I was pleased to see a positive outcome <br />of my vote and a transition to more progressive leaders in our community! <br /> <br />I’m writing you all this urgent message because as you know the City Council is delaying its decision to join Community <br />Choice Energy JPA with Irvine. If it delays any longer, there will be no opportunity to join this program until 1-2 years <br />from now. If we don’t act now, Santa Ana loses the opportunity as well as being a founding member, which would give <br />us residents the relief we greatly need. CCE will build revenue and help our local economy recover from the pandemic. I <br />believe it’s a wise decision to vote to enter, at no cost or harm to the city, since our city could withdraw without penalty <br />early next year. <br /> <br />I’m a young member of our community here in Santa Ana and I love my city. I advocate for the climate and <br />unfortunately, the effects of climate change are here and developing rapidly. In addition, people aren’t prospering, just <br />making ends meet. Joining CCE with Irvine can help us with both of these issues. <br /> <br />In the best interests of the welfare of our community, I ask that you please add the vote for CCE to the next city council <br />meeting agenda. This would be meaningful for every resident of Santa Ana and inspire other cities to join us. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Chiara Delfino <br />Volunteer with Citizens Climate Lobby, OC North Central Chapter <br />1 <br />
