Pulido, mayor <br />City Council members <br />Maria D. Huizar, Clerk of the Council <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Gentlemen: <br />AINA <br />i r)liPCIL <br />This is in response to a letter that we received regarding a hearing for recovering the <br />"so called" "uncollected administrative fees". <br />The city of Santa Ana is putting on us landlords excessive burdens. Taxes on our <br />water bill, taxes on our trash bill, permit fees, school fees, fees for inspections, <br />property taxes, special assessment charges, fees for typing, fees for printing, fees for <br />reports, license fees for this, license fees for that, fees on top of taxes and taxes on top <br />of fees. Finally, all these expenses are raised every year on us to the point where they <br />are becoming intolerable. <br />It is only logical to ask, flow can we pay you all these monies that you continually <br />demand from us? We have to make our mortgage payments, our insurance payments, <br />pay for maintenance, utilities, etc. etc, We are small businesses trying to make a living <br />like everyone else. At the end there is hardly anything left to pay ourselves for our <br />hard work. <br />Your chambers of commerce and your city development agencies, invite small <br />business such as ours to come and operate in your city. When we do that, instead of <br />thanking us for com ing to your city, you are overloading us with unbearable burdens. <br />When we try to point out these facts we are intimidated by your city inspectors, your <br />administrators and your clerks. <br />We are asking ourselves. What are we to do? You point out to us that we should raise CM 08/05/2013 <br />our rents and charge our tenants more, This is an unrealistic option. Let me explain. l; <br />75C
