Hi my name is Vanessa Perez, I am the Director at Time for Change Foundation and I am also a
resident of this city. I am speaking on item #11. We know that our city has been flooded with
warehouses over the recent years. I agree with most that are opposed to continuous warehouse
developments that are bringing more pollution and less decent paying jobs to our residents, yet San
Manuel Band of Mission Indians has poured out millions of dollars to benefit our city, something I
doubt any of the other warehouse developers have done. The tribe has been the largest
philanthropist in our city when it comes to meeting community needs. San Manuel has been one of,
if not THE biggest local philanthropists our community has seen, are a great neighbor, and has
supported our work for almost 20 years.
