Hall, Jennifer From: Carolyn Killion/USA <Carolyn.Killion@cushwake.com> Sent: Friday, July 21, 2023 2:31 AM To: eComment Subject: 7/18/2023 Council Meeting - Supporting Councilmember Requested Item #39 Dear Mayor and Councilmembers for City of Santa Ana, As the general manager for 3 Hutton, 4 Hutton and Hutton Centre Association located in Ward 4 at Main Street and MacArthur Blvd and 2223 E. Wellington Ave and 1200 N. Tustin Ave, we are in full support of councilmember Phil Bacerra's Requested Item #39 to allow the City Manager to provide direct communication and policy to the Santa Ana Police Department Officers to detain any individuals that are within the City of Santa Ana boundaries who violate existing state law related to individuals found in public places under the influence of drugs or controlled substances where they are a danger to themselves or others. Officers would be granted the authority to transport these individuals to the Santa Ana Jail for processing, and prior to release, they would be provided with information on available substance -abuse treatment services. The individuals that are loitering or lingering around our properties are looking for food, money or trying to buy/sell illegal substances has continued to increase causing security concerns for our tenants, residents and customers and also lower property values. Our properties have experienced increased vandalism/theft (graffiti, stolen copper pipe, vehicle break-ins causing increased operational expenses for building owners and owners of vehicles to replace or repair stolen or damaged items) and health issues for our team members who have to clean up areas where these individuals have used our sidewalks, landscape areas and parking structures as restrooms (urine, feces, blood and drug paraphernalia — needles, foil, cigarette butts, etc.). Item 39 would be a step in the right direction to help mitigate the problem and yet it is compassionate in caring for those that have either fallen on hard times or have become addicts by providing these impaired individuals with resources that can aid them obtaining a better quality of life. We look forward to your full support and yes votes. Oairoiyin A...
