I am part of a team of students that have been monitoring several cities in Orange County to see what measures they are taking to protect low-income and homeless populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am writing today to express my concern regarding the closure of public restrooms. Many cities are closing public facilities, including parks, as a measure to prevent further transmission of the virus. I have seen that as of April 2, Santa Ana has closed even more of its public facilities to discourage gatherings. This is an admirable step to take to protect those who are fortunate enough to have somewhere to shelter in place, but different considerations must be made for homeless and housing -insecure populations. Many people depend on these public facilities, now more than ever. In light of the recommendations passed down by the World Health Organization to "Do the Five," including frequently and thoroughly washing your hands, to halt the spread of the virus, access to public restrooms is particularly important for these populations. The CDC has recommended that homeless populations avoid crowded shelters during this time, so many people are left with no other option but to depend on public restrooms for personal hygiene. For those homeless people who are in shelters or camps, the virus is almost certain to spread quickly, and treatment will inevitably be difficult to come by for these populations. As of April 1, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach have both agreed to keep some public restrooms open to the homeless populations to help halt the spread of COVID-19. 1 urge you to follow their lead, and make an effort to inform homeless populations of the available facilities. The more Orange County residents who become infected, the longer the pandemic will continue. Please consider taking further steps to protect our most vulnerable populations. 4A Best, Carson Capps Carson Capps he/him/his UCl Law J.D.

This Is Lisa Gonzales- Solomon as you know I am the principal of Madison but today I come to you as a resident. We need your help, as residents, as workers, as families and as students. I am here requesting that as a city we take steps and measures to help prepare us to have citywide wi-fi. I know this Is not a simple process but If we can start planning by connecting with providers, connecting with business owners and building owners, establishing additional access points and planning and preparing to establish WIT -mesh networks- we would be able to ensure that our community would be able to work and learn remotely. Asa district we have provided Chromebooks and hotspots. I am notJust asking for our students but for our greater community- students in college, people working remotely, our community who is being asked to stay home but still need to keep in touch with family and friends and need access to resources and information. . I am requesting that we as a city prepare for citywide WIFI by also reaching out to Google or internet service provlderalvendors to open up access to our community. (notJust two month plans.) We need to as a city work with our school district and our state and county elected officials to see what support our city can provide and to see what support the state and county government can provide to our city. Now is a time we need to come together for our people. Our world is changing and it would be amazing to see our Great City loading the way. We know you are already looking out for our citizens and their safety but this would be one more way we can continue to have open lines of communication and provide access to education, to work, and to much needed resources and Information. You would truly be our HEROES If we were the first city to announce steps we have taken to ensure our community has citywide WI-FI access. Our kids, our families, our workforce and our community needs It. Thank you.
