The Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters representing hundreds of carpenters who reside in Anaheim and
55,000 carpenters in our region, recommend that the Anaheim City Council approve the staff
recommendations including but not limited to the zoning code amendment and development agreement. For the
development of the Stadium District Sub-Area A Project(Angel Stadium Property).
This historic effort by the Council will cement Anaheim as the centerpiece of Orange County. Not only because it will
ensure that Angel baseball will stay in Anaheim. Not only because we will see a new stadium that will bring in more fans
and revenue. Its historic because the City is showing that public-private partnerships can work, can bring high quality
projects to Orange County on time and on budget. It is doing this with a commitment to excellence in the construction
with a community workforce agreement that will provide a skilled and trained workforce. This means on time and on
budget construction. This means a drug free work force. This means a priority for Anaheim residents and graduates
schools and community colleges that serve Anaheim. It means a priority for hiring Veterans.
It will also provide a revenue stream to the City as well as an opportunity for local residents involved in the construction
as well as in the operation of planned facilities to be able to work closer to home, improving their quality of life and
minimizing the carbon footprint of the project.
We do support the project and want to thank all involved, including Ernesto Medrano of the Orange County/Los Angeles
Building trades Council. We encourage the Council to ensure that staff will continue to work with our union and the
Building trades to ensure the entire project, much of it subject to prevailing wage requirements, will have a skilled and
trained workforce.
