Flores, Dora <br />From:Erika Higbee <erikahigbee@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, August 18, 2020 4:18 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Public Comment Agenda Item 85B <br />Dear City Council, I am in favor of agenda item 85B to give all circulating petitions an extension. Due to the global <br />pandemic, we lost 133 days of signature gathering out of the 180 days we were legally entitled to gather enough <br />signatures to put rent control on the ballot for Santa Ana. The shelter-in-place orders explicitly prohibited us from being <br />able to go door-to-door, but we have demonstrated massive public interest in our campaign. People are receiving <br />abusive rent increases even during this pandemic and need protections now more than ever. We need REAL <br />PERMANENT RENT CONTROL NOW! Sincerely, Erika. <br />4 <br /> <br />
