The community has called for the old YMCA to be <br />turned into a community center. We do not need further gentrification by Mike Harrah. <br />Item 20A: YES: Please vote to bring mobile library services back to Santa Ana. <br />Item 22B: NO: We do not need armored vehicles. The fact that "civil unrest" is cited as one of the reasons this <br />vehicle is "needed" is a huge red flag. As the city calls for the police to be defunded, this would be a huge move <br />in the wrong direction. Please vote no. <br />Item 25A: NO: Again, we do not need any more gentrification by Mike Harrah. <br />Item 25E: NO: We do not need to increase revenue to cite parking violations during a time of national crisis, <br />nor do we need any more money to go toward the police department in any capacity. This, again, is the opposite <br />of what your constituents are calling for. <br />Item 75B: NO: We need affordable housing more than ever, and this proposed change to the HOO would make <br />it easier for developers to avoid building their required number of affordable units. As rental prices skyrocket <br />and people lose their housing during a pandemic, this is absolutely not what we need. <br />Thank you, <br />Allegra Ringo <br />
