Zuniga, Diana From: David Carbajal < Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2025 1:18 PM To: eComment Subject: Item 10 - Council Meeting 10/7/25 Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Council, I strongly support item 10. Measure CC's passage in last year was a huge step forward for our city —over 43,000 residents voted to create permanent rent stabilization and just -cause protections. The proposed rental registry is essential to carrying out that mandate and making sure the law is implemented and enforced properly. I'd like to clear up a common misconception: the registry will not use general funds —it's designed to be self-sufficient, funded entirely by a small fee on rental units covered by the ordinance. One public comment submitted objected to requiring exemption forms, but these are a normal and simple administrative step that helps everyone —especially landlords —by clarifying which units are exempt, much like business licensing paperwork. Lastly, the software vendor being considered has a solid track record with similar registries. Their platform would make it easy for city staff, tenants, and landlords to communicate, pay fees, and stay compliant. You can see examples of their work here- hLtps://www.tolemi.com/rental-registration. Please vote to approve this item. Doing so honors the will of the voters and ensures Measure CC is implemented effectively. Thank you,
