Reyna RE: OC Board of Supervisor's Meeting, November 18, 2014 Dear Mayor Miguel Pulido, Mayor Pro Temp Sal TinaJero, Council Members Vincent Sarmiento, Michele Martinez, Angellca Amezcua, David 8enavides, Roman Reyna: The Santa Ana City Council at the October 21, 2014 demonstrated your tremendous support and unity with the community to seek a different location for the proposed 200 Bed Emergency Shelter at 1217 E. Normandy Place. The proximity to the schools is a major concern and the lack of community engagement in the decision making process, and a poor choice for a 200 Bed Emergency shelter to help our homeless population move their dally needs to a safer and appropriate living environment. We believe that the Normandy location is not the solution. We are very willing, and have Informed the county that the community wants to work in partnership with them for better solutions, specifically location /s and exemplary housing and service models to move our homeless population from poverty to permanent housing. At the Supervisor's meeting on Tuesday, November 18, 2014, they will vote on the purchase of the 1217 E. Normandy Place building. It will be fantastic if you are available to attend, and if one of you can speak on behalf of the City Council this will demonstrate that you are united with the community for better solutions. Coucilmembers Michele Martinez and Angelica Amezcua have informed us that they will be in Washington, D.C. on this day. You can access the Supervisor's agenda on line at OC Board of Supervisors web site, and the staff report dated November 18, 2014. The Normandy Place building purchase is item # 8.
