FY 2Q14/15 PROPOSED BUDGET PRESENTATION:
INTRODUCTION: Debbie Moreno, Finance Director, announced this second workshop
would present a revised citywide budget with an emphasis on expenditures by functional
group, followed by the capital improvement program with highlights of specific projects
presented by the city's capital management team.
She recapped the FY 2014/15 proposed budget totaled $1.6 billion and included an
investment of over $316 million in Anaheim's communities with new or improved parks
and community centers, continued street and transportation improvements and utility
system upgrades. The total $1.6 billion budget reflected the following: an increase of
3.3% over the current year adopted budget and a 16% increase in Other General
Purpose funds due to changes in Economic Development for the purchase of land; a
45% decrease in Capital Projects Funds due to the timing of expenditures for the ARTIC
project scheduled for completion in late 2014; and an 18% increase in Enterprise Funds
due to the planned Convention Center expansion. She pointed out that it was typical to
see greater fluctuations in the Enterprise and Capital Projects funds because of timing
variances with the capital plan. In the General Fund, she pointed to a small increase of
3.5% due to modest labor increases, inflationary costs related to operating expenses,
and funding shifts to preserve services to the community in spite of losses in grant
revenues.
BY FUNCTION: There were five functional areas of the budget: Providing the
Necessifies, Ensuring Quality of Life, Keeping Us Safe, Supporting Activifies and
Administering Efficient Government. Non-Operating Costs in the budget which included
Capital fmprovements and Debt service represented 33 percent of the total budget while
the remaining portions represented operating costs by function. Providing the
Necessities was the largest component at $608.5 Million or 38 percent of the total,
Ensuring Qualify of Life reflected 15 percent of the budget or $242.7 million, Keeping Us
Safe comprised 11 percent with a budget of $183.6 million and Administering Supporfing
Activities combined total of $50.7 million reflecting only three percent of the City's total
operating budget.
The Keeping Us Safe function included the Police and Fire departments with a total
budget of $189.6 million reflecting 66 percent of the General Fund but representing onfy
12 percent of the total budget. This funding, she remarked, provided for continued
efforts to strengthen community policing and community outreach programs and focused

on engaging Anaheim's youths through numerous programs such as Junior Cadets,
Anaheim Police Explorers, Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership (GRIP) and a
new Public Safety Career Pathway far junior high school students. In addition, the
proposed budget also maintained funding for staffing enhancements approved over the
previous two years in both Police and Fire and that the Fire and Rescue Department
continued efforts to repair and replace aging equipment and a commitment to the
delivery of high quality service to the community.
Providing the Necessifies included Public Utilities and Public Works Departments, to
maintain the City's infrastructures, including streets, sewers and facilities, as well as
Anaheim's electric and water utility systems, all essential components for a thriving
community. Providing fhe Necessities at $897.9 million was largely supported by
restricted intergovernmental revenues and user fees and the reason why it reflected
56% of the total city budget and only 7% of the General Fund budget. Of this amount,
she stated, $289.4 million woufd be used to fund capital projects which would be
addressed in detail later in the workshop.
The function of Ensuring Qualify of Life included Planning, Community Development,
Community Services, and Convention, Sports and Entertainment departments. Ms.
Moreno outlined those departmental responsibilities explaining the Planning Department
helped plan and shape the economic and recreational bafance of the City through
building and planning review of new development; Community Development looked for
ways to improve the community through economic development, affordable housing, job
creation and helping those in need; Community Services provided open space and
activities to enhance quality of life; and the Convention, Sports and Entertainment
department offered premier venues to attract visitors to expand the economic base while
providing residents the opportunity to enjoy quality sports and entertainment. Ensuring
Quality of Life at $269.4 million was 16% of the GF budget and a comparable 17% of the
total City budget with $26.7 million aliocated for capital projects.
Ms. Moreno remarked that Administering Efficient Government included the City Council,
City Administration, City Attorney, City Clerk and the City Treasurer's budget, reflecting 7
percent of the GF budget and only 1% of the total city budget. She added this functional
group with a budget of $18.2 milfion for the new fiscal year provided the leadership to
carry out policies, provide legal defense and advice, offer financial investment of assets
and support vital record keeping functions of the City.
The last functional component, she stated, was Supporting Activities at $237.1 million,
comprised of Finance and Human Resources and responsible for the acquisition,
accounting and protection of City assets, as well as hiring and developing quality
personnel. This function reflected only 4 percent of the GF budget while it comprised 15
percent of the total city budget, however, of that 15 percent, 13 percent was for Non-
Operating costs of mostly employee benefits and insurance costs managed through
internal service funds and already reflected in each department's expenditures. She
added a smaller portion of Non-Operating costs was used for expenditures refated to the
Resort and Fiduciary Debt Service.
Ms. Moreno emphasized that the city's $1.6 billion budget was a diverse plan that
provided for innovative programs and thoughtFul investments in neighborhoods with a

focus on strengthening public safety, improving neighborhoods and community
infrastructure and fostering economic growth.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: Within the Non-Operating Costs, Anaheim's
Capital Improvement program (CIP) was proposed at $316.1 million proposed for the
coming #iscal year. Ms. Moreno indicated that projecting the city's anticipated capital
investments over a five year period, showed no CIP projects were planned for the
General Fund and that most projects were supported by restricted funding sources such
as transportation grants, gas taxes, developer impact fees and enterprise utilities (Water,
Electric, and Sanitation). She introduced Natalie Meeks to begin the presentation of the
capital improvement program.
Public Works Director Natalie Meeks remarked that budget presentations often
overlooked capital projects because the majority of funding came from restricted sources
that provided little flexibifity on how funds were spent. However, she emphasized, these
projects provided the necessary infrastructure to serve the city and the amenities that
made Anaheim successful. The ranges of projects/locations benefited every corner of
the city and were identified on a map for all to see, although in the interests of time, Ms.
Meeks stated, she would highlight a sampiing of the many capital projects planned, with
the exception that they would not be presented by each department as had been the
case in the past. The projects were grouped as 2014/15 Ribbon Cuttings or projects to
be competed in the next fiscal year, followed by the 2014/15 Groundbreakings (projects
that would break ground next year but not be completed until the following year), which
would be presented by General Manager Dukku Lee, and those projects planned for the
future to be presented by Director Terry Lowe.
Linda Vista Reservoir and Pump Station: Ms. Meeks reported Public Utilities recently
compfeted the Linda Vista Reservoir and Pump Station project that replaced a 70-year
old earthen-lined reservoir with a modern concrete tank capable of storing 4 mil(ion
gallons of water, critical to the city as it would provide up to one-third of Anaheim water
needs on a daily basis via local groundwater. The facility was centrally-located next to
Anaheim Lake, and served central and parts of west and east Anaheim.
Convention Center Solar Proiect: Public Utilities was partnering with the Anaheim
Convention Center to complete an 8,700 solar panel project that would convert suniight
into clean electricity, and when completed fater this summer, the project would be
capable of producing about 2.5 Megawatts, or enough electricity to power 550 Anaheim
homes. Ms. Meeks noted this project would be the fargest solar installation on a public
convention center in the U.S, and also helped Anaheim comply with state mandates for
increased renewable energy supplies.
Renewal Power: In the area of renewal power, Ms. Meeks reported Public Utilities
would receive renewable landfill gas energy from the Bowerman Landfill, an Orange
County facility that converted landfill trash that naturally produced methane gas into
energy. That project would start delivering power to Anaheim in the fall of 2015 and the
resulting energy would provide a stable source of fuel to offset variable resources such
as wind and solar. She added because of the increasing amounts of renewable power
supplies in California, the California lndependent System Operator requested that Public
Utilities increase its Canyon Power Plant's operating time from the current 5 hours per
day to 17 hours per day to help provide grid support when the wind was not blowing and
the sun not shining.

Anaheim Reqional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTICI: In December 2014, the
ARTIC project would be completed, a world-class transportation center on a 16-acre site
owned by the city. It would serve as a transportation gateway to Anaheim and Orange
County with rail, rubber-tired, and pedestrian connections coming together to take
travelers to their destinations. Positioned between the Honda Center and Angel
Stadium, Ms. Meeks reported this iconic facility would also be a mixed-use destination of
its own and the city was currently assessing multiple proposals to determine the right
mix of transit-serving and destination tenants. She noted ARTIC's innovative design
already captured the attention of those in the industry, receiving seven awards for
design, and now it was attracting the attention of everyone passing by.
Anaheim Canvon Business District: Ms. Meeks emphasized the Canyon District was the
second largest industrial center in Orange County and home to 32% of Anaheim's
jobs. Within those four square miles were approximately 1,800 businesses employing
over 50,000 people. She stated the area was undergoing a major transformation,
including the addition of Kaiser Permanente's medical campus and new apartment
homes.
Anaheim Canvon Pedestrian Improvement Proiect: This project would create an urban
greening and safe pedestrian network between the newly constructed Kaiser
Permanente medical campus, Metrolink Commuter Rail Station and the Anaheim
Canyon Business District. The result was improved safety, accessibility and mobility,
and it was anticipated to be completed next year made possible through a federat
funding source.
The Platinum Trianale: The Platinum Triangle area enabled millions of square feet of
new development opportunities for office, restaurant and residential projects. It featured
high density residential, professional sports teams, an exciting array of dining and
entertainment, plus immediate access to the rest of Southern California from three
freeways and the new ARTIC facility. Ms. Meeks noted improvements to this area were
in progress to accommodate the growing dining, entertainment and residential
development.
Katella Avenue Improvements: Improvements on Katelfa Avenue from Lewis Street to
State College Boulevard, would widen the roadway to Platinum Triangle standards, add
left turn lanes, signal modifications, dedicated right turn lanes, sidewalks, bus pads, and
raised medians to beautify the area and improve roadway capacity and
safety. Construction was anticipated to be completed in fiscal year 2014/15.
Coordination of Comqrehensive Proiects: Ms. Meeks remarked Public Works would
continue to focus on coordinating comprehensive projects that addressed all
maintenance needs in a neighborhood at one time and for FY 14/15, plans were to pave
and slurry approximately 6 million square feet of residential streets across nine
neighborhoods, (equivalent to about 100 football fields of pavement) and would include
removal and replacement of damaged concrete, sign replacement and tree
maintenance.
Neighborhood Street Maintenance: Director Meeks remarked that in 2010, Public Works
restructured its approach to neighborhood street maintenance to concurrently address
pavement, damaged sidewalk, signs, tree maintenance and reforesting. When work was
completed now, the residents would feel well served and, she noted, could result in
secondary benefits by residents keeping their own properties maintained as well.

Doq Parks: Ms. Meeks reported Anaheim's first dog park was proposed for a 1.3 acre
non-programmed area of La Palma Park near the corner of La Palma Avenue and
Anaheim Boulevard. This area would include a small and a large dog area, a 6-foot high
perimeter fence, entrance and exit gates, benches and additional trees.
The second site would be located in Olive Hills Park, separate from the tennis courts and
would include small and large dog areas, expanded parking to 44 spaces, restroom, and
agility equipment areas in both dog sections. Ms. Meeks added the design included the
use of native plants and trees to attract birds and butterflies as requested by the
neighbors and the concept had been approved by the community who also requested
the facility only be open from dawn to dusk with no additional lighting.
Mira Loma Park & Communitv Center: The Park Lane neighborhood needed open
space and recreational opportunities and in March of 2010, Ms. Meeks stated the city
acquired a parcel of land in that area with a HUD Section 108 loan. In addition the city
received $4.2 million in grant funds for the design and construction of the park and with
an extensive public input process, the community requested the conversion of the
existing 4,300 square foot building into a Silver Leed Certified community center with a
multi-purpose room, kitchen, computer center, teen lounge, classroom, counseling
offices and restrooms. The adjacent park would include a perimeter trail, skate plaza,
outdoor classroom plaza, picnic and barbeque area, events pfaza, interactive water
feature, a variety of play areas, a vertical garden wall and parking. She added green
design features included multiple storm and bioswales, solar canopies, and native
gardens with the project expected to open this fall.
Paul Revere Park: Ms. Meeks remarked the development of Paul Revere Park was in
response to the city's District Neighborhood Council request that CDBG funds be spent
on open space for needed residential use in the Guinida Lane priority neighborhood.
She added the project was also funded through the Land and Water Conservation Fund
(LWCF Program) whose goal was to assist in preserving, devefoping and ensuring
accessibility of outdoor recreation resources to fulfill the needs of the neighborhoods.
This park would offer much needed amenities including a gazebo, a volleyball court, a
playground area, landscape, hardscape, security lights, exercise stations, a decorative
mural, and a new block wall and was anticipated to be completed this fall.
Guide for Development in Greater powntown: Concluding her presentation, Ms. Meeks
remarked the Community Development Department continued to implement the Guide
for Development in the greater downtown with additional restaurants opening at the
Packing House over the summer, and construction of new street scape and sidewalk on
Santa Ana Street finking the Packing District with Colony Park to the east. Improvements
would include curbs and gutters, historically scored sidewalks, vintage street iights,
canopy trees to match existing improvements, and bulb outs at intersections for traffic
calming. She added not only would the tree-lined pedestrian way enhance this short
walk for families living in the 700 homes in Colony Park, additional parking on the street
would offer options for the general neighborhood.
GROUND BREAKING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS: Utilities General Manager Dukku
Lee presented those capital improvements projects breaking ground this fiscal year to be
completed in the following fiscal year.
Water Storaqe Proiects: Mr. Lee indicated the Burruel Water Storage Tank would be
rehabilitated to extend its life, address vulnerabilities associated with aging equipment
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 6 of 29
and minimize risk of system failure. The tank, located south of Nohl Ranch Road and
east of Villa Real Drive, held just under a million gallons of water and was part of the
regular tank inspection and capital maintenance program of the Utilities Department with
construction expected to begin later this summer and final completion set for May 2015.
Another water storage project, the La Palma Reservoir, a facility that began service in
the early 1950's, was scheduled for rehabilitation and upgrade to the reservoir and the
booster station that served the central and west parts of Anaheim. Mr. Lee indicated this
project would replace an older structure and incorporate seismic improvements with
construction beginning in the latter half of fiscal year 2015. �
Underqround Conversion Proqram: Mr. Lee reported the Citywide Underground
Conversion Program, an ongoing program converting overhead electrical and
communications facilities underground, scheduled three project milestones for the next
fiscal year. The first was part of the West/Westmont Underground Project with
construction to continue on West Street from La Palma to Lincoln and on Westmont
Drive from West to Loara Streets with a completion date of March 2015. The
Lincoln/Dale Underground Project was under construction on Lincoln and the next phase
on Dale Avenue was in design, with construction scheduled to start in September 2014.
The third project was part of the ongoing construction on Miraloma Avenue between the
91 and 57 freeways, in coordination with the Miraloma Park and Family Resource
Center, with this project beginning November 2014 and scheduled for completion by
December 2015.
Anaheim Convention Center: Mr. Lee announced Betterment VII, the 7� expansion of
the Convention Center would begin this fiscal year, pointing out that the most recent
expansion occurred 14 years ago and this project was needed to help retain large
annual conventions and trade shows, attract high-yield meeting intensive business, and
hold concurrent conventions to maximize the economic impact and minimize the peaks
and valleys in hotel room occupancies. The expansion would also replace Carpark 1
parking structure. When completed, he explained, the expansion on the current Carpark
1 site would consist of: 200,000 square feet of leasable, flexible space that could be
used as exhibit, ballroom or meeting rooms; the replacement of existing parking spaces,
new loading docks and a new, improved vehicular entrance; a climate-controlled
connection to the existing facility and all the necessary front of house and back of house
space.
Sidewalk Infill Proiects: In 2014/15, Public Works would begin a number of sidewalk infill
projects to improve the safety of routes for pedestrians and one such area highlighted for
Council by Mr. Lee was on Ball Road from Dale to Magnolia, a federally-funded Safe
Route to Schools project that would offer safer pedestrian access for school children by
adding sidewalk along the Ball Road sidewalk gap. Mr. Lee added this project would
address resident's complaints that school children had to walk through water and muddy
areas on their way to school and would improve visibility for pedestrians, cyclists, and
motorists.
Traffic Siqnals: Another Public Works project would see the installation of new traffic
signals at Lincoln Avenue and Westchester Drive and also at the intersection of
Magnolia Avenue and Winston Raad in West Anaheim. Work would include a fulfy
actuated traffic signal equipped with accessible pedestrian signals, signage, crosswalk
striping, pavement markings, and ADA accessible curb ramps on both sides of Lincoln
Ave. These projects, Mr. Lee remarked, would especially benefit students attending
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 7 of 29
nearby Centralia, Danbrook and Salk Elementary Schools, Magnolia High School, and
neighboring senior living facilities. He added the city was in partnership with Radio
Disney and nearby elementary schools to host interactive assemblies with the students
at each school to teach pedestrian and bicycle safety.
Park Refresh Proiects: Looking to make parks more enjoyable to the neighboring
communities and restoring the natural vitality that marked each park's original creation
was the reason why Community Services staff proposed an ambitious effort to refresh
several parks, including Boysen, Brookhurst, La Palma, Maxwell, Pearson, Sage and
Stoddard. Mr. Lee indicated this effort would repair or replace those amenities most in
need of attention including park entrances and picnic shelters, fencing and athletic field
backstops, basketball courts, sidewalks, pathway lighting and parking lots, a very
significant investment in Anaheim's neighborhood parks. As an exampfe, he stated the
park entrances at Brookhurst Park would be repaired and repainted, along with
decorative perimeter fencing and resurfacing of dilapidated walkways and other
pavement areas. He emphasized that by refreshing parks in this manner, residents
would have safe and useful facilities for years to come.
Ponderosa Park, Gvm and Familv Resource Center: Mr. Lee stated the Community
Services Department was designing this new facility that would offer a social gathering
place as well as recreational, family and community services that promoted stability and
the healthy development of families. This 7.6 acre park was located on Haster Street,
adjacent to the Ponderosa Efementary School in the Haster/Orangewood priority
neighborhood and would provide joint use programs to leverage investments of both
time and money to create a vibrant and active community resource. Park improvements
would include a skate-board park, group picnic area, splash pad, a new tot lot, as well as
landscaped open space filled with existing mature trees and new landscape plantings.
In addition, the new Family Resource Center would contain about 2Q,000 square feet of
space and include a new multi-purpose room, meeting rooms, administrative offices,
classrooms, a teen lounge, and a new community gymnasium.
Community Services Director Terry Lowe continued the budget presentation highlighting
those capital projects that were in the Pipeline for FY 2014/15, beginning with water
system reliability.
Water Svstem Reliabilitv: Mr. Lowe reported Public Utilities maintained approximately
750 miles of pipeline in Anaheim to deliver water for fire protection and drinking water
purposes emphasizing that insuring those pipelines were in good condition was essential
to providing reliable, uninterrupted service and reducing the potential for main breaks.
Utilities would continue with its water main replacement program, replacing pipelines
nearing the end of their useful life, and in the process reducing the number of main
breaks, especially important in conserving water during this statewide drought.
Other water improvements included the replacement of aging equipment, replacing old
water wells with new ones, and upgrading a computerized water operations system that
allowed for remote monitoring and control of the entire water system on a 24/7 basis to
ensure that adequate water flows and pressures were delivered to all customers. Slides
depicting the various replacements/upgrades were shown.
Electric Capital Improvements: Mr. Lowe announced that the Public Utilities Department
had received the Reliable Public Power Provider, or RP3 recognition again in 2014 for
providing customers with the highest degree of reliable and safe electric service, pointing
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 8 of 29
out Anaheim had received this recognition since the program began in 2006 and was
one of 95 utilities to be awarded this designation among the 2000+ public power utilities
nationwide.
Next year's capital improvements related to electrical utilities would continue to enhance
system reliability and included replacing aging infrastructure at substations such as high
voltage circuit breakers, transformers, disconnect switches and buried cable nearing the
end of its useful life. Additionally, modernizing the local grid to incorporate monitoring
and remote operable equipment would help restore outages as soon as possible.
New Park Mr. Lowe remarked that a previously executed franchise agreement with
Southern California Edison required that neariy 10 acres of land be made available on
Edison owned property for public park development. This proposed 1.5 acre park would
be located at the southeast corner of Cerritos and State College Boulevard, and he
explained, the community had expressed a desire for amenities that included jogging
paths, exercise stations and basketball courts. The master plan also included three half-
court basketball courts, a low perimeter fence adjacent to the railroad tracks, a 16 foot
wide decomposed granite path for walking, running and Edison access, street parking,
shade structures with benches and picnicking and exercise equipment, and he added,
the park would be lit to accommodate evening use.
Brookhurst Street Wideninq: Mr. Lowe explained that although the Brookhurst widening was
wrapping up from Katella to Ball Road, making it a six lane arterial road from the beach to the 5
Freeway, there was still a bottleneck where Brookhurst was only four lanes from the SR 5 to SR
91. The Brookhurst Street Improvement Project from the 5 to the 91 would be in the design and
right-of-way phase next year to widen that stretch to a six lane street and in addition, it would
also add a six-foot-wide northbound and southbound bikeway, as well as new raised and
landscaped medians. He indicated the instatlation of the new raised median would enhance
traffic safety by channeling left-turns to and from existing driveways and side streets to specific
median openings, enhance roadway operations by reducing vehicular travel time at the local
and regional levels, reduce fuel consumption and improve drainage facilities. He indicated the
project would be completed in the fall of 2016.
Anaheim Rapid Connection (ARC): Mr. Lowe remarked ARC was another project in the
pipeline in partnership with Orange County Transportation Authority and was part of the
Measure M2 Project S Program intended to provide connections from Metrolink stations
to major destinations and activity centers. He reported it would provide an east-west,
high-capacity transit connection between Metrolink, Amtrak, bus and other transit
services from ARTIC and neighborhoods, and other work, recreation, entertainment and
sports venues in the five-square mile study area that included the Platinum Triangle and
the Anaheim Resort. In 2012, Council selected the streetcar as the locally preferred
alternative for further environmental analysis which would run at-grade on embedded
steel rail tracks over a 3.2 miie corridor with approximately 6.4 miies of track. Work was
underway on environmental analysis of this project with those documents anticipated to
be available early next year for public review and input, followed by pubfic hearings on
the project.
Sewer Repair/Rehabilitation: Mr. Lowe noted Public Works had an extensive sewer
repair and rehabilitation program to maintain the sewer system at a level that preserved
the city's ability to serve new and existing businesses and residents; and it not only
maintained and inspected the system, but produced a master plan for future use. This
information identified and addressed system deficiencies, supported future economic
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 9 of 29
growth and prevented potential sewer spills. He added when rehabilitation was possible
as opposed to replacement, it was done to keep costs down and minimize impacts to
residents. Currently there were sewer improvements projects on Chapman Avenue,
Crescent Ave/Loara St/North St/Beverly Drive, and Orangewood Avenue that would
address the future sanitary sewer needs in their areas.
Traffic Conqestion: The intersection of Sunkist Street and Ball Road experienced a daily
traffic jam as a result of school traffic at the nearby schools and subsequent trips to other
destinations. He added, at times the traffic backing up had been measured to be 1,900
feet long and adding eight minutes to get through� the intersection. Mr. Lowe stated
Public Works was addressing this need by widening Sunkist Street and Ball Raad by up
to five feet on each side which would allow dual left turn lanes on southbound Sunkist
Street with over 300 feet of traffic storage in each lane. He emphasized the improvement
would quadruple the storage capacity near the signal, allowing traffic to flow smoothly
and reducing wait times during high traffic periods and would benefit hundreds of
commuters and Anaheim residents who used this route to commute and drop off
students at nearby schools with improved safety and reduced travel times. Public Works
also recognized that the existing bus stop location created limited right turn access on
eastbound Ball Road and was coordinating with OCTA to move the bus stop 75 feet to
the west, providing an improved bus stop shaded by trees. This new location, he pointed
out, would allow traffic to flow around a stopped bus and turn right onto Sunkist Street
and may improve access to the 57 Freeway south. He added this project was
anticipated to begin construction in fall 2015 with completion in spring 2015 and was
expected to make significant improvements for travelers.
Little Peoples Park: Community Services staff worked with local residents and held
three recent neighborhood meetings concerning requested improvements to Little
Peoples Park. Mr. Lowe stated that public input process resulted in approved
improvements which included increased lighting, additional picnic tables, benches and
BBQs, renovation and expansion of the turf areas, installation of a low fence on the
perimeter, replacement of the gazebo, replacement of the drinking fountain, and
conversion of the two half-court basketball courts to one full-court basketball court.
Chaparral Park: Mr. Lowe reported this park had been completed in 1976 with a
children's wading area that was dismantled several years ago due to safety concerns
and his department was proposing to renovate this area along with other improvements
to the park. Staff would hold community input meetings to determine the needs and
desires of the neighbors and children in the area before moving forward.
Librarv Branches: The Library Division had some plans in the works as well and
proposed expanding and renovating the Euclid and Sunkist branches, starting with a
Phase I needs assessment. These libraries, Mr. Lowe pointed out, served low to
moderate income neighborhoods and were the oldest, smallest and least updated
branches for their service areas. Depending on the needs assessment findings, the
scope of the renovation could include either expanding the library's footprints or re-
afigning service functions to inciude a designated story time space, teen area, and quiet
space for adults. There was also a need to update or replace the ofd and inefficient
building systems (i.e., utilities, fire protection/alarms, electrical power, (ighting, HVAC
and pfumbing) and interior and exterior spaces would be reconfigured to allow for more
flexible space and rooms for different community and staff needs. To outFit a library for
the next 20 years of service to the public, Mr. Lowe stressed that new infrastructure,
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 10 of 29
materials, service desks, carpets, shelving systems and durable furniture would be
needed as well.
Anaheim Coves Mr. Lowe announced this area was planned to extend north to Lincoln
through a partnership with property owners that include Orange County Water District,
Orange County Flood Control District and Southern California Edison. It had been
identified as a key opportunity in the Anaheim Outdoor Connectivity Plan and would be
included in the Bikeway Master P{an that was currently underway. The proposed
improvements included the development of native landscaped area for passive use and
a bicycle riding and hiking trail connecting Lincoln Avenue to Frontera Street mirroring
the existing Anaheim Coves project. He added the improvements would be contingent
on community input and the property owners and neighbor's approval.
SUMMARY Debbie Moreno ended the workshop presentations reemphasizing that the
city's primary revenue sources had substantially recovered from the recession and base
revenues in the GF exceeded the base expenditures in the proposed budget, leaving a
$3.5 million surplus for which additional ongoing service enhancements directly
benefiting the community would be recommended. In addition, due to the successful
performance of revenues, there was a surplus in which staff was able to recommend
one-time service enhancements. She noted that on another positive note, since
completing the proposed budget, staff continued to monitor year-end projections and
revised estimates coming in for two of the three big revenues sources would result in an
, additional net increase of $250,000. Ms. Moreno stated staff therefore recommended
increased funding for one-time service enhancements to increase training for new
firefighters and this one-time $250,000 increase would provide enough funding to train
15 new firefighters, an increase of five over the original ten proposed.
Responding to the Mayor Pro Tem Murray's question whether the budget factored in
revenue impacts associated with the possibility of not moving forward with the
Convention Center expansion, Ms. Moreno replied those impacts had not been identified
as the project was moving forward, adding that the impact of any possible loss of
revenues could not take effect until year 2017. Mayor Pro Tem Murray thanked staff for
the careful thought that had gone into developing this budget and the significant
investment being made in the community.
To highlight this investment, she requested staff mail out details to residents about the
many capital improvement plans or enhanced services, giving them an overview of what
was coming, grand opening details and background information on the planning and
focus that went into each of these projects. She also requested that the map of planned
capital improvements provided to Council be enhanced at a larger scale and posted in
libraries and city hall lobby for visitors and residents to see what was on the horizon in
terms of parks, libraries, road improvements and the like. Council Member Kring
thanked staff for their holistic approach to improvements and was appreciative of the two
dog parks proposed, requesting additional sites be considered for the next fiscal year.
She also requested paramedic training be increased in this budget with Mr. Emery
responding as the Fire Chief updated strategic planning efforts for his department, staff
would look at opportunities available for additional paramedic training during the fall of
this year. Council Member Eastman complimented staff on the budget format and the

had been patched year after year. Council Member Brandman added his appreciation of
staff for the comprehensive budget presented.
Mayor Tait questioned general fund line items of $.4 million and $64 million shown in
the Convention Center budget with Ms. Moreno responding that the $400,000 was
strictfy for promotional events that the Convention Center supported, i.e., the half
marathon and the Men's and Women's volleyball. The other amount included the
Enterprise Fund where the bulk of the expenses reflected the Convention Center,
Stadium and Grove operations, adding that the Convention Center supported all of its
operations excluding the debt service and major expansion projects. She indicated the
debt service for the Convention Center was $14.5 million each year for expansions
made, in previous years, and that was shown as a transfer out, a method used for 20+
years to show the Convention Center debt service. She reiterated that the $14.5 million
was a non-operating cost and while the Convention Center revenues did not cover that
figure, it did manage the day-to-day operations of the buildings. Mayor Tait inquired if
the new expansion would add another roughly $15 milfion in debt with Ms. Moreno
replying there would be no additional debt to the generat fund, it would pay the same
level of debt service that was paid today as the existing mortgage would get paid off and
it would be replaced with the new debt going forward. Mayor Tait stated he would like to
see those numbers, incfuding the debt service and operations and how those figures
were covered by increased TOT taxes. He added this thanks and appreciation to staff
for the budget as well.
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON FISCAL YEAR 2014l15 BUDGET:
Cynthia Ward, resident, presented a number of questions regarding the proposed budget:
1) What was the amount of revenues generated by the Resort and what was the breakdown of
that figure for the Convention Center; 2) Why wasn't the potential loss of revenues factored in if
the Convention Center expansion did not go forward; 3) In the interests of transparency what
were the details that made up professional services line items. She also objected to the budget
presented by function rather than by department, stating it put the public at a disadvantage in
trying to understand department related costs; 4) There were pages where the salary hike
reflected six percent but the burden was shown as 24 percent and was a hidden cost that
should be explained; 5) Why did equipment rentals go from $13,360 to $62,788 in one year
with no explanation; 6) Was the line item regarding lease payment for an auto center in
Economic Development a subsidy for auto dealers; 7) Where were bond obligations, pension
obligations, and unfunded liabilities to be found, with Ms. Ward adding there should be a
workshop for the community on what those future escalating pension costs would be; and 8)
how could $2.5 million in retail revenues be projected for ARTIC when retail options had not yet
been determined and what would happen if that did not occur as planned?
Mayor Tait suggested staff respond to the speaker's budget questions with Ms. Moreno
indicating she would research the answers and provide them later in the evening.
With no further public comment, at 3:11 P.M., Mayor Tait continued the budget public hearing to
5:00 P.M. and adjourned the regular adjourned meeting of June 10' calling to order the June
17, 2014 regular meeting.

A gentleman from the Anaheim Hills Community Council thanked council for this recognition,
remarking if it had not been for Anaheim's support of the July 4th celebration for the last 26
years as well as the community volunteers who helped plan the event, the annual celebration
would not have happened. He outfined the various events taking place on that day culminating
in the fireworks display at Pearson Park Amphitheatre.
Nahla Kayali accepted the recognition for World Refugee Day, remarking that Anaheim had the
highest concentration of refugees arriving in the United States and this event offered an
opportunity to cefebrate their successes in America.
At 5:28 P.M., Mayor Tait called to order the Anaheim Housing Authority (in a joint public
comment session with the Anaheim City Council).
ADDITIONSIDELETIONS TO THE AGENDAS: None
PUBLIC COMMENTS (all agenda items, except public hearing):
Daniel DeMeyere offered photos and specific details on the Brookhurst Street widening project
and how it impacted him and his neighbors. His complaints addressed wheel chair access, bus
stop relocation, blind right turns and other safety issues. Mayor Tait requested the city manager
look into the area between the fence and the back yards of the neighborhood as to whether or
not a fence was needed.
Carol Ploughman, resident, expressed concern that her home was under constant surveillance
for the past 17 years, respecifulfy requesting the city's assistance. Mayor Tait referred this
resident to Police Chief Quezada.
John Dunton congratulated the Police Department on its Cops 4 Kids program, which recently
graduated over 400 youths, remarking it was a model for other municipal programs to follow.
Kim reported a sewer backup in his home was caused from the city parkway tree, requesting
reimbursement from the city of Anaheim. Mayor Tait referred this resident to the City Manager's
office.
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014

Jasmine West spoke of her plight as a stalker victim and the city's inability to investigate or file
charges against the person.
Kurt Bruhner commented on road construction and the city's criteria for selection of contractors,
specifically referring to the Brookhurst Street widening project. He remarked little progress had
occurred near his neighborhood and that it took him 25 minutes to travel less than a mile on
Brookhurst.
Before continuing with public comments, Mayor Tait remarked an earlier speaker had
complained about the fanguage used at last week's meeting by William Fitzgerald; therefore the
Mayor queried the City Attorney on what recourse Council had during the conduct of city
business. Mr. Houston responded that based on court decisions, public speakers had broad
leeway with the type of language used and barring an actual disruption, not by the audience but
by the speaker making it difficult to proceed with the meeting, that speech was afforded first
amendment protection. In the interests of civility, Mayor Tait requested Mr. Fitzgerald comply
with the city's decorum policy.
William Fitzgerald, Anaheim HOME, offered his opinions on recent City Council actions, alleging
a variety of wrong-doings against the Mayor and City Council and local businesses and
agencies.
Cecil Jordan Corcoran, Outreach Homeless Ministries, read a passage from the scriptures.
Larry Slagle urged the city to keep Angels Baseball negotiations on the front burner, adding
major league baseball created employment and economic opportunities and offered name
recognition and exposure that was only afforded 29 other cities nationwide. Regarding the
Convention Center expansion, he remarked as a fong time board member, he recognized the
strong industry support for expanding that facility which allowed Anaheim to attract and retain
major conventions to Anaheim, where attendees spent money and generated TOT into the city
treasury.
Chris Snyder, Catch Restaurant, urged Council to act in good faith and represent the city of
Anaheim well in its negotiations with Angels Baseball. He added for over 20 years, he
personally benefitted in having the Angels in Anaheim and the Catch Restaurant employed over
100 people with one quarter of the business derived from the presence of the team. He added
the jobs created internally in the stadium and externally in hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and
ancillary businesses surrounding the stadium should be considered as part of the negotiations
and that the dolfars generated for the general fund far outweigh any personal ideologies.
Tony Bruno, Keep the Angels Task Force, announced his organization represented many of the
businesses and residents in Anaheim, asking for a show of hands from those in the audience.
He offered the following statistics: Angels employed almost 1,900 people in Anaheim,
producing $60 million in wages per year; almost 600 other jobs were indirectly supported with
over $30 million a year in local wages; the Angels bring $204 million in economic activity annual
and each year the general fund receives $4.7 million by having them here; and they were
responsible community partners donating millions of dollars each year to nonprofits helping
many of the kids and famifies in Anaheim. He urged Council to get back to the deal and step up
efforts at keeping the Angels in Anaheim.
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 15 of 29
An unidentified individual spoke to Item No. 35, objecting to a 40 percent sales tax rebate for
auto dealers locating in Anaheim as a personal philosophy and because auto dealers were
doing well and not in need of taxpayer's support.
Donna Acevedo spoke in opposition to Item No. 35 on the agenda, emphasizing that sales tax
rebates for businesses that were going to expand anyway did not justify the sales tax loss to the
public and the jobs created by auto dealers would be at lesser wages and not the types of jobs
that the city should be trying to attract to Anaheim.
Ross McKeun, Caisteal Builders, expressed concern over the lack of activity with Angels
Baseball negotiations. He remarked on behalf of thousands of employees supported by the
Angels, the Anaheim Chamber Board of Directors and dozens of business leaders in the city, he
asked Council to continue negotiations and put together a credible team capable of
understanding the deal points that would work for both the city and the team.
Cynthia Ward, resident, was critical of baseball negotiations, including the framework for
discussion approved last September, the way the process was being conducted, how and if
regular maintenance was being performed on the stadium and the fact the Chamber of
Commerce was turning up the heat on a deal that Council said was not a real deal, but a
framework for discussions.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS: Mayor Pro Murray spoke of the fiscal year 2014-15 budget
presentations and specifically those investments being made in the community. She urged
interested persons to visit Anaheim's website for details.
CITY MANAGER'S UPDATE: Paul Emery, Interim City Manager, announced the City of
Anaheim was awarded $491,000 from the Strategic Growth Council to establish the Beach
Boulevard Specific Plan, with an emphasis on the Beach Boulevard corridor. Community
engagement process was critica� to the success of this planning effort and he announced the
first public input session was scheduled for June 28 at Haskett Library.
At 6:15, Mayor Tait recessed the Council meeting for consideration of the Anaheim Housing
Authority agenda, reconvening council session at 6:16 P.M.

7115.1 amount not to exceed $127,585, for professional services of public art procurement
related to ARTIC and authorize the Public Works Director to take the necessary actions
to implement the agreement.
At 6:22 P.M., Natalie Meeks, Public Works Director, announced this item would amend an
existing contract for the ARTIC art program with Mikyoung Kim Design. She explained that last
year a workshop had been held regarding the art display for the ARTIC facility and that one of
the main components was a world class art piece proposed in 2012 through a design
competition won by Mikyoung Kim and that a contract for $98,000 was issued for development
of the concept. Earlier this year at Council's direction, staff moved forward with the art program
and had been working with this designer to determine the final cost and establish a final
agreement, however, the artist felt she needed to create a mock-up prior to issuing a final cost
estimate and requested an additional $22,000 and miscellaneous additions which wou�d bring
the contract to $127,585. This would allow her to fully develop the art concept prior to the final
cost estimate which should be before Council for their consideration in July.
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014

Mayor Tait appreciated the efForts of the Arts Council in developing an art piece that would be
an integral part of the facility and that this mock-up would ensure Anaheim would have their
vision fulfilled.
Council Member Brandman moved to approve Item No. 17, seconded by Council Member
Eastman. Roll Call Vote: AYES — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Brandman, Eastman,
Kring and Murray.) NOES — 0. Motion Carried.
D116 35. RESOLUTION NO. 2014-104 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM establishing an Automobile Dealership Economic Assistance
Program and determining said action is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act pursuant to CEQA guidelines sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) and not a
project under section 15378
Interim Assistant City Manager Kristine Ridge introduced this item, announcing it was for an
economic assistance program targeted for automobile dealerships. She explained new car
sales industry had historicalfy been a significant contributor to sales tax revenues for cities and
were one of the top sales generators for the general fund. She indicated that before 2009,
Anaheim received sales tax from auto dealers in excess of $5 million annually, which dropped to
$2.8 million in 2009 due to the recession, a reduction of 49 percent from the peak year of 2005
and in addition, during that recession, seven deaierships closed in Anaheim. Ms. Ridge
remarked while modest recovery occurred over the last four years and the sales tax revenue
generated by the current 15 auto dealers was nearing $5 million, it still had not returned to pre-
recessionary levels. Council Member Brandman, at the May 13 Council meeting, requested
staff develop an economic assistance program specifically for automobile dealerships to
increase sales tax dollars to the general fund along with encouraging job retention and creating
new jobs. She added an ancillary benefit of such a program would increase economic
competitiveness in the industry and encourage property upgrades and improvements in the
commercial and industrial areas of Anaheim. Comparing other nearby jurisdictions, Ms. Ridge
indicated that such economic assistance programs had been successful in increasing sales tax
revenues in the cities of Orange and Newport Beach.
Ms. Ridge explained the details of the economic assistance program; i.e. any qualified auto
dealership could enter into a participation agreement for economic assistance for the sole
purpose of recovering or offsetting the costs incurred by that dealer to either expand an existing
business or open a new one. She further explained the city's assistance would be equal to 40
percent of the sales tax increment generated from the project and would not exceed a period of
10 years and that monetary assistance would only be provided to the extent that incremental
safes tax was generated by the dealership and subject to the provisions and restrictions outlined
in the resolution. The qualified dealership would also need to apply for the program and give
the city the required information to evaluate the applicant, the project, its proposed cost and
public benefits. The City Council would then hold a dual-noticed public hearing on any
recommended participation agreement and have the sole authority to approve or deny it.
Director John Woodhead explained other economic assistance programs that had been offered
in the past. In the 1980's, he indicated the city owned property in the Honda Center area, and
made the determination to assist in developing an auto mall and to do so by selling off a
number of parcels to auto dealers. The property had been appraised at about $14/square foot
and the analysis performed at that time was for the dealers to pay $7 per square foot, so the
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 21 of 29
deals were structured such that they paid $14 per square foot and the city made up the gap
between what they could afford to pay and what they actually paid by giving to them over time
an amount equivalent to 50 percent of the sales tax and that time period was limited to ten
years. He added a number of assistance deals were done in that manner, none of which were
currently in existence as they either burned out, expired or terminated. Council Member Kring
inquired how successful that program had been with Mr. Woodhead replying that at the time, the
city was able to get a number of auto dealers to open, however during the first economic
downturn, many were forced to close. He noted there had been some rebounding but overall in
terms of getting an auto mall established; he felt the program was successful.
To the question of whether Orange and Newport Beach's programs were similar, Mr. Woodhead
indicated Newport Beach had a longer history of assistance and in 1995 gave a free eight-acre
parcel to Fletcher Jones for a Mercedes Benz dealership anticipated to generate $2 mil(ion over
five years and actually generated $6.6 million. In 2004, they entered into a tax-sharing revenue
program with Dave Wilson to bring a Lexus dealership to Newport Beach and were now splitting
50 percent of the sales tax increment for a 20 year period. The city of Orange, he added,
recently adopted a program last April and since that time, two different deals were struck, one
was to establish a new Volkswagen dealership in city limits at 33 percent of the tax increment
for 20 years and the second was the expansion of their Stadium Nissan, 33 percent of the tax
increment for ten years.
Mayor Tait recalled there was a state law that cities could not give a rebate on state sales tax
and could not charge some people less than others. Ms. Ridge responded there were
restrictions on, pledging sales tax dollars and on incentivizing other businesses from moving
from jurisdictions in the same focal market. The City Attorney added this particular resolution
was structured with tax-sharing arrangements, in which it used tax revenue as a basis to
calculate the payment on an annual or quarterly basis or an amount equal to that, however
there was no sharing of tax revenue; it was just a way of �alculating a number to incentivize
business. This resofution also would prohibit the city from poaching an existing company from
one jurisdiction to another. Mayor Tait remarked he was troubled by this deal and that state law
did not allow municipalities to share taxes for good reasons and this plan would go against the
intent of the law. He then asked why this was being considered in the first place as the
economic recovery seemed to be strong. Mr. Ridge remarked that before the recession, the city
averaged well over $5 million, and after the recession it plummeted down to $2.8 million in 2009
and in 2013, revenues were approaching $4.9 million and had not reached the peak in four
years of recovery and with seven less dealerships in the city. Mayor Tait remarked he was
concerned about fairness and for those dealers who did not have the land to expand, which
would give some a competitive advantage and could result in loss of revenues instead. Council
Member Eastman emphasized this would apply to new revenues only, and would not take away
the current $4.9 million in revenues being received, and she pointed out, it would be a payback
only until the money they spent was recovered. Ms. Ridge stated the program was equal to 40
percent of tax increment so for a dealership that was expanding, their sales tax base they were
currently generating for the general fund plus a growth factor would not be considered in this
assistance program; it was just for the sales tax increment. She added the growth factor was
included to ensure the normal growth of the base would not be used in the calculation. As to
the time restriction of ten years or less, she stated, if a dealer was reimbursed for their costs
prior to the ten years, the program would terminate. Ms. Ridge pointed out that the businesses
would be increasing property tax and generating jobs as well.
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 22 of 29
Council Member Kring inquired about the process with Ms. Ridge responding that any time
municipalities were offering assistance above $100,000, there had to be a public hearing, so the
process would be in place in the Community Development Department, an agreement would be
generated, staff would evaluate and calculate their tax base and the growth factor on that base
to project what the anticipated tax increment would be, and no economic assistance wouid be
received until the city confirmed receipt of that level of dollars from the State Board of
Equafization. This information would be considered by Council in a public hearing with all of
those calculations made publicly available. Mayor Pro Tem Murray emphasized Anaheim
competed for these types of tax generating enterprises and that the strength of the business
community and vitality of this economy was because business interests were diversified and this
program would generate property and sales taxes in new dollars. She added that the state
already took about every source of revenue available to cities except that small portion of sales
tax and it was incumbent on the Council to be creative and work with the business community to
incentivize new development. Mayor Tait disagreed stating with this program in place, the city
did not receive 100 percent of the sales tax generated, it would just get a portion and there was
no discussion that this could happen without an incentive. Council Member Eastman
emphasized she philosophically disagreed with that stance and that attracting new business to
an area that was vacant with no foreseeable future, was a business plan she could support.
Council Member Brandman remarked his purpose in bringing this forward was because
neighboring cities, in competition with Anaheim, used incentive programs to attract new
businesses and two auto dealerships had just opened in the city of Orange. This plan would put
Anaheim on a level playing field and he expressed surprise at the opposition to this program.
Mayor Tait shared the details of Fry's Efectronics and an incentive deal the city gave of about $5
million, half of their future sales tax increment with the resulting impact that all the small
electronic businesses in Anaheim closed because they were unable to compete with Fry's.
Council Member Kring added that she would be supportive of this program as well because it
would generate more revenues which could go to core services of police and fire and the
consequences of the convention center expansion litigation.
Council Member Brandman moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2014-104 A RESOLUTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM estabfishing an Automobile Dealership
Economic Assistance Program and determining said action is exempt from the California

THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, expressing support for legislation to allow local
government agencies to restrict or prohibit access by registered sex offenders to local
government agency parks and recreational facilities and authorizing sponsorship of such
legislation.
Michael Houston, City Attorney, reported at the last meeting Mayor Pro Tem Murray requested
staff return with a resolution authorizing support for introduction of state legislation to overturn
the recent rulings related to banning sex offenders in public parks. He noted this resolution
accomplished that task and directed Council to officially sponsor such legislation and in addition,
direct staff to offer assistance to state legislators in the process of preparing such legislation by
offering our expertise and information on the matter.

Mayor Pro Tem Murray remarked she had discussed this with Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-
Silva and the District Attorney's office on how to structure legislation and she would move
forward as the bill authority, with the city's approval tonight, to proceed with legislation to allow
local government the opportunity to create safe zones for children in city parks. She added the
State legislature did have the authority to defer local government an opportunity to act on this
issue and allow for the ordinance to move forward and it would not mandate cities take this
action, just give them the opportunity and the legal authority to proceed.
Mayor Pro Tem moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2014-103 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

D182 37. RESOLUTION NO. 2014-105 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM supporting the Bay Delta Conservation Plan for reliable water
supplies and environmental restoration.
Dukku Lee, General Manager, Public Utilities Department, remarked California was currently
experiencing a multi-year drought and although its effects had been tempered because of
investments in regional storage, long term water supplies should be addressed to ensure
residents and businesses continued to have a reliable water source. He explained this
resolution would support the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, a multi-year, multi-agency plan to fix
the Sacramento/San Joaquin Bay Delta to improve water supplies and the surrounding
environment. He added the Delta was the hub of California's water supply, providing water for
67 percent of all Californians and most of the agricultural lands in the San Joaquin valley but
that it had been in decline for decades and water supplies were threatened. He indicated this
was a comprehensive long-term plan to achieve water supply reliability and eco-system
restoration using a tunnel conveyance system that isolated and protected drinking water
supplies and helped restore natural flow patterns in the Delta, phased in over a ten year
construction period in order to minimize impacts. This alternative, he added, would also
incorporate complementary habitat restoration projects as well. If no action was taken, the Delta
ecosystem and its associated water supply reliability would continue to decline ultimately
resulting in the permanent loss of up to 30 percent of the southland's imported water supply
which could contribute to restrictions such as rationing or mandatory conservation. Mr. Lee
remarked because Anaheim received 30 percent of its supplies from imported water, it was
important to support initiatives such as this that would have a long lasting impact for future
generations.
Mayor Pro Tem Murray moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2014-105 OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM supporting the Bay Delta Conservation Plan for reliable water supplies and
environmental restoration, seconded by Council Member Eastman. Roll Call Vote: AYES — 5:

D124 38. Discussion of ongoing negotiations with Angels Baseball and Pacific Caast Investors
regarding Angel Stadium of Anaheim and the Stadium Site.
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 24 of 29
Mr. Emery remarked staff had no updates to report at this time.
Mayor Tait inquired about the status of the replacement value appraisal. Mr. Tom Morton
remarked a draft report had been received and the final report would be avaifable soon. Mayor
Tait requested that a decision on whether or not the report would be made public be agendized.
To address some of the earlier speaker's comments about good faith negotiations, Mayor Tait
remarked he wanted the Angels team to remain in Anaheim and the rest of the Council felt the
same way. The most important task was to make sure an agreement was reached on one of
the largest parceis of land the City owned and that it made sense to the taxpayers. Council
Member Eastman remarked accusations had been made that Angels Baseball did not live up to
the terms of their lease regarding maintenance of the stadium and that no building permits had
been pulled during the year. Mr. Morton responded that he could not speak to whether or not a
permit had been pulled, but he did track capital spending by the Angels on the stadium and they
spent well in excess of the city's contribution annually, an amount that varied year by year
depending on needs. Mayor Pro Tem Murray asked staff to relay Council's support to move
forward and to have some progress in negotiations in the near future.

PUBLIC HEARING:
D106 40. Continued public hearing on the fiscal year 2014/15 budget, budget appropriations limits
D128 for the City and its Community Facilities Districts, and changes in various fee schedufes.
At 7:18 P.M. Mayor Tait stated he had a potential conflict of interest on the resolution adopting
Community Facilities District No. 1989-2 (The Highlands) as he lived in that area and would
record an abstention on that particular resolution only.
Finance Director Debbie Moreno briefly recapped the FY 2014/15 budget, reporting it totaled
$1.6 billion and included an investment of over $316 million in Anaheim's communities with new
and improved parks and community centers, continuing street and transportation improvements
and utility system upgrades. The proposed budget represented an increase of three percent
over last year's adopted budget and significant changes included a 45 percent decrease in
capital projects funds due to the timing of expenditures for the ARTIC project and an 18 percent
increase in Enterprise Funds due to the convention center expansion project. Overall, she
remarked, now that the city's primary revenue sources substantially recovered from the
recession, those revenues totaled $263.4 million and exceeded basic expenditures of $259.9
million, with a proposed surplus of $3.5 million for which staff was recommending additional
service enhancements to directly benefit the community.
She stated the proposed enhancements were divided into ongoing services and one time
projects or improvements; 1} Based on a five year plan, staff recommended $2.9 milfion in
pubfic safety and neighborhood service enhancements of an ongoing nature which included
staffing increases for police, fire, community services, planning and city attorney that would
directly benefit citizens with an improved response, program enhancements and neighborhood
support; 2) $3 million in one-time projects and purchases to benefit those neighborhood
services and public safety; 3) a revision to the year-end projections with a net increase of
$250,000 recommended for one-time service enhancement to train five more firefighters than
originally proposed for a total of 15; 4) a reduction of $75,000 in the Beach Boulevard Specific
plan resulting from the receipt of a grant to partially fund the project occurred , therefore staff
was recommending that amount be redirected to the park refresh project.
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 26 of 29
Ms. Moreno announced that in addition to the city budget, there were the annual appropriation
limits for FY 2014/15 for the city and each of its five community facilities districts, required by the
California state constitution based upon the appropriations limits for the prior fiscal year
adjusted for the growth factors, the city population and California per capita personal income
growth. She added the expenditures in the proposed budget continued to be substantially
below the expenditure limits established by the state constitution. Along with those items were
resolutions adopting: 1) increased rates for parking facility equipment and facility rental rates
proposed by the Convention, Sports and Entertainment Department consistent with other
comparable facilities; 2) the Community Services Department proposed $1 increase for green
fees at Dad Miller Golf Course and a$2 increase per green fees at Anaheim Hills Golf Course;
3) Recreation proposal for an increase for adult soccer program which allowed the city to fully
recover revenues lost when games are forfeited as well as fees proposed to allow for the
purchase of additional T-Shirts and jerseys for adults sports league; and 4) Public Works
proposed increase in impact fees according to engineering new record construction cost index
or CCI of 4.5 percent.
Ms. Moreno took this opportunity to respond to questions asked earlier specific to the budget:
1) Why was there no accounting for a reduction in revenues, should the Convention Center
expansion not go forward? Ms. Moreno responded because the Convention Center
expansion was not part of the proposed budget, a potential loss in revenues was not
addressed. She added there had been two presentations on the Convention Center
expansion, one in July and one in March, and all materials and studies were available for
the public to review on the city's website.
2) A comment was made on Resort revenues emphasizing the city was not able to quantify
those revenues by the Resort area, in reference to an email Ms. Moreno had sent stating
revenues were not tracked by geographic area. Ms. Moreno responded that email was
from several years ago and since that time staff did quantify revenues in the Resort. Her
estimate showed that the Resort revenues from taxes by geographic areas and
identifying the estimated cost for the associated services and all the debt service in the
Resort, that the Resort paid for all its costs and then contributed an additional twenty
percent to the general fund budget and was a net contributor to that fund.
3) There was a question about some equipment rental going from 13,000 to $62,000 with
Ms. Moreno stating that was in the Library division and in FY 2013, they only spent
$12,000 and underspent their budget but they still budgeted $62,000 for 2014.
4) There was a question about some economic development lease payments with Ms.
Moreno pointing out those were lease revenues the city received, about $110,000 each
year and related back to the auto center. She noted there was one remaining piece of
land owned by the city and that dealership paid Anaheim $110,000 annually and woufd
continue that payment until year 2022.
5) There was a question about the availability of the city's debt and funded pension
obligations, which was not part of the budget process but was available in the City's
audited financial statements posted on line referred to as the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report or CAFR. She added there were 14 years of CAFRs availabfe on the
city's website. Mayor Tait inquired what that obligation was for this year, with Ms.
Moreno responding she would get that information for him. She added the last update
was through 2012 and 2013 would be received in October or November of this year and
that the unfunded liability for 2012 was about $600 million on a market value basis (on
City Council Minutes of June 17, 2014
Page 27 of 29
an actuarial value basis it reflected about $350 million). Mayor Tait asked what the
general fund paid to PERS each year with Ms. Moreno remarking it was roughly $34
million and that non-general fund payments were roughly another $30 milfion.
6) The question related to the percentage of TOT generated by the Convention Center.
Ms. Moreno responded she woutd estimate it to be roughly 30 percent. The current year
TOT budget reflected $113 million and the Convention Center generated about $34
million of that, almost 750,000 room nights and reflected TOT only and not sales tax
which was approaching $3 million. Mayor Tait questioned the room night figure, stating
he had believed it to be 400,000 room nights, with Ms. Moreno responding she would
research that further and respond.
Mayor Pro Tem Murray thanked staff for their extraordinary efforts with this budget, making
sure Council priorities were a critical component of the document and that the community at
large was involved. She highlighted the investments being made in the older areas of the
city and requested the map that showed where resources were being invested citywide be
replaced at city hall and in libraries and to make sure residents know when and what
services were coming to their neighborhoods. Each of the councilmembers congratulated
staff on developing a budget that reinvested so much in the community and put pubfic safety
as a priority.
Mayor Tait opened the public hearing for comments and receiving none, closed the hearing.
Mayor Pro Tem Murray moved to approve the fiscal year 2014/15 budget, budget
appropriations limits for the City and its Community Facilities Districts, changes in various
fee schedules and the supplementals as presented. Mayor Tait indicated he would abstain
on the resolution refated to Community Facilities District No. 1989-2 as he lived in that
