Page 2. Enclosed is a the memo that Mr. Trevino, Executive Director of the Santa Ana Planning and Building Agency, that he submitted to the Santa Ana City Manager on March 26, 2012 — Addressing the OCTA Bus Terminal Building and the policy issue to include the Community and Businesses in the decision making process. We encourage you to review the entire memo. Mr. Trevino states: Page 4, "Community and Business Input is Essential. " Mr. Trevino also states on page 4, "Failure to involve the community will Backfire. " The current site decision has backfired as a result of not including the residents and business community. We demand this same consideration In seeking an appropriate site for the Homeless Shelter as put forth by Mr. Trevino on March 26, 2012. On July 15`h, OC Supervisors, Mr. Moorlach, Ms. Bates and Mr. Spitzer expressed very.serious concerns they have about the process and input from others, and Supervisor Spitzer criticism of no safety plan for the shelter, particularly when it comes to homeless sex offenders. See your attached comments that are documented in the OC Register on July 15, 2014. With such concerns that the Supervisors expressed, we do not understand how you voted unanimously to purchase the building and move forward with the shelter. Very important also there appears to be a disconnect and no outreach to the Civic Center Round table on the proposed location. See comments from Massimo Marini and documentation in the attached a. ticle, We also requested from city and county staff Alma Flores, Karen Roper and Juanita Preciado: Please provide the minutes from the July 28, 2014, as you agreed to provide at this meeting on Monday — July 28th.
