In a city where green space is in short supply, they <br />worry restricting field access to a private group would come at the expense of <br />opportunities for the rest of the city's youth. <br />City Manager Alvaro Nunez did not respond to requests for comment but said during <br />Tuesday night's Council meeting that no deal is set in stone. <br />Advocates are concerned that the deal may never reach a public meeting since the <br />city manager is authorized to sign contracts of up to $50,000 without the need for <br />Council approval." <br />https://Iaist.com/news/santa-ana-soccer-club-private-access <br />"We Challenged Councilman David Penaloza to Defend his Vote for the $25M Police <br />Contract <br />David Penaloza, Jose Solorio, and Miguel Pulido, Vince Sarmiento approved an <br />unfunded $25,000,000 contract for the Santa Ana Police Officers Association <br />(SAPOA) <br />https://www.chisaaoc.ora/2019/03/we-challenaed-councilman-david-Denaloza-to- <br />defend-h is-vote-for-the-25m-pol ice -contract/ <br />"In Santa Ana the local police union's campaign finance disclosures show it's spent <br />nearly $1 million, for certain candidates: Council members Phil Bacerra, David <br />Penaloza, Nelida Mendoza, Valerie Amezcua <br />https://voiceofoc.ora/2022/11 /will-law-enforcement-aolitical-saendina-Dav-off-in- <br />orange-count ry <br />"Attorneys Allege Political Corruption, Innappropriate Behavior in Santa Ana Pot <br />Raids <br />lawsuits against City of Santa Ana, which also named Miguel Pulido, claiming the city <br />accepted bribes in exchange for guaranteeing licenses to distribute marijuana. <br />https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/political-corruption-innappropriate- <br />
