Flores, Dora <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br />Subject: <br />To whom it may concern, <br />Jeff Harris < <br />Tuesday, February 13, 2024 5:12 PM <br />eComment <br />Santa Ana Sanitation Service Rate Increase <br />I manage multifamily apartments in the City of Santa Ana and I want to express my opposition to the proposed <br />sanitation service rate increase being discussed by the City Council on February 20t". The Santa Ana RSO has capped our <br />ability to increase rent rates beyond 2.5% under the current CPI calculation; yet the City is also proposing an expense <br />increase of 119% in this new proposal. <br />The fact that the City is stifling our ability to reasonably keep up with skyrocketing expenses is bad enough, but for the <br />same entity that is capping our ability to recoup expenses to be the same entity contributing to the widening gap <br />between expenses and income is just adding insult to injury. Our property runs very efficiently and yet in 2023 our <br />income was up 4.1% while our expenses were up 10.5%. This is before the Rent Registry Fee has been implemented <br />which is going to further erode our return for investors. <br />I urge you to deny this astronomical rate increase, at least while the City continues to artificially hamper our ability to <br />recoup expenses. <br />Thank you, <br />Jeffry C.
