Value: Prioritize Mental Health and Vulnerable Communities: We call on the city for funding for <br />mental health service providers who are working with low-income, marginalized immigrant <br />communities. We need to increase outreach efforts so that those most vulnerable know: they <br />are not alone, we are here to help. <br />Value: Preserving Public Lands for Community Benefit: We call on the City to allocate $350,000 <br />to partner with local non-profit organizations experienced in community outreach, to engage <br />local residents for input, to inform development on public land. All developers on public land <br />should be required to incorporate this guidance from local residents. <br />Value: Transparency and Accountability in Policing: Cut SAPD's budget and use the savings to <br />fund the above values and demands, which have positive impacts on the community and <br />contribute to a healthier city. Due to impacts of COVID-19 on the city's tax revenues, we <br />understand deep cuts are expected in next year's budget. Yet SAPD's proposed budget is <br />increasing by 7% - an increase of $25 million in just the last 3 years. This is unjust and <br />inequitable. <br />Best, <br />Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities <br />Chispa <br />The Kennedy Commission <br />VietRISE <br />Kid Works <br />ACLU of Southern California <br />El Centro Cultural de Mexico <br />
