Anti-ICE Destabilization
Lots of Anger – Little Resolution
Support for Housing 4-1 at the BoS
Finally – Water Moving in the Right Direction
The next San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors meeting will take place on Tuesday, February 10. The normal schedule of every other Tuesday was interrupted in January and February due to holidays, resulting in three meetings in a row. The concentration of those meetings results in a four-week gap, with the following next meeting occurring on March 10.
The February 10 agenda consists of mostly administerial items. There is one curious item that reads: “Submittal of a resolution to rescind the approval of the application of Austen Connella, SLO BF, Inc. for a Minor Use Permit (DRC2018-00228) and the Mitigated Negative Declaration associated therewith (Environmental Determination No. ED19-238).” It has to do with a cannabis permit, but details are sparce.
Another agenda item involves “a proposed subdivision resulting in eighty (80) lots, by Monarch Dunes, LLC, Delaware limited liability company; 2) approve the Open Space Agreement Granting Open-Space Easement to the County of San Luis Obispo; and 3) adopt the attached resolution accepting the Open Space Easement on Kingston Drive in the community of Woodlands.” No mention is made about low-income housing.
Still another curious item involves a homeowner on the coast of the Cayucos area wanting to build a seawall and offering to make a donation ($250,000) towards the restoration of a nearby beach access stairway as mitigation. There is no clear mention of where the remaining $1 million would come from to complete the project.
As always, we will keep you apprised of these, and any other key issues that arise within the workings of our county. |
Lots of Anger – Little Resolution
The January 27 Truth Forum may hold the record for one of the longest Board of Supervisors meetings in recent history. The Supervisors' chamber was full, as were two overflow rooms, each seating about 150 people, and the hallways and lobby area were just as full.
Emotions ran deep. Accusations ran wild. And it was clear that this is a big deal in our community. Whatever your feelings on the issue, having this kind of turnout on a Tuesday afternoon is significant. |
