Today I'm speaking out against Item 65B. <br />Eliminating 176 jobs as a cost cutting measure is detrimental to our city. As a Park Ranger for a City in Orange <br />County, I have been working hard since the COVID 19 epidemic hit us, so I know how hard our city employees <br />have been working. I am displeased that there is an intent to eliminate 176 essential jobs. This is not the time <br />to be cutting jobs. Many of us have been hit hard financially without work and now these essential workers <br />livelyhood is at risk. <br />Our city employees take pride in the work they do to keep our community running. Parks and Recreation <br />employees work hard to make sure our kids and students have safe and clean parks, afterschool and summer <br />city programs, renovated city pools, an amazing public library and much more. <br />Santa Ana has the higgest taxes in Orange County and it is unbeliveable that we have to eliminate city jobs <br />now. Where is our money going to if not to our community. Please reconsider eliminating these jobs. <br />Best regards, <br />Abigail Aleman and Albert Arreola <br />
