Maintaining the quality of our neighborhoods has a high priority for city residents and for me personally. Despite budget constraints, I have supported adding a Code Enforcement Officer and Neighborhood Patrol Officer. As Mayor I will devote every effort to increase neighborhood services officers and enhance Student Neighborhood Assistance (SNAP) program. I will also encourage residents to empower the neighborhoods by organizing into recognized localities, whether or not they have a parking district. On Council I voted for ordinances which already have reduced the number of large, out of control parties. If we are to thrive, San Luis Obispo must continue to attract businesses and permanent residents. Allowing neighborhoods to become like Isla Vista is not an alternative!
