Orozco, Norma <br /> From: Carl Benninger < <br /> Sent: Monday, July 17, 2023 11:41 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Support of#39 on July 18th Agenda <br /> Please note that Metro Classic Neighborhood Association is very <br /> supportive of Item 39 that will be presented by Council Member Bacerra. <br /> Metro Classic is on the south side. Our NA borders are Alton to <br /> Segerstrom and Bear Street to Raitt. Our Ward is number 4 <br /> For too long Santa Ana was known as the place to go to do drugs, to be <br /> homeless, to avoid arrest warrants. Who paid for all of that but the <br /> citizens of the city. It's time to change that. We are spending millions for <br /> a group called City Net who by the time they get to a person that person is <br /> long gone. <br /> Get the police the direction that if there is a person high on drugs or <br /> having emotional issues or homeless in the streets of Santa Ana <br /> detente them. Just do not drive by, which has been the direction form the <br /> Council for years and years, Please notice GUYs NOT ARREST but <br /> Detente them. Notice the Homeless can still refuse help and leave the <br /> detention center as they please. But records have shown that the homeless <br /> accept help more often once removed from the street. At the detention <br /> center those high on drugs will be held until they are off their high. In a <br /> safe location saving lifes for sure. <br /> Our present way is not working! So if you truly care for the homeless, the <br /> drug victims or the mentally disturbed then support item #39. You vote <br /> against #39 because you do not like police then you truly do not <br /> care! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! <br /> Carl Benninger <br /> 14 <br />
