FILE NUMBER
On March 15, 2016, the City Council approved an amendment to the Mater Dei Development
Agreement. Mater Dei independently submitted an Appendix to be included for consideration at
that evening's scheduled Council Meeting. As insufficient - notice was given, the City Manager
recommended that the Appendix not be approved due to concerns over the cost of the project,
the potential for an unfunded liability, legal requirements that place a burden on the City, and
increased liability in other areas. The City Council subsequently directed staff to analyze the
Appendix and bring it back to a City Council Meeting in 60 days. Councilmember Reyna
recommended that this request be included in the context of the budget process. Mayor Pro Tern
Sarmiento requested a 60 day period for staff and Mater Dei to provide accurate budget costs.
During the Mater Dei public comment on March 15, 2016, Patrick Murphy, President of Mater
Dei, referenced the 1999 Amendment when the City previously paid for similar types of
improvements as those currently being requested in the Appendix. During the research of the
1999 Amendment, staff was able to identify $550,000 in reimbursements made by the City to
Mater Dei. Staff has not been able to substantiate the source of funding for that expenditure,
although it appears that Gas Tax fund was most likely used.
Mater Dei has subsequently provided a revised project cost of $5 million. This is substantially
higher than originally estimated by Mater Dei (e.g. $2.5 to 3 million). Mater Dei has reduced their
request to a not to exceed amount of $2.5 million. At this time only General Fund dollars would
be available for a private development, such as the one being proposed. Mr. Murphy did indicate
that if the City Council did not approve the funding request associated with Appendix 1, the
school will raise the additional funds necessary to complete the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Receive and file the Mater Dei Update; and
2. Consideration of the following options and provide direction accordingly:
65A -1
Mater Del
May 17, 2016
Page 2
a. Fund the Mater Del Appendix request via an Amended Development Agreement, in
a not to exceed amount of $2.5 million, through the budget process (requires simple
majority; reduces the City Manager's Proposed Budget by $2.5 million)
b. Fund the Mater Del Appendix request via an Amended Development Agreement, in
a not to exceed amount of $2.5 million, from the General Fund Reserve. (requires
super majority vote)
c. Consider the Mater Del funding request in conjunction with other budget priorities
during the FY 16 -17 Budget. There would be no funding commitment; subsequent
budget decision would be done in the context of the budget process included with
other city needs and economic conditions.
d. Do not approve the Mater Del Appendix request.
DISCUSSION
Mater Del High School has been located in the City of Santa Ana since 1960. During that time the
City and Mater Del has worked collaboratively to make Mater Del a landmark in the community.
At the March 15, 2016 City Council Meeting, the Mayor and City Council approved the Mater Del
School Parking Structure and School Expansion Project, which amended the existing
Development Agreement. Mater Del subsequently presented the Mayor and City Council with a
proposed Appendix that would make further changes to the Development Agreement. Staff was
directed to analyze the Appendix. A brief historical reference of the development agreement is
provided below.
1995 Agreement
Development Agreement (NS -2260) approved for Mater Del H.S. expansion project (25 year
term). Key points of the DA:
• Allowed campus expansion via several parcels on east side of Baker Street
• City to vacate portions of Baker, Stanford and Pomona Streets and Edinger Avenue
• Construction of drainage improvements on Pomona and Stanford Streets by City per
DA Sections 7 and 11
• Dedication of land by Mater Del to City for certain improvements
1999 First Amendment
First Amendment to Development Agreement (NS -2389)
• Modified permitted uses section (Section 3) to allow parking lot use on additional
parcels
• Modified Special Development Standards section (Section 4) to clarify location of
setbacks, site access, access gates, fences, parking lot lighting, circulation
management plan and graffiti removal.
65A -2
Mater Dei
May 17, 2016
Page 3
• Modified Non - vested City Laws and Regulations section (Section 6) to allow TSIA
credit for demolition of any existing structure and clarified the timing of the payment of
drainage area fees.
• Modified Dedications and Street Improvements section (Section 7) to require City to
make median changes on Edinger Avenue, City prepares traffic analysis for traffic
signal, and identified phasing of off -site improvements.
• Modified Street vacations section (Section 11) to reduce timeline for City to complete
various improvements and require City to install street lights.
• Added Reimbursement section (Section 11.5)
• Added Exhibits section (Section 22)
• Added Hold Harmless section (Section 23)
2016 Second Amendment
Mater Dei High School is proposing to expand its campus and construct a new three - level, 990 -
space parking structure and a 30,820 square -foot, two -story academic building with 32
classrooms on the school campus. With the addition of the classroom building and parking
structure projects, the campus will ultimately contain a total of 267,146 square feet of building
area and 1,396 on -site parking spaces. To accommodate the parking structure, Mater Dei is in
the process of acquiring 19 single - family lots at the southeast section of the site. The purchase of
the lots, in conjunction with the proposed street vacations and utility relocations will add an
additional four acres to the school site.
In an effort to simplify the development agreement, staff has consolidated and updated the
original agreement (1995), the first amendment (1999), and the adopted (2016) second
amendment into a single document.
Mater Dei Appendix Request
Mater Dei submitted their requests for additional items to the Development Agreement via a
proposed Appendix. This appendix includes among other items, requests for the City to perform
the following:
• Street Vacation, Title Work, Mapping, and Processing of the street right of way (Section
11)
• Construction and Engineering work associated with the street removal /realignment
• Street removals and construction (Section 7.b.ii)
• Drainage construction (Section 7.b.iii)
• City Utility, sewer and water, relocation (Section 7.b.ii)
• Third Party utility relocation (Section 7.b.ii)
• Left -turn signal timing on Monarch Way and Edinger (Section 7.b.v)

Staff Review
Staff from the Public Works Agency, City Attorney's Office and the City Manager's Office
conducted an analysis of Appendix 1 as presented. Should the City Council desire to move
forward with any or all of the requests, staff would recommend an amendment to the
Development Agreement rather than an appendix. This would provide clarity and protect against
potential inconsistencies between the Development Agreement and the Appendix.
The language in section 11(a) is not advisable because it would likely require the City to expedite
construction, which could increase the overall cost of the project. Additionally, it would leave the
City open to liability if it was not possible to complete the work in the time frame proposed.
Section 11.5 is also not advisable because it would give Mater Dei complete control over the
work, which could lead to increased costs for the City. In such a reimbursement arrangement,
Mater Dei could take over the work, use any contractor they chose, and require the City pay the
cost without a predefined limit. This would become an unfunded liability to the City. The City
Manager requests a super majority vote as the future funds would most likely be reserve funds.
Should the Mayor and City Council decide to move forward, staff would recommend that a
predetermined amount be identified and that the developer be responsible for completing the
work as was previously done with the 1999 Amendment.
The City has fulfilled its promise to the original agreement, the first amendment, and throughout
the development of the second amendment. Staff did not promise or agree to any of the requests
within the Mater Dei Appendix request. During the Site Plan Review phase of the project, the
concept of City financial participation was not raised, and notes were added to the site plan
specifying that all improvements needed for the project were to be constructed at the sole
expense of the developer.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact will vary depending on the Mayor and City Council's direction. Below are
potential fiscal impacts for the three options presented as part of the recommended options.
a. Fund the Mater Dei Appendix request via an Amended Development Agreement, in a not
to exceed amount of $2.5 million, through the budget process (requires simple majority;
reduces the City Manager's Proposed Budget)
• This action would require the City Manager to adjust the General Fund Proposed
Budget by the total not to exceed amount. In this case, programs, services, and
staffing would be impacted by a direct amount allocated to this Development
Agreement. An exact proposal would be included as part of the City Manager's
Proposed Budget for City Council consideration and approval. This would be the
first time in three years that programs would be reduced or cut.
65A -4

• However the City of Santa Ana has identified significant needs in the areas of Public
Safety ($3.3 million) and Economic Development ($3 million), and the City has not
yet added back Police Officers reduced during the recession.
b. Fund the Mater Dei Appendix request via an Amended Development Agreement, in a not
to exceed amount of $2.5 million, from the General Fund Reserve. (requires super majority
vote)
• This action would require a reduction to the City's General Fund Reserve balance.
Currently the City has a General Fund balance target of 20 %. Although staff would
recommend assigning the corresponding amount in the reserve, the General Fund
Reserve would be reduced. In order to continue to meet the General Fund Reserve
target, staff would need to reduce and /or cut programs and services. The reserve
could be left at the lower amount, however it is not recommended as the recent AA
general credit rating by Standard & Poors included the 20% reserve level. The City
Council would need to authorize such a reduction of the General Fund Reserve
Fund.
c. Consider the Mater Dei funding request in conjunction with other budget priorities during
the FY 16 -17 Budget. There would be no funding commitment; subsequent budget
decisions should be done in the context of the budget process included with other City
needs.
• There would be no immediate fiscal impact by this action. Funding would be
evaluated at a future date.
• While this option does not provide certainity to Mater Dei, the option allows the City
of Santa Ana to make a funding decision during the budget process. This is
especially significant in that FY 16 -17 is a year involving new labor and
management negotiations.
Staff recommends option C. This provides the City with the ability to make funding considerations
in the context of priorities throughout the City.

AGREEMENT
This Appendix supplements that certain Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement
(the "Second Amendment ") dated as of 2016, by and between the CITY OF
SANTA ANA ( "City ") and THE DIOCESE OF ORANGE EDUCATION AND WELFARE
CORPORATION ( "Developer "). City and Developer hereby supplement the Second
Amendment as follows:
A. The second sentence of Section 1 of the Second Amendment is hereby deleted in
its entirety and replaced with the following new sentence: "This Second Amendment pertains
initially to the Original Parcel and Additional Parcel Nos. 1, 2, and 3, and shall apply to
Additional Parcel No. 4 at such time as Developer acquires title to all of the parcels comprising
Additional Parcel No. 4 and all necessary Street Vacations, Lot Mergers and /or Tract Maps,
Zoning Amendment Applications and General Plan Amendments, as applicable, are processed
by City in order to match the zoning on the Original Parcel with the Additional Parcels."
B. Sections 7 and 11 of the Second Amendment are hereby deleted in their entirety
and replaced with the following new Sections 7, 11 and 11.5:
Dedications, Street Improvements, Parking Structure and Performing Arts Center.

Modular Wetland Systems detail and the Parking Space & Area Summaries, all prepared under
The Austin Company's Project No. 08- 10167D0I (collectively, the "Site and Development
Plan "). The dedications and easements described in this subsection 7(a) shall be made by

11.5 of this Second Amendment.
City shall bear the cost of the preparation of a traffic analysis for the proposed traffic
signal at the main entrance to the school on Edinger Avenue at Baker Street. City shall also bear
any and all costs related to the design and installation of said traffic signal.
Developer agrees to make the dedication referenced in subsection 7(a), above, without
payment from City in consideration of receiving City's approval of this Second Amendment.
SMRH:475724784.2 65A -14
No other dedications of land will be required by City in connection with the Development
during the Tenn. However, nothing herein shall be construed to limit City's ability to acquire
any portion of the Property, or rights therein, through the exercise of its power of eminent
domain.
(b) The parking structure, the new Performing Arts Center and other on -site
building improvements are to be completed by Developer at Developer's sole cost and expense
as generally described in the Site and Development Plan. Those off -site improvements described
in subsections 7(b)(i) and (iv) below shall also be completed by Developer at its sole cost and
expense. Those off -site improvements described in subsections 7(b)(ii), (iii) and (v) below shall
be completed by City at City's sole cost and expense:
(i) Installation of a traffic signal and crosswalk at Bristol Street and
St. Andrew Place, plus a dedicated right -turn lane along westbound

incorporated herein by this reference. City shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove street
improvements from all vacated streets and construct public drainage improvements in the area of
the drainage easement granted to City by Developer pursuant to Section 7 hereof, in accordance
with the following terms and conditions:
(a) The street removal and drainage improvement work described above shall
all be completed by City prior to the last of the following dates:
(i) The date occurring one (1) year after the date on which City
receives written notice from Developer that Developer has
acquired title to all the Additional Parcels (provided Developer has
in fact acquired such title);
sMRIi:4757247842 65A' 1 5
(ii) The date occurring one (1) year after the date on which City
receives written notice from Developer that Developer has
removed all improvements from Additional Parcel No. 4 (provided
Developer has in fact removed such improvements); and
(iii) The date occurring one (1) year after the date on which Developer
dedicates the drainage easement specified in subsection 7(a) hereof
to City.
(b) City shall be responsible for the removal and /or relocation of all public
utilities located in the area of the streets which are to be vacated pursuant to this Section 11,
without cost to Developer (other than costs for any new utility connections which may be
necessary).
(c) It is understood and agreed that the drainage improvements to be installed
by Developer in the drainage easement shall be storm drains and surface drainage facilities, or
their equivalent, as depicted in Exhibits 9 and 9A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, or as otherwise approved by City's Engineering Division.
It is further understood that such surface drainage improvements may not be sufficient to
filly protect other improvements on the Property from stormwater damage during especially
severe storms, and Developer assumes the risk of such damage. Developer may install an
underground piped drainage system within the school property and may connect to any existing
City drainage facility. Once constructed, Developer shall be responsible for maintaining and
cleaning the on -site drainage facilities and shall keep the drainage facilities free and clear of all
impediments to drainage and shall maintain the five -foot strip to the east of the drainage
easement as a landscaped area. Developer shall provide City with a surface drainage easement
for public water flowing across the private parking area.
(d) City shall, at its sole cost and expense, prepare plans for and remove street
improvements from the vacated streets, relocate utilities and construct public drainage
improvements in the area of any drainage easement granted to City by Developer pursuant to
Section 7 of this Second Amendment, in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
(1) The traffic access and circulation, utility service and drainage will
be continuously provided to the parcels within the block adjacent to Additional Parcel

the context of standard spacing requirements utilized citywide.
SMRI- 1:4757247842 6 5A3' 1 6
(4) Once all required street vacations are completed, the Additional
Parcels shall be merged with the Original Parcel into a single new parcel by means of a
lot consolidation process. Developer shall file, process and record the lot consolidation.
The lot consolidation shall be completed prior to the issuance of building pen-nits.
(5) City shall retain existing utility easements for sewer, water,
drainage and maintenance purposes within the newly consolidated parcel as shown on
Exhibit 7 attached hereto. Developer shall allow City access to all City utility easements
within the former street rights -of -way abandoned for the Project, where necessary as
determined by the Public Works Agency. If Developer denies such access to City, then
Developer shall hold City harmless against damages and all other claims resulting from
the condition of City utilities which City was unable to repair or maintain because of such
lack of access.
(6) It is understood and agreed that the drainage improvements to be
installed by City in the drainage easement shall be storm drains and surface drainage
facilities as depicted in Exhibits 9 and 9A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, or as approved by the Public Works Agency. City may, at City's sole cost and
expense, install an underground piped drainage system within school property. Once
constructed, Developer shall be responsible for maintaining and cleaning the on -site
drainage facilities and shall keep the drainage facilities free and clear of all impediments
to drainage.
(7) City shall, at City's sole cost and expense, relocate the four utility
poles, guy wires and associated utility lines located between Berkeley Street and

Exhibit 10 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
11.5 Developer's Reimbursement Option. If Developer determines that City's timeline
for completion of some or all of the off -site improvements to be completed by City pursuant to
this Second Amendment may not result in completion prior to commencement of school
operations, then Developer may, at its option, notify City in writing that Developer has elected to
take over construction of some or all of such off -site improvements, in which case the following
shall apply:
(a) In the event Developer elects to undertake construction of some or
all the off -site improvements pursuant to this Section 11.5, City shall reimburse Developer for all
costs and expenses so incurred by Developer. Developer shall submit progress payment invoices
to City for the actual costs of construction. Payment by City shall be within 30 days after receipt
of each invoice, subject to City accounting procedures. Final payment shall occur after all off -
site improvements being constricted by Developer are completed and accepted by the Executive
Director of the Public Works Agency.
(b) Bidding Requirements.
SMRH:475724784.2 65A;-1 7
Developer shall enter into contracts for the constriction of any off -site
improvements which Developer elects to construct. City shall approve the award of any such
contract to the lowest responsible bidder. Developer's bid package shall:
(i) Require use of prevailing wage rates for off -site pubic
improvements;
(ii) Use City approved bid package;
(iii) Employ bidding process in accordance with City procedures per
Santa Ana Municipal Code § 2 -805;
(iv) Require that all change orders for off -site public improvements
shall be approved in writing by the Executive Director of the
Public Works Agency prior to the commencement of work; and
(v) Provide that the bids shall be delivered under seal directly to City.
Alternatively, should City and Developer jointly elect, the off -site public improvements
maybe bid and contracted for using the "management contract method." Should Developer
propose use of the management contract method for such improvements, it shall identify in
writing a proposed management contractor. Upon receipt of this request, the Executive Director
of the Public Works Agency shall review such proposal within three (3) working days. Should
the parties choose to utilize the management contract method for construction of the off -site
public improvements, the bidding requirements, as set forth above, shall be modified so that
separate bids shall be submitted to City for each trade. The management contractor shall
perform none of the construction itself unless it is awarded a separate contract therefore as the
lowest responsible bidder in subsequent bidding under the procedures set forth above.
(c) Constriction Requirements
Developer shall carry out the design, construction and the operation of the off -site
improvements in substantial conformity with all applicable laws, ordinances, statutes, codes,
rules, regulations, orders and decrees of the United States, the State of California, the County of
Orange, the City or any other political subdivision in which the Property is located, and any other
political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality exercising jurisdiction over City, Developer or
the Property, including all applicable federal, state and local occupation, safety and health laws,
rules, regulations and standards, applicable state and labor standards, prevailing wage
requirements, City zoning and development standards, City permit and approvals, building,
plumbing, mechanical and electrical codes, as they apply to the off -site improvements, and all
other provisions of City and its Municipal Code and all applicable disabled and handicap access
requirements, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disability Act, 42 U.S.C. §
12101 et seq., Government Code § 4450 et seq. and the Unruh Civil Rights Act, Civil Code § 51
et seq. (Governmental Requirements). Developer explicitly acknowledges that construction of
the public off -site improvements shall be subject to the requirement that Developer shall pay
"prevailing wage" rates pursuant to Labor Code § 1720 et seq. and that this standard shall
constitute one of the Government Requirements.

Subject: Mater Dei to get city funding
I just wanted to drop a line to tell you I am a homeowner in Santa Ana and I do not support the city giving any
money to Mater Dei. We have much more important things to spend our scarce city funds on,
I would be happy to contribute ideas I'd needed.
Serve the city, not a private school.

Hopefully you guys don't do as Mater Del wants and fund for an expansion because that will not be fair to our
community. As the article says, many don't even live in Santa Ana and taking away Santa Ana's property for them would
be absurd.

No! The public fanding is for the PUBLIC. Not a private school. I'm sorry but if they move out then so be it.
Most of the kids axe from out of the city. No way in hell we should give them our money. Use it on school
programs in Santa ana to keep the lids from joining gangs. We need It more than a parking lot. Think about it.

No Funds For Mater Del
My Dearest City Council,
As a lifelong resident of Santa Ana, I feel that as representatives of our city you have gone too far. How can you
even think of giving Mater Dei 2.5 million dollars!!! Our own public schools can use that money! Mater Dei
can afford to pay for it themselves. As MX representatives, I ask that you DO NOT give Mater Dei any
money!! 1!
Sincerely and extremely aggravated,

Subject: Mater Doi Expansion- make the right choice
I feel saddened to know that there is even a city counsel meeting being held to address this expansion for Mater Del.
Being a Santa Ana resident, and being one of the student whom completed my education in the public schools, it angers
me to know that a private, very profitable school has even asked the city to pay for it. Our public SAUSD are the ones
who really need this money, and there should not be a reason as to why the city should even fund this project. I'm sure
if you rounded up a small group of parents of the children that have attended and currently attend Mater Del, they
would complete the millions being asked. I hope the city council thinks of this the right way and mattes the CORRECT
decision, and give the money to the people who REALLY DO need it.
Thanks.

Importance: High
Hello,
I strongly disagree with spending the city of Santa Ana to pay for the cost of this private high school. Most of their
students do NOT reside in Santa Ana; therefore it should be funded by their cities.
If they decide to move, Santa Ana can definitely benefit from having a charger school and another fundamental school in
this same location.
Thank you

Why should taxpayers pay for a parking structure on a private school? Don't they get enough tax breaks? This does
not benefit every community tax payer in Santa Ana nor any household that does not send their child to that school.

Re: 17 May 2016 Council Agenda Item #65B
Dear Council Members and City Manager Cavazos,
I am Catholic, I am American. I believe in the principle of separation of Church
and State. But, I do not think it is inappropriate for a community to appropriate
funds to private schools so long as that money does not support the religious,
ideological or academic mission of the institution.
Mater Del High School has always contributed and continues to contribute to our
City in tangible ways of public service, It also contributes in intangible ways. As
an institution known for academic excellence, it is an asset to Santa Ana. Mater
Del graduates almost all of its students -our local public high schools do not
compare favorably in this regard.
Mater Del graduates are very likely to become productive members of their local
communities and many of them come from families who have deep roots in
Santa Ana, so they have good reasons to return here after pursuing higher
education, where they continue to provide a positive financial and social
presence to Santa Ana.
All that being said, I DO NOT THINK THIS PROPOSAL IS IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE OF SANTA ANA. It is just too much money and it
looks to me like the bulk of their, admittedly desirable and probably needed,
plans for expansion would be placed on the backs of Santa Ana taxpayers.
I don't believe this expenditure is proportional to the benefit that tax payers
would receive. I CAN support some City funding, for the reasons I have cited
above, but not at this magnitude.
Sincerely,
Bobi Keenan

Subject: Mater Dei Expansion
I completely support the expansion and contribution to Mater Dei by the City of Santa Ana. I was born and
raised in Santa Ana. I attended Mater Dei. I came from low income family and l know ALOT of students who
also went to Mater Dei on scholarships based on needbase. IF 1 would have not been given the opportunity and
scholarships there is absolutely NO WAY 1 would have obtained the level of education 1 did at Mater Dei, nor
would 1 have become the attorney 1 am today.
Yes, some will argue that only a select few go there but that is because they or their parents do not reach out and
apply. Theres always been the argument that money should go to other schools in Santa Ana but who? OSHA -
who is heavily funded by the Samuelie Foundation? Santa Ana High who recently received a HUGE donation
from Olmos? Segerstrom, Century High School do not need the funding.
Why not give it to the high school that will generate the most prestige, income, and opportunities for the City?
1) Bringing consumers to local SA business that would not otherwise come here to consume;
2) Allow for the City of Santa ana to receive nationwide recognition via the school i.e. sports, media, etc
3) Give Santa Ana residents the opportunity to choose where they want to be educated;
4) Continue to give Santa Ana residents the opportunity to receive ahigh calibur education that they would not
otherwise be able to obtain if it wasn't for low income scholarships for SA residents,
S) Maintain the tradition in the City,
6) And lastly, allow Mater Dei to educate SA residents that will be tomorrows SA leaders!!!

Dear Miguel A. Pulido,
I was present at the last City Council Meeting and joined in applauding the Escalante family in
their 50 years as a business in Santa Ana. And I applaud you as Mayor in dealing with all the
issues found on your full Agenda. I may not make it to the next City Council Meeting where an
issue 65B regarding Mater Dei High School was continued but wanted to share my thoughts
and recommendation.
Founded in 1950, 1 am a proud graduate (Class of 1972) and applauded Mater Dei's decision to
stay in Santa Ana back when many voices were encouraging them to leave.
65A -33
I applaud Mater Dei's continued efforts to invest in the development of a high quality Center
of Education whose notoriety nationwide reflects back on our City of Santa Ana and the
commitment to excellence.
I applaud Mater Dei's commitment to ensure that our families from our schools and
neighborhoods in Santa Ana have a chance to send their children to Mater Dei through its
robust Tuition Assistance Program. As Pastor of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church on
McFadden & Center St. I can testify for many of our families.
I applaud the City of Santa Ana for its work with Mater Dei in the cooperation around the
widening of Bristol St., the addressing of neighborhood parking issues and the new
construction of facilities and playing fields that has transformed the M.D. Campus into
something that we can all take pride.
As we continue towards future projects together I encourage our City of Santa Ana to
guarantee the funding of the Agreement Appendix that has been previously set. I am
confident that you and your colleagues will determine how best to fulfill the City of Santa
Ana's commitment and assign which year's City Budget timeframe best fits our common good
in this City of Santa Ana.
With best regards,
Rev Edward Poettgen
Pastor of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church

Dear Mayer Miguel Pulido and Santa Ana City Council Members,
My name is Kathleen Kelly and I am a Santa Ana resident, a Mater Dei High School Graduate, Class of 1994
and a current Mater Dei High School employee.
I will be in attendance at the upcoming June 7 SA City Council Meeting but I wanted to ensure you that you
have residential support of the upcoming vote for the amendment to the Mater Dei High School Development
Agreement on the docket that evening.
As the youngest child or six Mater Dei graduates, I have been around this school for nearly my entire life. My
oldest brother began his freshman year at MDHS when I was just 2 years old and I began working at Mater Dei
the summer after my college graduation. This school truly is a family. A family that supports students through
millions of dollars of need -based financial aid each school year. Much of which is awarded to Santa Ana
residents.
This familiar spot at the corner of Bristol and Edinger has been a beacon in this great city for 65 years. About
27,000 MDHS graduates have walked these halls in Santa Ana. Mater Dei's commitment to remaining in Santa
Ana and it's commitment to the students of Santa Ana is amazing. As you well know, there were numerous
opportunities for MDHS to move elsewhere in Orange County but MD has continued to invest in our city and
our residents and remains one of the best high schools in the country, right here at Bristol and Edinger.
The partnership of the school and the City through the robust redevelopment of the campus has been
fantastic. With the final phase just around the corner, I urge you to continue that partnership by guaranteeing
fiscal support of the public works portions of the upcoming parking structure construction.
Thank you for your time,
Kathleen Kelly
