Dale Helvig <br /> 2536 N. Valencia St. Santa Ana CA 92706 <br /> March 11, 2022 <br /> Mayor Sarmiento and Santa Ana City Councilmembers <br /> City of Santa Ana <br /> 20 Civic Center Plaza, 81" Floor <br /> Santa Ana CA 92702 <br /> Subject: March 11,2022 Special City Council Meeting on Redistricting <br /> I found it disingenuous to hear at the March 7t" City Council meeting that the public may still submit <br /> redistricting maps. If maps are still being accepted then why do we not see them listed in the March 11,2022 <br /> City Council Agenda? The City Council, with the assistance of Redistricting Partners, redrew five maps at the <br /> March 7t"meeting. These five maps, along with the breakdown/analysis, are included in the March 11, 2022 <br /> City Council agenda. A map submitted on February 25,2022 has not been included or evaluated. Nine <br /> additional maps have been submitted since the March 7t" meeting and they too are not included in the <br /> agenda. I assume these will gather dust as well. <br /> Your voiced concerns about the lack of community participating ring hollow when you do not recognize the <br /> efforts of those who are participating. Is it really that the community is not participating or that you do not <br /> like what the community has to say? <br /> The number of neighborhoods that will have more than one councilmember representing them is not being <br /> published. I see no reason to take the time to determine this since it was obvious at the last meeting it is not a <br /> concern of the council. <br /> So much for being open and honest. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Usk 4.It <br /> Dale A Helvig <br /> Resident, Santa Ana <br /> cc: Kristine Ridge Minh Thai <br /> City Manager, Santa Ana Executive Director, Planning <br /> Sonia Carvalho Daisy Gomez <br /> City Attorney, Santa Ana Clerk of the Council, Santa Ana <br /> Steven Mendoza <br /> Assistant City Manager, Santa Ana <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> 2022-03-10 Letter to City Council-Redistricting <br />
