Mitre -Ramirez, Norma <br />From: Carlos Hernandez < <br />Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2017 3:46 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Comment on Ordinance to Regulate Mobile Food Vending Vehicles <br />Categories: Correspondence <br />I'm writing to express my total disdain to the proposed ordinance to prohibit mobile food vending vehicles as <br />written. This ordinance would dis proportionally impact communities of color in the city in terms of eliminating <br />their source of income and further criminalizing them in favor of the prison industrial complex. In a time where <br />our communities are under constant and relentless attack by those in power at the federal government it is <br />imperative that action is taken by local jurisdictions to protect these communities from punitive actions that <br />would place them at risk of proposed federal actions such as mass deportation of those with "criminal records." <br />The proposed ordinance would only allow for increased criminalization of those communities which would be <br />the most affected by such proposed federal actions. Santa Ana should follow the example of the City of Los <br />Angeles, who has chosen to protect its residents by taking steps to legalize street vending. In the city of Santa <br />Ana the step should be to stop this ordinance to prevent the criminalizing those whom up to now have been <br />protected. <br />Sincerely, <br />Carlos Hernandez <br />PRIVACY NOTICE: This email transmission, and any documents, files or previous email messages attached to it, may contain confidential information that is <br />legally privileged.
