orange county OCA�MIL autornobile dealers association November 19, 2018 Mr. Raul Godinez City Manager City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 92701 Dear Mr. Godinez: As you know, the Orange County Auto Dealers Association has been in dialogue with City staff since early August on a potential Local Resident Auto Rebate Program. This proposed program is extremely critical to the franchised auto dealers located in Santa Ana, as it will incentivize local residents to continue to patronize these dealers after the recently approved 1.5 cent sales tax increase goes into effect on April 1, 2019. Item 65C on the Tuesday, November 20 City Council agenda is related to this proposed program and offers two potential scenarios for such a program. While we appreciate City staff bringing this forward, the Association and its members still have concerns regarding this issue and, as such, request that the item be continued to the Council meeting of Tuesday, December 18 to provide an opportunity to resolve these concerns. Your consideration of this request is greatly appreciated. We appreciate the opportunity to work with City staff and your Council on this issue for the benefit of Santa Ana residents.
