To the Mayor and City Council,
As an Anaheim Resident for over 30 years, I am shocked that the City of Anaheim is willing to give away over $1
BILLION DOLLARS to a Billionaire! The latest proposal to sell the stadium property to Angels owner, Arte
Moreno, went from Bad to Worse.
We the city of Anaheim are going to be the laughing stock of the nation if we let this go through. Please be
mindful of the decision you are making. If you are ignorant of the consequences that makes you a bad
representative. If you are knowingly participating in this deal for your own gain then you are a really bad
representative for the seat you hold.
The property next door to the stadium parking lot recently sold for over $4 Million/acre, yet the city plans to sell
the 153 acre stadium property to Moreno for $150 Million ( less than $1 Million/acre) and the deal includes the
Stadium and the Grove Theatre for FREE! This is outrageous!!!
To do this deal in the middle of a pandemic is also outrageous! Where is the transparency? Where is the public
input? I've never received a survey about this nor any correspondence. We deserve to weigh into this matter
because it is city owned property!
I DO NOT support the City selling the Stadium property with the current plan. VOTE NO, AND WORK ON A FAIR
DEAL FOR THE ANAHEIM TAXPAYERS!!!
YOU WILL BE VERY EMBARRASSED WHEN SRB/MORENO GET'S THESE ENTITLEMENTS APPROVED AND
THEN SELLS THE PROPERTY FOR 100's OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PROFITS!

You are putting trust in a man who doesn't even respect us! He wouldn't even keep our town's name!!
As our leaders, we expect you to keep this city sacred and protect it from those who would exploit us. We are in
no way getting fair market value for the property and the timeline for all these proposed retail and housing
promises isn't going to help us out for YEARS!! HAVE YOU NOT READ THE FINE PRINT? We have and the devils
in the details. I hope you will look closely at what this proposed agreement and plan DOES NOT OFFER and vote
No!
Please do the proper thing and VOTE NO. THIS IS NOT a great deal for the City of Anaheim and it's residents.
Do the right thing.
