the West Anaheim Youth Center each Wednesday at 4:00 P.M. She applauded the efforts of Muzeo
Interim Executive Director Katie Farrell for championing efforts for Indigenous Peoples Day in Anaheim.

and thanked City staff for assisting in the distributions. She reiterated her request to know how the
funding to Visit Anaheim is being spent, encouraged residents to pay attention to the Angel Stadium
transaction, addressed the need to hear directly from residents and her colleagues via in-person or Zoom

Council Member Brandman reported the drive-thru mask giveaway at Magnolia Baptist Church last
weekend where over 500 Anaheim families received a pack of 40 disposable mask and thanked
everyone who coordinated the event. He announced the next mask giveaway will be at Anaheim First
Christian Church at 520 W. South St. He reported his office had received numerous calls, texts, and
emails from District 2 residents regarding the growing number of unsheltered individuals and increasing
homelessness in west Anaheim, including right-of-way blocking near Brookhurst St. He thanked City
staff and leadership for their quick response to the urgent matter, but noted that homelessness and its
many second/third order effects are/have been on the rise, especially in light of the pandemic. He
thanked the residents who contacted him, to provide feedback needed to keep the system working and
assist with representation and addressing concerns. He noted he has asked the City management team
10 September 15, 2020
to help communicate to residents how the homeless policy will be adapted to address this specific set of
circumstances in west Anaheim and ensure a plan is in place and operative. Council Member Brandman
was temporarily absent from the meeting between 11:44 P.M. and 11:46 P.M. He stated there is a path
forward to not leave anyone behind, including residents and those in need. He reminded everyone to
complete the Census at www.my2020census.gov, and to wear masks and practice social distancing to
save lives.
Council Member Kring concurred with Council Brandman about the homeless and spoke of the homeless
and crime at Ball Rd./Harbor Blvd. last week. She thanked staff and Sandra Sagert for doing a great job
and addressing those concenns. She announced that this week, September 15 -26, is Orange County
Restaurant Week and encouraged residents to support local restaurants hit by COVID. She highlighted
there is a new phase in dining, where you can order to go or dine outside; she encouraged residents to
wear masks and dine local. Council Member Kring thanked all emergency workers throughout
California, Oregon, and Washington battling the terrible wild fires across the west coast. She thanked all
police personnel helping with evacuations and other emergency situations and providing shelter for many
displaced families. She commended the Anaheim Fire and Rescue for providing mutual aid to the EI
Dorado Fire, encouraged residents to create an emergency plan and visit www.ready.Gov for more
information and tips, because being prepared can help save you, family, neighbors, and emergency
responders. She requested the meeting adjourn in memory of Senior Airman Jason Khai Phan who died
in a vehicle accident while serving in Kuwait.

Hispanic Heritage Month. He reported he helped facilitate a new wheelchair for a District 5 Miraloma

on State College Blvd., Boys & Girls Club at La Palma Park, a surplus copier donated by Republic
Services to the Boys & Girls Club, ICNA Relief at the Sabina/Sycamore neighborhood, and a large walk-
up event at Ambassador Church. He announced an upcoming fundraiser drive on September 26 at St.
Anthony Claret Church featuring Sean Oliu.
Council Member O'Neil addressed an inclusionary housing policy, and how neither he nor the committee
wanted to entertain that idea, as such policies increase the costs of housing as they make it more
expensive for developers to produce. He said land values were effected, and if such a policy was in
place, the appraisal and ultimate sale price in the Angels deal would have been affected. He requested
the recommendations / items in the Housing and Affordable Housing Action Plan that need further
Council approval be brought back for Council consideration by staff in an appropriate and strategic
manner, concurred by Council Member Kring and Mayor Pro Tem Faessel. He requested the meeting
also adjourn in memory of District 6 resident and former Housing and Community Development
Commissioner Chris Emami.

the Jewish community on the upcoming holiday Rosh Hashanah starting at sundown Friday, September
18 through sundown Sunday, September 20.
