Subject:Angels Baseball in Anaheim
I’m very supportive of the City’s approval of the development plan and adoption of Ordinance Nos. 6497 and 6498 to
secure the future of Angels Baseball in Anaheim for at least the next 30 years. The City of Anaheim has been
significantly and disproportionately affected by the COVID pandemic and the governmental responses and orders in
response thereto. So keeping the Angels in town as a valued community partner supporting dozens of non-profit
causes and organizations that work to make Anaheim a better place and improve the lives of Anaheim residents is
particularly critical at this time. The benefits are countless: $38 million per year in net city revenues to help fund police,
fire and paramedic services, street maintenance & repairs, community services, parks & recreation; 5,175 new housing
units of apartments and condos, including 777 units of much needed affordable housing apartments; over 30,000 good
paying jobs in construction, many in partnership with the building trades which will prioritize hiring veterans and local
Anaheim residents; more than 45,000 permanent jobs, separate from those at the stadium; and a 7 acre centerpiece
park open to all Anaheim residents, plus another 5.2 acres of parks throughout the development, plus 11 acres of open
flex space. The City of Anaheim is a critical junction in 2020 and the City has the opportunity to take action to ensure
the City’s continued success for years to come.
