▪ SLO County market conditions do not support new for-sale housing at prices affordable to moderate-income households, with the possible exception of manufactured housing in parks
▪ A few developments have attempted to produce ABD for-sale housing, but even with very small homes, prices are still too high for the moderate-income target price range.
▪ Factors that make for-sale housing more affordable in other areas may not translate to the SLO County market (lower land cost, no parking, few amenities, micro units)

CFI Program investments will make modern and sustainable infrastructure accessible to all drivers of electric, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas vehicles. This program provides two funding categories of grants: (1) Community Charging and Fueling Grants (Community Program); and (2) Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants (Corridor Program). The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $2.5 billion over five years for this program. This first round of funding makes $700 million from Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 funding available to strategically deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and other fueling infrastructure projects in urban and rural communities in publicly accessible locations, including downtown areas and local neighborhoods, particularly in underserved and disadvantaged communities. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environ

AD Congestion Mitigation
and Air Quality Improvement (CMQA)
Call for projects Summer 2023
Yes The main goal of the CMAQ program is to fund transportation projects that reduce regulated emissions associated with carbon monoxide, ozone and particulate matter pollution in nonattainment and maintenance areas, often through congestion mitigation techniques. In addition to reducing regulated emissions, congestion relief can reduce travel delays, engine idle time and unproductive fuel consumption. So even though reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not a goal of the CMAQ program, such reductions may be achieved as an ancillary benefit.
Funnels through SLOCOG; Worth it if you can make a case for the the costeffectiveness of the proposed project in terms of cost per pound (or ton) of pollutants reduced. You can use the provided calculator tool to assess project viability before starting an application (must have MS Access to access the calculator tool, FYI). https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/

2023 HIP Appendix E
Regional Vision for Housing
In early 2020, local agencies adopted a San Luis Obispo Countywide Regional Compact to establish a united regional framework to unlock our potential to develop an adequate supply of housing and infrastructure that support our economic prosperity.
1. Overview
San Luis Obispo County is a rural coastal county with seven vibrant cities and numerous unincorporated communities that depend on collaborative relationships between and among government agencies, community organizations, and residents to solve the region’s significant issues including inadequate supply of affordable housing and resilient water, wastewater, and transportation infrastructure and resources.
The County and all seven Cities are working collaboratively to develop the region’s first Regional Infrastructure and Housing Strategic Action Plan (Regional Plan) that will identify actions to address these issues. A key component of the Regional Plan is the integration of efforts to address critical housing and related infrastructure needs. As part of the Housing Element update process, representatives of the County, seven Cities and San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) developed this chapter to showcase the ongoing commitment of each agency to this collaborative effort. This Chapter presents a regional vision and policies focused specifically on fostering regional collaboration to plan and develop housing and supportive infrastructure.
2. Alignment with Regional Compact
This effort is guided by the San Luis Obispo Countywide Regional Compact (Regional Compact). The Regional Compact, adopted by each jurisdiction in early 2020, outlines six shared regional goals to guide collaborative resolution of underlying housing and infrastructure needs:
Goal 1. Strengthen Community Quality of Life – We believe that our Region’s quality of life depends on four cornerstones to foster a stable and healthy economy for all: resilient infrastructure and resources, adequate housing supply, business opportunities, and educational pathways.
Goal 2. Share Regional Prosperity – We believe that our Region should share the impacts and benefits of achieving enduring quality of life among all people, sectors and interests.
Goal 3. Create Balanced Communities – We believe that our Region should encourage new development that helps to improve the balance of jobs and housing throughout the Region, providing more opportunities to residents to live and work in the same community. 2023 HIP Appendix E
Goal 4. Value Agriculture & Natural Resources – We believe that our Region’s unique agricultural resources, open space, and natural environments play a vital role in sustaining healthy local communities and a healthy economy, and therefore should be purposefully protected.
Goal 5. Support Equitable Opportunities – We believe that our Region should support policies, actions, and incentives that increase housing development of all types, available to people at all income levels.
Goal 6. Foster Accelerated Housing Production – We believe that our Region must achieve efficient planning and production of housing and focus on strategies that produce the greatest impact.
3. Policies
It will take regional collaboration and local actions to realize the vision and goals outlined in the Regional Compact. Below is an initial list of aspirational regional policies that further the Regional Compact vision, in addition to local policies. By listing these below, it does not mandate any individual agency to implement actions, but rather offers ways that the County, cities, SLOCOG, and other partners can consider moving forward, together. In addition, and consistent with each Housing Element cycle, each of the seven cities and the County has the opportunity to choose to implement local policies and programs that help to support their achievement of its RHNA, and if an agency chooses to, can also support the Regional Compact vision and goals in a way that works for its jurisdiction and community. See Section B for local programs and policies for Atascadero’s anticipated actions during this Housing Element cycle.
R-1: Promote awareness and support of regional efforts that further housing and infrastructure resiliency by utilizing community engagement, and consistent and transparent communication.
R-2: Encourage an adequate housing supply and resilient infrastructure, services, and resources to improve the balance of jobs and housing throughout the Region.
R-3: Develop inter-agency partnerships as appropriate to implement goals and policies related to housing and infrastructure.
R-4: Coordinate State, Federal, and other funding opportunities for housing and infrastructure development throughout the Region.
R-5: Encourage developers to sell newly constructed housing units to individuals residing or employed within the area of the development (a city or the County) first before selling to individuals from outside the County, to promote local preference.
R-6: Encourage rental units be prioritized for long term residents rather than short term users or vacation rentals.
2023 HIP Appendix E
R-7: Support housing development that is located within existing communities and strategically planned areas.
R-8: Encourage regional collaboration on a menu of housing types, models, and efforts to support streamlined approvals for such developments (i.e. Accessory Dwelling Units, etc.).
4. Moving Forward
The County, cities, SLOCOG, and other partners engaged in housing and infrastructure development will continue to collaborate on efforts moving forward – recognizing the benefits of working together to achieve an enduring quality of life among the region’s people, sectors and interests. This ongoing collaboration will include learning from each other and sharing possible tools, policies and actions that can allow the collective region to move towards our adopted Regional Compact vision. Ongoing collaborative efforts will be described in the Regional Plan, anticipated to be complete in 2021, and related regional efforts will live outside of each individual agency’s Housing Element. 2023 HIP Appendix E
Our region has strategic goals for the future of housing and infrastructure, but they can only be achieved through the decisions and actions of organizations and stakeholders. The stakeholder meetings are designed to have honest conversations about what each organization can and needs to do to realize those goals. Key stakeholders include:
HIP Steering Committee
Formed to oversee the vision for the HIP Outreach Strategy and to bring leaders in each of these areas together, aligning and integrating the various interests that will lead to action on the region’s priorities.
Regional Managers/ Key Staff
A key driving force behind developing this plan has been regional leadership, including eight City Managers, County Administrative Officer, SLOCOG Executive Director (and key directors from their organizations).
Elected Officials
Two City Council Members with knowledge of regional differences will bring the various perspectives and concerns voiced by their respective constituents for this Steering Committee. The full 40 elected officials within the region will have an opportunity to hear about the plan through public updates to SLOCOG Board as well as through presentations of the recommended HIP to their Councils and Boards in Summer 2023.
Building & Development Cluster
Leaders in the building and development industry that convene quarterly with the goal of regional coordination focused on aligning housing and infrastructure needs to create a strong local economy.
Housing Advocacy Group
Organizations and individuals that have significant influence in the community, with representation from the non-profit builders, local chambers of commerce and various advocate organizations.
Housing Action Team
Existing work group made up of planning/ community development staff from Cities, County, and SLOCOG.
Community Stakeholders
The broader community will be engaged in partnership with the SLO Chamber of Commerce Housing Summit in Spring 2023. Feedback from this event will be brought to the HIP Steering Committee to discuss and adjust the communications plan accordingly. Page 439 of 467
Item 7b
Department: Police
Cost Center: 8002
For Agenda of: 7/11/2023
Placement: Public Hearing
Estimated Time: 30 minutes
FROM: Rick Scott, Police Chief
Prepared By: Melissa Ellsworth, Senior Administrative Analyst SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES CONTRACT
RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the Chief of Police and the City Manager to enter into an agreement with private entities, non-profit organizations, and private schools to provide supplemental law enforcement services on an occasional or ongoing basis; and
2. Approve a Draft Resolution titled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, California, authorizing contracts to provide Supplemental Law Enforcement Services.”
POLICY CONTEXT
Per Government Code, 53069.8. (a) The board of supervisors of any county may contract on behalf of the sheriff of that county, and the legislative body of any city may contract on behalf of the chief of police of that city, to provide supplemental law enforcement services to:
(1) Private individuals or private entities to preserve the peace at special events or occurrences that happen on an occasional basis.
(2) Private non-profit corporations that are recipients of federal, state, county, or local government low-income housing funds or grants to preserve the peace on an ongoing basis.
(3) Private entities at critical facilities on an occasional or ongoing basis. A “critical facility” means any building, structure, or complex that in the event of a disaster, whether natural or manmade, poses a threat to public safety, including, but not limited to, airports, oil refineries, and nuclear and conventional fuel powerplants. (4) Private schools, private colleges, or private universities on an occasional or ongoing basis.
(b) Contracts entered into pursuant to this section shall provide for full reimbursement to the county or city of the actual costs of providing those services, as determined by the county auditor or auditor-controller, or by the city, as the case may be.
Item 7b
(c) (1) The services provided pursuant to a contract authorized pursuant to paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subdivision (a) shall be rendered by regularly appointed full-time peace officers, as defined in Section 830.1 of the Penal Code. For purposes of a contract authorized pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision (a), services may be rendered by any category of peace officer including reserve peace officers, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 830.6 of the Penal Code, who are authorized to exercise the powers of a peace officer, as defined in Section 830.1 of the Penal Code, upon mutual agreement between the provider and the private school, private college, or private university.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), services provided in connection with special events or occurrences, as specified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), may be rendered by Level I reserve peace officers, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 830.6 of the Penal Code, who are authorized to exercise the powers of a peace officer, as defined in Section 830.1 of the Penal Code, if there are no regularly appointed fulltime peace officers available to fill the positions as required in the contract. (d) Peace officer rates of pay shall be governed by a memorandum of understanding. (e) A contract entered into pursuant to this section shall encompass only law enforcement duties and not services authorized to be provided by a private patrol operator, as defined in Section 7582.1 of the Business and Professions Code. (f) Contracting for law enforcement services, as authorized by this section, shall not reduce the normal and regular ongoing service that the county, agency of the county, or city otherwise would provide.
(g) Prior to contracting for ongoing services under paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of subdivision (a), the board of supervisors or legislative body, as applicable, shall discuss the contract and the requirements of this section at a duly noticed public hearing. (h) Nothing in this section shall prevent a police department appointed pursuant to either Section 72330, 89560, or 92600 of the Education Code, and certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training pursuant to Section 13551 of the Penal Code, from entering into agreements with private schools, private colleges, or private universities to provide law enforcement services.
DISCUSSION
Background
Recently, the department was contacted about providing law enforcement services at sporting events located on a private school campus. As outlined in the Government Code Section 53069.8, for the department to provide supplemental law enforcement services to private entities, City Council approval is required to authorize the Chief of Police and the City Manager to enter into a contract for said services.
Item 7b
The role of San Luis Obispo police officers assigned to such events shall be to enforce laws and applicable City ordinances and code provisions and to engage in other law enforcement activities that are within the regular scope and course of an officer’s law enforcement duties. Officers will also have opportunities to engage in community policing and foster relationships with various community members, while still providing a law enforcement presence.
Entities described in Government Code Section 53069.8 that enter into a contract with the police department in the form of the Agreement included as Attachment A will provide reimbursement to the City of San Luis Obispo for officers and vehicles assigned to the event, per the rates outlined in the Agreement. The term of the agreement will be for one year from the signing date and can be renewed for subsequent one-year terms upon mutual agreement between both parties.
Police department staff will fill requests to provide supplemental law enforcement services with on-duty officers or fill the request with overtime if needed. Requests for overtime will be filled based on departmental policy.
Public Engagement
This item is on the agenda for the July 11th, 2023, City Council meeting and will follow all required postings and notifications. The public may have an opportunity to comment on this item at or before the meeting.
CONCURRENCE
Finance concurs with staff’s request and has advised on use of the labor rates adopted by the City Council on May 16, 2023 to recover City costs for services provided to contracting entities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this report because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

There are no fiscal impacts directly associated with this item. Actual cost recovery through contracts for supplemental law enforcement services will depend upon hours worked and adopted labor rates in any given year.
Per Government Code, 53069.8, entities under contract for service shall provide for full reimbursement to the county or city of the actual costs of providing those services, as determined by the county auditor or auditor-controller, or by the city, as the case may be.
For the City of San Luis Obispo, the City Council adopts Labor Rates based on salary schedules and includes both direct and indirect costs, which results in an Hourly Billing Rate. Council recently adopted the FY 2023-24 Central Services Allocation Plan which includes the Cost of Services Allocation and Labor Rates on May 16, 2023. The City Council adopts labor rates each year and charges in future fiscal years will be based upon adopted labor rates for the applicable year.
The department will use the most current adopted Labor Rates to calculate Police Officer rates for reimbursement purposes. A flat rate for vehicles, which is outlined in the agreement, in the amount of $25.00 will be used. This is the same vehicle fee charged to public entities (such as Cal Poly).
ALTERNATIVE
Council could decide not to approve the contract. This action is not recommended by staff because private entities interested in entering into a contract for supplemental law enforcement services would reimburse the City for personnel costs assigned to the event.

If SLOPD cancels or reduces contracted law enforcement services for a Contracted Event, Organization shall only be responsible for payment for Officers and vehicles actually provided by SLOPD to the Contracted Event.
d. The role of Officers assigned to a Contracted Event shall be to enforce laws and applicable City ordinances and code provisions and to engage in other law enforcement activities that are within the regular scope and course of an Officer’s law enforcement duties. Assigned Officers shall perform law enforcement functions only under the direction and supervision of SLOPD in accordance with applicable legal standards and pursuant to SLOPD policies and directives. Assigned Officers shall not use their police authority to enforce Organization’s rules or disciplinary procedures.

6. GENERAL TERMS
a. It is understood by the Parties that the Department and its police officers do not owe a greater level of police services or protection under this Agreement than is owed to the public generally. b. Organization understands and agrees that SLOPD officers are encouraged by SLOPD and the City to actively seek positive ways to engage with the community. Officers shall not be placed in a position that is a threat to the status or dignity of SLOPD, the City, or the law enforcement profession, or, in the Officer’s or SLOPD’s opinion, is likely to introduce unnecessary tension with the community. c. No term or provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall create duties or obligations to, or rights in, any person or entity not a party this Agreement, or to affect the legal obligations or legal liability of either party by imposing any standard of care with respect to emergency services or other services that are different from the standard of care imposed by law. d.

Item 8a
Department: Public Works
Cost Center: 5101
For Agenda of: 7/11/2023
Placement: Study Session
Estimated Time: 45 Minutes
FROM: Matt Horn, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Gaven Hussey, Parking Program Manager
SUBJECT: COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF DEFERRED FORMATION OF NEW
PREFERENTIAL PARKING PERMIT DISTRICTS
RECOMMENDATION
Receive a presentation on the status of the Preferential Parking Permit District Program including issues facing the City’s Parking Services Program; and either:
1. Defer the establishment of new parking districts until Council provides direction on policy and program elements that were identified by the Access and Parking Management Plan. This action would require Council to adopt a Draft Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, California, temporarily deferring new Preferential Parking Permit Districts; or
2. Direct Staff to conduct outreach and return with a recommendation after outreach on next steps; or
3. Provide direction to staff to continue the Preferential Parking Permit District program under current adopted policies.
POLICY CONTEXT
California Vehicle Code (CVC) section 22507 allows local authorities, by Ordinance or Resolution, to establish preferential parking privileges for permitted residents, merchants, and their guests. City Council adopted, by Ordinance, Municipal Code sections 10.36.170 et seq. allowing for the establishment of preferential parking permit districts by Resolution.
City Council has the authority to determine the number of parking permits issued per addressed unit, the days, and hours that the permits are valid, and which type of properties are eligible to receive permits.
The Access and Parking Management Plan (APMP) provides the framework to develop strategies that align the Preferential Parking District Program with other City policies and Major City Goals. The updated APMP provides recommendations on policy revisions to correctly align the Preferential Parking Permit District Program with current utilization and community needs.
DISCUSSION
Item 8a
Parking District Historical Overview
The first preferential parking permit district was established in 1979 in what is referred to as the Alta Vista Parking District near the southern boundary of the Cal Poly campus. The intent of the district was to limit Cal Poly related parking in the neighborhood and to improve the overall ‘quality of life’ for the residents. Since then, the City has established eleven (11) additional parking districts, expanded existing districts multiple times, and received requests to establish many more. A map of the existing parking districts is included as Attachment B. Parking districts historically have been limited to areas that are predominately residential and participation is restricted to only residential properties with four or fewer units.
The four or fewer unit restriction aligns with the City’s Zoning Regulations, which require residential properties of more than four units to provide parking on-site for residents as well as guests (SLOMC 17.72.030). This limitation was a significant issue for the Dana Street neighborhood because there are five multi-family properties intermixed with singlefamily residential and commercial properties on that street. City Council developed a unique solution for this unique area at the March 2, 2021 Council meeting and introduced an ordinance amending the Municipal Code language to allow multi-family properties of five to eight units on Dana Street to participate in the parking district program and to receive permits.
Around the same time of the Council meeting, staff began to receive requests from business owners to establish a parking district in a non-residential area, the South Higuera, Tank Farm, and Suburban Road area. Council adopted changes to the Municipal Code to allow commercial properties the ability to participate and form Preferential Parking Permit Districts on February 15, 2022. Council took action again on April 19, 2022 by adopting an ordinance to allow for Limited Daytime Use Permits to address the needs of commercial properties in or directly adjacent to the Dana Street Parking District.
The unique needs of the Dana Street Preferential Parking Permit District and the inclusion of commercial properties in Preferential Parking Permit District led staff to consider possible revisions to the Preferential Parking Permit District Program which is a future work program item that is in the 2023 update to the Access and Parking Management Plan. The upcoming rate study in the fall of 2023 will also provide some insight into elements of the Preferential Parking Permit District Program, particularly around the equity and cost recovery of fees and a full work program task to analyze the existing Preferential Parking Permit District Program is not scheduled or forecasted at this time.
District Requests and Staff Resources
Parking Services Program typically receives four to six requests annually to form new Preferential Parking Permit Districts, with roughly twelve to twenty hours of staff time dedicated to outreach and planning associated with each initial district request depending on the proposed size and scope of the district. Typically, new district requests do not have adequate resident support and the process generally requires staff to provide two to three days of effort to this process regarding the formation of each district requested.
Item 8a
If the district receives initial resident approval, staff will spend an additional week and a half to two weeks time on summarizing the process for the district before it returns to Council for review and formation consideration.
If approved, additional staff time is then committed to implement the district, and notice residents of the approval and how to secure permits. Staff will spend an additional two to five days contracting and installing signage, and another week assisting with permit issuance, noticing, and response to inquiries. In total between seventeen and twentythree days of staff time are needed to support each new district. Staff also spend roughly three weeks annually maintaining and replacing Preferential Parking Permit District signage and between two to three weeks assisting with permit setup and issuance for all current districts. Formation of any new district is a time intensive effort.
Currently, the Parking Services Program has received six separate new Preferential Parking District requests this calendar year and has met with two groups that had sufficient resident support to begin discussions. A copy of the general areas (the boundaries have not been fully defined for each proposed district) are included as Attachment C. Through those discussions, both groups ultimately opted to try other methods and seek additional residential support before requesting to form a district.
Approximately six to nine months elapses from the time a request is received to when it is brought to Council for consideration. If approved, implementation of a new district or existing district expansion can take an additional three months depending on the availability of equipment and materials to establish a new district.
Deferral of New District Formation Requests
The Parking Services Program has struggled to keep up with the increase in petitions and necessary outreach for Preferential Parking Permit Districts this year. Revisions to the program could help reduce staff time committed to developing and guiding residents through the initial process of establishing eligibility to form districts. Strategies outlined in the Access and Parking Management Plan can help shape the criteria for establishing districts, but staff need to develop or revise policies to support these strategies and ensure that public space is more effectively used to support the whole community.
The Parking Services Program’s administrative staff that previously supported the districting process are primarily focused on aligning existing policies to those outlined in the Access and Parking Management Plan and modernization efforts that include the Cultural Arts District Parking Structure, renovation efforts to existing parking infrastructure, the gateless parking structures transition, virtual permitting, and implementation of tiered based parking options in the downtown.
In addition to the administrative support necessary to establish districts, the operation components relied on to support existing Preferential Parking Permit Districts time is in high demand. The Parking Services Program and Police Department staff that are used to enforce current district policies are relied on for more than just the districts and do not always have the bandwidth to properly enforce the existing area. Further district additions would reduce the current available resources even more and reduce the overall effectiveness of the purpose of the Preferential Parking District program.
Item 8a
Staff are focusing on returning to Council in late Spring of 2024 with revision to the Preferential Parking District program.
Public Engagement
Residents for a Quality Neighborhoods has been notified of this item and staff were working to arrange a meeting at the time of this report submittal.
CONCURRENCE
The City’s Police Department is supportive of the options regarding the formation of new Preferential Parking Permit Districts.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.

There are no direct operational costs associated with the temporary suspension of the formation of Preferential Parking Permit Districts, however there is a potential loss of future revenues associated with enforcing parking violation and permit issuance.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could choose to pursue one or more of the options listed in the recommendation. This is a policy matter and staff has laid out the existing work efforts underway and how deferring new districts could help focus parking services operations on important projects and programs that continue to need refinement.
