I am writing this message in hopes that it gets taken into serious consideration. I am a concerned citizen and mother to this issue <br />that is being addressed in meetings. Item 39. It has been a very clear and huge issue that individuals feel comfortable to drink in <br />public in broad daylight as children are walking by. In addition, I have personally witnessed individuals passed out DRUGGED <br />with needles still attached to their veins. This is a concern to me as a mother because it is extremely terrifying having to walk <br />past that with my ONE year old knowing that one day, when she is able to comprehend I will have to explain that. It is truly <br />disheartening having to see our beautiful city go downhill with all this open drug and alcohol use and if not being addressed with <br />the importance it deserves. 1, along with many other concerned citizens believe that this should be addressed by police and <br />should one hundred percent have consequences. It is not okay for individuals to feel comfortable doing that around people and <br />most importantly innocent children. NO CHILD deserves to witness that type of disgusting behavior, without those individuals <br />having consequences. I think of it like this, if it's illegal and wrong why should children have to witness it and why should they <br />see the police drive by and not do a single thing about it? My child will question me eventually "isn't that their job? To protect and <br />serve?" Of course, this isn't SAPID fault because their hands are tied, that is why I am writing this email to encourage you guys to <br />please listen to us, the citizens of Santa Ana who want these disgusting behaviors addressed and to be taken seriously. As the <br />city paying the HIGHEST taxes we demand and expect a better quality of life. Lastly, I wanted to mention how many times I have <br />witnessed men drinking outside of our public schools. That being heninger, king, Santa Ana high school. It is truly disgusting that <br />our students who are minding their own business during recess or break have to witness grown adult men drinking out in public <br />outside of school premises. Again, please take my words into consideration and address this awful ongoing issue. Thanks in <br />advance. <br />Kassandra Andrade <br />
