DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Public Works Director Rudy Emami
explained the on-call contract process and noted it was simply an extension of staff to bring in
expertise that cannot be provided by staff. He clarified it was up to $1,000,000 per year per
consultant but comes through the annual budget process. He also explained it allows the City to go
out and bid the work order packages to obtain competitive bids from multiple consultants.
Mr. Emami explained the total value of the contracts far exceed the budget amount to attract
competition but the budget authority is based on the amount approved by the City Council.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Emami advised this was an opportunity for
contractors to bid under the umbrella of competition and, if awarded the work, the City would award
them the work based on an approved budget. He further explained if there was a need to spend
more funding than was allocated, it would need to be brought back to the City Council for approval.
MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to approve Professional Services Agreements with 16
consultants, each in an amount not to exceed $100,000 per Work Order Package and a total contract
amount not to exceed $1,000,000 per contract year per consultant, for on-call professional
engineering services to support the Convention, Sports & Entertainment Department for a two year
term with two two-year renewal options; authorize the Executive Director of the Convention, Sports &
Entertainment Department to execute the agreements and take the necessary actions to implement
and administer the agreements; and authorize de minimus changes that do not substantially change

AGR- 16. Approve agreements with the Magnolia School District for the Lease of Real Property at Dr.
2417.A; Peter Marshall Elementary School Park and Mattie Lou Maxwell Elementary School Park for
park purposes, each for a five year term with four additional five-year renewal options; and
AGR- authorize the Director of Community Services, or designee, to execute the agreements and
2418.A any related documents, and take the necessary actions to implement and administer the
agreements.
Community Services Director Larry Pasco reported the item is the approval of two agreements with
the Magnolia School District for the lease of land for park purposes at both Peter Marshall and
Maxwell Elementary schools. He advised the agreements with the Magnolia School District began in
1958 and have had two subsequent 25-year terms, concluding in 2009. He advised there was a
recent reduction of land from 4.81 acres to 4.24 acres due to an expansion of the school campus at
Peter Marshall Elementary School.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Barnes thanked Mr. Pasco for processing the agreement. She
displayed a photo that displayed turf damage and expressed concern it may have been done by
groundskeeping staff. She also expressed concern the irrigation was also not being maintained.
City Council Minutes of April 7,2020

Mr. Pasco clarified the area in the photograph was part of the school district land lease. He advised
they access the rear of the school property, which is not accessible to the public, by driving onto the
southern portion of the park and then leading off into the turf area and driving into the school area
with their mowers and their vehicles. He advised the City continues to have an ongoing discussion
regarding alternate methods or routes to access the maintenance area.
Mr. Pasco reported he would reach out to Superintendent Frank Donovan to explain the frustration
and to work together to develop alternate means for school district personnel to get their vehicles into
the maintenance area.
Council Member Barnes expressed concern the school expansion had a direct impact on youth
sports fields when alternative plans could be more effective. She encouraged the City to work
collaboratively with the school district to get ahead of any expansions in the future for property
planning and less impact on Anaheim's youth.
Mr. Pasco advised the City has a good working relationship with the school district and they worked
together to change proposed plans for the fence line. He noted, in this particular instance, there
really was no other alternative with the fence line due to funding. He did not feel anything needed to
be added to the contract due to the good working relationship.
Council Member Barnes advocated for excellent maintenance conditions in the parks.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Pasco advised any complaint or suggestion is
assigned to a Park Superintendent for review and resolution. He also reported residents can call
(714) 765-5155 to report a complaint or suggestion in addition to calling 311.
MOTION: Council Member Barnes moved to approve agreements with the Magnolia School District
for the Lease of Real Property at Dr. Peter Marshall Elementary School Park and Mattie Lou Maxwell
Elementary School Park for park purposes, each for a five year term with four additional five-year
renewal options; and authorize the Director of Community Services, or designee, to execute the
agreements and any related documents, and take the necessary actions to implement and administer
the agreements, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Sidhu
and Council Members Barnes, Brandman, Moreno, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES — 0. Motion carried.
D175 18. RESOLUTION NO. 2020-033 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM adopting the FY 2020-21 Project List for the Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017.
Authorize the Director of Public Works to submit the FY 2020-21 Project List for the Road
Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 to the California Transportation Commission for
eligibility to receive Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds in an estimated
amount of$6,484,839.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Faessel thanked Public Works staff for being very fair about equal
distribution of activities across the City and to District 5. He also suggested to staff that local hiring
practices be used when possible and under Senate Bill 1 (SB-1).
Council Member Moreno thanked staff and reminded the public the funding was coming directly from
SB-1, also known as the Gas Tax, to re-pave Anaheim's streets.
City Council Minutes of April 7, 2020
Page 8 of 16
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, City Manager Chris Zapata advised there has been
increased funding for Anaheim streets and sidewalks and advised the Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) helps determine how to balance and spend those resources.
Public Works Director Rudy Emami advised the City manages the paving plans for the City through a
citywide Paving Master Plan which uses scientific data and formulas to look at the conditions of all
City streets and is updated every two years for arterials and every four years for neighborhoods to
help develop paving plans to maximize the available funding. He reported staff looks for
opportunities for grant funding and to combine paving work with other City projects.
Mr. Emami advised staff was always looking outward in scheduling and planning to ensure the City
was spending the money in the right places. He advised all of that information goes into the
privatization formulas in developing the CIP.
Council Member Moreno noted there were many neighborhoods in Anaheim that have not been re-
paved in a long time, citing the previous reference of the Acacia and Torrey neighborhoods by Mayor
Pro Tem Faessel. He noted District 3 has had several pipes burst in the past years.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Emami advised there are approximately 20
infrastructure projects in District 3 that are either paving projects, neighborhood projects, or sewer
projects and the paving will follow those projects.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Emami agreed if a telecommunications
company digs up the street it does in fact impact the lifespan of the paving. He advised they
coordinate work five years in advance and notify utility companies accordingly. He also reported if
the telecommunications companies do their work within three years of the street being re-paved, they
are required to re-pave the entire street. He advised there currently is not a fee imposed but are
working towards developing a potential trench cut fee which would impose the fee on utility and
communication companies who do not have a franchise with the City.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Emami advised local hiring depends on
funding. He explained that according to the Community Workforce Agreement(CWA), if grant
funding disallows local hiring provisions and contracts, they cannot be considered for the project. He
noted Anaheim Tourism Improvement District (ATID)funding was used and was subject to local hire
per the CWA. He also noted many of the local companies have local employees.
Council Member Moreno suggested future projects on the City Council agenda be noted with a non-
CWA or restricted funds notation.
Council Member O'Neil reminded the public the CWA was not approved unanimously by the City
Council as he voted no on the item.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Faessel moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2020-033 A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adopting the FY 2020-21
Project List for the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 and authorize the Director of Public

D116 21. Update on the City's response to COVID-19
Mayor Sidhu introduced the item and thanked first responders and City staff for their hard work and
dedication. He thanked grocery and restaurant workers who have continued to work so Anaheim
residents have access to food and other essential goods. He thanked the school districts for
providing meals to Anaheim's students and thanked teachers for doing their best to continue
educating students.
Mayor Sidhu thanked Anaheim seniors as they stay connected with family and friends, Anaheim
students who are missing attending school and playing sports, and high school seniors who may not
experience a traditional high school graduation for their sacrifice.
Mayor Sidhu thanked Anaheim residents for supporting Anaheim restaurants and thanked them for
staying home. He encouraged residents to continue to stay home and noted help is on the way from
Federal, State, and City resources to help Anaheim residents get through this crisis. He encouraged
Anaheim residents to practice social distancing.
City Manager Chris Zapata thanked community residents, businesses, and the City workforce for their
perseverance during this extremely challenging time. He thanked Incident Commander Fire Chief
Patrick Russell for leading the Emergency Operations Center(EOC)which is comprised of all City
departments.
Mr. Zapata reported the City has been working on the COVID-19 response to carry out the immediate
priorities of public health and safety and recovery and to develop long-term strategic priorities for City
Council consideration. He advised the City continues to work with Federal, State, and County
governments, healthcare, nonprofits, faith-based institutions, business, and education partners. He
reported the EOC is overseeing the work being done and coordinates daily with City departments and
regional stakeholders.
Mr. Zapata reported the Mayor and City Council have met to provide policy and strategic direction
and mitigate a number of COVID-19 response needs. He reported a $2,000,000 contract with
Anaheim Community Foundation was executed on April 3 and a $6,500,000 contract with Visit
Anaheim was executed on April 7.
Mr. Zapata reported the City is in the process of working to design and implement programs to
provide more homeless assistance, workforce continuity, rent and housing assistance, and local
business assistance within the parameters of the Anaheim Recovery Plan. He reported over the next
weeks and months it was important the City parallels the health and economic recovery strategies
with mid-term steps to identify revenue lost from the General Fund, Utility Fund, and Convention
Center Enterprise Fund. He noted these funds include Hotel Tax Revenue, Sales Tax Revenue,
Utility Fund Revenue, and Convention Center Revenue.
Mr. Zapata reported the City was tracking and monitoring potential cost increases to its CaIPERS
obligation, which would be harmful to the City's budget, as well as monitoring the State of California
for a potential sales tax deferment to small businesses for the next 12 months and the impact it may
have on Anaheim's budget. He advised the revenue drops and potential obligations will have an
impact on the City's ability to pay debt and a potential impact on the City's financial rating.
Mr. Zapata reported internal discussions have begun related to the redeployment of the City's
workforce into areas of need and impacts to City services due to COVID-19. He noted City staff will
City Council Minutes of April 7, 2020
Page 10 of 16
begin providing City Council a comprehensive picture of available resources across all funds. He also
noted the City was exploring opportunities to create new revenue from existing assets.
Mr. Zapata reported the City continues to monitor federal and state action regarding the CARES Act
and continues to look at the future of City services.
Mr. Zapata reported he authorized $180,000 to significantly increase the hygiene and cleanliness of
the Anaheim Police fleet. He also reported there was an Emergency Order that allowed alcohol
delivery from Anaheim restaurants. He advised an additional Emergency Order for City Council
review that involved the use of the Salvation Army 49 bed center and the Salvation Army Thrift Store
on Anaheim Boulevard to help navigate the crisis.
Fire Chief Pat Russell provided a brief overview of operations and reported the EOC was currently
operating at Level 2 with a combination of approximately 10 daily staffed individuals and an additional
10 staff teleconferencing to assist. He advised the City was working with the California Governor's
Office of Emergency Services (CaIOES) and was working with various Orange County partners,
including Orange County Health, to monitor any changing policies.
Chief Russell reported Anaheim Fire and Police were fully staffed and continue to provide daily
service without interruption. He reported Anaheim Fire & Rescue has looked at different contingency
plans to implement, if necessary, to continue to provide the current level of service. He noted a
paramedic squad normally assigned to EMS runs to Disneyland has been turned into a flu-response
vehicle and works with MetroNet to minimize first responder exposure. He also reported Human
Resources Director Linda Andal has been assisting with a contract to bring back the City's Nurse
Practitioner.
Chief Russell reported firefighters will be helping on Saturdays with the Second Harvest Food Bank
food drive as well as other ancillary tasks the community may need. He advised the Anaheim Police
Department was fully functional and does not have any COVID-19 diagnosed employees at this time.
Chief Russell reported an education video featuring Anaheim Fire and Rescue's EMS Manager
Captain Dave Barry and Medical Director Dr. Robert Katzer is available to share with Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ)on the COVID-19 response and Personal Protective Equipment(PPE).
Chief Russell reported the EOC was leading the procurement effort for the entire City for PPE, hand
sanitizer, and other necessary items. He reported the EOC continues to work with food distribution
partners to provide meals and noted an additional food distribution center has been located at the
Anaheim Youth Center, which should be in place by April 15, with target audiences being residents,
seniors, and motel families.
Chief Russell reported facial barriers have been procured for all City employees and will be
distributed this week. He reported staff has procured trailers and the use of a hotel to place high-risk
exposure residents. He advised a Captain Paramedic is meeting with hospitals, skilled nursing
facilities, and homeless shelters daily to assess their needs. He also reported they are providing
social distancing education to grocery and big box stores that remain open.
Chief Russell reported an entire team is dedicated to tracking the City's costs for reimbursement from
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the State of California.
Chief Communications Officer Michael Lyster provided a brief overview of the City's COVID-19
response. He reported, as of today, Anaheim has 95 of Orange County's 931 cases and reported
City Council Minutes of April 7, 2020
Page 11 of 16
Anaheim has seen a steady increase following the county trend. He advised countywide, Anaheim
has 10% of the cases and is tracking as expected for a city of Anaheim's size. He reported, to date,
the Orange County Health Care Agency and private labs have conducted 11,307 tests with the
county's 931 confirmed cases representing an 8% positive rate, which means 92% of tests have
come back negative. He noted there is no location provided for each positive case due to privacy
laws.
Mr. Lyster reported the City has gender and age information countywide but does not have that
information specifically for Anaheim, information on ethnicity, where the patient contracted COVID-19,
if the cases are active or recovered, or death totals. He noted there have been 15 COVID-19 related
deaths in Orange County. He hoped to hear from Federal, State, and Local officials pointing to a peak
in cases in the next few weeks. He extended Anaheim's heartfelt thoughts to anyone who has been
touched by COVID-19. He thanked Anaheim residents for doing their part and for the sacrifices they
were making.
Mr. Lyster reported Orange County's 25 emergency room hospitals were fully operational, including
Anaheim's four Emergency Room (ER) hospitals. He reported 17 of the county's ER hospitals have
surge tents at the ready. He noted Orange County hospitals are at 57% of their capacity, with
hospitalization rates for COVID-19 patients averaging about 15%.
Mr. Lyster reported 39 trailers were received from the State of California, with 28 going to the
Salvation Army Shelter site, five going to the hotel the City has contracted with as part of COVID-19
readiness, four going to the Anaheim Convention Center, and two going to the La Mesa Emergency
Shelter. He reported the City expects to have the Salvation Army Thrift Store on Anaheim Boulevard
up and running as a temporary shelter for 49 women. He noted the interim homeless operations are
being supported by $1,400,000 in state funding received by Anaheim and some related support costs
are eligible for FEMA reimbursement.
Mr. Lyster reported the two Anaheim Emergency Shelter staff members recovering from COVID-19
continue to progress and were in good spirits. He noted 34 tests were conducted on residents at the
shelter who all had some immediate contact with the staff members; they have all come back
negative. He advised shelter staff continues to monitor for signs and symptoms with daily
temperature checks and other precautions.
Mr. Lyster reported the Anaheim Police Department has three Crime Analysts and Detail Sergeants
watching for trends or increases in public crime and reported no increases. He advised dispatchers
are handling calls on public gatherings and work with Park Rangers to resolve issues first, before
dispatching officers. He encouraged Anaheim residents to be on the lookout for potential scams,
especially regarding COVID-19 testing supplies.
Mr. Lyster reported Anaheim parks remain open in a limited capacity with courts, fields, playgrounds,
picnic shelters, skate parks, dog parks, and some parking areas remaining closed. He encouraged
Anaheim residents to celebrate Easter but to worship at home and connect online.
Mr. Lyster advised Code Enforcement has been responding to calls regarding open non-essential
businesses and noted 15 Notices of Violation were issued to Anaheim businesses. He reported
Anaheim Public Utilities continues to support the community and has suspended shutoffs of water
and electricity for anyone experiencing financial hardship.
City Council Minutes of April 7,2020
Page 12 of 16
Mr. Lyster reported communication to the community continues and major updates and videos are
provided in both English and Spanish. He noted a series of videos and social media posts depicting
City services in motion as a reminder to residents the City is still serving them.
Deputy City Manager Greg Garcia reported the City is doing everything it can to ensure
reimbursement for COVID-19 related expenses. He advised staff is closely tracking the Federal
stimulus bills and the CARES Act. He noted $15 billion could be available for the State of California
for the state and local governments with $6.9 billion going to cities and counties with a population of
500,000 or more. He reported City staff is working with legislators and representatives to ensure
there is a clear and fair process developed so Anaheim can apply for some of those much-needed
funds.
Mr. Garcia reported there is talk about a fourth stimulus package at the federal level and City staff is
working with organizations, groups, and other cities to make sure those cities below the population
threshold of 500,000 have an opportunity to receive direct federal funding from the stimulus package.
Mr. Garcia reported the City has been provided formula allocations for some of the City's existing
programs, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)and the Emergency Solutions
Grant(ESG) Program, totaling just under $4,000,000, which will be allocated appropriately to
programs the City is developing. Additionally, the State of California has already allocated
$1,300,000 from the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) for homeless support related to the
COVID-19 crisis.
Mr. Lyster presented a video showing the City's partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of
Orange County.
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member O'Neil's inquiry, Mr. Lyster explained there is a
number residents can call to question if a business is essential. He advised Code Enforcement uses
this as an opportunity to educate residents on essential versus non-essential businesses and also
completes an investigation.
In response to Council Member O'Neil's inquiry, Community Preservation & Licensing Manager
Sandra Sagert reported the 15 Notices of Violation were issued to those businesses that were
confirmed should not have been operating per the Emergency Order. She reported some of the
businesses were bars and hookah bars. She noted the Notice of Violation does not include a fine, but
a Misdemeanor Violation can be issued if necessary. She advised most businesses have closed
voluntarily but staff needs to follow up on a few of the noticed businesses.
In response to Council Member O'Neil's inquiry, Ms. Sagert advised the City is following the
Governor's order to determine essential versus non-essential businesses and seeking legal advice
when necessary. She advised the City has not run into a situation where a business is challenging
the order, but if a challenge occurred, they would work with the City Attorney to make the
determination.
Mayor Pro Tern Faessel thanked Chief Russell, Mr. Garcia, Mr. Lyster, and Community Services
Director Larry Pasco for their participation in the Inaugural Anaheim Tele-Town Hall for District 5 and
thanked them for answering residents' questions.
In response to Council Member Kring's inquiry, Ms. Sagert reported the Salvation Army site is for
adult females only and other shelters will be utilized for any adult females with children or pets.
City Council Minutes of April 7, 2020
Page 13 of 16
In response to Council Member Kring's inquiry, Ms. Sagert clarified food trucks can operate under the
Governor's orders. She also advised the Governor's orders are very clear for bars and full-service
restaurants.
Council Member Kring expressed her concern regarding elective surgeries and inquired if a hospital
can be allocated to non-COVID-19 operations.
Mr. Zapata reported the City allowed the delivery of alcohol to try to help businesses survive the
pandemic. Chief Russell reported all the hospitals are regulated by Orange County Health and the
Governor's order requires elective surgery to be postponed to mitigate exposure to the virus. Council
Member Kring reported many doctors and nurses were being furloughed due to a lack of elective
surgeries. Mayor Sidhu requested the City Manager investigate the issue with the City's lobbyists.
Council Member Moreno requested to have a Council-wide discussion about the issue instead of
working with the lobbyists to work with the Governor.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Lyster reported enough testing has been
completed to give the City a fairly good representative sample. Chief Russell advised residents have
to be symptomatic to be tested. He advised the best practice is if a person begins to feel sick, they
should self-quarantine until they feel better and seek medical attention if they begin to deteriorate.
He advised this will help keep people from inundating the hospitals. He also reported the three labs
in Orange County that are processing tests are backlogged. Council Member Moreno noted the
numbers seem low but he was unsure if it was due to testing or social distancing.
Council Member Moreno requested staff provide analysis of the Federal Stimulus Bill and its impact
on residents, local businesses, and visitors in the next report to City Council.
Council Member Moreno requested a memo of the criteria that will be used by the Anaheim
Community Foundation (ACF) to distribute the $2,000,000. In response to Council Member Moreno's
inquiry, Mr. Zapata advised staff was working on a report that will detail where the money is going
and how needs are identified.
Council Member Moreno requested the $6,500,000 contract for Visit Anaheim, the $2,000,000
contract for ACF, and any future COVID-19 related contracts be made available publically on the
City's website. He noted the Anaheim Recovery Plan with Visit Anaheim is "up to" $6,500,000 which
means the total amount does not need to be spent at once and encouraged staff to be frugal with
funding. Mr. Zapata clarified the contract designates equal monthly payments and does not include
an "up to" amount. City Attorney Robert Fabela advised the approved item authorized the City
Manager to draw $6,500,000 from Convention Center Reserves and directs the City Manager to grant
those funds to Visit Anaheim with three equal payments in April, May, and June with the goal of
marketing hotel stays, meetings, and conventions in Anaheim.
Council Member Moreno suggested staff start thinking about increasing the Rental Assistance Fund
and other housing funds for those impacted by COVID-19.
Council Member Barnes thanked staff for their remarkable work in response to the COVID-19 crisis.
In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Chief Russell reported the City has a Master
Agreement with a local hotel that will house any first responders for quarantine or housing purposes if
they cannot self-quarantine.
City Council Minutes of April 7, 2020
Page 14 of 16
In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Lyster reported they disseminate information
from the Los Angeles Times, the Orange County Register, and City News Service daily but those
entities determine what to print in their own newspapers.
In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Lyster advised full-page ads were placed by
Anaheim First, not by the City. He advised the City relies on the Anaheim magazine, newsletter,
social media, the City's relationships with the media, as well as videos that staff produces, to
disseminate information. Council Member Barnes suggested the City take out a one-page ad in the
local newspapers to disseminate information.
In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Zapata acknowledged the City has a large and
diverse community and the City is always working to improve its communication. He reported staff
will work on responding to email inquiries in a timely manner.
Mayor Sidhu sympathized with the social, financial, and mental difficulties and harm caused by the
stay at home orders but encouraged residents and businesses to consider the far worse alternatives.
He assured residents and local businesses that everyone was in this together.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry regarding the staff report from the special meeting,
Mayor Sidhu clarified the language read by staff was exactly as it was stated in his motion regarding
the allocation of funds.
Council Member Moreno expressed gratitude for the kindness being exhibited by residents, small
businesses, and parents who were volunteering to distribute 11,000 meals a day to students in
Anaheim school districts. He thanked Caterina's Club for feeding thousands of children daily.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Zapata reported City staff was being monitored
for fatigue and the City was looking to leverage Employee Assistance Programs to make sure staff
was supported during the crisis.
Council Member Moreno reported he has spoken to many businesses and noted they are mainly
concerned about their employees' well-being. He reported the Angels, Anaheim Ducks, and
Disneyland will continue to provide healthcare for their employees. Council Member Moreno reported
he requested the City Manager and the school districts get together and place their meal distribution
services on Anaheim Community Television Channel 3. He also requested City staff work with the
school districts to provide messaging to Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, and other non-English
speaking communities about City services available to them. He thanked Mr. Zapata for organizing a
conference call with the school districts.
Council Member Barnes thanked City staff for their efforts. She thanked all the workers who have
been providing seniors meals through Meals on Wheels. She would like to see more funding
provided to the local food banks and encouraged them to contact the City if they need assistance.
She thanked Mayor Sidhu for moving assistance forward.
REPORT ON CLOSED SESSION ACTIONS:
City Attorney Robert Fabela reported for Closed Session Item No. 03, City Council authorized an
appeal. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —4 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Barnes, Kring, and
O'Neil); NOES— 3 (Mayor Pro Tern Faessel and Council Members Brandman and Moreno). Motion

PUBLIC COMMENTS (non-agenda items): — See Appendix.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS/AGENDA REQUESTS:
Council Member Moreno requested an agenda item to discuss the process for public comments
during teleconference meetings, concurred by Council Member Barnes (request failed for lack of a
second concurrence). He requested the City Manager post signed contracts with Anaheim
Community Foundation and Visit Anaheim on the City's webpage in addition to the criteria developed
for the distribution of community support. He asked the Mayor to make meetings of the Economic
Recovery Task Force available to the public for input, post a schedule of meetings, and make the
minutes of such meetings public. He thanked his colleagues for being in the community and
supporting residents.
Council Member Brandman wished all residents who celebrate a happy Holy Week and good
Passover.
Council Member Barnes shared an email she received from the McDonalds government relations
manager and announced health care workers, police officers, and firefighters with valid ID or in
uniform could get a free coffee and Egg McMuffin sandwich during breakfast hours. She encouraged
everyone to give blood as much as they are able. She thanked Meals on Wheels O.C. for providing
meals, asked that funds be provided to them, and encouraged Anaheim to take the lead to help get
families through this time. She wished everyone a Happy Easter.
Council Member Kring reported she volunteered at Renewable Farms and announced another
volunteer Wednesday, April 8 at 10:00 A.M. For additional volunteer opportunities, she referred
residents to One O.C. at www.oneoc.orq and she referred businesses to www.anaheimchamber.orq
for ways to help their businesses and employees. She encouraged residents to visit
www.anaheim.net/coronavirus for current news and links to resources. She thanked veterinarians for
continuing to provide services to pets, wished everyone a Happy Passover and Easter, and
encouraged all to be safe and take care of their families.
Council Member O'Neil requested to adjourn the meeting in memory of District 6 resident Klete
Ikemoto, who passed away due to Coronavirus and offered sympathies to his family.
Mayor Pro Tern Faessel requested the meeting also adjourn in memory of William "Bill" Daly, the
father of former Mayor Tom Daly. He congratulated Anaheim Glass for 75 years in business and the
Community Services team for supporting seniors with food and paper goods. He recognized Second
Harvest Food Bank for their food distribution events, noted his participation on two Saturdays, and
thanked Mayor Sidhu for his consideration of sponsoring the next event. He reported speaking with
Anaheim Elementary School District Superintendent Christopher Downing and Anaheim YMCA
President Rick Martens about delivering meals into neighborhoods for students and connecting them
with Anaheim Resort Transportation to provide buses for that purpose. He anticipated the Anaheim
Community Foundation would start making grants within the next several days, following a vote last
Friday and pursuant to a contract with the City. He acknowledged the 125th Anniversary of Anaheim
Public Utilities and thanked local restaurants for supporting local essential workers with meals. He
thanked East Hardware for procuring distilled water from Arizona which was delivered to the
Emergency Operations Center and thanked all in the community for collecting good to distribute to
those in need and for doing their part to help everyone through the situation. He looked forward to
plans to shop, hire, and buy locally and putting plans in place to get the Resort businesses back
running and employees working to make Anaheim stronger. He wished all a Happy Easter and Happy
Passover and thanked everyone for their work.

Anaheim City Council Closed Session Comments, April 7, 2020,
VIA EMAIL TO: mbliccomment u:anaheim.net

The purpose of Closed Session Comments is to inform the public of serious
matters such as Anaheim Police criminal conduct. It is understood that the
council discussions on such matters are to be secret. However, to keep secret the
incidents of police criminal actions from the public is wrong.
The closed session calendar has five items on it. Four of the items are kept
completely secret from the public. The American Public has the rights to know
the subjects (not the discussions), so they could research the matter and give
constructive comments to the council. That is the American way and is not the
procedure in other countries that have limited transparency for their citizens.
The only closed session item that included basic information was the brutal
murder by Anaheim police officers of an innocent Latino young man, Vincent
Valenzuela. According to the video, without warning, the Latiao, who was
washing his clothes at a Laundromat, was beaten then strangled from an illegal
chokehold by the Anaheim police officers. The courts awarded the deceased
man's family $13.2 million, which the residents of Anaheim must now pay.
It is believed one of the other four closed session items that are kept hidden
from the public was the Caucasian Anaheim police officer killing of a young
Negro man gust before hast Christmas. According to the video, the "uppity"
Negro was standing two feet with his back turned in front of the Caucasian
Anaheim police officer when he was shot four times in the back.
Of interest could be the Freedom of Speech violations by the Anaheim City
Council in censoring Closed Session Public Comments. They are not included in
the official video or audio recordings of the council meeting, in the "action"
minutes of the meeting, or in the meetings' repeated cable Tyr' broadcasts.

Hi my name is Pedro Garcia i am a concerned citizen of Anaheim in district 5. My concern is with the 5.5 million dollars
being used to fund visit Anaheim when it appears we will not be having that area even be open due to this crises. Even
more so it seems completely inappropriate to not have it be closely monitored. With so many of us out of work. What
is the city doing for the unemployed?

Anaheim City Council Comments, April 7, 2020, Agenda Items
VIA EMAIL TO: publiccomment,&anaheim.net
FROM: Home Owners Maintaining our Environment.
The current agenda for this council meeting has been inaccessible on the
internet to the public. The City of Anaheim is now requiring an unavailable
authorization code (see the attached unauthorized 401.2 notice). Past meeting
agendas were available while the current agenda and staff reports were not.
A demand for rehearing on the Anaheim Hills non -conforming Serrano
residential project is to be scheduled at this current meeting agenda. The
developer has threatened an expensive lawsuit to be paid by the residence of
Anaheim (and not council members). Grounds for the lawsuit are serious
misconduct by Council Member Trevor O'Neil and the facts that such
horrible projects have routinely been permitted in Latino areas of Anaheim
(Pauline Street) but not in the white Anaheim Hills areas. The rehearing must
be allowed to prevent the unnecessary legal costs to the City of Anaheim.
In the to be agendaize Virus discussion item, Anaheim City Council
members being led by their Mayor Harish S. Sidue has lowered themselves
again by exploiting the National Virus Emergency. They are preventing
public participation by not allowing verbal comments at their 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. Sidue and his cabal on the city council have
maliciously interpreted the rule to mean only in writing, not telephonic.
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.
Attached to this public comment are three pages of evidential
documents to be handed out to each council member by the City Clerk.

Dear City Clerk,
Please send my email to the Mayor and all Council members.
Also please confirm receipt.
I request that the Council deny the developer's request for rehearing for all the reasons the Council restored the
Neighborhood Center on March 1 Qth.
See my earlier email below.

Dear City Clerk,
Please confirm receipt of this email and send it to the Mayor and all Council members.
I urge the City Council to repeal General Plan Amendment No. 2017-00515 and rescind Resolution No. 2020-012 to
restore the Serrano Center as a Neighborhood Center. Also, to deny the Request for Rehearing filed by the
developer.
The Zoning Reclassification Ordinance was properly rejected by the Council on February 11th. Thank you. But in
order to restore the Serrano Center back to a Neighborhood Center the General Plan also needs to be put back to
where it was to begin with.
The Council heard from many residents in the surrounding neighborhoods regarding all their objections to this
proposed project including evidence that the Serrano Center is a viable commercial center that contains many
children -based businesses including a dance school, swim school, daycare center and martial arts academy that serve
the surrounding neighborhoods. These businesses provides vital after school activities for children including those
from the adjoining Anaheim Hills Elementary School.
The adverse impacts on views, air and light to neighboring properties caused by the 3 story condo buildings which
are incompatible with the surrounding 2 story neighborhoods and inconsistent with the General Plan. The General
Plan discourages development of muti-family developments in existing single-family neighborhoods.
The lot is too small (3 acres) for 54 units when 5 acres are required by the Scenic Corridor_ Further, to allow
buildings to face Serrano Ave. from only 14 feet away from the street is dangerous when a 50 foot setback is
required. A car will end up in someone's living room if this is built.
The project is too dense and all exits onto Nohl Ranch Road are right only forcing those wanting to head back to the
91 Freeway to make a right onto Carnegie Ave, right on Calle Venado and attempt to make a dangerous left tum
onto Scrrano Ave. This is a blind curve and the City recently put up a flashing yellow sign to alert drivers of exiting
vehicles.
Please put an end to this project.
Sincerely,
Moses Johnson

Dear Ms. Bass,
Dear Mayor & City Council Member,
We ask that you impose a moratorium on "small cells" and other wireless infrastructure permits process and
deployment until the COVID-19 emergency is over.
The wireless providers are using the COVID-19 emergency as cover to expand and cement their rapid and
virtually unsupervised deployment of harmful wireless infrastructure. Our local leaders should not have to
dedicate time and resources to policing whether the wireless companies are following local and state law, they
have far more important things to do.
The FCC wireless permit rules allow emergency moratoria, Homeland Security guidelines emphasize that
maintenance of existing communications capability is the priority. New construction is not "essential,"
The COVID-19 emergency has led to a government shut down of non-essential activity. Hospitals, emergency
response and local officials are overwhelmed and they must be allowed to focus on what is indeed "essential".
Now is not the time to be dedicating resources to expanding, rather than just maintaining, our networks.
The FCC has directly held a local jurisdiction can impose a temporary halt to deployment and permits during
emergencies. In the Matter of Accelerating Wireline Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers, FCC 18-
111, 33 FCC Rcd 7705, 7784-7785, 1157 (2018) ("We recognize that there may be limited situations in the case
of a natural disaster or other comparable emergency where an express or de facto moratoria that violates section
253(a) may nonetheless be `necessary' to `protect the public safety and welfare' or to `ensure the continued
quality of telecommunications services."')
Homeland Security has declared that local government is on the forefront and can take control over determining
whether to temporarily halt all non-essential activity. Homeland Security guidance documents prioritize
maintenance of existing Communications Systems, and do not support "essential" status for new construction.

Subiect RE: Stop Deployment of Wireless during Quarantine
Good Morning Ms, Gentil,
Thank you for your email below. Councilmember Barnes and the City Manager have asked me to look into this issue and
respond on their behalf. While we understand your very valid concerns, the state of California has defined the
communications sector as hart of the Essential Jobs in the Governor's executive order on COVID-19. I reviewed the link
to the defined essential jobs and found multiple sections that do include the installation of new communication facilities
as critica I.
The safety of the public and our employees is oar top priority. If the communication companies at their own will choose
to continue worts at this time, we do ensure they perform their work in a safe manner for our community and the city
inspectors that are overseeing the work. We look for proper detours for pedestrians, traffic control, social distancing
and proper use of personal protective equipment.
I think we have all experienced the impact the stay home order has had our wireless communication system. I have
certainly experienced a change in signal quality on my mobile devices with more people at home using wireless
communication to work and stay in touch with 4riends and family. It is vital that we continue to Improve our
communication infrastructure. If you have any ether questions, please give me a call at 714-765-5055.

Subject: TCA - Toll Roads
Good evening City Council
I am writing to you today to ask for your support in reducing a significant tax on all Orange County residents that often times
goes unnoticed. Are you aware that the Transportation Corridor Agency (The "TCA") has taxed OC homeowners to the tune of
$706,334,000.40 million since the Agency was established in 1987. This tax comes in the farm of Development Fees that are
assessed on new residential and commercial properties developed within Orange County.
The TCA was formed in 1987 with the explicit purpose of constructing the 73, 241 and 261 Toll Roads. At the time that the
TCA was established bonds were issued to pay for construction of these new Toll Roads. The promise made by the TCA at the
time was that the debt taken on by the TCA for construction of these new Toll Roads would be paid off through a combination
of Development Fees and Tolls collected on the roads by drivers who use the roads. 100% of the debt was to be paid off within
20 years and the Toll Roads were supposed to become Freeways like the rest of the Interstate Highways within our great State
of California. As it turns out the TCA has horribly mismanaged their role and has squandered these silent taxes paid for by
your constituents. Not only arc the 73, 241 and 261 still Toll Roads and not Freeways, but the TCA is still over $4.7 BILLION
in debt for construction of these roads — years after the roads were supposed to become free. This is a dereliction of duty and a
travesty for Orange County Taxpayers. By the time the bonds are repaid it will cost I 1 Billion dollars - the debt is going in the
WRONG direction.
The TCA recently released a draft a Vision Plan - where they are trying to do other things than just pay down the existing bonds
and get involved outside thier lane. It is time to cut the head of the snake and have teh TCA solely focus on paying down the
bonds, instead of driving up housing and the cost of business in our County with these empty toll roads.
Thankfully, the agency CEO who drive up more debt and refinanced the bonds more than a zero dow home in the inland empire
will be leaving - its time to get this agencies spending in check and have them focus on real mobility which is paying down the
bonds so the congestion free toll roads can be open for all drivers.

Dear City Council Members and Public Comment Record,
In preparation for your Tuesday 7 April meetings I am providing two charts showing an economic analysis of
the Transportation Corridor Agency Toll Roads project. The chart data comes from the 2013 TCA Bond Issue
document (454 pages), the economic analysis considers the life of each bond issue and maturity in that package
from 1995 to 2053. The analysis computes the equivalent annualized amount for every bond, revenue, and
expense recorded in that document both present and projected:.
• Bonds Series 1995, 1999, 2013ABC
• Bond Debt Service
• Developer impact Fees
• Operating Expenses
• Toll Fee Revenue
The first chart shows the total anticipated revenue to cover the actual bond debt service and anticipated
expenses for a! 1 the bonds.

revenues prior to 2013 are a realistic measure of future performance. If you believe the projected revenues
are suspect notwithstanding the C®VID-19 impact and higher toll rates on total toll revenues, if you believe this
bond financing is suspicious, if you believe this public debt will NEVER sunset, then investigate the TCA.

$706,334,000.00 million since the TCA a government Agency was established in 1987. This tax comes in the form of
Development Fees that are assessed on new residential and commercial properties developed or remodeled within Orange
County.
The TCA was formed in 1487 with the explicit purpose of constructing the 73, 241 and 261 Toll Roads. At the time that the
TCA was established bonds were issued to pay for construction of these the Toll Roads. The promise made by the TCA at the
time was that the debt taken on by the TCA for construction of these new Toll Roads would be paid off through a combination
of Development Fees and Tolls collected on the roads by drivers who use the roads. 100% of the debt was to be paid off within
34 years and the Tall Roads were supposed to become Freeways like the rest of the Interstate Highways within our great
State. As it turns out the TCA has horribly mismanaged their role and has squandered these silent taxes paid for by your
constituents. Not only are the 73, 241 and 261 still Toll Roads and not Freeways, but the TCA is still over $4.7 BILLION in
debt for construction of these roads. This is a dereliction of duty and a travesty for Orange County Taxpayers. By the time the
bonds are repaid it will cost 11 Billion dollars - the debt is going in the WRONG direction and will never be paid down or a
major taxpayer bailout required negatively affecting Orange County and the State according to a OC Grand Jury report - the
TCA carries 64% of all JPA debt in the OC.
The TCA recently released a draft a Vision Pian - the TCA is trying to do other non tolled projects and this is serious mission
creep. It is time to have the TCA solely focus on paying down the bonds, instead of driving up housing and the cost of business
in our County with these empty toll roads and really get traffic moving by freeing the toll roads. We have OCTA and CalTrans
there is no need for this redundant wasteful agency. Tax payers deserve better.
The TCA sends Hundreds of Millions of Dollars outside of our state on vendor contracts, if they want Orange County Tax
payers to be able to afford the ever increasing tolls they need to be more mindful and keep the money in California.
Thank you for your time and please do something to stop the hemorrhage to tax payers in our county with these economically
discriminating toll roads.

COVID-19 impact and higher toll rates on total toll revenues, if you believe this bond financing is suspicious, if you
RI
believe this public debt will NEVER sunset, then investigate the TCA.

Good evening City Council
I am writing to you today to ask for your support in reducing a significant tax on all Orange County residents that often times
goes unnoticed. Are you aware that the Transportation Corridor Agency (The "TCA") has taxed OC homeowners to the tune of
$706,334,000.00 million since the TCA a government Agency was established in 1987. This tax comes in the force of
Development Fees that are assessed on new residential and commercial properties developed or remodeled within Orange
County.
The TCA was formed in 1987 with the explicit purpose of constructing the 73, 241 and 261 Toll Roads. At the time that the
TCA was established bonds were issued to pay for construction of these the Toll Roads. The promise made by the TCA at the
time was that the debt taken on by the TCA for construction of these new Toll Roads would be paid off through a combination
of Development Fees and Tolls collected on the roads by drivers who use the roads. 100% of the debt was to be paid off within
30 years and the Toll Roads were supposed to become Freeways like the rest of the Interstate Highways within our great
State. As it turns out the TCA has horribly mismanaged their role and has squandered these silent taxes paid for by your
constituents. Not only are the 73, 241 and 261 still Toll Roads and not Freeways, but the TCA is still over $4.7 BILLION in
debt for construction of these roads. This is a dereliction of duty and a travesty for Orange County'1'axpayers. By the time the
bonds are repaid it will cost 11 Billion dollars - the debt is going in the WRONG direction and will never be paid down or a
major taxpayer bailout required negatively affecting Orange County and the State according to a OC Grand Jury report - the
TCA carries 64% of all JPA debt in the OC.
The TCA recently released a draft a Vision Plan - the TCA is trying to do other non to]led projects and this is serious mission
creep. It is time to have the TCA solely focus on paying down the bonds, instead of driving up housing and the cost of business
in our County with these empty toll roads and really get traffic moving by freeing the toll roads. We have OCTA and CalTrans
there is no need for this redundant wasteful agency. Tax payers deserve better.
The TCA sends Hundreds of Millions of Dollars outside of our state on vendor contracts, if they want Orange County Tax
payers to be able to afford the ever increasing tolls they need to be more mindful and keep the money in California.
Thank you for your time and please do something to stop the hemorrhage to tax payers in our county with these economically
discriminating toll roads.

As we go through this brave new world of rules and restrictions for public safety, I want to complement the staff and services of the
City of Anaheim. Be grateful that we all have police, fire, community service, public utilities and neighborhood services working as
hard as they can. The lights are on, the water is running and the street services are still being kept up beautifully. In my experience,
Anaheim Anytime has been 100% up to their high standards of quickly resolving issues. Our public library has set a platinum standard
for the nation of the creative ways our library still can serve those in need of entertainment and a great book or video. Our hard
working nonprofits like the Anaheim Family YMCA and Boys and Girls Club are ensuring that children are fed through our fabulous
Anaheim Community Foundation and a lot of caring.
Our entire city team is to be commended wholeheartedly. We should not take for granted that what we expect to be normally done
takes an extraordinary amount of commitment to get done during challenging times.

Hello, Good Afternoon
I would like Anaheim City to implement a city wide mandate to wear mask or some type of coverage for nose,
mouth. We know asymptomatic can also spread the virus, I think it would help slow down the spread along with
the measures already placed. I thank you for all the hard work you.

Honorable Mayor Harry Sid hu, Anaheim Council Members and City Staff,
Although 1 no longer live in the city of Anaheim my heart will always be there. I applaud our city leaders and staff for
great leadership and guidance going through what will surely be known as one of the most difficult times in our
country's history.
We are thankful for the swift decisions that you have made to protect the population and ensure that even our most
impacted families in our community will continue to receive services. Although at the present time the Boys & Girls
Clubs are not able to serve children we are currently running grab and go food distributions three days a week. In our
first two weeks we reached 440 families touching close to 2000 individuals delivering precooked meals, canned goods,
nonperishable food items and over 3000 pounds of pasta. We have collaborated with The Raise Foundation, Cate rina's
Club and Influence Church. They have all proviced food and meals to families that need our help now more than ever.
I am happy to inform you that the on July 1, 2020 the Main Clubhouse in Anaheim at Manzanita Park will officially
become an accredited Family Resource Center oringing more organizations together providing greater services in the
92801 and surrounding neighborhoods.
Thank you for keeping our community safe and providing the resources to The Boys & Girls Clubs of Anaheim assuring
we can continue offering high quality programs to our children and their families.
Sincerely,
John Machiaverna

time to abolish TCA - NOW!
Dear Council,
I'm a San Clemente resident.
OC resident for 22 -years.
For 22 -years we've all experienced the ineptitude of TCA. Their swelling indebtedness. Their lies.
Theirfoily, as a so-called transportation -reducer, when in fact, TCA's 51 -miles of toll roads literally brought freeway
congestion to OC, as the venue for accessing open space for south county's master planned development.
More development = More traffic.
Ironically, TCA limits its ridership through Congestion Pricing?
When commuters need traffic relief the most, during peak hours, TCA shuts the door.
What relief?
The 73 toll road has failed financially from pay -1.
This is fact, no matter how TCA cooks their books.
The 241, is less of a failure, only because TCA rejiggered their books, recognizing the 73's financial -success -over -promise
would never happen, so, TCA lowered the financial bar for the 241.
Hence, the 241 became TCA's poster child for success.
Basically, just more scam bookkeeping at TCA.
Today, TGA has given -up on their 2 -decade dream / folly of a 241 -South Extension, from Oso Parkway south, DIRECTLY
through ... San Clemente?
Literally, through the middle of San Clemente.
Down San Clemente's throat.
Does any rational citizen, from any city in OC, or any city, anywhere in the world, think; paving an underperforming toll
road, through the middle of anyone's town, is rational?
No.
It's absurd.
It's abusive.
It's stupid.
Basically, TCA is crazy.
Yet for 2 -decades, TCA has threatened, bullied, panicked, tormented San Clemente's citizenry through TCA's blind, non-
stop arrogance.
TCA should be immediately terminated.
Its Headquarter doors bolted shut, turning TCA's scant remaining services over to OCTA.
There is no reason, for TCA going forward.
None
And I haven't even mentioned TCA's elephant in the room: its out of control, ballooning debt load, to the 10's of Billions
and growing exponentially.
Abolish TCA Now.
End the madness.
Bring sanity back to OC's traffic relief dilemma by Abolishing TCA Now, putting OC traffic solutions into the hands of
experts.
Not TCA,
Abolishing TCA is decades overdue.
Do it now, for the good of OC.
Thank you,
Jerry Collamer

Given honor to God and all of the members of the council that are serving God,
Our world, our nation, are going through very uncertain times where the results are crucial and
uncertain times. We will get through this crisis because we trust in God ,we trust not trusting in our federal or
local government.
Again our city council has shown how there is no limit to the corruption this mayor and his merry people
will commit. This Mayor never missed an opportunity to keep on robbing the residents of Anaheim even in a
time of crisis. So because of this I am giving the mayor the name of "Harry robbing the hood" along with his
band of merry men and "little John " is Faessel, with Kring, O'Neil, and Brandon. They will do whatever this
mayor want or tell them to do, just like when the mayor on a hot mic when they thought it was off telling
Faessel how to vote. That right Council Faessel lost a lot of respect from the people of people who learn about
this telling sign that Faessel is bought and pay for. For the money and not the residents.
They have done it again last week when the Newsome from the state send our taxes money to help
with this corona emergency. Out of 15 million dollars he and his merry men gave another private RESORT
company 6.5 million to hold on to until this corona situation is over.
While the convention center employees go unpay along with the employees of hotels that are part of
the resort community that don't belong to Disney. 6'/ million to a company that fought measure L the living
wage against putting money into employees rands for them and theirs childrens. That in the past i believe
even contribute to the campaigns of some of the present city council.
What was the big HURRY Harry that only after 15 hours you call a emergency meeting to hurry and
wait. That couldn't wait far the regular meeting 5 days later to discuss what should be done and given the
council less. than 1 day to read. Corrupution at it best is quick and fast before people and this company does
nothing really for the residents but the Resort community of Disney that paid 52.4 billion in 2017 for Fox.
Next he will give SOAR 10 million because they are going broke also without normal stream of Disney
money,
Residents pay attention because maybe because we don't pay attention this is happening.
We are going through a world problem and is HOMELESSNESS a world problem and don't you think
when they cry out to God he tell them revenges are mine.
Sports people we trusted that ours people in government where doing the right thing and now we find
they only were pretending to be handling the problem.
The mayor gave 250 thousands to Anaheim first his private non profit of chamber of congress,
Next he gove the chamber of congress 450 thousands dollars.
Next he gave the police union president a 17 % raise paid for by the residents of Anaheim which nearly
cost about 400 thousands and now he giving visit Anaheim 6'/2 million.

Subject: Public Comments for April 7th,2020 Spm
Mayor Sidhu and Council Memebrs,
My name is Annemarie Dandle-Trejo school board trustee for the Anaheim Union High School District.
First and foremost while I am grateful for the opportunity to post remarks to all of you I find it difficult This
method t is unable to lady relay or emote a true essence of the message from constituents.
Communication is always key and while we may not like some remarks from citizens it is their right to address
the council.
I urge you all to allow the public to call in or at the very least have the clerk read the comments. This would add
transparency and allow those listening in to hear and understand public views. Please consider these
alternatives.
It was my understanding at the last council meeting many constituents were very concerned or skeptical of the
6,5 million that was earmarked for advertising. While we are all understanding that sacrifices and hard
decisions have to be made to aide the community. Many do not understand or think it appropriate (including
me) at this time to pay money to advertise. I gave you my remarks for the prior meeting and feel all of those
communications from the prior meeting should be posted as well.. Many people in the community are
struggling and are waiting in line for food. I think you can draw the parallel.
I would also like to say that the efforts of the Anaheim Union High School district to feed our families has been
on going and steadfast. We have some days given out over 11,000 meals per day. We have several sites across
the city and our food service employees are our heroes as well.
I also need to point out the efforts of the ALTHSD . We've been promoting the CENSUS 2020 since Iast year. I
am pleased to hear that the city numbers are promising and would like to acknowledge and thank the hard work
of our AUHSD staff and community partners. If we all work together we can receive the needed dollars and
services for the entire Anaheim community.
Thank you

Thank you so much for your time in helping to relieve our fears during this horrid time., I've just heard on the
radio that 0.C. has just ordered 10,000 masks. .Wil I a percentage of these be allotted for residents who are at
risk, who reside here, otherwise on social security an dissability?? I believe even two a month would be
beneficial for seniors as they could get most of their errands done in those two days they would have their
masks..giving them out at the grocery stores they shop would be a win win situation for both the protection of
the person an the store..if we are to help our medical people than we must keep people healthy..we who cannot
afford shopping on line an delivery, MUST go out, especially if we live alone as I do, whereby the grocery
store ... it's the only place I absolutely have to go to... Please think on this and let me know how this will be
handled so 1 may reassure those around..thank you again for your time an effort on helping this city through
what I believe is it's worst time in history..bless you all Brenda Visconti
