I am concerned that the draft September 20, 2016 council agenda item you shared with me asks <br /> for your Council's support based on the statement that City staff is confident the County will <br /> contribute $587,836 and partner on the relocation of the Needle Exchange Program. This <br /> statement is not accurate. The County supports additional power washing, trash maintenance <br /> and lighting improvements provided we are able to review the scopes of work in advance to <br /> ensure they afford the level of improvement we discussed. Any funding related to security <br /> guards,additional police presence or a public kiosk requires further consideration and discussion <br /> once we have received the City's detailed information. Finally, the County does not have <br /> authority in its legislative platform to act on the issue of the City's Needle Exchange Program. <br /> As we work together it is important that we are clear in our communication, and that decisions <br /> are made based on accurate information. I am glad that I had this opportunity to provide <br /> clarification. I look forward working together on behalf of the homeless population in the Santa <br /> Ana Civic Center. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Fran im <br /> County Executive Officer <br /> cc: Mark Denny,Chief Operating Officer <br /> Shane Silsby, Director OC Public Works <br /> Cymantha Atkinson, Director Government&Community Relations <br />
