Use caution when opening attachmentsor links.

Dear Mayor Amezcua and Councilmembers,
My name is Matthew Bicakci and I am encouraging you to oppose the resolution under Agenda Item 18 at the City Council Meeting on February 18. According to data from CalEnviroScreen 4.0, the City of SantaAna faces a disproportionate amount of Orange County' s pollution burden. Proposed Rules 1111 and 1121 would make great stridestowards addressingpublic health in the city. By electrifying gasappliancessuch as furnacesand water heaters, the city can reduce residents' exposure to toxic NOx emissions that result in asthma, lung cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.

Additionally, there are a number of programs that make installation of electric appliancesmore affordable for working families. The state' s HEEHRA program offers families between $ 4, 000-$ 8, 000 for installation costs, and South Coast AQMD' s Go Zero program provides $ 1,500 in rebatesfor water heatersand heatpumps.

Electric appliances are not a burden to Santa Ana residents - they are a public health benefit that is more within reach than ever.

Please oppose the resolution under Item 18.

Thank you,
Matthew Bicakci

According to data from CalEnviroScreen 4. 0, the City of Santa Ana faces a disproportionate amount of Orange County' s pollution burden. Proposed Rules 1111 and 1121 would make great strides towards addressing public health in the city. By electrifying gas appliances such as furnaces and water heaters, the city can reduce residents' exposure to toxic NOx emissions that result in asthma, lung cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.

Additionally, there are a number of programs that make installation of electric appliances more affordable for working families. The state' s HEEHRA program offers families between $ 4, 000-$ 8, 000 for installation costs, and South Coast AQMD' s Go Zero program provides$ 1,500 in rebates for water heaters and heat pumps. Electric appliances are not a burden to Santa Ana residents- they are a public health benefit that is more within reach than ever.

Please oppose the resolution under Item 18.

Thank you,

Dear Mayor Amezcua and Councilmembers,
My name is Max Wang and I am encouraging you to oppose the resolution under Agenda Item 18 at the City Council Meeting on February 18 and support SCAQMD rules 1111 and 1121. Gas furnaces can pose a substantial risk to indoor air quality and emit significant greenhouse gas- causing emissions. This rule would limit the sale of new gas appliances, without affecting any currently installed furnaces or requiring retrofits to be made until existing appliances break down.

Electric appliances have also been shown to save costs long term due to the lower operating costs.

Dear Mayor Amezcua and Councilmembers,
We, Juan and Virginia Bernal, residents of Santa Ana for nearly 47 years, are deeply concerned that tomorrow the City Council is considering opposing Proposed Amended Rules (PAR) 1111 and 1121 by the Southern California Air Quality Management District ( SCAQMD).

I, Virginia, have read the February 18 meeting Agenda Item 18 , the Draft Motion in Opposition, and find that 6 of the 10 arguments cited are about the cost— arguments which ignore critical aspects of reality.

The cited $ 20 billion cost imposed on consumers do not deliver MINIMAL, but HUGE improvements:
o Question the math: Citing net cost? Because gas appliance replacement cost too— the rules apply when purchases of new appliances are needed. The cost cited has no mention of time— I assume for several years, perhaps a decade? o Asthma, other respiratory and cardiovascular ill- health costs, plus work loss caused by fossil use in the home are valued at over$ 3.7 billion annually. 1 o Residential appliances alone emit more NOx— and almost as much direct PM2. 5 pollution— into the SCAQMD region as oil and gas production, oil refining, and cement manufacturing combined. 1
1 o Residential and commercial buildings are responsible for roughly 25% of California' s greenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions. 2 Cost of damages caused by extreme weather due to climate change is becoming extreme too, likely unmeasurable.

More disagreement regarding costs:
o Costs of electrification must be faced by consumers if we are to slow down and mitigate climate change. The longer we wait, the costs only get greater. Leading scientists on climate tell us we have just a few years to reduce emissions if we are to avoid out of control climate change.
o For low- income families there are multiple sources of financial assistance.

SCAQMD lists several of these in their website, showing that this assistance can add up to $ 9,000.
o Re: construction costs, there will be savings in new construction when no infrastructure for gas is needed.

Increased demands on the power grid are NOT a reason to oppose the new PARS. o The new PARS will message electric utilities, manufacturers and retailers about the upcoming demand for heat- pump building and water heaters, helping increase production and sales, bring down costs.
o The power grid needs to grow regardless, due to increasing demand for clean electric energy for its efficiency and popular awareness that it will help avoid extreme weather events, including droughts that have led to the severe wildfires we' ve seen recently.

When you declare concern for homeowners, renters and businesses, and that our city remains committed to sustainable solutions to combat the climate change crisis, your declaration does not ring true or informed. It is a myopic view, sacrificing our long- term welfare for the very short- term $ gains.

Please do not oppose the SCAWMD rules 1111 and 1121.

Thank you,
Juan and Virginia Bernal

My name is Dominic Bendinelli and I urge you to please oppose the resolution on Agenda Item 18 of the upcoming regular city council meeting. Santa Ana is one of the most impacted cities in our County by air pollution and we deserve to have clean air! SCAQMD rules 1111 and 1112 would help us and the entire region lower our household emissions and create the conditions for electric appliances to reduce even further in price.

Today' s rebates and incentives from the federal level, the state, SCAQMD and other jurisdictions ( like our lucky neighboring cities who have OCPA marketplace access) continue bringing down the cost associated with electrification.

By electrifying gas appliances such as furnaces and water heaters, the city can reduce residents' exposure to toxic NOx emissions that result in asthma, lung cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. I moved to Orange County and got involved in fighting for a healthier environment because of these very emissions. My mother- in- law was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in April 2023 in a case attributed to air pollution like the toxic NOx emissions that come from in- home gas appliances. I moved here shortly after to care for her, but unfortunately she succumbed to her illness in August of that same year. My mission is to try and save as many people as I can from a similar fate and so now I am dedicated to cutting air pollution in as many forms as possible. We are lucky to live in a time when technology has provided us such efficient electric machines that make the switch incredibly easy. A heat pump water heater for example can heat the same amount of water as a gas water pump using three times less energy! The SCAQMD rules give us a five year gap until effect to ensure education, incentives and planning are well in place before implementation for those who wish to wait. Please do not oppose the SCAQMD rules, they will ensure cleaner air for our current and future residents.

Thank you,
Dominic Bendinelli

RE: OPPOSE Agenda Item # 18, a Resolution Opposing SCAQMD Rules 1111and 1121 Members of the Santa Ana City Council,
Tonight you will vote on a proposal to oppose South Coast Air Quality Management District SCAQMD) rules 1111and 1121. Theserules, regulating gasfurnacesand water heaters, would regulate one of the largest sourcesof noxious NOx emissions, would improve public health by reducing the negative effects of diseaseslike asthma, and clean the air that we all breathe.

SCAQMD is the air regulator for 17 million Californians who suffer from some of the worst air quality in the country. Within the South Coast region, Santa Ana stands out on CalEnviroScreen as a city that is disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution, including the kinds that would be regulated by the proposed rules.

Theserules have recently beenrevised to usea new framework, which, alongside previous claims in the proposedresolution, make most of the statementsin the resolution no longer accurateor potentially misleading. Below we respondto eachclauseof the resolution individually:

Clause3 claims “Rules 1111and 1121…[ will deliver] minimal measurableair quality improvements.” At Working Group Meeting #8, held February 13, 2025, AQMD staff presentedthis slideshow, which on Slide 6 shows that NOx emission reductions from spaceand water heating would be greaterthan reductions from refinery equipment, and between 6 to 7 times greaterthan reductions from electricity generating facilities.

Clause 4 claims “ these rules propose a ban on natural gas-powered furnaces.” This is no longer accurate, with Slide 11 of the Working Group Meeting presentationshowing that even after 2036, the new framework for the rules would allow gasfurnacesto be sold. A plaintext interpretation of that slide can be found here, under “Healthy Air Standards.” Clause 5 implies that the rules will “ significantly elevate costs.” However, the AQMD staff report at pdf page 38 found the rules cost- effective in every instance but one.

Additionally, with the new rules framework, the onus is no longer on the owner but on the appliance manufacturer.

Clause 6 says “Rules 1111 and 1121 specifically impact individual homeowners, apartment complexes, and businesses.” This is no longer the case, asSlide 12 of the Working Group Meeting presentationshows that solely appliance manufacturersare subject to the proposedrules.

Clauses 7 and 8 state that new electric appliances would be “costly” or “financially burdensome,” however there are numerous rebates available for consumers, including the pilot Go Zero Program by AQMD ( of which 75% of rebate funding will go to overburdenedcommunities asshown on pdf page7), HEEHRA rebatesfunded by the Inflation Reduction Act, Comfortably CA, and Golden StateRebates.

Clause7 also mentions electrical panel upgrades, however the AQMD staff report at pdf page 34 finds that at most 9% of homes would need a new electrical panel.

Clause 9 states that these rules will “ impose a significant increase in electricity demand on California’s power grid.” This concern may be true, which is why it is important to easeaccessto more renewable energy sources, generation, and storage, such asmaking it easierto install, solar panels, wind turbines, and battery energy storagesystems. More renewable and distributed energy resourceswill easegrid demandand enableratepayers to own their own power and realize lower rates.

Finally, Clause 10 demands “ solutions be both practical and equitable, balancing environmental benefits with the economic realities faced by residentsand businesses.” Theseproposedrules have beenamendedto addressaffordability concernsand the agency proposing them hasbegun a pilot rebateprogram alongside numerousother rebate programs. Theseproposedrules would reduceemissionsby more than could be reduced by regulating every refinery in the South Coast Region. And these proposed rules would reduce health impacts by preventing:
4,000 premature deaths
16,000 new asthmacases
4,000 emergency room visits
These rules are practical, will benefit overburdened communities, and represent some of the largest environmental benefits proposedby AQMD.

Given theseflaws in the proposedresolution, Climate Action Campaign respectfully requests you vote no on Item 18.

Sincerely,
David Martinez

DearMayorAmezcuaand Councilmembers,
Mynameis GregI havemadeSantaAnamyhomefor over10 years, alongwithmywifewhowasborn and raisedhere, and her parentswhohave beenproudSantanerosfor over 50 years. All of ushave directlyexperiencedthe effectsof climatechange, environmentalinjustice, andtoxicpollutionin our communities--fromthe chronicleadpoisoningof the soil to the factthatonly4% of the landin thiscity is considered green space. Reliance on fossil fuels has led to an ecocidal effect on the health of ourselves, our city, and our planet. Fortunately, thereare solutionsin cleanenergyand sustainable practices, withstateand governmentprovidingmuch-neededrebatesandincentivesfor workingclass peoplelike meto affordelectricvehiclesandchargers, heatpumps, inductionstoves, andotherhome weatherizationimprovements.

That's why I'm demandingthat you opposethe resolutionunderAgendaItem18 at the City Council Meetingon February18. Accordingto data fromCalEnviroScreen4.0, the City of SantaAnafacesa disproportionateamountof OrangeCounty’s pollutionburden. ProposedRules1111and1121would makegreatstridestowardsaddressingpublichealthin the city. By electrifyinggasappliancessuchas furnacesandwaterheaters, thecity canreduceresidents’ exposureto toxicNOxemissionsthatresult in asthma, lungcancer, andcardiovasculardiseases.

Additionally, there are a number of programs that make installation of electric appliances more affordablefor workingfamilies. The state’s HEEHRAprogramoffersfamiliesbetween $4,000-$8,000 for installationcosts, and SouthCoastAQMD’s Go Zeroprogramprovides $1,500in rebatesfor water heatersandheatpumps. Electricappliancesarenota burdento SantaAnaresidents - theyarea public healthbenefitthat is morewithinreachthanever.

Pleaseopposethe resolutionunderItem18.

Thankyou,
Greg
