February 6, 2019 <br />To the Men and Women of the Santa Ana Police Department: <br />It is an honor to serve as the Mayor Pro Tem for the Council of Santa Ana and I stand in <br />support of all City employees, residents, and businesses. I am committed to serving the <br />City of Santa Ana's best interest. As member of public safety, I know first-hand the <br />sacrifice and dedication it takes to protect others in a community. The Santa Ana Police <br />Department has exceptional Police Officers and staff who I have a high regard for. Since <br />my election into the City Council, I have been an avid supporter of law enforcement and <br />I will always support the Santa Ana Police Department. Over the course of my tenure with <br />the Council, I prioritized public safety, ensured that a Chief of Police was selected and <br />have advocated for public safety funds at the State and Federal level. <br />My role as the Mayor Pro Tem requires that I make decisions that are sustainable and <br />financially feasible for the City. At yesterday's City Council meeting, I made the comment <br />that based on law enforcement integrity that If you do the right thing, then you don't have <br />to worry about anything. That statement was based on thoughtful consideration and <br />principal; leading to my comments and decision about to the Police Officer's Association <br />Memorandum of Understanding (POA MOU). The Santa Ana Police Department team <br />deserves a raise and an increase of capacity. However, the POA MOU that was presented <br />at yesterday's Council meeting needs to be financially feasible and sustainable for the <br />Santa Ana Police Department and for the City. The POA MOU was approved by the <br />majority of the Council without the vote of the funding appropriations, essentially an <br />unfunded agreement, which is unjustified. <br />In an effort to eliminate confusion and unnecessary rhetoric, I would like to encourage <br />you to watch the City Council meeting's video, specifically my comments about the POA <br />MOU, so that misunderstandings are clarified. My commitment to the devoted men and <br />women of the Santa Ana Police Department will not falter. I have an open door policy <br />should you want to speak with me directly. <br />Respectfully, <br />ayor Pro Tem Juan Villegas <br />Link to Cid Council Recording - Item 65D - Agreement with SAPOA <br />(Fast forward to 1:28:50) <br />,0 <br />
