Subject: Resolution in Solidarity with Palestiniansin Support of a Ceasefire Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I trust this letter finds you well. It is with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency that I implore you to lend your voices to the call for justice and humanity by passing the Resolution in Solidarity with Palestinian People in Support of a Ceasefire.
We have witnessed the injustices of the occupation of Palestine, where Israeli occupation forces have massacred 20, 000 Palestinians since October 7, including a heartbreaking number of 8,000 children and displaced 1.7 million Gazans. The world is watching, and Santa Ana, a beacon of diversity and inclusivity, has a unique opportunity to stand on the right side of history.
The destruction of vital infrastructure of Gaza are haunting reminders that Gaza is now considered a graveyard and is in urgent need of humanitarian intervention from local members of Congress.
This resolution calls for Santa Ana to be a leader in human rights for all people. In our community, Arabs and Muslims contribute immensely to the rich tapestry of Santa Ana' s cultural diversity. Their voices, experiences, and heritage are integral parts of the very fabric that makes Santa Ana unique.
By passing a resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire, Santa Ana has the opportunity to demonstrate leadership, compassion, and a commitment to protecting families from the backlash of hate crimes.
Santa Ana needs solidarity, and our community can be a source of support for people experiencing the rise of hate crimes due to the dehumanization of Palestinians in the media and within our governments.
Let Santa Ana be a city that stands united against injustice and bigotry and sends a clear message that we value the lives of all individuals, regardless of their background or nationality.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and the crucial work you do for our community. We look forward to your City Council' s passing of this humanitarian resolution.
Sincerely,
F 1F _ ITI

Pleaseconsider the following letter and documents as an impassionedplea by the neighbors surrounding the Flower Street alley to maintain its current status.
Darin Hallstrom
Santa Ana, CA
Dear City Council,
Re: Flower St. Alley
Thepropertyownersdirectlyadjacentto the alleyexpressunanimoussupportfor maintaining its currentstatusandfunctionality. Thebroadercommunityhasoverwhelminglysignaleda desire to preserve the alley's existing purpose, as evidenced by the widespread support garnered through the community petition.
Concernshavebeenraisedregardingwhat appearsto be nefariousintent to disruptthe public process. Our ward representative, Jessie Lopez, has indicated that mnandatorysignage, crucial for transparentcommunicationaboutthe vacationapplication, wasreportedlyremovedbythe petitioners. This action, if proven, could be interpreted as an attempt to impede the community' s awarenessand engagement in the decision -making process. Suchactions undermine the principles of an open and fair civic process, raising questions about the transparency and ethical conduct uftheapplicantinthis process. Thesefactors contributeto a climateoffrustrationandwearinessamongcommunitymemberswho are genuinelyinvestedin preservingtheexisting publicaccess use of the alleyandensuringafairand transparentdecision -makingprocess. Notably, the petitioners themselveshaveacknowledgedthat the alley is not notedontheirtitle andhas never beenpartof their property, emphasizingthat the city ownsthe alley.(see Moreover, the petitioners were explicitlyinformed that without the supportof adjacentneighbors, PublicWorks would not endorsemovingthe petition forward. In response, the petitionersmade false statementsof supportto PublicWorks, claimingbackingfrom the four adjacentproperties. (see attached# 2 emaildatedl1/ 30/22 9: 22arnandattached #3 dated 11/ 15/22 2: O9pnoand11/ 29/22lD: O3anlandattached #4email dated 1I/ 30/ 2211: 05anm\ Again, it' s crucial tohighlightthat thepetitionerswerefullyaware, upon submnitbngapplicationsand paying fees, that the processmightnot pass, renderingtheirinvestmentnon- refundable.
Additionally, it is imperative to addressthe assertion that there is a lingering, obvious, and no longer necessaryrailroad right of way. This claim appearsto be incorrectly interpreted through the reading of the ruling. Nowhere in the ruling does it specifically addressthe petitioner' s property or the alley in question. Therefore, relying on a purported railroad right of way as a basisfor closing the alley seems misplaced and not substantiated by the legalcontext of the ruling. This further emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and accurate examination of the factssurroundingthe petition andreinforcesour positionin advocatingfor the continuedpublic use of the alley. (see attached for copy of ruling)
Once again, we would like to expressour caution regarding the proposed vacation of the public's use of the alley. It is crucial to consider that with the closure, the petitioners may open themselves up to potential litigation from the adjoining neighbor to the south on Flower Street.
California law mandates a centerline/ shared equity on public land division.
Closingthe alley would create an unfair obstructed entry/ egressfor those remaining on the unaffectedside, leadingto bottleneckissuesandcompoundingratherthansolvingproblems.
Additionally, closing the alley doesn't addressconcerns about transient populations, asthis complex issue cannot be resolved by simply closing a 50' parcel of land.
Tofurther underscoreour stance, it's essentialto addressa secondaryeffort bythe petitioners to close the alley. It appears that this secondary effort is driven not only by concerns about transientactivity but alsoby a broaderambitionto acquireadditionalrealestatethroughany available means.
This secondary motivation raisesquestions about the true intent behind the petition. If the primary concern were indeed the safety and well- being of the community, the focus should center on addressing the specific issues at hand rather than seeking additional real estate through the closure of a vital public accesspoint.
Asengagedmembersof the community, we believeit iscrucialfor the CityCouncilto scrutinize the petitioners' motives thoroughly and ensure that any decision made is in the best interest of the community as a whole. We assert that the closure of the alley, driven by a dual rationale, would not only fail to addressthe stated concerns effectively but could potentially result in adverse consequences for the neighborhood.

Hi there I will not be able to attendtoday' s meeting at 5:45pm to give our sayregarding this issue. We personally don't have anything against Colin and his wife they seemlike nice people . That being said as our God given opinion we personally like to havethe alley open and accessto everyonewho walks by and would like being able to use it. That way asworked sincethis neighborhood was built and it would be nice to keep it that way

It is also my understanding (again, I can be mistaken), if one of the five home owners bordering the Alley is againstthe closure of the Alley, this proposal is a moot issue. However, if this is not true, I' m concerned about many things closing this property off to through traffic may bring:
What the closure of the property will look like
Who will be responsible for the closure
Who will pay for the closure
How will the current homeowners of property be able to haveaccessto their driveways Who, will be responsible for any cleanup from traffic confusion and accidents this will cause Is this the beginning of closing off our public streets? Pleaseremember Floral Park is in the City of Santa Ana, in the County of Orange, in the State of California How will this closure affect the property taxes of the current homes that are on the Alley How will this affect Floral Park' s status as an Historic Neighborhood, this will create a major change in the neighborhood, and I believe that can and will remove us from the list.
Thank you for your time, I do hope you understand our concern about leaving our public streetsexactly that, public streets.
Sincerely,
Toni Kimball

Reference: FLORAL PARK: 2383 N. Flower Street - Notice of Alley Throughway Dear Ms. Hall:
Fm writing to you in behalfof theabovereferencedAlley Throughway. I find this particularissueextremely upsetting, and do not truly understandall the components, however, I do believe it must beleft asis, since it has been this way for approximately 100 years.
This little Alley is well kept and is mainly usedfor the five housesthat border it astheir main and only driveway access. Actually, when you walk through the Alley, you realize it is nothing but a driveway. The property is clean and clear of any obstructions.
Many neighbors, myself included, useit asa walk thru. I' m very sorry if this upsetsthe family who lives at 2383 North Flower, however, they did know they were purchasing alley accesswhen they purchasedthe property.
I understand, perhaps through a misinformation, that they are concerned for traffic on that portion of their driveway, however, in thetimeI' ve lived in theneighborhoodthathasneverbeenanissue. In reality, theonly carsI seeusing this Alley is from the homeowners, whose garagesareon the alleyway. Most of the tirne its foot traffic, and very respectful foot traffic at that.
If the property owners at 2383 N. Flower feel concernedfor their safety, perhapsthey can createa fence around their property line, and leavethe Alley for those must haveaccessto their homes and garages. alley,lir

RE: AlleyVacationing
I wouldlike to addmyvoiceto thatof the Cityof SantaAnathatthe alleybetween FlowerandHeliotropeshouldbe vacated.
Thealleypresentsa serioussafetyhazardfor all the residentswhoareadjacentto it andparticularlyto the ownersof 2383NorthFlower. Theyhavehada seriesof intruder issues, includinga personwalkingintotheirhomein the middleof thedayandsomeone violentlytryingto get in the backdoorwhileCarolinewashomealone.
ThisFlowerStreetpartof the alleyservesno serviceandexposesall the residentsnear it to an unsafecondition.
