PRESENT: Chairman Harry Sidhu and Authority Members Stephen Faessel, Denise Barnes, Jordan Brandman, Lucille Kring, Jose F. Moreno, and Trevor O'Neil (all via teleconference). STAFF PRESENT City Manager Jim Vanderpool, City Attorney Robert Fabela, and Secretary Theresa Bass. ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA: None PUBLIC COMMENTS: Two hundred and forty-eight (248) electronically submitted public comments related to Public Financing Authority Item No. 08. — See Appendix. Chairman Sidhu recessed the Public Financing Authority at 5:55 P.M. and reconvened at 1:33 A.M. on September 30, 2020. PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY 8. The Anaheim Public Financing Authority will consider the release of approximately 151- acre site and facilities including Angel Stadium, adjacent surface parking and certain improvements that the City is considering to sell to SRB Management, LLC from the First Supplemented Site Lease and First Supplemented Lease Agreement related to city AGR- bonds. 1699.0.K.0.1; AGR- RESOLUTION NO. APFA-2020-001 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF 1699.03.0.2 DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY authorizing the execution and delivery of a Second Supplemental Site and Facility Lease to a 1997 Site and Facility Lease and a Second Supplemental Lease Agreement to a 1997 Lease Agreement and authorizing other matters related thereto. Chairman Sidhu announced that this action by the Public Financing Authority is related to the previous City Council action pertaining to the development of Angel Stadium (September 29, 2020 Council Meeting, Item No. 07), he believed the Authority, as Council, has already had a robust discussion, and this was a technical item to release 151 acres of the stadium and parking lot from bond agreements. Anaheim Public Financing Authority Minutes of September 29, 2020 Page 2 Finance Director Debbie Moreno explained this item pertained to the release of the site and facilities, including Anaheim Stadium, which was needed to fulfill obligations to clear encumbrances from the title of the property, as it is included in the Second Supplemental Site and Facility Lease to a 1997 Site and Facility Lease and a Second Supplemental Lease Agreement to a 1997 Lease Agreement between the City and the Public Financing Authority related to 1997 and 2007 bonds. She noted that each applicable lease allows property to be removed from the leases as long as certain requirements are met and consents obtained and this was the Authority side of what Council just approved. MOTION: Chairman Sidhu moved to approve Item No. 08 as presented, seconded by Authority Member Faessel. DISCUSSION: Authority Member O'Neil did not believe further discussion was warranted, as this item was procedural and technical in nature. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Authority Member O'Neil moved to call the question, seconded by Authority Member Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 6 (Chairman Sidhu and Authority Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES — 1 (Authority Member Moreno). Motion carried. During the roll call vote, Authority Member Moreno explained that he could not support this item as he had additional questions based on a previous mayor's statement regarding development entitlements to raise revenue to re -invest in the stadium and how that related to the current tenant's responsibility to maintain and upgrade the stadium under the existing lease. MOTION: Chairman Sidhu moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. APFA-2020-001 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ANAHEIM PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY authorizing the execution and delivery of a Second Supplemental Site and Facility Lease to a 1997 Site and Facility Lease and a Second Supplemental Lease Agreement to a 1997 Lease Agreement and authorizing other matters related thereto, seconded by Authority Member Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 6 (Chairman Sidhu and Authority Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES — 1 (Authority Member Moreno). Motion carried. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to conduct, without objection, Chairman Sidhu adjourned the September 29, 2020 meeting of the Anaheim Public Financing Authority at 1:40 A.M. on September 30, 2020.

My family and I are huge fans of the team and are so happy the city has negotiated a fair deal for taxpayers and the team. It's wonderful that the plan will include more than $320 million for General Fund and community benefits. My family and I strongly support the deal negotiated by the city, supported by the city's Planning Commission, that will keep the team in Anaheim until 2050 and longer.

" Councilwoman Denise Barnes To the Mayor and City Council, As an Anaheim Real Estate Broker for over 35 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. 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 an outrageous give away of Anaheim taxpayer property, at a time when Covid-19 has caused an upside down budget for Anaheim. Plus, Moreno has the ability to sell the entire entitled property for a huge profit. The City should at least include a clause in the transaction that should Moreno decide to sell, the City has the first right to buy back The property at Moreno's cost, rather than allow him to profit at the City's miscalculations. 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!

A class action lawsuit by Anaheim citizens past and present should be brought against the Mayor of Anaheim and all council members who voted in agreement of this sale.

Mr. mayor, you should not have been on the negotiating committee, given the support you received for your mayoral campaign from the Angels Organization. As a member of the negotiating committee, you represented the residents of Anaheim. In my opinion, the agreement reached for the sale of the property does not represent us well at all. You should be ashamed you would dare allow such a deal. One I dare say would sell the property for far below its value! SRB could turn around the day after the sale and sell the property for the true value and make a huge profit. I wonder if whoever advised you, Mr Sidhu, is receiving a kickback from the buyer.

RFSIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL ® INDUSTRIAL * INVESTMENT September 28, 2020 Mayor Harry Sidhu Anaheim City Council City of Anaheim 200 S. Anaheim Boulevard Anaheim, CA 92805 RE: Angel Stadium Transactior Dear Mayor Harry Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council, Although the proposed project renderings may have an attractive facade, this transaction represents one of, if not the largest travesties in the history of the City of Anaheim. I believe the City of Anaheim is being fleeced in an amount of over $500,000,000.00. The process of the deal is what is morally and perhaps criminally suspect. There are those who would want us to think that this is very complicated, but it really is not. Although there are some complexities, the short, simple version is that the Angels decided that they did not want to stay in Anaheim and play in Angel Stadium any longer. No one forced them to terminate their already incredibly favorable lease agreement with the City of Anaheim. They tendered a letter to the City of Anaheim exercising their option to effect said termination. The Appraisal that was completed was manipulated at the beginning of the process and at the end in order to "match" the agreed upon purchase price of $325,000,000 (now, $320,000,000). What a coincidence that the Appraisal just happens to identically match what was "negotiated" as the purchase price. This is absurd! There is data galore that indicates that the land alone has a value of at least $4,000,000 per acre and even with the Appraiser's low development assumptions (roughly 10% of the proposed development), two of our developers have estimated the value to be closer to $1 BILLION dollars! How can anyone associated with the City of Anaheim feel that selling what I refer to as, "the crown jewel" of all public assets, for a price point that is at least 25% of FAIR MARKET VALUE would be a good thing to do? Remember, your allegiance is to the City of Anaheim and its taxpayers and stake holders, certainly NOT to the Angels. 1225 WEST LINCOLN AVENUE • ANAHEIM, CA 92805 • (714) 772-7000 - FAX (714) 772-3372 RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL - INDUSTRIAL - INVESTMENT WVM. PAU LKOTTR EALTORS. COM Mayor Harry Sidhu Anaheim City Council September 28, 2020 Page 2 of 3 We have never needed to be more financially responsible than we do in today's times. As a city, we are bleeding money, dipping into our emergency reserves. Why would we sell an asset worth 4-5 times the proposed price point when we are already in trouble with no TOT replenishing our coffers. All city departments are being asked to cut back, including public safety, first responders at the level of 10-20%. Why would we jeopardize public safety just so the Angels can have a "sweetheart deal" to purchase our stadium? If this makes any sense to you, please let me know how. There are those who would want you to be so gullible to believe that future development would more than make up the difference over time (completion in 30 years!). Their numbers are projected, issued and incorporated into the "staff report" by the Chamber of Commerce. You know, the same people that told us that fireworks and cannabis would be good for Anaheim. I would ask you to trust your own good common sense that this type of development would occur anyway, if the Angels stayed or left (as THEY proposed doing). The false premise being erroneously proffered by the consultants is that the Angels would leave if the City of Anaheim wanted to sell the property at a fair price closer to market value. We cannot negotiate from a position of fear, but rather from a position of fairness. If we do, we will end up the losers! I do not want the Angels to leave, but that does not mean that we should allow them to "blackmail" us by staying ONLY if we give them one of our very valuable prized possessions which should be valued at certainly no less than $600,000,000. The difference of approximately $450,000,000 translates into an immediate benefit to the City of Anaheim of $18,000,000 a year IN PERPETUITY (4.00%) which further translates into incredible benefits for our city which includes increasing sworn police presence, increasing fire/emergency protection, enhancing parks and public places, having a clear financial pathway to fund the pension liability and more! I believe we would still realize every future benefit that is being proposed today with a similar development proposal on a one -of -a -kind property that has spectacular potential in the Platinum Triangle where 3 major freeways converge. When you were elected to your respective offices, you swore to defend and protect the City of Anaheim against issues that were detrimental to our city. This is one of them. As you are well aware, the Samueli's are proposing a fabulous "sister" project adjacent to this one, but without this incredible hardship to the City of Anaheim. We were promised that if the Stadium were to be sold, that it would be at FAIR MARKET VALUE. This is neither FAIR nor at MARKET VALUE. In fact, it is not even close. The fact that when the initial proposal was introduced on a Friday before a holiday weekend and then had the Planning Commission vote on this incredibly important matter, before they even had a chance to read it, digest it, investigate the legitimacy of the deal, inquire as to public input and more, they were asked to vote on approval. I am not sure why an issue of this magnitude is always rushed. This is one of the largest transactions ever before the City Council. Mayor Harry Sidhu Anaheim City Council September 28, 2020 Page 3 of 3 Please don't let consultants RUSH YOU into a foolish decision. I would recommend that we allow this project time to have adequate public input to see what the true merits of the project would be. Only then can we make a determination to see if we really need to "fire sale" our most valuable asset. With respect to the fact that you have already agreed to a 5 year escrow, you owe it to yourselves and more than that, you owe it to the people of Anaheim, to investigate a proposal of this magnitude for yourselves, without "consultant" or Chamber of Commerce interference, as to whether anything I mention merits further discussion or consideration. This does not pass "the proverbial smell test" on any level. I am always available to speak further on this issue, if desired. Respectfully, Pa I T. Ki Pr sident Jennifer L.

Dear Honorable Mayor Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council, On behalf of West Coast Arborists, Inc., an Anaheim -based tree service contractor, and as President of the Peralta Hills Homeowners Association, I am writing to express my enthusiastic support of the Anaheim Stadium deal. The deal to retain Angels Baseball secures many community and economic benefits to the residents and business owners of Anaheim, Orange County and the Southern California region. The development of homes, offices, hotels, dining, shops, entertainment improves the economic vitality of this community which has been greatly affected by the current pandemic. There is no time better than the present to jumpstart the region's economy by creating an opportunity to inject new City revenue through property, sales and hotel tax. There is also a community benefit that will positively impact many people by creating more affordable housing, developing a flagship park, and creating a desirable location for retail, dining and entertainment. As an Anaheim business owner for over 48 years and a long-time Anaheim resident and Angels fan, I implore you to approve and support this plan and proposal for the greater good.

I believe the citizens of our community are not being adequately informed of the true value of the property. I believe the mayor and council members owe their constituents an honest and open disclosure of what is being offered up for pennies on the dollar. I believe if the common man, who is now distracted while being consumed with the responsibilities and losses created from current circumstances related to the pandemic, were to be informed of repercussions from this particular give away he would be sickened. The mere fact that the parties involved have so little regard for our unique and beautiful city that the name Anaheim is being removed from the stadium and the team is an unmitigated tragedy as well as another financial give away. Anyone who cares for the people and the welfare of our community should be shame stricken. The lure of personal gain and power is a true sickness which threatens the heart and soul of those who have been given the gift of trust from those they represent.

It seems very throughout and well presented. Although I like what I see, I can't help but think about how this will affect those that live in this city. Although the price tag for this land is 320 million, more than half of that is NOT going to be paid by the potential new owner, Mr. Moreno.If the residents are going to be responsible for more than half of 320 million, we should have a say in this but means of voting. As the presenter for the Zoom meeting states, we are able to express our views on the subject, but that is MUCH different than having a vote on the matter. We should not have to take up the slack for someone who is more than capable of paying the full price. What is going to happen if the new owners want to make changes to the plans that benefit residents? Who is going to stop Moreno from making changes that benefit himself? Again, we should not be taking up slack for a billionaire. Another issue to consider, Anaheim is a BIG city and the residents of West Anaheim are not likely to see much change, such are property value. This plan should not be rushed and all residents should have a voice on this matter.

The City states that this is the best deal and the only way to get more would be to nix the stadium and the Angels, But That is NOT True! The City didn't try to "get more"...they simply catered to Arte Moreno. Maybe the Samuelis/Ducks, or Disney, or a developer would have offered more for the property and then they could lease the stadium to the Angels. Then the City gets alot more $$$ and the Angels stay and play in Anaheim! But the City didn't ask for other offers ... they didn't even try! The property is being sold to SRB, not to the Angels, yet the deal includes a "promise" from the Angels to play in Anaheim for the next 30 years. What if the city sells to SRB, then SRB sells to someone else in 2,5,7 years from now, then the Angels decide to move to "where ever". What can the city do to force them to stay??

I am submitting this public comment in support of the Angel Stadium Development Plan coming before the City Council on Tuesday, September 29, 2020. SA Recycling has been operating a metal recycling business in Anaheim for over 30 years. The Anaheim recycling facility is located on 20 acres with millions invested in fixed equipment and provides employment for over 150 employees. SA is involved in the community and it has substantial interests in the financial conditions of the city of Anaheim. SA's owners feel that this deal is not only a good one for the Angels, but it's an even bigger win for Anaheim. The city will no longer be on the hook to pay for stadium renovations or for the construction of a brand new stadium. This development with amplify what Anaheim has to offer its residents, baseball fans, and tourists, and fulfill the vision for the Platinum Triangle. And of course, this plan means the Angels will be staying in Anaheim until 2050, at least thereby providing long term assurance of income to the city general fund. We also believe that a city should be in the business of owning and operating stadiums, especially when private parties are willing to own and operate the facility. The stadium area will be the new place to shop, eat, drink, and of course watch the Angels play, along with many other entertainment and sporting activities. The benefits for our community include over 12 acres of parks and open space, along with 5,175 new housing units which will be built, including integrated affordable housing which Anaheim desperately needs. These benefits area only available if the city sells the property. The city invested in this property over 50 years ago and now it is able to reap substantial benefits for this investment. The development will add to over 30,000 jobs during construction, many of which will be good paying, highly skilled building trades jobs, as well as 45,000 other permanent jobs post -construction, and the economic development case for this proposed plan is undeniable. I urge you to support this deal to support our community and it's residents. Jeff ara►a r. Esq.

Do Not Sell. Let the Los Angeles Angeles move to LA and if you do sell, we should be asking for fair market value for the Stadium and surrounding land. Put the Stadium up for bid.

Dear Mayor Sidhu and City Councilmembers, Staff and Members of the Community: On behalf of the men and women of the Anaheim Police Association (APA) who serve all for the great city Anaheim who live, work and visit here every day: we are proud to rise once again in strong support, and urge you to as well strongly support, the site plan proposal and development agreement reached between the City of Anaheim and SRB Management. We are so proud this was approved by a 6-1 vote of the Anaheim Planning Commission during its special meeting on September 9, 2020! As our previous letter sent to the Planning Commission weeks ago stated and what you already know: The APA has consistently supported for almost the last twenty years economic growth, development and projects/businesses that benefit all while growing the budget, creating more opportunity and jobs for all. This specific project in question is excellent for so many reasons. It starts with some of the great community benefits, which include: • 777 affordable housing apartments integrated into market rate apartments in the planned total of 5175 units. • A seven -acre central urban park, publicly accessible for the use of resident and visitors, in addition to approximately five acres of additional parks spaces throughout the development area. We believe there is near total support citywide that keeping our beloved Angels Baseball team in Anaheim is a great thing, and this Agreement does exactly that: by committing the team to staying in this city until 2050, with options for up to another 25 years. Great for Anaheim, and great for those of us who are Angels fans and staff the events. Not to mention the businesses, children and families and more who also benefit and love our Anaheim franchises! Other benefits include but are not limited to: Opening up the 150 acres that the stadium is currently sited on to development opportunity means more opportunity for the city to enhance revenues thanks to new property taxes, sales taxes and hotel bed taxes collected. These and other new opportunities at additional revenues for the Budgets, help to fund city services like public safety, community programs, help for those in need and more. Supporting public employees, jobs and public safety is a top priority for not only us at the APA but consistently by all citywide! Next, the Master Site Plan for the proposed plan calls for: • 2.7 million square feet of office space. • 1.75 million square feet of retail, restaurant, and hotel space. • 943 hotel rooms. And other exciting benefits! This is once again great news for our local economy and regional benefits and jobs; for companies who want to bring new vitality to the area around the stadium; and for creating once again another world -class entertainment, retail and dining destination experience in Anaheim on the same level or hopefully better than L.A. Live has now. In closing, this once again means more benefit for all residents and businesses of Anaheim, and more revenue to support and boost programs in the city budget that serve everyone, like our parks and recreation, community services, fixing and maintaining streets, and paying for fire and police services to name just a few. Not to mention providing new business and revenue and opportunities for so many existing and future businesses. Covid-19 has been devastating to our businesses, our families, city budgets and more -- and we need to do all possible to enhance revenues immediately and provide as much relief and hope of future growth and opportunity. Again, as we did in our September 9 letter to the Planning Commission, the Anaheim Police Association strongly supports this proposal and urges the Anaheim City Council, to vote in strong and unanimous support of it as well!

I just wanted to express my extreme concern about the proposed sale of one of the City's biggest assets. I can't see in any way the how the proposed sale agreement as presented to the public is good for the City or it's residents. When I first learned that the stadium was to be sold for $350 million my first thought was " that price sounds really low for 150+ acres" in that location. In doing a little research my thoughts were indeed correct with surrounding parcels going for considerably more money. Then as this story unfolds the price has been lowered again by roughly half. The explanation being that he is going to build a park and some housing? I am not sure what the reason would be for the reduction, maybe to reduce property taxes? I don't see in this agreement that he is bound by any reasonable time frames to complete the housing or park. Or why are we reducing the price to have SRB/MORENO to design and construct. If the City is in need of a $170 million park and housing why doesn't the City do it on its own? So I guess my question would be is WHY? Why would the Mayor and the council vote to give a billionaire an iconic long time Anaheim asset for less then half price? This is the same billionaire that sued our City to REMOVE the Anaheim name from it's team name that it was contractually bound by when he purchased the team. Mr. Moreno has made numerous attempts to move the team to other locations when he doesn't get what he wants. The bottom line is Mr Moreno has no loyalty to Anaheim or it's residents. His actions in dealing with the City has proved this during his ownership of the team. Anaheim does not owe Mr. Moreno a dime for anything much less giving him this property for a fraction of its value. Mr. Moreno purchased a World Series winning team and much to my dismay, I have watched over the years how his stewardship of it has driven this team to the bottom of the league. I guess this proposed deal is a reward of several hundred million dollars from the City for something that I am not understanding. The past history of Mr. Moreno and his dealings with the City leads me to believe that he can't be trusted to live up to any agreement that he and the City would engage into. A few years down the road and he will be back at the table to renegotiate. This proposed convoluted arrangement is ripe for this to take place. And the City residents will be the ones that this impacts. Years of court and legal fees to come with this agreement as proposed in my opinion. Just as an example, what if after the SRB/MORENO group takes control of the property and they decide to sell some or all to another group or entity for a huge profit. That would make this City council's decision on this proposed agreement look even more foolish and irresponsible. In my opinion the structure of any agreement with SRB/MORENO group should be straightforward and should be a set price for the land and stadium and it be a done deal. No reduce the price for this or that or thresholds that have to be met. Very simple! Why should this sale be any different then any other land transaction by the City that would involve public discussions, appraisals and open market bidding for this property. There seems to be a very fast push to ram this deal through with little to no oversight. I don't believe the SRB/MORENO group are the only ones that would be interested in this property. I guess I could keep going on but I will stop with this. I believe the proposed agreement as it stands is a bad deal for Anaheim and should be flatly rejected with a "NO" vote by the City Council.

Last December, the City Council took the first important steps in this process. What you have before you on your agenda will finalize that purchase and sale, and give approval to the development plans put forward by SRB Management. So what's in it for Anaheim? The deal points are not just simple, they represent an amazing milestone in the history of the Platinum Triangle, and of Anaheim: • $320 million purchase price for 150 acres of stadium property and Angel Stadium - $150 million in cash, and $170 million in community benefits to the City of Anaheim Those community benefits include: • Nearly 800 much needed affordable housing units integrated into the 5175 market -rate housing units in the proposed site plan • A seven -acre city park freely accessible to and for the use of the public, in addition to another five acres of parks as required under the existing zoning requirements And of course, with that property comes the potential for great development opportunities to help that site come alive with additional employment, sales tax generation, and hotel tax generation for Anaheim. Included in the Master Site Plan is approval for up to: • 2.7 million square feet of office space • 1.75 million square feet of retail, restaurant, and hotels • Up to two hotels with a total of 943 hotel rooms With an additional 11 acres of open flex space, which can be used for either additional future development, outdoor activities and uses, or be home to a future new stadium in the event the current stadium is replaces, we see an outstanding plan for the future of that site. 1 Banting Suite A, Irvine, CA 92618 www.ochcc.org ocrtcc T: (714) 953-4289 ORANGE COUNTY HISPANX CHAMBER of COMMERCE Cell: And of course, on top of all that and of the utmost importance to Angels fans, the team commits to staying in Anaheim until 2050, 30 years from now. With options for extensions at the discretion of Angels Baseball, it adds another 25 years to that, meaning the Angels could be here up to 55 years from now under this agreement. All told, this is an incredible deal, and an incredible point in the history of Anaheim and Orange County. The chance here to open up this property to income generating potential and job creating potential that hasn't existed before is too good to pass up. The community benefits it provides to Anaheim and to all local residents is a testament to the ability of the city's negotiators and Angels' ownership willingness to work together for the improvement of the community. I urge your support of and vote for approval of finalizing this sale and approval of the proposed development agreement and site plan.

The benefits for our community include over 12 acres of parks and open space, along with 5,175 new housing units which will be built, including integrated affordable housing which Anaheim desperately needs. The development also means revenue generated for the city in the form of property taxes, sales taxes, hotel bed taxes, all of which will add up to $7 billion in total regional economic output every year, and $1.2 billion into Anaheim's general fund. Add to that over 30,000 jobs during construction, many of which will be good paying, highly skilled building trades jobs, as well as 45,000 other permanent jobs post -construction, and the economic development case for this proposed plan is undeniable.

Public Comment From: Julie Showalter Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2020 8:29 AM To: Public Comment Subject: Anaheim Stadium To the Mayor and Council Members, I am outraged that our Council majority believes that it is ethical to sell city assets, as in the Stadium land, without consent of the citizens of Anaheim AND under value! All this done while the mayor will not allow in - person council meetings. I have lived in Anaheim for 33 years. I am proud of our city and volunteer my time to Love Anaheim, and as a board member on the public utilities. I conduct myself in a professional manner, representing the citizens of Anaheim. I expect the Council to do the same, especially considering the huge responsibility that you hold. I urge you to cancel the sale of the stadium property in the interests of all citizens of Anaheim. The stadium property is a huge asset to our city and public property should not be sold without full transparency to, and in agreement with, the residents.

With over 45 years of Real Estate experience in the Orange County Real Estate market, this sale has undervalued the property. I would ask you not to approve the sale and give the community more time to review and ask questions such as, was an independent appraisal completed? Those who oppose the sale, can they complete an appraisal prepared by an independent appraiser at their cost? I do not see why we need to give billionaires a sweetheart deal at the expense of the citizens of Anaheim. If the owner wants to move to Long Beach let him, and he can go play at Dodger Stadium for a few years. With Regards, William ( Bill) Leming - RCCD J, Inc.

PENN Even if you could possibly justify your support of the proposed sale (which when held to the light of day you can't) the process itself is fatally flawed. Closed door meetings, no public AI�r1ct.Is N. wcc,nnAN input, a mayor who appointed himself to be the sole negotiator, and a manipulated price and MECAN G DEMSHKI manipulated negotiations in secret is in strong contrast to a process that was in place before the Asl{LEIGH E.

MILLER his chief assistant, we were working toward a fair and amicable resolution for the continuation Firm A(hninistrator of the Angels in Anaheim, beneficial to both the Angels and the city. Suddenly the Angels, without cause, walked away from the negotiations. Why? The meetings had been fruitful. The why soon became abundantly clear. Within a year, our then strong orange County mayor, Tom Tait, would be term limited out of office. If they could elect a majority under their 3 MacArthur Place, Suite 800 P.O. sox 2555 thumb, they could then manipulate the flawed public plan without public hearings or public Santa Ana, California 92707 input. But still such a nefarious plan would not work without eliminating the ability to force the Tel: (714) 434-1424 Angels hand. Fax: (714) 434-3600 The Angels then manipulated a one year extension of their option to stay so Sidhu and the Inland Empire Angels could proceed outside of any public scrutiny. This is all public knowledge. 7121 Magnolia Avenue, Suite A What I learned through many meetings and a report we were working on to give to the full Riverside, CA y25f)4 council is now protected against public disclosure. .ref: (side s34-4o06 I urge the council to make public the entire history of the negotiations. The citizens of Anaheim deserve no less than full and fair disclosure of both our negotiations and the negotiations undertaken by Mayor Sidhu. Instead, what we are now getting is a council except for Moreno or Barnes which refuses to allow public comment and blocks the truth from coming out by making an utterly false claim that they are not allowed to allow public comment due to an order in March made by Governor Newsom.

The latest proposal to sell the stadium property to Angels owner, Arte Moreno is a joke. What's next, city residents fund a new stadium for the guy! I heard that 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 an outrageous give away of Anaheim taxpayer property, especially at a time when Covid-19 has caused an upside down budget for Anaheim. Proposed low budget housing units (what is low budget housing in OC, it will cost more to build than what can be recouped, no low income person can afford new buildings) will downgrade our city to the likes of Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas, which will bring down our beloved city (if it truly is low income housing, which I doubt tremendously, Arte would not do that if he is smart and he is, that is why he is rich and manipulating). 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! THE TRANSACTION SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE A CLAUSE THAT ALLOWS THE CITY THE FIRST RIGHT TO PURCHASE AT THE BUYER'S ORIGINAL COST SHOULD THEY DECIDE TO SELL. WHY SHOULD SRB PROFIT AT THE EXPENSE OF ANAHEIM TAXPAYERS? As our leaders, I hope you will look closely at what this proposed agreement and plan DOES NOT OFFER.... NAMELY, THE MARKET VALUE FOR THE PROPERTY ( $150 Million for 153 acres, how much do the taxpayers get for the Stadium and the Grove? $0... that's how much!). Your NO VOTE can take Anaheim and their residents to the next level, which you should be thinking about Anaheim's taxpayers. Please do the proper thing and VOTE NO. THIS IS NOT a great deal for the City of Anaheim. Trish Hachten Cory Hachten Lisa Kaliekau Jennifer L.

Sept. 29 Council meeting Please accept our support to keep the Angels in Anaheim. This will position our city alongside other U.S. with professional sports' teams. Additionally, the deal will improve the economy of business owners, residents, and the City of Anaheim. The development of housing, offices, hotels, dining, and shops will bring paying customers notjust during the baseball season, but all year round, allowing stadium visitors and residents with plenty to do before and after games. All that economic activity will result in tax revenue for the city, and will support jobs locally. This proposal will go a long way to helping us boost our economy and support the creation of thousands of jobs. We look forward to having the Angels until at least 2050 and to continue working in a prosperous city.

The Anaheim StStadiumDevelopment would bring 5,175 David Pollock, Moorpark housing units tothe City ofAnaheim, a significant benefitforAnaheirn— and the entire region —which disproportionately suffers from the Cheryl Viegas-Walker, El Centro impacts of our state's cost -burdened and over -crowding housing rates. On Septernber5, 2O2Othe SCAG Regional Council voted to adopt the Connect SoCa|,which isthe region'a2O2O-2O45Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy. Connect SoCa| was the result of four years of planning during which the agency's elected leadership, member agencies, and staff heard the concerns and needs of numerous stakeholders as it pertained to issues such as long range mobility and housing needs, and balancing them with economic, environmental, and public health goals. SCAG supports the Anaheim Stadium Development proposal due to its innovative solutions and the timely inclusion of so many progressive land -use elements, which the ConnectSoCa| also identifies as public The Anaheim Stadium Development proposal, sitting at the doorstep of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), offers an important mobility solution not only for those who will be new residents to the area, but also for those who will visit the new destination for work, entertainment or sporting events, or other planned commercial activities. In terms of public policy, Anaheim Stadium Development's proximity to ARTIC serves as a key component of local, regional, and state efforts to combat climate change and reduce congestion by providing an alternative to driving alone. In addition, the project location is also within short commute from many job opportunities within Anaheim and nearby cities. The Anaheim Stadium Development's inclusion of 5,175 housing units, including 777 integrated affordable housing units, makes this proposal stand out as a regional example. Housing in proximity to transit options and with easy access to jobs is a key strategy to achieve improved mobility for our existing infrastructure and to achieving our region's climate and greenhouse gas reduction goals. The addition of nearly 15 acres of total parkland, including a seven -acre urban park, further addresses and brings enhanced livability to the proposed development's new residents and guests. This development enhancement is consistent with the Connect SoCal's "Urban Greening" strategy, which supports projects that enhance and expand neighborhood parks, establish green streets and alleyways, develop non -motorized urban trails and provide safe routes between residences, workspaces, and commercial centers, and mitigate urban heat islands. For the reasons outlined above, SCAG supports the proposed Stadium Development Plan. This development would be beneficial to the City of Anaheim and the entire SCAG region as it fulfills important regional goals identified in Connect SoCal.

I want to address the 7.b agenda items in regards to the Angel Stadium sale. I urge the council to reconsider the offer because of the evident disparities between it's actual value and what you plan to settle for. Anaheim has always given these larger companies a leniency in price and taxes and we should not continue to make the same mistake. The stadium is estimated to value from $650 million to $1 billion, but yet you are selling for only $150 million. We cannot enter another deal that allows our city's assets to be taken advantage of for a companies profit for the next 45 years.

However, the work that we do, and the things that we accomplish in cities like Anaheim and throughout the county, and for so many hard-working young people, can only be accomplished thanks to the support we have from supporters like Angels Baseball and the Angels Baseball Foundation. As just one example, the Angels have been instrumental in helping to supply critical personal protective equipment for Corpsmembers engaged in COVID-19 relief work. Without the Angels staying in Anaheim, we would have a tremendous hole in the hearts of our community and in that of baseball fans, yes, but we'd have an even larger one in our ability to accomplish our mission. This project is so important to Anaheim and the broader community, and I respectfully urge your aye vote and approval.

The property has an estimated value of $650 million and the Mayor wants to sell it for $150 million. It's insane. How can the council justify this when the city has taken a severe hit financially due to Covid. This defies logic. The council should wait until we can have open meetings and public hearings. Cathy Steele Public Comment From: Anthony Serna Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2020 10:52 AM To: Public Comment Subject: YES for Angel Stadium Development I support the Angel Stadium Development Plan coming before the City Council today. I grew up in Anaheim, and I continue to live in Anaheim. This city is DYNAMIC because leaders have made decisions that ensure the city continues to develop with distinction. This decision today will pay off for residents and the community for generations. No different than Field of Dreams — build it and they will come. Development will lead to more investment into the community. Let the Angels manage stadium renovations, and the building of a future stadium. Let the City and its residents take advantage of a financial agreement that pays off now, and continues to pay off with the Angels locked in until 2050, and likely beyond. This commitment gives other investors and businesses the confidence to develop new projects, new investments, and deliver new jobs for locals. This means more revenue to the city's bottom line for improvements and safety for every neighborhood in Anaheim. City council — set an example of teamwork, and get the deal done.

This will position our city alongside other U.S. with professional sports' teams. Additionally, the deal will improve the economy of business owners, residents, and the City of Anaheim. The development of housing, offices, hotels, dining, and shops will bring paying customers notjust during the baseball season, but all year round, allowing stadium visitors and residents with plenty to do before and after games. All that economic activity will result in tax revenue for the city, and will support jobs locally. This proposal will go a long way to helping us boost our economy and support the creation of thousands of jobs. We look forward to having the Angels until at least 2050 and to continue working in a prosperous city.

I, personally just found out about this 2 weeks ago. Being a resident, I feel some communication should have been sent out, however I have received NOTHING. Anaheim Stadium was purchased with bonds and belongs to the residents of the city, not to just the city council. During this pandemic you appear to be cheating the people you are suppose to represent. Especially now that people can't come to City Council meetings and voice their opinions. Right now I feel Mayor Harry Sidhu, Councilmembers Stephen Faessel, Jordan Brandman, Trevor O'Neil and Lucille Kring are selling out the people of Anaheim, I'm sure they are getting something from Arte Moreno for selling their soul, you appear to be corrupt city council members and should be ashamed. Also, this is not the time to be making major impacts to the city, when the residents are unaware and have NO VOICE to combat YOUR decisions. You fought Measure L, to help those working in Anaheim get a higher minimum wage, how was that choice helping your constituents? You fought district elections, because you appear to have wanted those with affiliations to Disney and Arte Moreno, your lost. You don't want this to go to the people to vote on as you know you will lose again. Remember we are the people that vote you into office and we are the same people that can get you removed. Do you think Mr. Arte Moreno will be helping you, think again, he will have already taken what he wants away from the residents and won't care what happens to you. Are 466 low income housing units worth 350 million dollars? WOW $751,000 per unit, worth way more than my house. What an elegant gift to those in the low income bracket. I agree we need low income housing, however at what price to the city. We also need this type of housing due to the fact that two of the largest employers in the city don't want to pay over minimum wage, maybe the council should spend time encouraging employers to raise their minimum pay to employees so that one day, maybe they can purchase a home in the city and have more positive involvement in the city. I am against the sell of the stadium at this time, however you have already entered into a legal sale without the people of Anaheim's knowledge.

Mr. Mayor, Council members Faessel, Brandman, O'Neal and Kring As we guessed, our pleas to stop this Angel deal fell on deaf ears in December of last year. You all moved ahead and as we expected and since have learnt that the city will only be getting $150 million dollars for one of the most treasured and valued property that City of Anaheim owns. How ever you cloak it, this deal is a bad deal for Anaheim residents and the taxpayers. Many Anaheim real-estate experts have pegged the land to be worth well over $600 million! You are not only selling the land, you are including the Stadium and the Grove Theater for a meager $150 million dollars. What are we getting in return? Affordable housing and the park ( that we tax payers are paying up front to up keep) that could be delayed over 15-25 years! If the price was not a slap in the face to the taxpayers of Anaheim, you egregiously have decided to drop the name ANAHEIM from the teams name! Shame on all of you. As a trustee representing Anaheim Union High School district students, families and taxpayers, I can only tell you that if you had allowed a fair process you would have netted upwards of $600 Million for this property. Our students, schools and our families could have used the funds not only for education and sports but many projects to invest in our youth of Anaheim. You have abdicated your duties and responsibility to us tax payers and residents of Anaheim! I urge you to stop this vote and begin a more transparent process to sell the property.

September 29, 2020 To Mayor Sidhu and City Council Members: Re: Proposed sale of out city owned land at the Angel Stadium I've lived in Anaheim since 1956. 1 was a member of the "Junior Angels" when the team relocated here. One of my aspirations was to become the best 211 baseman that ever lived. I attended multitudes of Angel Baseball games as a youngster and since. I was a real estate broker for 15 years as well. The sale of this land, as proposed, will leave Anaheim with the damning history equivalent to that of the Ku Klux Klan being in Anaheim nearly a century ago. The sale of this land to Arte Moreno and his group will cause a violent economic catastrophe for Anaheim residents and taxpayers for decades to come. The sale price and terms is an atrocity by all accounts. Appraisals are an art -form but the real value of a sale is based on a meeting of the minds with all known facts and agreed to by both sides. We've seen numerous professional teams such as the Los Angeles Clippers being sold for well over "appraised" valuations. Same with houses. The appraisal used in this Stadium deal is only that, an indication of value. Mayor Sidhu's dictatorship, not allowing any other Council members to be on the "negotiating" committee, is part of the basis for this disastrous outcome that is to be voted on again today. Mayor Sidhu IS NOT ACTING IN THE CITY'S BEST INTERESTS on this matter. Mayor Sidhu really should have been on Arte Moreno's negotiating team as this seems to be the effect of Mayor Sidhu's decisions. The sale price and terms of this land is grossly undervalued. This causes all types of lack of adequate transparency. Residents have not had ample, certainly not maximum and meaningful notice of meetings and opportunities to be heard on the sale of this property. Mayor Sidhu is annihilating the maximum future value of this property for residents and taxpayers in Anaheim. Mayor Sidhu didn't seem to take into account that Arte Moreno and the Angels Baseball team needed to stay in this geographic real estate market due to Major League Baseball rules. Arte was seemingly talking to Tustin, CA and Long Beach, CA. Arte Moreno, would have had to walk away from 3 million "built-in" visitors/patrons that he was receiving in Anaheim had he decided to go to another city. In Long Beach it is doubtful Arte would have wanted to compete with Los Angeles Dodgers fans in LA County given the Dodgers have much deeper pockets and much longer history than the Angels. Mayor Sidhu didn't seem to take into account the extreme "motivation" for Arte's need to stay here with the billions of dollars of new development around Angel Stadium that Anaheim taxpayers have provided for that area. And to have Disneyland which provides 25+ million visitors only 4 miles away, and which Anaheim taxpayers have contributed mightily, is another factor Mayor Sidhu didn't seem to take into account. Mayor Sidhu is giving this land away for a song to Arte Moreno and his group. It is a complete 100% mistake to say this land can only be sold to Arte Moreno. This Angel Stadium has brought negligible amounts of financial or other benefit to the city of Anaheim over the past 55 to 60 years. The ability to say we have a major league baseball team in Anaheim brings about, in Anaheim's case, MINIMAL extra benefit of name recognition. We are blessed to have Disneyland which is known world -over. To be without a major league baseball team, we would be losing nothing in terms of name recognition. For Anaheim residents only to be able to have this land sold to ONE individual as opposed to opening up the bidding to all developers in our world of 7.8 billion people, is UNCONSCIONABLE and REPREHENSIBLE. ANY DEVELOPMENT that Arte's team will build upon that property is 100 time less beneficial to the city of Anaheim and future residents than if marketed to ALL COMPETING INTERESTS. Mayor Sidhu orchestrated a plan to allow Arte Moreno TO HAVE NO COMPETITION in the bidding process. Arte Moreno and Harry Sidhu are RAPING the city of Anaheim and all residents currently and in the future, by not maximizing the value of the last golden value asset of real estate of this size in Anaheim. What Anaheim is receiving in return is peanuts compared to the real value. Anaheim will not be able to pay for our unfunded pension liabilities through the sale of this property. We get horrible value in return for the gem of this real estate. I support a lease of this property. The "price" of this property went up NO LESS THAN 81 times from 1964 to 2019. If it were only to go up another 81 times in the next 55 years it would be $2.6 billion, MINIMUM. The utility of this property for future generations would be better known in 55 years than presently. Mayor Sidhu is not thinking about the future value and utility of this property for future generations. He is like a little boy seeing grandmas golden coins and going to buy a candy bar with those golden coins. Mayor Sidhu is irresponsible for looking out the best interests of Anaheim residents. I ask that the Mayor and all members of the city council, for the sake of city residents now and into the future, vote to NOT ALLOW this sale to go through as structured. Tell Arte Moreno to lease this land or find another location for his failing baseball team. Anaheim residents should not be giving Arte Moreno a gift of public lands in which he can then finance a successful baseball team. Anaheim residents and children, some yet to be, need more responsibility from our Mayor and city council that what they are now getting if this sale is voted for. Please vote NO TO THIS SALE TO ARTE. Since 1956 1 have never seen or felt as passionate about a measure in the city of Anaheim as this is. THIS IS FRIGHTENING if this sale goes through. Sincerely, Neal E. Runsvold Jennifer L.

I grew up going to a number of Angels games. I witnessed a lot of great wins as well as some heartbreaking losses. I remember the stadium being "open", then being closed for the Rams coming to town and then reopened and remodeled after the earthquake that knocked down some of the scoreboard. I know the history of the Angels with the city of Anaheim and that is why I feel it is important to have my voice heard. The owners of the property (city of Anaheim tax payers) are being robbed by the city of Anaheim City Council and Arte Moreno, the owner of the Angels with the deal to purchase the stadium and the surrounding land for only $150MM. The owner of the Angels' position is that the structure is in bad condition and needs a complete remodel. This may be true. In fact, isn't this why the Angels have only been paying $1/year for rent to utilize the building. This is also why they don't pay any taxes to the city on parking revenues or concession sales ... which was part of the deal when they acquired the property. I have been in the real estate industry since 1998 and have specialized with commercial property sales and leasing since 2007. I am very familiar with how property evaluation works as well as how to value a property for development. This sale, from the city of Anaheim City Council to the owner of the Angles doesn't take any of these standard measures and competencies into account. This is the only development deal in Orange County I have ever heard of where the buyer of the property is given a below market value for the property (roughly $350 million) and then is able to subtract the costs to remove the current structure (which is the only valid part of the equation being used), but then able to reduce the purchase price by environmental study costs, parking study costs, other area studies, etc. Even in the most corrupt city, Los Angeles, developers haven't gotten such a sweet deal by the city council. Doing an actual true evaluation of the stadium and the land around it, the value of the property should be much closer to $900 million, yet the city council wants to give it away to an ownership group that doesn't even support the city that supports his team for a GIFT of $150 million dollars. This is a farce! This is taking advantage of the true owners of the property (city of Anaheim tax payers) and is not in their best interest. I know the concern is that if this deal isn't done, that the Angels will move to another city. While that may be true, the city of Anaheim tax payers would still make out better financially if the Angels left the city than putting this deal together for only $150 million. There are plenty of developers that would be willing to purchase this A+++ location of land in central Orange County and bring more revenue to the city than this deal does. I implore the city counsel of Anaheim to do the right thing as the face of city of Anaheim tax payers. Will your legacy as a city council member be that you were able to put a win -win deal together, one which was mutually beneficial to the city of Anaheim taxpayer as well as Arte Moreno's huge corporate entity or will your legacy be that you were responsible for giving the most valuable real estate in Anaheim away? The choice is yours.... and people WILL remember.

VOTE NO Mayor Sidhu, Hello my name is Sammy Francis and I live in district 2 next to John Marshall park in Anaheim Shores community. On the subject on agenda item for the decision on the sale of Angel stadium and Anaheim Grove area land to Art Moreno's company SRB Tuesday 29th please consider our plea to vote No by the city councilTo not approve THE SALE under the current terms and reconsider negotiation for a higher per acre sale Closer to market price or consider an alternative lease plan that will generate annual income to the city. This sale Of angels land to Art Moreno's company Srb at $150Million for the 153 Acres land is a gift not a sale. When the market is at $4 million per Acre for such property. That is a 75% discount , how can we sell it so low and not have The requirement Of SRB to build a 7 acre park and 466 affordable units in this Area shouldn't cost $170 million to build . It seems that only 7% of total units being built in this area will be affordable housing. It is unclear who will foot the bills for affordable housing. It is not proper to have affordable housing in the platinum triangle that is too expensive. What is needed is to build cheap low housing structures or take over Motels or apartments in similar low income areas of the city, and convert to low income units and make them all affordable similar to the motel on la palma bordering Buena Park. The 7 acre park for the public will not be utlilized by the rest of the city if there are no free and ample parking since it is in the stadium area so then it will be essentially a private park for those that live within walking distance and paying customers of the stadium , restaurants and businesses in area. Meanwhile the whole city's money is being used for this park??? Regardless of the facts we feel as your constituents that this decision is super rushed and has not been fully tranparent to the public and residents of Anaheim. The terms in this deal definitely faver SRG and Art Moreno tremendously and not favoring Anaheim at all. They could sell in future for much more and reel in the profits , are there any clauses that prohibit that or return to city at purchase price? As I read the agenda it seems to indicate that expense for the stadiyum and Grove are exceeding income for lease. I understand part of deal is to keep Angels here for a number of years but we should not give away the farm just to have a team here besides it is not called Anaheim Angels. The name change should be part of the deal to return to Anaheim. So please vote NO at this time and come up with a better deal that benefits and profits for Anaheim and it's taxpayers. The residents need a better explanation of this deal and demonstrate why we are making this deal and not considering other options like leasing or selling at market price.

I feel that many people are focused on the fair market value of the land itself, and are not thinking about the plan established years ago for the platinum triangle, the temporary and permanent jobs it will bring to our City, the benefits of having a Major League Baseball team in a tourist destination, and the positive impact on our local businesses, restaurants, and hotels for years to come. In addition, it is fun for our communities's Angels fans, who love sports and the sense of pride that comes form supporting your "hometown team"! I have been following the pros and cons of this sale, and everything I have read allows be to believe this is very beneficial for Anaheim. I did however read that the Mr. Moreno could turn around and sell this property after the deal for a profit. I do not believe this would happen, as I feel he is invested in this project. If there is any truth to this statement, I strongly suggest adding the first right to purchase the property back for the sale price to the contract under consideration. This may be in the contract already. By bringing this up and getting it out to the public, I feel our community would be more comfortable with the sale of the land. Another thing that would get more Anaheim residence on board with this whole project is renaming the team, or rather eliminating the words "Los Angeles" from the title. We are Anaheim, and not Los Angeles. In all honesty it's kind of confusing :-) The stadium is known as the "Big A" - and I don't even think people would be upset if the team was just called the "ANGELS"with no specific city attached. It is our team in our city. When you attend or watch the games it's just "TIME FOR ANGELS BASEBALL" Thank you for taking the time to read my comments. Personally, I see nothing but positive things coming from this sale for our community..

Anaheim Blvd. Anaheim, CA 92805 Dear Mayor Harry Sidhu, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Faessel, and Councilmembers, The North Orange County Chamber of Commerce would like to express its support for items 7 and 8 on tonight's Anaheim City Council agenda. Together these items will secure the sale of Angel Stadium and the approximately 150 acres it sits on, as well as approve of the Master Site Plan and Disposition and Development Agreement proposed by SRB Management for the future of the stadium and property. While Angels Baseball has called the City of Anaheim home for decades, Angels fans can be found throughout North Orange County and beyond, including Buena Park, Fullerton, La Palma, Stanton, and many more. The love that baseball fans have for the Angels knows no political boundaries, and the incredible benefit that having Major League Baseball in Anaheim and Orange County is practically incalculable. When our major employers look to expand, or new ones consider North Orange County as a place to expand or launch a new presence, one factor they look at is the economic development potential and desirability. Clearly, with "America's pastime" located right here in Orange County, the Angels are an important factor in making the entire region a more desirable, more high profile, and more marketable destination for workers, job creators, industries, and for tourism, all of which are important to the economic health of the cities in North Orange County, not just Anaheim. The proposed public benefits of the plan are commendable, and will be not just a great addition to the Anaheim and the Platinum Triangle, but create a new regional hub that will activate the property to support jobs, visitors and tourism, and recreational activities year round, not just during the baseball season. As you move forward this evening considering these important issues, we hope you will bear in mind the historic opportunity and agree that the potential here is too good to pass up, and this plan is truly a "home run" for Angels Baseball, for Anaheim, and all of Orange County.

As you prepare to address the many items on today's agenda, I must ask how can you have public hearings - item 7 -without the public? How can you make decisions on land use issues without the public in the room ? How can you make decisions on how we work with providers who house and treat those who seek help in care facilities and sober living homes without the public in the room? There are so many things you could do to include those of us who truly care about our community unlike you who are lining your pockets with resources with each and every decision you move forward! You have yet to use a zoom environment during which we can watch and participate through public comments. You indicate you want to open the city but you can't open the council chambers and allow folks inside to sit so not only watch but comment as the process moves along. You have yet to create an accommodation for those who would be unsafe in a closed space but would like to share their comments, their voices. You have an obvious fear and aversion of voices from those in dissent of your actions! Item 7 - Public hearing All the while you rush the sale of our city's greatest resource - the Angel's stadium and surrounding land. There is so much wrong with this process that lacks transparency, honesty, and accuracy in the valuation and sale arrangements. Once again the documents attached are intended to bury or misrepresent what is behind the sale. The Angels don't even have to stay in Anaheim. There have to be very questionable arrangements here and you know those will be discovered. Your hopes are you can get this done before you are exposed. You're very behavior highlights your actions and likely illegal practices in arranging for this mess of a give away. You have been elected, sworn, and indicate you will look out for the communities you serve. For several of you that's been in question since day one. Others of you offered some glimmer of transparency but that has long since gone. As to other chamber processes, I notice for item 5 -the COVID-19 update - there are no written materials to review and during the meeting the piss poor slides projected and presentation offer nothing but likely more inaccurate and unsafe representations of what's going on in our city . On item 6, as you review the 39 Commons plans again I must ask what are the low and very low income housing units planned if any and the numbers and dates they will be available? The chambers can't open soon enough. My hope is that by then most of you will be gone and not allowed to further rob from we the citizens of Anaheim. Pat Davis Sent from my phone.

I am writing to ask City Council to please postpone or continue the vote tonight that will largely cement the deal to sell Angel Stadium and acres around it. The residents of Anaheim should have an opportunity to attend Council meeting to share their concerns. According to the Orange County Register three of our previous mayors commended on the sale. Mayor Tom Daly (Mayor 1992 to 2002) "urged council to reconsider the $320 million deal and "avoid the embarrassment and lawsuits that are sure to follow this one-sided deal". An article in Orange County Register today said one of Mr. Tate's ( former Mayor of Anaheim 2010 to 2018) concerns : City leaders are lobbying the state to allow Disneyland to reopen, but they won't open public meetings to the public. He was quoted as saying " Why would you sell the city's largest asset during the middle of a pandemic when your council meetings are done by phone? If it was a good deal, you wouldn't have to sneak it through during COVID". Not sure how Mr. Curt Pringle( former mayor 2002- 2010" ) feels. He discussed history but no opinion. I understand the owners of the Honda Center have plans to build similar project around Honda Center. Article in paper (OCRegister) said they did not ask the City of Anaheim for any money back for their project. Thank you for this opportunity to express my concerns. I believe SRB Management is not paying enough for the acreage and stadium. We the residents are really the ones taking a loss. Sent from my iPhone 1 Public Comment From: Alicia Gis Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2020 1:30 PM To: Public Comment Subject: Anaheim Council Meeting Regarding Stadium Deal Dear Council People and Mayor, I urge you to re -start the negotiation process on the stadium property rather than forcing the current negotiation through. Every part of the current negotiation process has left Anaheim taxpayers and the minority council in the dark. Based on the current lawsuit and what I've read in local papers (Voice of OC & OC Register), the stadium deal and process may even be illegal and in violation of the Brown Act. Here are some additional reasons myself and other taxpayers want to re -start the negotiations with more transparency: • There is nothing stopping SRB Management from turning around and selling the property. SRB is practically incentivized to sell the property considering we are giving it to them for $170 million when it's easily worth double or more. • This will create more low -wage jobs in Anaheim that will require more low-income housing. Yet, the current deal doesn't require the development of low-income housing for decades. Even if that housing came sooner it's not enough units and there are serious questions about who would get those units. • It's really shady and in poor taste that Arte Moreno has financed the mayor's campaigns and now the mayor is leading an effort to give Arte Moreno's SRB Management the stadium property for less than half of its worth. - We aren't even able to weigh in during Council meetings at this time. Other cities & representatives have made a point to use a platform like Zoom to allow for live public comment. Until Anaheim can resume in -person council meetings or can find a way to give adequate opportunity for the public to weigh in, we shouldn't be moving this negotiation forward at all. • Anaheim doesn't even get its name in the Angel's team name.

The reality is, we the people, own that stadium. The reality is, the council was "hired" by We the People to represent us- the city residents, not a billionaire that don't even live within the city. This is nothing but a heist. In a time when anaheim bas a deficit of over $700million, we cannot afford more corporate welfare. Not only this, but the fact that Mayor Sidhu won't allow us, the people, to attend meetings and make comment, either In person or via zoom, is criminal and shady governmental practice at best.

The latest proposal to sell the stadium property to Angels owner, Arte Moreno, went from Bad to Worse. The property next door to the stadium parking lot recently sold for over $4 Million/acre and property along the 5 freeway in Anaheim recently sold for nearly $5 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 an outrageous give away of Anaheim taxpayer property, at a time when Covid-19 has caused an upside down budget for Anaheim. Plus, Moreno has the ability to sell the entire entitled property for a huge profit. The City should at least include a clause in the transaction that should Moreno decide to sell, the City has the first right to buy back the property at Moreno's cost, rather than allow him to profit at the City's miscalculations. The City states that this is the best deal and the only way to get more would be to nix the stadium and the Angels, But That is NOT True! The City didn't try to "get more"...they simply catered to Arte Moreno. Maybe the Samuelis/Ducks, or Disney, or a developer would have offered more for the property and then they could lease the stadium to the Angels. Then the City gets alot more $$$ and the Angels stay and play in Anaheim! But the City didn't ask for other offers ... they didn't even try! It seems that someone besides Moreno must be profiting from this deal.

As a long time resident of the city I am dead set against the present deal. I don't understand the urgency in getting the sale done now. What is Arte Moreno going to do? He isn't going to move the team. Where would he go? There isn't a city especially in this economic climate that would be able to give him hundreds of millions in public funds to build a new stadium. I also hate to break it to you but baseball is on the decline. Both attendance and tv ratings are on a downward trend. What is the downside in waiting until next year and getting a new evaluation? From the amount of cash the city is receiving I think this is a bad deal.

As you know, these items represent the next step forward for the completion of the sale of Angel Stadium and the stadium's approximately 150-acre property to SRB Management, and approvals for the development plan as proposed by SRB for the future of the stadium property. After many months of hard work and negotiations between SRB leadership and the City's negotiating team, led by Mayor Harry Sidhu, have proposed a great deal for both Angels Baseball and for the City of Anaheim. In fact, the Anaheim Planning Commission agreed, and gave the development plan a decisive 6-1 vote of approval at its September 9 meeting. There's much in the plan that Anaheim can be proud of and look forward to in the coming years, including: • Millions in additional combined property, sales and hotel bed tax revenue to the City, projected to be $6.6 million in 2025 and reaching $38.3 million by 2050. • Over 30,000 construction -related jobs, most in partnership with the building trades and many utilizing local hire programs to prioritize Anaheim workers. • Over 45,000 permanent jobs throughout the development site at full build out. • A combined $7 billion in total economic output in the region per year. • $320 million sale price for Angel Stadium and the property - $150 million in cash plus $170 million in community benefits. We can all be grateful to the Mayor and the negotiating team for the incredible community benefits which they fought for and which SRB Management agreed to deliver. This is what truly makes this entire deal a winner for Anaheim residents. Those benefits include: Build a Strong Local Economy - Promote and Brand the Anaheim Community Create Networking through Business Development Opportunities Represent Business Interests in Government - Political Action ANAH�EIMAnaheim, Phone: 714-758-0222 2099 S. State College, Ste. 650 CA 92806 www.anaheimehamber.org OF COMMERCE 5175 total additional housing units, including apartments and condos, of which 777 will be affordable housing units fully integrated into the market -rate community. A seven -acre flagship city park, fully open to and available to the public, which the developer will retain responsibility for management and maintenance of. An additional 5.2 acres of parks through the development, plus 11 acres of open flex space for recreational use. And this plan moves Anaheim forward in the long-awaited vision of fulfilling the original vision of the Platinum Triangle, creating a destination like L.A. Live at the Staples Center, or around Petco Park in San Diego. The plan envisions 2.7 million square feet of office space for businesses, plus 1.75 million square feet of commercial space for the retail occupants, restaurants, and hotels that will bring this property to life, create jobs, and generate income and tax benefits for the City of Anaheim year round, not just during the baseball season. Speaking of which, there is of course what many regard as the most important part of this deal: It means that the Angels will stay in and keep playing here in Anaheim until 2050, at least. Again, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is glad to see this long process and the hard work of the negotiators produce this great deal for the City of Anaheim and we encourage the City Council to follow the lead of the Planning Commission and vote in favor.

Have you forgotten your fiduciary responsibility to the people of Anaheim? Where is the transparency, the trust, the best and sound economic decision in this business transaction. This city is not in the business of subsidizing a sports team by handing its owner millions of dollars and the council has lost site that the land is considered acreage in the "platinum triangle" with access to transportation arteries, soon a mass transit regional station, exceptional climate, shopping centers, beaches, Disneyland, the Honda Center, and a viable workforce. The pandemic has had a devastating effect on the state, the city, the small businesses, the tax base, the famililes, our psychic. The lack of money is a global disaster. We find it difficult to believe that Mr. Moreno's company and/or his beneficiaries will be capable of building the affordable housing in 25 years. It has been 14 years and the Angels have not done well. He has fired his GM so that will take time for selection and to rebuild his team. Another season without fans, therefore no income. Hasn't hid company suffered financially too? Don't you think that before any fire station, park, or housing be built, Mr. Moreno's projects will come first? We resolve that you accept the advice of our former Mayor Tait.

Is it possible for the buyers/developer(s) and City Council to seek and approve further discounts to the sale price for additional community benefits? 2), Under this agreennent, is it possible for the buyer to sell the property or portions of the property? 3) Does the City of Anaheim need to approve the sale of the property, or any portion of the property? 4) Will the buyer need to seek assistance from the state or federal governrnent (e.g. CE1QA exemptions, housing Subsidies, affordable housing requirements adjustments) to complete this project as envisioned? 5) What is the status and scope of the Community Workforce Agreement? I hope that the City will address these questions, preferably in writing, prior to making its final decision, Thank you for your attention to these matters. Sincerely, Thornas J. Umberg Senator, 301 District Public Comment Subject: FW: Thoughts on the Big A -----Original Message ----- From: Andy Murphy Sent: Monday, September 28, 2020 4:18 PM To: Big A <BigA@anaheim.net> Subject: Thoughts on the Big A Hello Mayor and members of the city council, I am a resident in your district and wanted to write to give my thoughts on the upcoming vote at tomorrow night's meeting regarding the sale of the Angel stadium and surrounding property. Some members of the council are concerned about the reduction in price from the 325 million in December to the estimated 150 million. If this of concern, I would suggest the council release the demands that low income housing and park space be part of the plan. You can also find another property near by to build a new fire station and recover that money. Then you should be able to get the full 325 million asking price. This is alarge parcel of land that the city owns. However, as it is, the city gets virtually nothing for its investment. There is no property tax revenue since it is a city owned property. As you are aware, the cost to upkeep the stadium exceeds the ticket return value that the city receives under the current lease. I feel that the city should not be in the property management business. It is best to sell this property and let a developer bring more value to the city. Once the parcel is built out and individual condos and businesses are sold, the city will receive loads more value as it is developed in the form of property taxes. This is a win for the city as it is a continuing annuity that will keep giving back to the city. The stadium (or new stadium if that may be) will define Anaheim for the next 50 years or more. Without a baseball team, the land is worth significantly less. Just look how much of the platinum triangle construction has been on hold pending the outcome of the stadium deal. Once the stadium deal is confirmed, you will see a great increase in activity and investment in and around the platinum triangle. Many times it has been mentioned that members of the council are upset over the naming of the "Los Angeles" Angels. I am disappointed too, but a business owner has the rite to name his or her business however he or she feels inclined. The city lost millions of dollars battling to keep the Anaheim name with the team in court, and the city lost. Note that other teams are named after the larger greater area but their stadiums are actually located in a different city (New York Jets, New York Giants, Atlanta Braves, Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers, and I am sure there are many more that I am not aware of. 3 of these are in new stadiums that opened in the last month). In conclusion, I support the sale of the Anaheim Stadium property to the development group. Lets please stop the delays and get this exciting project going in Anaheim ASAP. Thank you, Andy Murphy Anaheim Resident 1 Public Comment From: Mike Capuano Sent: Monday, September 28, 2020 5:42 PM To: Big A Subject: Angel Stadium Response BigA, I am not happy with the ton of buildings that get added to the Angel Stadium parking space if the Anaheim City sales it to the Angels owner and group. I have always been a huge Angel fan forever. Getting into the Angel games has always been so easy, and the parking was always so great. I am sure there will be a huge change to getting into the Angel Stadium if all of those things get added to the Angel parking area. If you compare the Angel parking to Dodger parking, they both currently have tons of space, and it is best for the fans. But when all of those buildings get added to the Angel parking, it will be a huge change, and getting into the stadium will be much difficult. And traffic in that area will grow so bad. Between me and most of the Angel fans, we would love for the City of Anaheim to continue to own the Angel Stadium, and keep it the way it is now. If the owner wants some updates to the Angel Stadium, that would be okay for the Angels. But selling it to him, and all of those huge increases are not good for all of us fans. Selling it to him would be okay if he never adds more buildings in the parking area. But, if the city does sell it to him, make sure no more buildings are added, and he changes the name of the team from Los Angeles Angels back to Anaheim Angels. That is the team that was the championship in 2002, and the team was owned by Disneyland. They did a huge change to the stadium when they owned it, which is how beautiful it is now. The owner should focus on better pitching then adding more buildings in the parking area. Mike Trout, who is the greatest baseball guy in MLB, will never get a championship unless the Angels get much better pitching. That should be what Arte Moreno should focus on instead of buying the Stadium and parking area.

With over 45 years of Real Estate experience in the Orange County Real Estate market this sale has undervalued the property. I would ask you not to approve the sale and give the community more time to review and ask questions such as, was an independent appraisal completed? Those who oppose the sale, can they complete an appraisal prepared by an independent appraiser at their cost? I do not see why we need to give billionaires a sweetheart deal at the expense of the citizens of Anaheim. If the owner wants to move to Long Beach let him, and he can go play at Dodger Stadium for a few years. With Regards, William ( Bill) Leming - RCCD J, Inc.

No different than Field of Dreams — build it and they will come. Development leads to more community investment. Let the Angels manage renovations, and the building of a future stadium. Let the City and its residents take advantage of a financial agreement that pays off now, and continues to pay off with the Angels locked in until 2050, and beyond. This commitment gives other investors and businesses the confidence to develop new projects, new investments, and deliver new jobs for locals. This means more revenue to the city's bottom line for improvements and safety for every neighborhood in Anaheim. I was raised in Anaheim, and I'm now raising a family in Anaheim. City council — set an example of teamwork, and get the deal done.

The City initially sold 150 acres for $320 million. If we use the initial sales prices SRB Management is coming back to the City and residents of Anaheim and saying. From the 5,175 residential dwelling units, we will build, the City of Anaheim will pay us $123 million for 466 affordable homes. That means we are paying $2,673,913.04 so SRB Management can provide discounted rent. SRB Management also wants you to believe that renters and/or owners just want a home and having something like a park to accommodate the fifteen to twenty-five thousand residents that will live here. They need to provide something like a park, so they are asking Anaheim residents to pay them $46 million for a 7-acre park. SRB Management will also be able to take advantage of state and federal funds, which is good for them. This should be taken also into consideration. As I have warned you in December this deal would turn out something like this and the residents would get angry and you would be sure to have three things. 1. Lawsuit (Happening) 2. Recall (Recall effort against the Mayor is underway) 3. Ballot Initiative (Pending) As you may know, I co-chaired a statewide ballot initiative and many people have asked me to do a ballot initiative to reverse this deal. I am well experienced in doing this. If I do take this task on here is the basic premise of the ballot initiative. The deal would be canceled as it never happened. The land if sold would have to go to a competitive bid, and voters would decide on the winner. Finally, any development, sports, entertainment venue, etc. Must include Anaheim in its name and no other locality or municipality, including but not limited to Los Angeles can be used or utilized. Therefore, I would reject this deal. If you believe this is a good deal. Then let the citizens of Anaheim vote on this and approve it. With hundreds of millions of dollars in unfunded pension liability, giving up $170 million would not be wise. Also, let me remind you this is Anaheim, in Southern California. When the Chargers left San Diego, the City didn't suffer. Our land is more valuable without a team there. Therefore, if we want the Angels to stay in Anaheim then it should be a mutually beneficial arrangement. This only benefits SRB Management, not the City of Anaheim. So please do the right thing while you still can.

This action suffers from the same Brown Act problems and lack of transparency that resulted in the prior approval of the Sale Agreement. Tonight's action is nothing more than a rubber stamp of the inappropriately negotiated agreements developed by the Negotiating Team, who were required to meet in public in compliance with the Brown Act. This is even more egregious because the Council refuses to face the public to hear its comments, as required by the Brown Act, and continues to withhold public records of communications between the City, SRB, the Angles, and other people influencing this transaction. If the Council has any respect for its citizens, it will pause this action until all information about the backroom deals has been disclosed, the transaction is able to be fully vetted, and the public is able to participate in the meeting in real time.

My family and I are season ticket holders and lifelong Angel fans. We support the deal negotiated by the city that will keep the team in Anaheim until 2050 and longer. The $320 million for Anaheim Taxpayers will go a long way to help the citizens of Anaheim. The commercial development of the land surrounding the stadium will help create retail space, restaurants, and hotels. The property and sales tax dollars generated by these businesses will benefit the citizens of Anaheim. The creation of additional office space will help attract new businesses to the city and housing units will provide much needed housing in the community. Parks and recreational space will address the needs of our youth and help to keep them active and healthy. Lastly, the creation of approximately 45,000 permanent jobs is much needed as we begin to rebuild our city after the devastating effects of our resort closure due to the covid pandemic. This closure has affected up to 80,000 workers who are dependent on Disneyland and the convention center. What originally began as an attempt to flatten the curve and keep people safe has now morphed into an economic crisis. This prolonged closure and the governor's unprecedented refusal to issue theme park guidelines has had a catastrophic impact on our city. The job creation and the hiring of locals and veterans will help people get back on their feet! Thank you. William R. O'Connell III General Manager (05185) Best Western PLUS Stovall's Inn 1110 W.

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!

This deal already unnecessarily enriches Moreno at the expense of Anaheim citizens. Now that our city is facing a severe fiscal crisis, gifting hundreds of millions of dollars to a billionaire is unconscionable. • To begin: Moreno was already getting a substantial discount over the property's appraised value (without a stadium in place), because the Council was proceeding from the flawed premise that keeping Angels Baseball on the property was the only possible use for this land -- and that doing so was more important than securing the best price for this once- in -a- lifetime, centrally -located parcel for Anaheim and its citizens. • In a city that can't/won't replace playground equipment until we can persuade Disney or some other sponsor to slap their name on it, giving Moreno's organization a $46.2 MILLION credit for a park on his property is simply obscene. This is an amenity that increases the value of his property; public access will be far more limited than to a neighborhood park. If Moreno wants to build a playpark for drunken adults in the middle of his complex, then let him pay for it with his own money. • The Covid crisis has shown us the problems with having a city economy centered on one particular industry. It is likely that the sports, entertainment, and leisure sectors will go through long-term changes that we do not yet understand. Let's start working towards a diversified civic economy, rather than going with a deal that doubles down on tying the welfare of our city and its citizens to the well-being of one particular industry. Please do the right thing for our city by saying NO to this deal in its current form and going back to the drawing board for a new deal that values the welfare of Anaheim and its citizens over that of the Angels and Arte Moreno's bottom line.

Also, Anaheim taxpayers will receive the many positives of having this new development, and not have any of the financial burden of renovating an old Stadium, or building a new one. And of course — the plan means the Angels stay in town until 2050 at least, working with a number of organizations like ours to bring tourism dollars to the destination. As our leaders, I hope you will look closely at what this proposed agreement and plan has to offer. Your support will take Anaheim and its residents to the next level, and it will ensure that an incredible community partner, Angels Baseball, stays in Anaheim and can continue doing good work for members of the community alongside us for decades to come.

In case the matter continues I will provide my feed back I have followed the Angels since my dad took me to a game in Los Angeles. When they moved to Anaheim, we were in OC and came to Monday night family night to watch Nolan Ryan for $1 in the view section. My parents are now both gone, but my daughter takes me to a game every year for Father's Day. Will the Angel legacy of family continue? I thought so as I used to take church groups to games. This team owner is not from that era. Anaheim and this owner should have come to an agreement that benefited everyone. They should have sat down with Disneyland and come up with a resort plan that made the monorail more than an attraction, and would run to ARTIC +. His threats to leave the city should be met with a firm goodbye, as I am no longer sure this team has my loyalty. Maybe rather than trying to steal the stadium for the people, Mr Moreno should focus on the team. During his tenure his pitching staff, and minor league system have become among the worst in baseball. Does he really want to leave a city with a Convention Center that has few if any rivals? Does he want to leave a resort area that includes Disneyland, Honda Center, and extends to Knott's Berry Farm? This deal does not appear to be in Anaheim or the citizen's long term best interest. How are the workers at the Stadium paid and who is looking out for them? I have seen many "attractions" come and go in So Cal as my father, being in gunite construction, had a hand in building many if not most. Then, even Disneyland treated the workers and people much better. If the Angels want to leave or steal the stadium then those of us who have followed them longer than Mr. Moreno has been owner should turn in our jerseys, t-shirts, and hats from many years and many designs. This is a bad deal for everyone, and if this team doesn't get some attention it will get worse. How long will players like Mike Trout and up and coming players like David Fletcher stay with the focus on a billinoares development shcemes instead of the team? Sincerely, Rev.

I worked as a Real Estate agent in Anaheim for over 25 years. I would like to go on record as saying that the deal for the proposed sale of the stadium is a very bad deal price wise. Even at the price of $300 + million that is probably far below the value of the stadium property. That price could possibly be $100's and $100's of million dollars below it's true market value. This property is one of the greatest assets that the people of Anaheim have and this sale is not fair to them, your constituents. Isn't the obtaining of the best price for this property your responsibility to the people of Anaheim. Please reconsider this deal for the sale of the stadium property.

I was unable to watch the council meeting live due to prior commitments, I was informed by people who did watch the meeting that this happened. I was able to watch the council video Wednesday evening, and in all due respect to councilmember Barnes, I am very disappointed in the way my letter was presented. I have been questioned by members of the community regarding my stance on the Angels project because of this. All of the other letters that were read to the public, whether they were long, short or paraphrased, did not have their name specifically mentioned. I feel if you are going to read a letter from a concerned Citizen you should read the entire letter to the public... not pick out one sentence that was clearly taken out of context. In my letter I started and ended by fully endorsing this project. I named all the reasons I thought this would be so beneficial for our community and an asset to a tourist destination. Out of this whole letter this was all that was read: > I strongly suggest adding the first right to purchase the property > back for the sale price to the contract under consideration If you read before this one sentence in my letter, there is a longer paragraph in FULL support of this project and I am very happy that it passed! In the paragraph with this one sentence, I was merely stating what I have heard on blogs, from other citizens, and in an email I received bringing up the possibility of turning around and selling the land for a profit. What was not mentioned was I personally do not believe that Mr. Moreno would do this and that he is very invested in this project. I thought bringing this up to other citizens might help squash any misconceptions and help people hearing all of these same things get on board with this beneficial project. It was merely a suggestion and after listening to the city attorney, I also understand why a businessman would not want this in his contract. I now realize that I should not have left the opportunity for this to be taken out of context with my words. It was meant to be a suggestion for the community... Nothing to do with how I feel about this project personally. The same thing about changing the name, which I also brought up. This was clearly defined by councilmember Kring with the red lining of that portion of the contract years ago. Something I have never heard about previously, nor do I believe that the general public knows about, If I had known that, I would have never even brought that up. Once again, it was a suggestion to get more people on board. This is not a concern for me, as I fully support this project 100%. I hope you will all take the time to read my ENTIRE letter. I now know I should not have used the words "strongly suggest" because that made it sound very definitive, when I was just giving suggestions to get all of these arguments over and the project moving forward. I have definitely learned my lesson and I will be more mindful of my words in the future. I have also learned that if I have something specific to say, I will contact a councilmember in person. I am very disappointed with the process of writing letters to the Council, how it was used, and how it turned into something like this. My only saving grace at this point is that the meeting took so long. A lot of people had gone to bed however several more watched it on Wednesday. The snippet of my entire letter and my name are now a matter of public record that people can look back on at any time by watching the video. I now know how politicians feel when one little sentence can be misconstrued into something that affects your life... Not a lesson I wanted to learn! I am clearly disappointed. Congratulations on passing this amazing project for our city... I am a proud citizen, and by no means did I mean to stir up any controversy!

In addition, it is fun for our communities's Angels fans, who love sports and the sense of pride that comes form supporting your "hometown team"! > I have been following the pros and cons of this sale, and everything I have read allows be to believe this is very beneficial for Anaheim. > I did however read that the Mr. Moreno could turn around and sell this property after the deal for a profit. I do not believe this would happen, as I feel he is invested in this project. If there is any truth to this statement, I strongly suggest adding the first right to purchase the property back for the sale price to the contract under consideration. This may be in the contract already. By bringing this up and getting it out to the public, I feel our community would be more comfortable with the sale of the land. > Another thing that would get more Anaheim residence on board with this > whole project is renaming the team, or rather eliminating the words > "Los Angeles" from the title.

This deal is not only a good one for the Angels, but it's an even bigger win for Anaheim. The city will no longer be on the hook to pay for stadium renovations or for the construction of a brand new stadium. This development with amplify what Anaheim has to offer its residents, baseball fans, and tourists, and fulfill the vision for the Platinum Triangle. This will be the new place to shop, eat, drink, and of course watch the Angels play, along with many other entertainment and sporting activities. The benefits for our community include over 12 acres of parks and open space, along with 5,175 new housing units which will be built, including integrated affordable housing which Anaheim desperately needs. The development also means revenue generated for the city in the form of property taxes, sales taxes, hotel bed taxes, all of which will add up to $7 billion in total regional economic output every year, and $1.2 billion into Anaheim's general fund. Add to that over 30,000 jobs during construction, many of which will be good paying, highly skilled building trades jobs, as well as 45,000 other permanent jobs post -construction, and the economic development case for this proposed plan is undeniable. And of course, this plan means the Angels will be staying in Anaheim until 2050, at least. I urge you to support this deal to support our community and it's residents.

Sept. 29, 2020, Item 7 - sale of stadium property September 27, 2020 To Anaheim Mayor and City Councilmembers: Because it is an outrageously one-sided deal, I am opposed to the pending agreement to sell the stadium property to a company apparently controlled by Angels owner Arte Moreno. It is my firm belief - shared by many expert professionals in real estate and city finance - that this deal gives away hundreds of millions of dollars of Anaheim taxpayer money. For residents outside of Anaheim, this deal looks like a sad joke of self-inflicted bumbling and false choices. It does them no financial harm. But for Anaheim residents - who own the valuable stadium property - this is a massive, historic giveaway costing at least $1,000 for every man, woman and child in the city. Here are just some of the problems with this deal: 1. Property Undervalued. In recent years, provisions of the Angels lease were manipulated so as to undervalue the property. Meanwhile, the city -sponsored appraisal of value was manipulated to lower the cost to the buyer. 2. Shrinking Sales Price. Why are Anaheim taxpayers reimbursing $169 million to the buyer/developer ("credits") for features such as a park and affordable housing, when these items are ALWAYS the responsibility of any developer (especially one who's receiving approval for 5,175 housing units!) 3. Mysterious Removal of City Manager. Under mysterious circumstances midway through the negotiations, the city manager was forced out of his job and paid a $475,000 buyout. 4. "Saving Baseball". Underpinning the negotiations has been a laughingly false narrative about "saving" major league baseball in Anaheim. Sensible folks know this is just leveraging and posturing. It's not too late to reconsider the price and terms, and avoid the embarrassment and lawsuits that are sure to follow this one-sided deal. Anaheim residents deserve a better deal, and a fair deal.

Jason Young 40 year resident Public Comment From: Juan Alvarez Sent: Monday, September 28, 2020 10:00 AM To: Public Comment Subject: The Stadium Sale is NO Deal for Residents Mayor Sidhu and Anaheim City Council, I am appalled at the idea that you are even considering selling the stadium and the surrounding property so much below market value. That you would even try and fool the community into thinking that it would benefit us to have a park and low income housing included in the deal is shameful. You fail to be transparent and outline the real timelines in which the affordable housing would have to be built and you fail to mention that a park would actually benefit the developers looking to profit on the sale of properties in the area. The park is not for all residents. That aside, the fact that all of this is happening behind closed doors and that we as residents cannot participate in the process at council meetings is undemocratic. We should not be thinking about selling off our city's most valuable asset without the input of the residents. I urge you all to vote no on the proposed sale of the property until there is a process for including public input. A yes vote by Mr. Faessel and Mr. Brandman will be detrimental to their futures in Anaheim as elected representatives. The public is already organizing campaigns against Stephan Faessel and a move towards a recall of Jordan Brandman. We are watching and we are engaged. Again, please vote no on the proposed sale.

The project will also provide for increased Housing, including 15% of affordable units. Furthermore, it also will provide the City with badly needed Park and Open Space for the local residents. The Stadium Development will also provide commercial space for retailers, restaurants, and hotels, which shall provide revenue that will feed into the region's economy including revenue for the City's General, Fund. Agaiin, we urge the City Council to approve this H,istoric Project. Thank you for your hard work and service. Respectfully, Business Agent Local Union Local433 Jennifer L.

Is it true that when the Project Labor Agreement is settled and factored in, the price Arte pays for the property could go down even farther, to zero, or even to where WE owe HIM money? 2. How is the Brown Act lawsuit against this deal progressing? 3. What do Disney, Arte, and the Chamber of Commerce have against the proposed Anaheim Performing Arts Center, which Mayor Sidhu and the Council majority PROMISED would be taken into consideration in this deal? 4. It is true, isn't it, that Arte Moreno and his family will be perfectly able to turn around next year and flip this property for four times the price. This is good for Anaheim how? 5. Would we really, REALLY, have gotten an EVEN WORSE deal, if you guys hadn't negotiated it in secret, refused to publicize the appraisal, and given almost no time for public input? 6. If we're paying $170 million for low-income housing, does that mean Anaheim will own those units? No? Why not?

September 28, 2020 OIR II "'IIII I1111::1l'1111 M Dear Mayor Harry Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council, C """'" "'R'""IA This Tuesday, September 29, you will have on your agenda the historic Stadium Development Plan that has been negotiated between the City of Anaheim and SRB Management. We fully support the City selling the Stadium property in order to unlock the Platinum Triangle's full potential, while keeping the Angels in Anaheim through 2050 and beyond. I hope you will also support this, and vote in favor. As you are aware, the proposed plan includes over 5,000 new, and desperately needed, housing units. Up to 777 fully integrated affordable units will give families the chance to live in, work near, and be a part of, this community. Plus, a seven -acre public "flagship park" and over five acres of new park lands will be paid for, and maintained by, the property developer. There will be tens of thousands of good paying construction jobs, many of which will prioritize hiring Anaheim residents. Because of this agreement, there is great potential to generate a lot of money to go towards education, street maintenance, police and fire services, and more. Also, Anaheim taxpayers will receive the many positives of having this new development, and not have any of the financial burden of renovating an old Stadium, or building a new one. And of course — the plan means the Angels stay in town until 2050 at least, working with a number of organizations like ours. Each year we host our Autism Speaks Walk, on the first Sunday in December, at Angels Stadium. With over 3,500 participants each year, there are few venues that can accommodate our crowd size and provide a contained, safe environment for our constituents. The Angels personnel have worked with us to develop a sensory and family friendly experience at this iconic location that our families look forward to year after year. As our leaders, I hope you will look closely at what this proposed agreement and plan has to offer. Your support will take Anaheim and its residents to the next level, and it will ensure that an incredible community partner, Angels Baseball, stays in Anaheim and can continue doing good work for members of the community alongside us for decades to come.

The latest proposal to sell the stadium property to Angels owner, Arte Moreno, went from Bad to Worse. 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 an outrageous give away of Anaheim taxpayer property, at a time when Covid-19 has caused an upside down budget for Anaheim. Plus, Moreno has the ability to sell the entire entitled property for a huge profit. The City should at least include a clause in the transaction that should Moreno decide to sell, the City has the first right to buy back The property at Moreno's cost, rather than allow him to profit at the City's miscalculations. 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! THE TRANSACTION SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE A CLAUSE THAT ALLOWS THE CITY THE FIRST RIGHT TO PURCHASE AT THE BUYER'S COST SHOULD THEY DECIDE TO SELL. WHY SHOULD SRB PROFIT AT THE EXPENSE OF ANAHEIM TAXPAYERS? As our leaders, I hope you will look closely at what this proposed agreement and plan DOES NOT OFFER.... NAMELY, THE MARKET VALUE FOR THE PROPERTY ($150Mil for 153 acres, how much do the taxpayers get for the Stadium and the Grove? $0... that's how much!).

Public Comment From: Ahmad Sent: Friday, September 25, 2020 5:35 PM To: Public Comment Subject: Angel stadium sale Good evening, I am a long time Anaheim resident and a business owner, I have supported mayor Siduh and the city council majority in every decision taken especially in the Resort district, I have proudly voted for mayor Siduh and my council district Kring. I appreciate all the hard work and decision made to improve Anaheim as a whole and the resort district. With all of my support to most Anaheim issues, the Angel stadium sale has honestly been a disappointment, please consider renegotiating the sale (even though if I was in charge, I would consider leasing not selling) I thought the original price tag of 325mil was undervalued, only to learn the actual cash is 150mil. When the city needed 2 acres of the land, the price was changed to 320. Why did we give back 2.5mil an acre when we are getting paid just about a million an acre? As a business man, I'd rather get the full price tag and we as a city can decide where and how big to build public parks and or affordable housing instead of having Arte Moreno deciding that for us (I personally do not support building affordable houses as it does depreciate the City's value) On another note, when I voted for our mayor and council, I had complete faith and trust to have the team's name to be Anaheim as a top priority. I am aware that we lost a law suit against the team, but at the time there was a loophole where they were able to call it LA, since we are working on a new agreement, I think the ball is in our hand to make it a must to be called Anaheim Angels or the bare minimum, the California Angels. Please consider renegotiating the deal and make us all proud. Because your opponents (who I do not support at all and I would hate to see them win the next election) are using this deal against you and general public care about sport news more than anything else.

We are now raising our three daughters here —all five of us live, work and pay our taxes in Anaheim. We work in food service, at Home Depot, in non-profit education, and local real estate. We are a hardworking, Anaheim -loving family. Yet our side of town struggles to have the basic things provided to us; graffiti -free walls, clean public spaces, a descent public bench to sit on, green grass in our parks ... and the City wants to give away a billion precious, needed, hard-earned dollars in the sale of Angel Stadium and surrounding area to an already wealthy private individual? My heart sinks at the unfairness of this. We have worked SO very diligently to achieve one small step in our struggling neighborhood to improve it —a humble dog park added to Maxwell Park. This has taken years of petition, outright begging to achieve. When I heard about the Angel Stadium sale, the multiple millions of tax payer money that will be lost to Anaheim because of it, I felt utterly powerless at the injustice of it all. There's no logic in it. What could possibly motivate our City Council to do such a thing when our City's residents have such real and present needs? The unfairness of this sale to the individual tax paying residents of Anaheim is, I dare say, immoral. Where is the justice to us who have been so faithful and well meaning with every tax paying dollar we give to our beloved City? We are left behind in this deal. Our children are left behind. The beauty of this Great City is left behind. Please think of us, each of us, when you vote of the sale of Angel Stadium. We are real people who love our City.

If the deal is to be set at 150$ Million to the owner, devaluing the property without factoring in the cost of the stadium itself, the Grove, nor the parking lot, is an egregious misuse of Taxpayer money, a disservice to those who paid to build that stadium, and the fans who go to watch the myriad of events hosted on that piece of property. I have lived in this city my entire life, and if this were to transpire I will have lost all hope in the Legal system of America, the last bastion of hope in this bleak political climate is local government, those who fight not for political clout, but for the benefit of their constituents, their neighbors, and themselves.

If the sale were to go forward at the current price, an amendment for a sharing of profit or right to buy back upon sale at an agreed upon rate would be a reasonable amendment.

The positive revenue impact it has on our local hotels and restaurants is significant. The visiting teams, umpires, broadcast channels and fans all come into our community to utilize our services, which generates revenue and TOT taxes for our city. Not to mention the jobs it creates. Not only do we gain revenue during the regular season, the community can also be positively impacted if the Angels were to make the playoffs and continue to the World Series.

Hall From: Marc Timanus Sent: Monday, September 28, 2020 10:16 AM To: Loretta Day Subject: Sale of Angel Stadium I have lived in Anaheim my entire 39 years. I have grown up watching the Angels play, celebrated the 2002 world series victory, watched the Rams play at Angel Stadium, and cried when they left for another city. I have been to multiple events at the Grove and I love my city. I understand that the city of Anaheim is now going to sell the land to Arte Moreno for a fraction of the actual value of the property. Not only selling the land the stadium sits on, but including the buildings on the site. I would ask who hired the appraiser to determine the value of the land and the buildings. If the potential buyer hired the appraiser, most likely the appraisal was biased. It is impossible to believe that the land is so undervalued, and that the buildings on the land hold no value. If nothing else, the experiences and memories of the Anaheim residents ought to hold some value. Arte Moreno is potentially the worst sports team owner we have had in the history of our city. He removed the city of Anaheim's name from the Angels. He has made multiple bad investments in players, refused to improve the stadium and the land it sits on, and increased prices on food and beverage even though he claimed he wouldn't. Why should the city reward him for what he has done by giving away the stadium and the valuable land it sits on? I would ask that the city council votes no on this sale. Not that the city refuses to ever sell the land, but that the city gets a fair price per acre, and includes a value for the existing structures. Have the property appraised again by a non -biased third party. The city needs every penny it can get right now with all of the business closures. Now is not the time to lose out on millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars. Arte Moreno threatened to leave Anaheim and take the Angels to another city. I say let him go, but don't let him take our stadium, our team, our name, and make billions of dollars off of a hurried and flawed strategy.

Public Comment From: Kiabeth Verduzco Sent: Friday, September 25, 2020 5:48 PM To: Public Comment Subject: STOP the Stadium Sale Hello, I am Kiabeth Verduzco, a constituent of Anaheim, and I demand that the city council open the meetings, stop the Stadium giveaway, and lastly an independent appraisal and fair market value sale for our largest asset. It is absolutely absurd to be practically giving away land that is worth much more to a billionaire, who has already manipulated the council into allowing him to do the bare minimum for the city, change the name, pay no rent, and have a horrible record of employee satisfaction. Not only is the price a concern in a time when the city has dipped into its reserve to give visit Anaheim $6.5 million, but the deal itself is unavailing. The flexibility being given in the affordable housing development is unacceptable, in the midst of a health crisis affordable housing should be of top priority. To give 15-30 years to build affordable housing to a billionaire and not have union contracts to guarantee fair wages to the construction workers is truly inhumane. I can not even begin to list the outrage on social media among my fellow colleagues who have gotten the following hashtags trending: #StoptheStadiumGiveaway #NOSubsidiesforBillionaires Once again, I demand that this stadium deal is stopped immediately as constituents are not only dissatisfied with it, but concerned over the back room deals occurring as no council meeting has taken place.

Our Association represents hotels and vendors all throughout the Anaheim / Orange County area, we are excited about the plans in store. The City of Anaheim and the Angels have been working diligently on a deal that not only is great for the team but even better for the city. Anaheim is no longer responsible for any stadium renovations or building a new stadium, they will also get the tax benefit of the all the developments. These plans will fulfill the potential of the Platinum Triangle and the Anaheim Resort District. We are hopeful for the hotels that will be filled in the Platinum Triangle as well as those already built throughout the area. This development means more jobs, more restaurants, more entertainment. The Anaheim residents and our visitors will have an even larger variety of places to go and enjoy their city. We urge you to vote yes on the Stadium Development Plan on Tuesday, September 29" and hope you stand with us in support of this development. Anaheim will feel the benefit for decades to come.

My family and I are huge fans of the team and are so happy the city has negotiated a fair deal for taxpayers and the team. It's wonderful that the plan will include more than $320 million for General Fund and community benefits. My family and I strongly support the deal negotiated by the city, supported by the city's Planning Commission, that will keep the team in Anaheim until 2050 and longer.

As I do support the sale must also set specific requirements of the new owners that monies generated will be used for Anaheim not sent out of state. Predicate that only 20% may be use for administrative purposes It is what health care plans, providers must do. Owners must have a stake in the improvement of city and be in accordance to the laws governing the city. Must provide a plan on how the sale will help during COVID, there plan of action to meet all COVID requirements in safety and protection.

Also, Anaheim taxpayers will receive the many positives of having this new development, and not have any of the financial burden of renovating an old Stadium, or building a new one. And of course — the plan means the Angels stay in town until 2050 at least, working with a number of organizations like ours. Miracles for Kids is beyond thankful to Angels Baseball for their ongoing support, especially with the Home Runs for Kids Program. This event not only creates lifelong memories for our critically ill children but also allows their families to enjoy an extraordinary day away from doctors and hospital visits. In addition, a joint effort with local sponsors increases support for many other Miracles for Kids families with financial assistance, housing, wellness therapy and basic necessities during this time of crisis in their lives. As our leaders, I hope you will look closely at what this proposed agreement and plan has to offer. Your support will take Anaheim and its residents to the next level, and it will ensure that an incredible community partner, Angels Baseball, stays in Anaheim and can continue doing good work for members of the community alongside us for decades to come.

The proposal in front of you for the sale of the stadium and property to SRB Management will make a great step for Anaheim bringing jobs, housing, and park spaces to Anaheim when it needs them the most. Like many, we at the Literacy Project are especially excited about the prospect of Angels Baseball staying in Anaheim until at least 2050 as a result of this deal. That is not just because we are fans of the team, but we are fans of what the Angels have done here in this community and what they do to demonstrate their commitment to Anaheim. Since 2014, Angels Baseball has sponsored and hosted our "Readers in the Outfield" event, which brings together over 100 underprivileged second graders in the Anaheim school system. This very special event honors and recognizes the graduates of the Literacy's Project's reading programs. Hosted at Angel Stadium, these amazing young people spend a Saturday afternoon with Angels alumni like Rod Carew, Bobby Grich, Chuck Finley, and Cylde Wright, as well as Angels Baseball Chairman Dennis Kuhl demonstrating and showing off their reading skills, which they are understandably very proud. Plus, each youngster gets a set of four tickets to an upcoming Angels game to share with their family. But that's not all. Over the course of the past six years, the Angels have funded our literacy programs in Anaheim schools for over 9700 elementary school students struggling with reading, funded to the tune of over $250,000. Because of that generosity and commitment, we are able to assist at -risk kids in our schools with our specialized 30-hour reading program at absolutely no cost to either the child or their family, or to the school. So you see, making it possible for the Angels to stay in Anaheim doesn't just mean baseball stays in Anaheim, which is very important, yes. But more importantly to us, it means an incredible community partner in our mission to bring literacy to kids struggling with reading also stays in Anaheim. Please keep that in mind as you consider this proposal, and approve this deal so that the Angels stay in Anaheim and can keep doing the great work they do with us, and with so many others to make Anaheim a better place and improve the lives of Anaheim residents and students. Thank you. Sue Grant CEO, The Literacy Project Jennifer L.

Hall From: Ryan Hervey Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2020 11:50 AM To: Big A Subject: Please sell the stadium to the Angels If this deal falls through and Arte Moreno ends up moving the Angels elsewhere, Anaheim will ultimately lose. No other developer will want to build on that site the kind of housing the protestors are hoping for. There's no money in it. Affordable housing west of the Cleveland National Forest is a myth. Market forces dictate affordability, not government. Building low-income housing there in addition to what Arte Moreno has already agreed to will not add to the housing supply because most of the market doesn't want to live in a future crack den. Quite frankly, if this mayor and council want to be responsible for the Angels leaving, then you just submitted your resignations. Media is framing this as if Big Business is winning and the residents all want a better deal.
