Good evening honorable mayor and council Thank you for the opportunity to submit a written
statement on this item. My name is Jose Garcia and I am a proud member of the Laborers union for
over 33 years. I want speak against the proposed warehouse moratorium for several reasons. First
this moratorium would cause a negative effect on construction workers through out San Bernardino
county and workers throughout California. Not only does this affect the workers but their families
too. This is the worst possible time to do this because families and workers are just recovering from
the past pandemic year. This will also cause a negative effect on our local and statewide economy
because workers will have to rely on unemployment benefits if available, many workers exhausted
there benefits in the last year due to the pandemic and the shortage of jobs in the construction
industry. It will also negatively affect local vendors and companies, builders and developers that
provide jobs in our community in this industry. Please consider the hard working men and women
and families that depend on this industry and all others the will feel the negative effect from a
where house moratorium. Thank you for your time and please vote against any type of where house
moratorium good night and thank you.
