Dale Helvig <br /> Resident, Santa Ana CA 92706 <br /> July 18, 2023 <br /> Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana City Councilmembers <br /> City of Santa Ana <br /> 20 Civic Center Plaza, 81' Floor <br /> Santa Ana CA 92702 <br /> Subject: ITEM 39—Addressing Public Intoxication Through Detention and Service Offering Policy <br /> I am in support of Item 39 which will address people who are in need of help as evidence by public <br /> intoxication or incapacitated due to drug use. I think it is safe to say that we have all witnessed <br /> individuals who need a need a helping hand. But what have we done? <br /> By supporting this discussion, it shows the City is willing to support the vast majority of residents that <br /> are tired of seeing what is currently happening. Santa Ana is a beautiful City, but hard decisions need <br /> to be made before we reach the stage that other cities are seeing due to inaction. Detaining, <br /> providing information and rehab assistance is a step in the right direction. <br /> Doing nothing is not compassionate. <br /> Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. Stay safe, stay healthy. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> aa4It <br /> Dale A Helvig <br /> Resident, Santa Ana <br /> cc: Kristine Ridge, <br /> City Manager, Santa Ana <br /> Sonia Carvalho, <br /> City Attorney, Santa Ana <br /> Steven Mendoza, <br /> Assist.
