MISCELLANEOUS ADMINISTRATION
19A. CONFIRMATION OF CLOSED SESSION ACTION(S) — City Attorney's Office
Mayor Pulido reported, City Council voted unanimously to direct staff to prepare
a demand letter to all Orange County Cities and to the County of Orange
outlining City of Santa Ana's demand for: 1) greater participation in resolving the
homeless crisis and 2) monetary reimbursement and contribution by the County
of Orange for the City's ongoing effort to address homelessness. Both must be
done.
We need to demand money now and we need immediate solutions as to how
we are going to protect our city and our residents. We had a historic hearing
with Judge Carter and around the county. Unfortunately, not all cities take part,
and their participation is crucial. Homelessness exists county wide. Judge
Carter reviewed County budget and has identified monies to address
homelessness. Shared the five items that Judge Carter requested from all cities
in order to divide the County into three areas: North County, Central County
and South County,
Acting City Attorney reported out that City Council confirmed the appointment of
the Executive Director of the Community Development Agency, Stephen
Mendoza; and Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency, Minh
Thai.

The following spoke on the matter:
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 23 APRIL 3, 2018
• Asmaa Ahmed, opined many in the community are experiencing fear and
concern over anti -immigrant rhetoric. Expressed support of City Council for
declaring the City of Santa Ana a sanctuary city.
• Carlos Perea, opined there is a rise of anti -immigrant sentiment in Orange

• Doreen Myers, addressed City Council to express concerns over sanctuary
city concept. Expressed opposition to item.
• Nayali Diaz, opined City of Santa Ana is a majority minority, are not rapists
or criminals and only want to make a living to support their families.
Council discussion ensued.
• Councilmember David Benavides, noted City Council previously took action
to formally declare City of Santa Ana a sanctuary city as a direct response to
anti -immigrant rhetoric being spread by candidate Trump. Opined many in
the community are fearful of threats and charges made by President Trump,
in order for a community to be safe there needs to be strong police and
community relationship, and deputizing local law enforcement to do the work
of the federal government breaks down the trust of the immigrant community.
Directed staff to prepare amicus brief and document outlining answers to
basic questions.
• Councilmember Sal Tinajero, noted when Donald Trump was elected City
Council did not hesitate, when the federal government asks a city for
information regarding a person who has been arrested they must comply,
and City of Santa Ana is in compliance with federal law. Opined community
becomes afraid to call police if city does not work with them, effort to inform
community that police officers are here to protect them and not go against
them, and continued efforts to build strong relationship with community.
• Councilmember Vicente Sarmiento, opined City Council is following the law
and need to file amicus brief to support State of California against federal
action against California. Noted Cato Institute study and findings indicate
undocumented population commits crime at a much lower rate than
mainstream population.
MOTION: Direct City Attorney to write Amicus Brief and draft a
document that address the value toward public safety and the benefit
of having community trust i.e. Frequently Answered Questions to
address the Sanctuary City Ordinance position of the City of Santa Ana.
