Subject: This evening's council meeting
Hello,
There's a chance that I will not be able to attend this evening's council meeting, however I do have these
comments (in blue) regarding three agenda items:
0OI
HANGE WARD 4 PLANNING COMMISSION APPOINTMENT, REMOVE CURRENT
NTEE - Pursuant to Santa Ana Charter Section 901, a board or commission member may be removed
by the City Council by the affirmative votes of a majority of the Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION. • Remove the Ward 4 representative from the Planning Commission.
1) This seems wrong on so many levels, and the innuendo snakes it seem even worse. This
commissioner seems to be doing a very good job; that certainly seems to be the consensus among
the constituents. What has he done to anger or upset the council? I understand that the
commissioners serve at the pleasure of the council, but after 7 years or so of serving, I believe the
residents deserve an explanation why Phil is being ousted,

RECOMMENDED ACTION.-.
1 - Discuss placing on the November 6, 2018 General Municipal Election ballot a measure asking voters to
consider the adoption of a sales tax; and
2.- Authorize and direct staff to prepare all required documents necessary to proceed with a ballot measure,
including, but not limited to, all of the following:
a resolution giving notice of the City's General Municipal Election to be held in the City of Santa Ana on
a' November 6, 2018 for the submission of questions to the voters relating to a sales tax measure.
a resolution containing the ballot question and related to the sales tax measure;
c. - a resolution authorizing Councilmembers to file written arguments for or against the amendments; and
d. - guidelines for preparation of arguments for/against the proposed amendments;
e. - all other documents required to proceed with the sales tax measure.
3) I am adamantly opposed to 65B and I am appalled and offended by the questions on the
resident's survey that was distributed in an effort to put lipstick on it The council has made poor
decisions over the years (ending the ICE contract, etc), so now the residents and businesses will
be punished? Unacceptablelll
Thank you,
Connie Hamilton

Subject: Phil Becerra Removal from Santa Ana City Council
Good afternoon Coucilman Benavides,
It appears you are exercising your right to recommend the removal of Santa Ana Planning Commissioner, Phil
Bacerra.
I know Phil very well, both as an outstanding citizen and Commissioner. Phil is thoughtful, decent and honest;
qualifies which you likely based your past recommendation to Council on.
I would hope you allow Phil to complete his tern, coincident with your term, so he may continue to serve the
City and its residents. The City very much needs people like Phil.
I appreciate you consideration of this plea so late in the process.
Feel free to contact me should you have any questions.
Thank you,
Jeff Dickman
