Orozco, Norma From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Dear Honorable Mayor & Council; timrush@bhhscaprops.com Tuesday, December 21, 2021 8:13 AM Sarmiento, Vicente; eComment Ridge, Kristine Council meeting 12/21/21 Banning of Fireworks in SA Tonight you will consider an item of monumental importance to the health and well-being of all folks who dwell in our city ....... and that is the outright banning of all types of fireworks, both safe and sane and others. It is my hope that you will carefully consider how a yes vote to ban these fireworks will have such a positive impact to improve the "quality of life" of all of us. Yes, I know there will be a financial impact to the non profits who benefit from the sales. But when you weigh the pro's and con's I think it is obvious that the negatives have far outweighed the positives for several decades. Not to mention I would submit that in real dollars the share of the "fireworks dollar" that is ultimately going to the non profits has been plummeting for many years. If for no other reason than that the illegal fireworks are far outstripping the sales of "safe and sane" fireworks. All one has to do is stand on any elevated platform in town and observe the mayhem that unfolds from 4pm on to the wee hours in literally every direction to see that the firepower of the illegal fireworks is causing so much harm, not just to humans but our furry friends and the environment. All of you are very focused on the environment and I can't think of anything better you can do to help it than ban all fireworks in Santa Ana. The neighborhood movement has cried out for relief from this scourge for decades and hopefully tonight will be the night we can all "breathe easier" after your yes vote! Thank you for your consideration ............. With this, I remain........ Sincerely yours, & Merry Christmas.
