The PRCC supports policies, incentives, and entitlement programs that seek to address the economic hardships currently impacting local businesses.  All businesses are encouraged to comply with the temporary restrictions limiting the activity of those businesses defined as non-essential.  However, every business is essential to its owners and employees.  Therefore, the PRCC will advocate for policies that do not inflict an additional undue hardship on businesses which are already suffering.

The PRCC supports common-sense regulation necessary to ensure the health and safety of the community and will advocate for regulatory policy in land use matters and other areas of local jurisdiction that incentivize businesses to be good actors.

The PRCC supports Federal, State and local laws which govern the appropriate expenditure of public funds to maintain core government services. This includes requirements on developing and presenting a balanced budget, the collection of existing taxes and maintenance of establishment of fees (which must only recover the reasonable costs of government services). The PRCC also supports cost-reduction measures which do not impact services, such as public-private partnerships which have been shown to maintain or enhance service levels, while taking advantage of private sector efficiency.

The PRCC supports policies which contribute to a diverse and sustainable economy, while respecting and enhancing the existing local business community.

The PRCC supports policies that increase the affordability of housing in Paso Robles and the County.  Housing affordability is improved by the development of both market-rate and deed-restricted affordable housing.  The PRCC will evaluate the merits of individual housing projects as well as policy initiatives to determine their appropriateness for improving housing affordability.

The PRCC supports policies and projects that seek to maintain and enhance an appropriate quantity of affordable parking to accommodate visitors, employees and residents of downtown.

The PRCC supports policies and expenditures which improve and maintain our aging infrastructure. This is an area where State and Local government have historically unfortunately under-invested and every effort must be made to prioritize investment in infrastructure of every kind.
