Due to <br />the pandemic, and the fact that not ONE development has pulled a permit under the <br />current $15 dollar fee, now is the time to give all projects the staff proposed $5 option - <br />especially projects that are so close to construction. <br />Further, mandating any type of labor can have significant consequences on the cost and <br />viability of a project. In no way am I opposed to skilled or union labor, but these <br />decisions should be made by the applicant and not mandated as a blanket policy by the <br />city. <br />As a member of the Building Industry Association and a resident of Santa Ana, I thank <br />you for bringing this topic forward and considering the positive impacts reducing this <br />regulation will have on my industry and the residents of Santa Ana. <br />Thank you, <br />Mary Whitenack <br />DRY UTILITY CONSULTING AND DESIGN SERVICES <br />WHITENACK CONSULTING INC. <br />1404 North Tustin Avenue, Unit B-1 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92705 <br />Telephone: 951-232-6021 Facsimile: 714-543-0919 <br />Email: utilitiescons@yahoo.com <br />t <br />
