ADDITIONS /DELETIONS TO THE AGENDAS: PUBLIC COMMENTS (all agenda items, except public hearing): James Robert Reade, resident, discussed an incident that occurred when he was 21 years old and pulled over in another city because his motorcycle matched that of a robbery suspect. The lesson learned, he emphasized, was that citizens must obey orders from a police officer and failure to do so could lead to a serious situation, such as the one Manuel Diaz faced when he failed to obey an officer's directive. Michael Baker, Boys and Girls Club, informed the community a motorcycle club had donated and distributed 300 backpacks filled with school supplies to the kids at the Boys and Girls Club. In addition, outreach efforts to various neighborhoods had begun with 100 kids from Anna Drive now participating in the outreach program as well as 44 from Haster Street. He recognized Disney, the Ducks and Angels Baseball for stepping up and donating a significant amount of funds to the Boys and Girls Club in support of community youth programs. Yesenia Rojas, resident of Anna Drive stated several efforts were underway for the youth of Anna Drive and other impoverished neighborhoods with the goal of keeping kids away from gang involvement and thanked the Boys and Girls Club for their assistance as well. William Fitzgerald, Anaheim Home, voiced his opposition to the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, stating funds earmarked for that project would be better used to prevent future gang participation of Anaheim's youth. Amanda Hudson, Animal Defenders International, thanked Council Member Galloway for supporting a ban on exotic circus animals and looked forward to providing facts and evidence of the cruelty these animals experienced to council. Lisa Gin, Sister City Association, provided an update on the Association's activities. A recent visit to Vito ria - Gasteiz, Spain re- established and rejuvenated that relationship, ten exchange Council Meeting Minutes of August 28, 2012 Page 3 of 10 students were recently welcomed from Mito, Japan enjoying a week of fun - filled activities and the Association was now preparing for a visit from Mito officials in the fall. She noted fund- raising was a key component of the Sister City Association and the September 12 wine tasting event to be held at the Whitehouse Restaurant offered the community an opportunity to support the Sister City Association and to find out the more about the organization and its goals. Marissa O'Hanna thanked Council Member Galloway for her support on banning circuses with exotic animals stating factual information including affidavits of former circus workers and undercover video footage was available to substantiate the claims made by animal rights activists. ET Snell, Clown Community Activist, discoursed on the culture of the Anaheim Police Department and the corporate perspective of the Disney organization. Duane Roberts, resident, thanked the City Clerk for her prompt response to his public records request, adding that he had not yet received a reply from the Police Chief. John Dunton, Coalition for Peaceful Community, discussed the need to provide recreational activities and programs to the poorest areas of the city, an effort his coalition was committed to as a method of keeping kids off the street and out of trouble. Ron Bengochea, resident, was opposed to the award of bid for construction of the ARTIC project feeling those funds could be better used to meet the needs of the community. Alicia Koberstein voiced her support for a ban on circuses that used exotic animals, an unacceptable exploitation of animals for the entertainment of people unaware of the cruelty and inhumane treatment they endured. Benjamin Avila informed the city about Eco Vitali World, a manufacturer of paint and coatings that cleaned air of bacteria, viruses and all known pollutions, suggesting a meeting be scheduled to discuss this technology which reduced maintenance and improved air quality. Mayor Tait referred Mr. Avila to appropriate staff. Brenda Cavillos supported a ban on circus animals in the city, remarking as responsible citizens, it was important to care for all living creating. Lisa Manili remarked she had dedicated most of her free time to banning exotic animal acts since 2009 and had participated in various forums with experts dedicated to promoting animal welfare efforts. She talked of the progress in this area, reporting the Santa Ana Zoo stopped their elephant rides as free contact was no longer deemed a safe way to interact with a wild elephant and the Orange County Fair, after 25 years, chose to stop elephant rides as well. Juliette West explained that at the age of 14 she started a documentary called "How I Became an Elephant," which took place in Thailand and shed light on abusive treatment of elephants working in the tourism industry. She explained the documentary was being screened in film festivals across the nation and had won awards for its cause. In support of a ban on circus animals, Ms. West established a nonprofit organization called "Juliette Speaks" to spread awareness of elephant abuse and urged the city to take a stand and make the decision to ban exotic animal acts. Crystal Gray, resident, explained how she and her family had been directly impacted by gangs in her downtown neighborhood, stating she would rather see funds used in support of youth Council Meeting Minutes of August 28, 2012 Page 4 of 10 programs giving options other than gang membership to kids rather than litigation settlements for families of gang members. William McHenry, resident, strongly supported a ban on exotic animal acts in the city, adding that Ringling Bros. and other circus organizations would make every effort to stop the ban, and he hoped the city council would not be swayed. Barbara Kordiak, resident, supported a ban on exotic animals and the need for change within the police department to reflect transparency, accountability and a police force that people could trust. Richard Heim, Clark Construction, remarked as the low bidder for the ARTIC project, his company was looking forward to partnering with the city in this project, to reach out to the community and ensure local people were involved. He added that 75 percent of the proposed funding to be subcontracted was designated for local businesses as detailed in the contract specifications. He added that Clark Construction had just completed CARS LAND for Disney and looked forward to another successful project in the city. Katherine Smith, La Colonia resident, encouraged council to seriously consider annexing the La Colonia neighborhood to Anaheim and to allow those residents the benefits that all Anaheim residents enjoyed. Jose Vargas, ESCRI, remarked this organization had been working with the East Street community for the last three years with the goal of connecting city services and resources to its residents to bring about healthy and vibrant communities. He thanked the city and staff for helping to bring long -term changes to these neighborhoods remarking ESCRI was now focused on offering quality community development activities and diversified services to Anna Drive. Brian Chuchua, resident, referencing his comments to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, stated they were delinquent with their federal withholding tax requirement, had lost interest in small businesses, and were involved in politics when they should be non- political and representative of all businesses. Joanne Sosa, Take Back Anaheim, remarked her organization concurred with Dr. Moreno's statement about the need for long - lasting sustainable solutions for Anaheim's working poor. She appreciated the various organizations and the public offering help and support to the neediest neighborhoods, believing it was a positive result from recent events. Melanie Shaw, supporting a ban on exotic animal acts, thanked Council Member Galloway for requesting this governing body to consider legislation to that effect. Dan Clavelle, resident, supported Jerry Adams and Hoagie Holguin, candidates for a local school board, and the need to enact change for better school districts and city government. At 6:18 P.M., with no other public comments offered, the City Council was briefly recessed to consider the Anaheim Public Financing Authority agenda and reconvened again at 6:19 P.M.

END OF CONSENT CALENDAR D159 3. Receive and file status report on the City's graffiti removal contract. Sheri Vander Dussen, Planning Director updated council on Superior Property Services contract once they assumed responsibility for citywide graffiti removal services on July 9 They began with a citywide blitz on the first three Saturdays of their contract, deploying 25 trucks into the community each day, addressing thousands of backlogged work orders and removing any other visible graffiti while crews were in an area. At no cost to the city, the company continued to provide additional labor both during the week and on weekends to eliminate remaining outstanding work orders and to meet service standards for new requests; she reported that they estimated all backlogged work would be completed by the end of September. During its first month, she remarked, Superior responded to more than 5,000 work orders and removed almost 236,000 square feet of graffiti with nearly all of the work orders completed within 24 hours. Any delays were attributed to problems with obtaining access to vandalized property. She indicated the city's contract required Superior to proactively remove graffiti in 12 target neighborhoods and at five city parks. Based on service requests, Superior started targeting several additional streets for proactive removal and had also been running two or three pressure washers in various neighborhoods to clear blocks of older graffiti that had never been reported. More than 200 customers reported graffiti via Anaheim Anytime, and had completed surveys, which indicated customers were satisfied with the performance of the new contractor. Any complaints that had risen were handled immediately, professionally and personally by the owners with positive results. Ms. Vander Dussen stated Superior had leased warehouse space in Anaheim and worked with Anaheim Jobs to hire ten additional employees, working through the Anaheim Enterprise Zone to obtain zone tax credits for opening its business in Anaheim and in hiring Anaheim residents. She added Superior was meeting or exceeding the terms of its contract by providing additional services to proactively remove graffiti and eliminate the backlog it inherited when the contract began. She further added it appeared taggers were less likely to vandalize sites when graffiti was removed promptly and staff hoped these services would help reduce graffiti in the city over time. Council Member Eastman remarked graffiti had been a critical concern with council and she personally felt there was a decrease in her neighborhood near City Hall and had strongly supported these efforts; she then moved to receive and file this report. Mayor Pro Tern Sidhu commended Superior for hiring Anaheim residents through Anaheim Jobs, with Council Member Murray concurring. With the motion to receive and file by Council Member Eastman, Mayor Pro Tern Sidhu seconded that motion. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5 (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Eastman, Galloway, Murray and Sidhu.) Noes — 0. Motion carried. 4. Receive and file status report on the City's contract with the Anaheim Chamber of D159 Commerce to administer the Anaheim Enterprise Zone (EZ). Council Meeting Minutes of August 28, 2012 Page 7 of 10 John Ramirez, Planning Department, reported council had approved a contract with the Chamber of Commerce to administer the Anaheim Enterprise Zone designated by the State earlier this year. The contract focused on marketing activities to promote the zone, issuing tax credit vouchers and ensuring commitments the city made to the state were being fulfilled. He indicated the Chamber regularly provided progress reports on activities and full payments were made only if all the tasks identified in the contract were completed. Based on staff's review of the monthly voucher and quarterly reports submitted to the city by the Chamber, it was determined the Chamber had met its contractual obligations for the first six months, and in some instances exceeded the requirements. Mr. Ramirez pointed out some of the key tasks achieved during the first six months. The Chamber made over 19,000 contacts with various business, organizations and community groups to promote the EZ with many of those contacts occurring during the 43 events the chamber participated in since the start of the contract last February such as trade shows in Anaheim, San Diego and Las Vegas as well as workshops and local business mixers and job fairs. In addition, marketing locally, the Chamber widely promoted Anaheim's EZ program in various electronic and print publications, the Anaheim Magazine, Anaheim Bulletin, and the Coronet Global Leader. The Coronet Global Leader, he explained, was an association of corporate real estate professionals and economic developers with a 7,000 worldwide membership representing Fortune 100 and Forbes Global 2000. In upcoming months, he noted, the EZ would be promoted in the Orange and Los Angeles County Business Journals, the Orange County Register and at the Anaheim Convention Center. He added the Chamber had also created the Anaheim Enterprise Zone website marketing it through social media sites, with over 11,000 visitor hits so far. Mr. Ramirez remarked that as a result of this marketing and promotional effort, 17 businesses took advantage of the program and obtained vouchers for the hiring tax credit, resulting in over 120 jobs within the city with an average wage of $11 an hour. He ended his report commenting the Chamber hired Margaret Larson as the Enterprise Zone manager, who brought over 15 years of public sector and business experience where she focused on business development and government relations services to her clients and was present should council have any questions on the report. Council Member Galloway appreciated the frequent updates remarking it was helpful to have consistent and regular reports to understand the types of businesses being targeted and the value received through these marketing efforts which would eventually translate into an increase to Anaheim's economy. Council Member Murray concurred that the value of this program was one that should benefit generations and having attended some of the meetings with prospective businesses, she indicated there were companies that would bring higher wage jobs to the city at a time when the cost of business and regulations was escalating and the economy not recovering as quickly as was hoped. She added when Anaheim was competing for this program, Michael Rossi, California's Job Adviser, mentioned Anaheim had the strongest and most articulate advocacy team, making the point the EZ program added value to the state, not just to the city. Mayor Pro Tern Sidhu moved to receive and file the report, seconded by Council Member Murray. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Eastman, Galloway, Murray and Sidhu.) Noes — 0. Motion Carried. 5. Award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Clark Construction Group - AG R -7317 California, LP, in the amount of $126,997,000, for the ARTIC construction contract and Council Meeting Minutes of August 28, 2012 Page 8 of 10 authorize the Finance Director to execute the Escrow Agreement pertaining to contract retentions. Mayor Tait reported a potential conflict of interest on this item as his firm had worked with OCTA this past year and exited the dais at 6:44 p.m.. Mayor Pro Tern Sidhu requested a staff report on this item. Public Works Director Natalie Meeks announced this item would award construction of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center ( ARTIC), a project that had been planned for a number of years and would change the way travelers passed through and around Anaheim by pulling all the transportation elements together, the Amtrak MetroLink, buses, shuttles and taxis and make it seamless to transfer between those modes to a final destination. She emphasized this center would be the gateway to Orange County and serve everyone beyond. Staff recommended awarding the construction contract to Clark Construction group, the low bidder and a firm well qualified and involved in a number of projects in the city. At a cost of nearly $127 million, she added this project was important to the future of transportation and without it, future traffic relief efforts for this region would be much more costly. Council Galloway stated ARTIC was a dynamic project that had been in the works for over ten years and of regional as well as local importance. She emphasized the funding for this project was designated transportation monies from the federal government as well as M1 and M2 revenue derived from a half cent sales tax voted in by Orange County residents specifically for transportation projects. None of these revenues, she underscored, could have been shifted to Anna Drive or other impoverished neighborhoods in the city as they could only be used for transportation uses. Council Member Murray remarked that ARTIC was part of a larger picture, a mobility center and the gateway for the entire county and region. It would serve some of the largest, most populated and congested bus routes coming into Anaheim and could ultimately provide additional airport capacity for the county of Orange by providing a MagLev connection at some point in the future to Ontario Airport. She noted that ARTIC had taken almost 10 years in development and had been supported by building trades and many others interested in making the project a reality and she looked forward to working with Clark Construction to ensure job potential was maximized. Council Member Galloway moved to approve Item No. 5, seconded by Council Member Murray Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 4: (Mayor Pro Tern Sidhu and Council Members: Eastman, Galloway and Murray.) Noes — 0. Abstention — 1: Mayor Tait. Motion to award ARTIC contract approved.

This is a public hearing to consider approval of the Police Department's Expenditure Plan for the fiscal year 2012/13 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) D160 award from the State budget, in the approximate amount of $555,220. Approve the Police Department's expenditure plan for the fiscal year 2012/13 SLESF award from the State budget, in the approximate amount of $555,220. John Welter, Police Chief, reported this item was a request to approve an expenditure plan for use of the SLESF funds, was the 17 year Anaheim had received these funds from the State and could be used only to supplement and replace existing budgeted expenses. Used to support police front line services, he stated the 2012/13 funds would be authorized to cover overtime expenses and purchase specific equipment such as the video /audio surveillance equipment for the detention facility. The overtime hours, he explained, would be assigned at the discretion of the Department. Mayor Tait opened the public hearing. William Fitzgerald, Anaheim Home, discussed a number of police related issues of concern, none of which related to the grant award. With no other comments offered, Mayor Tait closed the public hearing. Mayor Pro Tern Sidhu moved to approve the police department's expenditure plan for 2012/13 SLESF award, seconded by Council Galloway. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Eastman, Galloway, Murray and Sidhu.) Noes — 0. Motion Carried. Report on Closed Session Actions: None Council Communications: Having attended the grand opening of the Kaiser Permanente facility, Council Member Murray acknowledged their long -term investment in the community, attracting jobs and contributing to the local economy for years to come. She looked forward to working with Clark Construction to ensure local jobs were maximized with the ARTIC development and thanked the many non- profit organizations that came together during difficult times in a positive, proactive manner. Council Member Galloway also congratulated Kaiser Permanente on a medical center that was a model throughout the state and could act as a draw for companies in the biomedical and /or pharmaceutical industry to make Anaheim their home. She thanked the animal rights groups who voiced their support for a ban on exotic animals, clarifying the point that she did not want to Council Meeting Minutes of August 28, 2012 Page 10 of 10 ban circuses in general, because there were many examples of successful circuses that used domestic rather than exotic animals. Council Member Eastman reported on the successful celebrations for three community gardens recently completed and in use and hoped this was just the beginning of pocket community gardens citywide. Mayor Tait congratulated Public Utilities General Manager Marcie Edwards and Finance Director Debbie Moreno in researching and refinancing utility bonds which would save $60 million for Anaheim ratepayers with no greater risk and no greater return. He was appreciative of staff's continuing effort at guarding city assets and was also optimistic that finding solutions to helping neighborhoods would be accomplished through the people, as evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive responses received. Adjournment: At 7:17 P.M., Mayor Tait adjourned the meeting in honor of Neil Armstrong, a Navy fighter and test pilot, an astronaut and the first man to step foot on the moon.
