This coming after recently reducing this fee. <br /> <br />In this time of "RECOVERY" from the Pandemic we feel any fee increases and tax increases to our business <br />community is not in the best interest of a recovering economy. Are we sending the right message? <br /> <br />Also, how will the residential building community respond to this? Will this be adverse to attracting new <br />developments? <br /> <br />The Chamber Government Affairs leadership raises these concerns and does not support this increase at this <br />time. <br />Thanks to all of you for your work and consideration. <br /> <br />David L Elliott <br />President/CEO <br />Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce <br />1 <br />
