Carvalho <br />CITY CLERK <br />Jennifer L. Hall <br />Via E-mail and U.S. Mail <br />The City of Santa Ana hereby submits its response to the findings and recommendations in the 2022- <br />2023 Orange County Grand Jury report, "Historic Rain, Yet Drought Remains." <br />The City of Santa Ana (City) thanks the Orange County Grand Jury for the significant time and effort <br />that was invested to evaluate the important issues of water supply and drought in Orange County. We <br />appreciate the Grand Jury's recommendations of possible solutions and we look forward to being a part <br />of the solution. <br />The City of Santa Ana is the sole water purveyor for all of its 320,000-plus residents and the businesses <br />it serves. The City is unique in that it is one of the three Orange County founding member agencies of <br />Metropolitan Water District (MWD), a member of Orange County Water District (OCWD), and <br />contracts with Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) for various conservation <br />programs and regional services. Given our level of involvement with all three of these agencies, we are <br />committed to doing what it takes to protect the reliability of our water supply and delivery system for <br />the future. <br />The City appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback and comments on the 2022-2023 Orange <br />County Grand Jury Report. Per the 2022-2023 Orange County Grand Jury's request, and in accordance <br />with Penal Code 933.05, below are the City's responses to findings F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, <br />F 10, F 11, F 12, and Recommendations R2, R3, and R4. <br />SANTA ANA CITY COUNCIL <br />Valerie Amezcua Jessie Lopez Thai Viet Phan Benjamin Vazquez Phil Became Johnathan Ryan Hernandez David Penaloza <br />Mayor Mayor Pro Tem, Ward 3 Ward 1 Ward 2 Ward 4 Ward 5 Ward 6 <br />vamezcua(a�santa-ana.ora doenalozaO-Santa-ana.om <br />City Council 7 — 60 11/21/2023 <br />
