UNITEHERE! <br />LOCAL11 <br />November 3, 2015 <br />Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido <br />& City Councilmembers <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />ClT�! C?( `0 P, a`;Tri <br />CLERK OF <br />Dear Mayor Pulido and <br />Councilmembers Amezeua, Benavides, Martinez, Reyna, Sarmiento, and Tinajero, <br />We at UNITE HERE Local I l respectfully request that you postpone your vote on agenda item <br />5513, the hotel development incentive program. As the union representing hotel workers in <br />Orange and Los Angeles counties, we believe that a hotel development incentive program has <br />the potential to benefit workers and residents in Santa Ana. However, we cannot support the <br />current iteration of Santa Ana's proposed program. <br />We hope to see Santa Ana's hotel development incentive program brought back to the city <br />council at a later date with provisions that create good jobs, protect workers, ensure wages and <br />benefits, and promote dignity and respect for all. We believe that card -check neutrality must be a <br />requirement for hoteliers receiving public funds via subsidies and tax rebates, and that the <br />incentive program should also guarantee that hotel workers and construction workers on the <br />project are paid fair wages. A hotel development incentive program can be a great aid to the <br />city's economy and community; we urge you to further develop this program to ensure that it <br />creates good jobs for Santa Ana. <br />Sincerely, <br />J <br />l <br />Martit .Lpez <br />Recording Secretary <br />UNITE HERE Local 1.1 <br />MAIN OFFICE <br />464 S.
