2. Receive and file status report regarding the environmental review process associated
0159 with the Anaheim Sustainability Center project proposed at 1300-1322 North Lakeview
Avenue.
David Belmer, Planning Director, explained this item was to receive and file an update on the
sustainability project to include an overview of the project, location, and its current status. Mr.
Belmer continued that at the previous meeting Council inquired about the potential for an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in lieu of the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the legalities of
which did not need discussing as the project applicant voluntarily agreed to perform a site-
specific EIR to include a more detailed analysis for assessing potential impacts associated with
the project. He explained that decision was made before the August 22 Planning Commission
workshop so that information was shared with the public, along with information about the
process and opportunities for public participation. Mr. Belmer advised the schedule for the
City Council Minutes of August 30,2016
Page 12 of 20
project has been delayed as the EIR process would be longer and Planning Commission
hearings to consider the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) would be months away.
Council Member Vanderbilt questioned the perimeter boundary for mailed notices, with Mr.
Belmer explaining the law provided for 300 feet, however city staff sent many notices out as far
as 2500 feet and a new website had been launched to share information about the project.
Mayor Tait appreciated the slowing of the process and requested more information be placed on
the agenda to better describe the project to the public as a food waste-to-energy or digester
project.
In response to Council Member Murray, Planning Manager Jonathan Borrego explained the
project first came to the City's attention 1 Y2—2 years ago in conceptual form and that other
sites within the Canyon Business District were also considered as potential locations due to the
availability of property, a connection to the power grid, and proximity to the Republic Recycling
Facility, which would provide the food waste. He provided the City was not legally obligated to
have one of these facilities but was required to recycle a portion of their food waste. Council
Member Murray requested information about the size of a potential facility being available on a
go-forward basis and requested regular updates be provided by email to a distribution list,
facilitated by 311 sign-ups.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Kring, Mr. Belmer replied that there were no known digesters in
Anaheim. He stated a local example was in Los Angeles County, which is operated by a grocery
distribution facility. Mayor Pro Tern Kring requested the City Attorney address campaign
contributions received to which Ms. Pelletier responded that such contributions were not
sufficient to disqualify a member from participating in a decision.
MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to approve Item No. 2, seconded by Council Member Brandman.
Approved vote: 5-0. Motion carried.
0180 9. Accept the bid from Daktronics, Inc., in the amount of$149,232 plus applicable tax, to
replace the two scoreboards in the Anaheim Convention Center arena and authorize the
Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order, in accordance with Bid #8727.
Tom Morton, Convention/Sports/Entertainment Director, confirmed the scoreboard had been
replaced about 10 years ago but had subsequently exhausted its useful life, the software had
stopped working, and no updates were available as the technology had passed. John Vasquez,
Acting Purchasing Agent, explained the bid had included two options: an enhanced scoreboard
with digital monitor and a standard scoreboard, with Convention Center opting for the latter due
to pricing and user needs for the arena. In regards to receiving only one bid, he explained that
Daktronics was the primary vendor in the market and were historically the only bidders for
scoreboards, marquees, etc. He advised, despite attempts by the Purchasing Division to obtain
additional bids, the submitted bid pricing appeared fair and reasonable.
MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to approve Item No. 9, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Kring.
Approved vote: 5-0. Motion carried.
17. Approve the Addendum to the Amended and Restated Agreement with the
AGR 3935.1.0.2 Anaheim/Orange County Visitor& Convention Bureau, dba Visit Anaheim, to retain
Anaheim's designation as the Official Host City of the USA Men's and Women's National
Volleyball Teams, and authorize the Executive Director of the Convention, Sports &
City Council Minutes of August 30, 2016
Page 13 of 20
Entertainment Department to execute the addendum and any other related documents,
including all actions necessary to implement and administer the addendum.
Greg Garcia, Deputy City Manager, explained this item sought approval of an addendum to the
amended & restated agreement with Visit Anaheim to retain Anaheim's designation as the
official host city of the USA Men's and Women's National Volleyball Teams (USAV) . He
continued that Visit Anaheim had recently created a new division, Sports Anaheim, to solicit,
promote, and enhance sporting activity. As the second-largest sports market in the country,
Anaheim was a center for professional, collegiate, amateur and youth sports reporting recent
successes with Anaheim hosting the new home of Amateur Athletic Union's (AAU) west coast
headquarters, the 2017 gymnastics championships, and serving as a future site for the 2020
and 2027 NCAA conventions. Mr. Garcia reported USAV approached the city to continue its
partnership with Anaheim as the current agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31,
2016. Both parties view the extension as an opportunity to maximize the impact of USAV in
Anaheim with Sports Anaheim taking the lead. The opportunity to contract with USAV would
give Sports Anaheim another base partner to join AAU improving the ability to attract other
governing bodies such as USA Water Polo, USA Badminton and other Olympic entities to
Anaheim. The community has benefitted by being nationally and internationally known as the
premier destination for volleyball athletes, USAV partnering with the Boys and Girls Club to
mentor youth and through the Starlings program, for lower-income junior high school girls where
they receive mentoring advice about life and academics while learning volleyball skills.
Tom Morton, Convention/Sports/Entertainment Director, explained this addendum would
continue the goals and benefits of Anaheim as a world-class sports destination. He reported the
addendum would reserve specific rights for the city, including at a minimum: continued
recognition as the official host city for both the men's and women's national teams, national
team media articles, press releases, and social media as sponsor/partner of USAV, up to 20
athlete or coach appearances at civic functions annually, and the teams would continue to train
in Anaheim. New deliverables in the addendum would include: 2020 USAV Open National
Championships with 11,000 room nights, high-performance camps in Anaheim, creation of an
open youth event, continued support of the Starlings program, annual clinics for all Anaheim
boys and girls high school varsity volleyball teams, prioritized scheduling of national red/blue
scrimmages to be held in Anaheim, 2020 kick-off celebrations prior to Tokyo Olympics, and 30-
second television commercials during broadcasts of national team matches. He stated the
terms of the addendum provide Visit Anaheim will receive $325,000, annually, from the city for
four years and a 50% rental discount for volleyball events held at the Convention Center,
including the 2020 Open Championships, with all costs budgeted within the C/S/E budget with
no direct impact to the General Fund, continuing that the proposed payment would result in net
savings to the City of approximately $26,000 per year over current expenditures.
Mayor Tait requested the item be continued as the agenda did not reflect the potential
expenditure of money of approximately $1.4 million over four years. Mr. Morton explained the
funding came from revenues generated within the Convention Center, not General Fund
revenue, with debt service paid by hotel nights driven by events held at the Convention Center.
He continued this would be the tenth year of the agreement with the Men's Team moving to
Anaheim in 2006, followed by the Women's team in 2009. Mr. Garcia clarified that the only
involvement by the Anaheim Redevelopment Authority was for use of a parking lot under the
Southern California Edison easement near the American Sports Center. Mayor Tait spoke
about the needs throughout Anaheim, particularly for the youth, and offered his belief that USAV
should find and utilize private funding for volleyball rather than tax-payer dollars and moved to
City Council Minutes of August 30,2016
Page 14 of 20
continue the item to properly notice the potential spending of$1.4 million for transparency
purposes.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Kring, Mr. Garcia confirmed the expiration of the current contract
on December 31, 2016 and Mr. Morton confirmed C/S/E funding was not permanently restricted
within the enterprise fund such as the Utilities budget. Mayor Pro Tem Kring recommended a
potential one year contract to allow USAV to continue operations while seeking different funding
sources.
MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to continue Item No. 17 to September 13, 2016 to more clearly
agendize the item to include the dollar value of the contract, seconded by Council Member
Vanderbilt.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Murray questioned the timing of the item, with Mr. Garcia
indicating discussion had been occurring but put on hold due to the Summer Olympics and now
was brought forward to allow time prior to the expiration of the current contract. Council
Member Murray spoke about the commitment to the community by USAV, the international
recognition for Anaheim as the host city, USAV's use of private capital to fund its team in
additional to the City contribution, and expressed her support for continuing the partnership.
Mr. Morton reported the cost was less than that historically paid by about $26,000/year with
Mayor Pro Tern Kring indicating her support for keeping USAV in Anaheim.
MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to continue Item No. 17 to September 13, 2016 to more clearly
agendize the item to include the dollar value of the contract, seconded by Council Member
Vanderbilt Vote: 5-0. Motion carried, item continued to September 13, 2016.
34. Receive and file an update on the proposed Anaheim Rapid Connection (ARC) Fixed-
Guideway Streetcar Project and direct staff to follow the process approved by the
D175 Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for ARC on June 27, 2016, including
reviewing an amendment to the Cooperative Agreement with the OCTA to conclude the
planning efforts for the ARC Project and scheduling the amendment for City Council
consideration (potentially on September 27, 2016, pending completion of the amended
agreement).
Mayor Tait announced this item planned to operate between ARTIC, the Disney Resort and
Anaheim Convention Center, a 3-mile run at a projected cost of$300 million for which the
OCTA board recently voted to cease funding due to lack of dedicated federal funding,
insufficient ridership numbers, and worsening traffic congestion on Katella and Harbor. Mayor
Tait expressed his views that the money could be better spent on less expensive alternatives to
move people around Anaheim and moved to end the streetcar project, seconded by Council
Member Vanderbilt, for discussion purposes.
In response to Council Member Murray, City Manager Paul Emery confirmed money allocated
to complete the final components of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to avoid any
property takings on Harbor Blvd. was coming from the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District
(ATID) fund. He continued that in June 2016, the OCTA executive director was directed to work
with the City to amend the cooperative agreement to identify OCTA as the lead planning agency
and to evaluate ARC as it related to the Harbor Corridor Study and the Orange County street
car project. Council Member Murray reported the project had been thoroughly studied by the
Orange County Grand Jury and OCTA board over the last 10 years, and believed cancelling
City Council Minutes of August 30,2016
Page 15 of 20
funding at this time would not save Anaheim taxpayers anything but rather waste the money
•
spent, in terms of time and resources without a completed EIR. She thanked the Grand Jury for
its third party perspective and recommended moving forward with the private ATID funding to
complete the EIR, and designating OCTA as the planning agency to continue looking at a
countywide streetcar system.
Mayor Tait stated he wanted a clear statement from the City about whether to continue funding
this project, which he disagreed with, or ending it altogether and begin looking at more high-tech
alternatives to decrease traffic congestion.
Council Member Murray stated using ATID funds designated for transportation to complete the
EIR would provide certainty to hoteliers by eliminating takings of hotel properties along Harbor
Blvd. and that OCTA did not act to terminate the project but to continue the partnership with
Anaheim and make it part of a larger County system.
Mr. Emery explained that an amendment to the cooperative agreement with OCTA was
scheduled to come before Council at a future date, at which time Council would have the option
to approve, amend, or deny the cooperative agreement regarding the future of the project,
which will have to be done regardless of any decision made at this meeting.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring offered comments to a variety of transportation options designed to
remove people for driving cars and recommended keeping the streetcar project active with
OCTA as the lead agency to build for the future.
Council Member Vanderbilt questioned City involvement with the funds derived by ATID, with
Assistant City Manager Kristine Ridge explaining the funds came from a 2% self-assessment
dedicated for transportation and marketing purposes. Debbie Moreno, Finance Director,
explained the money was remitted to the City on behalf of the ATID, which has a board made up
of a City representative, a Visit Anaheim representative, and a representative from the largest
tax payer in the district (Disney), who determines how to allocate that money so the City has a
fiduciary responsibility to hold the money until they decide how to spend it.
Mayor Tait described his desire for Anaheim's position to terminate the street car project with
part of his reasoning based on serving on the OCTA board and trying to ensure people can
move around town with mobility and congestion relief. He believed the money could be better
spent on the bus system to help alleviate the cut routes, decreased ridership, and increased
fares which negatively impact lower-income residents and called for the question.
MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to terminate the ARC Fixed-Guideway Streetcar Project,
seconded by Council Member Vanderbilt. Vote: 2-3 (AYES: Mayor Tait and Council Member
Vanderbilt; NOES: Mayor Pro Tern Kring and Council Member Murray and Brandman). Motion
failed.
35. Discuss City Council action of July 12, 2016 as it specifically relates to the public
hearings pertaining to proposed hotels located at 1700 S. Harbor Boulevard (580-room,
D114 8-story hotel), 1401 Disneyland Drive Hotel (25-acre property), and 1030 W. Katella
Avenue (634-room, 8-story hotel), including all related actions presented and approved
by the City Council (Operating Covenant Agreements, Development Agreements, final
site plans, conditional use permits, variances and related environmental determinations),
as well as discussion of any legal procedures related to said actions, and provide
direction to staff, as necessary, as it relates to the subject properties.
City Council Minutes of August 30,2016

Mayor Tait stated he requested this item to discuss the actions taken by Council at the July 12,
2016 meeting during which he had to leave to attend a meeting in Washington, DC and was
unable to complete the discussion or vote on the items and was denied a one-week
continuance.
He reported Council had approved approximately $560 million to subsidize three hotel projects
over 20 years, one for Disney at $260 million and two for Wincome at $300 million —the
redevelopment of the Anabella Hotel and the Anaheim Plaza. Debbie Moreno, Finance Director,
responded to questions from Mayor Tait reporting money received in the General Fund from the
operation of the hotels would be paid out of the General Fund and confirmed that under the
approved agreements, 70% of remitted transient occupancy taxes (TOT) paid by visitors would
be paid back to the developers, with 20% paying off bonds that supported the infrastructure in
the Resort District for the first 16-17 years of the agreement, and 10% being retained by the City
in the General Fund. She continued there was no cap on the payments and if all three hotels
were built and operated, it was estimated that the City would receive roughly $30 million in
additional revenue with approximately $20 million remitted to the developers. Discussion and
Anaheim's financing continued, reflecting on power point slides shown at the July 12 meeting.
City Manager Paul Emery explained certain revenue sources could only be collected for the
reasonable costs of providing the service and many services cost more than the fees collected,
causing tax dollars to contribute to the provision of those services as well, with Ms. Moreno
explaining the bulk of the transferred funds came from the Electric Utility as provided in the City
Charter.
Mayor Tait expressed his concern with the numbers provided not telling the public the whole
story regarding revenue and expenditures in comparison to neighboring cities and that, in his
view, without the negative net worth of the city at $442 million considered and an unrestricted
General Fund of approximately $250 million Anaheim did not differ much from Santa Ana with
per capita spending of$714 per person. Ms. Moreno clarified the expenditure budget was $300
million, not including debt service, and the revenue sources information focused on the "Big 3"
revenues of i) TOT, ii) sales tax, and iii) property tax, of which the hotel tax was such a large
component and important because it was paid by visitors rather than residents.
Council Member Murray remarked information showed the growing TOT which did not burden
the residents of Anaheim and expressed her wish to see that portion grow to provide more
services to the residents through visitor payment of TOT rather than through increased taxes or
fees like those considered or implemented by other cities. Ms. Moreno provided historical
information that when the 1996 Resort improvements were approved, studies indicted the
Resort generated 10% of the General Fund with an anticipated additional $6 million after
improvements, making it approximately 15% of the General Fund, with the Resort today
generating above and beyond its costs 25% of the General Fund.
Council Member Murray expressed her understanding that 4-diamond hotels require a higher
level of building and steel construction allowing for more rooms than a 2-3-diamond hotel which
tend to be lower level and made of wood construction. Mayor Tait reported Mr. Chen of
Wincome indicated they would build a 3-diamond hotel with the same room count as the
proposed 4-diamond. Ms. Ridge stated tier 2, 3 diamond hotels had an average number of
rooms of 285 and the three proposed hotels under the economic assistance program estimated
the Anaheim Plaza with 580 rooms, Disney around 700 rooms, and the Anabella with 634
City Council Minutes of August 30,2016
Page 17 of 20
rooms. Discussion continued about the number of rooms, room rates, occupancy percentages,
and expected revenues between 3-diamond and 4-diamond properties.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring stated the incentive policy was necessary to assure banks their
construction loans would be paid for.
John Woodhead, Community & Economic Development Director, reported the developer
indicated they would leave the Anabella Hotel and Anaheim Plaza as-is with 3-diamond
properties if not able to develop a 4-diamond hotel under the incentive policy.
Council Member Murray reviewed her presentation from July 12th, highlighting the success of
the 1996 improvements, Anaheim's improved financial position following the recession,
increased services across the City including underground utilities, homeless shelter, and
support for schools, no franchise fees or utility users tax in Anaheim, and the payment of over
$296 million in capital investments including 57 parks, 10 community centers, seven libraries,
394 police officers, and 11 fire stations. She recommended continuing the momentum from
1996 to generate additional revenue to fund services through continuation of fiscal policies that
grow revenue from private investments rather than resident taxes.
Mayor Tait agreed that he did vote in favor of the 1996 agreement as a massive infrastructure
project for the Resort district so that hotels could be developed and assist in paying off the
bonds and provide tax dollars for neighborhoods, which he viewed as different than providing
payments to developers for private hotels at the GardenWalk and now for Disney and Wincome.
He disputed calling it a rebate because the TOT was paid by guests who would not be receiving
any of their tax money back, but the money would go to the developers which he believed was a
gift of public funds that should remain in the City budget to provide city services to residents and
to support the guests and Resort workers. Mayor Tait questioned the timing of these
agreements as the hotels would not be built until 2019.
Council Member Murray reported the hotel policy had been in place since 2001/2002 at 50%,
public input had been received over the past 15 years including on the current policy, the three
applications were submitted under the established policy, and the Wincome properties had also
been reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission.
MOTION: Council Member Murray moved to lay all portions of Item No. 35 on the table,
seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Kring. Acting City Attorney, Kristin Pelletier, explained under the
rules that this was a procedural motion that precluded debate. Council Member Murray
withdrew the motion to allow Council Member Vanderbilt an opportunity to ask questions.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Vanderbilt requested clarification on the process for the
referendum petition circulated on this item, with Ms. Pelletier explaining that if the signatures
were confirmed sufficient, the referendum would be brought before Council for consideration
regardless of any tabling action that may occur, but that the referendum would only pertain to
the development agreements, not the other actions taken on July 12th
Mayor Tait questioned whether the developers were required to show a need for the incentive.
Mr. Woodhead explained the adopted policy came after a new economic analysis to determine
the level of subsidy required to develop such hotels and the policy direction was to have a
broad-based policy that could be applied across the board rather than individually reviewed.
Mayor Tait reiterated his belief the incentives were a gift of public funds based on an opinion by
City Council Minutes of August 30,2016
Page 18 of 20
Allan Ray of Atlas Hospitality Group that the hotels would be built without an incentive. He also
questioned the Charter provision of requiring four votes to pass orders for payment of money.
Ms. Moreno explained that Anaheim had a high credit rating due to its demonstrated ability to
pay bills as they came due despite a $442 million negative unrestricted deficit and through cash
reserves of over 20%, higher than other municipalities.
Mr. Woodhead explained the Keyser Marston, an independent economist, has analyzed the
incentive numbers needed to build hotels and assisted the City in putting together the current
policy, summary reports, and cost estimates but no opinion letter that the developers needed
such money.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring stated the previous policy of 50% did not attract any developers but the
current policy found three applicants that included additional benefits to the City including
paying off bonds faster, local jobs, Helmets to Hardhats program, Project Labor Agreements
(PLA) and provided her belief that many signatures had been obtained on the referendum
petitions through inaccurate statements.
MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to suspend the rules and seek available options to rescind action
of July 12, 2016 as it relates to the subject proposed hotels, seconded by Council Member
Vanderbilt. Vote: 2-3 (AYES: Mayor Tait and Council Member Vanderbilt; NOES: Mayor Pro
Tem Kring and Council Members Murray and Brandman). Motion failed.
36. Discuss and consider rescinding City Council action of July 12, 2016 as it relates directly
D114 to public hearing item No. 26, specifically i) Purchase and Sale Agreement No.
MIS2016-00633 and ii) Parking Easement Agreement No. MIS2016-00633, both with
FJS, Inc. regarding the proposed hotel project located at 1030 W. Katella Avenue (634-
room, eight-story hotel), including any action directing staff to take necessary action to
effectively rescind said agreements.
John Woodhead, Community and Economic Development Director, explained the Purchase and
Sale Agreement was a sale by the City to FJS, Inc. of an approximately 72,000 square foot
parcel adjacent to the Convention Center to facilitate the Anabella Hotel project for fair market
value of $8.5 million, confirming the sale was necessary for the developer to move forward with
the site design.
MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to rescind the actions of July 12, 2016 as it related to public
hearing Item No. 26, specifically the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Parking Easement
Agreement, seconded by Council Member Vanderbilt. VOTE: 2-3 (AYES: Mayor Tait and
Council Member Vanderbilt; NOES: Mayor Pro Tern Kring and Council Member Murray and
