Orozco, Norma From: Summer Myers <sumrgrl318@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2020 3:57 PM To: eComment Subject: Santa Ana City Council Meeting 7/7/2020 I find that silencing the community is typical of this City Council. During a pandemic you're requiring that all comments be made in person as opposed to conference calls the way that all other meetings have been held during this pandemic. Seems fitting that an important vote is up tonight and you'd like us to remain silent. It was blatantly clear that it was the Mayor's intention to silence the public with the last two council meetings. The citizens of this city have a right to be heard, not limited to 1-2 minutes, and have council meetings adjourned prior to hearing all comments. In fact, on your own website it states that if anyone has been infected with Covid that they MUST remain at home, tell me, council, how would these people address you if they so choose? This is a completely unfair process for the disabled and/or disadvantaged residents. I recently tested for Covid, although negative, would you like me to be sitting in your chambers this evening? I'm sure this is violating all types of laws but like the last 20+ years, you do as you please and screw this community. Members of the public who have tested positive for COVID-19; are displaying symptoms of the illness immunocompromised and at a higher risk if exposed SHOULD NOT attend City Council meetings in t not sure if this applies to you, please refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's websit www. cdc.govfcoronavirus. Snap shot attached in case its slipped your mind. YOU ARE ALL SUBJECT FOR RE-ELECTION THIS COMING NOVEMBER AND THIS WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. The community has only one outlet to be heard? Do you actual take the time to read these emails? I know you're reading our comments on FB because they've been addressed in meetings, but tell me who takes these emails into consideration at 4:00 pm prior to the meeting? I know none of you do and I challenge each of you to prove me wrong. We are in a telecommunications era and that the fact that you're requiring residents to be present at the city council meeting is absurd. Not to mention that no one is competent enough to manage a phone line. Is there no IT technician available for these meetings? Again, your silencing the community will no longer be tolerated. You've woke the sleeping bears and the new generation of voters will make sure that this does not continue. I cant imagine that Pulido can demand that all speakers give out their addresses tonight like he's requested at the prior council meeting. Tonight will be interesting to say the least. You have all taken advantage of a community that is already at a disadvantage. I'm so disappointed in each and every SINGLE one of you. You're trying to change the voice of the people by silencing us, you've recalled a city council member, to change the vote of the people. You've been warned we're watching and it behooves you all to act accordingly. The POA is not Santa Ana's friend and you're all playing by his rules... I hope that justice is served swift and promptly because that is what you all deserve. You've defrauded an entire community of Hispanic people putting their trust into each and every one of you i
