The Los <br />Angeles City Legislative Analyst confirms in their Economic Impact Report numerous negative consequences to <br />grocery workers, neighborhoods, and the grocery industry of additional grocery pay. These are the same <br />impacts we have identified and shared with you. There is no reason to believe similar impacts won’t occur in <br />Santa Ana if an ordinance is passed. (attached) <br /> <br />Also Orange County has already announced that grocery workers are now prioritized for the vaccine. We urge <br />you to not move forward with your ordinance at this time, instead avoid unnecessary negative consequences <br />and join grocers in supporting vaccinating grocery workers to provide them true safety from the pandemic. <br />(link below) <br /> <br />Orange County Covid-19 Vaccination Information <br />https://occovid19.ochealthinfo.com/covid-19-vaccination-distribution <br /> <br />Timothy James <br />Director, Local Government Relations <br />California Grocers Association <br />916-448-3545 <br />1 <br />
