Box 1988, M31 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Subject: OPPOSE "Sunshine Ordinance" UNLESS AMENDED <br />Dear Mayor Pulido: <br />On behalf of the Orange County Business Council (OCBC), I am writing to you <br />regarding the proposed Sunshine Ordinance scheduled to be heard for consideration at <br />this evening's City Council meeting. <br />OCBC learned just this afternoon that the proposed so-called "Sunshine Ordinance" <br />was re-drafted over the weekend, was not subject to public review or "sunshine," and <br />contains significant changes from the Ordinance posted on the City's website. Despite <br />the extremely limited amount of time provided to OCBC, it is clear that the ordinance <br />contains new requirements that will have a substantive impact on the business <br />community for which an economic analysis has not been done. <br />Considering these last minute changes, we would reiterate our previous request that the <br />Council delay the hearing to allow for appropriate review and stakeholder input. Without <br />being provided with the opportunity to provide a thorough analysis of the proposed <br />ordinance, OCBC strongly opposes the ordinance. <br />Sincerely, <br />*&tA4, <br />Lucy Dunn <br />President and CEO <br />Orange County Business Council <br />LD:MP:ld <br />THE LEADING VOICE OF BUSINESS IN ORANGE COUNTY 5OA-17
