Salas, Diana <br />From: Mextli Lopez <mextli9239@gmail.com> <br />Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2020 2:59 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Public Comment for agenda item No. 85A <br />My name is Mextli Lopez and I am a constituent of Ward 5. <br />I am writing in support of agenda number 85A. The council should be seeking to increase their engagement with the <br />people they were elected to represent— not limit it— especially now when COVID19 has relegated us to remote civic <br />engagement and limited our face to face contact. If our elected officials don't hear from us, how will they be able to <br />make decisions on "our behalf'? Many residents of Santa Ana do not have access to internet, a computer or a <br />smartphone and there are those with such tools who may be older and not knowledgeable on how to write an email. It <br />is imperative that the city allow residents to call in to voice their opinions and concerns after each agenda item <br />especially during a pandemic, when the decisions made in city council could mean life or death for Santa Ana residents. <br />Please vote to re -allow public comments after each agenda item. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mextli <br />
