CITY ATTORNEY <br />Sonia R. Carvalho <br />ACTING CITY MANAGER <br />Alvaro Nuñez <br />CITY CLERK <br />Jennifer L. Hall <br /> <br />20 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA - P.O. BOX 1988, M31 - SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA 92702 <br />TELEPHONE (714) 647-6900 - FAX (714) 647-6954 - www.santa-ana.org <br /> <br />such as electrical panel changes, new plumbing, and structural modifications. This <br />would increase the cost of both new and existing housing, pricing many potential <br />homeowners and renters out of an already expensive market. Apartment owners would <br />also face significant financial challenges, as the costs of replacing natural gas <br />appliances may be passed on to tenants, driving up rent prices in an already strained <br />rental market. <br /> <br />Finally, the transition to all-electric water heaters and furnaces would place additional <br />pressure on California’s already overstretched electric grid. These systems are <br />essential for daily life, and the increased demand from millions of new electric units <br />would heighten the risk of brownouts and power outages. While my office remains <br />committed to supporting sustainable solutions to combat climate change, it is crucial <br />that such measures balance environmental goals with economic realities. <br /> <br />SUBMITTED BY <br />Councilmember Penaloza <br /> <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />Exhibit 1 – Draft Motion in Opposition to SCAQMD Rules 1111 and 1121 <br /> <br />
