Good evening <br />My name is Raymond maggi <br />I am the past President of the Apartment Association of Orange County having <br />served six terms, past President of the California Apartment Association, past <br />Director and Treasurer of the national apartment association and currently a <br />Director Emeritus. <br />I have been one of the founding members of the prep program,. the chairman of <br />the prep citizens task force and coordinator and contact for the prep program <br />Since the program's inception and have never had to address the city council on <br />this the most successful housing preservation program in the state <br />Historically the prep citizens committee and task force overseeing the program <br />received information from staff regarding the status of the program and the <br />proposed budget and always argued and then agreed with the increases that were <br />requested in the prep program. <br />I can tell you that the first few years of this program were a result of numerous <br />complaints of all of your neighborhood associations because the city staff were <br />acting in a reactive manner rather than a proactive manner. <br />The prep program took numerous hours over two year time period and was <br />developed as a proactive neighborhood preservation program which has been the <br />most successful in this state. <br />Having been involved in code enforcement issues in nearly every city in the <br />county and in various cities throughout the state this program has been the most <br />successful of any in the state. <br />E:\Users\ray\Desktop\SANTE ANA PREP DISCUSSION.wpd PAGE 1 OF 5 <br />
