Subject:Comments for 9/29 agenda
Stop the sale of the Angels!!!
As you prepare to address the many items on today's agenda, I must ask how can you have public hearings -
item 7 -without the public?
How can you make decisions on land use issues without the public in the room ?
How can you make decisions on how we work with providers who house and treat those who seek help in care
facilities and sober living homes without the public in the room?
There are so many things you could do to include those of us who truly care about our community unlike you
who are lining your pockets with resources with each and every decision you move forward! You have yet to
use a zoom environment during which we can watch and participate through public comments. You indicate
you want to open the city but you can't open the council chambers and allow folks inside to sit so not only
watch but comment as the process moves along.
You have yet to create an accommodation for those who would be unsafe in a closed space but would like to
share their comments, their voices.
You have an obvious fear and aversion of voices from those in dissent of your actions!
Item 7 - Public hearing
All the while you rush the sale of our city's greatest resource - the Angel's stadium and surrounding land. There
is so much wrong with this process that lacks transparency, honesty, and accuracy in the valuation and sale
arrangements. Once again the documents attached are intended to bury or misrepresent what is behind the sale.
The Angels don't even have to stay in Anaheim.
There have to be very questionable arrangements here and you know those will be discovered. Your hopes are
you can get this done before you are exposed. You're very behavior highlights your actions and likely illegal
practices in arranging for this mess of a give away. You have been elected, sworn, and indicate you will look
out for the communities you serve. For several of you that's been in question since day one. Others of you
offered some glimmer of transparency but that has long since gone.
As to other chamber processes, I notice for item 5 -the COVID-19 update - there are no written materials to
review and during the meeting the piss poor slides projected and presentation offer nothing but likely more
inaccurate and unsafe representations of what's going on in our city .
On item 6, as you review the 39 Commons plans again I must ask what are the low and very low income
housing units planned if any and the numbers and dates they will be available?
The chambers can't open soon enough. My hope is that by then most of you will be gone and not allowed to
further rob from we the citizens of Anaheim.
