Our children attended Lutheran schools including Orange <br />Lutheran. That said, I well remember when there were a lot of rumblings about the very great possibility of Mater Dei <br />moving out of town for a variety of reasons. Due to the work of the then City Manager and Council with a joint <br />collaboration with the school they embarked upon a very expensive and grand remodeling and expansion of the <br />school. Everyone knew that one day this parking garage would need to be built both to accommodate the school and <br />the nearby residents. <br />It only seems fair that the city do its part in assisting to finish this project and keeping this valuable asset in town. Think <br />of the accolades that come to us via the great success of this institution! Mater Dei has a national reputation and is on <br />the cutting edge of in so many areas that benefit all of our residents, not just the student body. Given the indirect <br />student aid that is given to many Santa Ana students, and the tremendous positive financial impact that this school <br />facility has on our city it seems reasonable that we should make good on our "end of the bargain". The school has in <br />good faith moved forward to make many substantial improvements to their facility which not only benefit them but the <br />surrounding area, both business' and residential property values. <br />When it comes to money there are always more places to spend it and there are dollars. That is when your careful <br />leadership is most in play. Thanks for your consideration, and I hope you vote to assist Mater Dei. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tim Rush <br />President, Wilshire Square Neighborhood Association <br />,HS%. <br />BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY <br />HomeServices <br />California Properties <br />-Attitude means nothing without Aptitude <br />CCM 06/07/2016 <br />65A <br />
