Dear Mayor and Members of the Santa Ana City Council,
On behalf of the Apartment Association of Orange County (AAOC), I write as a follow up regarding the upcoming
proposed adoption of the Proactive Rental Enforcement Program (PREP).
After having had the opportunity to meet with city staff to examining the varying positions and provide industry
feedback, we are happy to have reached agreement on the current items of concern, specifically the adjustment of the
annual rental housing inspection per unit fee.
With our support, city staff recommends a $2.00 increase in the total PREP inspection fee which includes all city
costs. As well, the matter of future PREP fee adjustments being benchmarked to the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) will
be tabled until a citywide comprehensive department fee study is completed. We believe these changes are reasonable
and necessary. The Apartment Association of Orange County therefore supports the staff recommendation.
For over 25 years, the Santa Ana Proactive Rental Enforcement Program has served a valuable role in ensuring that all
residential rental properties in Santa Ana be maintained in full compliance with the applicable provisions of the Santa
Ana Municipal Code, the various California Codes and the State of California Health and Safety Code.
The Apartment Association of Orange County is proud to have helped start this program. We remain partners to this
day.
We look forward to continued work in our mutual interest and shared goals in the Santa Ana rental housing market.
Should you have any further questions, I can be reached directly at (714) 245-9500.
I remain,
Lou Penrose
Executive Director
