Item 85A - NO
Please vote no on item 85A.
Crime should be addressed at the root cause, not in punishment. We need to move away from eye -for -an -eye
justice and punishment toward rehabilitation. 85A would be a move in the wrong direction.
Thank you,

Subject: Public comments for 9/1 City Council meeting: items 11C, 20A, 85A, 85C, 85D
Hello Mayor Mulido and City Council,
My name is Allegra Ringo, and I'm a resident of Ward 5 in Santa Ana.
I'd like to comment on the following items for the meeting today, Sept. 1st:
Item 11C: NO: We need affordable housing more than ever, and this proposed change to the HOO would make
it easier for developers to avoid building their required number of affordable units. As rental prices skyrocket
and people lose their housing during a pandemic, this is absolutely not what we need.
Item 20A: NO: The public has been demanding LESS police funding. They are already way overfunded, they
do not need money for their gym.
Item 85A: NO: Proposition 20 is regressive and undoes years of progressive work. Every "tougher on crime"
law that has passed in the last two decades has consistently made things worse. You represent a predominantly
Latinx city, a population that is disproportionately impacted by racist incarceration laws. Do not approve this.
Item 85C: NO: During a national pandemic, the last thing we need is harsher enforcement of laws
criminalizing homelessness and poverty. Furthermore, these laws do not work and we have seen that time and
again.
Item 85D: NO: Needle exchange programs have been proven to keep people with drug dependency safer.
Prohibiting these programs is the opposite of what is needed. This item is absolutely ridiculous.
These items are especially offensive this week. These are extremely regressive ideas and are literally the
opposite of what the people have been asking for. Please listen to your constituents. We are eager to vote you
out if you don't.

Items 85 A & 85 D
Major and Council,
Please endorse item 85 A - in supporting Prop. 20.. Let's do the right thing in make crimes that were felonies before that
are now misdemeanors. I cannot imagine that the date rape drug is now only a misdemeanor. Can you imagine the
horror of your daughter, niece or sister going through something like this and the attacker gets a slap on the hand. Bring
back justice to these crimes.
Item 85 D - Support this item to stop a needle distribution program in our City. Why ours? Get the addicts treatment
so they can have a better. Let not have our City be an enabler.

Subject: Item 85A— RESOLUTION ENDORSING PROPOSITION 20
I support a resolution endorsing Prop 20. As with many laws that are put in place, they have unintended
consequences and I think Prop 20 can help rectify that.
Most of us have seen or heard of people rolling out racks of clothes, walking out of Home Depot with
merchandise and bicycle chop shops in the Santa Ana riverbed, or RV's piled high with thousands of dollars of
bicycles. Why, because retailers and homeowners know law enforcement will not occur if the value is less
than $950.
It is my understand that AB 109 (2011), Proposition 47 (2014), and Proposition 57 (2016) were meant reduce
the overcrowding in the state's prisons. The unintended consequence is what we see today.
I support a resolution endorsing Prop 20.
Respectfully,
U4.t

Letter for Tonights Council Meeting
This letter is to support of Proposition 20. As a longtime Downtown stakeholder (since 1919) we have noticed
a huge increase in crime and attribute a lot of it to lessening of crimes (per Prop 20) and allowing people to
avoid being arrested and taken off the streets. In addition, and along those same lines, I also support 85D re
prohibiting needle distribution as we want to discourage needle use in our City and not make it easier and more
accessible. Both of these items are/could negatively impact the City and we need to do what we can to make
area safer and more inviting to all, not the opposite. The Downtown is being very challenged right now due to
COVID and streetcar construction and the crime/transient problem is further exacerbating this problem.
Thank you for your consideration.

Honorable Mayor & Council
Please vote in favor of a council resolution to support the passage of the Proposition 20 measure on the November 2020
ballot. This is needed to protect the citizenry of the state……..folks across the political spectrum in the state all agree
on the need for this cleanup legislation.

My name is Karla Navarro, and I am a lifelong resident of Santa Ana Once again we are urging you to defund police and
the militarization of our city. I am against item 20A Can that money be used for ANYTHING else ? ? Why will their
fitness center be in a residential area, this further more endangers our community.
I am against the approval of 11c
I am against the approval of 85 A
