December 19, 2016 Mr. Mayor and Members of the Santa Ana City Council: Over three years ago I was asked by councilmembers as to what I needed as President and CEO of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce in a City Manager. My answer was two things: One, accessibility to the City Manager and two, Economic Development experience. At that time you hired David Cavazos as our City Manager. I have found the past three years an excellent working relationship with David. He has been very responsive and accessible to myself, the Chamber, and our Members. He has also given direction for Economic Development for our city. Along with that he has brought stability to the City Manager's office. I sincerely continue to appreciate all of you as the council and mayor in working together to continue to promote and build our great city of Santa Ana. We have a great team here with greater days ahead. Respectfully submitted Blessings in 2017, ,ZQXZ� David Elliot President & CEO - Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce Santa Ana, California 1631 W.

Please circulate the below to the Mayor and City Council for tomorrows meeting. Happy Holidays! Thanks! Ryan Chase S & A Management 129 W. Wilson St. Ste 100 Costa Mesa, CA 92627 949 - 722 -7400 949 - 722- 8855(Fax) Honorable Mayor & City Council, It has come to my attention and understanding that the City Manager is up for review and possibly in process of being removed from his position. As a longtime City stakeholder would like to say that I personally have had a very positive and productive relationship with the City Manager and am excited about all the great things happening in the City. But rather than take a horse in this race, I think its important to look at this beyond the current person, and more so about the impacts it can have both within the City and from the outside looking in. As many of you know Santa Ana has had a very "challenged" reputation in the county and business community for decades, and in my opinion the last thing we need is more unrest and lack of stability when things are finally starting to come together. I equate it to a pro sports franchise, and it seems like the ones who continue to make changes at the top are the ones always treading water at the bottom of the standings. The City seems to be moving and trajecting in the right direction and would hate to lose that positive and upward momentum with more changes. Please consider every and all options before making a drastic decision that will impact the City, to what degree is unknown, for years to come. Thank you.
