construction paper. This is not what our community needs. We need access to computers, <br /> internet and resources ALL AGES can use. <br /> I am including my public comment from August 16, 2022 below, which outlines the betrayals, <br /> missed opportunities and hope that the Cypress Street Fire Station could still be purposed for <br /> legitimate and valid community use. <br /> As a leader of the Friends of the Cypress Street Fire Station who worked tirelessly to save the <br /> building for community use and to gather community input via the survey, I urge the Council to <br /> allocate NO FUNDING for the building to serve as a PAAL center, and to support its use as a <br /> COMMUNITY TECHNOLOGY CENTER / DIGITAL LIBRARY <br /> Thank You, <br /> Victor Payan <br /> Pacific Park Resident <br /> Founding Director, Media Arts Santa Ana (MASA) <br /> ---------- Forwarded message--------- <br /> From:Victor Payan <vpayan@alumni.stanford.edu> <br /> Date:Tue,Aug 16, 2022 at 2:56 PM <br /> Subject: Request to Table Agenda Item #22: Cypress FS staff recommendation does NOT reflect community input <br /> To: eComment<eComment@santa-ana.org> <br /> Cc: <cityclerk@santa-ana.org>, <kridge@santa-ana.org>, Soto, Daniel <dsoto@santa-ana.org> <br /> Hello, City Council Members, <br /> As a resident of Pacific Park, I am writing to strongly urge the City Council to table Agenda <br /> Item #22 to prevent a travesty in relation to the use of the Cypress Fire Station, because <br /> the staff recommendation DOES NOT reflect community input or requested use for the <br /> space. Say NO to the use of the Cypress Fire Station as a PAAL location by the Santa <br /> Ana Police Department. <br /> I participated in the community effort to save the Cypress Fire Station for community use <br /> and also attended community input sessions regarding desired use of the space. <br /> A large portion of the community input focused on using the Cypress Fire Station for the <br /> following purposes: <br /> A Digital Library <br /> A Community Technology Center <br /> Bridging the digital divide with computer and internet resources <br /> Educational programs for youth and adults <br /> Career development programs for youth and adults <br /> 2 <br />
