Paola Elizabeth Morales, Resident of Santa Ana ( th November 9, 2023 Mayor Valerie Amezcua and the Santa Ana City Councilmembers Santa Ana City Council 22 Civic Center Plaza To Mayor Valerie Amezcua and the Santa Ana City Councilmembers, Good afternoon. My name is Paola Morales, I am a registered voter and longtime resident of the city of Santa Ana. I am contacting you today to implore you to follow in the example of Richmond, California and vote to present an official statement calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a stop to the increasing settler violence in the West Bank. th Since the October 7 attack, Israel has enacted an airstrike campaign that has taken over 10,000 lives in Gaza, including sixty of the hostages that Israel is attempting to recover. Nations around the world have denounced the State of Israel for their actions, and so have organizations including the United Nations and the Jewish Voice for Peace; Israel stands accused of war crimes including collective punishment, targeting medical facilities, targeting journalists, and an unlawful occupation. Furthermore, Israel’s restrictions on Gaza’s access to food, water, electricity, and medical equipment endangers the lives of everyone in Gaza, including the Israeli hostages. As citizens of historic and humanitarian Santa Ana, and as humans, we cannot tolerate the violations of human rights and dignity abroad or at home. We will not tolerate any hatred or discrimination towards any peoples; be them Palestinian, Israeli, Muslim, Jewish, or otherwise. They are people in need, and we cannot, must not, turn our backs to them. Urgently, Paola Elizabeth Morales.

More importantly, having met the Project Lead for Related Bristol, Mr Steven Oh, I believe he brings the integrity, ethics, professionalism and personal demeanor needed for a project of this size and complexity. Mayor Amezcua raised the concern over falling revenues at the November 7th Council. Her concerns were validated in the Staff budget report presented on November 21st indicating declining revenues in key industries in the City. Furthermore, MainPlace Mall is losing its vitality and is not a competitive venue for consumers. Finally, the residents have expressed little appetite for extending Measure X taxes. It should be patently obvious it can no longer be business as usual in Santa Ana, if we are to maintain our quality of life and services for our residents. R edeveloping the aging, auto-centric suburban shopping center on South Bristol Street into a walkable, people-first community of residences, shops, restaurants and programmed open green space will be a major economic boost to the City. Approximately 7,500 jobs will be created, along with an estimated $10.7 million in annual tax revenue, which will help fill the forthcoming Measure X Gap. Moreover, Santa Ana is central to many major employers and the City needs more housing to retain and attract skilled workers. Related Bristol will offer a diverse mix of housing and lifestyle options that will meet this critical regional need. I believe Related Bristol is the type of mixed-use development that City officials envisioned and advocated in the General Plan for the South Bristol Street Corridor. I support Related Bristol and urge you to approve this visionary development.

I have been seeking help for something endured here within the state. I am asking to have help with this from the local City Council. I need this to be looked at, and understood. I, as a person, was put through something that falls very close to this: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-biological-state-nazi-racial-hygiene-1933-1939 This began as a concern as I was attending a research University in Northern California a few years ago. Individuals with knowledge of the sciences were involved in this. As this was happening I could do nothing else but endure, stay centered and endure, attempt to keep routine, and send out messages for help. This was from raw physical damage, shock, and distress. I am right to expect money for this. I need to be supported for arrests and compensation. There is a large working document describing this here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lxZGhqQeruIEsRWMFGhIhmu3eM3N5FWE/view?usp=sharing . Please read through everything. I am asking for help with a California / American version of the same as this: https://claimscon.org/our- work/compensation/ , which should already be available as both restitution and a civil suit through normal legal channels. The concern is that I had been being prevented from this, continually, this is as I was being continually injured, continually in fear of death, and this appeared to be part of strategy by the people who were injuring, responsible for injury, meaning that this felt coordinated and intentional. There is an incredible amount of principle, and need, in having justice with this. Under no set of circumstances is injury and mistreatment like this, very understated, something which is acceptable, or something that can be expected to be let go of, and to move on from, without a thorough sense of justice, arrests, and thorough compensation. I cannot be asked to do this in any manner. Any person would expect the same. I do not care what people thought that they were doing, and I do not care what life position they are in. I do not care about their ego or prestige. There are lines that cannot be crossed with people in general, and this type of mentality, to make this acceptable, can never take a foothold in America. I am asking for assistance with attention on this, justice for this, and further than my case itself, prevention of this ever becoming something which is normal. The 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution has three main principles related to this: Congress shall make no law: 1. "abridging the freedom of speech" 2. "or of the press" 1 3. "right of the people ... to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" This is directly from the copy here: https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/constitution.htm I am asking for support with this. It is mandatory to have this for something like this. I need to have arrests, and I need to have compensation. My full and entire life was targeted by this. I have been attempting to seek a fair response to this through letters, emails, phone calls, and civil action. This is in the absence of an attorney, where I had been followed every time that I had sought one. This has prevented me from having access to my equal protection of the laws, per the 14th Amendment, also from the Constitution. I am asking for support for $45,000,000.00 from the state of California as a sum total legal outcome for all injury, damage, and suffering involved, approaching this without a lawyer. I am living with significant injury to the brain, living with this and working through this as I have been petitioning for assistance. The brain is your brain. It is everything you are, and everything that you can be. All memories and emotions that you have. It holds your sense of self. There was the direct intent in some of this to remove my ability to be myself from me. This is in addition to the other concerns involving love and reproduction. Any adult should take this seriously, anyone who dates, has a loved one, or a family. There is an inherent unacceptability with this that anyone should support. I am asking to have assistance with this number as a fair legal outcome from the state of California. If my understanding of the court system is correct I would be able to keep about 1/3 to 1/2 of this, maybe a little more. This would allow me security within my life, give a sense of justice, and allow me to move forward. This would not be the largest lawsuit within the state of California, nor the biggest number seen. This was brought up to me as a number, and I see this as a number which is fair. I am asking to have support for this. It is not normal to have to do this through this form of action. Until I have an attorney this is what I have been having to do. I have a lot posted for this on my Twitter account, which can be seen here: 1.

I did not have any help from Berkeley while I was there, so I have not listed them here. This would be something to bring up itself. The Mayor is Jesse Arreguin, my Berkeley City Council representative was first Kate Harrison at and and then Councilmember Sophie Hahn at The CA State Assemblymember is Buffy Wicks for Berkeley, CA. The CA State Senate representative is State Senator Nancy Skinner. I am concerned that her office was directly involved in doing this to me. I had reached out repeatedly to Assemblymember Wicks, and less so to the office of State Senator Nancy Skinner for this reason. I did not have help with this up there in general. There is no excuse for this. I need to have support for this. Sincerely, -Benjamin Andrew Stein 3 Flores, Dora From:Bianca Stopani <b.stopani@yahoo.com> Sent:Wednesday, To:eComment Subject:Re: Santa Ana Police Department Misconduct Good evening, I'd like to file a complaint against the two officers who were patrolling on Friday November 10, 2023 at 1: 25 pm. I approached a patrol vehicle that was parked in front of the station because I was followed by a vehicle. The firs officer in a rude way said "What's up? " and when I explained to him that I needed help he rudely responded " My partner will help me out?" His partner proceeded to ask me why I felt like I was being followed and refused to take a report. he said all I needed to do was to call 911 if something happened. Both officers appeared to be Caucasian and were not helpful. I would like to ask that the Santa Ana Police Department be held accountable and be required to take down a report no matter how menial it may seem. Thank you for your time ladies and gentlemen of the city council. Bianca Stopani 1
