It is written to applies to all tenants without the need for proof of being impacted by <br />COVID-19 or income qualification. <br />It appears the City is ignoring its taxpayers and housing providers who still need to keep up with their mortgages, <br />property taxes, insurance, payroll, and other expenses. <br />I respectfully request that the Santa Ana City Council take immediate action to revise Section 3 of Executive Order No. 2- <br />2020 and ensure its compliance with state law. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sal Ortiz <br />6200 Edinger Ave <br />Huntington Beach, CA 92647 <br />sal.ortiz@newportpacific.com <br />
