Mayor and members of the City Council,
My name is Henry Hillebrecht and I am writing you as the Business Agent of Local Union
582 Plumbers and Steamfitters and Welders in the City of Orange, 1 mile away for the
Anaheim Stadium. I am in total support of the approval of a Zoning Code Amendment and
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the development of the Stadium
District Sub Area A Project (Angel Stadium Property).
I have always lived in the City of Orange 3 miles away from the Stadium, and as a kid
would ride my bike to the stadium in the 1970s. As I grew up, I worked in the Los Angeles
area 80% of my career. This project will provide thousands of high skilled jobs for the very
hard-working men and women in the Anaheim and surrounding areas. The OC Building
Trades are not just jobs, but we offer high skilled careers with a good middleclass wage and
great insurance and a good retirement all at no cost to the Taxpayer. Our Unions are all
self-funded.
This project will also provide veterans hire priorities, allowing them to be rewarded for
their service to our great country by earning a good wage along with benefits. All of this
will be achieved through a Community Workforce Agreement with the Los
Angeles/Orange County Building and Construction Trades Council.
This project will provide much needed housing, including 15% of affordable units and will
also provide something that the City of Anaheim is in great need of, (Parks and open space)
for local residents.
The Stadium Development will also provide commercial space for retailers, restaurants and
hotel’s in which will all bring in revenue to the City of Anaheim economy including the
General Fund.
Again, we are asking the City Council to approve this Historic Project. Also, please keep in
mind that Union Trades will bring the projects in under budget and on schedule.
Thank you for your hard work and service to the Great City of Anaheim.
Respectfully
Henry Hillebrecht
