Middleton, Samuel <br /> From: Ryan Wagner <ryan@culinarylabschool.com> <br /> Sent: Monday, February 20, 2023 4:04 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Downtown Santa Ana Clean & Safe Program <br /> Hello, <br /> I am writing to express my support for the Clean and Safe Program and to urge the City Council to approve the <br /> agreement to extend the program. <br /> I own and operate a culinary school at 4th Street Market. My team is headquartered on 4th Street near the <br /> market. As a business owner, the safety of my team and students is of the highest priority. The cleanliness of the <br /> surrounding streets and buildings is critical to our ability to attract customers to our school. <br /> The homeless community in the area spreads trash and leaves messes on the streets. Taggers frequent the area <br /> and leave their marks. The Clean and Safe Program has been successful in cleaning up the streets in the early <br /> mornings so that we can run our business in a clean environment during the day. The security guards provide a <br /> safer journey for students and staff to come and go from our school. If anything, we need additional security, <br /> not less. <br /> Cutting this program will hurt our business and make it harder to exist in Santa Ana. I urge the council to extend <br /> the program and support a clean and safe environment in the downtown. <br /> £' Ryan Wagner <br /> Founder <br /> 626-926-4226 <br /> r ye Website Facebook J In gg= YouTube I Yel <br /> Culinaryl-ab Cooking School <br /> 1 <br />
