Please do it. Do not <br />declare a public property surplus without consulting the community of people who could most benefit from that <br />resource. <br />Do not declare a public property "surplus" because it has fallen into disrepair. That is a problem with maintenance, not <br />an overabundance of public lands. <br />This historic building could be such an asset for its community —after school homework center, library, legal aid or social <br />services center. And what about a community health center? We have seen a great need for that, and there might just <br />be funding for it. <br />A developer came to you with a vision for how he could benefit from the property. He reimagined it. The needs and <br />imaginations of the people of Santa Ana are at least as valuable, please acknowledge and support them. <br />Sincerely, <br />Patricia Coleman <br />
