Dear Councilmember, Mayor Pro Tem, and Mayor: <br />My name is Patricia De Santos and I live in the southern part of Santa <br />Ana. <br />I am a relatively recent resident as I have only lived here for the past 10 <br />years. <br />I would like to share my experience with the residents in my <br />neighborhood. <br />I had a chance to meet many of my neighbors during the pandemic and <br />the lock down. <br />The only thing there was to do was take walks in the neighborhoods. I <br />found that there was a wide variety of diversity of cultures in my <br />neighborhood, from many different backgrounds. <br />I found many of my neighbors are Spanish as their primary language and <br />I had to use my rusty Spanish to communicate with them. <br />I also found many of my neighbors were 2111 and Yd generations in the <br />same home. <br />My neighbors, like me, care about the city and the safety of our <br />neighborhoods. We worked together on neighborhood issues and shared <br />fruit from our backyards. <br />I believe the residents of the south part of the city can do many good <br />things for the city if allowed to have a consolidated Ward that will allow <br />us to address all our similar concerns and interests. <br />I would ask the councilmembers and Mayor Sarmiento vote to <br />consolidate the southern neighborhoods and adopt Map F in the <br />Redistricting. <br />Thank you <br />
