In Patch Orange County there's a follow-up reminder that OC cities should explore other options immediately, so they don't end up trapped in another bad contract with the county. OC Cities are Badly Served by OC Animal Services. Is Reform Possible? https://patch.com/california/orange-county/oc-cities-are-badly-served-oc-animal-services-reform-possible-nodx Yes, reform is possible. There are other entities (such as nonprofits) who can manage better than bureaucrats and the inept director.

I was with the Youth on 7/7/2020 when they took control of our city. In the wake of the George Floyd murder at the hands of police, our empowered Youth demanded an end to political corruption and to Defund the Police; they demanded we steer our investments in the direction of Youth, instead of the perpetual, historical criminalization of our People. Thank You Councilman Vazquez for walking the line with our students at the school district level as we transition into this new era, the gateway to the everlasting quantum financial system in the Kingdom of Zion. We the People are very proud of you Ben, for your integrity, for all of your years of service and sacrifice to the Community, Empowering the Youth to trust themselves, and how ultimately, how we know WE keep us safe. We are unafraid. As we move forward, We continue to pray for your protection and lift up the role you have in our beloved Sanctuary City that we all work so hard for, and that we have dedicated our lives to.

Use caution when opening attachments or links. Hello Please forward this to the proper department- thank you: To Whom it May Concern: I support AAOC's position that this would be a disastrous regulation and am asking for your help to defeat this bill. As a property manager for many small mom & pop rental owners this would devastate the small rental investors and force them to sell their property. Thank you https.11www. aaoc. comlnews/agmd-moves-to-force-replacement-of-gas-furnaces-and-water- heaters Proposed rules 1111 and 1121 will be presented for formal consideration and action at the SCAQMD Board Meeting on May 2, 2025. The proposed regulations are extremely problematic. Not only would they impact housing affordability due to the prohibitively high cost of compliance, but there is also insufficient infrastructure to support the increased electrical loads and demand that would be created. Additionally, the regulations would result in countless families being displaced as their rental units would be uninhabitable due to the extensive work and disruption that would result as multifamily properties seek to comply. Compliance will likely cost tens of thousands of dollars - or more - for each rental property in Southern California.

(Ord. 3263 §1, 2018; Ord. 3222 §8 (part), 2015) FULLERTON MUNICIPAL CODE Chapter 15.04 INTERPRETATION AND DEFINITIONS EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR HOMELESS means housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less, and where shelter is provided on a first -come -first - served basis. No individual or household may be denied emergency shelter because of an inability to pay. Temporary shelters established in response to an emergency or disaster (such as flood, fire or cold -weather occurrences), or temporary shelters ancillary to a church use do not fall within this definition. FULLERTON MUNICIPAL CODE Chapter 15.04 INTERPRETATION AND DEFINITIONS RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION means an establishment the principal purpose of which is religious worship and for which the primary space is a sanctuary. Religious activities and services held in the sanctuary are conducted at scheduled times and in an organized fashion. The establishment may also include accessory facilities in the same or separate building including classrooms, assembly rooms, restrooms, kitchen, library or reading room, emergency shelter, subject to approval of an Application for Emergency Shelter for Homeless (Religious Institution) Permit and a single-family dwelling unit for use by the institution. Facilities for uses that have been defined separately in the Code, such as a day nursery, private school, community/social service or a human service agency, are not considered an inherent part of this establishment. FULLERTON MUNICIPAL CODE Chapter 15.55 PROVISIONS AND CONDITIONS FOR SPECIAL USES 15.55.030. Conditionally permitted special uses. k. An application for an Emergency Shelter for Homeless (Religious Institution) Permit shall be made on a form provided by the City at least 30 days prior to opening, for the purpose of review and approval by the Community Development, Police and Fire Departments of proposed operational, management and security procedures. HOUSING ELEMENT 2021-2029 NOVEMBER 2021 CITY OF FULLERTON HOUSING ELEMENT DRAFT 5. Homeless Population and Transitional Housing Enumeration of the homeless population is difficult because of the transient nature of this population and the existence of the "hidden homeless" or persons that move around in temporary housing situations. To estimate the number of homeless in the city an analysis of existing studies and estimates was utilized. The County of Orange Housing and Community Services Department undertakes a biannual "Point -in -Time" survey of the homeless population as part of its application for homeless assistance grant funds to HUD. The most recent Point -in -Time survey (January 2019) estimated that there were approximately 308 unsheltered and 165 sheltered homeless persons in Fullerton at the time of the survey 1. State law requires that jurisdictions quantify the need for emergency shelter and determine whether existing facilities are adequate to serve the need. An emergency shelter is defined as "housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by a homeless person. No individual or household may be denied emergency shelter because of an inability to pay." If adequate existing facilities are not available, the law requires jurisdictions to identify areas where new facilities are permitted "by -right" (i.e., without requiring discretionary approval such as a use permit). As noted in Chapter 3 the City's Zoning Code allows emergency shelters in compliance with State law. 1 County of Orange, 2019 Point in Time Homeless Report, July 30, 2019 use permit). As noted in Chapter 3 the City's Zoning Code allows emergency shelters in compliance with State law. There are currently two emergency shelters in Fullerton, one operated by Women's Transitional Living Center providing 55 year-round emergency beds, and the Fullerton Navigation Center which provides 150 beds. There are also two transitional shelters in Fullerton providing a total of 99 beds for homeless individuals and families. The City assisted in the construction of a 36-unit affordable supportive housing development, completed in 2018, for homeless persons, including those will mental illness, that added 59 beds to the inventory (Figure 2- 25). The City as part of the North County Service Planning Area entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in 2019 to build and operate two year-round shelters with 250 beds. These shelters were built in Placentia and Buena Park, immediately adjacent to Fullerton. The City also funds emergency services for victims of domestic violence through Lutheran Social Services (approximately 45 victims) and emergency shelter at Bridges at Kraemer Place (200 beds). Figure 2-25 — Emergency, Transitional and Supportive Housing Facilities — Fullerton Operator Beds Emergency Shelters WTLC 55 (year-round) Fullerton Navigation Center 150 (year-round) Transitional and Supportive Housing Pathways of Hope 44 Women's Transitional Living Center (WTLC) 55 A Community of Friends Supportive Housing 59 Source: City of Fullerton, 2021 In addition to these emergency, transitional and supportive housing facilities, there are two singleroom- occupancy (SRO) facilities in Fullerton providing housing to persons at risk of homelessness. The City Lights SRO was constructed downtown in the late 1990s and has continuously provided 137 single room occupancy apartment units since then. Of these, 136 are deed -restricted subsidized units. In 2014 the City approved a conditional use permit for conversion of a former hotel, Hudson Ridge, to a 149-unit SRO with rents limited to 30% or 50% AMI. Emergency Shelters and Low Barrier Navigation Centers Emergency shelters are facilities that provide temporary shelter for persons who are homeless. Emergency shelter is usually for 180 days or less. The Municipal Code allows emergency shelters and multi -service centers by -right in designated portions of the M-P (Manufacturing Park), M-G (Manufacturing General) and C-M (Commercial Manufacturing) zones subject to the following criteria and standards: • Maximum of 50 beds • Off-street parking at a rate of one space per 15 beds, plus one space per each staff person • Secured bicycle parking • Screened waiting and intake area • Maximum 6 months length of stay within any 12-month period • Minimum 250-foot separation between emergency shelters or multi -service centers • Minimum 1,320-foot separation from any residential property, K- 12 school or public park • Site Management Plan identifying hours of operation, services to be provided, staffing, security and communications procedures The portions of the M-P, M-G and C-M zones where emergency shelters and multi -service centers are permitted by -right are depicted in Exhibit B-3 of Appendix H-B. These sites are clustered in two areas of the city: the Northern Industrial Area and the Southeast Industrial Area (see Appendix H-B, Exhibits B-3a through B-3d). Eligible sites include 61 parcels encompassing a total of 69 acres and ranging in size from approximately 0.1 to 35 acres. These sites are within one-half mile of a bus transit line and commercial services, and many are vacant or underutilized and could accommodate an emergency shelter. Like many other cities in Orange County, Fullerton is largely built -out and has few undeveloped sites; however, there are a number of vacant buildings or tenant spaces among the eligible sites that could be remodeled for shelter use without the expense of ground -up construction. Warehouse areas are particularly adaptable with interior, non-structural walls and upgrades to plumbing and other facilities (see additional discussion in Appendix H-B). Based on the allowable shelter size of 50 beds, the estimated total need of 200 to 350 homeless persons, and the 63 existing year-round emergency shelter beds in Fullerton, six additional shelters could fully accommodate the City's shelter needs. Even without considering potential shelter capacity on the campuses of 25+ religious institutions in Fullerton (which can provide emergency shelters for up to 12 persons by -right in any zone), sites in the M-P, M-G and C- M zones where the Zoning Ordinance permits emergency shelters and multi -service centers by -right are estimated to have at least five times the potential capacity needed to meet the City's shelter needs. Emergency shelters and multi -service centers that are approved subject to a multi -jurisdictional agreement are permitted by -right even if they do not strictly comply with applicable development standards. Other emergency shelters and multi -service centers that do not comply with applicable standards may be approved subject to a conditional use permit. Emergency shelters with up to 12 beds are also permitted as an accessory use to religious institutions. AB 139 (2019) revised State law regarding parking standards for emergency shelters. To ensure that City development standards and procedures continue to provide adequate sites for emergency shelters, Policy Action 4.4 includes a component to process a Zoning Code amendment to revise parking requirements for emergency shelters consistent with current law. Low barrier navigation centers. In 2019 the State Legislature adopted AB 101 establishing requirements related to local regulation of low barrier navigation centers, which are defined as "Housing first, low -barrier, service -enriched shelters focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing." Low barrier means best practices to reduce barriers to entry, and may include, but is not limited to: (1) The presence of partners if it is not a population -specific site, such as for survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault, women, or youth (2) Accommodation of residents' pets (3) The storage of possessions (4) Privacy, such as partitions around beds in a dormitory setting or in larger rooms containing more than two beds, or private rooms" Low barrier navigation centers meeting specified standards must be allowed by -right in areas zoned for mixed use and in nonresidential zones permitting multi -family uses. Policy Action 4.4 includes a component to process a Zoning Code amendment to establish regulations for low barrier navigation centers consistent with current law. Transitional and Supportive Housing Transitional Housing is defined as rental housing operated under program requirements that call for the termination of assistance and recirculation of assisted units to other eligible program recipients at some predetermined future point in time, which shall be no less than a six-month period. Supportive Housing is defined as housing with no limit on length of stay, that is occupied by the target population and that provides a significant level of onsite or offsite services that assist the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible, work in the community. Target population means adults with low-income having one or more disabilities, including mental illness, HIV or AIDS, substance abuse, or other chronic health conditions, or individuals eligible for services provided under the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Division 4. 5 (commencing with §4500) of the California Welfare and Institutions Code) and may, among other populations, include families with children, elderly persons, young adults aging out of the foster care system, individuals exiting from institutional settings, veterans, or homeless people. The Municipal Code permits transitional and supportive housing in all residential zones subject to the same standards and procedures as apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone, in conformance with State law. In addition, transitional and supportive housing facilities that do not comply with all development standards may be permitted subject to a conditional use permit. In 2018 AB 2162 amended State law to require that supportive housing be allowed by -right in zones where multi -family and mixed uses are permitted, including non-residential zones permitting multi -family uses, if the proposed housing development meets specified criteria. Policy Action 4.4 in the Housing Plan includes a component to process a Municipal Code amendment to ensure that the City's transitional and supportive housing regulations are consistent with State law.

(a) A peer -reviewed research study was just published, showing how important it is to allow visitors access to the kennels at the animal shelter. The OC animal shelter hasn't returned to pre-COVID access yet.

This is a peer -reviewed research study. It focuses on dogs that have been at the shelter 9 or more days. In the 2019-2024 period, whenever there was kennel viewing there was a higher adoption rate. Excerpt: In the period 2019 2024 but excluding 2020, adoption rates were 1. 04% 1.18% per session (with an average of 1.10%) in viewing sessions versus. 0.68% 0.80% (with an average of 0.74016) in non -viewing sessions.

Flores, Dora From: Kimberly D < Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2025 8:27 AM To: eComment Subject: Follow -Up on Sahuayo Mural Project Scoring & Arts and Culture Meeting Cancellation - 03/20/25 Attachments: Pages from ARTS GRANT GUIDELI NES_application.pdf Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor Amezcua and City Council, I am following up on my previous email regarding the Sahuayo Mural Project and the ongoing concerns surrounding transparency, fairness, and public accessibility in the selection process. To date, I have not received a response addressing the inconsistencies in my scoring or a justification for why my qualifications were deemed insufficient despite my extensive experience in public art. 1. Lack of Justification for My Low Score The scoring breakdown I received provides no clear rationale for why my scores were significantly lower than in previous evaluations. For instance, how is it possible that I scored a 50 in a category where I previously scored a 90—especially when my expertise and contributions to public art in Santa Ana are well -documented? The two brief comments provided do not justify such a drastic drop, and the lack of detailed feedback raises serious concerns about the fairness and objectivity of the evaluation process. I am once again requesting: A detailed explanation of why my scores were so low in each category. Reviewer comments or notes that justify these rankings. Clarification on the scoring criteria used and how the final scores were determined. 2. Absence of Legal Oversight & Conflict -of -Interest Concerns During the February 20th meeting, where the final rankings were presented, I did not see any legal counsel present to oversee the fairness and integrity of the process. Given the serious concerns raised about conflicts of interest and inconsistent application of RFQ criteria, the presence of legal oversight would have helped ensure that ethical standards were upheld. I am also requesting clarification on the following: Who is responsible for verifying Conflict -of -Interest forms submitted by commissioners? Who audits these forms to ensure compliance and prevent ethical violations? What is the city's process for reviewing potential conflicts of interest once a concern has been raised? If there is no designated oversight or auditing process, this raises serious concerns about accountability in how public arts projects are being awarded. 3. Recognition of My Expertise Yet an Unexplained Low Score My contributions to Santa Ana's public art scene have been recognized in multiple ways, including: • My advocacy directly influenced city policy changes, such as increasing the Sahuayo Mural Project budget from $20,000 to $49,000 to align with the scale change from the Perla wall project to the Garage wall. My recommendations are being implemented in the final version of the Mural Restoration RFP. If my expertise is valued enough to guide budget allocations and policy improvements, then why am I scoring so low across multiple categories without meaningful justification? 4. Lack of Transparency in the Arts & Culture Commission Meeting Process I would also like to address the sudden cancellation of the Arts & Culture Commission meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 20, 2025, which has now been pushed to next month. This is a major concern because: The public has already been unable to fully access meetings, since the video feed has been blacked out, leaving only audio available. Now, with this meeting being canceled, the public has no opportunity to see or hear anything at all. This lack of accessibility and transparency creates a horrible look for the city, further limiting community engagement and trust in the decision -making process. 5. Need for a More Transparent & Equitable Review Process To illustrate how a more experienced and transparent arts department operates, I have attached a scoring rubric from the City of Costa Mesa. Unlike Santa Ana's process, their evaluation: • Includes a clear rubric with structured criteria. Provides detailed reviewer feedback that prevents inconsistencies. Offers a transparent method for artists to appeal or understand their ranking. Santa Ana's current approach lacks the necessary documentation to justify scoring discrepancies and does not provide artists with a clear way to challenge or review their evaluation. 6. Formal Requests for Transparency & Accountability Given these concerns, I am formally requesting: 1. A detailed justification of my scoring in the Sahuayo Mural Project, including any reviewer notes or evaluation criteria. 2. Clarification on who oversees conflict -of -interest forms for commissioners and what process is in place to ensure compliance. 3. A clear explanation for why the March 20th Arts & Culture Commission meeting was canceled and whether public concerns regarding transparency are being taken into account. 4. A commitment to making city meetings fully accessible to the public, ensuring both video and audio are properly streamed. 5. A reevaluation of the Sahuayo Mural Project selection process, halting its progress until the public has had an opportunity to weigh in on the selection of finalists. This should include diverse voices, gender equality, particularly the latino voice, to ensure a fair and inclusive decision -making process. If the goal of the Sahuayo Mural Project is to celebrate our cultural ties between Santa Ana and Sahuayo, Mexico, then the selection process must reflect integrity, fairness, and transparency. The lack of clear documentation, unexplained scoring discrepancies, and now further public exclusion through meeting cancellations only undermine trust in the Arts & Culture Commission's ability to manage public art projects equitably. I appreciate your prompt response and look forward to your clarification on these points. Kind regards, Kimberly Duran Creative Director I The Heavy https://www.5hmi.com/ Flores, Dora From: donna nguyen < Sent: Monday, March 17, 2025 11:09 PM To: eComment Subject: Email Public comment on non -Agenda item 3/18 Attachments: Sahuayo Mural Review Form.pdf, Staff%20Report.pdf, ARTS GRANT GUIDELI NES_application.pdf Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear City Leaders: My name is Donna Nguyen and I am a resident in Ward 4. I am reaching out to my city leaders out of concern regarding the Arts & Culture Committee Meeting on February 20, 2025. Since the Commissioner seat for my ward has remained vacant for quite some time, I feel it is my duty to request oversight from Santa Ana City Manager and City Attorney regarding the Sahuayo Mural Project anticipated for Spring 2025. Being that this mural is of a large magnitude and is projected at $49,000 (excluding permit and insurance) funded by a grant, essentially subsidized by taxpayers, careful governance needs to be applied to the committee's decision. Please observe the Proposal Selection Criteria. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is "open to professional artist and artist teams living and working in the City of Santa Ana." "SELECTION PROCESS: The City of Santa Ana - Arts & Culture Commission will review all submissions. Up to two (2) artists and/or artist teams will be selected to participate in this transcultural mural project, celebrating the connection between Santa Ana and Sahuayo. The selection panel will review and evaluate the applications based on the following criteria (but not limited to): 1. Demonstrated experience in mural creation & public art. 2. Professional and technical capacity to plan, coordinate, and execute a mural project in collaboration with City of Santa Ana staff, city reps, contractors, and the general public. 3. While not required, a connection with the city of Sahuayo is preferred. 4 HOW TO APPLY All applications must be submitted via Submittable.com. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, January 7, 2025 at 11:59 PM (PST). A complete submission must include all the information and materials described below. The online application will prompt you to submit the information directly into the fields and to upload the submission materials described in the application guidelines. Please prepare all required materials before logging onto Submittable.com. Incomplete and late applications will be deemed ineligible and not be considered. 1. Application Cover Sheet: Complete and submit the Application Cover Sheet online. Worksheet provided at the end of this RFQ. 2. Letter/Statement of Interest: [Limit I page. Formatting guidelines: Double spaced, 12 points Times New Roman, one -inch margins] Describe in a couple of paragraphs your vision for the mural and your connection to the cultural collaboration between Santa Ana and Sahuayo. 3. Artist Portfolio: [Limit 6 files, high resolution JPEG or PDF files only] In a single or a series of up to six images, please submit images of your past work. 4. Current Resume(s): [Limit 2 - pages. PDF or DOC format only] Resume(s) should reflect artist experience designing, fabricating, and installing artwork in outdoor public settings. Resume(s) should include information regarding past public art commissions, design experience, exhibitions, awards, grants, and education. 5. Additional material included that is not requested by the Arts & Culture Office will not be reviewed." I have several concerns. On the city website, there was no scoring rubric and point distribution scale at the time of the application period for this specific project. The city should have published the point distribution criteria that the committee would use when judging the entries beforehand, as shown in the 5 attachment. This item was not made public at least not to all applicants before and during the process. By publicizing this guidance, applicants would know beforehand the value basis of each criterion and thus allowing individuals and/or teams to be truly competitive. The vagueness in the contest specifics allow for seemingly arbitrary judgment by city commissioners without real avenues to contest results (see attached City of Costa Mesa guidelines and their transparent scoring rubric on page 11). It appears to me there is a conflict of interest. Many of these entries are under alias identities(see attached). For example, applicant 42 is Up In Speed Murals which after research is Damin Luj an dba ZAO Art Inc, who was previously awarded an Arts and Culture Artist Grant Project in July 2022. It is no secret to the community that both muralists Applicant 41 Brian Peterson and 42 Damin Luj an have collaborated previously on many instances whether the projects were funded directly or indirectly via pass - through for example, community development partners. It appears that Peterson and Luj an have collaborated on Placita Cinco, Casa Querencia, Project Unity, multiple homeless shelters and most recently the Archways. Applicant # 1 Peterson and 42 Luj an were chosen for the top two slots vying for the Sahuayo Mural Project (see attached). With their history, one would question why this powerhouse duo did not collaborate on ONE application. Instead, they each submitted their own and once again monopolized an opportunity. Had they been transparent and submitted one application, this would facilitate for a more equitable process and make room for an additional artist from the roster to collaborate. Please see applicant 46 Luis Barajas Ochoa who is individually named with two others but is also under his alias name Barajaso in position 44 (essentially a duplicate applicant as mentioned during the Arts & Culture Meeting). Is there a maximum amount a contestant can apply under various aliases? Please see applicant 411 United Artists of Santa Ana, which is a collaboration of unknown artists. Identification of individual artist under 6 their collaborative groups would ensure a level playing field and transparency at the time of bid entry. Please review 412 Miguel Ochoa. After further research, this appears to be the new Arts and Culture Commissioner who was appointed and sworn in recently on February 18th, 2025, representing Ward 5. Why didn't this entry withdraw knowing he was pursuing a position on the committee? Lastly, I would like to again call attention to the agenda of the last Arts & Culture Meeting dated February 20, 2025. There seems to be some visual issues, and I was not able to confirm if a city attorney representative was present. I am disturbed by the fact that City Manager Nunez who was present, allowed for this process to prevail knowing that Peterson and Lujan have a proven history of dominating community development projects. It appears Peterson is given preferential treatment when it comes to large scale murals in our city. What opportunities are resident artists left with? What does this say to emerging artists who want to thrive and compete against the same winners? What does this say to the constituents who see the same style of art everywhere to the point it begins to look commercialized? Muralists Peterson and Lujan will always have the advantage when competing for future proposals because the city contracts with them frequently more so than any art team thus building their portfolio so that anyone else who competes would be unmatched due to the lack of opportunity to showcase their work at a municipal level. In conclusion, as one can see this process can be highly criticized by the public as it appears to potentially allow biasness due to others wards unrepresented on the committee, preferential treatment due to lack of governance and denies equal protections due to an obscure vetting and quantitative scoring system for each of the three listed criteria not being disclosed beforehand. As a constituent, one must question if this type of favoritism or neglect were to exist in the Arts & Culture Committee, what other commissions in our city have similar questionable practices? Please reconsider your committee's choice and process as the city is not obligated to commit to the selections as stated on the city's website. Thank you.
