Council has already received copy of email. <br />From: Mike Tardif [mailto:mike@tardifsheetmetal.com] <br />Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2015 8:07 AM <br />To: !City Council <br />Cc: Santa Ana Citizens <br />Subject: So-called Wellness District <br />Honorable Council Members, <br />I have read the "market study" presented by Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities. <br />In my opinion it has little to do with "wellness" and much to do with re-engineering an existing successful <br />economic model. <br />This study is not a fair representation of economic activity (the market) of downtown Santa Ana. <br />It is not a scientific study at all. It is opinion and conjecture designed to produce a predetermined outcome. <br />It is an attempt to urge government to force an economic model in opposition to an established marketplace <br />trend. <br />This will not succeed. <br />The study proposes to support a "Latino Revival." <br />The last time I looked the "Latino spirit" was, thankfully, alive and well in Downtown Santa Ana. <br />An existing thriving marketplace like Santa Ana's downtown would be better served by an unbiased study that <br />would look at what is working - <br />and what can be enhanced to work better for residents, commuters and visitors to Downtown Santa Ana. <br />Mike Tardif <br />Santa Ana <br />
