Becerra, Alexis <br /> From: Nelson Rodriguez < <br /> Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2026 2:04 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Support for Agenda Items #10 and #29 <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> Dear Mayor and City Council, <br /> I am writing in strong support of Agenda Items#10 and#29. <br /> The development of a Public Art& Preservation Policy is a critical step toward ensuring that Santa Ana's cultural assets <br /> are protected, maintained, and accessible to the community. Public art reflects our histories, identities, and collective <br /> memory. <br /> I also strongly support the identification and historic designation of artworks by Sergio O. Cadiz Moctezuma and Emigdio <br /> Vasquez.These works are foundational to Santa Ana's cultural landscape and deserve formal recognition and protection. <br /> I encourage the City to build on this momentum by establishing a Public Art Trust Fund with a minimum starting <br /> allocation of$50,000 to support long-term conservation, maintenance, and equitable investment in public art. Public art <br /> contributes to economic development by activating spaces, supporting local businesses, and attracting visitors. <br /> Together,these efforts move Santa Ana closer to becoming a true open-air museum—one that honors its artists, <br /> preserves its stories, and invests in future generations. <br /> I urge you to support both items. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Nelson Rodriguez <br /> Ward 2 <br /> 1 <br />
