Use caution when opening attachments or links. Hello- My name is Deilah Snell. I am the owner of Alta Baja Market, a business in downtown for 9 years. PLEASE do not raise the parking rates. All this is doing is distracting customers to our businesses (I get complaints every time there is an event and there is "event parking") and hurts the people who own and work in these businesses. Support your downtown that has been hurting for YEARS. Make it easy and affordable for customers to support us. Thank you. -- ¡Salud!

Use caution when opening attachments or links. th Hi there, I have been working in DTSA for over 10 years. I park at Fiesta. I have worked for 4 Street Market, I used to have my own business, and now I currently work for Alta Baja Market. With all the disrup?on in DTSA, parking is the worst. We are small businesses just trying to get by. By raising parking rates, it will deter guests, frustrate employees and we will lose business. While I do not have a monthly pass anymore, they went from $40 to $50. And I understand that they will go to $90/mo? For what? Crea?ng a super dangerous experience in Fiesta with Spurgeon going through? It’s certainly not keeping the structure any safer (vandalism, drug use, etc). Then with the events that happen down here, none of which beneﬁt the local businesses, we have had to pay a ﬂat rate to park, even though we are employees (and can prove as such). And we are told that “cash is best”. Really? Sheila Anderzunas When we no longer have good cooking in the world, we will have no literature, no high and sharp intelligence, nor friendly gathering, nor social harmony. -Marie-Antoine Caréme 1 Zuniga, Diana From:sheila.anderzunas@gmail.com Sent:Tuesday, March 18, 2025 12:27 PM To:eComment Subject:Fiesta Parking Structure Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Flagged Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.

Sent from my iPhone 1 Becerra, Alexis From:Jimmy Cabral <jcabral@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, March To:eComment Cc:Lopez, Jessie Subject:City Council meeting – agenda item 16 Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Council-member Lopez, I am writing to express my concern about the last-minute addition of the parking meter rate increase to tonight’s City Council agenda. The item was placed on the agenda last Friday afternoon, which does not allow for sufficient public notice, comment, or analysis. Rushed decisions, especially those that impact residents financially, undermine transparency and public trust. The community deserves a clear explanation of why this increase is necessary, how the additional revenue will be used, and what alternatives, if any, have been considered. At this point, none of these critical questions have been answered. I urge you to either oppose this measure until the public has had an opportunity to review and weigh in on it or request that it be postponed for proper discussion. Residents should not be blindsided by last-minute proposals that could have a direct financial impact on them. Please let me know your position on this issue and whether you will advocate for greater transparency in this process. Thank you for your time. 1 Becerra, Alexis From:Lucila Gutierrez <lucila.gutierrez1@icloud.com> Sent:Tuesday, March To:eComment Subject:#16 No Paring NO Meters Parking Enterprise Fund Updates for Meters and Structures Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. March 18, 2025 Re: Item #16--Don’t Raise Parking Rates Dear Council Members, As you all are very aware the downtown community was extremely hard hit by the COVID 19 pandemic and the closing of many of the streets in the downtown for the OC Streetcar construction. Downtown is still not even close to recovered. Many small businesses are still shutting th and many of the store fronts on 4 St. are vacant along with vacancies throughout the downtown. The last thing the downtown businesses and customers need is a price increase on parking. Please don’t raise prices at this time but wait until the downtown is better recovered. Thank you for your service and your consideration, Kim Tapfer th Business and Property Owner, 106 -102 W. 4 St., Santa Ana, CA 92701 4
