Sunshine Report: Gary Cooper is ailing
Guest Speaker: Lynn Compton, County Supervisor for the 4th District (South County). District 4 is primarily agricultural where strawberry fields and greenhouses abound. Affordable housing is also an abiding issue in south county. SLO county receives 2 to 4 million dollars a year in matching grants for affordable housing units. Ms. Compton said that the board was mulling a tourism tax to raise revenue.
The passage of Prop 68 in 2018 may provide opportunities for Parks & Rec projects across the county. Disadvantaged communities must compete for monies. Prop 64 legalized cannabis but the county has issued some regulations to include no outdoor grows in residential areas, no dispensaries in unincorporated areas. District 4 is zoned for agriculture but the odors emanating from cannabis greenhouses are the cause of many complaints. Sup. Compton also supports initiatives for mental health and safety. In spite of they current freeze on county employment the Sheriff was still able to bring on 11 new deputies.
PG&E bankruptcy proceedings will probably delay the $85 million payout to SLO county which was to offset the Diablo Cyn. closure. Being a county supervisor isn’t all roses as Ms. Compton recently had to obtain a restraining order against an online stalker. Lynn’s presentation followed by Q & A was warmly received. She was presented a certificate and cannon in appreciation.
Secretary’s Report: Minutes from the January 19 meeting were read aloud. Motion (Haynes) Minutes accepted as read, seconded (Tissue). Carried.
Treasurer’s report: Current account balance is $2878.12. Motion (Scully) report accepted, seconded (Tissue). Carried.
Old Business: None.
New Business: Motion (Scully) $100.00 donation to the DAR, seconded (Haynes). Carried.
An eagle scout, Joshua T. Kommer was identified and a certificate ordered. A $100.00 check was proposed but no motion.
Outreach with local Elks is being discussed.
Motion (Harris) Pres Scully be reimbursed $44.87 which went for the purchase of cannons, seconded (Haynes). Carried.
There is a new member from Bakersfield, particulars to follow.
