“Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor. I'll be brief. I want to thank the members of the community on both sides who came out today to share your comments. It's very important for us to be able to hear from you, so thank you for that. I want to thank the workers for sharing your experiences, your concerns. You guys are the guys who build these projects. You are the experts. Those are very serious concerns for us here when it comes to exploitation of workers, workers being paid under the table. We know that those are all things that happen to circumvent paying workers what they're worth, paying them the…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I want to thank the residents and the city staff for their hard work in putting this council meeting together. I want to thank all the residents who took time out of their day to comment and show up. Today is September 15th. We are celebrating Fiestas Patrias. On September 16, 1810, Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang his church bell in Dolores. This was a call to arms. He gave a speech known as Grito de Dolores, urging people to rise up against Spanish rule. The result of that was an 11-year war that saw Mexico finally win its independence in 1821. Today is…”

“Thank you very much, Madam Mayor. And thank you to members of the public for tuning into today's City Council meeting. Today is August 4th, 2026. And as it is a tradition every year in the month of August, today we are celebrating Chicano Heritage Month. I have the honor of presenting this proclamation to two individuals who could not be with us here today. Those individuals are Danny Silva and Richie Miranda. They're not with us today for good reason. Danny Silva unfortunately had to pull out of a fight. He had a fight coming up August 22nd. Richie Miranda has a fight coming up this…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I'll be very brief with this item. I wanted to pull this item because August is Chicano Heritage Month and, um, We're very fortunate that Council Member Phan took the lead on this item that is before us here. What we are going to be doing today is honoring Frank and Irene Palomino, who were among the plaintiffs in the 1947 Landmark-Mendez et al. versus Westminster, which saw them successfully desegregate our schools here in Santa Ana and this school in particular. pertains to Garden Grove. The Palomino family has a long-standing connection to the surrounding…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I want to thank members of the public for their feedback, their comments, their emails, their public comments today. All of that is taken into account when we make decisions here at the dais. I want to be very clear that Santa Ana is a city where we need to make proactive changes to ensure that our pedestrians and our drivers are safe. I do believe that there are some present day challenges with utilizing technology to enforce traffic laws. Where I think that those challenges lie are in the fact that this is, for one, a pilot program. This is very much still a test,…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I just wanted to echo very similar sentiments in that when the meetings were being held for the community, there were very clear asks that the community did not want to budge on. Parking was one of those commitments and something that I believe is important to all of us here is having quality work. A skilled and trained workforce is something that I don't want to see us waver on. I think that by extending this into October, it gives our community the best opportunity to have a project that really is going to suit the needs of Santa Ana. I think that right now we are…”

“Wonderful. Thank you very much. And I just also want to echo a lot of the sentiments that my colleagues have shared here. There's a lot of exciting new additions to Santa Ana. We just recently celebrated Santa Anita Park seeing an $18 million gift. It's an entirely new community center, a new pool, really beautiful work that all of us are proud of here. Of course, we have the renaming of Palomino Park. It'll be named after Palomino. the palomino family i invite the community to come out and join us on thursday and then we have the last day of summer night lights coming up this friday at el…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I wanted to pull this item for discussion because when we adopted the annual military equipment back in May of 2022, I brought up some strong concerns that I felt we would see in the city. What we saw continue shortly thereafter when we adopted this equipment was a city that struggled to be in compliance with AB 481. It wasn't until we saw protesters shot due to the ICE raids in front of City Hall that led our city to eventually ensure that the city and our police department was in compliance with Assembly Bill 481. But what we did see that day was rather shocking.…”
