Septen?bcr 17, 2012 <br />The Honorable Miguel Pulido <br />Mayor <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Canter Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Re: Request for Continuance of Item WSA Sunshine Ordinance <br />Dear Mayor Pulido: <br />On behalf of the membership of the Building Industry Association Southern <br />California, Orange County Chapter (BIA/OC), we respectfully request a 30-day <br />continuance on any council action regarding the Sunshine Ordinance. "The <br />proposed ordinance has been unilaterally developed without the invitation and <br />input of the business community. As a major stakeholder, we have not had the <br />opportunity to review specific provisions until earlier this week. As a matter of <br />principle, we will not support any new regulations or laws that would unduly <br />burden our members with additional costs and lengthening project timelines. <br />For these reasons, we request at least 30 days to further evaluate the proposed <br />Sunshine Ordinance's impact on development and to participate in all <br />preliminary discussions before further work study sessions or public hearings are <br />conducted- BIA/OC firmly believes that a fully vetted proposal from the entire <br />community will honor the accountability and transparency goals set forth in the <br />Sunshine Ordinance. <br />Our membership is committed to working collectively with you, city staff, and other <br />stakeholders. We remain aresource- to the City on important issues that arc related <br />to the prosperity of our local communities. <br />Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration- <br />Respectfully, <br />?? <br />Bryan M.
