Subject: Protect Santa Ana from lead and other environmental toxins
Dear Santa Ana City Council and Mayor Sarmiento,
The community is being impacted on a daily basis by environmental hazards like lead and fossil fuels. We need to treat
this like the emergency it is and put in place protections for all Santa Ana residents.The resolution brought forward by
Council member Lopez is a good first step and road map for actions our community can take to resolve these pressing
issues.
Fossil fuels don't just exacerbate climate change, but also poison people. Study after study has shown that extracting,
transporting, refining, and burning fossil fuels harms environmental and human health—and new evidence shows that
toxic air pollution from fossil fuels also makes people more vulnerable to poor outcomes from COVID.
We must phase out fossil fuels from our daily lives—whether it's gas stoves causing asthma, tailpipes blanketing our
streets with smog, or gas stations poisoning water supplies and spreading cancerous chemicals like benzene. It's clear
we must start moving to clean energy systems—and soon. Our community should be running on clean, renewable
energy no later than 2030.
But it's not just fossil fuels that are harming our community. Many neighborhoods in Santa Ana suffer from
disproportionately high levels of lead in their soil,which can lead to serious developmental and health issues.The city
must do more and protect our residents.
Addressing these issues won't just improve health, it will also improve local economy.The Biden administration is
investing money in green infrastructure buildout, and we need to make sure we have shovel ready jobs prepared.
What's more, cleaning up environmental pollution and converting our energy systems are massive job opportunities that
could bring family-wage jobs to thousands of people in Santa Ana.
I'm writing to you today to ask you to please implement the contents of the climate and public health emergency
resolution that calls for an end to fossil fuel expansion, clean renewable energy choices that save money, actions that
will reduce lead and other environmental toxins in our neighborhoods,family-wage jobs, and an endorsement of the
Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty initiative. We can reduce pollution that is cooking the planet and poisoning our
communities while improving the quality of life for every Santa Ana resident.
Please please follow through with what this resolution promises and start taking local action by passing policies that
stop fossil fuel expansion, speed up the clean energy transition, reduce local pollution, and empower our local
community and economy.
Thank you,
Gabrielle Schiller, M6R 2T4

Subject: Banning Ghost Guns in Santa Ana
I think everyone knows that Ghost Guns are weapons which can not be
traced. Thus I would like to ask Council to direct the City Manager and
the Police Chief to write an Ordinance banning Ghost Guns. The
ordinance should include fines if violated.
40% of the crimes involving guns in LA County are with Ghost Guns. I
do not know what the percentage is in Orange County or in Santa
Ana. But I am sure the percentage is increasing. So I think it is time to
ban Ghost Guns in the city of Santa Ana.

Subject: City council meeting on Dec 7th @ 5:45pm
Good day,
This is more of a question then comment.
How can we enforce permitted parking for those "residents" who DO NOT live in the area. Our neighborhood is
becoming overwhelmed with more and more cars parking in our area. Especially if the city is putting up more
apartments.
What is recommended for this type of issue?
Pls advise.
