WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana remains committed to identifying and implementing sustainable and <br />environmentally friendly solutions to combat the climate change crisis. However, these solutions must <br />be both practical and equitable, balancing environmental benefits with the economic realities faced by <br />residents and businesses; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Santa Ana formally opposes the adoption of <br />SCAQMD Rules 1111 and 1121 due to their significant financial burdens on residents, renters, <br />homeowners, and businesses, their detrimental impact on housing affordability, and the increased <br />strain they would place on California’s electric grid. <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Santa Ana urges SCAQMD to explore alternative approaches <br />that achieve meaningful air quality improvements without imposing unreasonable financial hardships on <br />the community, compromising housing affordability, driving out businesses or overburdening the <br />electrical grid. <br />
