Very Truly Yours, Roger & Shirley Stone Riverview Neighborhood Association Resident WS 1A -3 Alcala, Abigail From: Edgar Hernandez <edgar @crossmortgage.com> Sent: Friday, April 22, 2016 1:42 PM To: eComment Subject: Riverbed area To those responsible for our parks and bike trails, My concern is what's being done about the growing homelessness problem in the riverbed areas under freeway and street overpasses. Specifically through the bike trails. Drug use and trash are more and more visible each time I ride through it. I'm a Riverview neigborhood resident and every time i use the bike trail between 17th st and Memory Lane, I notice there's more and more homeless in the area. This cannot lead to anything good, and I believe this to be a huge health issue for the homeless and a safety issue for everyone. there's a new bike rest stop /park adjacent to the memory lane, city drive corner and it boggles me how this million dollar project is being built literally 15 feet away from a homeless camp that seems to "shelter" about 20 homeless people. This means that this new park will be contested between the bikers and the homeless that will use it to probably bathe, sleep, and do drugs. If the city and the SAPD don't do anything about it, I can predict the homeless will win over this park. I would like to know what is being done about this, for the sake of our residents, and all our children, we need to maintain the parks safe.

Very Truly Yours, Michelle Gallegos Riverview Neighborhood Association Resident WS -A -14 Alcala, Abigail From: Gallardo G. <m- acustomwoodworl<s @hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, April 25, 2016 1:02 PM To: eComment Subject: Riverview Neighborhood Hello Mr. Cavazos & City Staff of Santa Ana, I hope you find yourself doing good this morning. Let me begin by thanking you for your commitment to Santa Ana residents, and improving the city. We trust in our officials. On behalf of this letter, I write to you to petition improvements in our neighborhood. My name is Nancy Gallardo, and I reside in the west part of Santa Ana in the Riverview Neighborhood (17th St & Alona). Our neighborhood Association "RIVERVIEW" has been active in the past few years. We fundraise for our yearly "4th of July block party" and other small events for the neighborhood. Additionally, our neighborhood has meetings and use "Yahoo Groups" to communicate w/ each other pertaining to dumpster days, fundraising events, suspicious behavior in our streets, etc. This year with the help of residents, we were able to voice our need and get our sidewalks ADA approved for wheelchair bound folks. This was a success because indeed we have many residents with walking disabilities and benefit from ramps. With funds being a crucial step to improve our park, among the following are items we would like to see implemented: 1. Concrete Trash Bins in the Picnic Area & Baseball Stands. (a total of 5 -6) *The current trash collectors are "plastic ", very flimsy, and outdated. *SA Pony Baseball is the heart of our park where kids /families gather on the weekdays /weekends. *We definitely need sturdy trash bins there, they will last a long time as well. 2. Park Signs w/ Basic Rules to Follow - I've seen park signs at other parks w/ the rules, but for some reason not at Riverview Park. Park Rules will give park users guidelines to follow and not abuse park privileges. We want to make the park safe, and currently homeless frequent there and make it they're living quarters. I know we have a city wide "homeless problem ", but we also are tax payers and want to build property value in our neighborhood to attract buyers. Some Rules can be: - Picnic area- Reservations are highly recommended- please call (714) 571 -4233. - Trash- Place all your trash in the bins and keep it clean for the next user. -Call Police or Park Ranger if you see any Illegal /Suspicious Activity. WS -A -15 3. Restrooms - The Restrooms unfortunately are in a very "poor state ". I've lived in Riverview since I was a young child (30 years in the area), and very few improvements have been made. Being that its a public restroom, you get the homeless and careless teens vandalizing it. The restroom is very old looking, could possibly be mistaken for a "prison restroom ". What it needs is literally a facelift: new sinks, new wall partitions, new hand dryers, new lighting, new toilets, fresh paint. Restrooms should be locked in the night so that they don't get vandalized as well. Signs inside the restroom that say "you will be fined if caught vandalizing" would be a great suggestion. *Again, making the park an ideal place to visit for our neighbors will improve Supporting us with Park improvements is Ron Ono from Parks & Recreation whom has given us estimates and projected times. He has met with a resident in our neighborhood and have discusses some key elements. This is how serious we are about wanting Riverview Park to be improved. We know it may take some time to get the aforementioned in effect; however, we are willing to work with city staff officials. Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

I'm not aware of any city residents or neighborhoods asking the city for those funds to be allocated to Segerstrom HS. Who specifically requested $500K from the city's 2016/17 budget for synthetic turf and rubberized track installation at Segerstrom High School? I would like to point out the following: 1. The synthetic turf has already been installed at Segerstrom HS. Pics attached. 2. Currently there is no Joint -Use agreement between the city of Santa Ana and SAUSD for Segerstrom HS. 3. In 2015, the city proposed allocating $525K for synthetic turf installation for the Joint -Use facility at Centennial Park and Godinez HS but those funds were never approved. I'm not sure why the city would allocate $500k to a SAUSD property which was just built 10 years ago when there are multiple city Parks and Rec. projects that would benefit from the use of these funds. I would greatly appreciate if the city would reconsider allocating the $500K to purchasing and staffing a bookmobile equipped with computers for the city's Library to use. Our city Library had a bookmobile that served neighborhoods throughout the city for many years, but it was sold as surplus during the city's financial crisis. A bookmobile equipped with computers would . better serve the entire city, and help bridge the digital - divide with the youth in our city. It would also meet several of the city's strategic plan objectives: WS -A -19 Goal #2 — Youth, Education, and Recreation Objective 3. Expand use of technology as a tool for communication and education in the community. Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability Objective 6.
