CONSENT CALENDAR:
D116 1. Discussion, consideration, and action concerning the Mayor's proposed Anaheim economic
recovery plan, up to an amount of$15,000,000, to assist Anaheim residents, businesses,
employees, and others impacted by COVID-19 by, among other things, supporting small
businesses; implementing incentives, waivers, and procedures to continue and further local
development projects; working with financial institutions to implement incentive programs for
businesses; coordinating and providing funding to local non-profits and other organizations to
provide financial and other assistance to Anaheim residents; partnering with local
organizations and associations to plan for and further the reopening of tourist destinations,
entertainment venues, and other impacted businesses when safe and feasible to do so; taking
additional steps to ensure that landlords and tenants are protected from economic disruption;
providing funding to assist homeless individuals and programs during the COVID-19 crisis;
providing benefits and assistance to City of Anaheim employees whose jobs have been
adversely impacted by COVID- 19; and authorizing and directing the City Manager to
implement the recovery plan and provide other forms of relief, incentives, extensions,
forbearance, adjustments, deferrals, waivers, procedures, services, programs, and assistance
determined necessary to respond to the COVID-19 crisis.
Mayor Sidhu introduced the item as the Anaheim Community Assistance and Economic Recovery
Plan. He emphasized the item would not seek to re-open theme parks, the Anaheim Convention
Center, or sports arenas immediately, but to prepare for when the time was right. He noted this was
a public health crisis first, but that economic impacts were being seen on a local and national scale.

He explained the focus is on the personal safety of residents and the economic stabilization of
residents and businesses.
Mayor Sidhu was happy to report City employees were working hard to ensure Anaheim residents
were still served by the City and critical services such as Police and Fire were operating as normal.
He reported he has been meeting with Governor Newsom and other California representatives to
develop a relief bill including loans to small businesses and direct payments to families. He
explained, through his calculations, Anaheim may qualify for up to $15,000,000 in relief but
expressed concern there was no definitive timeline.
Mayor Sidhu reported his proposal would bring immediate relief and assistance to Anaheim residents
and businesses until federal and state relief was made available, while also looking forward to
supporting future economic needs.
Mayor Sidhu provided an in-depth overview of the $15,000,000 proposal, drawing on City reserves,
which included working with non-profits such as the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim, Meals on
Wheels, the Anaheim YMCA, the Orange County Conservation Corps, and the Salvation Army to
provide food and services to Anaheim residents. He proposed a $2,000,000 grant to the Anaheim
Community Foundation to provide direct assistance to local non-profits and residents who need
assistance immediately.
Mayor Sidhu reported City Council recently passed a temporary moratorium on the eviction of
residential and commercial tenants unable to pay rent because of COVID-19. He emphasized City
Council has the ability, through this proposal, to provide additional funds to the Housing Assistance
Program to help residents stay in their homes. He also explained the item would help protect the jobs
of the City's workforce and also help protect Anaheim's homeless who are at great risk for COVID-19.
He noted the plan includes authority for the City Manager to draw up to $6,000,000 of reserves for
additional housing assistance. He stated over half of the proposed package is for immediate
assistance to residents.
Mayor Sidhu reported tourism from the Anaheim Resort is responsible for over 70,000 jobs and 50%
of the City's General Fund revenue through hotel and sales taxes. He advised he has worked with
stakeholders to develop a plan to jump-start the economy once the crisis is over, to bring back jobs
and tax revenue as quickly as possible. He noted tourism revenue helps fund critical City services
and programs and is needed to help Anaheim recover; part of the package is to authorize the City
Manager to draw $6,500,000 from Convention Center Reserves and distribute those funds to Visit
Anaheim, Anaheim's destination marketing organization, with three equal payments in April, May, and
June, with the goal of marketing hotel stays, meetings, and conventions in Anaheim once stay at
home orders are lifted.
Mayor Sidhu reported the plan gives broad direction to the City Manager and City staff to defer fees,
cut fees, cut red tape, establish electronic plan checks, extend entitlement reviews, and approve
plans faster and provide regulatory relief so all businesses in the city are incentivized to reopen,
reinvest, rehire, and get construction jobs going again. He advised the plan also authorizes the City
Manager, in partnership with the business community, to spend $500,000 to buy shop, dine, hire, and
purchase locally.
Mayor Sidhu reiterated the first order of business is to stay safe, stay at home, stop the spread, and
flatten the curve. He noted now was the time for bold action to give Anaheim the strongest recovery
possible by getting people to work to generate tax revenues.

MOTION: Mayor Sidhu moved to approve the Anaheim Economic Recovery Plan as follows,
seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Faessel.
• Authorize the City Manager to draw up to $8,000,000 in reserves for community and resident
support, as follows:
o $2,000,000 in a grant to the Anaheim Community Foundation, to support Anaheim non-
profits like the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim, Meals on Wheels, the Anaheim YMCA,
the Orange County Conservation Corps, the Salvation Army, and others that are providing
services to Anaheim residents in need due to the COVID-19 crisis, and
o Up to $6,000,000 to be made available to the City Manager to support programs for our
homeless population, housing assistance programs, and City workforce continuity.
• Authorize the City Manager to draw $6,500,000 from Convention Center Reserves and direct the
City Manager to grant those funds to Visit Anaheim, Anaheim's destination marketing
organization, with three equal payments in April, May, and June, and with the goal of marketing
hotel stays, meetings, and conventions in Anaheim once stay at home orders are lifted.
• Direct the City Manager, for the balance of 2020, to defer penalties, fines, and any enforcement
actions against businesses that collect and pay TOT to the City, as long as they pay their TOT
within 90 days of when it is due.
• Authorize the City Manager to implement a variety of programs, policies, and practices designed
to incentivize development and business activity in the City, including such things as:
o Extending time frames as necessary to facilitate development;
o Deferring, reducing, or waiving fees;
o Implementing electronic plan check at the earliest possible time;
o Expediting the plan check and review process to the maximum extent possible;
o In general, considering regulatory relief measures from processes and standards
contained in the Anaheim Municipal Code, including Title 18 (Zoning Code), as deemed
necessary to facilitate ongoing business activities and development activities.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu thanked Council Member O'Neil for his suggestion to draw $6,500,000
from Convention Center Reserves.
Mayor Pro Tern Faessel noted $8,000,000 of the plan was earmarked for community needs with
$2,000,000 going to the Anaheim Community Foundation for nonprofits' immediate needs. He
calculated the remainder to be $6,000,000 which could go to homeless programs, housing
assistance, and assistance for City employees, with possible amounts listed for each area.
Mayor Pro Tern Faessel noted approximately 50% of the General Fund comes from Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT) and is almost $200,000,000 per year. He stated Visit Anaheim is a hotel and
resort funded organization that markets Anaheim domestically and internationally. He also noted
their funding comes from the 2%Anaheim Tourism improvement District (ATID) fee imposed on hotel
rooms. Additionally, he reported Visit Anaheim spends approximately $20,000,000 per year
marketing Anaheim. He noted that by doing nothing, there would be a longer gap until visitors stayed
at Anaheim hotels and, therefore, a longer gap in revenue for City service and a longer gap before
employees can return to work.
Mayor Pro Tern Faessel expressed his support for jump-starting the economy by providing Visit
Anaheim the funding to begin developing a marketing program in order to generate tax revenue for
City services. He explained Anaheim's economy is dependent on tourism, and in order to jump-start
City Council Minutes of March 26,2020
Page 4 of 9
the Anaheim Resort, a marketing plan is required to get resort employees back to work as soon as
possible. He noted Disney stated the closure of Disneyland is costing Orange County over
$400,000,000. He also explained federal and state funding can backfill the reserves used for this
purpose. He expressed his support for using the Convention Center Reserves to support Visit
Anaheim.
Council Member Kring expressed her support for the item and explained tourism is the center of the
City's economic engine. She reported the Natural Products Association convention was canceled
and represented 95,000 people who would be staying in Anaheim and Orange County hotels. She
addressed the effects of closures on local hotels, including job losses. She expressed her support for
funding Visit Anaheim to jump-start the economy and her support for the item. She also encouraged
residents to support local businesses and restaurants by ordering take-out.
Council Member Brandman reported local business owners are scared but know Anaheim will work
hard to make sure the community recovers from COVID-19 as quickly as possible. He expressed his
support for the item and believed it was a good proposal that will support recovery for Anaheim.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Deputy City Manager Greg Garcia reported
regulatory relief simply makes it easier for businesses to conduct business, get in and out quickly,
receive a consistent message, and to waive fees to encourage building and continue moving forward.
He noted the Planning Department, along with the Economic Development Department, has been
developing a list of ideas that could jumpstart business development in the City. Council Member
Moreno expressed concern there were regulations that impede businesses.
Mr. Garcia advised the intent of the item was to look at policies that require a permit and other
inspection fees and consider a moratorium on those feels for the short-term. He advised staff
regularly looks to streamline processes to make working with Anaheim a great experience.
Mayor Sidhu stated the item authorizes the City Manager to implement a variety of programs and
policies practices designed to incentivize business development including reducing and waiving fees
to make it easier for people to pull permits and do business in Anaheim. Council Member Moreno
expressed his support for relieving businesses from fees that can be deferred but not forgiven. He
noted many of the regulations are in the interest of public health and safety.
In response Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mayor Sidhu advised staff will develop a plan for the
$6,000,000 earmarked for homelessness, housing assistance, and City workforce assistance but
there was not a specific number of how many people the funding would help.
Council Member Moreno expressed concern that Mayor Sidhu was unable to advise on what
stakeholders need to continue operating. Mayor Sidhu responded he was giving staff the authority to
drive the assistance where it was needed most. Council Member Moreno expressed concern there
were no metrics or numbers supporting the amounts provided in the plan.
Council Member Moreno expressed concern the City was being asked to allocate, through an
emergency meeting, $6,500,000 to market hotels and Disneyland and felt it was out of proportion to
what the City should be focusing on now.
In response to an inquiry by Council Member Moreno, Fire Chief Pat Russell reported there was
enough Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the current call volume and the Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) was working to obtain additional supplies through donations and
City Council Minutes of March 26, 2020
Page 5 of 9
purchases. He also stated the City was donating PPE to skilled nursing facilities and others in need.
Chief Russell reported the additional supplies were funded through the State of Emergency as
declared by the City Council. He also noted there was enough PPE for the next several months.
Additionally, he noted since the emergency was declared by the federal government, costs
associated with responding to the emergency are reimbursable. Council Member Moreno expressed
his support for providing rental assistance with the funding and encouraged City Council to reprioritize
the funding away from marketing activities.
Council Member Barnes expressed concern the review period for the item was too short to render a
decision. She cited an email sent in by a member of the public stating it was not the City's job to
indemnify its residents and businesses against tough economic times. She expressed her opposition
to the item and noted many residents expressed funding a marketing program through Visit Anaheim
should not be part of the Economic Recovery Package.
Council Member Barnes expressed concern the City only has two months of emergency reserves at
this time and felt the item would impact the City's ability to operate steadily with healthy reserves.
She also advised she could not, in good conscience, give City reserve funding to private entities who
should have their own private reserves. She referred to emails submitted by residents and suggested
slowing down to ensure the program was done correctly.
Council Member O'Neil noted using Convention Center Reserve funds helps protect the General
Fund. He acknowledged many Anaheim residents are in need but there are federal packages in
development that will provide them economic relief. He noted it was important for City Council to
focus on the services the City is responsible for providing to its residents. He advised the item will
help produce revenue and preserve jobs as well. He explained it is important to Anaheim and
Orange County that tourism continues and hotel rooms are filled. He expressed his support for a
marketing program which will help Anaheim get ahead of the competition and speed recovery.
City Clerk Theresa Bass noted for the record, in accordance with Government Code 1091.5, Mayor
Pro Tem Faessel serves on the Anaheim Community Foundation board and can participate in the
discussion and vote of this item. She also noted the Director of Community Services serves on the
same board.
In response to Mayor Sidhu's inquiry, City Attorney Robert Fabela reported pursuant to Government
Code 1091.5, as an unpaid board member of a nonprofit, the public official may participate but the
City official's role must be made part of the public record which was just completed by the City Clerk.
Mayor Pro Tern Faessel acknowledged the City was in an extraordinary emergency condition and
action needed to be taken to get services to residents quickly. He agreed there may be opportunities
to fine-tune the item in the future, but the City must take decisive action tonight.
Council Member Kring reported a stimulus package was being developed to provide $1,200 to each
citizen who makes under $72,000 along with $500 for each qualifying child. She also noted
unemployment was also available and may take three to four weeks to come to fruition, but was an
increased amount over standard practice. She expressed her support for the item, particularly for its
focus on small businesses. She also reported businesses only have so much in reserve and advised
Visit Anaheim has furloughed many employees and was running on a shoestring budget. She
emphasized the need for TOT revenue to support services and programs throughout the City.

Council Member Brandman reported the special meeting was called by Mayor Sidhu and some
members of the City Council may want to proceed down different plans. He also noted the item was
for the benefit of Anaheim businesses and residents, the City was doing the best it could, and noted
his constituents were looking to him for assistance so he would support the item.
In response to Council Member Moreno, City Manager Chris Zapata expressed his support for the
plan's three-pronged approach and he supported aiding Anaheim's residents, businesses, and the
City's workforce. He did not recommend the City commit the full amount of $6,500,000 to Visit
Anaheim but should commit a lesser amount at the onset. He believed the City should continue
working with its partners and then provide a recommendation for additional funding to the City
Council. He advised if the City Council makes a policy decision tonight to provide funding, he would
request the latitude to negotiate with Visit Anaheim to ensure that other sources of funds were
scoured, require a business plan be submitted before any payment, and measure the return on
investment to be provided to the City Council and the Anaheim community.
Council Member Moreno expressed his support for providing immediate assistance to residents and
small businesses by supporting nonprofits and providing money for housing. In response to Council
Member Moreno's inquiry regarding various uses of reserves, Mr. Fabela opined that methods of
funding the Anaheim Police Association contract were allowed to be discussed under the
circumstances. Mr. Zapata advised, that through the budget, new labor contracts would put the City
in a zero mode in about three years. However, he would not use that as an argument to not spend
the money tonight, as this was a current need.
Council Member Moreno wanted the City Council to be fiscally responsible in the way it approached
the item but noted the City already has to use reserves to meet some of its obligations. He was
supportive of spending reserves for this emergency but noted the City was already looking at a
structural deficit. He did not support the $6,500,000 to market tourism and encouraged City Council
to scale back.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Zapata advised he could not speak specifically
to the amount of funding Anaheim would be provided from federal and state emergency funds. He
clarified half of the funding from the item would come from the General Fund Reserve and the other
have would come from the Convention Center Reserves. In response to Council Member Moreno's
inquiry, Chief Russell reported there were 16 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Anaheim, but no reported
deaths.
Council Member Moreno addressed the timing and uses for federal and state funding and suggested
City Council hold off making a decision for one week since the funding would not be distributed to
Visit Anaheim until June. Mr. Garcia clarified the funds would be distributed in three equal payments
beginning in April, May, and June. Council Member Moreno suggested an additional emergency
meeting be held next week to allow time for City Council to meet with staff to better understand the
federal and state stimulus package to determine how the City can fill in the gaps for the resort
industry. Mayor Sidhu denied the request to separate the item into two actions and to extend the
decision by one week.
Council Member Moreno expressed concern that some members of the City Council were only given
12 hours to review the plan as well as the timeframes for discussion.
Council Member Moreno explained the statement that 50% of the General Fund is funded by the
resort industry was incorrect or misleading, as half of that funding goes to paying bonds, so it was
City Council Minutes of March 26, 2020
Page 7 of 9
actually about 25% of the City's General Fund expenditures. He recommending acting on the
$8,000,000 for community and resident support and holding off on the $6,500,000 for Visit Anaheim.
In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Zapata advised he would be speaking with
Orange County Executive Officer Frank Kim and would inquire about shelter residents being moved
to hotels. Council Member Barnes agreed with bifurcating the items, as the $6,500,000 was not an
emergency situation.
Council Member O'Neil clarified Visit Anaheim would receive no funding from any federal or state
funding Anaheim receives. He noted Visit Anaheim is funded by a Tourism Improvement District
whose revenues are directly connected to hotel stays. He expressed his support for funding Visit
Anaheim to help support the economic health of the City in order to meet the City's obligation for
providing critical services. Lastly, he noted the Convention Center Reserve Fund is restricted and
cannot be used for other unrelated uses in the community.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to call the previous question, seconded by
Council Member Kring.
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Garcia clarified the Convention
Center Reserve Funds are part of the enterprise but not necessarily reserved. Mr. Fabela intervened
and clarified the move of the previous question is a non-debatable motion but requires a 2/3 vote.
Council Member Moreno stated Council Member O'Neil was incorrect that the Convention Center
Reserve Funds could only be used for that purpose and he encouraged City Council to reject the
item.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to call the previous question, seconded by
Council Member Kring. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —5 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel,
Brandman, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES — 1 (Council Member Moreno); ABSTAIN — 1 (Council Member
Barnes). Motion carried.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno requested the City Clerk verify the motion. Ms. Bass read
the motion on the table, as moved by Mayor Sidhu and seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Faessel, for
clarification. Council Member Moreno requested to explain his vote. Mayor Sidhu denied the request.
Mr. Fabela clarified Council Member Moreno was allowed to explain his vote under the rules.
Council Member Moreno clarified that the Convention Center Reserve Funds were not restricted and
could be used throughout the City to help during the COVID-19 crisis. He felt misinformation had
been propagated by the Economic Recovery Task Force. Council Member Moreno expressed he
would like to see the funding go towards rental, housing, and food assistance directly and through
non-profits. He expressed concern the Economic Recovery Plan gives 43% of the funding to
marketing. He stated he could not support the item at this time.
MOTION: Mayor Sidhu moved to approve the Anaheim Economic Recovery Plan as follows,
seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Faessel:
• Authorize the City Manager to draw up to $8,000,000 in reserves for community and resident
support, as follows:
o $2,000,000 in a grant to the Anaheim Community Foundation, to support Anaheim non-
profits like the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim, Meals on Wheels, the Anaheim YMCA,

the Orange County Conservation Corps, the Salvation Army, and others that are providing
services to Anaheim residents in need due to the COVID-19 crisis, and
o Up to $6,000,000 to be made available to the City Manager to support programs for our
homeless population, housing assistance programs, and City workforce continuity.
• Authorize the City Manager to draw$6,500,000 from Convention Center Reserves and direct the

O'Neil); NOES— 1 (Council Member Moreno); ABSTAIN — 1 (Council Member Barnes). Motion
carried.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS/AGENDA REQUESTS:
Mayor Pro Tem Faessel thanked the Anaheim Public Library for their creativity in hosting story times
via Facebook Live. He thanked all essential employees helping the City, specifically EOC
representative Sjany Larson-Cash. He offered thoughts that tonight's vote would assist the
community's residents, local businesses, and jobs.
Council Member Kring stated the Visit Anaheim charter prohibited them from making campaign
contributions. She reported several local manufacturers were re-tooling to manufacturing ventilators.
She acknowledged that federal stimulus checks would come to Anaheim residents but it was not
clear what other federal money may come to the City. She congratulated the Anaheim Pubic Library
for making movies and music available online, classes online, and for having curbside pickup for
books and DVDs. She addressed a neighborhood placing bears in windows to make a fun game for
kids to find the bears. She thanked City staff for all they were doing, encouraged all to be safe, hoped
all the sick were well taken care of and heal quickly and reported an early sign of coronavirus is the
loss of taste and smell.
Council Member Brandman appreciated the updates from his colleagues, congratulated the library on
their great work, and reported he was in constant communications with his constituents.
Council Member Moreno offered his thoughts that the actions taken tonight violated the principles of
transparency and inclusion in the democratic process through open, public deliberation. He
expressed his disappointment with the actions of his colleagues as well as with certain organizations
that expressed their support for the Economic Recovery Plan. He asked people to pay attention,
continue to ask questions and send ideas for solutions.
City Council Minutes of March 26, 2020
Page 9 of 9
Council Member Barnes addressed divisiveness and representing the entire City and its residents.
She stated she would reach out to Visit Anaheim about their plans and wished more information had
been provided at this meeting. She encouraged residents to call her office if they needed food and
asked for prayers for all.
Council Member O'Neil apologized for any misinformation about Convention Center reserves being
restricted but noted the funds were in an account specified for the Convention Center and related
uses, not the General Fund. He felt the investment would help jump-start the economy and lead to
the recovery of tourism to help provide Fire, Police, and other municipal services.
Mayor Sidhu thanked City Council and staff for their efforts in this time of crisis. He felt the Economic
Recovery Plan would meet the needs of the community on a local level, a move in the right direction,
and hoped his colleagues could work together to solve issues.

At 9:21 P.M., Mayor Sidhu adjourned the March 26, 2020 City Council special meeting.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Anaheim-Cypiress
March 26, 2020
Dear I-lonorable Mayor Harry Sidbru of Anaheim,
I doubt that this will come as a surprise to you but the outbreak of COVID-1 91 has hit our organization hard. As it
would be unsafe for the children to come to our Clubs, we have had to shut our doors for the foreseeable future. As
an organization that has long prided itself on the ability to say we never turn a child away, we are distressed to say
that we have now had to turn away children, families, and even our own employees.
As you may know, Anaheim has the greatest concentration of at -risk children and families in all of Orange County.
80%, of our young, members fall well below the poverty line and all of them rely on us for daily lunch and dinner.
Additionally, our dedicated staff are looking at an extended period of time where we will not have work for them to
perform in order to receive a living income.
We know that our needs are not unique, but we do know that, as a direct result of our doors closing, over 3'75
children who would have come to our various Clubs on any given day are now left with nowhere to go and nothing
to eat.
Our mission is to "inspire and empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach, their full
potential as caring, responsible, productive citizens." Without additional government support, it is unlikely that we
will be able to see that mission through. While we are still supplying emergency food distributions to feed our
community, this is merely a band aid over a serious situation. We are asking that you help us to support our
children, families, and employees so that no one falls through the cracks. Any funding you can provide to help
us manage these difficult times would be greatly appreciated.
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Anaheim has been a significant part of our community for over 30 years. We hope to
return to normal and resume serving youth with the quality programming that has become expected from our
Clubs. We can do this with your help'.

Anaheim City Council Comments, March 2h, 2020, Agenda Item # 1
VIA EMAIL TO!:
FROM: Home Owners Maintaining our Environment
A "secret" special council meeting is, scheduled today with questionable
same-day advance public notice. The one agenda item is to give millions in
public funds to the friends of council members and indirectly to themselves.,
The Anaheim City Council members being led by their Mayor Harish S.
Sidue has lowered themselves again by exploiting the National Emergency.
They are preventing public participation from rejecting verbal comments at
their council meetings.
The ruling of "to make public meetings accessible telephonically or
otherwise" requires, comments to be made "telephonic," which is by voice.
Mayor Harish S. idue and his cabal on the city council have
maliciously interpreted the rule to mean only in writing, not telephonic.
Several methods could be used to allow "The Rights to Freedom of
Speech" voice comments for the residents, of Anaheim. One method would be
a simple telephone -answering unit limiting incoming public comments to three
minutes,, then playing the recordings at the council meeting during the public
comment periods,.
As a bare minimum, the city council should have a clerk read the
submitted written public comments, during the public comments periods at
the council meetings.
It is, known from the idiotic questions made by council members to their
staff at council meetings, that they have rarely bothered to read written
critical staff reports, given to them prior to the council meetings.
Therefore, since they rarely read critical written staff reports, they will
almost never read any written public comments submitted to them.

Tonight's Agenda
Dear City Counsel Members,
There is an, item on the agenda proposing to spend $15,0010,0100i of City Reserves to address the imipaict of
COVID- 19.
While this is greait, one big problern I see is that it piroposes the City spend $6,500,000 on Marketing.
That is colmpiletei;ly too high and way out of Iline. I hope you ww agiree,, That money may be better
utilized on, resources such as medicall eqpP,PE"s and miaisks, to address future viruses'. Especia[ly
considering thiis virus could beconne a seasonall virus or could mutate into ainother similarly dead�l�y viruis.

Thank you for taking my question. I manage a small business in the Yorba. Linda / Anaheim area,, When I called
Republic Trash to see if we could suspend trash pick up and save money at this difficult time on billing. I was
told no I cannot cancel the service or suspended service. that they will continue to do trash pick-ups and
invoice me even though there's no trash to be picked up. I find this outrageous during this difficult time that
they're going to continue to invoice small businesses for trash when there's no, trash to be picked up. Is anybody
talking with Republic trash about suspending service for businesses that do not have any trash and are closed
due to mandates? Thank you Maria wood Home Consignment Center

Mayor and City Council Members,
At this time of crisis in our country, state, county, and cities, it is essential that elected officials consider the
need to rneet the moment of crisis head on. Considering the needs of the community is housing, health, and
safety, it seems to be a kiiee jierk reaction to provide $6.5 million to Visit Anaheim in the start of this crisis - no
where near the end of it. We are at the start of a crisis - I hope you will consider the needs, of the most
vulnerable in your decisions. Most of the regular people who live in Anaheim are not concerned with the
public's love and desire to come to our Resort Area - they are, concerned with public health and their ability to
protect their own fragile status quo.

It would be better to increase funds to "Anaheim Community F'o,undatioln" noted in the bullet item on, page 5 then
spend $6,500,000 on, marketing. 11 bleliieve we should spend the funds to help people not marketing,. There wilt be a time

Dear sir.
I vwouldl like to share something with, you regarding evictions.
As per Governor Newsome's executive order he slated " that's the last thing seniors should worry about is a place to live."
I find your proposal very sound, with one fl'aw. That seniors over 6O years old provide proof to the Landlord how Covit-191 has
affected them,
Pursuant to, President Trump, his Task Force, the Center for Disease Control, and the Army Center for Infectious Disease
Control. They all agree on one things. That seniors with pre-existing conditions over the age of 60 should not go outside.
If the, Landlord is already aware that you have a pre-exiistinig condition, then I do not feel you have to share any additional
information regarding your medical condition to prove the effect that Covert -19 has had on us.
Being a senior 73 years old, with a pre-existing condition, COPD and Cancer I do not believe that we as tenants shoulldl have to
violate the Patient -Doctor confide ntiia lity rules.
At this point in time II believe that seniors should be investing ands things that will maintain their health and stock up for at least
two weeks as recommendledi by the CDC.
In addition they can invest in, an air purifiers with germicidal ligihits, and food for 2 weeks, rather than be required to pay the rent
on time,. This will also minimize the number of trips. that have to be made to grocery stores and taking a chance, in comiing in
contact with those already infected with this deadly virus.
As an, Amateur Radio, Operator for almost 55 years, I have dliscussedl this with hundreds of rental tenants in Anaheim.
The rest of the, proposal seems very fair, keeping in mind that most seniors do not get their checks until' the 3rd of June,. So
setting a date of June 5th, would be very helpful to those, seniors.,
Thankingi you, II remain,,
Sincerely,
David M Mazer

of our community conitenidling wiit�hi the worldwide health and economic impacts of the COVID,-19 pandemic,.
After reviewing the City's agenda i item tonight, I aim, writing to urge your support for the Economic Assistance and
Recovery Package.
The fu;ndiing set aside to support the imimediiaite work of the city's non-profiit organizations is essential and will have a
very real and positive impact on the kids and faimillies we serve at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Anaheim -Cypress. Please
remember on, July 1, 20201 the Mainzainiiita Park Facility will become an officially recognized county approved Family
Resource Center facility.
It's also critical to include fundling to Visiit Anaheim to stern the loss of jobs in our heaviest hit industries and ensure the
city can expedite its recovery and get people back to work qluickly. The loss of Transit Occupancy Taxes, (TOT), sales
taxes, and other revenue sources wiill also continue to iimpact city services long, after the quarantine has ended. The
sooner our industries are back to full strength,; the sooner our city funding iis restored ais, wwelll for vital city services.
We need to work together to m,in lim ize local impacts and this package, along with state and 'fedlera I economic assistance,
wiilll make this possible.

Honorable Mayor and Council Members,
The past several weeks have seen unprecedented impacts to our local and global
community. The State and Federal directives to remain home were nearly
unimaginable until they were reality. The economic impact this will have can
not be overstated.
It is therefore important to realize that before the COVID- 19 crisis,, we in
California were suffering from a Housing Supply Crisis. The orders, to shelter
in your homes exacerbated the crushing need for housing in California to meet
the demand.
Thus, it is with great optimism we see the City of Anaheim again leading the
way through this difficult time with the Economic Recovery Plan proposed.
Measures included in the Staff Report calling for "extending time frames as
necessary to facilitate development, deferring, reducing, or waiving fees,
expediting the plan check and review process" and further, regulatory relief
measures are exactly what is needed to again solidify Anaheim as, a leader in
California -
We also know there will be a great deal of work needed to make good on these
proposals. We offer the experience and knowledge of our Association in
providing the assistance necessary to implement these plans. Again, it is
exciting to see Anaheirn again rising to the top and creating a roadmap to

Dear Mayor Siclhui and Members of the City Council:
For over 25 years, the Orange County Conservation, Corps (OCCC) i has served Orange County as a premiere
nonprofit partner to our county, miun,iciipat, and educational agencies as a partner in workforce development,
disaster operations, and community services. For reference, 1, have attached a flyer that describes or local
functional capacities. We are proud to call the City of Anaheim home to our headquarters. We create a safety
net and career pathways, for at-riisk young adults throughout the county, focusing on the 5%, of the county's,
young, adults who are considered "disconnected" — indlividulal's who are neither in school nor working and
much, more llikelly than their connected peers to become homeless,, john gangs, or become incarcerated. By
giving, these young people opportunities, to, work on, the region's critical disaster relief and environmental
management projects, we provide them paid work experience, mientoriing and life skills, ands pathways to high
school diplomas and careers. For 70% of our Corpsmembers, the OCCC is their first job. The effect is clear:
quality of life, social cohesion, and economic outcomes, are improved for our Corpsmembers and their families,
while poverty and crime go down.
it's this experience that makes OCCC acutely aware of the, devastating impact the novel coronavirus/COVID-19
crisis has had on our Anaheim community and our Corpsmembers. OCCC serves, 550 youth annually, 50% of
whom are Anaheim residents. Every siingle one has been impacted personiallly or through family. In addition,
more than 5,01 Corps alumni have been laid off from th,eirjobs and are reaching out to the OCCC seeking
emergency employment and resources. These are Corpsmembers who have successfully completed one, of our
programs and have transitioned to outside employment, only to lose it. They and their fellow Corpsmembers
need our community's support, especially as we ask them to fulfill our reg,ioni's critiicall disaster relief needls.
Given, these dire circumstances we are facing together, I was heartened to, see that the City C,ounciill is
conis,ideriing Item 01 as an initial relief package to bolster critical city services and support the economic
engines that we will rely on to recover from this crisis.. On behalf of the OCCC, its staff, and its Corpsmembers, I
strongly and respectfully urge you to vote in, favor of Item, #1 on tonight's agenda,
If you have any questions, please feel free to, call or text me at
Thank you for your kind attention.

Subject: Please aittaich to, the record for the, council meeting tonight wind giiive a copy to, all
members
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council -
I wainted to take this opportunity to, provide a couiple of points of input on, the urgency funding proposal
before you this, eveniingi. Like everyone, I recognize thie absolutely unprecedented nature of the impact
the COVID-19 o,uitbreak hail had on, our community, state, nation and world. I am happy to see: that the,
City Council is actively working to idientify solutions to, so many of the issues we are now faced with - and
I firmilly support the fuindling proposal before you tonight. I believe It is oluir responisibility to cailll upon the
considerable assets of the City of Anaheim to support the residents and businesses of ouir comimuinity as
we work together to get through the challenges this generational epidemic presents.
In reviewing the proposail, there are three key points that I'd like to, bring to your attention in an effort to
ensure, that this emie,rgienicy legislation best serves the needs of oluir commiunity and concentrates the use
of the City's resouirces most effectively. In, the interest of brevity, those points are listed as follows:
1. Dedication of funds; to support C'ity workforce continuity: While I wholly s,uipport the concept of
providing necessary finianiclai support to, ouir business ainid workforce community, I think it is important
that thie legislaition provide a bit more clarity as to s,ple:cificailly how those: funds will be
utilized. Particularly, I'd like to suggest clarifying the language to explicitly staite that the funds will be
utillized in a tiered miannier to, first support Anaheimi-based) bluisinesses thiat emiplloy Anaheim residents, with
any remaining funds being allocated to Anaheim, -based buisilnesses that do niolt maintain a workforce that
includes Anaheim, residents.
2.Use of funds to support tourism advertising: Given, the significance and importance of tourism to
the economy of the City of Anaheim,, I agree that it is critical that thie City make every effort to promote
the world-clais,s attractions that are unique to, Anaheim. In an, effort to maximize the impact and benefit
that the City derives from, the use of its advertising dlollars�, I think it would be p,ruident to wa,it on, the
deployment of an advertising program unitil lloc�ail qluiarantines, s:hielter-in-plaice and safer at home
measures are lifted, Further, I believe thait until there is ai clearer picture as to when (life wrwilll return to
""normal" (whatever normal looks (like moving forward), our advertising dollars would be misspent if we
were to deploy ai program, too soon,. I would defer to, the experts in the advertising industry for their input
on this - buit it just seems a bit premature to, roll out ain aidlvertisinig pro:graim.
3,. Waiver of various, City fees: This is anothier idea that I am, fully suipportive of. Hlowever, the
language ais it is currently written does not offer a dlefinitive end-point as, to, when this fee waiver period
will expire.The collllection of City fees is a significant source of revenue for the City - and whiille I strongly
believe this is not the time for the City to be, worrying aibout the collection, of various; fees, I do think that
it wouilid be prudent to implement language that establishes a, timelinie of three (3) months in which the
City Manager has the discretion to waive fees. At the end of that pericid, the City Council can evaluate
whether the need is itilll in place for the waiver of fees, or if the City can be moving back towards ai more
"'business as usual" approach to the collection of its revenue generating fees.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide my input - I aim hopeful that it is hellpifuil in fostering a, thiolughtfuil
dliscussion of these iss,uies.
As a resident of the City, I am thankful for your leadership dluring these challenging times, I know it is not
ain easy job.

As I shared earlier, the Boys and Boys and Girts Clubs of Anaheim -Cypress have, been hit hard along with many members
of our community contending with the worldwide health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemiic.
After reviewing the Ciity's agenda item tonight, II am writing to, urge your support foirthe Economic Assistance and

The funding set aside to support the immediate work of the ciity's non-profit organizations is essential and will have a
very reall and positive impact on, the kids we serve at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Anaheim -Cypress.
lit's also critical to include funding to Visit Anaheim to stem, the loss of jobs in our heaviest hit industries and ensure the
city can expedliite its recovery and get people back to work quiiickly. The loss of Transit Occupancy Taxes (TOT), sailles
taxes, and other revenue sources will also continue to impact city services long after the quarantiine has ended. The
sooner our industries are back to fulili strength; the sooner our city funding is restored as welili for vital city services.
We need to work together to, minimize local impacts and this package, along with state and federal economic assistance,
willl make this possible.
Thank you for your leadership at this diifficult time. I res,pectfuilily urge your support of the Economic Assistance and

Dear Anaheim City Council,
I want to strongly encourage you to take immediate actions which will provide new, housing units to those
deemed most vulnerable to COVID- 19 and currently residing in an emergency shelter. It wwould be detrimental
to the entire Orange County community if COVID-I 9 were to infect a large number of people at the same time.
Our health professionals, housekeeping, and janitors at hospitals are counting on you to keep the spread of
CCS iVID-19 to a minimum in our community. Please take action now.

Agenda for toniighit's City Council Meeting,
Please note that we are business, owners and homeowners in the Anaheim Hills area. We are aware that there is
a City Council meeting tonight and discussion of a proposal to, spend $15,000,000 of City Reserves to address
the impact of COVID-19.
The main concern we have is on page 6 of 6 that states that $,6,500.010,01 would be spent on marketing. We feel
that that is an exuberant amount of money to, spend in marketing when there's so many other ways to allocate
those funds, One way to is to allocate funding for medical supplies and education to combat the deadly virus
COVID-I 9. This virus is proving to be unpredictable seemingly for years to come and to spend money on
marketing feels a little irresponsible at this time.
We appreciate your time and feel free to, contact me if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Regina Willis

Proposed Resort Assistance
MW
I am writing to express, my disagreement with the proposed resort assistance. I believe it is, premature to
authorize use of general funds from the City for unclear marketing purposes. While I understand that the loss of
resort revenues will have an impact on the City's overall revenues, I do not believe it is prudent of the: Council
to authorize this expense amidst uncertainty. The impact to the resort area is unknown at this time and it is also!
unknown whether they have their own resources to use fair marketing purposes. There are thousands of
Anaheim residents who, will need assistance as a result of this crisis and prior to authorizing expenditures, the
City needs to consider these first.
Thank you,

Hello Mayor Sidhu and Anaheim City Cor wil Members
It has come to my attention that a special inectin g is being, held to, rake a vote on $15 Million.
I request that you do not use taxpayers or city funds to spend on promoting the City of Anaheim during or after
this COVID 19 Crisis.
Allow the private sector and industry to fund the promotion of the, City of Anaheina,
Donot use 6.5 Million from the General Fund for Promoting Anaheim. Use the funds to help our Homeless and
people who have lost thier jobs in this Crisis.
The Private sector has the resources to make a bigger difference and Help engage them, to help more.

Dear Mayor Harry Sidhu and members of the Anaheim City Council:
IW writing thlis email to ex�press my deep reservations about a proposal in Item, Al on tonight's city council agenda which
will give "Visit Anaheim" (a Iso known as the "Ana heimi, Area Visitor and Convention Bu reau") a pproximiaitely $6.5 m 11 lion

I fully understand the pivotal role tourism plays in generating millions of dollars in tax revenue for the City w,-
But sinice Governor Gavin Newsom hasn't given us, a clear indication as to when his "stay-athome-order" mligh!t be lifted,
isnI't it a bit premature to start spending large sums of money on this now?

Personally, I think it is downright immoral for this body to even be wasting its energy talking about "tourist marketing"
at this time. Our number one priority as, a city sho�ulld be focused on stopping the spread of the COVID-19 virus among
the general population, not spreadlinig $6.5 miilllion in public funds to the mayor's friends.

Today, we are faced with, ani uinprecedented disaster. In one day, our business fell over 50,%
threatening the jobs of our 400 team members. We have already been forced to conduct many layoffs
as the significant decline in business threatens the future of the company my father foundledl after
movingi to Anaheim, in, 19,72.
On behalf of the hundreds of families at Reborn impacted by this,, I am writing to urge your support for
Mayor Harry Sidhiu;'s Economic Assistance and Recovery Package,.
We appreciate that the Council has worked together to call for a state of emergency and to take steps
throiuiglh the city's Emergency Operations Center to help those in need through, this crisis.

RE: SUPPORT OF ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE AND RECOVERY PACKAGE
Dlear Mayor Sidhu and City Council Members,
On behalf of the Anaheim Transportation, Network (ATNI), I'm writing to express our support for the Mayor's
Economic Assistance and' Recovery Package. ATNI provides a, menu of transportation services for the general
public in the greater Anaheim region. These programs, include a network of fixed routes, throughout
Anaheim, and on -demand MicroTransit services in our Vocal neighborhoods.
As similar actions have been taken at the state and fedlerall llevel, we believe the Mayor's Economic
Assistance andl Recovery Package will support local residents, employees andl businesses through the
challenges, facing our community. Thee 15 m,illllion assistance package, combined with the proposed policy
changes,,, will provide immediate and much-needed assistance to those in, Anaheim, most afffectedl by the
crisis.
Like other businesses, we are working, diiligenitly to keep our workforce employed, The package before you
this evening will help bring stability to the business community, which will benefit employees andl residents
throughout Anaheim.
Thunk you for your leadershiiip, and consideration of our views,
Sincerely,
Warta Kotlier

Subject: This evening's mvmetioni.
First of all this is NOT any kind of emergency, especially the part about pledging $6.5 million to advertising the
resort district through Visit Anaheim, This, foolishness can be discussed at leisure in regular meetings.
Secondly that $6.5 million for advertising is an especially offensive reason to siphon our precious arid
dwindling reserve funds, which are already being siphoned off by the Convention Center expansion bonds and
this month's extravagant public safety raises.
The world does not to be reminded, in April and probably not in May, that Disney, the Ducks, the Angels, the
Convention Center, and our hotels exist. And when the world needs to be reminded of all that, those wealthy
interests can pay for their own advertisement. We have real needs in this city, much more urgent than that.
GETSERIOUS PLEASE. If there's a time for corruption and cronyism it might not be tight now.
Respectfully, Vein. "Tbe White Man of Anna Drive."

Day,
Please update my, comments, for the Record for toinighit's meeting since it is a bit before 3 pm, and I
still have an open window.
There is no, need for Anaheim to panic and over -react. Pre,s,idlent Trump juist updated America and
there is no, need for Anaheim to pulled $15,0100,0010 out of Reserves, unless there is, a hidden
agenda? Because that's what I see after read`ingl what you plan to spend the funds on, M�ayolr. Visit
Anaheim at $6,000,01010?,?,? Are you serious? It's only been two weeks!!Trump, as, well as the
Governor of CA, has it under control. $6MM to Visit Anaheim, $6MM additional funds to "'homeless"'
crap (as if we haven't been, drained enough) and $2MM to the people (if we are, lucky). THERE IS
NO REASONI TO WASTE OUR RESERVES. EVERYONE CALM DOWN! I seriously feel like,
Mayor, you are seizing an opportunity while no one is, lookinigi, to get this item approved
swiftfully. Youl are, not even giving our President or CA time to, deal with this. Instead, our Governor
Newsom waved the magic wwrandl to allow cities to, implement their own Orders, and I feel that is totally
wrong. Again,, look at Ariizona -- Gov Ducey WOULD NOT allow each, city, to make theiir own Orders;
instead, he made Executive Orders for every city in the state, andl that is the way it s,houild be,,

FS'xecufive Secretary March 26, 2020
Dear Mayor and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
Each of us is contending with the worldwide health and economic impacts as a result of the C01VID-19
pandemic. The work that the men and women of the building trades do in Anaheim and throughout Orange:
County has been no exception. When the Anaheim Resort and projects in every part of the city come to a
standstill, it affects every one of us, and our families.
On behalf of the Los Angeles & Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, I am writing to
urge your support for Mayor Harry Sidhu's Economic Assistance and Recovery Package.
You've seen us, the members of the trades, throughout the city. And you've seen us of course in the council
chambers to speak out on issues important to us. We're folks who are even now beginning to feel the impact of
the economic slowdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. That means families trying harder and harder to
make ends meet and pay the bills.
As with similar actions taken at the state and federal level, we want you to know that we support the Mayor's,
request to approve a $15 million dollar assistance: package to get immediate assistance out to residents and
local businesses most affected by the crisis.
For us, we recognize especially the importance of strearnlining the development and approvals process,
reducing or waiving fees, expediting plan check and review periods, implementing electronic checks where
possible, and other regulatory releif measures to cut back on red tape and make the approvals process smoother
and faster.
A I] those important steps add up; to one: very crucial result: getting the building trades back to work doing what
we do best, and that's building Anaheim, Whether it's more hotels, convention and meeting facilities, schools,
or infrastructure, it means we doour part to contribute to Anaheim's economic recovery.
In addition, we support the policy changes, included in the Mayor's package to protect vital services for
residents, including many of our own who, call Anaheim home, keep city workers on the payroll, and ease
regulations on local businesses, mitigate existing job losses, and expedite our local recovery in Anaheim.
Anaheim's pain is our pain, and we feel it. But Anaheim's success is also our success, and we stand shoulder
to shoulder with the city, acting as partners to get our men and women back to, work, for ourselves and for the
success of Anaheim.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. We respectfully urge your support of the Economic
Assistance and Recovery Package on the Council's, Special Meeting agenda tonight.

Recovery Packaige for Anaheim Resort Industry
As a long-time resident of the City of Anaheim, I am writing to express my opposition to a $,15 million
Recovery Package for the City's Resort Industry. That amounts to nothing more than corporate welfare! Instead
City Council should seriously consider helping all the Anaheim residents seeking unemployment
benefits. They will soon be unable to pay their monthly rents/mortgages, medical bills, food expenses,
etc. And once again you are overlooking the most vulnerable among us, i.e. the Anaheim homeless. $15 million
would go a long way in supporting our existing food banks!

Mister Mayor, Councilmen, and Councilwomen,
I am writing to you as a fellow city member. I was born and raised in this city and I find it appalling that during
these difficult times in this world, country,, state and in this city you are making a decision to hand over 6.5
million dollars of city money, my money and that of my neighbors over to businesses that can easily make that
money in weeks, Mister Mayor, you continue to make these critical decisions, without any regards to the
opinions of your council let alone those of the people you serve. You had no problem signing of an ordinance so
families that rent wouldn't lose their home due to lack of money. However, those landlords still have mortgages
to pay to the banks, Your power will not stop banks from removing these families if the landlord can't pay their
loans. We have families in need of assistance to, pay for their rent, meals, and utilities. That 6,5 million can
really come in handy to these families that may take them months to recover. As a citizen of this city, I believe
the use: of large amount of money or making decisions on how we allocate it should be taken to the city for a
vote. Let the community speak, because we will soon speak to have you removed from your position due to
misuse of power. During difficult times, people will unite and changes will be made.

Disgusted Resident
Anaheim City Council,
Duiriing this time of uncertainty for Anaheim, residents it would behoove our city council to consider the well being of
their residents by prioritizing their safety and ww!elll being, before any profit or financial assistance to the resort area. The
$6.5 mullion dollar boost to Anaheim First that Mayor Sidhiui proposed this past week is nothing short of repulsive. It is
sickening that the Mayor wasted no time to pluirsue this type of clevisive and self-serving action, in a time where residents
are worrying about basic survival. Only a, den of a snakes hike Mayor Siclhu, Trevor O'Neil and Steve Faiessell would have
the audacity to propose such a giveaway from Anaheiimi's reserve. I am a, former Cultural & Hleriitaige Commissioner that
worked for almost two years on a proposal for a cultural event that wound serve all Anaheim, residents only to be told
that there was no money available for such a, thing. Nlow all of a sudden, during the COVIID 19 pandemic, we are in dire
need of pulling mi!lllliio,ns of dollars, out of the reserve? For what? To settle debts from, campaign contributors? It is
obvious,, through this weeks recommendation, by the Mayor, that our council majority orally serves corporate interest in
Anaheim. The council majority does not care a,boluit the well-being of all Anaheilml residents especially those those that
live paycheck to paycheck. I urge the council majority to throw away the plans that would, provide miilllionis of dollars to
Anaheim First. it should not even be an item up for discussion. If the council has an, ounce of integrity or heart they will
cease pursuing this item. I would like to suggest, however, that if the council decides to tap into city, reserves that those
fuinds go directly to residents inl the form of aide during this pandemic. Thank you.

Special Meeting of March, 26th $15 miillio�n stiimiullus,.
I am writing to, urge you to, not give 6.5 million to the Chamber for advertising
My name is Annemarie Randle-Trejo AUHSD Trustee.
I'd like to let you know first that the Anaheim Union High School District is doing ifs part to help our families
in Anaheim.
Although we have closed sites we are still feeding our students and the Anaheirn Elementary students who
need meals.
We average over 800 meals a day at just one of our sites and we have many sites!
I can appreciate you wanting to help the city get back on it's feet when we deem at a certain time ,is safe.
We all want to get back to, our normal lives again.
However,the message that is being sent out today with certain provisions of this $15 million stimulus package
is that corporations and business comes first.
I am certainly not alone in my assumptions as we heard you speak about this at the last meeting.
I will be brief but I will be blunt.
Giving the 6.5 million to advertise is an inappropriate way to spend money at this time.
People are hungry, afraid of becoming sick and afraid that there will not be a hospital bed for them if they get
sick.
When the country and county are talking about shortages of masks, gowns, ventilators
and hospital facilities city residents are counting on you . They want you to think about them first- not Disney.
Frankly we all know Disney will be fine, They will advertise and the tourists will come to Anaheim.
Mr. Mayor with all due respect this action does not make you seem empathetic to the residents who live here.
It's a poor lead and not a good move. Please reconsider giving the 6,,5 million to the chamber at this time. it
sends
a bad message that we are giving more than a third of a stimulus package to advertise. Is that the message you
want to send?
We can re run our old advertisements and save costs. We residents all our are going through our pantries and
using what we have to conserve.
The city can at least do that and not use up our reserves for non essential things.
What the public needs to, hear more about is our plan.
What are we going to, do to help each other when people catch the virus and how we are going to whether that
storm?
Please council use your good judgement .'fie need your leadership during these unnerving times to make sound
decisions.
We are counting on you.

My name is Lisette Sosa and I am against giving 6.5 billion to Anaheim First to boost the resort. Anaheim
needs to think about small mom and pop business and it's residents, not the resort and Disney. Start with trickle
up economics. This trickle down has been proven to skip the very residents that fund these initiatives. Also,
stop trying to, use the Coronavirus to fleece our pockets under the guise of our benefit. Get down and dirty and
actually listen to community needs. Many of us have much more time on our hands to watch and' monitor what
you are doing. I know I am watching the lack of embarrassment had by our city reps in lining their donor
pockets as payback.

Subject: No dollars for the resortst
To, Anaheim, City Council members,
The agenda for today's meeting to funnel money to, the resorts is highly suspect. My concern is only heightened
when I read that proposal came from "...economic recovery task force comprised of Mayor Pro Tem Steve
Faesscl,
Council Member Trevor O'Neil, and community stakeholders,..."
This is not a representative: body that has demonstrated compassion or concern for our most vulnerable. The
discussion Tuesday nite was the latest example of the business focus vs resident focus practices.
The ordering of the priorities is touching but also suspect, The homeless andl at risk families should have been
helped 2 years ago if this, money was in fact readily available.
The referenced $6.5 million to Visit Anaheim is outlandish, especially with current promises of federal money
to assist in just this type of situation.
"'...our City support the, relaunch, of tourism, marketing so, that Anaheim is among the first destinations
to emerge from the, economic slowdown in the
interest of all of Anaheim. The Mayor therefore recommends that Council direct
and authorize the City Maniagler to neg,otiiate terms and' performance metrics, and'!
grant up to, $6,5010,000 to, Visit Aniaheiim, our Destination, Marketing
Organization, with three equal payments in April, May, and June." Impressed you would have
performance metrics but still waiting for complete financials on the miracle Anaheim Way shelter.
And the idea of now (vs when, we are in safer times) sounds, like tRump"s idea we should open our country soon
and fill the churches, on Easter. People know where Disneyland is! (Of course few can afford to pay their
exorbitant prices, while management draws huge bonuses. )
Your donors do not need this help. The people need the help. We need to care for our workers, and
residents, not the corporations and your donors pockets.
Do not approve the $6.5 million dollars and put our "sinkhole" city at further risk..
May all be well,
Pat Davis

I don't know if you have noticed the number of homeless people alll over Anaheim. People sleeping on the

COVID-19.
You, on the other hand, seem to, put residents after businesses, Your whole career has been putting
businesses first andl residents last.
There is no reason to ass,ign, $61.5 million, dolllars to a, resort that has billio'ns! Send it to the workers that will be
unable to, work, those that don't even make $15 an hour working for those billlio,na,ires. Send it to the
struggling families who wvillll fall behind on their rent. House those on the streets and those! in their cars.
You are insensitive and an embarrassment to our city, which used to be the City of Kinidniess, until you took
over. II am ashamed that my city prornotes greed over taking care of our people.
I can't wait to vote your off as, mayor.

Subject: Concerns regarding Emergency meeting
Good afternoon,
This letter is in hope that as city council representatives and as human beings you would consider the crisis at
hand with this Covid-1 9 pandemic within our city. It is extremely sad to see that these, meetings are being held
without informing the general public in advance.
Many residents are affected by this quarantine and I would expect that as elected officials by the people for the
people, that you would be looking out for the general well being of the residents who elected you. Right now we
should be looking in how to provide medical provisions to those in need, hospitals, social service staff and
children. Why you turning, a bllind eye and trying to syphon off funds for tourism, is that of important at this
given time. Where are: your priorities?, as a resident I plead for you to desist of making malicious decisions that
do not pertain to gabe threat at hand. We have residents who need medical care, food, and yes they need a break
because many will be impacted financially. Stop oppressing the community who, put you in office to look out
for their well being. I pray that God guides your decisions and shines His light upon any evil intent and exposes
it.
T hank you for your time.

RE: Anaheim City Council "SPECIAL MiEETING" March 26,2020
It has been brought to, my attention that the State of California is providing funds ($15,010101.0001) to be ethically
and judicially utilized to assist Anaheim Residents impacted by COVID-1 9.
I'm deeply troubled and genuinely concerned by the pre announcement that Mayor Shidu is "'already" planning
on gifting six million ($,6,,000,000) dollars of taxpayer funds to "Visit Anaheim; " (yisitanqh �) an entity
Kim.org
that is only designed "To develop, promote and sell Anaheim ...... :and, provides no services to existing residents,
devastated by COVID-19.
With the recognized Worldwide pandemic still spiking and with Anaheim currently at the top of the list with
most infected in O: range County; and, with the real and rising threat to the Homeless population living on the
streets of Anaheim, utilizing the $15,000,000 to provide more health and safety for ALL the residents of
Anaheim is certainly a more ethical and moral use of the taxpayers funds.
Proactive actions like Los Angeles is strongly reconu-nended. Providing dozens/hundreds portable hand washing
stations is absolutely necessary at this time and represents only one example of how "'ethical" leadership could
help residents to prevent the spread of COVID-1 9 in Anaheim and neighboring cities.
Placing Homeless is safe buildings where they can practice safe isolation, currently, Anaheim is promoting the
spike of COVID- 19 by failing to provide "safe"' spaces for people living face-to-face and head -to -foot in
shelters located throughout the city.
If the goal of gifting millions of dollars to attract tourists is the demented priority, one can only conclude that
the Mayor and other, city council members in support are corrupt and unqualified to represent any of the
residents of Anaheim.

Suibjlect: This evening's motion,,
First of all this is NOT, any kind of emergency, especially the part, about pledging $6.5 million to advertising the
resort district through Visit Anaheim,, This foolishness can be discussed at leisure in regular meetings.
Secondly that $6.5 million for advertising is an especially offensive reason to siphon our precious and
dwindling reserve funds, which are already being siphoned off by the Convention Center expansion bonds and
this month's extravagant public safety raises -
The world does not to be reminded, in April and probably not in May, that Disney, the Ducks, the Angels, the
Convention Center, and our hotels exist. And when the world needs to be reminded of all that, those wealthy
interests can pay for their own advertisement. We have real needs in this city, much more: urgent than that.
GET SERIOUS PLEASE. If there's a time for corruption and cronyism it might not be right now.
Respectfully, Vern. "'The White Man of Anna Drive."

Anaheim. The effects of Covid-19 andl the closure of Disneyland have been, forced to close our doors indefinitely as we
fight this virus as a Nlaition. Although there seems to be some government sponsored financial stimulus forsmalt

In the mean time, We are desperately trying to conserve operating cash with zero revenue coming in.
We are feverishly working to shore up working capital, however working through the bank takes time. We are now out

My family owns and operates the Park Vue Inn hotel as well as the Anaheim Cold Stone
Creamery on Harbor Blvd in Anaheim. The effects of Covid- 19 and the closure of
Disneyland have been forced to close our doors indefinitely as we fight this virus as a
Nation. Although there seems to be some government sponsored financial stimulus fur
small business like ourselves in the works, it hasn't been made available to us and may
not for several weeks or even months. In the mean time, We are desperately trying to
conserve operating cash with zero revenue coming in.
We are feverishly working to, shore up working, capital, however working through the
bank takes time. We are now out of tine for the February Transient Occupancy Tax
deadline. I'm asking that you take up, a measure to defer our Transient Occupancy Tax
liabilities of the last two, months of operations, February and March. This use of cash is
critical to our business solvency as we want to retain our employees and keep our
properties ready for the day we can reopen.
Thank you for your valuable consideration,
Sincerely,
Patrick Durand

March 26 meeting
Dlear Mayor and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
We are all contending with the worldwide health and economic impacts as a result of the COVID-
19 pandemic.
On behalf of my employees, I am writing to urge your support for Mayor Harry Sidhu's
Economic Assistance and RecoveryPackage.
As I've mentioned before, Lighthouse has taken a serious hit. Our census has been cut in half as
p�eop�le don't want to go to rehab right now. It's becoming increasingly difficult to, keep our staff on
board. We are a very small business trying to save lives but it's hard if we can't fill our beds.
We appreciate that the Council has worked together to call for a state of emergency and to
take steps through the city's Emergency Operations Center to help those in need through this
crisis.
We: understand that City funding is impacted, like our own business, during this unprecedented
time in world history. As with similar actions taken at the state and federal level, we support the
Mayor's request to approve a $15 million assistance package to get immediate assistance out to,
residents and local businesses most affected by the crisis.
In addition, we support the policy changes included in the Mayor's package to protect vital services
for residents, keep city workers on the payroll, and ease regulations on local businesses, mitigate
existing job losses, and expedite our local recovery in Anaheim.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. We respectfully urge your support
of the Economic Assistance and Recovery Package on the Council's Special Meeting
agenda tonight, March 26, 2020.
Have a great day,

Subject: Anaheim, Economic Recovery Plan,
Dear Mayor andl Members of the Anaheim City Council,
I found out about the last minute Counci I meeting today at 2pm. I read the Recovery Plan and I have attached my response:,
Regards,
John Ortiz
Dear Mayor and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
Everyone knows, that Anaheim, like the rest of the nation, is in the midst of dealing with the Wuhaini
Coronavirus Pandemic, Our president and the Coronavirus. Task Force is working hard to bring together
all of the resources of the Federal Government, Our Governor wind the State Task Force is working with
our State's resources to implement solutions aillonig with, the Federal Governments strong support.
Hopefully, Congress wilt set aside partisanship and approve a stimuluis package that helps, individuals,
and businesses (with loans) across our nation. Our city should be focused on residents and
implementing the best "last mile" deployment for assistiing people.
The, "Anaheim Economic Recovery P'llain" breakdown is as follows:
1. $ 2,00,0,0001 grant to the Anaheim, Community Foundation for direct ass,iistanice to residents ainid
community non-proflits
I $ 6,000,000 to the City Manager to support programs for homeless population, housing
assistance wind city workforce continuity
3. Direct City Miainaiger to defer enforcement for TOT (Trainsiient Occupancy Tax) for ai period of 90
days
4. $ 6,500,0100 to Visit Anaheim for Destination Marketing
5,. Dlirect City Manager to des,iign incentiviization, programs for commercial and residentiiail
development
& $ 500,000 for a Buy/Shicip/Dine/Hire/Purchase Local's program
As, written, I cannot support the "Anaheim Economic Recovery P'llain". The only item on this list that I
could support as written, wwouldl be #5, Of course, the Ciity Manager should already be doing this on hiis
ownil As the City Manager, he should be figuring out what aspects of the Anaheim, economy could be re-
started wiith ai strategic incentive after Federal and State mandates; are released. Every other item does
not list enough information to support it.
The $ 6,500,000 to Visit Anaheim is juist a, bad dlecis,ioin. A Destination Marketing plain is going to, be a
waste of money because there iis no demand for visiting a tourist mecca. Rest assured, everyone in the
nation knows that Anaheim has the Disneyland' Resort, Hotels,, Angels, Ducks and the Convention
Center. Thee new normal for entertainment, touirism, hospitality, restauranits, and bars will not begin uintiil
people feell safe agaiin. The first customers for these Industries will be the people that live within 30
miiles, of our great city. Those are the people you will have to convince first and your actioinis to help, the
people of Anaheim will show those people that Anaheim is a, safe place.
With all of this uncertainty suirroundiing us, we are fortuiniate to be in, America. Anaheim, Oirainige County,
California and the rest of the Nation hind great economic success in 2017, 2018, aindi 20191. We were all
on ouir waiy to have an amaizinig 2020, until Wuhan Coironaiviruis showed up. Fortunately, most businesses
are, sound and some are st�ronig wind ready to get blaick to business,
Anaheim, CA 92.805
The city of Anahein'll shoutcl be focusiinig resources on the, "hast -mile"` of support. Here are some good
ideas to start the ball rollling:
1. Develop people networks for the entire city. We need to communicate with, everyone via,
email, phone, text, twitter and the City website. People need to, stay connected. I heard about
the, Anaheim, Economic Recovery Plain today at 2pmi! (Essential Communication)
2. Mobile Food Banks. The City should sponsor or manage a mobile Foodl Bank where essential
food and products are pre-packaged and given to each i Anaheim resident. (Essential! Help)
3. Senior Resident Mobille Team., A team should be deployed to deliver food, medicine and
hygiene, products to senior citizens to, keep them safe. (Safety for our Seniors)
4. Deploy Free Dumpsters. Many residents are home and having, d'uimipsters around the city would
motivate them, to clean out their garages and homes, (Personal Accomplishments)
5. Promote Volluinteeriism. Use your people network and spur residents to get iinvolvedl in
Neighborhood Watch, create an Online CERT Training & online small buisiiness support training
6. Hotels for Homeless: The City should contact every hotel and negotiate ai rate to use hotels to
house the hiomelless poputationi. The City should be pursuilng grants to help pay for this, effort.
(Hlotell Revenue)
7, Homeless Shelter Development. The City should be contacting the City's Developers, and hiellp
incenitiive them to buiilld long-term homeless shelters. (Contractor Jobs)
It took me an hourto write this letter, given, the opportunity, I bet 11 could come up with a list that would
help Anaheim, build the `"hast mile" of support. We are in, a fight and most of us have never had to deal
with a situation like the, Wuhan, Coronavirus. Transparency, Understanding of Our Capabilities &
Patience will get us through this challeniging tiime.
I appreciate the efforts around the city.

Subject: From Benita Gagne - Resident -"'khat the City should do regarding economic recovery
planning
Hello Council and Staff,
It is not a City's job to indemnify its, residents and businesses against tough economic times. Period. In our
opinion (my husband and mine), no City of Anaheim revenue/money should be allocated toward further
economic relief efforts, including the "Mayor's Economic Recovery Plan".
This two week shutdown is affecting every resident and every business across, the nation, and if the shutdown
extends it may cause businesses to fail and more people to be out of work; I understand that. I also know that
$15,000,000 would not make everyone in the City of Anaheim whole, It comes, to $42,8,5 per person. That is
insignificant, so I believe Anaheim should not have an "Economic Recovery Plan"' that essentially fails to
promote any kind of a viable economic recovery.
Governments cannot do everything well at all. History has taught us that. Governments are good at certain
things that citizens cannot do well just by themselves. Governments are not good at regulating economies,
Be that as it may, I understand that the Federal Government has just passed a relief bill of 2 trillion to assist
everyone, renters, landlords, tourist venues, everyone. It will give each adult $,1,200.00 andl each child $5001.001.
Presuming that there are 2 children for every two adults in Anaheim (a sheer guess on my part), the Fed Gov
will be sending $275,500,000 to the residents of Anaheim.
If the city government MUST do something, then lower the tax/fee burden on all Anaheim employers of
Anaheim residents. It may not translate into direct employment but it should help keep struggling employers in
business and thus keep their employees employed, which helps the City.
In short, save already allocated City of Anaheim money for the programs, and services, and projects currently
underway that will be greatly needed once the "shelter in place" is lifted and don't divert it for "economic
recovery" efforts that cannot achieve what they purport to achieve.
Thank you.

Hello,
My name is Angelica. I have been a resident of Anaheim my entire life. In these times I would expect a Mayor
to think first and foremost of his or her constituents. As much as I love Disneyland I find it offensive that our
city funds are even considered to pay for their advertising. Disney is, a multi-million dollar company. They have
never needed help advertising and I highly doubt they will need it now. These funds could serve a better
purpose. Like helping your constituents with rent assistance. Gentrification has already made it difficult to keep
up with the never ending rise in rents, you add on top of that the fact that thousands of people are without work
and you really have a crisis on your hand. The people you voted for you need you. Now is the time to
demonstrate that you actually care about them and not corporate interest.

I DO NOT suppert the proposed plan that will be introduced tonight. This is just a scheme to, give money to the

Hey I was told that you may be using funds towards promoting Anaheim for the city of Tourism - I personally would like to see the
funds only add allocated for crisis driven responses only at this point in time.
I hope that you guys start addressing the prostitution as a virus potential on Beach Boulevard and a greater response for the homeless
at this point in time.
I currently am stuck at a relocation property off of Beach and Lincoln and feet that we are an at -risk property right now with several of

NO NEEED FOR SENIOR VERIFICATION
Dear Mayor and Council Members.
II would like to weigh in on something with you regarding evictions.
As per Governor Newsome's executive order he stated "' that's the last thing seniors should worry about is a, place to five.". That
seniors over 60 years old do not go outside and remain at home which makes them unable to work.
Pursuant to President Trump, his Task Force, the Center for Disease Control, and the Army Center for Infectious Disease
Controll. They all agree on one thing. That seniors with pre-existing conditions over the age of 60 should not go outside. This
could be a death, sentence for them.
I do not feel you have to share any additional information regarding your medicalcon clition, to prove the effect that Covert -19
Virus has had on us,, which would be a viollation of law.
Being a senior 73 years old, with a pre-existing condition, COPD and Cancer I do not believe that we, as tenants should have to
violate the Patient-Dioctolr confidentiality act as well as their oath:.
At this point in time I believe that seniors should be investing and things that will maintain their health and stock up for at least
two weeks as recommendledl by the CDC, and the Army Center for Infectious Disease Control.
Ing aiddlition they can, invest in, an air purifiers with germicidal lights, and food for 2 weeks, rather than be required to play the rent
on firre. Thiis will also minimize the number of trips that have to be made to, Grocery Stores, andtaking a chance in coming in
contact with those already infected with this deadlly virus in, which seniors are much more acceptable to
As an Amateur Radii,o Operator for almost 55, years, I have discussed this with hundreds of rental tenants in, Anaheim, and
tholusands across the country.
The rest of the proposal seems very fair, keeping in miindl that most seniors do, not get their checks until the, 3rd of June, So
setting a date, of June 5th, would be very helpful to those seniors.
Thankiingi you, I remain,
Sincerely,

Today, I am providing an overview of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act, the third stimulus package related to the coronavirus. Yesterday, it passed the
Senate by a vote of 961-0. It is expected to be voted on by the House Of Representatives,
tomorrow or Saturday.
The entire cost of this third stimulus package is $2 trillion, representing about 9% of the US,
GDP. The legislation contains non-taxable assistance for individuals and families. Sadly, for
individuals to obtain assistance, a person must have a social security number. Consequently,
many of our resident taxpayers will not be eligible to receive assistance tinder this category.
Additionally, there is funding to help small businesses to, stay in business and continue to pay
their employees.
There is also funding to help state and loud governments. I am working with our Orange
County representatives to ensure that our local cities can obtain all funding that they may be
eligible for.
After you review this third stimulus, package, please contact nic with your thoughts, comments
and concerns. Please note that a fourth funding package is, expected in April.
I commend your efforts to keep our residents, in their hornes and to keep our small businesses
open:,.
If you have any comments or questions, please contact our office.

Honorable Councilmembers:
Thank you for your consideration of covid-19 emergency funds, going dlirectlly to the community and to help,
businesses. Please rememberthe most vulnerable of our homeless population, children of addicts. They are the "silient
sufferers" of the national o,pioiid crisis that has threatened every community in our niatiion. Sadly, they are seldom
mentioned andl seldom, seen, but they are seen by those of us who work on the front lines of homelessness, Please
ensure that there is specific monetary help and consideration given to these children who suffer behavioral, mental,
and scholastic defiicienciies and are most likely to abuse dirugs/allcohiol at a young age.
Respectfully submitted,
Lorrii Galloway,

Hey I was told that you may he using funds towards promoting Anaheim for the city of Tourism - I personally would like to see the
funds only add allocated for crisis driven responses only at this point in time.
I hope that you guys start addressing the prostitution as a virus potential on Beach Boulevard and a greater response for the homeless
at this point in time.
I currently am stuck at a relocation property off of Beach and Lincoln and feel that we are an at -risk property right now with several of
the elements that are going on here up to and including people using the parking lot to turn around and pick up hookers on the street.

All 15 million dollars that were allotted to Anaheim should he used for the city's residents, including the
homeless, hospitals, and residents who are no longer working. It is e:xtremely disappointing that the city would
use these funds to help millionaires in the midst of such a crisis. Residents should come first. They are who vote

No $,6.5 million for Visit Anaheim
I wanted to share that I do not agree that $6.5 million go towards Visit Anaheim. That money can be used for
our community in these moments of uncertainty. There's a lot of people that need assistance with their rent,
utilities, childcare as well as the elderly that need assistance with their groceries. But especially our hospitals,
first responders and healthcare providers. A decision like this can't be taken so lightly. Moire time is needed to
see what the needs are of our city and residents. I feel strongly that the voting on this must not take place in
such a rush.

Subject: Proposed COVID 19 plan,
To the Council Members and Mayor of Anaheim city:
As a long standing resident of Anaheim, who has gone from elementary to grad school in this community, and
has participated in civic events, throughout High School as Katella High School's School Ambassador At
AUHSD, I am asking you to not vote in favor of this bill. The proposed 6.5 million dollars allocated to Visit
Anaheim WILL NOT benefit our community. This money should instead be going directly to those residents
affected by COVID- 19 closures. Let the large corporations that attract tourism each year manage the tourism
attraction, they can afford it, WE your citizens cannot.Right now, what is needed is money in infrastructure so
that our local hospitals can afford protection and better care for our residents. We need to shelter the most
vulnerable, we need to make sure our kids at risk of going hungry are fed. We will worry about tourism at a
later time, or better yet let those companies figure it out, we all know they are not going anywhere,
It is your responsibility as OUR council members to take care of your constituents, please remember who
elected you. The proposition does not protect us, your citizens, it does not protect our homeowners and renters.
Come up with a better plan, because this is inaceptable.

The proposal to implement avariety of programs,, policies, and practices designed to incentivize development

Before the COVID-19 crisis, we were squarely in, al -lousing Crisis. The impacts of CO ID -1'9 have only

Greetings,
My name is, Griselda Aguirre. I made this video in hopes, to advocate for my community (See below. We should
not be spending money on already enrichcdentitics such as Disney- resort industry. We should be funding small
businesses, mobile home owners, support homelessness and housing- the 15 million should go to our residents.
Living paycheck to paycheck is NOT living. Surviving is not living.
This is happening rather quickly. You all are not including us in the conversation. Think about our community,
Respectfully,

To the council who represent the, City of Anaheim and their residents and to Our Mia,yor who Should have Andl want the
hest of interests of the fellow Anaheim residlents,. I totally disagree with what the 6.5 million, of doillars, are being
proposed to be used for. I don't bellieve promoting tourism, is our biggest concern, at this moment. I however agree that
that money should go towards hellping the residents of Anaheim to playback or to relive the stress of paying their rent in
these diff iicuilt times as we battle a world pandemic that has affected not only our nation but our be,autifuil city. Imi
certain that Anaheim and Disneyland itself wiill have funds coming in, from, the State that can hellp with the promotion of
tourism later on. I would definitely like for our council members to, please take a minute to think this through and to
please VOTE NO I It's not in the best Interest of Anaheim Residents,

Re: Anaheim Economic Recovery Plan
Dear Mayor Sldhu:
11 am writing on, behalf of the Anaheim Municipal Employees Association (AM:EA) and the Orange County
Employees Association, (OCEA). Both AMEA and OCEA strongly support Item, No. I on, toinight's, City
Council Agenda and urge the City Council to adopt the "Anaheim, Economic Recovery Pllan."
In, a, crisis such as that presented by the COVID,-19 pandemic, we must all! stand shoulder to shoulder to
ensure that the City remain capable of providing vital public services and, just as critically, that the City
be prepared to recover as quickly as possible from any resulting, economic harm.
The "Anaheim Economic Recovery Plan" accomplishes both of these imperatives and we strongly
recommend unanimous adoption, of the plan by the City Council.
Please contact me if we can be of any assistance.

I agree with this but I insist the economic development plan includes west Anahein-i, as we were so close to our
Bead Blvd plan, and we dont want to see it bumped to the bottorn of the list again.
Small'business owners- want to open and invest in this, area, and they are rightfully concerned. So when this is

Subject., Re: Anaheim City Cou-neff "SPECLAL MEETING"March 26, 2020
Dear City,
I echo these sentiments. We are in the midst of a public health crisis. The CDC has been clear. It
is an emergency. All people must socially distance and shelter in place. Homeless individuals
need to be moved into private rooms with private bathrooms temporarily to slow the spread.
People who may have been exposed and have at risk family mern bers at, home need to have
access to private rooms for self quarantine. Any action other than immediately renting all
available hotels to 1) get workers employed and (2) slow the curve is a dangerous misuse of the
ftmds.
If Anaheim fails to take evidence based and well conceived action now it will cost lives. Lives of
the homeless people. Lives of other members of'the conununity. Lives of first responders. Lives
of medical providers. Our hospitals will struggle, we see it in other locations and we know it will
be here within weeks. If the City insists on refusing to use this money for real solutions now, at a
minimum the city should wait until the pandemic passes so there: is an opportunity to reconsider
before the funds are spent.
Here are some critical resources,

Here is a terrifying paper about risks if we do, not quarantine and isolate in individual space.

The CDC recommends moving people to INDIVIDUAL ROOMS with bathrooms to reduce the
spread. This is the only way to allow for real social distancing. Absent that, the CDC'
recommends reducing capacity at large shelters to allow for social distancing and engaging in an
education campaign to make sure people have the facts about how to stay safe. Right now, none
of Anaheim's shelters allow for adequate space to maintain social distance safety. And these
shelters do not have access to transfer symptomatic individuals, to isolation instead of ERs. With
this funding, the City has an opportunity to right this wrong for the bene -fit of the community.
This virus spreads FAST. If people are in shared space, they will touch the same surfaces, tables,
and bathrooms and will spread it if anyone inside is infected (volunteer, staff, or resident). Beds
6 feet apart will not protect them. Imagine you are in a bed surrounded by beds -- you and your
neighbor, both want to stand up, how do you do that without coming toe to toe and then face: to
face with them? You cannot maintain the 6 foot distance.
Additionally, the CDC recorm-nends people in individual tents STAY in those individual tent
where they can be socially isolated and the governments bring hygiene to them if they are groups
of 10 or more. The CDC recommends TENT'S be placed 12 feet apart. Surely people without
tents should not be any closer than that.
Today, the urgent need, the only need that will save lives, is to provide everyone a safe place to
shelter in place. That means ensuring that Anaheim matches the standards set forth by LA to
suspend towing and tickets and keep families where they are. That means that Anaheim follow
CDC guidance for low income residents and homeless residents, to get in safe individual
temporary placement. That means creating an opportunity to engage in social distancing and
ensuring everyone has access to handwashing and basic sanitation. That means, voting no on
spending the money in any other way before the crisis has passed.

Re: Agenda Item 1.
It has been brought to my attention that the State of California is providing funds (1 ,0010.01001
to be ethically and judicially utilized to assist Anaheim Residents impacted by COVID�- 19,.
I'm deeply troubled and genuinely concerned by the pre announcement that Mayor Shidu is
"already" planning on gifting six million ($6,,0:00,000) dollars of taxpayer funds to "Visit
Anaheim;"' ( &,) an entity that is only designed "To develop, promote and sell
Anahei...."":and, provides no services to existing residents, devastated by COVID-19,.
With the recognized'Worldwide pandernic still spiking and with Anaheim currently at the top of
the list with most infected in Orange County; and, with the real and rising threat to, the
Homeless population living on the: streets of Anaheim, utilizing, the $15,00101,0010 to provide
more health and safety for ALL the residents of Anaheim is certainly a more ethical and moral
use: of the taxpayers funds.
Proactive actions like Los, Angeles, is strongly recommended. Providing dozens/hundreds
portable hand washing stations is absolutely necessary at this time and represents only one
example of how "ethical"leadership, could help residents to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in
Anaheim and neighboring cities.
Placing Homeless is safe buildings where they can practice safe isolation, currently, Anaheim is
promoting the spike of COVID- 191 by failing to provide "safe"' spaces for people living face-to-
face and head -to -foot in shelters located throughout the city.
If the goal of gifting millions ofd llars to, attract tourists is the demented priority, one can only
conclude that the Mayor and other city council members in support are corrupt and unqualified
to represent any of the residents of Anaheim.
