTAL, VISION AND LIFE INSURANCE
The Mayor and Council Members shall be entitled to City-funded participation in P.E.R.S. retirement.
The City shall contribute an amount equivalent to that received by City department heads monthly
towards the Mayor and Council Members participation in PEMCHA, dental, vision and life insurance.
Any unexpended amount shall not be distributed to the Mayor and Council Members in cash. If the
Mayor and Council Members elect to opt out of medical, dental and vision that individual member will
receive the opt out amount equal to City department heads.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Unless you indicate otherwise, with this response the
City will consider your request closed.
Thank you,

Karen,
In 2018 Council Considered GIA grants at their 08-21-2018 meeting, of which the Noor Foundation was an
applicant. Please see the Council Agenda Report at the following link:
http://opengov.slocity.org/weblink/1/doc/80553/Page1.aspx
The SLO Noor Clinic request and recommendation is listed on Page 7, item 24 - $7,500. Further, see page 15
– as it lists the 2016 and 2017 amounts.
Also for your reference, see the 08-21-2019 Minutes for Council action on the Agenda Item:
http://opengov.slocity.org/weblink/1,1,1/doc/83833/Page1.aspx
2019 GIA Grant amounts have not been brought to Council yet this year. Tonight, June 5th at 5:00 p.m., the
Human Relations Commission (HRC) will be hearing sub-committee recommendations for Grant amounts.
Linked is the Agenda, followed by the recommendations.

SLO Noor is on page 3, line 25
Any amounts approved by the HRC will then be brought to the City Council for final approval.
