Submit signatures to get it in the ballot? o regarding census.. give people Toilet Paper or other essential as incentive to do census. They can provide proof the completed. what about using the same system as amber alert to send a mass message to remind everyone about the census? We get those on phone for emergency alerts etc. • Max Motlagh, Auto Wholesale Company o I'm a resident and business owner here, my water bill doubled this month, when our usage remained the same. How does the city council justify this increase at such an already detrimental time to Santa Ana businesses and residents? • Mextli Lopez o How will [the] city council protect tenants who are struggling from income loss due to COVID19 from confronting rent increases when they are already struggling to pay rents as they are? • Danny Vega o Are our measure X dollars being used to fix these streets. That's why we are paying top dollar right? saved for public record? o Does the city recommend we report businesses like nail salons that are still open or soccer games being played at the park?

TRANSLATION: Is there a plan for a moratorium on rent increases and the creation of a relief fund for those affected by the pandemic regardless of their immigration status? • Idalia Rios o We have more than 6,000 McKenny vento kids not living in a dignify home. We need more protections and rental assistance for extremely low income families and undocumented workers. • Nathaniel Greensides o Oakland and LA have rent freezes. We need SantaAna City Council to vote yes on rent freezes throughout pandemic and six months after SIP is lifted. Why is this a priority when landlords are increasing rents during a pandemic? City Council focusing on the "hideous" aesthetic of radio/WiFi towers shows poorly placed priorities. o Measure X taxes are passed through to consumers by businesses; the revenues make our city better. Iglecias: tell us the truth! Who is truly prompting this? o City Council can enact a rent increase moratorium to help residents, please discuss that instead of Measure X • Victor Garcia o How is Santa ANA Police helping out during this pandemic throughout the city? o Will the taxes in the city be lowered for a while during and after this Pandemic? o Can there be increased penalties for people who graffiti , and more patrol for offenders who "tag"? Such as when there was stricter enforcement a couple years back? o Can we get verification is a rent freeze was passed? • Cynthia Guerra o Will the City create an emergency fund to help those impacted by the crisis? The current rental assistance fund is not enough. It was not created to withstand the effects of a pandemic. An emergency relief fund is especially urgent for our undocumented residents who do not have access to the financial assistance available like federal government assistance. o There are folks dealing with medical emergencies and income loss. Can a council member explain what justifies increasing rents during this emergency? We need a rent increase moratorium • Sarai Arpero o La comunidad Io que necesita mfnimo urge un congelamiento a los incrementos de las yentas y fondo de emergencia para las familias que por COVID19 perdieron sus trabajos "Urge" TRANSLATION: The community, what it needs at least, urges a freeze on the increases in rents and an emergency fund for the families that because of COVID19 lost their jobs "Urge" e The Avila Family o Please freeze the rent & increase of rent for all Santa Ana residents it's hard for alot to afford it since alot of people lost their job or got their hours cut due to the pandemic • Karla Juarez o Please confirm if a RENT FREEZE was passed. s Cecilia Bautista o Necesitamos su ayuda con las rentas ya qua muchos residentes se quedarbn sin trabajo. TRANSLATION: We need your help with the rents as many residents were left without work.
