Orozco, Norma <br /> From: Tomas Castro <tscastro0801 @hotmail.com> <br /> Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2022 3:35 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Agenda Item 16 Public Comment <br /> Dear Mayor Sarmiento and Councilmembers, <br /> My name is Tomas Castro, and I am a young person residing in Orange County concerned about the future of <br /> our regional climate. With sea levels rising and temperatures ever hotter, OC can expect coastal erosion and <br /> more frequent and destructive wildfires to be the reality if we do not take action to reduce our emissions by <br /> 2030. With this in mind, I encourage you to allocate sufficient funds to hire an Environmental Justice Staffer as <br /> stipulated in the city's General Plan. An EJ staffer will help Santa Ana resolve the myriad of environmental and <br /> climate injustices present in the city, and will show the rest of Orange County that Santa Ana is serious about <br /> tackling these issues. Please do not pass the budget without funding an Environmental Justice staffer. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Tomas Castro <br /> i <br />
