We have contacted you today to express our interest in assisting eating disorder patients during this pandemic. Those with eating disorders may have difficulty going outside and purchasing the necessary food in order to work towards a healthy weight and lifestyle. In addition, eating disorders often weaken the body and subsequently the immune system, so it is extremely risky for people with such disorders to go outside to get the proper resources. While many city schools and school districts are offering free meals to the students and their communities, it may not be sufficient enough for people with eating disorders trying to recover. They must follow a strict schedule of meals and snacks that are composed of specific food groups that may not be adequately covered by the meals provided by schools or have access to such food during the lockdown. These eating disorder patients are in danger of relapse, as some people are reacting to the pandemic and the anxiety of having inadequate resources by further restricting their diet or binging and purging. As a result, their health can worsen and they may end up at a hospital, which is not ideal for the patients or the hospitals who are already trying to address the pandemic. We hope to propose a policy that will allow individuals suffering from an eating disorder to have access to free or at least affordable meal kits that fit their specific nutritional and overall food requirements. While this will be difficult as there are different eating disorders with different requirements, it will ultimately be beneficial for people with eating disorders to be able to contact the city in order to sign up for nutritious meals for the duration of the lockdown. If that is not possible, we propose to give them priority at grocery stores, similar to senior prioritization. Many patients could still be on exercise and activity limits, meaning that they can not stand or wait for long periods of time, so giving them priority at stores would alilow them to use electric shopping carts for those who have restricted movement while allowing patients to shop for their dietary needs before the general public for recovery. We thank you for your time and hope that you take our policy recommendations into consideration. Sincerely, The LoveYourself Team (Amelia Shim, Tasha Nguyen, Perla Tapia) Public Comment From: Andria Maynard Sent: Friday, April 24, 2020 4:47 PM To: Public Comment Subject: Public Comment Hi, My name is Andria, and I am a Community Health Advocate with The G.R.E.E.N. Foundation. We educate and empower residents of Anaheim through community health education. Anaheim has the highest number of tobacco retailers, more than any other city in Orange County. Many of these retailers and shops are located near elementary, middle, and high schools. In just one year from 2018-2019, the percentage of high school students vaping has jumped from 12% to 21 %. The tobacco industry is targeting kids with over 15,500 flavors, advertising (Influencers on social media: YouTube & Instagram), and discounts/price promotions. The recent outbreak of e -cigarette, or vaping-associated product lung injury, which 1 -Irl, predominantly affects young people, is still a major public health concern. According to ffte CDC, there were 55 reported deaths in California alone from using these products in. 2019. and now everyone who smokes and vapes are at a greater risk for getting sicker from COVID- 19. According to Tobacco Free CA, smoking and vaping weaken the immune system and the body's ability to fight infections. Now is the time to take a stand against Big Tobacco and protect kids. Currently, we are working on ending the sale of flavored tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes in the city of Anaheim. We have received signatures from over 200 Anaheim residents who support our cause. Thank you for your time. I appreciate your support with this public health epidemic. Public Comment From: Michelle Schumacher Sent: Friday, April 24, 2020 5.28 PM To: Michelle Schumacher Subject: Public Comments for next City Council Meeting please read into the record. As Council Members how do you feel about the following activity of the TCA - the toll roads, a joint powers agreement in Orange County? It is imperative that cities stop allowing this to continue. Do you support the TCA spending $35,000 for one dinner? Do you think $5,000 dollars for a golf game is an acceptable expenditure? If so how often? Why is the TCA funding and funneling so much money to local non profits (run by the same few people) that are involved in electioneering in Orange County? If the TCA expects Orange County residents to afford the ever increasing tolls, now set to automatically increase 2% annually, why do they regularly approve multi-million dollar contracts with vendors outside of our state? Would it not be better to keep this money in California? At least this way residents could afford to drive them. The CEO just retired but was making more than the President of the United States and adding to California pensions problems, OC residents average pay is $86,000 a year, how is this extraordinary high compensation responsible for government agency employee that manages less than 90 people? 1 The TCA is not responding to public records requests? What do you have to hide? Do you think it is ok to expense a $50 seabass, a filet, appetizers, and dessert, and fail to list who the second person was on the expense report? TCA's Ad Hoc Committees are making policies and taking action without the Board approval? Why is the army of Lobbyists and consultants the TCA employs allowed to attend the Ad Hoc meetings yet the public not welcome? Why is the TCA new CEO the President of another organization that the TCA reimburses him personally for his INTERNATIONAL airfare lodging meals to be on another organizations board? Did you know that the TCA is taking debt off the books with the bond refinance/remarketing to look better for the rating agencies and putting this debt in escrow accounts — this is the same shady thing Enron did. Do you think $4.7 Billion dollars which the TCA owes today is an acceptable debt balance? Did you know that once the debt is actually paid it will cost 11 Billion Dollars? Are you comfortable with this debt level? Did you know the TCA was paying a Consultant $185 an hour to read the news to the tune of $230,000 dollars last year and billing for 26 hour work days according to a LA Times report last year? N Did you know in 2014 the OC Grand Jury Issued a solvency warning to the TCA they carry over 64% of the OC JPA debt? I think it is time that you consider the TCA and it large debt burden and start them on a proper path and intent of paying down the bonds. They are embarking on mission creep and want to build un tolled roads for private developers and get involved in other projects — however the 11 billion owed on the bonds by 2053 should stop these foolish plans from ever starting. Taxpayers depend on your leadership. Thank you Public Comment From: Denise Colber Sent: Friday, April 24, 2020 7:45 PM Subject: Public comments for the next council meeting Attachments: public comments city council meeting.docx I would like to submit my comments for the public comments at the next city council meeting and put into public record. Thank you The essence of corruption is taking a small amount of money from a large group of people - then giving a large amount of money to a small group of insiders - that is what many believe is going on at the TCA — the Toll Roads, a run amok government agency. - The Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) have been a bad deal for taxpayers almost from inception. Formed as a Joint Power Agreement in Orange County in 1986, TCA was to plan, finance, construct and operate the toll roads, pay off its debt and finally return free highways to taxpayers. - In 1998 TCA commenced full operation with combined construction debt of $2.9 billion, maturing in 2033 (SJHTCA) and 2040 (F/ETCA). Total debt service would have been approximately $5.8 billion over the life of the bonds. - Low driver usage caused TCA revenue projections to be overstated and thus debt service obligations could not be met. This income shortfall necessitated repeated refinancing and increasing reliance on capital appreciation bonds (CABs) These bonds allow current interest to be deferred and added to principal, so that debt grows instead of diminishing, -20years later (June 30, 2018) TCA debt has ballooned to $4.7 billion, even after two decades of principal and interest payments on the original $2.9 billion debt. - TCA will pay another $6.9 billion in interest to mature that debt, making projected principal and interest payments of $11.6 billion thru 2053. This debt will mature 13 to 17 years later than expected (2050 for SJHTCA and 2053 for F/ETCA). Local taxpayers will have paid for the original roads at least 5 times. - Combined toll revenue in 2018 was $38o million and developer fees were $32 million. Residents will be paying increasing tolls and developers will be paying increasing impact fees thrU 2053, for another 13 to 17 years longer than the original plan. On top of that debt service load, there are the growing annual operating costs of TCA bureaucracy. - TCA has not built a road in20years, but tolls are now almost $9 one way on the 73 toll road. Developer fees are about $4-$6,00o per new single family residence built in the l2south OC cities and in rapidly growing unincorporated areas like Ladera Ranch. Meanwhile, most local residents avoid the toll roads, leaving them underused almost every hour of every day, a waste of capital and a deterrent to mobility. This silent tax needs to stop as it drives up the cost of housing and doing business in Orange County. • TCA's sustainability is tenuous. They admit that "there can be no assurances that the toll rates that are established will produce sufficient toll revenues to permit the payment of debt service." In short, as tolls get too high, ridership and revenue will decline. TCA's financing model might implode again, causing debt obligations to fall into default without yet more refinancing. • The failure to pay off the original debt on time means developer impact fees will hang over the south Orange County real estate market much longer. Those fees are passed on to consumers in home costs. • TCA continues to accrue debt and grow in power and influence, keeping itself in business at taxpayers' expense. TCA was a bad idea that got out of control and must end. An independent forensic examination of the TCA is warranted. Potential termination of TCA maybe prudent. Thank you, DeniseMarie Bettencourt A concerned tax payer Public Comment From: Samuel Goldstein Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2020 4:23 PM Subject: Letter to be read Dear City Councils, please read read this letter for public ic comments at the next City Council meeting. Thank you, Samuel Goldstein Make the 73 Toll Road a Freeway Sooner, Not Later! Consider Using the 73 Right -of -Way for New Transportation Alternatives Find More Creative Solutions for Lessening Congestion &increasing Mobility (1) The original idea and promise of the 73 involved a two-part public benefit. First, this privately financed and user -funded toll road would become a "freeway" in 30 years. Second, other roads meanwhile would be less congested, as drivers willing to pay to save time would use the 73. (2) It's been 33 years since the 73 was built, for 2.3 Billion over 400% over the initial TCA claim that the project would only cost $858 million. But it will be another 33 years —until 2053 before the debt (now growing in the wrong direction) is paid off, and the tolls are lifted. The motoring public should not have to wait so long —more than twice as long as promised. Something must be done. (3) The tolls on the 73 have reached levels that commuters find prohibitive, congestion has increased on the 5, the 405 and especially Pacific Coast High -way in the south County cities along the San Joaquin corridor yet the 73 toll road remains unclogged, virtually 24/7. (4) Making better use of the 73's surplus capacity and also better use of its generous right-of-way can lessen congestion and increase mobility in south County. There is room for rapid bus and carpool lanes. Also, possibly emerging technologies such as Elon Musk's hyper -loop. (5) The rub is the debt; the 73 bond holders. County leaders should pursue creative solutions. It starts with intention. Intention to end this inequity and I inefficiency; the 73 is open, often empty, not free; yet it's most of the motoring public that pays the real price, in lost time and productivity. (6) The TCA has been creeping outside their mission for the past 5 years, trying to add toll lanes on the freeways and "fund" roads for private developers. This is the wrong path for this agency that has 30 years of financial failure. It is time the bonds are paid down and this redundant agency put to rest. We have OCTA and Caltrans that could more effectively handle the transportation needs. (7) Finally, consider extending the 57, mostly over the Santa Ana flood channel, all the way to the 73, which would effectively link north and south County and take pressure off the 55. (8) The original notion was to get a publicly beneficial road built with private money. That's been done. Let's find a way to retire the debt on a timetable closer to the original plan, make the 73 a freeway, and make smart use of the 73 right-of- way, which now is a grossly under-utilized asset. Thank you, Samuel Goldstein N Public Comment From: Joel Parham Sent: Monday, April 27, 2020 7:04 PM To: Public Comment; Jordan Brandman Subject: Public Comment - Feedback H Excessive Environmental Noise Attachments: TimePhoto-20200420-140441.jpg; TimePhoto-20200418-104812.jpg; TimePhoto- 20200420140420jpg Hello Council Member Brandman, My name is Joel I live on in 92804. 1 would like to thank the City of Anaheim for continuing to work hard on addressing homelessness, graffiti and many other community community issues that effect residents. I would like to bring awareness to a very serious issue that is effecting the community - LOUD and daily external noise. The first chronic source of noise is a white ice cream truck Bedolla Produce 1582 Acacia Garden Grove, CA 92840 license plate . The vendor is in the neighborhood ONCE AN HOUR between noon - —8:00PM. When the vendor drives down the street they play a very loud trumpet tune several times, then proceed to double park their vehicle. Please see attached photos of the subject vendor. Many of us of are working from home and have important calls with customers and clients, the sound of trumpets in the background is not exactly professional. Not to mention it is incredibly annoying and distracting. The mobile food vendor is continuing to disturb the peace and I propose we amend the City law to ban vehicular mobile food vendors. The second chronic source of noise is the Anaheim Police Department. Every single night between 10:45PM - 1:30AM there is a police helicopter flying very low over the neighborhood which is quite loud. I understand predictive policing however the nightly flights are really causing folks to have more anxiety and I'm quite doubtful that this is actually doing anything other than constantly disturbing the residents. Strong consideration should be given to reducing the use of helicopter flights when residents are trying to sleep at night. I recommend the Anaheim PD research alternative methods/technologies for crime suppression, maybe talk to the Air Force and purchase a pre -owned surveillance drone? The reason I am bringing attention to noise is that there has been a tremendous amount of scientific research that has concluded that the more external loud noise there is, the more difficult it is for humans to concentrate, learn and focus among other things. Essentially constant exposure to loud noise leads to increases in anxiety and stress and lowers cognitive abilities. Generally, in more affluent areas there are no mobile food vendors/ice cream trucks or predictive policing which means there is a higher quality of life in the more affluent areas of Orange County than areas such as 92804. Our goal as a Community and Government should be to work on improving the quality of life for everyone, especially residents, this should start with reducing external noise as much as possible as it effects everyone! Thank you for taking to the time to read my comment/feedback and keep up the great work. Thanks!

I am a nurse @ Kaiser Anaheim and patients and visitors are not obligated to wear masks when entering our hospital. In order to limit exposure, departments not in Maternal Child Health are prohibiting visitors, however Labor and Delivery and Postpartum allow one. The patient's significant other is not required to wear a mask, since we cannot spare our PPE and provide him with one, yet unlike her, he is not being tested for Covid-19. We now know that asymptomatic people can still be infectious. Masks would not only help keep hcw safer by containing droplets, but him as well by providing a barrier from touching his face/mucosa.

State College Blvd. Anaheim, CA 92806 Email: ecrantl@socal}:as.corn I am writing to provide public comment on the Anaheim Public Utilities Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (consent calendar item three). As your utility partner providing services to the residents of Anaheim, we applaud your roadmap to meet California's 2045 clean energy goals. Like you, we are working to meet California's greenhouse gas emission reduction objectives, while keeping bills affordable for consumers. SoCalGas is proud of our vision to become the cleanest natural gas utility in North America, by replacing 200 of our traditional natural gas with green gas by 2030. We support the Anaheim Public Utilities draft goals and targets for reducing emissions, especially those that promote policies to increase local renewable energy resources and reduce transportation emissions. In particular, we support the acknowledgement of renewable natural gas (RNG) as a renewable energy resource in your Draft Plan, which describes use of biomass and waste resources as sources of renewable energy, such as landfills and dead trees. Because RNG can be carbon negative, we believe the Draft Plan could achieve greater local emission reductions from expansion of RNG production and use. SoCalGas would also like to suggest inclusion of hydrogen as a key renewable resource in the Draft Plan, particularly as it can support expansion of intermittent renewable energy like wind and solar. SoCalGas stands ready, willing, and able to work with Anaheim Public Utilities and find additional ways to partner in renewable electric generation. We'd be thrilled to share all the incredible benefits of hydrogen and RNG with you, building even more upon the solid foundation you have already placed. With this, thank you for your leadership addressing this important issue. SoCalGas looks forward to continuing our partnership with Anaheim Public Utilities and bringing affordable, reliable, clean gas supply to city residents and businesses. As always, I am here for you if you have questions. Take care and stay safe. Sincerely, Emily Grant Jennifer L.

The ACLU of Southern California has at least 1,169 members in the City of Anaheim. I am urging you today to OPPOSE Agenda Item #07, the $35,000 annual agreement with Veritone Inc. Facial recognition surveillance poses unique and significant civil rights and civil liberties threats to the residents and visitors of Anaheim. Facial recognition surveillance technology has a history of being far less accurate in identifying the faces of women, young people, and people of color, and such inaccuracies place certain persons at an elevated risk of harmful "false positive" identifications. Many of the databases to which face surveillance technology is applied are plagued by racial and other biases, which generate copycat biases in face surveillance data. We have three substantive concerns about the annual Veritone Inc. subscription: First, the May 5, 2020 Agenda Report purports to say that facial recognition will be "narrow" because it will only cross reference images to mugshots. This is misleading to the public. whether Anaheim Police Department will run images against a limited database doesn't matter if Veritone is running several images against it, e.g. images from surveillance cameras, dash cams, private cameras, Ring cameras, etc. Even though Anaheim Police Department is checking images against a limited mugshot database there is nothing limiting how Veritone captures footage to check against the mugshot database to generate the facial recognition software technology. Second, regarding the use of legally captured mugshot photos: no one who was arrested was told that their photos would be used in perpetuity in the future for facial recognition. No one agreed to that and very few people would agree to that. Suggesting that this is lawful is misleading. Third, the City of Anaheim will use a racist technology that does not work well for people of color and running it against a database that is disproportionately people of color. Racism is encoded into the facial recognition program because mugshots are used, and systemic racism exists in arrest rates. This subscription will produce racist outcomes, guaranteed. Moreover, identification using facial recognition has the very real danger of subjecting people to potentially violent contacts with police. An identification—whether accurate or not—could cost people their lives, and this technology has the risk of further fueling the epidemic of police violence against people of color. You can't build a face recognition system for investigative purposes that can't also be used for massive, unaccountable surveillance. Systems and databases like this one can be turned against the public and used to target political enemies, round up immigrants, and track who we are and where we go in our daily, private lives. We urge you to oppose the Veritone Inc. annual subscription.

All I receive is $1,244 per month from Supplemental Security income. The Secretary of the Treasury announce today if they are starting to mail out or direct deposit the stimulus checks for SSI recipients, Railroad Retirement recipients, and Veterans Benefits. There is no possible way for these people to not only pay their rents but pay the back rent in for payments. I am requesting that the city council and the mayor extend the deadline on the moratorium for evictions until July 31 st, is that will take most of us that long to catch up with all the things we needed to buy for the virus. There is no possible way that anyone that owes back rent even if extended until June 30th would be able to pay back the landlord for past -due rent in for payments along with the current rent. So I am also requesting at the city council and mayor make that payable back to the landlord + 6 equal monthly payments. There is no other possible way that we Gould survive Bang it back in for monthly payments and paying the current rent at the same time. And there are thousands of people in Anaheim it has not paid their rent and I are going to have to pay this back in order not to be evicted. Enjoying some research I'm looking at other cities and states, they are allowing it should be paid back in 6 equal monthly payments and restricting the landlord from evicting there as long as those payments were made on time. So I'm asking the city council to do the same thing, and I extend the moratorium on evictions until July 31 st as many people have not even received their stimulus payment yet. It is not even possible, even if we wanted to to do it any other way. But there has to be a guarantee that up the back payments are made they will not allow evictions to take place. Almost one-third of the Anaheim residence has not paid their back rent. And that is a very close estimate. So we're leaving up to the city council to do the fair thing and allow us until July 31 st and then mare d equal monthly payments on any back to or past due rent. It's not even possible to do it any other way. Respectfully, David M Mazer Anaheim, California Item # _ 13 . Distributed to majority of City Council within Jennifer L. Hall �2 hours ofS � meetin�.

Given our state's high costs of housing and the extensive rent burden for many California families, we worry that any loss of wages related to the outbreak of COVI D 19 will only further imperil with homelessness our most at -risk families. We know that the need to protect residents that live paycheck to paycheck from the economic fallout of this virus includes protecting them against facing eviction and homelessness which would only further spread this disease and make its containment harder if people don't have a home to care for the health, safety and welfare of their families.

I strongly encourage cities and counties to take up this authority to protect Californians." We commend your work on this urgency ordinance to protect Anaheim tenants. While a a reat start there are sections of the ordinance that can be strep thened to further,.protect Anaheim tenants. We recommend the following chances: Section 5. Rppgyment of Rent Required Extend the repayment period from 120 to 180 days M If no agreement is reached between the landlord and tenant allow the back/past rent due to be repaid in six (6) installments o Tenants should be provided 6 months to pay back/past rent and the flexibility to pay back what is feasible on a month to month basis. Requiring equal installments can place a burden on households who may need a month or two to recover from COVID-19 financial impacts Section G. Additional Direction by the Cit Council Housing Rental Assistance Program o If federally restricted dollars are utilized, make this program available to mixed immigration status households by prorating the rental relief they can receive based off the number of eligible recipients in the household o Do not require tenants to prove that they will be able to pay rent the fallowing months as COVID-19 makes this difficult o Do not require landlords to sign a w-9. This can create unnecessary barriers as a tenant's receiving of rental assistance would be based on a landlord's willingness to sign a w-9. o Remove barriers to access wherever possible.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need — food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are there to hire people back and be part of the recovery.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need — food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the CDVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need — food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the CDVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are there to hire people back and be part of the recovery. I thank you for your efforts on behalf of our city in these unprecedented times, and I urge you to support vote for item 14 on the May 5 Council meeting agenda. Thank you!

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need -- food, shelter, and other essential supplies -- during the CCVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TGT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are there to hire people back and be part of the recovery.

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 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 RealtorsO and the Pacific West Association of Realtorsv; • 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.

Anaheim Boulevard, Seventh Floor Anaheim, CA 92805 Dear Mayor Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council: It has come to my attention that there will a discussion item on this week's agenda to allow the sale of cannabis in the City of Anaheim. This is the WORST idea ever considered in the history of our city. should this ever be permitted in our city, it will change our community in an irreversibly horrible way FOREVER. I am absolutely astonished that you would even consider this as something good for our city! Please don't tell me about the "financial benefits" or that "its corning to Anaheim anyway" or that "we can control the illegal dispensaries' if we allow legal sales to exist. This is a lie and a false premise that only those who are associated with the industry, including their lobbyists, are proffering as fact. It is not. This will only come to our city IF YOU LET IT! As all of you should know, about ten years ago, the City of Anaheim had over 125 cannabis dispensaries scattered all over the city. Some of these, approximately 8, were actually mobile units, like the Helm's Bakery trucks, that would roll up to your house with free delivery to those who wanted to make their purchase from the comfort of their own homes. We spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours to rid the city of these menacing businesses. These facilities brought Anaheim everything from fires to vagrancy to MURDER. They are so undesirable that they must offer potential landlords MUCH MORE than the listed rental rates as an incentive to lease their buildings. I personally was asked to participate in relocating some of these facilities out of Anaheim. Even after all of these years, vire are now down to about 10, we have spent millions of dollars more and incalculable amounts of time and energy with citywide youth programs with the Anaheim Boys and Girls Club, Cops 4 Kids, Higher Ground and the Anaheim Family YMCA in developing a DRUG FREE culture in our city. What kind of an example would this set for the thousands of Anaheim kids that we serve every single day that absolutely defies every effort made to keep kids away from drugs?? There can be no debate on the issue of marijuana being a "gateway drug" for a life of problems and addiction. It is a fact. 1225 WEST LINCOLN AVENUE 9 ANAHEIM, CA 92805 • {714} 772-7000 • FAX {714} 772-3372 RESIDENTIAL a COMMERCIAL 9 INDUSTRIAL * INVESTMENT WVVW. PAULKOTTREALTORS.COM Mayor Harm Sidhu Members of the Anaheim City Council May 3, 2020 Page 2 of 2 Anaheim has always been recognized for its ingenuity, creativity and willingness to bring a high quality of life to its community. This does not fall into any type of quality category for our city. We have been further blessed to have an economic engine that will continue to provide us with more prosperity in the future. I know that Disneyland is closed currently, but this is temporary and we must look beyond any sort of short-sighted action that we will soon regret. No other city in the world that is host to a Disney theme park will allow cannabis to be sold in their city! Even the federal government does not recognize any "legitimacy" of the cannabis industry. Proposition 64 allowed that each municipality has the power to govern whether or not to allow cannabis sales in their respective jurisdiction. Of the 34 cities in Orange County, only 2 have decided to legalize cannabis sales, which means that 32 of 34 (over 90%) have the good sense to forbid this type of industry. There are reasons they prohibit this. There is a very small percentage of consumers that legitimately utilize cannabis for medical reasons, which l feel is very reasonable. The good news is that they can go to Santa Ana to buy all they want whenever the need arises. Please continue to let our neighboring city serve this industry. We shouldn't care if they "corner the market" on this product. We have other resources in Anaheim that are the envy of every city west of the Mississippi River. As you know, I have been in the real estate business for 43 years and have seen, first hand, what this would do because I've seen it before in other cities. It will ruin shopping centers and neighborhoods. There will be many apartment buildings and condominium complexes in which no one (except users) will want to live. Have you consulted with your own Police Chief to see if this is even close to a good idea? Please do not consider taking the advice of the parasitic !'consultants" who have drawn your attention with campaign support promises. They have no standing in Anaheim, nor do they care what will happen to our city. They look at cannabis and Anaheim like Las Vegas looks at slot machines! Let them go back to Grange, San Clemente, Brea, or where ever they live to see if anybody there would be interested. Please stop this stupid idea now by voting to remove it from any further consideration..... PERIOD! I Riia[ Mo.. Respectfully, r aul .

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.

This battle was mainly about money and power. Britain and Spain managed to negotiate civil terms with Mexico but Napoleon tried to take advantage. He underestimated the seemingly small defenseless territory and people. He sent troops and lost. This is important to remember that the people are important in this town. They are not seemingly small and you should not underestimate them. Time and time again the people that you all claim to represent and take photo ops. with, speak to you and their wishes "fall on deaf ears." have comments and concerns about items.# 5, 13 and 14. Item #5 brings up the recent actions taken to drive out the city manager, to inevitably force his resignation and put our city into a vulnerable position during this current crisis. This is another example of an action taken that puts your agenda ahead of sound reason and strips away confidence and trust of the people. Do you understand what the people are experiencing right now? This isn't a matter of inconvenience for your town. It is survival. Must I explain that our district distributes over 10,000 meals a day now. It sometimes surpasses 11,000. We had 3 distributions from Second Harvest at our schools and one from Saddleback church in the last two weeks and more is needed. The distribution once a week at the Honda center comes up short for the people in Anaheim. They need more and you have the ability to help. I and many others feel you truly have a disconnect. Now, before you choose to be offended at these remarks let me continue. This is the end statement from the agenda today. A statement that would lead us the people at first to believe there is no impact monetarily. What is this double talk? This is why you have no trust with the people. "This report has no budgetary impact, but the salary increase will result in an increase in the City Manager's budget in the current fiscal year and the upcoming fiscal year." Of course there is a budgetary expense. You have to raise someone's salary to replace another. The person making this report is taking time out of the day to research and complete the report where they could have spent time on something else. Mr. Zapata will be compensated and time and energy has to be spent catching the interim up on the job that the acting manager was doing. Please stop trying to act as if this matter isn't vital to the internal business engine of Anaheim and its domino effect. The fact that only a short while ago you praised the work of Zapata and gave him the reins to execute the $15 mil.(reserve funds) dispense plan that he was supposed to come up with. You told the city of Anaheim that Zapata was the one you trusted. Some of you routinely say you are part time. You said mayor you have the idea but staff takes care of the details. Oh yes we listen and some of us believe what you say and take what you say verbatim. The forcing out of Zapata was a misstep and not advisable during this Govid crisis. Anaheim will be deficit spending next year. I move on to item #13 This is another example where you show that you are out of touch with your constituents. The only one month reprieve doesn't go far enough to help our renters. Even if people start to work today they will not be able to earn enough to get on their feet so quickly. I also need to point out that in your plan you give renters only four months to pay back their deferments. However you give businesses 5 years! We love our small business owners and wish them to get back on their feet but there is inequity in this equation. Renters need much more than 4 months which would double their rent payments. I don't want to accuse you of gentrifying this city but here is a perfect example of just how this will happen! Item #'14 Simple and clear. The 1 mil. should come from the 5.5 mil. allocated to Visit Anaheim. It makes no sense to take money from the folks that need it to the folks that do not. Mr. Mayor and council majority. You are not fooling anyone. No one believes that Visit Anaheim needs 5.5 million to survive this pandemic crisis. It's unbalanced and as hard as you try with your commercials and speeches. No one believes it to be true. Your residents are looking to you for leadership and you have let them down. Your homeowners and renters alike are looking to you for help. They are getting food from food pantries,some for the first time in their lives. They are scared. You have shown them irresponsible government and inequitable choices that lead one to conclude that you care more for the business community more than the residents. You care more for the tourist children than you care for the Anaheim children. Where is the money being spent? What is your plan? What are the expenditures? Where is the transparency? We need masks, we need testing facilities in place. WE NEED A PLAN. What is the overall plan to re -open this city? Who have you been collaborating with ? Have you been talking to experts? What are the facts? History has proved in the past that when people in power underestimate the people,well, you know how the story ends. Do right by the people council and put the people first. Give people a reprieve renters deserve just as small business to have more time. Please give them more time. Please be sensible and take the money from the 5.5 advertisement budget as this is the only sound decision to make. Power and money is not a driver or goad strategy in the end it will not win.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need —food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are there to hire people back and be part of the recovery. thank you for your efforts on behalf of our city in these unprecedented times, and I urge you to support vote for item 14 on the May 5 Council meeting agenda.

At the beginning of this crisis in March, Mayor Sidhu and the Anaheim City Council took decisive action to tide the city through and move to plan for a recovery boom. With at least 50,000 of 170,000 jobs in the city put on hold, people are hurting. The city has enacted an emergency, temporary moratorium on commercial and residential evictions to give apartment dwellers and business some breathing room as we move toward re -opening. I am in support of the Council assisting with funding on a program that will be utilized to help residents with rental repayments when the moratorium ends. The Anaheim Resort won't snap hack to full capacity all by itself. It's vital we position ourselves now to garner business and expand market share when the economy re -opens. I support and appreciate the city council for recognizing what Visit Anaheim contributes to Anaheim. Despite a nearly two-thirds reduction in staff, Visit Anaheim has already booked new major events for the Convention Center for when the crisis is over. The Response and Recovery COVID-19 Task Force of Anaheim are using Zoom conference calls to coordinate with Mayor Sidhu's office to distribute real- time assistance information, coordinate security to keep workplaces safe, connect management and workers to government assistance and protect residents from evictions or having utilities shut off. This is a great example of our government and businesses working for the people of Anaheim. Lastly, as a temporary economic relief measure, the Council's original action waived fees and penalties for any payor that opted to defer TOT during the COVID-19 crisis. This action would also temporarily relieve payors of paying interest should they defer TOT payments. I strongly support a continuation of this action. Thank for considering my opinion.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $g million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need —food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. .lust like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues.

I thank you for your efforts on behalf of our city in these unprecedented times, and I urge you to support vote for item 14 on the May 5 Council meeting agenda.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need — food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $3. million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work.
