Subject:Public Comment in SUpport of Item 19 on the October 5, Anaheim City COuncil
Meeting
My name is John Hanna and on behalf of the 55,000 members of the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters I
encourage the members of the Anaheim City Council to approve the second reading of Item #19, the Zoning Code
Amendments and Development Agreement 2020-00002.
The Council took a major step on September 29 to ensure that Anaheim would not only retain the Angeles but would
lock in this area of Anaheim as the economic and entertainment hub of Orange County.
With the significant economic hits Anaheim has had to absorb as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, your actions have
laid the groundwork for economic recovery for decades to come. There are many programs that Anaheim residents
need that will get funding as a result of the revenue generated by your support of this item on the second reading.
We also encourage SRB Management to finalize a Community Workforce Agreement with the Building and Construction
Trades Council that will also include the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters. We support ensuring a priority for
hiring Anaheim residents and attendees of schools and colleges serving Anaheim as well as veterans. We anticipate that
a final agreement will ensure a skilled and trained workforce for the entire project. We thank Ron Miller and Ernesto
Medrano of the LA/OC Building Trades Council as well as SRB Management, the Angeles , City staff and the City Council
for their hard work in making this vision for Anaheim come alive.
