Governor Gavin Newsom <br />recently issued an executive order that authorizes local governments to enact policy to provide economic relief <br />for our impacted community members. As a result of the current situation and real lack of knowledge <br />surrounding COVID-19, I urge Santa Ana City Council to issue a legal order instituting a moratorium on the <br />following: <br />• Utility Shut Offs and Late Fees For Non Payment of Utility Bills <br />• Parking Enforcement and Citations <br />• We should impose a freeze on all rents, mortgages and a moratorium on all evictions and foreclosures <br />• Proposal on how to mitigate potential outbreak in Santa Ana jails <br />We are the fourth -most densely populated city in the country and this is more of a reason to take on these <br />precautions. There is real fear in our community about attending public gatherings, but more than that, real <br />consequences to those who are being severely impacted by the economic collapse. <br />As a resident, I have continuously heard: 'Public safety comes first'. I agree. Let us be positive examples of <br />what can be accomplished when we commit to putting the wellbeing of our communities first. <br />Thank you, <br />Jessie Lopez <br />
