Construction Contract for All American Asphalt – I understand that this work may have been done, but what kind of inspection of work is being done for these repairs. Myself and my family have driven on many streets that were “supposedly” repaired, but they are actually done very poorly and need more work. In particular is the area of Raitt and th 5 Street. The road was repaved, however it still has the same holes and very uneven pavement that makes driving in that area hazardous and taxes your vehicles wear and tear. Please ensure that if you are approving companies to do work, that it is thoroughly inspected and that the city has the right of refusal to pay unless it is fixed to the council / citizens satisfaction. If the repair was done to your home driveway, you know that you would be un-satisfied with the work and want it fixed. Treat of city streets like it your street and the money is coming out of your pocket. 25G. Amendment to Police Officers Association – Please do not give the police officers of our city a pay raise at this time. The extension needs to be a length of at least 2-3 years so that the police department can be thoroughly investigated for the issues that have been raised in recent weeks. We do need our officers, but we cannot in good conscience provide them a pay raise when many of them do not perform their duties in a proper fashion, to include harassment of citizens, police brutality, corruption, and a basic lack of human decency for all citizens of our city. 85A and 85B. Please pass this order as the wearing of face masks and having hand sanitizer available due to the COVID- 19 pandemic is a must for the citizens of Santa Ana, Orange County, California, and our country as a whole. As we all have seen, the positive test rates have increased since the Governor started to open things back up. All business should adopt the policy of “NO MASK, NO SERVICE” and not allow people without a mask in their premises. I have seen too many people just walking around like they are invinsible and will not get the disease. It is starting to reach people of all ages as the new reports show that the average age of those contracting the virus is decreasing. We must realize that we are not just taking these precautions for ourselves, but for our fellow man. 85C. Please approve this action to have the Staff report on how to curb / stop the street racing in South Santa Ana. Too many nights we can hear the cars screatching down the streets at all hours and have the sound turn into a crash. Our family has lost friends to these actions and they are senseless deaths that could be avoided. While this may seem to be a difficult task, it is a task that must be tackled head on and with great persistence. We are losing too many young lives of our city who could have gone on to live successful and fruitful lives. We need the police to be more proactive in stopping these incidents from happening. Please have a report ready to be discussed and ask the public for their thoughts as well as their lives have been directly touched by street racing. Lastly, I did not see an agenda item where the council is reducing the budget for assisting persons who are potentially being deported or held by ICE. Please excuse me I missing this in the agenda. Cutting this funding is a travesty. There are way too many people in our city who need this assistance as it is vital to them and their family to be treated fairly and with respect in being in our city and country. Please increase the funding back to prior levels or to an increased level so that the Immigrant Defenders Law Center can do more good for our citizens.
