85C - NO
Vote no on 85C.
Homelessness should not be criminalized. Homelessness should be addressed at the root cause, not by further
traumatizing an already vulnerable population.
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.
Allegra Ringo

Subject: 85C- Homeless Issues
Mayor & Council, (cc City Manager and Ms. Flores)…You will be discussing item 85C tonight with regards to the city’s
response to homelessness. First, I urge you to take a housing first view in providing for the needs of those experiencing
homelessness and provide the services that they need. Secondly, I urge you to provide the full spectrum of housing and
service opportunities to those on the streets and in shelters. As you know, the city announced today that it is alleging
that the county of Orange is in violation of the OCCW settlement in terms of transporting individuals across SPA lines in
seeking of emergency housing. I continue to bring this to your attention so that those struggling with appropriate
housing can find housing in their own communities.
If you recall, I presented information at the March 3, 2020 city council meeting in response to closed session item
1D. Please see attached for the documentation provided to you at that time. This information continues to be as
applicable today as it was then. This information included pocket guides created by the county for both North and
South SPA directing individuals to shelters here in Sant Ana. I believe that these pocket guides are still available on the
internet. It is my belief that they are still being used. I have confirmed that these pocket guides are still on-line with the
city of Irvine (South SPA) and Orange (North SPA)- both list Santa Ana emergency shelters.
Additionally, I point you to page 2 of the attached which is a response from a Public Records Act request with OCSD that
I filed back in February 2020. This shows multiple transports by the county from outside of the Central SPA to shelters in
the Central SPA (i.e. Santa Ana) by OCSD. This is in violation of the OCCW settlement which is referenced on page 1 of
the attached. Please know that despite my efforts to the otherwise, the county has refused to provide the city of origin
of participants at The Courtyard siting confidentiality and also lack of information held by the county as a document.
Further, I urge the city to work with the county and OCSD with regards to jail release. There are county jail facilities in
each of the Service Planning Areas. Hence, the city of Santa Ana should not bear the weight of being the discharge
1
center for all of the county. In essence, cities under OCSD jurisdiction essentially will pick up someone with a minor
violation to the central jail in Santa Ana only to be processed and released onto the streets of Santa Ana. Often, the
individual’s possessions are transported to a separate location which requires them to pick them up at a later time. This
in essence is the county relocating individuals from other parts of the county to Santa Ana. I urge you to work with the
county to transport individuals back to the community they were apprehended in or at a minimum released through a
jail facility in the appropriate SPA unless they otherwise have verified transportation directly from the jail release facility
in Santa Ana.
I would also urge you to review the city’s own settlement in the OCCW case to determine if the city is also in violation of
that settlement. Additionally, please review your prior records with regards to filing of cases against other cities in the
county which the city never served the cities that actually needed to be served.
Thank you for addressing this matter. Your leadership is needed. Blessing to you all.
