Our law enforcement is spread too thin as it is. And now, with another wave of prison releases, our officers have too much to do without keeping order at legal dispensaries. The tax money raised is never enough to cover the true and total costs of increased cannibis use in any of the communities that have allowed it. Please vote no on Agenda Item 23.

Why on earth would you, right now, under all these circumstances ask for that? I recently invested quite a large sum into a small business and we are just trying to get through this daily life. To add "hey let's open up pot shops" right now is just wrong. West Anaheim has had nothing but problems with them. They will only over populate in west Anaheim, I highly doubt they will have many open in Anaheim hills. They will never be as regulated as a pharmacy. Have you even seen the history of what west Anaheim has gone through with these pot shops opening in every corner of west Anaheim?? Who is whispering I your ear that this is a good idea, because we have been fighting it for ages. We certainly have bigger issues here, nothing has changed in west Anaheim, nothing. We have gotten worse, the transients fill all our parks, it's a mess here in west Anaheim. We are far more worried about those issues. We cannot believe that you want to bring on this too believe Jordan too? They will never be opened next to a Nordstom or gated community, it will be west Anaheim affected, and we cant even get our motels on Beach closed. How many decades has Beach been a crime infested, human trafficking, murder, drugs, prostitutes and fear ruled there? So please think of our neighborhood that has already been affected and remember right now what is really important. I personally prefer to concentrate on what is really a bigger issue right now in west Anaheim. We really need help out here. This is far from helping.

Especially in a time when you are asking for cooperation from the public to comply with the Governor's stay home orders, it would be hypocritical of the city's leaders to not follow federal law. Cannibis may be legal per the State of California, but it is a Schedule I drug under the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970. At a time when churches are shut down and most businesses are likewise shut, it is appalling that the city would even consider allowing illegal pot dispensaries to operate as "essential businesses" while so many honest, hard- working businesses owners are losing their dreams. It is a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens. In summary, I will ask the council members this one simple question: if the council members fail to follow the law, why should the citizens of this city respect your stay at home orders?

Theresa Bass From: Tracy Urueta Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2020 1:04 AM To: Council Cc: Kathy Tran; KATHY CHANCE; Amanda Edinger; Jodie Mosley (W ANA NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH) Subject: Cannabis To: Honorable Mayor and Anaheim City Council Members I would like to address my concerns regarding the consideration of legalizing cannabis dispensaries in The City of Anaheim. I will not speaking for all districts, in this matter, but would like to say that I am quite sure this would not benefit the west side of Anaheim. As you well know, we have major issues with drug addicts/homeless people who have taken up residency on our sidewalks, business doorsteps, parks, etc., and this issue does not appear to have not gotten any better for us in our side of town, since the implementation of shelters. We still have the same lingering issues in West Anaheim, for years. We, for as long as I can remember, have also continued to have another major issue of prostitution/sex trafficking all along the Beach Blvd. corridor. I don't even think I should have to state the obvious, so I will just ask you ... In what way do you think adding dispensaries in West Anaheim will make this environment any better? How will West Anaheim benefit from this? What new businesses do you think will want to partake in the revitalization of Beach Blvd., i.e. 39 Commons, with dispensaries in the area? Would you want a dispensary in your neighborhood, near your home? Would you put a dispensary near your home(s) and then explain to your neighbors how this is benefiting Anaheim, because of all the tax revenue it is generating? Maybe you would... But, I do not want those types of businesses in my neighborhood. I am pretty sure this would not improve West Anaheim at all, and I fear that other parts of the city will benefit greatly from this while West Anaheim CONTINUES to suffer even more... I am asking you to please take into consideration the people you are effecting, and how you are impacting them, when you consider your vote to legalize cannabis dispensaries in my neighborhood. We are already suffering enough. Please, consider what you will be doing and ask yourself "Would it be worth it to me if I lived in the area that will probably be the most negatively impacted?". Thank you for your thoughtful consideration regarding this matter.

I am very disgusted in just even thinking you guys want to bring or considering in bringing the legalization of the sale of cannabis in our city. First of all its a very bad idea. Many of you know where i live and next to my house i have a family that lights this shit up all the time. I can't leave my windows open because the smell is so strong that i have gotten high on just the smell. It was so bad that i had to call the police as well. Whoever is considering to legalize the sale of this in our city is absolutely insane. As a parent i can tell you that i don't want my kids or the kids in Anaheim to think its ok to do drugs. Please fix all the problems we have in our city instead. We have a lot of homeless issues all over the city plus many of them are always high on something that its not safe for the residents. Or what you guys don't give a dam of what hard working citizens think. Also please do all residents a favor put the post about this cannabis bs in spanish as well. Anaheim is not known for being a city of kindness its known for being anacrime or anaslime and thats how the rest of oc is going to continue knowing us if you legalize the sale of mariguana. The majority of you know me and know how passionate i can be in anything i put my mind to and well for the sake and safety of our kids and residents don't bring this bs into our city.

If allowed, they will negatively impact west Anaheim and our residents. We have long asked for better businesses in our area, marijuana dispensaries has never been in the list. I am confident that a significant portion of revenue generated will in turn be spent on enforcement of those that are illegally operating. West Anaheim has been plagued with bad businesses with dispensaries being one of them. I realize that the State has legalized it, but as long as it's illegal under federal law, we should not consider allowing it in Anaheim. Allowing dispensaries in Anaheim will only incentivize MORE illegal shops in our city, much like Santa Ana. I can guarantee you that a big large percentage of those dispensaries will be in West Anaheim. Please help west Anaheim improve by attracting quality businesses, not marijuana dispensaries.

The city has fought long and hard against this because the residents made it clear it was not wanted in Anaheim. There are so many negatives to allowing this type of business to be supported by our elected officials. Please put the residents and our children and grandchildren first. I read Paul Kott's letter as well as Keith Oleson's email. No one said it better than these two men. I truly believe in the medicinal uses of CBD as I have first hand knowledge of the benefits. If we could only allow that side of the business I would consider supporting it. We all know it's not that simple. Please do not support cannibis sales in Anaheim. Gloria Ma'ae Theresa Bass From: Edmond Hodel Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2020 12:40 PM To: Council Subject: Cannabis I am against the growing or dispensing of cannabis in Anaheim. 1) We already have a problem with excessive alcohol use while operating a motor vehicle. Cannabis use is more difficult to detect making it more appealing, especially to younger drivers, but the results are just as deadly. 2) The information letter you have on the Anaheim web site states that when you close down one illegal dispensary, another one opens. It is obvious that we are dealing with people who are not willing to abide by our laws. I think we used to call them "Criminals", and rightly so. If we now allow those people to open dispensaries, the probability of breaking other laws is great and has been shown to be true in many other cities nationwide. I am not against the "legal" use of cannabis or cannabis oil as prescribed by a medical Doctor. I AM against inviting more criminal activity into the city of Anaheim! Edmond L.

I do not want my child growing up seeing a shop where they can readily buy marijuana as if it is no big deal. there are other cities and also mobile services that marijuana users can use to buy product. Anaheim is a home, family oriented and community oriented city; bringing that type of business to our city brings it down. as a member of law-enforcement I see every day the effects these types of shops have on the community, youth, and surrounding businesses and homes, none of which are positive. thank you for considering my family's Position.

I have lived in the 92806 area for about 23 yrs and have watched the neighborhood slowly decline. I think Pot shops can attract some sketchy people, and make the area less desirable. I was so glad when you shut down the illegal one on Ball Rd. next to the Arco Station. That was way too close to our schools & neighborhoods. Anaheim is known as a wholesome family friendly city. Somehow Micky and Marijuana just don't seem to mix- "In my Opinion" You can't tout one thing and then do another.... I'm not against the people that smoke pot, I can't say I have never tried it- The Federal Government hasn't made it legal so.... In any case if the decision is made to allow them in the city of Anaheim please do not let them be in our neighborhoods, or on our busy streets. Allow them to be in industrial areas only, out of sight out of mind. And please have strict laws etc. I understand some persons use it for medicinal purposes, and occasional recreational use like alcohol. However that being said I personally know someone who loved to smoke pot and preached to everyone that it was harmless. Today that person is a full blown Heroine addict. Sometimes the drug culture can be very enticing to some. People are going to get their pot one way or another, I say make them drive to Santa Ana or Fullerton or where ever they have to- You will never make all the people happy. Just consider the costs, and think of our children the next Generation. Thanks for letting me share my opinion. B.

If you need/want more of an explanation here are the reasons. First, I'll say upfront that while I don't (haven't since the 80's), I'm not against anyone smoking or ingesting marijuana for recreational purposes. In addition I strongly support the legal availability of weed for medicinal purposes (to help with difficulty sleeping or to relieve the nausea caused by cancer treatments for example). I do not, however, under current conditions, want these business to operate in my city. One of the main problems is the fact that as long as they remain illegal on the federal level these businesses cannot be part of the federally insured banking system and remain an "all cash" business.. As a result you have piles of weed and stacks of cash together and that just invites major problems. Add to that the presence of armed security guards and the outcome is pretty predictable. Minimally trained (if at all) rent -a -cops with guns guarding dope and cash. Bad idea. Examples of what happens next are readily available all around us and this should, on its own, be enough to vote against allowing these businesses in Anaheim. Other problems I have stem (no pun intended) from many of the arguments being used to promote legalizing these businesses in Anaheim. They are the same arguments used to support other "businesses" that are detrimental to the quality of life in our neighborhoods. One is the ever popular "let's tax it and make tons of money" argument. I have not studied it deeply, and that should be done if it hasn't already, but everything I read suggests that the taxes imposed on legal pot shops are so high that people just go to illegal shops where they don't have to pay the taxes to buy at much lower prices. That alone is a strong argument that permitted licensed shops isn't the answer to the proliferation of illegal shops, and it also leads to another issue frequently raised—that having legitimate shops will somehow make it easier to identify and close illegal shops. That's just not reality. Add to that the idea that somehow the taxes generated will pay for the "extra" enforcement needed to deal with illegal shops and suddenly you can't help but have a deja vu moment—that these same arguments are the ones used to get fireworks legalized. And we all know how that worked out. The promise of a flood of money for non -profits. That the income generated will help offset increased enforcement to stop the use of illegal fireworks, on and on. I think we have ample evidence that those arguments were complete bullshit. The only real winner with the fireworks scam was TNT Fireworks, the company who spent $150,000 to get the ordinance passed and then got the exclusive right to sell fireworks in Anaheim. The fact that these same arguments are, with slight modifications, being used to promote the legalization of pot shops in Anaheim should raise serious questions of their validity and intentions. A small number of people will enjoy huge financial rewards at the expense, both monetarily and in terms of quality of life, of the residents and tax payers of Anaheim. Then we have the "we can make money—a whole new revenue stream for the city" argument. Increased revenue from a diverse source is a good idea. Just not from this source as long as all the other issues remain. And let's face it, just because someone can make money from it doesn't make it a good idea. What does that money cost you (us) in very real terms of not only fiscal cost, but more importantly in terms of quality of life in our neighborhoods and our city? It's illegal according to the federal government and legal according to the state of California. Until that changes legal operation of marijuana businesses bring a myriad of problems and negative impacts on our community. As with any issue our elected officials consider the basic consideration should be "when all is said and done what's best for the residents and neighborhoods of Anaheim?" To me the answer in that context is obvious and is keeping pot shops illegal in Anaheim. Want some weed? It's 10 minute drive to Santa Ana help yourself. Let them deal with all the problems. Or call and have it delivered. We give up a "revenue stream" of very questionable value and let cities who don't put residents and neighborhoods first deal with the problems and shoulder the expense of dealing with the proliferation of these businesses in their cities while Anaheim residents enjoy clean, safe neighborhoods. I urge you to vote NO on allowing cannabis related businesses in Anaheim.

I would like to point out that cannabis is not recognized by the federal government as a legal drug for any recreational use at all. So for a local municipal government to overstep its boundaries against federal law is highly illegal. Especially when drug use is regulated by the federal government and not by any state or municipal government. California's "legalization" of marijuana is illegal and against federal law. Another huge consideration is to take into account that Anaheim is the home of Disneyland where there are many small children in attendance in this city from out of state who could possibly be exposed to marijuana through second hand smoke (which is a foul and offensive smell) near attractions such as Disneyland. Do we want to ruin the image of Anaheim to outside visitors who bring a large amount of revenue to our city by visiting our theme parks and get exposed to cannabis? As far as the locals go, cannabis poses a nuisance through its offensive smells when trying to enjoy fresh air near our homes and businesses. In addition, cannabis use will contribute to more DUI violations as we all know those who are "high" will most likely drive while under the influence. This endangers our community such as other motorists and pedestrians. Hope this perspective helps. I hope you guys make the right decision in the end.

If people want wee and enough, they can drive over one city to buy it.

This means an all cash business, even to pay taxes. That's dangerous for the employees and the neighborhood for all the cash to be moving around.

Having dispensaries leads to unwanted and illegal activity. The argument that so many resources are spent on shutting down the illegal dispensaries does not hold water because there will still be illegal ones popping up all the time because they do not want to, or can't afford to, purchase what it takes to operate legally or they just don't want to deal with charging and paying taxes. They will sell it for less than a legal dispensary and Anaheim will still be using resources to shut them down. am also of the opinion that cannabis IS a gateway drug. I know that term probably dates me, but I am a firm believer in this having evidenced it in some of the kids my kids went to school with. I know it's not that way for everyone, but it is that way for too many.

I have lived in my neighborhood for over 30 years and in the last 3 1 have seen a dramatic decline in our area due to drug use. Not only do we have drug sellers working out of their homes in the area but we have had a constant battle with the marijuana dispensaries opening up nearby. The crime in our area has increased tremendously during this time not to say hearing gunshots at night.

I live behind Willow park which is one of the dirtiest parks in the city and I see the drugs being sold in the park and have had cannabis offered to me when I was walking my dogs thru the park. All of which is very offensive to me. I still do not understand why this cannot be sold and monitored thru a medical pharmacy. I also do not understand why we are not listening to government officials in areas that did make it legal and regret it, how it has affected their cities.

The state has already legalized the practice and allowing our proximity to Disneyland sway our thoughts on this subject as a city is just ridiculous. Utilizing vital resources such as police to "shut down" "illegal" dispensaries is a waste of time. As someone who uses cannabis on occasion the "illegal" storefronts will go nowhere so long as the city doesn't allow legitimate businesses to open and operate within the city limits. Think about the potential tax revenues the city would see by allowing the cannabis industry to operate legally within our borders. We have seen how our city has grown with the adoption of breweries within our city and I'm sure our tax coffers our healthier for it. Think about the possibilities of a legal cannabis industry would provide in terms of tax revenue for the city. That money could go to providing more essential services for our community, improving parks and recreation activities for the youth and senior citizens, and the money that could be saved by having our police officers go and stop real crime. In summary the city of Anaheim should absolutely legalize the operation of the cannabis industry within its borders. Thank you for your time.

I work next to a cannabis shop and it's nothing but bad news and it also attracts young kids that have no business there. Regardless of the law these young kids will get their hands on it a lot easier. Furthermore, it also makes the neighborhood stink as some of their customers don't even wait to smoke as they are leaving the place in a cloud of smoke! Lastly, these locations are sitting ducks for crime, robbery and other undesirable outcomes. As an Anaheim resident I say NO, let the other cities deal with those problems. If Anaheim is worried about losing out on tax revenue than consider the cost to our community in the long run not to mention that cannabis tax revenue projections are never as good as projected. Please keep the cannabis out of Anaheim.

If allowed, they will negatively impact west Anaheim and our residents. We have long asked for better businesses in our area, marijuana dispensaries has never been in the list. I am confident that a significant portion of revenue generated will in turn be spent on enforcement of those that are illegally operating. West Anaheim has been plagued with bad businesses with dispensaries being one of them. I realize that the State has legalized it, but as long as it's illegal under federal law, we should not consider allowing it in Anaheim. Allowing dispensaries in Anaheim will only incentivize MORE illegal shops in our city, much like Santa Ana. I can guarantee you that a big large percentage of those dispensaries will be in West Anaheim. Please help west Anaheim improve by attracting quality businesses, not marijuana dispensaries.

Sincerely, Ken Chinn On Wed, May 6, 2020 at 6:17 PM Kenneth Chinn wrote: As a former Orange County prosecutor and 20 year resident of Anaheim, I oppose the City Council permitting recreational marijuana dispensaries in our city for the following reasons: 1. Anaheim is a city widely associated with wholesome family entertainment with world-renowned venues like Disneyland and Anaheim Stadium. Purchase and use of recreational marijuana are wholly inconsistent with wholesome family entertainment. This action would harm the reputation earned by the city and may even dissuade tourists from visiting Anaheim. 2. Young people are influenced by what they see. Allowing marijuana sales gives a veneer of respectability that is not lost on our youth. Why would we want to send a message that conflicts with the efforts of our schools and law enforcement to steer our kids away from drug use? 3. Although state law permits the licensed sale of alcohol and tobacco statewide, Proposition 64 limits the licensed purchase and use of marijuana to cities that expressly allow it. Most cities say no. Why would Anaheim consider saying yes? 4. Only Santa Ana presently allows the sale of marijuana in Orange County. We would not want Anaheim to become a destination for individuals from other cities and surrounding areas seeking to purchase marijuana. 5. Because the sale of marijuana conflicts with federal law, common forms of payment such as a credit card cannot be used. All transactions must be in cash. The presence of large amounts of cash and drugs is an attractive target for robbery. Armed guards are needed. Lack of financial documentation is an invitation to false reports of actual sales limiting the city to only those sales taxes the dispensaries choose to report. We don't want these problems in our city. 6. The true cost of enforcing, monitoring, and protecting these businesses will likely exceed any sales taxes obtained. The action you are contemplating is a terrible mistake and will forever be a stain on our image in California, across the nation, and throughout the world. It will harm our civic pride and will work against the efforts of our schools and law enforcement to help our youth become productive citizens. Please don't do this!

Is city council so afraid of what lies ahead due to the closing of the resort area that you would resort going into the drug trade? Even though you try to gentrify marijuana by referring it as cannabis ... pot is pot. Is this city council so desperate that they would open our city, our neighborhoods, and residents to the issues and problems that cannabis shops would bring? The city was finally making strides with homeowners and residents in getting input on how to improve our communities through Anaheim First. Hope that our city could become more beautiful and more vibrant to represent our resort city. Now, city council wants to through it all away and open our doors to pot heads, more DUI, and the drug trade. What a disappointment. As to your statement that: " Despite being prohibited, Anaheim continues to see 10 to 15 dispensaries operating at any given time in violation of our ordinance. We expend police and code enforcement resources to address this. We even cut power and water to these facilities as soon as we are able to do so. But for each dispensary we close, we see another crop up. Well, guess what? That is your job! It's law enforcement's job to be out there and closing them down. What I see is a city council using this as an excuse as you desperately try to find other sources of tax revenue. Let me ask you? Have you done your research on the impact of cannabis business regarding crime in surrounding counting like Riverside, San Bernardino, and L.A.? Have you spoken to their law enforcement agencies of legal cannabis shops being used for money laundering by cartels? Cartels using legal pot shops to push their products, illegal pot growers, more shady and undesirable pot heads coming into their communities. How will you address more idiots driving high and being just downright stupid? If people have the need for pot for legitimate medical use ... then guess what they can go elsewhere. I do not want them here. It took angry residents at city council meetings to demand changes regarding the homeless crisis in our city before you did anything to address it. Yet, you expect that we will believe that you can manage legal cannabis shops and business in our city. Oh and by the way. Will these pot shops be in Anaheim Hills or are you going to dump them into the west side? NO TO LEGALIZING POT SHOP.

Bien Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 11:23 AM To: Council Subject: D5 opinions on legalizing cannabis in Anaheim Dear Anaheim City Council, I hope this email finds you well late into this quarantine time. As a born and raised District 5 Anaheim resident, I have seen the city grow and many efforts/contributions by the city to beautify our city. I am a physician and my stance on medical marijuana is not negative. If used correctly it can be beneficial for patients, however the key word is `used correctly.' It has long been used and classified as recreational that bringing it to a medical tool is almost impossible. Avid users now take advantage of that newly legalized terminology as excuses for their use (sometimes abuse). Anaheim, in my opinion, is viewed as a family oriented city with Disneyland and sports entertainment (Americas favorite pastime sport baseball and hockey). To focus on the point of the topic, I do not feel it will be the best interest for the city to allow dispensaries to pop up around the city. It will attract different type of crowd and begin a decline in the city's overall beautified picture. I witnessed first hand when an illegal dispensary continually opened on Ball/Sunkist and the type of crowd and loitering individuals made the neighborhood look run down and slummy. It will certainly not uphold property value and neighboring apartments will never get top dollar for their units. As a business professional, I understand that side of the picture with increase revenue in taxes. However, wouldn't you gain much more long term in property value, increase in tourist visits, more hotels being built without legalizing it in the city? Rather than let neighboring cities profit with hotels, property value, etc. You may gain immediate benefits in taxes but long term will not - deterioration of city image, more trash, more homeless, abusers on streets, increase crime rates, petty theft, etc etc..... Anaheim is the city I come back to start a family and continue my childhood memories. I take a lot of action when and where I can to voice my opinions to keep our city beautiful. Including this email and with my concerning voice able to change the policy of Sunkist library allowing people (homeless) to sleep in the back of the library where after school kids would come to do homework and wait for parents.

Randall J. Detwiler Sent from my Whone Theresa Bass From: Kevin Leitch Sent: Thursday, May 7, 2020 3:44 PM To: Council Subject: Marijuana Dispensaries Dear council member. I am greatly opposed to allowing marijuana dispensaries to operate within the city boundaries, I believe it will only add to the already growing problem of use to more dangerous illegal drugs such as methamphetamine, cocaine, and other illicit drugs. I know this as a fact because it once happened to me when I started using marijuana, I tried harder drugs after I got bored with using marijuana. This is a fact because I know from experience and at one time I was living out of my car, homeless and always wanting to get high on methamphetamine just to feel normal. But I quit cold turkey after praying to God for help and taking the first step towards a clean and sober life. I am 66 years young and have lived in Anaheim since I was 15. That's when I started smoking marijuana, and within 4 years out of high school I began using stronger substances for a different high. Please don't allow marijuana dispensaries within the city boundaries. it will only add to the existing problem Anaheim faces with substance abuse.

Larry Moen Theresa Bass From: Jeff Koskela Sent: Friday, May 8, 2020 11:13 AM To: Council Subject: Marijuana Dispensaries Dear Council Members, I am strongly opposed to the City of Anaheim permitting Marijuana Dispensaries within the city. To permit this type of business ignores the cost to the city both in terms of the valuable image of a family friendly travel and recreation destination as well as a desirable place to raise a family. It is also wishful thinking that these all cash businesses will generate needed tax revenue in any amount that could offset the cost to police them and the crime that having them within the city will generate. What type of business other than banks requires armed guards on the premises? What is the message the city would be sending to it's school age children? Why would the city want to encourage travel into the city by the marijuana patrons from nearby cities that don't have these establishments? As the ability to detect drugged driving buy the consumers of this product is still not a reliable protocol, why would Anaheim want to add more of this risk to their traffic enforcement requirements? Though I live in the City of Fullerton, our shared border with the City of Anaheim means that our two cities share the costs and benefits of our unique cities and sadly crime knows no borders as evidenced by the many joint enforcement operations conducted by our two police forces. Please consider the lasting and widespread consequences your decision in this matter.

As a resident of Anaheim I feel that we should follow Federal law and continue to ban the sale and use of canabis in the city of Anaheim. I don't want to see shopping areas with dispensaries. I wouldn't want to be around those facilities, and it would have a direct effect on businesses located adjacent to any planned dispensaries. Remember that we have people from all over the world coming to visit our wonderful city. Some of them may come from more conservative areas and may not want to be exposed (or have their children exposed) to something that isn't common to them. If a visitor is interested in purchasing or consuming canabis, there are many other places they can go outside of the city that are already filling the need. Just drive down the freeway or look up online and I am sure they will see the advertisements.

Anaheim is a city widely associated with wholesome family entertainment with world-renowned venues like Disneyland and Anaheim Stadium. Purchase and use of recreational marijuana are wholly inconsistent with wholesome family entertainment. This action would harm the reputation earned by the city and may even dissuade tourists from visiting Anaheim. 2. Young people are influenced by what they see. Allowing marijuana sales gives a veneer of respectability that is not lost on our youth. Why would we want to send a message that conflicts with the efforts of our schools and law enforcement to steer our kids away from drug use? 3. Although state law permits the licensed sale of alcohol and tobacco statewide, Proposition 64 limits the licensed purchase and use of marijuana to cities that expressly allow it. Most cities say no. Why would Anaheim consider saying yes? 4. Only Santa Ana presently allows the sale of marijuana in Orange County. We would not want Anaheim to become a destination for individuals from other cities and surrounding areas seeking to purchase marijuana. 5. Because the sale of marijuana conflicts with federal law, common forms of payment such as a credit card cannot be used. All transactions must be in cash. The presence of large amounts of cash and drugs is an attractive target for robbery. Armed guards are needed. Lack of financial documentation is an invitation to false reports of actual sales limiting the city to only those sales taxes the dispensaries choose to report. We don't want these problems in our city. 6. The true cost of enforcing, monitoring, and protecting these businesses will likely exceed any sales taxes obtained. The action you are contemplating is a terrible mistake and will forever be a stain on our image in California, across the nation, and throughout the world. It will harm our civic pride and will work against the efforts of our schools and law enforcement to help our youth become productive citizens. Please don't do this!

Anaheim Boulevard, Seventh Floor Anaheim, CA 92805 RE: Sale of Cannabis in the City of Anaheim Dear Mayor Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council: It is my understanding that you are considering allowing the sale of cannabis in the City of Anaheim. I am 100% against allowing the sale of cannabis in the City of Anaheim. I I have lived, worked and volunteered in the City of Anaheim for nearly 60 years and I love our community. By allowing the sale of cannabis in Anaheim is a step in the wrong direction and urge you to not allow this to happen. Part of my volunteering for our great city includes: • Commissioner, 10 years for the Housing and Community Development Commission; • Vice Chair, Anaheim Chapter of the American Heart Association; • Past President, Anaheim Association of Realtors® and the Pacific West Association of RealtorsO; • Graduate, PACE and CERT programs; • Member, 10 years Rotary Club of Anaheim; and • Chair, Adopt -A -Neighbor program (administered by Anaheim Beautiful). I bring this to your attention to show you that I am committed to the City of Anaheim and that my efforts have been to improve our wonderful community. I fully believe that if the sale of cannabis is allowed in Anaheim it will be detrimental to the Anaheim residents and a step back for all the progress that has been made over the years plus ruin the integrity of our city. You have a duty to do what is best for Anaheim and I believe, this is not in the best interest of our community. Please do not allow cannabis in Anaheim. Thank you for your attention.

I'm not sure I sent the email in a way that would allow all of you to consider my concerns before the meeting (I used council(cD,anaheim.net to copy the council members). So, I'm resending it this afternoon to your personal email addresses in the hopes that you will receive the concerns before the meeting. Sincerely, Ken Chinn Dear Mayor Sidhu and City Council Members, This saddens me to bring it to your attention, but I see a strong likelihood that Mayor Harry Sidhu has a conflict of interest that will make him unable to participate in an item to be discussed and possibly voted on at your May 12th meeting. In particular, he could not participate in any discussions, be present during discussions, vote on, or approve a ballot measure related to the topic of cannabis dispensaries in the meeting (or any subsequent meetings). The basis for the potential conflict can be found in the following link: https://anaheiminvestigator.wordpress.com/2020/05/01 /anaheim-city-council-push-to-legalize- cannabis-busines ses-could-make-mayors-son-a-wealthy--. man/? f bclid=IwAR3 j oKOmJkKV SKda V 5 - MtW1UJFgNfWTSVat4KzO5iXiOm7rm aTxAgRZW k I have no personal knowledge of the truth of any of the material set forth in this link. I do not know the person who authored the piece in the link above. I do, however, think it sets forth material information that, if true, would present a clear conflict of interest for the mayor to participate in any matters related to the topic of cannabis dispensaries in next week's meeting. It should be easy for you to verify whether this information is true or not. A conversation with the mayor or his son or a review of the documents in the link should answer that question. If the material set forth is true, I cannot think of a clearer example of a conflict of interest under the jurisdiction of the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). For those who may be unfamiliar with the conflict of interest provisions of the Political Reform Act and regulations, there is a handbook published by the FPPC that explains what conflicts of interest are and how they are to be handled when present at the city council meetings. In the handbook entitled "Recognizing Conflicts of Interest - A Guide to the Conflict of Interest Rules of the Political Reform Act" (hereinafter referred to as "Guide") prepared by the FPPC and dated August 2015 we find the subject of Personal Finances. "An official has a financial interest in decisions that affect the official's personal expenses, income, assets, or liabilities, as well as those of the official's immediate family (emphasis added). This is known as the "personal financial effects" rule." (Guide page 4 and see also Title 2 Division 6, California Code of Regulations Section 18702.5) Mayor Sidhu might argue that there is no financial effect at the present time. That is not the test. It is sufficient if the interest is "reasonably foreseeable and material."(Guide page 5 and see also Title 2 Division 6, Section 18700(a) and Political Reform Act section 87103) It is foreseeable "if the effect can be recognized as a realistic possibility and more than hypothetical or theoretical." (see Guide page 6) If the role that Harry Sidhu's son's business plays in the licensing of marijuana dispensaries throughout the state is accurately portrayed in the link above, it clearly meets this test. The mere fact that his father participates in allowing these clinics into Anaheim will enormously increase his power and prestige and earning potential in this very lucrative and powerful industry. To think that he would not have an avalanche of potential clients flooding his business hoping to cash in on Anaheim dispensaries would ignore the obvious. This is a realistic possibility and therefor not hypothetical or theoretical. An offer by Mayor Sidhu's son to not do business in Anaheim is immaterial. It would be unenforceable and the clout he accumulates from the decision would resonate throughout the industry directly impacting his earning potential. It would likely make him a very wealthy man. I recommend Mayor Sidhu sit down with the city attorney to discuss this problem and then, if necessary, follow the steps outlined in the Conflict of Interest Guide (Guide page 12) to gracefully withdraw himself and leave the meeting entirely when the topic of Cannabis Dispensaries is discussed at Tuesday's council meeting.

I believe by providing a percentage of funds to the existing programs provided by the city (i.e., Project SAY, C4K, Youth Sports and the Orange County Family Justice Center) to continue the work and enhance the resources and services provided by such programs can be the responsible thing to educate and provide positive alternatives for our youth.

But before you do, please make sure the ordinance is reasonable. I don't smoke weed but I know quite a few people, millenials through baby boomers who do. For nearly all of them it is used medicinally. I wish we could have local indoor growers whose grow labs are inspected and up to standards. I would like to see dispensaries which are also inspected and licensed. It would be great if those dispensaries would purchase from local growers. I would like to see licensed edible producers using local products. We need it legal and taxed. But the growers shouldn't have too high of licensing fees and the dispensaries shouldn't be allowed to overcharge. Thank you. Jennifer L.

Why? So taxpayers get a say on how to spend the new revenue. This money must not go to tourism, not one red cent! With you deciding to prioritize advertising in tourism instead of programs for city residents with a $6 million dollar "investment," demonstrates that you cannot be entrusted to make these decisions on taxpayers' behalf. This revenue must go to our children's parks so that we have doors and soap dispensers in every park restroom like our neighboring cities! Filtered water refill station in every park! Build shades over the stands to shield families from the sun during sporting events! Lighting in all park fields so that softball and other games may be played or practiced in EVERY city park! Dr. Esther Castillo District 5 Jennifer L. Hall From: Ms. Mel Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 6:10 PM To: Council Subject: Cannabis As you can see, not regulating pop up shops just promotes black market activity. On the other hand, regulated operations are too pricey for even those with medical need to afford. 1. I think that if you do allow it, fees should not be higher than a store that buys liquor. 2. Require operators to train and/or higher through the Chrysalis program instead of charging excessive fees. 3. Keep ID regulations in place to enter and purchase like the medical dispensaries used to have before legalization. 4. If you require #3 then they can operate in the same locations as a liquor store. 5. Keep city fees reasonable. The state has already regulated legal operators out of being competitive to the black market. Defeats the purpose to add more. 6. Allow conditional use permits for the first 1-3 years to see who cost Anaheim more due to elevated crime calls in their areas of operation. 7. Make operators charge tourism taxes on those who provide out of state/country ID. I have no idea if any of these suggestions are legal. I am not an attorney. So, I appreciate your consideration of them. Melody Marler Jennifer L. Hall From: Slow Gatr Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2020 1:44 AM To: Council Subject: Cannabis As someone who hates any and all things cannabis, I have found many people using cannabis regardless of what's been done over the years. I have a burning bias against the topic, but will write as unbiased as possible. I'm writing a lot as it helps me see and understand why this is a genuinely problematic topic, as well as, thoughts were asked for, so I'll do just that and think! I would also like to share my experiences, if in case it would have any weight or any place in the cannabis topic. In the area that I currently live in (92801), people always consume it openly. These are areas that have children playing. There's even an elementary school across the street from the area they smoke it. A friend of mine had put up with it when he was in high school (Magnolia HS) from 20122016, and especially during 2016. We've had much forced exposure to cannabis. In 2016, students somehow were obtaining cannabis and even drinking alcohol. It usually begins by the after- school hours, but would somehow still be done on campus in numerous areas. 4 stinky years later, he now has classmates in Fullerton College that use it, and par for the course, they're none too bright. I also have a neighbor that uses it and is as expected. Because of these experiences, I am also concerned about the long-term drawbacks, as it creates these pockets of public nuisances, and with ease of access, will create even more of them. Infuriatingly, nothing can actually be done about those types of uses. Of course, these aren't cases that have accountability, therefore cannot be listed as a point in a pro vs. con scenario. However, it (public disturbance/nuisance) may influence or have hold in a community topic -based argument or counterpoint. Moving forward from that story, we have the fact that people will always do something illegal or banned, and unless there's a harsh penalty, will always do so. People already abuse medical -purpose dispensaries. It's human nature to want and take, just as much as it their nature to give. The resulting action(s) that stemp from "to legalize or not to legalize?" may or may not have any effect on dispensaries opening. Regardless, I would hate to see the day we have more weed than we have Starbucks. With all that said, the real questions would be, "what is more beneficial?" Is it better (and for whom?) to just shut illegal dispensaries down? How about versus the income born from the taxation of 5-15+ dispensaries? Depending on the legal dispensary cap (if there is one, which I genuinely do hope that there will be one) and how people respond to that (IE. 10 legal dispensaries allowed, but people keep trying to open 5, 10 more). The argument of having a cap or not having a cap is another debate entirely, but if there is a cap, there would be two scenarios. The worst case scenario is that it creates a funds that would be used to aid the shuttering of newly created illegal dispensaries. This is not all too different from how a poison can be turned into an antidote. With that in mind, the best case scenario is that people behave and adhere to the cap, which means the resulting taxes lead to a plus city income. If we do not have a cap, then we must question and consider if people will behave to any potential guidelines or manners to control what could be an increase in smoking, out of the way of innocent civilians. This is extremely important in neighborhoods with a lot of children and possibly many of animals. This also includes the possibility of harm that would befall the two subject categories as a byproduct from those that use cannabis. (IE. child gets attacked, dog gets attacked.) (Other factors would be exposure to children and animals (namely, dogs), but that yet another point of debate.) The main positive however, is that there'll be higher tax money that would go into city services, but how much more? Projected values under conditions would be key. There is the remaining portion of the debate that would containing many important questions that I'm wondering about. What information do we assume? Do we calculate using the prospect that it will end illegal dispensaries, or do we calculate with the hopes that it will vastly lower illegal dispensaries? What will the extra income go towards? What service deserves the extra funds? Will it even be extra funding? What are the positives and negatives to both, community -wise? What action is most beneficial for the community, and what is most beneficial for the city? Can we actually have a solution that benefits both? Is there a benefit to be found in cannabis at all? In closing, making it more difficult to obtain is a course of action I would love, but if it comes at high costs, then regulating it makes sense. Jennifer L.

Not allowing it is throwing away tax dollars. Anaheim residents using marijuana are giving other cities their money. Considering the needs for The homeless, adult care, day care, and housing it would be wise for the city to make the East revenue. It should be placed for a vote so the people can decide how to spend the money. Jennifer Lapointe Jennifer L. Hall From: Vicki Turner Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 1:38 PM To: Council Subject: Marijuana dispensaries As a resident who has lived next to two dispensaries for the last three years, I have some input regarding legalizing them. I am personally opposed to drug use for recreational purposes. However, I recognize the fact that the state voted to legalize it. All I can offer are my concerns as a resident living next to one (literally right next to one on Tustin Ave and Santa Ana Cyn Rd). When the larger dispensary was operating at the old racquetball club and the small one in the small shopping center we had many problems as residents. The parking lot didn't support the amount of people that the dispensary and other businesses were serving. This resulted in dispensary clients parking in our alley and blocking our garages as well as taking up all the street parking and using residents assigned spots. It was a constant problem. One night two clients walked into our alley and there was a stabbing. Many of these "clients" are young people and they light up in their cars and proceed to drive high in our neighborhood. We personally observed this. There were a lot of these young people speeding through the parking lot. One even sped through and hit his oil pan on a speed bump and set his car on fire and it caught a parked car on fire too. If Anaheim legalized these businesses they should be heavily monitored. They often illegally wired the electrical wires inside and this was a fire hazard that could have affected the condos nearby. They should be allowed to operate near a residential area or school, perhaps in an industrial complex or other shopping complex. There should be a large amount of onsite parking as well. This is my input for what its worth. Vicki Turner Sent from my iPhone Jennifer L.

In November 2016, a majority of Anaheim residents supported Proposition 64, which legalized recreational cannabis in California. This ordinance would: &#8226; Permit a limited number of cannabis businesses, using a stringent merit -based application system. &#8226; Limit them to industrial areas with safeguards such as buffer zones around schools, parks, libraries, daycare centers, and youth sites. This would generate millions in annual tax revenue for Anaheim - helping offset revenue losses stemming from COVID- 19 and maintain vital public services. An estimated 20-40 illegal cannabis shops operate in Anaheim at any one time. They consume enforcement resources while generating no tax revenue for the city. Prop. 64 allows cannabis deliveries from cities where is it legal into cities where it is not. Cannabis shops in Santa Ana and Long Beach can deliver legally into Anaheim now - but the city doesn't get any of the jobs or taxes. The illegal shops don't pay taxes, don't have products that meet safety standards, and don't treat their workers well. Having legal cannabis businesses will address all these problems.

Cannabis is an important medicine for thousands of residents in Orange County, and expanding dispensaries will help to make it easier for residents in Anaheim and Central OC to access important and needed medicine. Legalizing, regulating and taxing cannabis will also produce much needed quality jobs and tax revenue for the city. It is important to note that Cannabis is already in Anaheim, operating in the shadows in unregulated illicit shops. Voting to legalize the cannabis industry doesn't mean you are voting to bring cannabis to Anaheim. It means you are choosing to regulate the industry in a responsible way. The black market shops currently operating and delivering in Anaheim are unregulated, untaxed and unsafe. This means employees at these black market shops are dealing with dangerous working conditions and are even risking arrest trying to make a living for their families. By legalizing and regulating the industry, as is the case with the dispensary where I work, we can move towards safe products, good working conditions, pay and benefits. Employees with stable union jobs will also help ensure that dispensaries are acting responsibly with the neighborhoods they serve. Rachel Tatnall Assistant Manager Connected Cherry Jennifer L.

I also think it would bring a great deal of revenue to our great city. If you see the figures alone in Los Angeles for there 1 year tax revenue records in the billions. So I really think that the City of Anaheim should allow for the distribution, cultivation, licensing, and retailing of Cannabis. We are no longer in a time of when marijuana madness was the case. We have come a tremendous way since those days and have seen the benefits of what cannabis has done. I personally ask that the Anaheim City Council consider allowing the licensing & legalization of cannabis sales and operation. What good does it do our city by throwing away assets & resources at something that can bring in 10xs the revenue. I really think that dispensaries should be allowed, but with regulation and also not some outrageous tax they can't pay, they should pay the same tax as alcohol there is no difference between the two.

The state has already legalized the practice and allowing our proximity to Disneyland sway our thoughts on this subject as a city is just ridiculous. Utilizing vital resources such as police to "shut down" "illegal" dispensaries is a waste of time. As someone who uses cannabis on occasion the "illegal" storefronts will go nowhere so long as the city doesn't allow legitimate businesses to open and operate within the city limits. Think about the potential tax revenues the city would see by allowing the cannabis industry to operate legally within our borders. We have seen how our city has grown with the adoption of breweries within our city and I'm sure our tax coffers our healthier for it. Think about the possibilities of a legal cannabis industry would provide in terms of tax revenue for the city. That money could go to providing more essential services for our community, improving parks and recreation activities for the youth and senior citizens, and the money that could be saved by having our police officers go and stop real crime. In summary the city of Anaheim should absolutely legalize the operation of the cannabis industry within its borders. Thank you for your time.

You should absolutely legalize cannabis and allow dispensaries to sell products. Not only will this create jobs, especially during a time where we need to strategize on how to get people back to being employed due to this pandemic. It will also create revenue in tax dollars that can go back to fixing up neighborhoods while keeping Anaheim economy going. Residents from other cities will be coming to see what there is to offer here. This is exactly what we will need once this pandemic is behind us. Dont let Disney monopolize and take over the whole damn city! At this rate it will be nothing but an entire city of hotels for them! Even they will see a huge loss in profits this year due to having to close for months. Legalization of cannabis will also provide some needed relief for the thousands of Anaheim residents who have lost their jobs and are now under extreme pressure. Times are not easy and mental health is being greatly affected which in turn causes crime and violence to raise. Along with the use of opioids because clinics practically give those away for any symptom you have but yet they can't provide enough or affordable mental health services! We need to move forward and think of how we can learn and what we can gain from something that will never go away. Alcohol is far more dangerous and is the cause to soo many crimes and deaths every single year, but nobody is trying to ban alcohol or bars. It's time we get creative and innovative and stop having antiquated feelings about a plant. Look at the data from other states. There's a higher probability that most of Anaheim residents won't even be the consumers if the city gets in much better shape and takes advantage. Most revenue will come from neighboring city's residents because they won't have to go further now for their needs. Please discuss with UNBIASED experts on this topic. We can't let personal feelings let us lose out of millions in profit. There is currently no other business that can provide this right now. This will also allow police to focus on other serious issues instead of wasting full days on closing dispensaries and arresting individuals for minor "drug" offenses.

It would lower the absurd incarceration rates in our state. Also it would provide needed jobs in our area. Also, I do not believe the state should regulate and control what a consenting adult puts in their body. If people can drink and smoke tobacco, then you shouldn't prevent them from using cannabis.

I just want to say thank you for the opportunity to even share an opinion. I found the add on Facebook. My background is in mental health and substance abuse with an associates degree in human services. I spent almost a decade working in a treatment facility for those who have problems with drug and alcohol consumption. I did not start my journey with cannabis until I was 26 and moved to California. I had an amazing time with my cousins and was a great experience. A year later legalization happens for recreation and I decided to try it more and I enjoy it. Even when studying it in school I would find that my professors would even tell us that cannabis is not as bad it was previously though. And had to redact some of what our textbooks would say about the drug. My opinion completely changed on cannabis this past year and I routinely visit dispensaries outside of Anaheim to purchase. Cannabis is not for everyone and it has its downsides though, no where near as bad as alcohol. I hope you consider allowing dispensaries to operate here inside Anaheim this could bring additional revenue to Anaheim. Just because one person does not like something doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't be able to enjoy. Decisions should not be made that way.

For one, if they are popping up anyway then it is best for the city to tax them. Secondly, it's not as if Marijuana is a violent drug, it is actually quite the opposite. It actually helps people to relax and it is a non- violent, de -stressful drug. Thirdly, research has shown that CBD helps with aches, pains and even people with seizures. It is known to highly decrease a person's seizures. These are very good things. Lastly, I've never heard of anyone murdering someone when they have used Marijuana. I vote Yes Jennifer L.

Hall From: Stephanie Alvarez de la Rosa Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2020 1:31 AM To: Council Subject: Cannabis Hello There Council, I am a resident of Anaheim in District 3 and I have some comments in regards to legalizing the sale of cannabis in the city. First thank you for calling it cannabis, as it should be. Not by any other term that comes with a discriminatory history. Although federally still considered a drug, in actuality cannabis is simply a plant. A healing plant. The people of California have already voted for it to be legal recreational and medicinal. I am surprised Anaheim has taken this long to put it to a vote to sell. We are missing out on tax dollars that can help in many city services and programs. The data is readily available. In 2019 on their highest grossing months, revenue for Cannabis was able to secure over 20 million dollars for the city of Denver. Imagine the kind of tax revenue Anaheim would bring in when tourism is back up and running. We already have great incentive laws in the city for breweries, and adding cannabis to that would be great. We have so many other cities in the country to use as examples of what to do with legalizing selling cannabis and what not to do. We have the chance to set a great standard of cannabis city selling laws that are not only fair but progressive. I am a big fan of the non-profit Drug Policy Alliance who supports information and policies related to cannabis that are grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights. Safety is their top priority, especially when it comes to young people. There are many great resources to better educate when it comes to this healing plant. We can just let Santa Ana reap the tax benefits or we can join in and also benefit. When we legalize the sale of cannabis in the city of Anaheim I hope the licenses will be given out fairly and diversity will be taken into consideration. It would be unjust to have a majority of only white ownership of dispensaries in the city. That data is out there too, the majority of this new cannabis boom in the country is disproportionately white. Although people of color have had years of discriminatory cannabis laws forced upon they are still being affected with unfair selling laws. I am forever hopeful that the city will choose to bring this to a vote and bring in the tax revenue for our community from this great little plant 4.4! Thank you. In Health, Stephanie Alvarez From: Daniel Pryor Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2020 8:17 AM To: Council Subject: Cannabis I support selling Cannabis in Anaheim, I don't use, but my wife is Epileptic and the CBD oil helps a ton. Jennifer L.

Especially with current circumstances, a great portion of tax revenue will be lost. Cannabis has been deemed an essential business and can help bridge the tax gap. I think that City Council should move forward without delay to begin the process of licensing legal cannabis dispensaries. Christopher Bloom Jennifer L. Hall From: Margie Pyle Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2020 6:51 PM To: Council Subject: Cannabis It is obvious that you can't keep them shut down. I would prefer to see it legalized and strictly regulated. The consumer would hopefully be obtaining a safer end product. I myself, as a senior citizen with several medical issues, have considered trying cannabis. I know a number of seniors that are using it in various forms for medicinal value. It is better than opioids and has never caused an overdose death. I hope the Anaheim City Council will put this on the agenda and ultimately pass laws making it a legal business. Please do it soon. Don't leave it in limbo for months on end. It is already legal in our state. Thank you for asking for our input. Sent from my iPhone I Jennifer L. Hall From: Bobbie Schafer Sent: Sunday, May 3, 2020 4:50 PM To: Council Subject: Cannabis I think the city should regulate dispensaries and collect the taxes for the city, especially in a time when Anaheim's tourism taxes will be at an all time low due to covid19. Since the dispensaries are legal in other cities, as well as statewide, Anaheim will spend more funds trying to shut down these operations, which continue to pop up anyway. People will continue to use cannabis, whether for medical or recreational reasons, despite Anaheim's current regulations, so Anaheim may as well reap the benefits of the taxes rather than allow the taxes to go to other cities which allow the sales.

They are selling unregulated products and gouging their patients for $. If they are operating inside the city, why shouldn't the taxes be collected for our schools/roads/cannabis regulation/parks? Cutting off the power and water isn't going to stop a high cash flow business from getting a generator and bottled water. Placing the unrealistic operating distance of 25 miles is nonsense. You would let alcohol/prescriptions/fast food be sold near schools, doesn't seem fair when they are all directly linked to many deaths. The security of the shops are well equipped to deny homeless and kids. Some of the established businesses in LA and Santa Ana are respectable and operate as such. Most of the Anaheim dispensaries and surrounding areas are amateur pop ups. I believe that many of the thrill seeking tourists are looking to purchase cannabis during their California experience, it only seems responsible to supply them with local quality stores instead of what is being allowed to operate. If there is any way I could be more involved in this please let me know. I would like to help and add an opinion. Thank you for the opportunity to openly address this topic.

Especially during this dark this in our history. Many people cannot leave their homes and feel depressed or discouraged of the future. So some people smoke, eat, take pills of CBD, cartridges or many or items to feel better. The state has already legalized the practice and allowing our proximity. People need and want these things. When people are losing their jobs, insurance, and future. There can be hope with change. Provide the access to legalize the license cannabis sales. It will lead better future for everyone. It will provide jobs to people that can ship, delivery, and even grows from homes. Even hemp the thing from cannabis that does not get you high can be used for paper, bags, etc. The possibilities to help grow our city to one that will set an acceptable to all our states. There could be local events like farmers market but for hemp clothes, paper and things. Bake sales and delivery for the the and CBD bakes. Small or big company's could grow and provide better services to community. Taxes this location of stores and put the money towards education and the children. Used the money to help supplies the children with school supplies or food. That money could go to providing more essential services for our community, improving parks and recreation activities for the youth and senior citizens. I received my medical marijuana card when I was 18. I destroyed my left shoulder and cut all the ligaments in it. My doctor providing access for me to get help. I was still in high school and was nervous but I did not want to get addicted to pills or worse overdosed. My doctor told me the truth of medical values of herb. I don't smoke I use cream and rub it on my shoulder. I don't get high but the pain goes away. People who smoke, cook, used items of cannabis or even run a business for cannabis industry are not criminals. Stop wasting good hard taxpayers money on raids and shut downs. The money that could be saved by having our police officers go and stop real crime. In summary the city of Anaheim should absolutely legalize the operation of the cannabis industry within its borders. Thank you for your time.

As a resident of Anaheim, I think cannabis sales should be legal and also regulated. I think Santa Ana has laid out an awesome blueprint that we could also incorporate. They have limited the number of shops in their city via a lottery. I think that having legal, licensed and regulated shops would serve residents well through the additional revenue stream. It's the unregulated, fly by night trap shops that cause problems. I think having above board, regulated and licensed shops, like those in Santa Ana, would be a welcome addition!

I firmly believe that we should legalize, regulate, shutdown illegal operations and earmark the taxes for schools, parks and addiction/treatment programs. No reason why Anaheim should miss out on any revenue from tourists AND residents by having them go to neighboring cities or illegal shops. Personally, I drive to Santa Ana or Long Beach when I'd much rather spend my dollars in my hometown. Also, perhaps form a committee of residents to determine the tax revenue distribution. I believe schools, libraries and addiction/treatment programs and facilities should get the bulk of it. It'll help make up for declining revenues that I'm sure are coming due to the Covid19 situation. Jennifer L.

Instead, Anaheim decided to follow the sanctimonious few and let the surrounding counties eat our lunch, but now with a financial shortfall looming, it sounds lucrative doesn't it? Typical conservative reasoning.

Hall From: Cody Martin Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2020 5:07 PM To: Council Subject: Cannabis Dear Anaheim council, My name is Cody and I am emailing you to ask that you vote to legalize the sale of cannabis in the city of Anaheim. Although I think the use of cannabis is a bad habit, the will of California voters can not be undermined by local governments. Furthermore, people are already illegally selling cannabis in the city of Anaheim. I believe if we legalize and HEVILY regulate cannabis dispensaries it will cut down on black market cannabis sales in Anaheim and Orange County in general. Here are some regulations I think are fair, First there shouldn't be dispensaries within 1000 feet to Disneyland or California adventures, the Honda center, or Angles baseball stadium. Second, there should not be cannabis dispensaries within 1,000 feet of schools or daycare centers. Lastly, (and this one is very important) please levy a tax on all cannabis products sold in the city of Anaheim with the exception of medical use. This is very important, I think the tax revenue should go to fix the roads in Anaheim, fund law enforcement, and also go to public schools in Anaheim to fund educational programs, sports programs, as well as other educational and extracurricular activities for students. Please understand, this is coming from someone who doesn't support the use of cannabis but the law is the law, we need to respect the will of California voters. Please regulate the sale of cannabis. If Anaheim doesn't open up recreational cannabis dispensaries, there will be a black market for cannabis sales in Anaheim. The black market serves no one but criminals. Criminals line their pockets with drug money and go on with their lives. Let's make a smart approach to cannabis, let's legalize, tax, and regulate cannabis for medical and recreational use in Anaheim. Sent from my iPhone I Jennifer L.

Public Comment From: Craig Sent: Monday, May 11, 2020 12:15 PM To: Public Comment Cc: Pot Brothers at Law Subject: Agenda Item 23 Public Comment City Council Members: I have been a resident of Anaheim for 33 years and have raised 4 children. Two of them are in the legal cannabis space. I am an attorney, as well, who has been practicing cannabis laws for over 25 years, as well as, helping Clients and Cities with their Cannabis Policies. As you are aware Cities across the State have been reducing Taxes to generally 1%, down from 6% -10%, due to the over taxation of Cannabis at all levels, which is causing cannabis businesses to fail at an alarming rate. These businesses have to deal with 280e of the IRS tax code which disallows many of the deductions allowed for a non -cannabis business, thereby causing a huge tax bill. The over taxation is helping the illegal market, which is rampant in the City of Anaheim. It is very simple, a Cannabis Business should be treated as any other legal business and taxed at the same rates. The revenue brought in would be huge, as with any other legal business. There is no reason to impose a "Sin" tax, which makes it very difficult on companies to stay in business. I would urge the Council to be reasonable with taxes and fees. Furthermore, there is no reason to limit any of the Cannabis activities to a certain number, especially Retail. Let the Buffer zones between businesses take care of that, as these stores can generate huge revenues for the City, which is badly needed at this time, so why hamstring the City.

The fact that you would consider an item as serious as this without a comprehensive study is unbelievably irresponsible. Not one treatment center or expert was contacted, nor was any governmental agency that deals with addiction on this matter. Why would you even consider voting on an item like this until a comprehensive study is completed and have fully exhausted all aspects of a decision like this? Besides the simple fact that a decision like this goes completely against 2 major initiatives that the City of Anaheim has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into. The first being the Drug Free Anaheim Program which has placed almost 600 addicts into treatment and the second being the effort in addressing homelessness. Where are the studies on the effect of marijuana in these two areas? Let's also not forget about our children. How shall we continue to teach our children to not use drugs and alcohol if passing an item such as this? Anaheim also has a gang problem if you are unaware. The drug dealers and gang members will go to the dispensaries. The problems will get worse. Meet with HIDTA in Colorado. This item is, even if passed, should not be passed without some basic common sense, public safety regulations . Let us also remember to be realistic in the fact that these businesses still cannot legally bank their money, nor are they federally legal. So if you think you will get you monies worth out of them, whatever that looks like -not sure how you can ethically put a dollar amount of people's lives and our children's values, you won't. They will never report what they actually make, they will cause more problems with law enforcement, the clientele they attract is not typically law abiding citizens, and if you believe any different you are listening to the lobbyists as opposed to the governmental agencies who have to deal with the fall out. Have any of you met with or spoken with HIDTA in Colorado? Do you know what that is? Have you met with the DEA? Or the ONDCP? The FDA? If you have not met with any of these agencies and received in depth studies in this area you should in no way be voting on an item like this as it would be incredibly irresponsible and dangerous.

In November 2016, a majority of Anaheim residents supported Proposition 64, which legalized recreational cannabis in California. This ordinance would: &#8226; Permit a limited number of cannabis businesses, using a stringent merit -based application system. &#8226; Limit them to industrial areas with safeguards such as buffer zones around schools, parks, libraries, daycare centers, and youth sites. This would generate millions in annual tax revenue for Anaheim - helping offset revenue losses stemming from COVID- 19 and maintain vital public services. An estimated 20-40 illegal cannabis shops operate in Anaheim at any one time. They consume enforcement resources while generating no tax revenue for the city. Prop. 64 allows cannabis deliveries from cities where is it legal into cities where it is not. Cannabis shops in Santa Ana and Long Beach can deliver legally into Anaheim now - but the city doesn't get any of the jobs or taxes. The illegal shops don't pay taxes, don't have products that meet safety standards, and don't treat their workers well. Having legal cannabis businesses will address all these problems. The Anaheim Police Association and the Anaheim Fire Association, which previously opposed cannabis in Anaheim, support this ordinance. It's the right time for Anaheim to legalize cannabis businesses and I urge you to support Item 23.

Sincerely, Cynthia Ardolino Anaheim, CA 92807 Constituent Theresa Bass From: Cristina Marchis Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2020 5:41 PM To: Theresa Bass Subject: Notice regarding the Constitution and my rights Re: Notice regarding the Constitution and my rights Dear Ms. Bass, Below are critically important questions, evidence, facts, and my NOTICE OF TERMS to you in your public and private capacities. Transmission of this notice has been electronically recorded. Thank you for reading this notice, sent to you in good faith, and without ill -intent. Please respond ASAP. In this current crisis, measures have been undertaken which are harming me against my consent. Further malicious actions are being threatened against me, and against the rule of law itself. A central example is the TRACE Act (HR 6666), proposing $100 BILLION in 2020 to create an industry of "contact tracers" — a ubiquitous, fascist surveillance network — to enforce testing and apparently to grant the "authority" to remove people from their dwellings. See: bit.ly/bi116666 This action is egregious and, for federal officials, I ask you to immediately stop this bill. For all officials: stop all anti -Constitution legislation, and pass laws preserve all Constitutional rights and the rule of law in this country. PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS A. I have unalienable rights recognized in the original U.S. Constitution that cannot be superseded by any agenda, nor be removed from me. I understand these laws of the land to be active and currently valid. If this is not the case, please send verification in writing within 72 hours. B. My unalienable rights are being harmed by agendas implemented by oath -sworn elected officials, corporate executives and/or non -elected officials (collectively "Agents Of Harm"). These include, without limitation: i. My free rights to speak, travel, do commerce, work, assemble, and be free of surveillance without warrant. ii. A threat of medical procedures or experimentation without my consent. iii. Threats of punitive detention, violence and or assault for non-compliance. C. My unalienable rights are NOT conditional — i.e. subject to proving I am not contagious, nor submitting to surveillance, nor anything that would cause me harm — properly called "extortion". NOTICE OF TERMS Effective immediately, and until each of the below questions are answered to my satisfaction, LET IT BE KNOWN throughout all jurisdictions and dimensions that: A. I DO NOT CONSENT to being harmed by any imposition of quarantine, or restriction on my right to assemble, work, travel, speak or do commerce. B. I DO NOT CONSENT to being told to live in fear, nor made to wear a mask, nor being mandated an allowable proximity to others. C. I DO NOT CONSENT to any offer of forced medical experimentation or testing; nor forced medical procedure (i.e. vaccine, or substance delivered by air, water, or other means without my knowledge and consent); nor exposure to radiation from 4G/5G/wireless deployments; nor being tracked by any technology or biometric device on or adjacent to my body. D. I HEREBY ACCEPT YOUR OATH OF OFFICE as your sworn statement that binds you to uphold my Constitutional rights, protect me from harm once noticed, and to liability when acting with negligence or without duty of care. E. I RESERVE ALL OF MY RIGHTS, nunc pro tunc, to pursue remedy for ALL harm AND THREATS OF HARM, which may constitute CRIMINAL ASSAULT, and or tort, caused or contributed by Agents Of Harm. I intend to seek remedy and lawful justice unless and until the stated harmful actions cease and desist. If you do not agree with my lawful ability to state and realize these claims and terms, please make your case in writing within 72 hours. If I receive no response from you, or if you offer any response that violates the supremacy of the original U.S. Constitution and you do not disprove my claim that the U.S. Constitution is active and valid, I will deem you to be in agreement and will proceed accordingly.

Sincerely, Brian D Raymond Anaheim, CA 92801 Constituent Theresa Bass From: Katharine Nekoranec Sent: Saturday, May 9, 2020 10:57 PM To: Theresa Bass Subject: NOTICE regarding HR 6666 (TRACE Act) and other measures causing harm Re: NOTICE regarding HR 6666 (TRACE Act) and other measures causing harm Dear Ms. Bass, Below are critically important questions, evidence, facts, and my NOTICE OF TERMS to you in your public and private capacities. Transmission of this notice has been electronically recorded. Thank you for reading this notice, sent to you in good faith, and without ill -intent. Please respond ASAP. In this current crisis, measures have been undertaken which are harming me against my consent. Further malicious actions are being threatened against me, and against the rule of law itself. A central example is the TRACE Act (HR 6666), proposing $100 BILLION in 2020 to create an industry of "contact tracers" — a ubiquitous, fascist surveillance network — to enforce testing and apparently to grant the "authority" to remove people from their dwellings. See: bit.ly/bi116666 This action is egregious and, for federal officials, I ask you to immediately stop this bill. For all officials: stop all anti -Constitution legislation, and pass laws preserve all Constitutional rights and the rule of law in this country. PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS A. I have unalienable rights recognized in the original U.S. Constitution that cannot be superseded by any agenda, nor be removed from me. I understand these laws of the land to be active and currently valid. If this is not the case, please send verification in writing within 72 hours. B. My unalienable rights are being harmed by agendas implemented by oath -sworn elected officials, corporate executives and/or non -elected officials (collectively "Agents Of Harm"). These include, without limitation: i. My free rights to speak, travel, do commerce, work, assemble, and be free of surveillance without warrant. ii. A threat of medical procedures or experimentation without my consent. iii. Threats of punitive detention, violence and or assault for non-compliance. C. My unalienable rights are NOT conditional — i.e. subject to proving I am not contagious, nor submitting to surveillance, nor anything that would cause me harm — properly called "extortion". NOTICE OF TERMS Effective immediately, and until each of the below questions are answered to my satisfaction, LET IT BE KNOWN throughout all jurisdictions and dimensions that: A. I DO NOT CONSENT to being harmed by any imposition of quarantine, or restriction on my right to assemble, work, travel, speak or do commerce. B. I DO NOT CONSENT to being told to live in fear, nor made to wear a mask, nor being mandated an allowable proximity to others. C. I DO NOT CONSENT to any offer of forced medical experimentation or testing; nor forced medical procedure (i.e. vaccine, or substance delivered by air, water, or other means without my knowledge and consent); nor exposure to radiation from 4G/5G/wireless deployments; nor being tracked by any technology or biometric device on or adjacent to my body. D. I HEREBY ACCEPT YOUR OATH OF OFFICE as your sworn statement that binds you to uphold my Constitutional rights, protect me from harm once noticed, and to liability when acting with negligence or without duty of care. E. I RESERVE ALL OF MY RIGHTS, nunc pro tunc, to pursue remedy for ALL harm AND THREATS OF HARM, which may constitute CRIMINAL ASSAULT, and or tort, caused or contributed by Agents Of Harm. I intend to seek remedy and lawful justice unless and until the stated harmful actions cease and desist. If you do not agree with my lawful ability to state and realize these claims and terms, please make your case in writing within 72 hours. If I receive no response from you, or if you offer any response that violates the supremacy of the original U.S. Constitution and you do not disprove my claim that the U.S. Constitution is active and valid, I will deem you to be in agreement and will proceed accordingly. QUESTIONS AND EVIDENCE 1. Why are doctors asked to RECORD ANY CAUSE OF DEATH AS CV -19 EVEN IN THE ABSENSE OF CONFIRMATORY TESTING? bit.ly/2yfAJgc 2. Why are hospitals paid $13,000 for EACH claimed CV -19 patient and $39,000 for EACH ventilator request? bit.ly/2wFxH4i 3. Why are testing methods being used which DO NOT confirm CV -19, and which the test inventor said should NOT be used to identify a specific disease? bit.ly/2LfTdAw 4. Why are goats and even fruit apparently testing "positive" for CV -19? bit.ly/35Skxl 5. Why is the media suppressing a study showing CV -19 may be up to 50-85x LESS fatal than was thought? bit.ly/3cxTyd5 6. Why are hospitals empty if CV -19 is a legitimate pandemic? bit.ly/3cn11 7. Why do you not tell us social distancing costs us $2 trillion dollars, contributes to depression and suicide, and will CAUSE the "second wave"? bit.ly/3ezOdno 8. Why is 5G being fast -tracked in our cities and schools during lockdown? bit.ly/34Jr9hN 9. Why are the economy, jobs, and freedoms being destroyed, allegedly to save people, when alcohol, cigarettes and junk food kill 21 MILLION people/year AND ARE STILL ALLOWED? bit.ly/3dt31 10.

Item 18: Solidarity with Anaheim's Asian -American Community During Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc in our city and our country. Now is the time for unity in the face of adversity. Let us together condemn anti -Asian sentiment. The American way of life holds no place for bigotry and scapegoating. Item 19: Proclaim May 30, 2020, as the Class of 2020 Day. One of the tragic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is that thousands of Anaheim students who are graduating or being promoted will miss out on a time-honored rite of passage: the graduation ceremony. Please come together as our city council representatives to honor our young people and utilize city facilities, communications and partnerships to honor and recognize these students for their accomplishments. Item 20: Angel Stadium. The agreement to sell Angel Stadium and keep our cherished baseball team in Anaheim until 2050 generate hundreds of millions in vital revenue. The is item ratifies the Angels agreement to speed-up their Third Deposit, putting $10 million in desperately needed revenue into the city treasury a year early. Item 21: Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and Online Travel Companies (OTC). This is another action the Council can take to bring in additional urgently needed revenue by finally allowing Anaheim hotels to collect and remit the full TOT for each room booked through OCTs. Item 22: COVID-19 Pandemic Eviction Moratorium. As the pandemic crisis continues, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Faessel seeks to extend the current eviction protections for impacted residential and commercial tenants by both ordinance and action under the Interim City Manager's emergency powers. This is a reasonable measure acceptable to both landlords and tenants. Taken both separately and together, this agenda Items will move Anaheim forward toward recovery from this calamitous pandemic.

RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM to stand in solidarity with Anaheim's Asian American community and denounce discrimination due to Coronavirus. I would like to express strong support for item #19 WITH an AMENDMENT that Councilman Moreno is going to propose along the lines of encouraging residents and business to show support in their own way such as signs in the window, etc.: 19. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM to proclaim May 30, 2020, as the Class of 2020 Day, to honor Anaheim students who are graduation or being promoted; and provide direction for other Class of 2020 city recognition opportunities. I support item #22 but with the concern that there does not seem to be a clear way to enforce this. My daughter lives in Anaheim, turned in the form the City has, and her Apartments rejected it stating they do not have to comply with the moratorium because they are a property management company. They then charged her a late fee and 3.5% fee to pay by credit card. 22. Direct the Interim City Manager, as Director of Emergency Services, to take the following necessary steps regarding previously adopted Uncodified (Urgency) Ordinance No. 6482: extend until June 30, 2020 the temporary moratorium on eviction of residential or commercial tenants unable to pay rent because of COVID-19; clarify the timing of tenant notice requirements and when back rent payments are due under the Ordinance; and seek federal and state legislative support for property owners dependent on rent payments lost due to the COVID-19 crisis. ffave, a,Uea rufuLcry, Ta*.a ra% 6* e .k C y 12etat"-L&ms- Manama L' CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is protected under the Federal regulations governing Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records, 42 C.F.R.

I am writing in regards to two agenda items: 1. Agenda Item #19 - Resolution to proclaim 5/30/20 as the class of 2020 day 2. Agenda Item # 23 - Ordinance regarding regulation, distribution. manufacturing and cultivation of cannabis With regards to agenda item #19, I strongly encourage your support for this small yet meaningful recognition for the students who are graduating from an Anaheim school. My brother is a senior at Katella High School in district 5 and this pandemic and the sudden shutdown of his senior year has hit him particularly hard. He, like so many of his friends and peers, were looking forward to events to wrap up the year and unfortunately are not able to participate in any of these events. My brother, who just took on learning piano about 3 years ago, even went as far as performing and dedicating a classical -styled song to his peers (I invite you to check out the —2 min video on Youtube). At the rate things are going, my brother has lost hope of their even being a physical graduation in the near -future, but I am hopeful that even a small act of recognition for him and all of the other seniors impacted by the current situation will at least remind them that their accomplishment and milestone is not going unnoticed. Turning to agenda item #23, I urge city council to hold off on making any decision during tomorrow's meeting as residents have not had enough time to evaluate the proposed ordinance nor discuss with our fellow neighbors. I live with my family and we are all registered voters who hold different views on a wide range of policy proposals. My family members were only aware about this agenda item because I happened to find out from another Anaheim resident, but even I have not had sufficient time to really analyze the current proposal. If the city is unable to postpone hearing this agenda item to another day, then I am unfortunately going to have to ask you to vote NO on this as we just don't have enough information to make an informed decision. Much like when I, and so many others are casting our ballots on initiatives that seek to change our state laws, if I don't have a good understanding of what I am voting on, the best way to go is to vote NO and avoid causing any unintended harm to my community. I appreciate the time you have taken to read my comments and look forward to tomorrow's meeting. Thank you, Daisy Chavez Criminology, Law & Society University of California, Irvine '15 Jennifer L.

It was the right thing to do. The students have worked so hard and deserve to be recognized for their hard work perseverance and their ability to weather through this unbelievable hardship they have had to bear. Our students are resilient like no other and will come out the other end of this Covid-19 crisis stronger than ever. I would say in many ways our students have been handling this crisis much better than adults. They will be no doubt a class that will never forget this experience and this gesture will help ease this burden placed upon them. I won't speak of the deafening silence at the last meeting but praise that senses came through and will prevail this evening. Good leadership is knowing when a mistake has been made and you can turn it around. I thank you for not letting partisanship and (for some of you )an altered understanding of my district take away from it's place and value in Anaheim. Our students need to be uplifted and celebrated. This Resolution is a good addition to the many accolades our students need during their time to relish their accomplishments. Item #23 Please consider holding town hall meetings on this complex matter. The public needs to understand your reasoning to why you would place this controversial item on the agenda. There are many factors to discuss for the safety and welfare of students. You must consider that parents and families need to feel that these places will be far away from schools, that this doesn't open up opportunities for students to get hurt and that some revenue will go to educating our youth about underage recreational activity. Again, I stress opening up discussion on this matter. The city and families need to weigh in for their understanding. Thank you Annemarie Randle-Trejo Anaheim Union HSD Board of Trustees Jennifer L.

I am writing to inform you that as a high school senior I am very sad and disappointed after what COVID-19 has done to the end of my senior year. I was really looking forward to so many upcoming events such as graduation, my music recitals, spending time with my family and friends, attending college on campus, and so much more. It isn't fair knowing that we as the class of 2020 won't get to experience the end of our senior year, we've been waiting for this moment ever since birth and knowing that our moment is being taken away feels like a waste. I would like May 30th to become senior day, it would be better than not having a celebration for the class of 2020. We should at least be rewarded for all of the hard work that we've put into for the last 18 years. It would definitely lift up every senior's mood for this to happen, if not, then our moment would just turn out to become a dream instead of a goal. I'm currently a musician and this pandemic has impacted me so much, my recent recitals have been cancelled and it made me feel extremely sad. However, as a musician I've been trying my best to cope with this pandemic with the help of music, my art is the only thing that I'm highly connected to. I've had much more time to spend time at home practicing on my instruments such as the piano, the guitar, and the violin. With the piano being my main instrument, I've improved somewhat on the guitar and the violin. I appreciate the time you have taken to read my comments and look forward to tomorrow's meeting. Best regards, Alexis Chavez "As a musician, I chose to let the music become my voice. As I'm playing the music I'm simply expressing my own thoughts and emotions towards others." Jennifer L.

David Klawe, West Anaheim Resident. Once again, I would I like to thank the Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tem, Councilmembers, the Interim City Manager (and congratulations to Greg Garcia for his promotion) and all the city staff for not just working through this crisis, but how everyone is reaching out to the residents of Anaheim to help them get through this crisis. In regards to Item #20. The proposed sale of Angel Stadium to SRB Management Company. I am all in favor of the sale and the faster time period to complete it. I would like to remind you of the comments I made in December. We need to protect that $325 Million and make sure to save the bulk of the money for use city-wide, So we need to look to buy some land for a nice public park in the area, that can be used not only on game days, but year round. As for affordable housing, I feel it is better to place funds in the Affordable Housing Trust to be used on projects city wide, where we can stretch those dollars to be used for the most bang for the city's buck. Of course, we will need to use some of the funds to replace the TOT funds we are losing. But we also need to use some of the funds to make city wide approvements. As for Item #23 and related items expected on the next council agenda. I am personally not in favor of Marijuana sales in our city. Both Santa Ana and Costa Mesa are nearby, and have retail sales, plus most residents can have it delivered, so residents do have access to purchase it, if they want. But I am worried about Item 23, plus how the Tax portion will be handled if passed. The first issue is the proposed 20 Retail Locations, and how they are allocated. I have used the phrase, For All of Anaheim, North to South, East to West, and I think it applies here. We need to make sure the locations are spread out, so I would like to propose a limit of no more than 4 locations in a council district, to insure that all of Anaheim gets locations, and they are not clumped together in the same area. I also am worried about the impacts to our neighborhoods, so I would like to find a way to do that, with the minimum of increasing the 600 feet requirement to 1,200 to 2,000 feet away from of any schools, day care centers, youth centers, public libraries or public parks. Ideally, it would be treated like how Adult Bookstores are restricted to Business Parks in some cities. Next are the Illegal Stores that we have all across Anaheim. Alas, the Anaheim Police Department knows where they are, and do their best to close the down with help of city staff, the City Attorney office, Public Utilities and the court system. But they still operate, as they know how hard it is to close them down. We need to find a way to ensure they close, and remain closed, except those who would operate with a city permit, if the Tax Measure passes in November. So how much do we tax, and where do those funds go? We have the Tax Schedules for Santa Ana and Costa Mesa, Santa Ana seems to be around the average in the state, while Costa Mesa's is much lower. So do we tax more than Santa Ana, the same as Santa Ana, somewhere between what Santa Ana charges and what Costa Mesa charges? Personally, I feel it belongs in the same category as Liquor and Cigarettes, with a Medical Exception, or lower rate. So that says we should tax high. Now, where should the funds go? First is to develop and pay for a dedicated team of APD officers and other staff whose only mission is to close illegal dispensaries. Also fund programs that deal with drug/alcohol abuse, anything from medical programs to pursuing drug dealers, and youth outreach programs to try and make sure those under 21 do not use any drugs, including Marijuana, plus Alcohol and Cigarettes. And then, any leftover money should be dedicated to community benefits, such as road improvements, Brookhurst Street from Ball to Crescent as an example. So while I would prefer Item #23 to be defeated, if it isn't, we need to make sure our communities are protected by spreading the locations all over the city, and restricting the locations where they can operate. Once again, to everyone helping out during this COVID-19 crisis, thank you! Here is hoping we can get the city reopen and welcoming visitors as quickly as possible. Sent-. 12 agenda.

Respectfully, I would urge you to support Agenda Item 20 on the May 12th City Council meeting agenda. It will speed up the benefits of that agreement. The COVID-19 crisis has interfered with the completion of the site inspection segment of the contract.

Furthermore, the team will also speed-up the submission of its Master Plan for the site to May 30th, 2020 - rather than sometime in 2021.

O Jimmy Fregosi (Jr) was a friend of mine growing up and subsequently many of our friends as teenagers were bat boys. I can't tell you how many games I have been too, but it's hundreds in my 55 years on this planet. My cousin also played for the team for a brief time back in the early 90's. Many of my friends, as well as my company have suites or season tickets. We're lifelong fans! I bought the scrap metal from the remodel (from a football stadium back to a baseball only stadium) 23 years ago and I've attend many charity events and tours there. Think of all the extra -curricular events that happen there! Concerts, Charity Events/Walks, Harvest Crusade, Supercross, Monster Truck, RV and Car Shows, etc. The Angels Stadium is a HUB for s0000 much!! It was bad enough when the Angels were re- named "LA" Angels of Anaheim (so ludicrous), but it would be an absolute tragedy for the Angels to leave Anaheim... leaving so many lifelong fans behind! So many people are engrained in this community... just like I am, please don't let the Angels leave... that would take a piece of my heart and history away from me! I'm proud of my ANGELS and the unity they bring to our community!! It would take years and years to develop a new fan base elsewhere... that's not fair to the players ... or the fans!

The team committed to staying in Anaheim until at least 2050 and agreed to purchase Angel Stadium from the city at a market -rate price of $325 million - getting the city out of the stadium business. We urge you to support Agenda Item 20 on the May 12th City Council meeting agenda by sending an email. It will speed up the benefits of that agreement. The COVID-19 crisis has interfered with the completion of the site inspection segment of the contract. In exchange for moving that deadline from June 30th to September 30th, the Angels agree to move up their Third Deposit payment to the city of $10 million to October 2nd of this year - instead of sometime in 2021-23. Furthermore, the team will also speed-up submittal of its Master Plan for the site to May 30th, 2020 - rather than sometime in 2021. This agreement provides the city with $10 million in badly needed revenue sooner rather than later. And it quickens the timeline for the development of the stadium site, which will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity and tax revenue.

I also believe that talking to the Angels and asking to change the name back to "Anaheim Angels" would help to get a lot more of our residence on board with this agreement. This would also squash the negativity saying that they're not proud to be from our city and not truly invested in our community... Nothing could be further from the truth and they do so much for all of the nonprofit organizations and school children each and every day. Nothing says Anaheim quite like "The Big A and lighting up that halo with every win! Thank you for your consideration of my suggestion.

The goal of this amendment is to ensure that Anaheim collects its appropriate TOT for hotel bookings made via online travel companies (OTCs). I support this amendment and encourage you to support it tonight. This amendment to the city's TOT rules will finally begin to address the longstanding issue between and among the hotel operators, OTCs, and the City over the responsibility for collection of and payment of TOT. As you know, TOT revenue is a major contributor to Anaheim's General Fund, and together with other revenues generated within the Anaheim Resort, comprises nearly half of the funds the city uses to provide services like public safety, infrastructure, parks, community services, and more, that Anaheim residents and businesses alike rely on every day. Hotel operators in Anaheim are proud to be a part of this city and this community, and proud to be a contributor to the success that is Anaheim. Moving forward, we are happy to work with the City and the OTCs to ensure that the City of Anaheim is paid the proper TOT that is due from Anaheim's visitors. Tonight's proposed amendment will start to make that happen, and I urge you to support its passage.

TOT and Anaheim Resort district revenues comprise nearly half of the funds the city uses to provide services like public safety, infrastructure, parks, community services, and more, that Anaheim residents and businesses rely on every day. Hotel operators in Anaheim are proud to be apart of this city and this community. They want to contribute back to the city to ensure Anaheim is successful.

Thank you for your consideration and for distributing it to the council. Regards, Donovan Rinker -Morris May 12, 2020 The Honorable Harry Sidhu Mayor of Anaheim, and the City Council of the City of Anaheim 200 S. Anaheim Boulevard, 7th Floor Anaheim, CA 92805 Via email topubliccomment@anaheim.net Re: Item #22, in Support of Amending and Extending Ordinance No. 6482 Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council: I write in my personal capacity as a staff attorney with the Public Law Center of Orange County regarding the Emergency Ordinance under consideration for extension by the Anaheim City Council at the meeting scheduled for May 12, 2020. We are a non-profit pro bono law firm that provides access to justice for low-income and vulnerable residents in Orange County. In our Housing and Homelessness Prevention Unit, we represent certain low-income families in housing -related matters and advocate for sensible strategies to end homelessness in Orange County. We also collaborate with community organizations, statewide advocates, and law firms to push Orange County jurisdictions to create and maintain effective housing policies for lower- income working families. As noted in my previous letter to you on this point, Uncodified (Urgency) Ordinance No. 6482 provided exceptionally minimal protections against eviction in Anaheim. In the six weeks since it was adopted, evictions have proceeded for Anaheim residents, albeit mostly without the use of legal processes. As I warned then, landlords continue to issue pretextual notices intended to drive tenants from their homes at precisely the most dangerous time. The financial hardship to landlords may be considerable, but a resident who loses housing faces actual death. That said, Ordinance No. 6482 as originally drafted imposed harsh burdens upon Anaheim residents. Each of the three requirements in Section 2(D) should be amended, both to bring the ordinance into compliance with statewide orders, and to better protect tenants in Anaheim. I. The Notice Provision Must Be Increased With respect to the notice provision, Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-37-20, item (1)(b), provides a notice period "within a reasonable period of time afterwards not to exceed 7 days." The term as used in the Executive Order is a minimum standard in California, at least with respect to the items expressed therein. The text of Anaheim Ordinance No. 6482, by contrast, provides that a tenant must "[n]otify the landlord in writing before the day rent is due that the tenant has a covered reason for delayed payment." Should Anaheim retain such wording and attempt to reduce the notice period from the statewide minimum, it will confuse both landlords and tenants and increase legal and other costs to enforce the laws even in such cases where resolution is possible. II. The Verifiable Documents Provision Must Be Amended Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-37-20 provides that "documentation may be provided to the landlord no later than the time upon payment of back -due rent." Section 2(D), Item ii of Ordinance 6482 does not specify a time for the provision of "verifiable documentation." It must be amended to insert such a provision to at least render Anaheim's ordinance comparable to the governor's order. In practice, some landlords in Anaheim demand "verifiable documentation" immediately, even if the landlords themselves have had longstanding oral leases with their tenants and never leased pursuant to any sort of application. Master tenants have similarly demanded documentation from subtenants, and other arrangements create an array of friction. Anaheim residents who earn their living providing services for pay directly to other residents, such as cleaning, landscaping and the like, may not have any employer to produce `verifiable documentation.' Still other residents dependent upon child support payments or with other family arrangements depend on persons who have lost income to make their rent; sometimes, those persons are unable or unwilling to produce verifiable documentation. For these reasons, Anaheim should amend or remove this requirement from residents. III. Partial Payment Provision Should be Removed Section 2(D), item iii, required any tenant seeking to take advantage of Anaheim's ordinance "Pay the portion of rent that the tenant is able to pay." By contrast, Executive Order N-37-20 provides "Nothing in this Order shall prevent a tenant who is able to pay all or some of the rent due from paying that rent in a timely manner or relieve a tenant of liability for unpaid rent." Again, a contradiction between the Anaheim and the statewide executive order results in confusion for both landlords and tenants. IV. Conclusion The Governor's Executive Order N-37-20 merely delays evictions, rather than barring them entirely. Anaheim has the power and authority to go beyond the governor's limitations and protect our residents. Yet as originally drafted, Anaheim's evictions ordinance was far less protective to residents than any similar ordinance by a major California city, including Fresno, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside. The cities with major tourism industries in that list offered considerably stronger protections than did Anaheim, because maintaining the residents who provide crucial services inside the cities was regarded as an imperative to actually restore those industries when that becomes feasible. Among major cities in California, only Bakersfield appears to have opted not to extend any evictions protection to its residents, who must rely entirely upon the governor's order, but the economic base of Bakersfield is utterly distinct from Anaheim, and more akin to the cities with large tourism industries that opted to extend more protections to their residents. Anaheim should renew an evictions ordinance. While it may be tempting to conclude that the crisis is past, the mechanisms that eased some burdens in April 2020 are no longer in palce. Federal stimulus support received in April will not be renewed. Unemployment, for those eligible to receive it, will still not suffice for many families to meet their rent obligations. In the face of reports of increasing cases of Covid-19 in Anaheim, and in the face of new reports of increasing deaths for homeless people in Orange County, it is appropriate for a city to take such steps as it can to enable residents to stay in their homes to mitigate this crisis. For these reasons, I urge you to pass an ordinance that amends and improves upon the original evictions moratorium ordinance.

May 12, 2020 The Honorable Harry Sidhu Mayor of Anaheim, and the City Council of the City of Anaheim 200 S. Anaheim Boulevard, 7th Floor Anaheim, CA 92805 Via email topubliccomment@anaheim.net Re: item #22, in Support of Amending and Extending Ordinance No. 6482 Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council: I write in my personal capacity as a staff attorney with the Public Law Center of Orange County regarding the Emergency Ordinance under consideration for extension by the Anaheim City Council at the meeting scheduled for May 12, 2020. We are a non-profit pro bono law firm that provides access to justice for low-income and vulnerable residents in Orange County. In our Housing and Homelessness Prevention Unit, we represent certain low-income families in housing -related matters and advocate for sensible strategies to end homelessness in Orange County. We also collaborate with community organizations, statewide advocates, and law firms to push Orange County jurisdictions to create and maintain effective housing policies for lower- income working families. As noted in my previous letter to you on this point, Uncodified (Urgency) Ordinance No. 6482 provided exceptionally minimal protections against eviction in Anaheim. In the six weeks since it was adopted, evictions have proceeded for Anaheim residents, albeit mostly without the use of legal processes. As I warned then, landlords continue to issue pretextual notices intended to drive tenants from their homes at precisely the most dangerous time. The financial hardship to landlords may be considerable, but a resident who loses housing faces actual death. That said, Ordinance No. 6482 as originally drafted imposed harsh burdens upon Anaheim residents. Each of the three requirements in Section 2(D) should be amended, both to bring the ordinance into compliance with statewide orders, and to better protect tenants in Anaheim. I. The Notice Provision Must Be Increased With respect to the notice provision, Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-37-20, item (1)(b), provides a notice period "within a reasonable period of time afterwards not to exceed 7 days." The term as used in the Executive Order is a minimum standard in California, at least with respect to the items expressed therein. The text of Anaheim Ordinance No. 6482, by 601 Civic Center Drive West • Santa Ana, CA 92701-4002 - (714) 541-1010 • Fax (714) 541-5157 Item #22, Extending Ordinance No. 6482 May 12, 2020 p. 2 of 2 contrast, provides that a tenant must "[n]otify the landlord in writing before the day rent is due that the tenant has a covered reason for delayed payment." Should Anaheim retain such wording and attempt to reduce the notice period from the statewide minimum, it will confuse both landlords and tenants and increase legal and other costs to enforce the laws even in such cases where resolution is possible. II. The Verifiable Documents Provision Must Be Amended Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-37-20 provides that "documentation may be provided to the landlord no later than the time upon payment of back -due rent." Section 2(D), Item ii of Ordinance 6482 does not specify a time for the provision of "verifiable documentation." It must be amended to insert such a provision to at least render Anaheim's ordinance comparable to the governor's order. In practice, some landlords in Anaheim demand "verifiable documentation" immediately, even if the landlords themselves have had longstanding oral leases with their tenants and never leased pursuant to any sort of application. Master tenants have similarly demanded documentation from subtenants, and other arrangements create an array of friction. Anaheim residents who earn their living providing services for pay directly to other residents, such as cleaning, landscaping and the like, may not have any employer to produce `verifiable documentation.' Still other residents dependent upon child support payments or with other family arrangements depend on persons who have lost income to make their rent; sometimes, those persons are unable or unwilling to produce verifiable documentation. For these reasons, Anaheim should amend or remove this requirement from residents. III. Partial Payment Provision Should be Removed Section 2(D), item iii, required any tenant seeking to take advantage of Anaheim's ordinance "Pay the portion of rent that the tenant is able to pay." By contrast, Executive Order N-37-20 provides "Nothing in this Order shall prevent a tenant who is able to pay all or some of the rent due from paying that rent in a timely manner or relieve a tenant of liability for unpaid rent." Again, a contradiction between the Anaheim and the statewide executive order results in confusion for both landlords and tenants. IV. Conclusion The Governor's Executive Order N-37-20 merely delays evictions, rather than barring them entirely. Anaheim has the power and authority to go beyond the governor's limitations and protect our residents. Yet as originally drafted, Anaheim's evictions ordinance was far less protective to residents than any similar ordinance by a major California city, including Fresno, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside. The cities with major tourism industries in that list offered considerably stronger protections than did Anaheim, because maintaining the residents who provide crucial services inside the cities was regarded as an imperative to actually restore those industries when that becomes feasible. Among major cities in California, only Bakersfield appears to have opted not to extend any evictions protection to its residents, who must rely entirely upon the governor's order, but the economic base of Bakersfield is utterly 601 Civic Center Drive West • Santa Ana, CA 92701-4002 • (714) 541-1010 • Fax (714) 541-5157 Item #22, Extending Ordinance No. 6482 May 12, 2020 p. 2 of 2 distinct from Anaheim, and more akin to the cities with large tourism industries that opted to extend more protections to their residents. Anaheim should renew an evictions ordinance. While it may be tempting to conclude that the crisis is past, the mechanisms that eased some burdens in April 2020 are no longer in palce. Federal stimulus support received in April will not be renewed. Unemployment, for those eligible to receive it, will still not suffice for many families to meet their rent obligations. In the face of reports of increasing cases of Covid-19 in Anaheim, and in the face of new reports of increasing deaths for homeless people in Orange County, it is appropriate for a city to take such steps as it can to enable residents to stay in their homes to mitigate this crisis. For these reasons, I urge you to pass an ordinance that amends and improves upon the original evictions moratorium ordinance.

At this time I am writing to share my thoughts in support of these appreciated measures. Cannabis is a beneficial medicine for so many people in need. At this time in Orange County with a population of 3.2 million, there is only the city of Santa Ana that provides safe access to their community. Right now patients in Anaheim must travel to this city to procure their medicine. For some patients, this is not a feasible option. With legal access, Anaheim would be able to control the products available to ensure safe and responsible measures as well as dictate where these services would be offered within the city. You would find areas that would not impact schools, churches, or high traffic public areas as you see fit Overall being able to support the health and wellness needs of the residents and provide funds from a new source of taxes may be considered a valuable move for the City of Anaheim. I do support cannabis for Anaheim as it illegal as voted in 2016 with prop. 64 as a recreational source. Thank you for your time.

I am strongly opposed to permitting such Marijuana Dispensaries in Anaheim. Marijuana use is not safe, especially for our teens and young adults. Making marijuana readily accessible in our city will make it easier for teens to obtain as well. Please consider the following from an online WEBmd article: "Teens are more inclined to try pot today than they have been in decades, with 24% of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders already using it and one in four high school seniors saying they would try it or use it more if it were legal in their state, according to a 2018 national survey. More parents are also using pot around their kids, either recreationally or medicinally, and perceptions of risk among adults and youths have been declining for years, research shows. That concerns Seth Ammerman, MD, a clinical professor in the division of adolescent medicine at Stanford University. He says that while cannabis can be relatively safe and therapeutic for adults when used responsibly, its hazards -- particularly for young people -- are real. "What is benign for the parent is not necessarily benign for the adolescent," he says. The brain is still taking shape well into the 20s, with the prefrontal cortex -- the region involved in decision-making, planning, problem -solving, and controlling impulses -- developing last. Using marijuana during this vulnerable time can affect that development, research suggests. For instance, brain imaging studies show that people who started using marijuana regularly before age 16 have less developed white matter, the nerve fibers that transmit messages from one area of the brain to another. One recent animal study showed that exposure to the equivalent of about a joint a day during adolescence can stunt the growth of key brain circuits that affect the ability to make decisions later on." 'It appears to alter how the brain is wired, and then you are stuck with it,' says lead study author Jamie Roitman, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. People who start using marijuana frequently as teens also behave more impulsively and tend to score worse on cognitive tests than non-users or those who started using marijuana later. A few small studies have shown they are more prone to depression and psychosis." (https://www.webmd.com/parenting/features/teens- vulnerable-marijuana.) The CDC also says that the brain is not fully developed until an individual's mid -twenties and Marijuana use during this period may harm the brain. (https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/factsheets/teens.htm) The 2014 Retail Marijuana Public Health Advisory Committee's public statements regarding Marijuana use are additionally alarming. Please see https://coepht.colorado.gov/marijuana-use-and-your-health. And, the harm is not limited to teens and young adults. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment states all ages have the potential to be at risk for harmful health effects resulting from marijuana use or abuse. (https://coepht.colorado.gov/marijuana-use-and-your-health.) Furthermore, "Many people who have voted for legalization thought they were talking about the marijuana of the 1960s to 1980s when the THC content was less than 2%. However, without any clear guidelines or regulations from government officials, the cannabis industry has taken a page from the tobacco and alcohol industries' play book and developed strains of marijuana and concentrated marijuana products with much higher concentrations of THC, the psychoactive component that causes addiction. The more potent a drug is, the stronger the possibility of addiction and the more likely the person will continue to purchase and use the product." (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6312155/) The facts are sobering. Please don't make Marijuana more accessible. At least in respect to our teens and young adults, it could damage them for life. Respectfully, Carole Nunes Fong Anaheim, 92807 Jennifer L.

This is alarming to me having spent years working on the streets of this great city with gang unit police officers and other law enforcement, and seeing firsthand the damage drugs do to our citizens and communities. Some may not see the harm in cannabis use but it is a well proven fact that marijuana users go on to experiment with harder drugs. Among many things to consider: • Marijuana use, particularly among youth, greatly increases the risk for mental illnesses, and can be detrimental to a young person's social, psychological, and intellectual development. • No other city in the world that is host to a Disney theme park will allow cannabis to be sold in their city. • Of the 34 cities in Orange County, only 2 have legalized cannabis sales. That means over 90% have forbidden this type of industry. Residents of economically disadvantaged neighborhoods where these dispensaries often land, and who are often assured that taxes from dispensaries will be put back into the community, rarely see the benefits. They see only increased hospitalizations, they shoulder the burden of an increase in the war on drugs in their neighborhood and they experience many additional challenges to their already difficult lives. Please consider the quality of life for Anaheim's youth and families as it relates to this decision.

I represent thousands of cannabis consumers as the Executive Director of Orange County NORML since 2003. NORML is the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and is celebrating 50 years of advocacy this year. In 2014 our PAC successfully qualified the cannabis initiative in Santa Ana that eventually led to the cities licensing of cannabis dispensaries. I have been an Anaheim resident and my family still resides there. I have been witness to the dozens unlicensed dispensaries that have operated in the city over the years and currently operating. These unlicensed dispensaries do not require testing or taxes and bring no benefit to localities and consumers. The City of Santa had hundreds of illegal dispensaries and only after regulating were they finally able to get rid of these unwanted unregulated businesses. Without regulation and dispensaries in Anaheim residents will continue to use unlicensed dispensaries. Your residents will have access to untested cannabis products which can make them ill. These businesses make tens of thousands of dollars a day without paying a single dollar in taxes. The need for cannabis is not going to diminish and the responsible action of a city facing such a demand is to regulate and control the business that is already ongoing in your city I would like to advise, in cities where the cannabis tax is too high consumers will continue to choose the black market, especially in this time where people's financial future is unknown. Please consider the impact on your residents and consumers when setting your tax rates. I respectfully ask for your votes to pass the zoning ordinance and allow the residents to approve of a tax measure in November.

Theresa Bass From: Matt George Sent: Monday, May 11, 2020 5:19 PM To: Council Subject: A Teacher's Opinion on Cannabis Sales in Anaheim Thank you for this opportunity to address this upcoming topic that city Council will be voting on. My name is Matthew George and I'm a resident in Anaheim for about 20 years now. I havl have two girls that currently attend school at Bonita wars Elementary school in Anaheim and Sunkist Elementary in Anaheim. I own a home in Anaheim and I'm currently considering upgrading my house with a big renovation. One concern for me to consider staying living in Anaheim is the crime and neighborhood. As a teacher that works in Riverside I've have seen firsthand what the sale of cannabis is doing to the whole culture in school. Kids are constantly vaping in coming into class with really bad behavior. This was not a problem before the introduction of vaping marijuana. The work ethic has gone down considerably within the last couple years. Students are not motivated near as much as they were a few years ago. I know that this directly correlates with the huge number of students they have started smoking marijuana easily and without detection through the different devices that is offered. I know I don't quite understand everything but it's very clear that the city Council has already considered this with the verbiage that is on the website. Stating that it's becoming hard to keep the illegal dispensaries closeD down and that your expending energy and resources to try to close them down. I think the main reason that you're considering do you have the marijuana shops at all it's for revenue. If the reason to expend energy and resources is important you keep doing it. My question is at what point do you sell your soul for a little bit more money? It's ridiculous. I'm not going to stay living here in Anaheim if I see crime go up. At what point is it going to be the next drug and it's going to be harder than marijuana? We all know that the marijuana in the amount that people are vaping is considerably stronger than What it was before the vaping started. If nothing more consider the youth that will have much more convenient access to and will start or continue using this high dosage of marijuana which will mess up their brains as Anaheim PD has told my wife who is a teacher at Anaheim Brookhurst Junior High at a meeting with them. Kids brains cannot handle this stuff. It's destroying their brains. Just ask the Anaheim PD that actually give presentations to teachers at schools in Anaheim. It's unbelievable that Anaheim would put money above the safety of the residence. If people want marijuana and it's legal let him get it somewhere else not Anaheim.

My name is Shelly McKay and I'm a Co-founder of Kannabis Works, which is a licensed cannabis dispensary in Santa Ana. We have been open for two years and are grateful that we have been deemed essential during the current times. We have a large amount of clients who use cannabis as a wellness tool for a variety of health conditions. We deem it necessary too. The state of California currently has 660 licenses for Storefront Retail. The state of CA currently has 39 million people. At this time, safe access to cannabis is not available to all Californians who voted in favor of Prop 64. There are many cities in the state who have opted out. Sadly, because there are not enough retailers in the state, people choose to go to an illicit dispensary which does not require to have clean and tested products like the legal industry. I am an advocate for cannabis and I would like to see that more cities allow for cannabis retail so that we can bring quality and clean, tested products to the people we serve.

Permitting cannabis business makes Anaheim complicit in the the negative impact of marijuana on the health and safety of our community. Replacing lost tax dollars is no excuse to help promote a drug in our community with serious consequences for us all. Consider the following from the attached article at the end of this e-mail: Top medical journals show marijuana can cause or worsen psychosis Teenagers who regularly smoke are 3 times more likely to develop schizophrenia A 2017 Nation Academy of medicine study found marijuana use likely to increase the risk of schizophrenia and social anxiety disorder When schizophrenics use drugs their risk of violence skyrockets and cannabis is the drug of choice for psychotic patients The US is the Western country with the most cannabis use AND worst opioid problem, debunking the theory it can stem opioid use. We already have a homeless problem rife with psychosis and drug abuse sucking up our tax dollars and disrupting our neighborhoods. Why would we encourage a business that at the minimum impairs thinking and at the worst increases the risk for schizophrenia and violence in vulnerable populations? Focus instead on the hard work of getting the city up and running and applying budget cuts across the board; NOT merely threatening to gut police/ fire departments. Start by eliminating the budget "wish list" developed by each district. Respectfully Susan and Dennis Sorenson - District 5 "Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence"!

Get Outlook for 10S Theresa Bass From: Sent: To: Subject: Dear Council Members, SAF Lopez Monday, May 11, 2020 3:57 PM Council Cannabis I live on in Anaheim near Ball and Western. I'm writing today to express my support for cannabis licensing in our city. While the cannabis industry was recently recognized by Governor Newsom as an essential business during the current public health crisis, the ban in Anaheim prevents safe and convenient access to cannabis for patients and adult -use consumers and denies the city much needed jobs and revenue. I have had to drive a far distance due to cannabis not being available here in Anaheim. Illicit Shops around here are terrible and are dangerous. Licensing cannabis businesses will allow the city to finally address the numerous illicit shops and grows in our communities. The only way we can improve our current situation is by adopting thoughtful cannabis regulations that provide oversight and accountability for operators. Products sold illegally are untested and can be very unsafe. Bringing city oversight to cannabis sales, which are happening no matter what, is the only way to protect Anaheim residents and displace the illicit market. Finally, I ask that you give due consideration to the economic benefits that licensing these businesses will provide, especially in these uncertain times. Other cities in California reap significant tax revenue from cannabis, while their residents have access to the good -paying jobs that retail locations, manufacturers, grow operations, and testing labs provide. Instead of these tax dollars and jobs flowing into our neighboring communities, we should keep them here in Anaheim. For these reasons, I ask that you please move forward with a plan to legalize, tax and regulate commercial cannabis in our city. Thank you for your consideration.

To put it simply, you are in charge of making these laws to "protect its citizens" but you cannot protect everyone and people are going to do it whether you legalize it or not. You are putting too much focus on a non- violent entity you cannot control and ignoring the more complex and dangerous entities you also cannot control (i.e. gang violence, child abuse, rape, assault, murder, disease, crime).

Cannabis in Anaheim To be clear, I do not support the legalization of marijuana in Anaheim and I am content with the existing regulations that the Anaheim Municipal Code has in place prohibiting the location of marijuana -related uses in our community. However, I do recognize that, with the passage of Proposition 64 in 2016, California residents made their feelings well-known as it relates to the legalization of marijuana and permission of the location of dispensaries throughout our State. On a local scale, 51% of Anaheim residents supported Proposition 64. Further, I am aware of the City's need to identify alternative sources of revenue — particularly in light of the ongoing economic challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given these sentiments, I am keenly aware that the opinions and desires of the majority could again prevail in the coming election and pass the initiative to permit marijuana -related uses in Anaheim. I am hopeful that this will not be the case. In the event the community chooses to to allow these uses in our community, I would strongly support the application of the regulations that are set forth in the ordinance before you this evening in order to mitigate the impact of marijuana -related uses on our community as much as possible. I also want to ensure that the burden of supporting marijuana -related uses is distributed equitably among all of the City's Council Districts — and that District -1 is not unfairly and unduly impacted more than any other District. While I do not support the location of marijuana -related uses in Anaheim and do not support any amendments to the Anaheim Municipal Code to relax existing prohibitions, I can recognize the potential possibility that the community may feel otherwise. In that event, I simply want to ensure that these uses have as benign of an impact on our community as possible through the establishment of measured zoning standards and restrictive use requirements.

Mayor Sidhu's "personal finances" will be affected if cannabis businesses are legalized within the city. Because Rohan lives on his father's estate, he undoubtedly pays rent and other expenses to help defray the costs of living there. Demand for his services might increase if cannabis businesses are legalized, thus benefiting Mayor Sidhu's "personal finances." I trust you'll make the right decision in this matter.

Roberts Anaheim, California 92804-4294 Public Comment From: Mitchell Caldwell Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2020 11:08 AM To: Public Comment Subject: Public Comment from the Anaheim Neighborhood Association attached Attachments: Cannabis Letter.pdf The Anaheim Neighborhood Association looks at all issues from the perspective of how those issues affect residents and neighborhoods. The most recent topic of concern is the proposed legalization of cannabis based businesses in Anaheim. Regardless of your opinion on the use and legalization of cannabis there are several aspects of this proposal that are of particular concern to residents. The first and most impactful of these is the fact that cannabis and cannabis based businesses are illegal at the federal level. Because of this all cannabis related businesses are blocked from participating in the federally insured banking system. As a result these businesses are "all cash" operations. This creates a very dangerous and potentially lethal situation in the cities where cannabis based businesses are allowed. Retail sites housing large amounts of cash and marijuana, usually heavily guarded by private security personnel, are the perfect setting for criminal, dangerous, and often violent activities. One of the arguments being used to promote the legalizing of cannabis based businesses is that they generate significant and much needed tax revenue for the cities that allow them. But at what cost? Because of the costs added by the high tax rate on marijuana, consumers increasingly patronize illegal, unlicensed businesses. With illega businesses, operating virtually undetected, existing side by side with legal ones it becomes more difficult, time consuming, and costly for cities to deal with the illegal operations. The enforcement costs far outweigh the increase in tax revenue. A very short time ago the legalization of "safe and sane" fireworks was promoted by the fireworks industry as a way for cities to generate additional revenue that could be used offset the cost of enforcement addressing illegal fireworks. That obviously didn't work. Who really benefitted from this legalization? The fireworks industry, most notably TNT Fireworks who spent $150,000 to promote the legalization of fireworks in Anaheim and who, upon passage of that ordinance, was granted an exclusive franchise to sell fireworks in Anaheim. Did your neighborhood benefit from this? Let's look at the staff report and the proposed ordinance being presented to the city council and ask some important questions. Why are we considering permitting these businesses in Anaheim to begin with? According to the staff report the sole purpose is to "promote diverse economic and employment opportunities". So once again we see revenue is the prime motivator and not the best interests of residents and neighborhoods. Where are these businesses going to be located? Again from the staff report and proposed ordinance: "No Commercial Cannabis Facility shall be located within six hundred (000) feet of any school (whether public, private, or charter, including pre- school, transitional kindergarten, and K-12), or any licensed commercial day care center, youth center, park or public library." They can locate on "any parcel that is designated by the General Plan for Industrial land use and is located with the Industrial (1) Zone of Development Areas 1 and 2 of the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan". Oh, and of course "Cannabis Retailers are prohibited in the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Area and the Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Area". Would you want a business that is deemed unfit to be located near schools, day care, parks, or libraries near you? It suggests to us that some very significant problems are anticipated by the city. "Don't worry, they won't be in your neighborhood so why do you care?" Because they will increase demand for city services like police, fire, and code enforcement which will result in diminished services available for our neighborhoods. And because they will be in our city and that affects our neighborhoods. Let's put consideration for residents and neighborhoods first. Regardless of your opinion on the legalized sale and use of marijuana it is clear that until existing conditions from the federal level the existence of cannabis related businesses are detrimental to the quality of life in our neighborhoods and our city. On that basis we strongly oppose allowing cannabis based businesses in Anaheim. We hope you agree and will voice your opinion to our elected officials. Send your comments to council@anaheim.net.

As you well know, Anaheim is currently facing many issues. We do not need to invite yet another. Legal dispensaries will bring serious problems to our community. Since the legalization of cannabis, those using it have not done well to adhere to the parameters of the legalized usage. As residents, we endure users openly smoking while driving, while walking down the street, and while loitering in our public parks. The aforementioned users do not care how they are negatively affecting others. For example, the children at Palm Lane Elementary often have to learn with their classroom doors closed, so as to avoid the heavy smell of marijuana from the adjacent park. Our young children can now easily identify the smell of "weed." Bringing legal dispensaries into Anaheim is in direct conflict with the image we, as a community, have cultivated over the years. Anaheim is a resort. Anaheim is a mecca for tourism and conventions. Anaheim is the home to the original Disneyland, the happiest place on earth. Anaheim has a big city vibe with a hometown feel. Anaheim is a truly unique city. We do not need to compromise our image. Anaheim is not dependent on the funds that are allegedly created by the legal cannabis dispensary industry proposed for Anaheim. Rather, these dispensaries will cost our residents and devalue our quality of life. I have attached a link for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) which shows their credible warnings on the usage of marijuana. https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/nas/index.html. While I understand that there are those in need of medical marijuana, those in need of cannabis for medicinal purposes are able to get a prescription from their doctor to fill at a pharmacy. Please save us from making a decision that will forever change the fabric of Anaheim. Please be on the right side of the history of Anaheim, the city we both love. Respectfully, I implore you to vote NO on allowing legal cannabis dispensaries in Anaheim.

As a previous small business owner in the City of Anaheim I would have loved to have had a Legal Cannabis dispensary in my shopping center. These are my reasons why: 1. Increased foot traffic supporting regional shopping centers and neighboring businesses. 2. The typical patron isn't a lazy stoner. In fact it's completely the opposite. As a sales rep for Old Pal I've had great conversations with grandparents, lawyers, teachers, City workers, and athletes who attest to the benefits of cannabis versus prescribed pharmaceuticals. 3. The amount of tax revenue that can be created is a great way to reinvest it back into the community of Anaheim (hopefully for schools and youth programs). To end this public comment I'd like to advise on setting a lower tax rate as the city of Lake Elsinore did versus the high tax rate found in Santa Ana and Long Beach. A low tax rate will drive sales through the roof and give the business opportunities to employ more locals and to provide the city with a wealth of dollars to utilize.

My name is Dr. Jose Paolo Magcalas and I am the President of the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Elementary School District. I am writing because I am concerned with regards to the following ordinance that will be voted on, in tonight's Anaheim City Council meeting: ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA ADDING CHAPTER 4.110 TO TITLE 4 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE REGULATING CANNABIS DISTRIBUTION, MANUFACTURING, CULTIVATION, RETAIL SALE, DELIVERIES, AND TESTING LABORATORIES, AND REPEALING CHAPTERS 4.20, 4.21, AND 4.100 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE (TO TAKE EFFECT ONLY UPONPASSAGE OFA CANNABIS TAXMEASUREAT THE NOVEMBER 3, 2020 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION) Under. 020. Location and Separation Requirements (page 15), it states: .0202 No Commercial Cannabis Facility shall be located within six hundred (600) feet of any school (whether public, private, or charter, including pre- school, transitional kindergarten, and K-12), or any licensed commercial day care center, youth center, park or public library. Six hundred feet is NOT adequate enough for the protection of the children of Anaheim. I know that in the city of Santa Ana, commercial cannabis facilities can be located within a thousand feet of any school. With that said, my ask is that we change this particular section to one thousand feet before this ordinance is even considered. In addition, page 6 of the ordinance states: .100 Commercial Cannabis Operating Agreement: shall mean an agreement entered into by and between the City and a Commercial Cannabis Facility governing the operation of the Facility which shall, among other things, specify terms for local hiring and sourcing, community benefits, public safety, public outreach and education, community services, and payment of fees and other charges to compensate the City for impacts on City services. It is my hopes that public outreach and education be the top priority of our council since this will affect our neighborhood children and their families. Could we strengthen the language so it also reads education and drug prevention among our youth? Honestly, I am not pleased that this ordinance is being placed so quickly on the city's agenda without consulting with the community and especially locally elected leaders that make decisions for the youth. Please make these changes before you even consider passing such an ordinance. Our children's lives are at stake! Sincerely, Jose Paolo Magcalas, Ph.D. President Board of Trustees Anaheim Elementary School District item # . Distributed to majority of City Council within Jennifer L. Hall 72 hours meeting.

We feel that everything than can be done by the shutdown has been accomplished. We are now at the point where the pain level for those needing to work every day is at a severe level and it must be addressed. Please take steps to immediately begin a return -to -work roadmap for our city. We hope the County will follow your lead. We promise to maintain distancing, wear a mask, and continue all practices such as handwashing. Now we need our City and County officials to step forward and end this unprecedented and illegal house arrest of civilians. We don't expect the Governor will support these measures as he seems mainly to favor freedom for criminals and illegal aliens. That said, we must find a replacement for Newsom for the November ballot, something you might consider. Thanks for listening, and God Bless you and your family. It is time to return the City of Anaheim to work. Steve & Patti Campbell Anaheim Hills Theresa Bass From: Catherine Leach Sent: Monday, May 11, 2020 5:05 PM To: Theresa Bass Subject: Non consent and accountability: contact tracing, lockdown measures, etc Re: Non consent and accountability: contact tracing, lockdown measures, etc Dear Ms. Bass, Below are critically important questions, evidence, facts, and my NOTICE OF TERMS to you in your public and private capacities. Transmission of this notice has been electronically recorded. Thank you for reading this notice, sent to you in good faith, and without ill -intent. Please respond ASAP. In this current crisis, measures have been undertaken which are harming me against my consent. Further malicious actions are being threatened against me, and against the rule of law itself. A central example is the TRACE Act (HR 6666), proposing $100 BILLION in 2020 to create an industry of "contact tracers" — a ubiquitous, fascist surveillance network — to enforce testing and apparently to grant the "authority" to remove people from their dwellings. See: bit.ly/bi116666 This action is egregious and, for federal officials, I ask you to immediately stop this bill. For all officials: stop all anti -Constitution legislation, and pass laws preserve all Constitutional rights and the rule of law in this country. PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS A. I have unalienable rights recognized in the original U.S. Constitution that cannot be superseded by any agenda, nor be removed from me. I understand these laws of the land to be active and currently valid. If this is not the case, please send verification in writing within 72 hours. B. My unalienable rights are being harmed by agendas implemented by oath -sworn elected officials, corporate executives and/or non -elected officials (collectively "Agents Of Harm"). These include, without limitation: i. My free rights to speak, travel, do commerce, work, assemble, and be free of surveillance without warrant. ii. A threat of medical procedures or experimentation without my consent. iii. Threats of punitive detention, violence and or assault for non-compliance. C. My unalienable rights are NOT conditional — i.e. subject to proving I am not contagious, nor submitting to surveillance, nor anything that would cause me harm — properly called "extortion". NOTICE OF TERMS Effective immediately, and until each of the below questions are answered to my satisfaction, LET IT BE KNOWN throughout all jurisdictions and dimensions that: A. I DO NOT CONSENT to being harmed by any imposition of quarantine, or restriction on my right to assemble, work, travel, speak or do commerce. B. I DO NOT CONSENT to being told to live in fear, nor made to wear a mask, nor being mandated an allowable proximity to others. C. I DO NOT CONSENT to any offer of forced medical experimentation or testing; nor forced medical procedure (i.e. vaccine, or substance delivered by air, water, or other means without my knowledge and consent); nor exposure to radiation from 4G/5G/wireless deployments; nor being tracked by any technology or biometric device on or adjacent to my body. D. I HEREBY ACCEPT YOUR OATH OF OFFICE as your sworn statement that binds you to uphold my Constitutional rights, protect me from harm once noticed, and to liability when acting with negligence or without duty of care. E. I RESERVE ALL OF MY RIGHTS, nunc pro tunc, to pursue remedy for ALL harm AND THREATS OF HARM, which may constitute CRIMINAL ASSAULT, and or tort, caused or contributed by Agents Of Harm. I intend to seek remedy and lawful justice unless and until the stated harmful actions cease and desist. If you do not agree with my lawful ability to state and realize these claims and terms, please make your case in writing within 72 hours. If I receive no response from you, or if you offer any response that violates the supremacy of the original U.S. Constitution and you do not disprove my claim that the U.S. Constitution is active and valid, I will deem you to be in agreement and will proceed accordingly.

Anaheim Boulevard Anaheim, CA 92805 www.kennedycomn3ission.org 17701 Cowan Ave., Suite 200 Irvine, CA 92614 949 250 0909 RE: Housing Authority Item #1: Approve Exclusive Negotiation Agreement for Development at 1441 South Anaheim Boulevard Between The Housing Authority, National Community Renaissance of California and Encore Anaheim, LLC. Dear Mayor Sidhu and City Council Members: The Kennedy Commission (the Commission) is a broad based coalition of residents and community organizations that advocates for the production of homes affordable for families earning less than $20,000 annually in Orange County. Formed in 2001, the Commission has been successful in partnering and working with Orange County jurisdictions to create effective housing and land -use policies that has led to the new construction of homes affordable to lower income working families. As the City Council considers the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement for the development project at 1441 South Anaheim Boulevard, we strongly urge the City Council to prioritize providing sufficient and deeply affordable housing on the project. This is especially necessary because the Housing Authority site (APN: 082-185-41), one of the sites being considered for the project, is identified in the Anaheim Housing Element as a Housing Opportunity Site that can provide urgently needed affordable housing for the residents of Anaheim.) For the 2014-2021 Housing Element planning period, the City has a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) of 1,256 very low- and 907 low-income households. To -date, the City has built 124 or 10% of the 1,256 very low-income units and 121 or 13% of the 907 low-income units .2 However, for the above moderate -income units, the City outperformed and exceeded the RHNA by constructing 7,182 or 287% of the 2,501 above moderate -income RHNA.3 While 948 above moderate units were added in 2019, only 53 units total were added at the very low and low income levels. With a sole remaining RHNA need of 1,950 lower income homes, it is important the City prioritize City and agency owned sites to develop affordable housing. In addition, the City needs to evaluate its current policies and programs that have given market -rate developers incentives and concessions to spur market -rate housing development, but have not facilitated the development of homes affordable to lower income households in the City. We urge the City to adopt a mixed -income housing ordinance or a Housing Opportunities Ordinance to encourage the development of affordable homes for lower income households as part of market -rate housing. I City of Anaheim's 2014-2021 Annual Housing Element, p. 132-8. 2 City of Anaheim's 2019 Annual Housing Element Progress Report, p. 2, April 2020. 3 City of Anaheim's 2019 Annual Housing Element Progress Report, p. 3, April 2020. Mayor Harry Sidhu and City Council Members May 12, 2020 Page 2 of 2 While the Commission has provided the information below depicting the dire need for affordable housing in the City of Anaheim, it is worth reminding the Council once more of the difficult predicament Anaheim residents are in when trying to find housing given that Orange County is an extremely expensive county to live in. Ranked among the top ten least affordable metropolitan areas in the country4, Orange County is suffering from an affordable housing crisis. A resident must earn at least $39.17 per hour to afford a two-bedroom apartment at a fair market rent of $1,876 a month.5 Orange County renters paid an average of $355 more a month in the seven years prior to 2018 and rents are projected to continually rise.6 During 2000 to 2015, Orange County's inflation-adjusted median rent increased by 28 percent while the median renter income decreased by 9 percent. The impact of this crisis is dire. Many Orange County renters are rent burdened where they spend more than 30% of their income towards housing costs. Struggling to make ends meet, many households take on more jobs or live in overcrowded substandard households. With high rents, low vacancy rates and an increasing number of residents needing affordable homes, the supply of affordable homes being built for lower income households has also not kept up with the demand. It is estimated that an additional 111,996 affordable rental homes are needed to address Orange County's housing needs for lower income renters.8 During the 2016 to 2017 school year, 4,939 Anaheim Elementary and Anaheim Union High School District students in grades Pre -K through 12' grade were identified as homeless living in unstable environments in the Orange County school districts. In addition, according to the recent release of the Cost Study of Homelessness, close to $300 million was spent to address homelessness in Orange County during 2014 to 2015. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated needs that were already existing in our communities. Affordable Housing and Homelessness prevention must be a community priority to prevent increase in homelessness as housing protections are lifted. Lower-income families are likely to bear the brunt of the economic impacts of this expanding crisis—with significant numbers of workers expected to lose their jobs and find themselves unable to pay for rent, health care, and other necessities. This is a crucial time to continue investment in affordable housing development. The Commission looks forward to partnering with the City to increase affordable home opportunities for lower income households in the City. Please keep us informed of any updates and meetings regarding strategies to increase affordable homes for lower income households in the City. If you have any questions, please free to contact me at (949) 250-0909 or cesarc@kennedycommission.org.

Before you are two resolutions to allow the Fire Chief to submit grant applications, this is money from the federal government (FEMA) that the city can use to help combat the Covid19 battle that we are currently in. The other is the SAFER grant that will be used to offset cost for some of the much needed firefighter positions that were lost during the recession. The Anaheim Fire Department is currently leading the city in assisting our Citizens in the response to Covid19. We are all hands on deck and have answered the call to all Covid19 calls while still responding to fires, traffic collisions, hazardous materials mitigation calls, technical rescues, arson investigations, and all other medical aids Since 2011 the city's firefighters have been short handed due to cutting 24 firefighter positions, only 3 of those positions have been replaced. Our department is responding to more than double the call volume with less firefighters than we had in 1986. Please support the two resolutions in item 13. Thank you.

HaC� c -mc Assistant City Clerk Office of the City Clerk City of Anahei n 714-765-5166 Public Comment From: Thomas Fielder Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2020 4:50 PM To: Public Comment Subject: Item 15 on 5/12/20 agenda Regarding agenda item 15, I applaud the city's efforts to secure funding to accelerate housing production. Anaheim, like Orange County in general, has failed for many years to meet its regional housing needs, particularly in the categories of permanent supportive housing and very low income housing. This long-standing failure has played a major role in the explosion of homelessness in Anaheim and other Orange County cities. Now, we are facing a tsunami of newly homeless residents resulting from the economic fallout of the COVID- 19 pandemic.

Item 18: Solidarity with Anaheim's Asian -American Community During Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc in our city and our country. Now is the time for unity in the face of adversity. Let us together condemn anti -Asian sentiment. The American way of life holds no place for bigotry and scapegoating. Item 19: Proclaim May 30, 2020, as the Class of 2020 Day. One of the tragic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is that thousands of Anaheim students who are graduating or being promoted will miss out on a time-honored rite of passage: the graduation ceremony. Please come together as our city council representatives to honor our young people and utilize city facilities, communications and partnerships to honor and recognize these students for their accomplishments. Item 20: Angel Stadium. The agreement to sell Angel Stadium and keep our cherished baseball team in Anaheim until 2050 generate hundreds of millions in vital revenue. The is item ratifies the Angels agreement to speed-up their Third Deposit, putting $10 million in desperately needed revenue into the city treasury a year early. Item 21: Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and Online Travel Companies (OTC). This is another action the Council can take to bring in additional urgently needed revenue by finally allowing Anaheim hotels to collect and remit the full TOT for each room booked through OCTs. Item 22: COVID-19 Pandemic Eviction Moratorium. As the pandemic crisis continues, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Faessel seeks to extend the current eviction protections for impacted residential and commercial tenants by both ordinance and action under the Interim City Manager's emergency powers. This is a reasonable measure acceptable to both landlords and tenants. Taken both separately and together, this agenda Items will move Anaheim forward toward recovery from this calamitous pandemic.

Support 1 DESERT PALMAS HOTEL & SUITES ANAHEIM RESORT May 12th, 2020 Dear Members of the Anaheim City Council, On your meeting agenda tonight is Item 21, an amendment to Anaheim's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Ordinance. The goal of this amendment is to ensure that Anaheim collects its appropriate TOT for hotel bookings made via online travel companies (OTCs). I support this amendment and encourage you to support it tonight. This amendment to the city's TOT rules will finally begin to address the longstanding issue between and among the hotel operators, OTCs, and the City over the responsibility for collection of and payment of TOT. As you know, TOT revenue is a major contributor to Anaheim's General Fund, and together with other revenues generated within the Anaheim Resort, comprises nearly half of the funds the city uses to provide services like public safety, infrastructure, parks, community services, and more, that Anaheim residents and businesses alike rely on every day. Hotel operators in Anaheim are proud to be a part of this city and this community, and proud to be a contributor to the success that is Anaheim. Moving forward, we are happy to work with the City and the OTCs to ensure that the City of Anaheim is paid the proper TOT that is due from Anaheim's visitors. Tonight's proposed amendment will start to make that happen, and I urge you to support its passage.

As you know, TOT revenue is a major contributor to Anaheim's General Fund, and together with other revenues generated within the Anaheim Resort, comprises nearly half of the funds the city uses to provide services like public safety, infrastructure, parks, community services, and more, that Anaheim residents and businesses alike rely on every day. Hotel operators in Anaheim are proud to be a part of this city and this community, and proud to be a contributor to the success that is Anaheim. Moving forward, we are happy to work with the City and the OTCs to ensure that the City of Anaheim is paid the proper TOT that is due from Anaheim's visitors. Tonight's proposed amendment will start to make that happen, and I urge you to support its passage. Sincerely, L,af^a.

Harry Sidhu Mayor City of Anaheim RE: Opposition to proposed extension of Anaheim's emergency eviction moratorium Dear Mayor Sidhu: The Apartment Association of Orange County (AAOC) encourages the City of Anaheim to continue following Governor Gavin Newsom's statewide eviction moratorium timeline in Executive Order N-28- 20, which is set to expire on May 31, 2020. Extending Anaheim's emergency ordinance for an additional 30 days would not substantially benefit tenants or landlords, as eviction proceedings in court and other enforcement actions have already been frozen until September, at the earliest. AAOC applauds the City's efforts to identify additional federal and local funds to assist tenants in repaying any back -rent they may owe due to the personal effects of COVID-19, but believes that an extension of the City's emergency eviction ban is unnecessary and unwarranted Thank you very much for your consideration of our request.

I saw at last weeks meeting that Council Members Kring and O'Neil did not want to extend the rent moratorium and were siding with landlords. As far as the comment made that "we're at a point where the safety nets there" is completely inaccurate. My small business is STILL waiting for the SBA to get back to us almost 60 days after submitting an application. The fact that these council members are showing no regard for the incredibly stressful and tumultuous situations small businesses and renters find themselves in is a clear indication they are out of touch with their constituents. I'm asking you all to side with businesses and renters who don't have access to lines of credit like landlords do.

We don't want the Platinum Triangle turning into the Rusty Nail Triangle where we might have to get a tetanus shot just living here. The headlines will be world wide. Tourism may drop, the Angels may not want to stay, the economy for Anaheim may go down. Solution: Once a year have a Cannabis convention at the convention center. You will create income without having a permanent problem. If the council votes to legalize cannabis, there is no going back ... the Platinum Triangle will be all down hill from there.

The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce For Industry Leaders, by Industry Leaders City of Anaheim Legislative Initiative Support Dear Anaheim City Council and Staff, We support your plans to introduce a Cannabis Ordinance and November 2020 Ballot Initiative. We have reviewed all related documents and found them to be well written and thoughtful. The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce is a cannabis industry group of subject matter experts, seeking to support Cities in cannabis rule making and implementation. Attached to this letter you will find our general mission and the value we believe we can provide to Anaheim. Specifically, we would like to engage in a discussion with the City about a couple best practice elements: Taxes: Specific Taxes were not outlined and our recommendation is to keep them as low as possible. • The black market largely exists because of these 3 primary issues: a) Lack of Regulated Retail Access b) Compounding impact of taxes, taxes are just too high C) Lack of enforcement against illegal cannabis operations 2. The City intends to impose both a Gross Receipts Tax and an Operating Agreement • There is an abundance of evidence that when cities impose taxes that are too high, that business in the city will not be competitive, and business will relocate to cities that provide for a low tax scheme. • Costa Mesa and Long Beach are examples of Cities who are gaining a competitive advantage with low tax rates, and Santa Ana is expected to follow 3. Numeric Limits often result in legal challenges www.TheCaiinabisChamber.com Info@TheCannabisChamber.com • We understand the issue, and suggest land use elements preventing concentration be utilized to achieve the same outcomes. • By setting reasonable distance requirements, a City can get to the same desired outcome of over concentration. 4. Retail will the most popular Use: Consider placing buffer zones 5. For all other Uses, there is not an industry concern of Anaheim having 100, Manufacturers or Distributors. Cultivation will be of moderate interest, as we are in a state of oversupply, so only vertically integrated operators will seek Cultivation. 6. Testing Labs: If the City gets one, that will be an amazing outcome, and we suggest a zero -tax base to attract a foundational and necessary industry use. 7. We did not see Ballot Initiative Language: • We recommend tax language be expressed in an "up to' amount, so the City has the ability to lower • This Ordinance and Application is contingent upon the successful adoption of the voters in November, so we recommend publishing the Ballot Initiative Language for review and input 8. Microbusinesses are not included: • We recommend that microbusinesses be included • This allows for 3 uses under one roof, which creates supply chain integration and operational efficiencies. • If Retail can only be placed in the Industrial Zone, please know you can eliminate Retail (as these locations are extremely location sensitive) and will need to introduce Home Delivery (Retail Non -Storefront). • With Home delivery, it disperses the scale and intensity, does not have the parking impacts and does not have members of the public Please let us know however we can be of assistance and a time when we can further discuss the emerging cannabis industry in Anaheim.

Who is The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce is a multi -region non-profit trade association whose purpose is to function as the chamber of commerce for the cannabis industry. Our organization is comprised of local regional chapters led by top licensed operators and leading cannabis industry professionals. The Cannabis Chamber was formed to promote the common interests of our business members by facilitating introductions and creating opportunities for compliant B2B activities through our regional chapters in the Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. The Cannabis Chamber's driving purpose is to foster compliant industry development while helping unite retailers, manufacturers, cultivators, distributors, and other resources that offer valued business opportunities for our members. Our regional chapters are dedicated to supporting the growth and development of the broader compliant cannabis industry through our signature networking mixers, educational events, and chamber resources. We know our communities, businesses, and leaders, and we help bring them together for connections, products, and resources that our members have challenges obtaining on their own. Our fundamental goal is to positively impact the professional, political, medical, and scientific aspects of our industry. We bring key elements together to help our members find strategic synergy for greater success, and to advance the industry for deserving patients and consumers.

II. How The Cannabis Chamber can support the City of Anaheim The objective of our efforts is to focus on developing cannabis policy at the local level while working with our partners throughout California to improve state regulations. Many cities and counties continue to prohibit cannabis businesses or have not developed adequate regulations that allow licensed operators to compete with the illicit market. Our organization is proud to be able to say that it has worked in a major supporting role with many cities in Orange County, LA, and San Diego to help shape and define the initial and maturing cannabis legislation - Including our significant involvement in helping the City of Costa Mesa develop and implement some better measures that will drive increased total tax revenue, and spur economic development. We would like to offer our support and involvement for the City of Anaheim and provide any help we can, maintaining a neutral stance between operators and the City to ensure that the cannabis program in Anaheim is beneficial for all businesses and for the City. Please feel free to look over our website (www.TheCannabisChamber.com), and see who we are, what we've accomplished, and the significance of the role we have played in the cannabis space in California, and in Orange County. We have access to the top state regulators, in addition to having meaningful influence and reach in cities around Orange County and throughout the State. www.TheCaiinabisChamber.com Info@TheCannabisChamber.com Public Comment From: Lauren Torres Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2020 3:32 PM To: Public Comment Subject: FW: Pot Shops From: Bob Johnson Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2020 11:10 AM To: Council <council@anaheim.net> Subject: Pot Shops Please, do not go down the road of legalizing pot stores in this City.

Anaheim Blvd., Ste 733 Anaheim, CA 92805 Dear City Manager Garcia, Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. is a vertically integrated cannabis company and multi -state operator with numerous retail facilities across the state of California. I thank you for the opportunity to provide input regarding legalizing licensed cannabis sales and operations in Anaheim. As you are well aware, cities across California continue to struggle with illicit storefronts selling untested, unregulated cannabis. Not only do these illicit storefronts undermine the legal, regulated cannabis market, they pose a substantial public health & safety risk. Cannabis consumers increasingly desire to purchase and use regulated product not only for the quality of the product, but for the safety assurance that comes with it. As there are numerous cities surrounding Anaheim that have legalized cannabis, city residents are likely traveling to neighboring municipalities to purchase cannabis, causing the city to lose out on local tax revenue. A responsible, legal cannabis program has great potential to thrive in Anaheim serving a portion of your more than 300,000 residents. Based on our experience operating in many markets across California, and across the country, I have outlined a few hallmarks of a successful program, for your consideration: Creation of a strong ordinance for the city to follow, which may include: o Allowing for no more than one retail license per 50,000 people (no more than 6 or 7 storefront licenses for Anaheim). This standard allows for those select retailers to remain competitive without over -running the city with cannabis dispensaries. ■ Making the license more desirable attracts better potential operators to apply. In an age where capital is restricted, I suggest a program that attracts it. o Creating a sound sensitive use / buffer zone to ensure that cannabis businesses do not encroach on existing businesses such as schools and other places frequented by populations under 21 years of age. A sensitive use buffer should not be so restrictive that it effectively prevents legal cannabis establishments from operating. o Selecting zoning areas that are desirable for businesses to operate yet allow for the aforementioned sensitive use buffers. o Emphasize attracting operators that have demonstrated success; those with extensive and established cannabis operating experience. o Requiring a cannabis education plan (e.g., educating patients on safe cannabis use) o Requiring a labor & employment plan (e.g., recruitment, anticipated wages, etc.). o Requiring a plan for ensuring compliant operations Use a merit -based process to evaluate each applicant's qualifications, selecting those operators who will be the most successful business partners in the city of Anaheim. Harvest is supportive of empowering the legal, regulated cannabis industry through sound ordinances and implementation of a cannabis program that will aide in legitimizing the industry in Anaheim. Thank you again for soliciting input. I look forward to following Anaheim's cannabis discussions in the coming months.

Just wanted to give my opinion on the legalization of Adult Use Cannabis in the city of Anaheim. I work, live, and purchase all of my Cannabis in Anaheim. All dispensaries I go to are obviously illegal and are not paying any taxes. With the legalization of Adult use, the city of Anaheim can tax the sale of cannabis and as a consumer, I will feel safer purchasing tested product. It's worth paying a little extra knowing the product is safe. I feel that this would be a win win situation for everybody. Making it legal will also help with controlling and stoping the elicit market, just as long as the tax is reasonable and competitive with our neighboring cities who allow Adult use. Long beach had a tax rate of 6% and just recently lowered it to 1%. Already you can see the numbers for the elicit market declining. The cannabis industry is continuously growing and seems like it won't be going away. Taking the first steps to legalization now would be the right move to make. Thank you in advance for your time and wish you all a great rest of your week.

As a previous small business owner in the City of Anaheim I would have loved to have had a Legal Cannabis dispensary in my shopping center. These are my reasons why: 1. Increased foot traffic supporting regional shopping centers and neighboring businesses. 2. The typical patron isn't a lazy stoner. In fact it's completely the opposite. As a sales rep for Old Pal I've had great conversations with grandparents, lawyers, teachers, City workers, and athletes who attest to the benefits of cannabis versus prescribed pharmaceuticals. 3. The amount of tax revenue that can be created is a great way to reinvest it back into the community of Anaheim (hopefully for schools and youth programs). To end this public comment I'd like to advise on setting a lower tax rate as the city of Lake Elsinore did versus the high tax rate found in Santa Ana and Long Beach. A low tax rate will drive sales through the roof and give the business opportunities to employ more locals and to provide the city with a wealth of dollars to utilize. Thank you for your time and support.

I know you get a lot of emails so I'll keep it brief. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you, Concerned Anaheim resident Personal background: Anaheim resident since 2002. Been in Law Enforcement since 1996 (mostly Narcotics investigations my entire career). The following are some of the things I have learned as a narcotics law enforcement officer (from a large city in LA county) that you may want to consider before you "legalize cannabis" in Anaheim. Let me start by saying in general I don't personally care if someone chooses to use Marijuana, but I think there are many unintended consequences of allowing these shops to open in a city. Sometimes I don't think city councils hear enough about what happens when a city allows these stores to open even with good intentions. • Marijuana is still illegal federally. Our federal partners continue to make arrests for Marijuana related crimes. • Crime always increases in and around the shops. • Its illegal for store owners can not deposit their money into banks and keep large sums of cash in the stores. Many cannabis store owners I have arrested tell me they make about $20,000 a day (but they would never report that to the city) • The city will find it does not get the tax revenue it expects because the marijuana shops will not report correctly since they can not use banks and don't want to be taxed. • Marijuana stores in our city get robbed all the time because of all the cash the owners can't deposit. Our city started to close all the marijuana stores in one area because there were so many take over robberies where they started shooting people during the robbery. Your local police normally don't get notified about it because the store owners don't want the police involved in their business. When people start getting shot or hurt during the robberies, you will start to hear about it. • There is no "Marijuana police" or enforcement mechanism that checks to see if the product is "certified" or free from harmful pesticides. The shops are not going to pay to test each batch of marijuana that is purchased to sell at the store. Many "legal" and illegal Marijuana grows I have shut down in the past tell their clients they don't use any chemicals or pesticides and say its "organic" but its cheaper to use chemicals and don't tell the store buyers. Growers know they will not test the product. • We have found that once you allow a certain number of "legal" shops in a city, you will get about 4 times that amount of illegal shops. Your law enforcement will quickly become overwhelmed and it will not be logistically possible to close down all the illegal shops and also enforce the "legal" shops. Reccomendations: • I would recommend contacting other city council members in Orange Country and the police narcotics officers and see what they say about the decision to allow the cannabis shops in their city. Ask for the good and the bad. I think what you may hear will surprise you.

Thank you for your exemplary leadership during the ongoing pandemic and for your attention to my comment. My name is Erik Scott Chan. I am the Managing Director of the Cannabis Regulation Impact Study Program aka CRISP. CRISP is a not for profit program to research and develop community considerate cannabis policies. I have created CRISP based off my 7 year ongoing study of cannabis concerns from 29 Southern California communities. I have presented information to you over public comments, emailed all of Council, and presented CRISP in person to multiple Council Members and executive staff. Anaheim holds a special place in my heart because it is the first city my family and I lived in when we relocated from Hawaii in 1988. I attended Maxwell Elementary and Woodsboro Elementary Schools. I continue to frequent Anaheim often. CRISP is designed to protect inexperienced cities from the "landmines" experienced by all other cities that have moved forward with cannabis regulation. We offer our services at $0.00 cost while simultaneously raising Policy Reform Funding in amounts of $250,000 /year for cities to prepare for legal commercial cannabis activity - hiring of additional police officers, recovery of administration costs, funding for educational awareness campaigns to offset increased adolescent exposure from legal cannabis, etc. "Landmines" have cost cities hundreds of thousands of dollars in litigation, fostered community protests and threats of recall - polarizing community support for cannabis and undermining community confidence in Council leadership. Cannabis can do great good for Anaheim, but those benefits risk being zeroed out for the first several years if Council ignores the warning signs, and there are many. I have referenced these "warning signs" and the outcomes in cities that were not aware of them in our CRISP Policy Brief that has been emailed / presented to Council and staff. Regarding today's agenda, if you approve that your proposed ordinance is not subject to CEQA, you will open Anaheim up to litigation that could cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars and void any work done on your commercial cannabis ordinances. Cannabis ordinances are not exempt from CEQA. This was determined by the Supreme Court of California in Union of Medical Marijuana Patients, Inc. v. City of San Diego (https:Hlaw justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/2019/s238563.html late last year. I have made it a point to highlight this in our CRISP Policy Brief and in presentations to Council and Staff. Furthermore, this finding has been clarified by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research. For your reference, I submit to you the email chain below of my discussion with Land Use Counsel, Ms. Natalie Kuffel, from the OPR. It would be very unfortunate for Anaheim to experience additional, unnecessary fiscal liability by opening itself up to litigation and landmines. Please remember, CRISP includes CEQA compliant policy development. We are offering to help the Anaheim community at $0.00 cost and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in Policy Reform Funds. If Anaheim had participated in CRISP around this time last year when we first made contact with Council, Anaheim would have a year's worth of Anaheim specific impact data and $250K in Policy Reform Funds to work with instead of coming out of pocket during a time of increased fiscal liability. I hope you will let CRISP and our team of expert Advisors help Anaheim to make legal cannabis a considerate, successful addition to your community. Thank you for your time and attention. We look forward to working with Council, staff and the Anaheim community in the near future. See email chain below for OPR's response regarding cannabis ordinances and CEQA compliance. Best, Erik S.

The Supreme Court decision in Union of Medical Marijuana Patients Inc vs City of San Diego applied existing CEQA law to the San Diego dispensary ordinance and found that it should be considered a project under CEQA because it was capable of causing indirect physical changes in the environment. You can review the CEQA flow chart to get a better understanding of how a project goes through the CEQA process. An Environmental Impact Report is a possible outcome of the process, but won't always be required. If an agency makes a discretionary decision, like adopting an ordinance, without properly complying with CEQA, then that decision can be challenged in court. If you'd like more specific guidance, I recommend contacting a land use attorney or reading the blogs that have been written on this topic by land use attorneys.

I moved here from West Hollywood where they have shops set up that are clean and welcoming -some even look like Apple stores. These storefronts are full of informative, generally educated staff who are willing and able to share information and educate people on proper usage as well as provide safe, untreated, unlaced product. In contrast, the stores out here currently are, to resort to slang, "shady" and often operate out of their own homes or back rooms. They are scary and seem perfectly situated to become the scene of a robbery or worse. Poorly lit, unsanitary, bottom quality, and oftentimes home to dangerous laced product. Should weed become standardized in Anaheim, there will be no more need for these back -alley shops and it'll make way for reputable, secure, and safe businesses like the ones in West Hollywood. In the past, weed has helped me become more sociable and open after I became recluse from the death of my father. It also helped me fight my insomnia and social anxiety. More recently, weed has helped mitigate back pain after my car accident for which my doctors had originally prescribed various (addictive and awful) muscle relaxers and pain medications. My investment in this movement may be a selfish one which will allow me to more conveniently seek out and buy marijuana, but I'd also think that there are others like me who would greatly benefit from it as well. I think we can all admit that we can't "beat" the weed movement and that it'll be sold one way or another, so the city may as well regulate it so that it's treated as less of a drug deal and more of a taxable business aka a new source of revenue for Anaheim.

I'm reaching out today to express my support in legalizing cannabis within the city of Anaheim. Licensed and unionized cannabis retail stores are mutually beneficial to the city as well as its community. They not only serve as a career platform for employees, but also provide locals (and tourists) with safe and affordable access to cannabis products. As a former Custodial Cast Member at Disneyland, I personally know how physically demanding providing that service is. However, there aren't any local spaces for people to learn and try non -intoxicating cannabis products for their ailments. By legalizing cannabis, workers and residents in Anaheim will have the avenues needed to make educated purchases on items that can improve their daily life. I'm not alone in sharing a passion for cannabis and holistic healing, but please do not hesitate if there are any questions I can help address. Thank you for your time.

I represent thousands of cannabis consumers as the Executive Director of Orange County NORML since 2003. NORML is the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and is celebrating 50 years of advocacy this year. In 2014 our PAC successfully qualified the cannabis initiative in Santa Ana that eventually led to the cities licensing of cannabis dispensaries. I have been an Anaheim resident and my family still resides there. I have been witness to the dozens unlicensed dispensaries that have operated in the city over the years and currently operating. These unlicensed dispensaries do not require testing or taxes and bring no benefit to localities and consumers. The City of Santa had hundreds of illegal dispensaries and only after regulating were they finally able to get rid of these unwanted unregulated businesses. Without regulation and dispensaries in Anaheim residents will continue to use unlicensed dispensaries. Your residents will have access to untested cannabis products which can make them ill. These businesses make tens of thousands of dollars a day without paying a single dollar in taxes. The need for cannabis is not going to diminish and the responsible action of a city facing such a demand is to regulate and control the business that is already ongoing in your city I would like to advise, in cities where the cannabis tax is too high consumers will continue to choose the black market, especially in this time where people's financial future is unknown. Please consider the impact on your residents and consumers when setting your tax rates. I respectfully ask for your votes to pass the zoning ordinance and allow the residents to approve of a tax measure in November.

In November 2016, a majority of Anaheim residents supported Proposition 64, which legalized recreational cannabis in California. This ordinance would: &#8226; Permit a limited number of cannabis businesses, using a stringent merit -based application system. &#8226; Limit them to industrial areas with safeguards such as buffer zones around schools, parks, libraries, daycare centers, and youth sites. This would generate millions in annual tax revenue for Anaheim - helping offset revenue losses stemming from COVID- 19 and maintain vital public services. An estimated 20-40 illegal cannabis shops operate in Anaheim at any one time. They consume enforcement resources while generating no tax revenue for the city. Prop. 64 allows cannabis deliveries from cities where is it legal into cities where it is not. Cannabis shops in Santa Ana and Long Beach can deliver legally into Anaheim now - but the city doesn't get any of the jobs or taxes. The illegal shops don't pay taxes, don't have products that meet safety standards, and don't treat their workers well. Having legal cannabis businesses will address all these problems.

I have limited time to file as I understand it. The council was flatly lied to last night and we, the residents, had no opportunity to comment on the revised CUP, specifically that set backs be required and additional soils reports since our homes rely on support from the land below (the Center), not just from the street. Four feet is ridiculous. Removing soil that supports our properties is ridiculous, especially since we have pools. One tenant was sitting next to me and shared that he pays $1.89 a square foot. The entire motion last night was premised on this not being a viable center at $1.35 a square foot and that simply wasn't true. The developer confessed that at $1.80 it would be viable. They are currently fetching more than that and I think the council should have the true facts before them and reconsider. We also would like them to consider permitting the parking on the surrounding streets since the new residences will have overflow that burdens us. The county clerk also advised that I need to check with you regarding the numbers required to run a) a ballot initiative and b) a referendum. We have limited time to file those papers as well.

That is truly shameful behavior. The comments directed at Councilwoman Kring caused me to lose my composure and I apologize for speaking out of order; I could no longer stand by as she was demeaned and attacked from the podium. wanted to personally thank you for your support during the last City Council meeting. I hope your fellow council members are equally committed to the general plan's guidance and maintaining the overall SFR, rural aesthetic of Anaheim Hills. The attached letter from the City in 2014 confirms the precise reason this property needs to remain zoned as it is. I know it was an emotionally charged evening, and I appreciate your patience as this is so very important to all of us in the community. These are our homes, families and lives that we are talking about. hope the council recognizes that not a single speaker in favor of the project is actually from Anaheim Hills or even Anaheim for that matter as far as I am aware. I wanted to also provide another copy of my General Plan analysis that should have been part of the administrative record. I was shocked that the developer's counsel falsely represented that the Planning Commission did not consider thoroughly the analysis under the General Plan. This has been part of the record since 2017 when I first learned (about 2 months after closing on my home) that the commercial center that was a large part of the decision to purchase my home was in jeopardy. also wanted to share with you the recent traffic accident that took place near the Serrano Center. Click here and let me know if this link does not work. This is the reason all of us residents are trying to convey that the traffic study on total trips is misleading. Contrary to the nurse that spoke at the meeting, I do not think that my life, or that of my son, or any person for that matter, is a sufficient exchange for development of 9 "moderately" affordable housing units. I certainly hope the council will press the developer as to what "affordable" actually means — as in real numbers. Risking our lives so 12 unknown families could possibly afford to live on that property, is not a risk I think the council should take. For reference, I also attached the HUD report for the affordable homes in Anaheim Hills — options are clearly abundant. Finally, I also wanted it to be part of the record that I worked three jobs in law school and actually supported my mother in my final year of law school because she had fallen on hard economic times (when I was at the age of 25). 1 attended Van Buren Elementary School, then Bernardo Yorba Middle School, then Esperanza High School, then UCLA (where I also worked several jobs to pay my own way through school and to support myself) and finally Southwestern School of Law. I am the poster child for public education and growing up with limited means. So are many of my friends. Of the 7 girlfriends I maintain friendships with since middle school, only one has received assistance in buying her home from her parents. Two of us live in Anaheim Hills, one in Orange and three in Yorba Linda (the other one recently moved to Idaho). We all own our homes and we all worked extremely hard to achieve the success we have; most of us also own our own businesses. I am an attorney, two are realtors, two are nurses (one that lives in Anaheim Hills and is a single mom of 2 and her children attend Friend's Christian private school, the other in Orange and her children attend school in Anaheim Hills — also a single mom), one is a wedding planner and one is a stay at home mom in Idaho. The point is, we were able to grow up here and buy homes in the area. Please do not be fooled by the people cherry picked by the developer to speak at the meeting. It is truly offensive to have to listen to a billionaire's attorney claim that the residents of Anaheim Hills lack the work ethic to buy our own homes and become successful in life. The gentleman who prepared the EIR falsely accused us of also being racist and discriminatory against individuals of modest means, and the public outcry was palatable. Not a single resident (we are not claiming the guy that made the horrible comments throughout the night to you and the council and he was not at the planning commission meeting) ever said anything remotely like that. We were all focused on the fact that there is affordable housing in the area and that this location is not suited to condos. Similarly, claiming that Anaheim Hills lacks diversity is ridiculous. In looking at the council, it looks like the United Nations; so does my street Carnegie, that the Serrano Center backs up to. My son is the only white kid at his current preschool and was one of I think 2 or 3 at Anaheim Hills Elementary where he will be returning on February 1, 2020. It should be highly telling that not a single Anaheim resident spoke in favor of this development. The strong opposition is documented as well in our community forums attached to this email. do strongly agree that housing and affordable housing is an issue, but to eliminate the only commercial center in that area that the residents are clearly dependent on and that supports the community would be a great mistake. This is simply the wrong location. Moreover, I think we all know this development has nothing to do with providing affordable housing to people. Sincerely, Dana Leigh Cisneros, Esq.

Harry Sidhu, Mayor Denise Barnes, Councilmember Jordan Brandman, Councilmember Trevor O'Neill, Councilmember Steven Fasel, Councilmember Lucile Kring, Councilmember Dr. Jose Moreno, Councilmember RE: Commercial Cannabis Legalization Dear Hon. Mayor Sidhu and Councilmembers, Thank you for considering regulating commercial cannabis activities in the City of Anaheim. My firm specializes in licensing, compliance and related transactional and real estate matters for commercial cannabis businesses. I am a member of the Minority Cannabis Business Association, the Drug Policy Alliance, a former member of the Diversity Inclusion and Social Equity Committee for the California Cannabis Industry Association, a member of the California NORML and its Legal Committee and Orange County NORML. My firm represents dozens of commercial cannabis companies and ancillary businesses statewide. I have also authored several articles relating to lawful commercial cannabis activities and delivered just under twenty (20) presentations on various commercial cannabis legal issues, including retail taxation. I would be more than happy to provide the council with a detailed overview of how the licensing and taxation scheme for commercial cannabis businesses works in practice. I also plan to record my industry overview presentation and publish the same to my firm's website CananbisCorpl-aw.com in the next two weeks. As you know, Orange County has been extremely slow in regulating commercial cannabis activities, with only one city (Santa Ana) in the County allowing for retail operations. While Fullerton and Corona are nearly ready to regulate commercial cannabis activities, I truly believe that Anaheim would be the preferred location for most operators. Anaheim City Council May 12, 2020 Page 2 of 6 Please allow this letter to confirm my personal and professional support for Anaheim adopting an ordinance to regulate commercial cannabis activities. You are going to receive a lot of comments that cite to Prop 64, the fact that patients lost considerable access in 2018 as a result of widespread local prohibition, tax and other revenues and alcohol comparisons from the public. I would likely echo most comments made in favor or legalization in Anaheim, but will not address the obvious since I am sure you are already well aware of these issues and arguments. You will also likely hear from various labor associations, the UFCW and the Teamsters about the benefits of cannabis legalization and job creation. Again, I would likely echo their comments as well. I strongly support Anaheim permitting all types of commercial cannabis activities. While retail is the most competitive and sought after activity in the vertical, it is important to recognize the valuable, skilled jobs that manufacturers, cultivators, distributors and testing laboratories will bring to Anaheim. Additionally, I support a local hiring requirement for all commercial cannabis operators, whereby they would be required to hire a majority of their employees from the surrounding area where the business is located, or at the very least, from Anaheim. I understand that this may prove to be impracticable for some companies, such as manufacturers that require a very specific scientific skill set for success. However, imposing a reasonable percentage, such as 50% local employment, would ensure that jobs go to Anaheim residents first. I would also encourage you to work with the operators on programs focused on economic development for the City. As for the 20 -per -activity, other than testing, licensing caps presented in the draft ordinance, I would recommend increasing the cap on retail to 35 based on a one per ten thousand (1:10,000) residents formula, rather than a one per nearly eighteen thousand (1:18,000). As for activities other than retail, I would suggest limiting those activities only if you have an influx of applications for those activities. Otherwise, I believe you may be expending time and resources on reviewing and evaluating applications unnecessarily. For example, last year, unincorporated Riverside County authorized fifty (50) cultivation licenses, but only thirty (30) completed applications were submitted. There is no need to spend the time on a competitive evaluation process where the number of operators is reasonable. I oppose the notion that the City may issue three of twenty permits to a single operator or ownership group. Anaheim has always thrived because of its locally owned small businesses. I can promise you that none of them will be able to compete with the large operartors likely to present applications in Anaheim. By allowing up to three (3) licenses per ownership group, it is entirely possible that seven (7) operators will dominate and Anaheim City Council May 12, 2020 Page 3 of 6 control all cannabis sales in Anahiem. Coupled with the fact that the permit transfer process is relatively easy per the proposed ordinance, allowing more than one license to be awarded to a single ownership group would make a merit based process meaningless. Should Anaheim chose to allow retail operators to hold more than one permit, the program should require the winning bueinsess to actually open their doors under the existing ownership structure and not allow for license sales pre -operations. In the event tha an operator is not able to continue through the development process to open its business, then then next qualified applicant on the list should ahgve the ability to move forward, rather than a third party foregoing the merit based selection process. To that end, I would recommend that license transfers be restricted until at least two (2) years after operations commence. I see that the City Manager has proposed an Cannabis Operating Agreement in the ordinance. It is unclear whether the City intends to adopt a development agreement type approach per the Government Code or if it is looking for something else. I would strongly encourage the City to use a development approach to legalization. It seems the City would like to place the measure on the ballot, but I suggest limiting that measure to taxation only and to be in the form of a maximum tax imposed structure. Cannabis goods are already subject to a 15% excise tax and state sales tax. Using a development agreement will ensure the City is able to direct the revenue to programs in need of funding and simultaneously provides licensees with security for a term of years that will encourage significant investment in the City. Most of the cannabis businesses I work with include a volunteer component in addition to a financial contribution. Encouraging cannabis operators to interface with the public and support community programs and causes will help reduce the stigma and ensure that Anaheim residents know they are able to approach these once taboo businesses. I have attached a basic form development agreement that I have supplied other cities. For example, when pursuing a license on behalf of a client in LaHabra, the city attorney selected the development agreement I drafted to be used for all operators in its boarders. I have also supplied this agreement to Fullerton staff working on cannabis licensing. As you will see, there are provisions for community benefits, payments, amendments and future tax imposition. As far as zoning and land use issues, I would strongly suggest that you instruct staff to review active business licenses in the city of Anaheim and request that any business that thinks is should be considered a "sensitive use" identify itself during a certain time period. The law already requires, unless you adopt a different restriction, that cannabis businesses be located at least 600 feet from any school providing instruction to children Anaheim City Council May 12, 2020 Page 4 of 6 in grades K-12 (not all at the same school), day care or youth center. I have seen instances where businesses are preliminarily approved, only to have a home based day care center or karate studio that is considered a youth center identified at the end of the process. I do believe that it would be most efficient and expeditious to permit operations as a matter of right in zones where similar activities take place: retail in commercial zones, manufacturing in manufacturing and industrial zones, cultivation in manufacturing and industrial zones, etc. As indicated above, Santa Ana is the only Orange County city to allow for retail operations. It is my understanding that many of these operators are struggling to be profitable, and I believe it is due to the fact that the establishments are buried in the industrial zones of the city. There is really only one dispensary that is clearly visible to the public — People's OC, which can be seen from the 55 freeway. In order for these businesses to survive and thrive, they must be accessible and recognizable to the public. Operators in Long Beach and Los Angeles see anywhere from 400-1,200 customers each day. In Santa Ana, most stores are lucky to see 150 customers a day. We want our Anaheim businesses to thrive so please be reasonable in your zoning requirements. I see that the proposed zoning includes industrial areas and the Anaheim Canyon — Development Areas 1 and 2. 1 understand that the Council is sensitive to overburdening certain areas of the City with specific land uses and that this was likely an accommodation for District 6, the district where I reside and work. I would encourage the council to consider whether the property owners in the Anaheim Canyon district would actually rent to cannabis businesses or if, after screening for sensitive uses, there are even parcels that fit the criteria in the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan area. Time and time again, I see cities end up in lawsuits because the cannabis business selected a property that, for one reason or another, ends up not meeting the requirements. Unfortunately, these operators usually find out there are issues only after they are well into the process, likely having paid rent or mortgage payments for a year or longer only to find out their business cannot operate in the location they selected. To protect against the threat of lawsuits, and to help operators identify viable properties, I suggest Anaheim (a) specifically identify the parcels that qualify for each commercial cannabis activity taking into account zoning, land use, General Plan and Specific Plan considerations as well as sensitive use buffers; and (b) provide for an initial property screening process for staff to check and confirm that the property is eligible for commercial cannabis operations before the application process unfolds. Anaheim City Council May 12, 2020 Page 5 of 6 In drafting your ordinance, please reserve discretion to adjust the caps or zoning for cannabis businesses upon resolution or approval by council, especially if you are going to send the ordinance to the voters for approval. Please also include a carve out provision that allows for changes to be made to conform to the changing framework of California's commercial cannabis laws. For example, until COVID 19, it was anticipated that by January 1, 2021, the three regulating agencies would be combined into one. Since the COVID 19 outbreak, agency representatives I have spoken with think this is more likely to occur in 2022, but the fact remains that your ordinance should remain flexible to confirm to state law. I am attaching the most recent download of NextDoor comments. You will see that I did my best to comment on legal issues that residents are not aware of, such as restrictions on on-site consumption by employees and diminishing crime rates surrounding licensed activities. What is clear, is that Anaheim should take steps to educate the public and ensure that our children are safe. I always say, kids steal alcohol from their parents, not the liquor store and the same will be true of cannabis dispensaries. Regulation is truly the only way to ensure that cannabis is not sold to our children. I would strongly encourage the council to work with community organizations such as Orange County NORML to engage in public outreach and education as well as youth diversion programs. I have noticed that many of the concerns from the community relate to issues that are resolved through regulation, such as sales to minors, loitering, on site consumption etc. Public education and outreach should be at the cornerstone of Anaheim's legalization policy. I would also encourage you to adopt a social equity component for those most impacted by the failed War on Drugs. It is no secret that the War on Drugs was a thinly veiled attack on persons of color, whose arrest and incarceration rates dwarf minorities' representative share of the population. Part of progressing as a city and as a society requires each of us to take an honest look at the past and make efforts to correct injustices where we find them. I would encourage you to review the resources available on the Minority Cannabis Business Association's website. For what it is worth, I previously submitted a public records request for the ethnic makeup of individuals arrested in Anaheim for cannabis related crimes for the past fifteen (15) years. Unfortunately, because Latinx individuals are considered Caucasian, I was not able to perform the necessary analysis. At the direction of council, I am sure the police department and city staff would be better able to identify arrest and conviction rates for cannabis related crimes to determine whether there was a disproportionate impact on communities of color in Anaheim. Even if not, I would encourage you to be at the forefront of this important movement and provide for a social equity component in your Anaheim City Council May 12, 2020 Page 6 of 6 ordinance that would open opportunities for the individuals who built this industry to participate in legal activities. Given the current state of our city and the world, retail delivery has become extremely prevalent. As I am sure you know, an operator from any city in California is allowed to deliver cannabis goods to Anaheim and the city cannot restrict that activity. As such, it makes no sense for Anaheim to prohibit cannabis activities since they already legally occur within the City. Regulating retail operations will only serve to protect Anaheim residents and ensure the City receives revenue for businesses operating in its boarders. Finally, I would like to remind you that under Prop 64 and the related regulations, a city is only eligible for state funded enforcement assistance if the city permits retail and cultivation activities within its borders. I would strongly encourage you to look at the increase in enforcement that followed Riverside County legalizing commercial cannabis activities. There are dozens of illegal operators in Anaheim selling tainted products that cannot past the rigorous testing required by the State of California. Legalizing commercial cannabis activities will ensure that Anaheim residents have safe access to clean cannabis goods while generating significant revenue for the City. Should you choose to put this issue on the ballot, I suggest that you only include the taxation component to reserve council's ability to make future changes without voter approval. I would also suggest that you consider a 0% tax for medicinal sales if recreational cannabis sales are taxed. I am available to discuss these matters further at any time. Again, thank you all for your willingness to consider commercial cannabis legalization in Anaheim. C ros, Esq.

A majority of Anaheim voters voted in favor of prop 64. We should now support prop 64 and its prescribed, lawful uses with local control over implementation. This ordinance will allow only a limited number of cannabis businesses in designated industrial zones away from residential neighborhoods with buffer zones around schools, parks, and other youth oriented sites. The ordinance also implements a strict, merit based application process that will ensure only high quality, reputable, and sustainable cannabis businesses operate in the city. Regulating the cannabis industry in the city of Anaheim will allow our police department to crack down on illegal shops that are currently Operating in the city. Permitted shops will be forced to follow age restrictions and operate under all city regulations making them much safer than the illegal shops that are currently all over the city. Just last year a shop operating illegally caused a fire in west Anaheim that destroyed property, caused a loss of revenue, and loss of jobs for neighboring businesses. Also further regulation could allow more tax revenue for the city of Anaheim. these revenues could come in a time when we need them most as we are facing the budget challenges caused by the Coro navirus/Covid19 public health emergency. The men and women of the Anaheim Firefighters Association urge your support for item 23, which will allow the city of Anaheim to prioritize public safety and fiscal sustainability. Thank you.

Proponents are seeking a vote to open our city to businesses that would be able to legally sell recreational marijuana to adults in our city. I think all of us can agree that this decision will have a profound effect on the future of our city that has a hard- earned worldwide reputation for providing quality family entertainment. It may be the most significant ballot measure impacting our quality of life in the history of our city. I am greatly disturbed that this decision is being made largely under the cover of darkness. Our entire country, and indeed the world, is under attack by a pandemic that has led to the unemployment of tens of millions of our countrymen, over 80,000 deaths in the U.S. alone (with over 2,700 deaths in California and projections that it will reach 6,000 in the coming months), and our residents largely confined to their homes by order of Governor Newsom to protect the safety of themselves and their families. While our country is focused entirely on fighting this pandemic, it is absolutely the worst time to discuss approving the dispensing of recreational marijuana in our city. The city council is not meeting in a public forum where the residents of Anaheim can come before you in person to look you in the eye and express our opinion on placing this on a ballot. All the public has available is to listen to is council meeting sessions over the internet. The only opportunity we have to comment is through the submission of written comments. These internet meetings do not even take place in the council chambers. I listened to a portion of an Anaheim council meeting last week. All that is available is the audio of the meeting as council members converse from their respective homes. It is an exceedingly painful experience. The sound quality was impacted by council members occasionally trying to speak at the same time. It seemed the council meeting droned on for an eternity. I left to join my family for dinner near what I thought was the end of the meeting. I returned to my computer approximately an hour later to discover to my surprise that the meeting was still droning on. Out of our 352,005 Anaheim population, I'd be surprised if 5 residents were hardy enough to still be listening in. Orange County once had a strong newspaper with investigative reporters that covered local politics in depth. It helped that they had strong competition from a Los Angeles County newspaper that also had investigative reporters. Those days are largely gone. All I have seen in the Orange County Register is a puff piece focusing entirely on the benefits of legalizing the sale of marijuana in Anaheim expressed by the council proponents of the sale of recreational marijuana. Not one word was included from the opponents. The only "expert" on the subject was a Los Angeles dispensary owner that touted the benefit of selling marijuana to tourists. I have little doubt that the "expert" was also provided by the council proponents of this measure. The city council owes it to our residents that this subject is discussed from the very beginning in open council meetings that the public can attend and weigh in at every stage of the process. It should not be presented to the public as a'fait accompli' having already been placed on the ballot. Everyone knows that the marijuana industry is exceedingly wealthy and powerful in California. It has the resources to flood our mailboxes with their literature leaving poorly funded grassroots residents to fight this battle. Pitting the resources of the marijuana industry against our local citizens will be an unfair contest. The traditional method of going door to door to our neighbors and community members is not even an option at a time where our public authorities are warning of the grave danger of failing to observe social distancing. Even public protesting has been largely removed from our traditional methods of political discourse again due to social distancing. Our civil liberties have been largely curtailed under orders being issued by our government officials. Local sale of marijuana proponents on the council have seized these unfortunate circumstances to push their agenda forward. Shame on them. The Washington Post newspaper has on its masthead the phrase "Democracy Dies in Darkness". These are dark days in California. I can feel the darkness creeping in on Anaheim. Please don't let this happen.

Jim Ramirez Vice President Anaheim Firefighters Association Public Comment From: Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2020 2:57 PM To: Public Comment Subject: May 12, 2020 Council Meeting Public Comment To: Anaheim City Council Members One of the agenda items for tonights meeting is about approving areas in Anaheim for cannabis dispensaries, labs, and grow houses. I have taught in Anaheim for 27 years, and I have owned a condo at the Stadium Lofts on Katella Ave. and St. College Blvd for 14 years. Currently, our area is legally designated as a mixed-use neighborhood. Our complex, and the surrounding dwellings encompass a large number of residents, families, and especially children. Recently, during the lockdown, crime has been up in and around our building. I believe that there is a need for areas for the lucrative business of cannabis and the increased taxes it will bring to Anaheim. I agree that we need to carefully designate areas for those businesses. However, at times, the clientele of cannabis shops tends to be transient, and it would cause concern for myself and all of the families that live in our area. My request is that you rigorously consider limiting the selection of the areas in Anaheim designated for the cannabis dispensaries, labs, and grow houses to industrial areas only. Mixed neighborhoods should not be considered to accommodate the aforementioned businesses. Thank you for your consideration and this opportunity to be a voice for our neighborhood, Janie Patton Jennifer L. Hall From: Frances Noteboom Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2020 9:24 AM To: Jennifer L.

We regret that you are considering legalization of Cannabis in our City. If this goes forth to the November ballot we will actively canvas against its passing in our City. We think our City has much bigger issues at this time than propagating marijuana. It has been very noticeable to us that APD's helicopter 'Angel' has been up most days and many nights during the past month. We believe this marked difference is related to the release of prisoners into our population by the Governor's edict. Safety for our flatlands comes first and at this particularly vulnerable time we are all very cognizant of that. We would appreciate you giving our APD more power as everywhere we hear that they are stepping down with enforcement. With appreciation, Sincerely, John and Frances Noteboom
