The item is buried as the last item on the agenda packet; <br />2. It is vaguel identified without reference to the subject matter; and lastly, <br />3. It is being placed as a public hearing item right before the holidays when Santa <br />Ana citizens are occupied with preparing for the upcoming Holiday Season <br />beginning this Saturday. <br />This Council ran on transparency and the Citizens of Santa Ana have a right to know and <br />understand how this item will affect their everyday lives and to have the opportunity to <br />comment to the Council and be heard. <br />The roll out for approving this item is contrived, cynical, and perverts the course of <br />citizen -held democracy here in Santa Ana. <br />Lastly, the item recommends the removal of the current POA President from its current <br />form. I have been informed that the POA President cannot make it to the meeting as he <br />is out of town as his daughter has gone into labor. <br />Simple common decency on that alone would dictate that the matter be held over. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br />VICTOR D MENDEZ <br />1 <br />
