Claire Braeburn with America On Track advocated protection against second -hand <br />smoke. Apartment complexes have been supportive as well as the community. <br />Amy Buch with OC Health Care Agency thanked colleagues for commitment to <br />create healthy environments, concerned with second -smoke affects to children; the <br />agency is available to serve as a resource or provide information on the science <br />aspects while working in collaboration with the City. <br />Daisy Gonzalez, with The Kennedy Commission, commented on the implementation <br />of SB48 that empowers local jurisdiction to cite any health violations and uphold <br />indoor housing conditions as well as effect of proactive code enforcement. She <br />commented on the programs to help protect the tenants, city encouraged to <br />research best practices. <br />The public hearing was closed. <br />Commissioners Mill, Nalle, Bacerra and Gartner expressed concerns in opposition to <br />the second -hand smoke enforcement/regulation. <br />Commissioner Yrarrazaval commented that the Commission was not allowed <br />sufficient time to review and comment on the letter from The Kennedy Commission; <br />indicated there were some relevant issues that were addressed within the letter. <br />Associate Planner McCann stated there had been enough opportunity to integrate <br />into the Element the concerns mentioned in the letter from The Kennedy <br />Commission such as specific programs, city recommendation in Addendum 405 <br />adhering to best practices and identifying which tools would be feasible for Santa <br />Ana. <br />Commissioner Yrarrazaval commented on item No. 7 - Code Enforcement; <br />encouraged staff to review and report back to Commission. Staff indicated taking <br />action during 2014 -2015. <br />Commissioner Nalle commented on Paragraph 7 regarding code enforcement and <br />SB48 and confirming that rodent and vermin infestation are being reported during <br />inspections. He referred to the letter from The Kennedy Commission, to explore the <br />feasibility of rent cost account program. Ms. McCann stated that's why concerns are <br />being proposed taking action in the prep program to address the interior inspections <br />as well. Alvaro Nunez, Coordinator for the Code Enforcement confirmed interior <br />inspections will be done. <br />Chairman Alderete voiced concern that second -hand smoke policy may be used as <br />pre -text to evict tenants who he is opposed to; inquired if funding and resources are <br />available to pursue this type of policy; explore rent escrow account, as a best <br />practice. Highlighted that 81% of households are families and would rather not <br />promote so many single- bedroom units; also encouraged staff to explore the issues <br />addressed in the letter from The Kennedy Commission. <br />MOTION: Recommends that the City Council: <br />1. Approve and adopt the Negative Declaration, Environmental Review No. <br />2013 -98. <br />2.
