What problem are you trying to solve? <br />1) POA financial influence over the city council. This presents a conflict of interest. The council should be <br />overseeing the Police Department without being influenced by campaign donations from the same (related) <br />organization. <br />2) To encourage diversity, new ideas for an evolving city, term limits need to be reduced. A mayor should not <br />serve for an excess of 20 years. <br />3) Santa Ana is a city of diversity, both in culture and race. Yet the city council does not reflect this diversity <br />of the community it serves. <br />......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... <br />Ideate: share your ideas. <br />1) Excessive influence through political contributions from Police Officer Association to local candidates <br />running for office. For example, the city council should be overseeing the police department. This is <br />unrealistic if it is the POA donations that get them elected. Another example is the POA donating to a recall <br />of a city council member. Donations from POA union to local candidates should be eliminated because of <br />the council's duty to oversee the Police Department and the risk of conflict of interest from significant <br />donations. <br />2) Additionally, I would like term limits for the mayoral position to be reduced to 8 years. I am not <br />remembering the terms for city council, but those should also be reduced to no more than 4 years with 4 <br />years off before eligibility to serve again. 3) Diversity in Santa Ana's city council. Efforts should be made to <br />embrace diversity for this governing body, both gender and race. <br />......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... <br />This content is neither created nor endorsed by Google. <br />Google Forms <br />
