Subject: Fountain Valley out of OPA?
Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links.
Fountain Valley just announced at their city council meeting tonight that they are going to inform the Orange County Power Authority that they will put off joining their organization for an additional 6 months. The information came from council member Grandis, and apparently did not need a vote. His reason was due to information coming out about the OCPA, (high rates, dirty power, etc.), and not enough time to alert the public about being automatically enrolled, and the need for the council to investigate the OCPA further. He also stated that Fountain Valley has other important topics to consider in the following months, and this will not be able to get the attention it deserves. I wonder if the OCPA will continue to keep Director Grandis on the board if the city of Fountain Valley is now not fully committed to joining? Grandis is a voting member, yet has no residents or businesses enrolled.

Dear Ms. Hall, Ms. Carvalho, and Mr. Nuñez,
I am writing to formally rectify a disruption in the public record that occurred during the City Council meeting on the evening of February 3, 2026.
During my public testimony (approximately 3:38:12 in the record), I was prepared to formally submit my updated written complaint and the supporting forensic analysis regarding the misuse of Ward 3 discretionary funds. However, due to the improper and unprovoked interjection by Councilmember Jessie Lopez, who attempted to interrupt my remarks with a "clarification" in violation of the City's own rules of order, the procedural flow of my presentation was disrupted.
As a result, the physical submission of my February 3rd formal letter was not completed at the dais.
Formal Submission for the Record Attached to this email, please find the following documents which are to be immediately incorporated into the official record of the February 3, 2026, meeting as part of my public testimony:
• Updated Formal Complaint (Feb 3, 2026): Detailing the $3,000 expenditure of Santa Ana funds for an Anaheim event and the demand for personal reimbursement. • The Helvig Report (Jan 14, 2026): The forensic audit confirming Councilmember Lopez as an outlier in out-of-city spending.
Public Review and Feb 18th Agenda Request
• Furthermore, I request that these documents be posted for public review in the "Public Communications" section of the agenda packet for the upcoming City Council meeting on Tuesday, February 18, 2026.
The public's right to transparent government is paramount. Given the evidence of a $3,000 expenditure to a non-profit outside our jurisdiction, during an active political campaign by the sponsoring official—I am formally petitioning the City Council to agendize a discussion on the following for the February 18th session:
• Formal review of the Special Event Sponsorship Policy to determine if current "guardrails" are sufficient to prevent the "gifting" of Santa Ana taxpayer dollars to out-of- city entities.
• Establishment of a bright-line prohibition on out-of-city expenditures exceeding $0.00 without an explicit, documented, and pre-approved "direct benefit" finding by the City Attorney.
• Council discussion regarding a resolution for Mandatory Personal Reimbursement of the $3,000 in question.
I intend to appear at the February 18th meeting to further petition this Council.
The residents of Santa Ana deserve to know why their representatives feel empowered to treat the City General Fund as a personal political ATM for events in neighboring cities.
Please confirm receipt of this email and verify that the attached documents have been added to the public record and the upcoming agenda packet.
Respectfully,
Mark Spratt Ward 3 Resident & Homeowner West Floral Park, Santa Ana +1-562-506-6703 | [email protected]

Subject: City Council Special Event Sponsorship Policy
On October 7th I spoke at the City Council meeting regarding the distribution of discretionary funds approved by City Councilmembers. At that time, I committed to request related information from the City and provide Council an analysis of the data received and the policy itself. The results of this analysis, addressing distributions from FY2021 thru FY2025, were separated by councilmember and Mayor and sent to each individual on November gth. You have had two months to provide corrections and input to my conclusions and some of you did. I made the corrections you requested.
For those who did not respond, I came to the conclusion you read my statement that said, "No response required if you agree with the information."
I am now providing a final version of how those funds were distributed by all on the Council along with my assessment of whether the distributions were made in accordance with the City Council Special Event Sponsorship Policy, adopted and revised on February 5, 2019.
The purpose of this policy is "To establish a City Council Special Event Sponsorship Policy and guidelines for disbursement of discretionary funds approved by City Councilmembers to sponsor city programs, services, and special events produced by qualified nonprofit organizations and/or City recognized neighborhood associations."
Attached you will find how $274,517 of discretionary funds were distributed from FY2021 thru FY2025. Out of all these disbursements, the outlier to the policy was the $3000 provided to the Latino Muslim Unity - EID Fair by Councilmember Lopez. In her closing remarks on October 7t, she defended her actions on the the basis of promoting diversity, implying that I don't. Nothing could be further from the truth. What I don't support is using discretionary funds in a way that falls outside approved policy.
2026-01-14 Letter to City Council-Special Event Sponsorship Policy Dale Helvig
Resident, Santa Ana CA 92706
There is nothing wrong with supporting events in other cities. That is done regularly and should continue, but the policy is clear in stating the "distribution of discretionary funds" is limited to "city programs, services, and special events". The Latino Muslim Unity - EID Fair, an event held outside of Santa Ana, did not qualify for the disbursement. Councilmember Lopez should be directed to refund the $3000 of Santa Ana taxpayer money that was donated outside of policy guidelines.
Respectfully,

SUBJECT: UPDATED FORMAL COMPLAINT - Systemic Misuse of Public Funds, Accounting Discrepancies, and Demand for Personal Financial Restitution (Councilmember Jessie Lopez)
Dear Mayor Amezcua, City Attorney Carvalho, and Members of the Council, I am writing to update my formal complaint of October 7, 2025. Following the comprehensive analysis provided to this Council by resident Dale Helvig on January 14, 2026 (attached), it is now clear that the misuse of Ward 3 discretionary funds by Councilmember Jessie Lopez is not an isolated "technicality," but a systemic pattern of violating City Policy and potentially State Law.
I. Confirmation of the Jurisdictional Violation
• The City's official accounting confirms that $3,000 of Santa Ana sales tax revenue was used by Councilmember Jessie
Lopez to sponsor an event held in Anaheim (the Latino
Muslim Unity event).
• This expenditure represents a material breach of the City's Special Event Sponsorship Policy, which explicitly mandates that funds be used for events within the City of Santa Ana or those providing a direct, measurable benefit to our
residents.
• Exporting $3,000 to a neighboring jurisdiction while the Councilmember is actively campaigning for State Assembly in that same city is a flagrant violation of the policy's prohibition on "politically oriented" sponsorships.
II. Demand for Personal Financial Accountability
• Repayment of these funds from a remaining office budget is unacceptable; that is merely moving taxpayer money
between accounts.
• I demand that Councilmember Lopez be ordered to
personally reimburse the City of Santa Ana the full
$3,000 from her own personal funds. Public trust cannot be restored by a budget transfer; it requires personal financial accountability.
III. Failure of Administrative Oversight
• This $3,000 check did not issue itself. It moved through Initiation, Administrative Approval, and Finance.
• I submit that this authorization suggests a "rubber-stamp" culture on the 8th floor where political favor-trading overrides fiduciary duty.
• We demand a full audit of the approval trail to identify which staff members allowed this non-compliant expenditure to pass review.
Santa Ana is teetering on a fiscal cliff.
Our residents are choosing between groceries and rent.
We cannot, and will not, subsidize Anaheim festivals or Sacramento political ambitions.
Respectfully,
Mark Spratt

My OC Animal Care research published last week was selected for a showcase whose purpose is to make research accessible to the general public!
This will create more interest in this project, as well as my earlier ones.
It's easy for anyone to read. No science background required! How long do dogs stay in a shelter? We can
measure this accurately and link it to shelter

Dear City Council, Mayor, and City Manager,
I published an open letter to you in the Voice of OC. Please read it. Community members will create a permanent record of how each city council member votes on this issue, we hope you will choose the right side of this issue. A vote to renew the contract without cleaning house is a vote for mismanagement, incompetence, and cruelty.

If you are in favor of good governance and a good shelter you must make two demands: First, get rid of toxic managers. Second, transparently implement the Strategic Plan.

Use caution when opening attachments or links.
To the Honorable Members of the Planning Commission and City Council, As a long-term Santa Ana property owner and stakeholder, I am writing to formally oppose the approval of the proposed modifications to One Broadway Plaza (OBP) until a comprehensive and transparent review is conducted.
For 22 years, the site at 1100 N. Broadway has sat stagnant. Today, the City is considering a 100% operational conversion from a commercial office tower to 602 high-density residential units. A change of this magnitude requires more than an administrative "Addendum", it requires the highest level of scrutiny to protect our neighborhoods, our schools, and our infrastructure.
1. The Requirement for a Supplemental EIR
The 2004 EIR is obsolete. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, a Supplemental EIR is legally required because this residential shift creates "new significant environmental effects" never contemplated two decades ago:
• Schools & Parks: Unlike office space, 602 apartments will place an immediate, permanent demand on SAUSD enrollment and our local parkland capacity (French Park). • Updated Standards: The 2004 data fails to address current Vehicle Miles Traveled (VT) standards and 2026 air quality baselines.
• Sensitive Receptors: Residential use introduces "sensitive receptors" to the site 24/7, requiring entirely new noise and health impact analyses.
2. Financial Due Diligence & Public Protection
To ensure that Santa Ana does not endure another 20 years of blight, the City must perform a thorough audit of the project's fiscal history. I urge the Commission and Council to:
• Review historical records, including former Planning Manager Vince Fregoso's logs, to verify that construction capital is secured specifically for this site.
• Require a robust performance bond as a condition of approval to guarantee project completion.
3. Demand for Transparency
I am not asking to block progress; instead I demand that the City proceed with its "eyes wide open." Using a 22-year-old EIR to bypass public review deprives Santa Ana residents of their right to understand the true impacts of this project.
I request a formal written response for the administrative record regarding:
1. The legal justification for using an Addendum for a total land-use conversion.
2. The specific analysis of impacts on SAUSD enrollment.
3. The application of SB 743 (VT) to this new residential entitlement.
Thank you for your commitment to a transparent and legally sound planning process.
Respectfully,
Jeff Dickman French Park Property Owner

Thanks for reaching out to me. I'm pleased to see that you are aware of the disturbing behavior and actions of Gracey Van Der Mark.
You must be aware of my direct responsibility in exposing her bigoted attacks on community members and why, we at OVSD, removed her from our finance committee. I have years worth of evidence of her hateful connections and assailing others.
We must not stay quiet in the face of racism and hate.
