<br />Hall, Jennifer <br />From:Sonia Fernandez <sifernandezz@yahoo.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, August <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:AUG 15 IN SUPPORT OF AGENDA ITEM 14 <br />*Corrected agenda item 14 <br /> <br />Good evening mayor and council members, <br /> <br />My name is Sonia Fernandez <br />I have been a resident of Santa Ana for 14 years -Ward 3 <br /> <br />I urge the council to support Item 14-directing SAPD to enforce public intoxication laws. <br /> <br /> I believe the priority for the safety of the tax paying citizens of Santa Ana has been pushed to the <br />side long enough. <br /> Mental health for our children and the entire Santa Ana community is your responsibility as leaders. <br /> Watching someone shoot up while at a red light, nodding off at the bus stop next to you, or walking <br />down the middle of street half naked on the way to school does not provide a healthy environment. <br /> Is this what you want for our community? The memories that people will have of this city and of <br />their childhoods? <br /> <br /> I would like to remind you that you work for the RESIDENTS of Santa Ana -your constituents that <br />have voted for you. <br /> Some of the council members are blurring the purpose of this request. <br />I would like to clarify that there are subcategories of homeless: there are the ones willing to accept <br />help and are working hard to overcome their hardships, <br />and there are the ones who decline the help time and time again, suffering of drug addiction and <br />mental health conditions that do not allow them to keep themselves safe or make the right decisions. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
