Dear Orange City Council,
I'm writing to inform you about the vital services that Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) provides to the residents of Orange-free of cost. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fair housing, we offer:
• One-on-one confidential counseling on landlord-tenant issues, including rent increases, repairs, and evictions. • Investigation of housing discrimination complaints to ensure all residents have equal access to housing. • Free educational workshops covering tenants’ and landlords’ rights and responsibilities. These workshops are held weekly and are available in multiple languages.
Additionally, we would like to invite you and the community to our upcoming Virtual Fair Housing Workshop on March 11th from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM. This event will provide valuable information on fair housing laws and rights.
For more information or to register for the workshop, please visit our website at www.fhca.org or contact us at 800-446-3247.
We appreciate your time and support in ensuring that Orange residents have access to fair housing resources.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Best regards,
Martha Torres

(Oppose only the removal of the Canary Pine Trees. I'm in support of everything else.) MRHOA will only reimburse the City up to $5,000 in 2025 and another additional $5,000 in 2026 for replanting. This is not nearly enough to cover the replacement of the trees. Please request for continuance, which could allow its own arborist to possibly provide a less drastic solution than the City's arborist.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
(Oppose only the removal of the Canary Pine Trees. I'm in support of everything else.) Serrano is a very noisy street. Our house backs up to it and we have been looking into ways of mitigating the road noise. Removing the Canary Pine trees would cause even more road noise and make Serrano look barren. We understand the need to remove the eucalyptus trees. However, it seems the reason for removing the Canary Pines is because they weren't planted correctly 50 years ago.
I see that there is a suggestion to replace the trees "where suitable", and that the planting options are "limited".
I'm afraid that if these trees are removed, no suitable replacement will be planted. May I suggest simply trimming (instead of removing) these Canary Pine trees so they are kept in check? Thank you for your consideration,
Bill Melcher
