Orozco, Norma <br />From: Patricia Martinez < <br />Sent: Monday, August 14, 2023 1:02 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Supportive of Item 14 <br />Good Afternoon, <br />I would like to extend my frustration regarding the open use of drugs in our city. It is heartbreaking that we must fight so <br />hard to get Item 14 approved. I am a resident in Ward 5 with 3 kids. We go for afternoon walks and it is distributing to <br />have to dodge the open drug users while trying to take a walk with kids. The use of open drugs is illegal and should not <br />be allowed. If I was to use drugs in an open space I guarantee you PD would have something to say. So why is that a <br />homeless or an addict on Bristol St or 1st doing drugs is any different and is up for debate to be allowed? Is it because <br />PD doesn't want to deal with the homeless or because they know they won't pay the fines or what is the reason? It is <br />owed to use Santa Ana residents for PD to do their job and send a message that we will not tolerate this action and will <br />do what it takes to keep our city safe. <br />All of you holding a seat in our city council live in Santa Ana and work to better Santa Ana. Why would you allow this? <br />Any council member who is not supportive of Item 14 goes to show who really cares about our city, our people and our <br />kids future. <br />Do what is right and what the law requires. The use of open drugs should not be allowed. <br />Thank you for your time. I hope you make the right choice and approve Item 14. <br />Respectfully, <br />Pat Martinez <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
