Lopez, Maria [COB] Bd: 4/28, 20, Item S49B Various Correspondence Lopez, Maria [COB] Bd: 4/28, 20, Item S49B From: Cathy <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 10:04 PM To: Cathy Udovch Subject: RE Agenda Item S49B Dear Orange County Board of Supervisors, My name is Cathy Udovch from Laguna Hills, but I am also writing on behalf of my sister Carynn Udovch, in a Westminster Hospital right now recovering from Pneumonia (thankfully), my mother Dr. Sandr Udovch, PhD currently residing in a Senior Assisted Living facility in Buena Park, and father Joseph Udovch, retired Navy and airline pilot, currently residing in a Senior Community in the San Juan Capistrano area. This past weekend, our beach cities were flooded by thousands of beachgoers who ignored social distancing and public health measures, exposing millions of people in our county to a greater risk of contracting COVID-19 and compromising local and state efforts to combat the pandemic. I’m writing to you as a concerned voter to ask you to take immediate and effective measures to protect our communities from such irresponsible behavior and keep us all safe during the coronavirus crisis. And since LA's beaches are closed, it is a safe bet that many of these people are from outside of Orange County, which introduces even more risk, since they are having a higher level of cases in other counties. While the outbreak of the pandemic is not a reflection of our community, what we do about it is. Therefore, I urge you to take the following immediate actions: - Close all public beaches, parks, and other recreational areas. Waiting until the inevitable spike in cases in two weeks will be too late, community transmission will run amok if you sit on your hands. - Implement an aggressive testing policy. This is the best way to find and isolate active cases and do thorough contact tracing to keep the rest of the county safe. - Effectively enforce the State ban on gatherings, including stopping the growing wave of organized anti-quarantine gatherings. - Set up a committee to develop a reopening plan, based on science-based, pre-set criteria and benchmarks. This committee should include scientists, doctors, public health officials, and members of the community, including advocates for the houseless, community organizations, religious organizations, and other groups. - Instruct everyone in the County to wear facemasks when they are in public for essential activities. The protection of our families and a deliberate return to normal life are non-partisan issues. We all want to keep our families safe and go back to our jobs as quickly as possible. But if we do not implement a careful, science-based policy, we will only make the problem worse and exacerbate the economic burden caused by this pandemic on County residents. I look forward to your response. 1 Thank you, - - - Cathy Udovch Senior Features Programmer Newport Beach Film Festival August 6th - 13th, 2020 (new dates) 2000 Quail Street Newport Beach, CA 92660 (562)708-7555 mobile [email protected] http://www.newportbeachfilmfest.com http://www.orangecountyfilmsociety.com 2 Lopez, Maria [COB] From: Amy Kadell <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 9:39 PM To: Steel, Michelle; Do, Andrew; [email protected]; Wagner, Donald; Chaffee, Doug; Kim, Frank (HOA); [email protected] Subject: Agenda Item S49V Dear Orange County Board of Supervisors, I’m Amy Kadell from Laguna Hills.

Dear Orange County Supervisors ‐ I beg you to please believe science. This is not the flu. Flu season lasts from Oct. ‐May, this year it has killed approx. 20K in the US in a free & open society. Covid19 has killed 55K in about 3 months in a closed society. We have now lost as many people as we have in 16 years of war! Schools are closed, graduations & proms and cancelled and yet you thought it was a good idea to open our beaches? Other surrounding counties did not open ‐ what is wrong with you. Are you going to throw away all the hard work and 6 weeks of shelter in place away by opening too soon? We WILL resurge and elongate this thing and it WILL result in more death and MORE damage to our small business community. Our country was BUILT on sacrifice! I can't imagine what you all were thinking opening the beaches this past weekend ‐ except you don't believe science. You think this is the flu even though CDC, actual medical experts (not fake pundits) and the entire world & actual death tolls are telling us otherwise. I implore our Governor to shut down our beaches if you can't act with sense and do so.

  • ICYMI: Young Kim Follows Trump Administration's Lead on Family
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 11th, 2018 CONTACT: Nic Jordan, [email protected] ICYMI: Young Kim Follows Trump Administration’s Lead on Family Separations Fullerton, Calif. – Today, Bloomberg published a story reporting the changing demographics of the 39th Congressional district and how Orange County is no longer a Republican stronghold. In addition, the story highlights Republican Young Kim’s refusal to differentiate herself from President Trump and her own reluctance to condemn the separation of children and their families at the border. Kim is quoted expressing personal doubts about the inhumane treatment and separation, saying she wonders, “what’s the real story behind it?” Gil Cisneros has been outspoken in his opposition to separation of families, having protested at a border detention facility in Tornillo, Texas and visiting a center in the 39th District that currently houses children who were separated. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cisneros took his family to see a border detention facility in Texas last month. His wife said she later heard their twin four-year-old boys chanting “A family, united, cannot be divided” in their back seat. Kim, he noted, didn’t take a stand against the administration’s policy of separating illegal immigrant children from their families until the day after Trump himself reversed his position. While separating illegal immigrant children from their parents troubled her, [Kim] said, she chose not to make a political issue out of it…. “I don’t want to see a crying child, but what’s the real story behind it?” FULL STORY Battle for House Control Runs Through California's Orange County Bloomberg By Christopher Palmeri A fierce battle over a handful of congressional seats in the Southern California bastion of Republicanism could determine both the GOP’s future in the state and the outcome of the national battle for control of the U.S.

  • December 2018 Newsletter
    December 2018 Newsletter Presidents Address December 2018: Many of you have asked me what I thought went so wrong with this last mid-term election. So many factors were involved, there are almost too many to count. More troubling to me than the voter fraud, that most assuredly took place, are the laws the California State legislature has burden us with in regarding voting and the registration of voters. Early voting, turning ballots in after election day, registration on the day of voting, vote harvesting, etc… all made legal by our State Legislature to their benefit to retain the quest for power. All of those different avenues for voting require a different method of counting and verifying the ballot. Those new laws coupled with some miscalculation by our candidates, mismanaged campaigns, being out spent 6 to one in some cases, lack of enthusiasm by some in our own party, failing to rally volunteers that were up against thousands of PAID campaign workers….it was just over whelming. We can come back from this, we have in the past. We do need new ideas and new leadership and we need to work smarter to get our message out. I have enjoyed being your President for the last 5 years and I am grateful for the opportunity to have done so. I am also grateful for your repeated confidence in me, and support in doing what we do. You are all unique, smart, determined, and talented ladies and I am proud to be associated with you. I’ve watched many of you blossom into activists who have done things you thought you never could.
