Beautiful and Anaheim City School District had completed the planting of 600 trees, part of a
tree planting grant from CAL FIRE. He thanked council for supporting and recognizing the
importance of maintaining a strong urban forestry program to benefit the community and the
beautification of the city.
Recognizing the Better4Business Conference and Exhibition
Joshua Dome, UBM Canon, remarked the goal of the Better4Business Conference and
Exhibition was to inspire and enable business attendees to connect with non - profit partners for
collaborative opportunities and to also provide a platform for the 200 non - profit exhibitors to
showcase their programs and projects. He invited the business community to attend the
conference on May 1 -2, 2013 at the Anaheim Convention Center to take advantage of this
opportunity to give back to the community.

between the interim city attorney and his current law firm. Mr. Dunn also recommended Raul
Quezada as an interim Police Chief.

Duane Roberts, resident, following up on comments made at the March 26th meeting relating to
evidence regarding the relationship between Orange County Human Relations and the Anaheim
Police Department, discussed an email from Rusty Kennedy of that agency to Police Chief
Welter asking he attend a private reception to discuss the Police Department's use of the
agency on civil unrest and other issues in the city. Mr. Roberts felt this was evidence that
Orange County Human Relations agency could not be fair and impartial in any role of a future
civilian oversight committee.
James Robert Reade, resident, offered his opinion on specific gang members and their activities
within the community.
Gigi Fusco Meece, Anaheim Performing Arts Center Foundation, explained the mission of the
Foundation was to build and maintain a state -of -the art venue in the city to showcase Anaheim's
performing artists. Interested persons could find details on www.apacf.org
Scarlet Romero, resident, reported on a request she had made two years ago to install
sidewalks on the south side of La Palma. She noted the city responded to her request in writing
citing the American Disability Act and the Safe Pathway to Schools program and indicated the
sidewalks would be in place in 2015. She looked forward to seeing that accomplishment along
with the slurry seal program promised for streets bordering housing tracts on La Palma, Lincoln,
Sunkist and State College. Another issue she mentioned was sprinklers causing pedestrian falls
with Mayor Tait requesting the City Manager follow up on that concern.
Bob Jensen, Dean of Fine Arts, invited the Anaheim community to a yearlong centennial
celebration of Fullerton College that would begin with an exhibit at the Fullerton Museum
featuring stories of Orange County over the last 100 years.
Trina Delgado sought justice for the death of her nephew, Joel Acevedo, and answers as to how
it occurred while he was restrained by handcuffs.
Beatriz Topete, Unite Here Local 11, stated 500 workers would be fired as of June 30 as Arena
Management took over operation of the Honda Center. She urged council to pass a worker
retention ordinance, in support of these workers representing the working class of Anaheim as
well as the resort, business and special interests.
Jeff Shultz, resident and grill worker at the Honda Center, urged council to consider a worker
retention ordinance to stop the dismissal of Honda Center employees.
Jeanette Marie - Lisner, Honda Center employee, voiced her support of a worker retention
ordinance stating there should be accountability to businesses that operated public venues such
as the Honda Center, owned by the City of Anaheim.
Trina, remarked as one of the many employees serving customers and contributing to the
success of the Honda Center, all were deserving of the city's protection.
Katie Rowlins, the daughter of the prior speaker, explained the real impacts to her if her mother
lost employment at the Honda Center.
Lisa Peterson, Honda Center employee, urged council to pass the worker retention ordinance

Eric Altman, OCCORD, spoke in support of Item No 17 on the agenda, immigration reform
providing affordable pathways to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants in the
nation. Additionally, he urged council to pass worker retention legislation to protect existing
Honda Center employees from losing their jobs. He remarked this suggested ordinance was a
time - tested strategy and had been enacted to protect jobs at the Staples Center and Los
Angeles Convention Center.
Derek Smith, Unite Here Local 11, outlined the specifics of the worker retention ordinance
stating it would give existing employees access to their jobs for some set period of time, usually
30 -90 days, and did not guarantee jobs in perpetuity. He added cities such as Los Angeles
enacted this legislation for venues on public land in which the city had a fiduciary interest and
where a change of operator might occur. The ordinance mitigated the instability and allowed for
a period of time for operators to be able to determine which employees were hard - working and
had long relationships with customers and which did not.
Joshua Owens, public minister, expressed concern over a citation he received for sleeping in an
Anaheim park. He suggested an ordinance to defend the rights of the poor and allow for a safe
shelter for sleep be addressed by city leaders.
Dorothy Rose, Orange County Symphony, announced the next concert was scheduled for May
19th, and would feature the wind symphony ensemble led by Dr. Anthony Mark Sefaro, a
Fullerton college professor. She emphasized the Symphony collaborated with a number of
academic institutions to bring quality performers to Anaheim, inviting the community to attend.
Eduardo Garcia, through a Spanish interpreter, thanked council for supporting the
Better4Business conference and the immigration reform legislation on the agenda.
Ms. Rojas, SEIU member, urged council to support immigration reform to benefit the many
working families in Anaheim.
An unidentified male spoke in support of Honda Center workers and the potential loss of their
jobs. He encouraged council to assist in this matter and also urged support of immigration
reform and to consider district rather than citywide municipal elections.
Corey spoke on a number of issues, including the potential loss of jobs for all Honda Center
workers and the death of her brother.
Renee thanked the City for assisting the Perez family and their housing situation, discussed the
homeless issue and its impacts as well as the impact of lost jobs on Honda Center employees
and the need for justice and accountability within the Police Department.
Jeannie Tran, Senator Lou Correa's office, offered a copy of Senate Joint Resolution 8 recently
passed by the senate and awaiting a vote in the assembly. The resolution addressed principles
for repairing the nation's broken immigration system and urging congress and the president to
seek comprehensive bi- partisan and workable approach to improving the current system.
Maricel Rivera, SEIU, offered support to Unite Here Local 11 and of the long- awaited
immigration reform legislation, urging council to assist the Honda Center employees in their time
of need and to approve Item No. 17 on the agenda.

Joanne Sosa, ESCRE, remarked a community forum would address civil unrest and take
questions from the community on May 6 th at St. Anthony's church. She indicated a number of
organizations would be present and she hoped residents and activists would attend and actively
participate.
Jose Moreno remarked that recently a presentation by the Olin group for a study commissioned
by the Anaheim Community Foundation shared information on the challenges facing police,
schools, municipalities and families focused on a high level of concentrated poverty in Anaheim.
He added 22 percent of children lived in poverty and 4,000 of Anaheim's children were
categorized as homeless. In addition, he objected to a "robo" call by former mayor Curt Pringle
speaking against the formation of a police oversight committee stating such civilian committees
had demonstrated to be a benefit to improved community relationships.
Ryan Leaderman, Citibank, addressed his comments to Item No. 5 on the agenda. Citibank
had two primary concerns regarding the proposed project at 5635 East La Palma and those
concerns were inadequacy of parking and inadequacy of access documented in a
correspondence dated March 20, 2013. It was his understanding that staff's recommendation
was to return this matter to the Planning Commission for a rehearing to determine whether
findings for the variance could be satisfied. He added as it currently stood, the project
considered the use of Citibank's parking spaces, which were not available to the applicant and
given that fact, he believed those findings could not be made. He would, however, welcome the
opportunity for the Planning Commission to rehear the matter, but asked for clarification that his
understanding of staff's recommendation was correct.
Bob Abbott, Citibank, spoke to Item No. 5, indicating Citibank was one of three properties that
were joined and shared common access and a common parking field. He believed that the data
was not fully or correctly analyzed during the first approval process and urged council to
reconsider the data or return the matter to the Planning Commission for a full consideration.
Maria Rivera, through a Spanish interpreter, spoke in support of municipal elections by district
as well as immigration reform legislation. She invited council to visit her neighborhood to better
understand the dynamics of the community.
Mike Balsamo, BIA Orange County Chapter, introduced himself as a new representative, stating
his organization would like to serve as an information resource for land use planning and
infrastructure uses and looked forward to working with city staff on future issues.
Alexandra Ariza spoke in support of the Anaheim Police Department, asking that council vote
against a civilian police review board, stating a fifth level to the current oversight review process
was unnecessary and added another financial burden to the city. She believed additional
officers and resources should be provided to service Anaheim's 53 square miles and numerous
visitor - serving entertainment venues.
German Santos, resident, spoke to on -going problems related to police department operations.
Cynthia Ward, resident, objected to "robo" calls and other propaganda associated with the
proposed police civilian review board. She strongly supported the need for a review board as
the reputation of law enforcement was being harmed by a handful of officers with little respect
for the community.

M142 errors or omissions in Ordinance No. 6265, previously adopted.

18. RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -054 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
D154.3 THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adopting a Memorandum of Understanding establishing terms
and conditions of employment for employees in classifications represented by the
Anaheim Police Association.
Kristine Ridge, Human Resource Director reported this item would approve a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the Anaheim Police Association (APA) as their prior contract
concluded January 3, 2013 and since that time, staff had been meeting with Association
representatives to reach a successor agreement. Ms. Ridge explained this negotiated
agreement covered 345 employees with a term of 2.5 years plus an option for two six -month
extensions at an overall cost of about $1.6 million. The major provisions of the agreement
included pension reform consisting of full implementation of the Public Employees' Pension
Reform Act of 2013 in which any new hires employed after January 1, 2013 would be placed in
a pension benefit formula of 2.7% @ 57 with the employee paying 50 percent of the normal cost
of the plan or 12.75 percent. This, she pointed out, was well in advance of the cost - sharing
standard that must be in place by year 2018 per the pension reform mandate.
Ms. Ridge added approval of this resolution would result in the immediate elimination of the 90
percent employer paid member contribution (EPMC) recorded as additional compensation,
remittance of the full pension contribution on that additional nine percent currently an obligation
of the city, and incremental four percent increases in employee contributions toward their
pensions up to 12 percent with equal offsetting wage increases. In addition, there would be
flexible staffing schedules, additional pay down of comp time earned to increase the availability
of sworn staffing, clarifying language on employment issues, and an additional two hours of
standby pay for potential court appearances that exceed a half a day.
Mayor Tait asked for clarification on the Pension Reform Act. Ms. Ridge responded the
legislation dictated a specific benefit formula along with a cost - sharing standard of 50 percent by
2018. For public safety plans, she indicated there was a default benefit formula based on the
current pension benefit formula (for Anaheim public safety employees, the current plan was 3%
@ 50); so the default formula was 2.7% @ 57. She added employers were free to negotiate
with unions for a lower formula; i.e., 2% @ 57 but state law prohibited an employer from
imposing that reduced benefit. Mayor Tait stated the average cost for a police officer in
City Council Minutes of April 16, 2013
Page 9 of 11
Anaheim was about $200,000 for pay and benefits and in 2015, that cost was projected to be
$212,000. He felt the city should have negotiated for and found agreement on the 2% @ 57
formula to reduce those pension costs and allow for the hiring of more officers in the future and
for those reasons, would oppose the adoption of this resolution.
Council Member Murray inquired whether any other cities contracted for the 2% @ 57 plan and
how Anaheim would fare competitively offering lesser benefits. Ms. Ridge responded she was
not aware of any other cities with a 2 % @57 contract in place and that potential employees
would take into account pension benefits offered in neighboring markets during recruitment
processes. She noted that reducing the 3% @ 50 pension down to 2.7% @ 57 would achieve
significant financial savings, also pointing out staff had discussed the 2% @ 57 plan available
under the pension reform act and determined an agreement reached to meet that benefit was
too costly to the city and without the ability to impose, would not be achieved.
Council Member Brandman supported Governor Brown's Pension Reform Act remarking
tonight's agreement would be the first step in complying with the spirit of that compromise and
would set the city on the right track for the future. He would like to see similar action taken with
the remaining bargaining units. Mayor Pro Tern Eastman also supported this action and Mayor
Tait reconfirmed that he would place a no vote for this item, further clarifying that the city of
Long Beach had negotiated a 2% contract.
Council Member Murray moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. -054 OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adopting a Memorandum of Understanding establishing
terms and conditions of employment for employees in classifications represented by the
Anaheim Police Association, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Eastman. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 4:
(Mayor Pro Tern Eastman and Council Members: Brandman, Kring and Murray.) Noes — 1:
Mayor Tait. Motion approved.
21. ORDINANCE NO. 6275 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
M142 ANAHEIM amending Ordinance No. 6235, relating to a pilot program for the operation of
a self - service bicycle sharing system within the City of Anaheim.
Sheri Vander Dussen, Planning Director, reported in February, 2012, council authorized a one
year pilot program to allow self -serve bike sharing systems in the city. This pilot was created in
response to a request by Bike Nation, a vendor expressing interest in establishing such a
system in Anaheim. This was a service in which bicycles were made available for shared use
for individuals who did not own them with the primary goal to provide low cost access to bicycles
for short distance trips as an alternative to private vehicles or public transit. Ms. Vander Dussen
stated the pilot program was authorized for a one year period, set to expire May 1, 2013, and
was operated at no cost to the city and its taxpayers.
Bike Nation was the only vendor to propose a bike sharing system under the terms of the pilot
program and to date, she remarked, Bike Nation had installed three kiosks: at the Honda
Center, Anaheim Stadium Metrolink Station, and the Anaheim Convention Center with a total of
30 bikes available for rent. The purpose of the pilot program was to allow one or more vendors
to operate a system to be evaluated by staff after a one year period and to return to council with
recommendations to continue, modify, or terminate the program. She explained since Bike
Nation's system became operational January 2013, no data had been submitted to determine
ridership and the potential benefits of the program and for those reasons, staff recommended
the pilot program be extended for one more year to give adequate time to collect meaningful
data.
City Council Minutes of April 16, 2013
Page 10 of 11
Mayor Tait remarked he would be more comfortable supporting an extension if there was a time
limit on the process, followed by a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to allow other
competitors to submit should council determine to go forward with this program. Council
Member Murray recommended council conduct another workshop on this pilot program for an
update on the process of implementing this new system, and recommending that a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) process be considered once council determined it was beneficial to go
forward with a bike sharing system in the city. After much discussion was held by all members
of the city council on an RFP versus a RFQ process, the motion offered by Mayor Tait was to
amend the ordinance to include a clause requiring that a Request for Proposals be followed at
the conclusion of the pilot program, should council determine that a bike sharing system was
beneficial to Anaheim, seconded by Council Member Kring. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 4: (Mayor
Tait and Council Members: Brandman, Kring and Murray.) Noes — 1: Mayor Pro Tem Eastman.
Motion Carried.
