Re: THIRD letter in Strong Support – Big A 2050 Project & Agreement; and Stadium
Development Plan with SRB Management
Dear Mayor Sidhu and City Councilmembers, Staff, and Members of the Community:
The men and women of the Anaheim Police Association (APA) thank you for your support,
once agaign, during the previous deliberations – previous outcomes well done! Especially the
city council meeting of September 29, 2020 in support of the previously mentioned and above
referenced site proposal and development Agreement negotiated between the City of
Anaheim and SRB Management. Thank you again for your efforts to-date.
Your approvals, along with that of the Planning Commission on September 9, illustrate the
tremendous level of support this plan has among Anaheim residents, businesses, families and
fans throughout the City of Anaheim and the region.
As we stated in our earlier letters to both the Planning Commission and to you the City Council
prior to the public hearing on September 29: the Anaheim Police Association (APA) has
consistently supported economic growth, development, and projects that benefit Anaheim
while growing the city’s budget and creating more opportunity and jobs for all. This is another
marvelous opportunity to continue in this tradition especially during such difficult times for all
in the country with Covid-19.
This project accomplishes the previous mentioned while greatly increasing the revenue
available to the city thanks to but not limited to: increased property taxes, sales, and hotel bed
taxes that will be paid by visitors along with other multiplier effects. Those revenues and more
ensures that vital services and programs important to Anaheim residents, including public
safety, are fully funded and/or least impacted.
Lastly and most importantly after the economic, jobs and morale boost: the closure and final
approval of this deal means that Angels Baseball stays in Anaheim!
The City Council agenda for October 6, 2020 includes this project’s required second reading as
number #19 on the consent agenda/calendar. As before, we strongly support this proposal
and urge your vote in favor again of bringing this project home. Please do not leave any fans
in the stands or runs on base!
Enthusiastically and Most Sincerely,
Edgar Hampton
President
Anaheim Police Association (APA)
