Orozco, Norma <br />From: <br />Ernesto Medrano <emedrano@laocbuildingtrades.org> <br />Sent: <br />Tuesday, May 05, 2020 3:12 PM <br />To: <br />eComment <br />Subject: <br />One Broadway Plaza <br />Attachments: <br />Public Comment - Santa Ana.pdf <br />Good afternoon, <br />This shall serve as a public comment addressed to the City Council regarding agenda item 11B at tonight's <br />Council meeting. I am writing to express support for this item. I want to thank the City Council for its wisdom, <br />foresight, innovativeness and courage in voting in support of the One Broadway Plaza at the last City Council <br />meeting. I, on behalf of the hard working men and women of the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and <br />Construction Trades Council, urge unanimous and final support for this project. <br />As my attached letter references the importance of this project to Santa Ana's future. A greener option, <br />housing with affordability, a pathway for career employment opportunities for our apprenticeship readiness <br />classes at Santa Ana College and the Santa Ana Unified School District, Local and Veteran hire provisions in the <br />construction of the project, a historic building comparable to none in the County are all great reasons to move <br />forward. <br />We read every day in the newspapers how we now have 3.7 million of Californians applying for <br />unemployment assistance due to the current crisis. This is a total of 20% unemployment which is comparable <br />to the depression during the 1930's. This project will enable Santa Ana to be ahead of the curve as Orange <br />County starts a responsible re opening of its economy. The jobs created shall be important to our local <br />economy. <br />Again, we wholeheartedly urge final approval of this project so that construction can start as soon as possible <br />and our members can don their hardhats, work boots and tool belts and start to work. <br />Thank you! <br />ERNESTO MEDRANO, COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE <br />LAIOC Building and Construction Trades Council <br />ly N. <br />1626 Beverly Boulevard <br />t <br />Los Angeles, CA 90026 <br />as <br />M 714 651-7273 T: 213-483-4222 F: 213-483-4419 <br />E: emedrano((Dlaocbuildingtrades.org <br />This email and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.
