Despite this case being a closed session item, there is no prohibition against providing a high level update to the residents showing what the city has received from K&S and what they will ultimately be providing with this additional funding. • The upcoming hearing to dismiss in January is of the utmost importance and K&S must be allowed to properly prepare for it which will take time. This hearing is a month and a half away. If the Council desires to continue with this case, the January hearing is a must win. • Assuming the case is not dismissed, discovery and ultimately a potential trial will be very time consuming for K&S to properly represent the City and its residents. In order to prevail, and potentially have the County pay attorney fees, it will take talented lawyering from K&S as well as cooperation from the city and possibly residents. For K&S to devote the time needed to potentially prevail, it appears that additional funding will be needed. • The county does not appear to be working in good faith in providing information to K&S (or the City) as evidenced by the OCSD providing records to me showing that they transported individuals across SPA lines into Santa Ana for the purpose of securing emergency shelter in Santa Ana in direct violation of the OCCW Settlement Agreement. In the County's response to the City in court, they indicated that they do not have any statistics on homeless transports to the city. In response to the 1s` Amended Complaint by the City, the County indicated "The Orange County's Sheriff's Department does not keep statistics related to the transportation of homeless individuals." (reference: Revised First Amended Complaint, Exh A, Page 18, item 68). • The county continues to have available pamphlets for the North and Southern SPAS that provide information to emergency shelters in Santa Ana (Central SPA) which also appears to be a violation, at least in spirit, of the OCCW Settlement Agreement which is producing continued disproportionate impact upon our city as compared to especially Southern OC cities. Please find attached prior correspondence showing the transports referenced above in bullet point #2 and as well as the pocket guides that are currently available on various websites. This information was previously submitted to the Santa Ana City Council in March of 2020. None of this information appears to be referenced in K&S/City's court documents, so I submit it to you again in hopes that it may be useful- note that this is for transports only from mid July 2019 through end of 2019 and does not include any potential transports to Santa Ana emergency shelters in 2020. Obviously, K&S/City has received its own information from the County through its PRA requests which may also be very helpful as shown in its court filings. Additionally, it is quite possible that even a larger burden is being put on Santa Ana through the nearly transport to the County Jail by OCSD persons struggling with housing and then subsequently being released, most likely onto the streets of Santa Ana (reference: Revised First Amended Complaint, Exh A, Pg 18, Item 67). The jail release procedures is a de facto way of transporting persons experiencing homeless, who may be violating a law no matter how small, from a South County jurisdiction without adequate shelter to Santa Ana by the OCSD- again, causing disproportionate impact upon our community. We have a decision to make... provide additional funding to K&S to further pursue this case or cut it off. 1 personally feel that we need to keep the legal pressure on the county and urge you to approve this increase in funding as long as K&S feels we have a reasonable chance of succes BUT please continue to pursue non -legal means to make progress with housing the county's and the city's population of folks experiencing homelessness with real housing including permanent supportive housing with wrap around services. Since the county is ultimately responsible for the physical and mental health of those on the streets, I urge you to work with the county in providing the necessary physical health and mental health care for those who are most vulnerable. I appreciate you taking this on and as always am available to speak with any of you, city staff, or K&S attorneys regarding any of this information. Blessings to you and your families as well as everyone at City Hall who is working in advancing this immensely important item. Rosc'll1)egc'T c.n.e..i a.ve •..w..
