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 the term and conditions of the agreements, as long as such changes are determined to be de minimus by the City Attorney (ABS Consulting, Inc.; B&J HBK, Inc. dba Brandow & Johnston; DH Green Energy, Inc.; Englekirk Structural Engineers; Facility Dynamics Engineering; Green Choice Design Group, Inc.; HKA Elevator Consulting, Inc.; IDS Group; IMEG Corp; Linwood Engineering Associates; LPA, Inc.; MWE Engineering, Inc. dba Michael Wall Engineering; P2S, Inc.; Salas O'Brien; SVA Architects; and System WorCx), seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —7 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Moreno, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES —0. Motion carried. 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 Page 7 of 16 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 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, seconded by Mayor Sidhu. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Moreno, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES — 0. Motion carried. City Council Minutes of April 7, 2020 Page 9 of 16 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 carried. City Council Minutes of April 7,2020 Page 15 of 16 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. City Council Minutes of April 7, 2020 Page 16 of 16 Mayor Sidhu offered his thoughts and prayers to everyone during Holy Week, Passover, Easter, and the upcoming Ramadan. He encouraged all to stay spiritually connected while physically separate during this challenging time. ADJOURNMENT: At 8:12 P.M., Mayor Sidhu adjourned the April 7, 2020 meeting in memory of Klete Ikemoto and William Daly. Res ully submitted, eres Bass, CMC City Clerk APPENDD( Jennifer L.

City of Anaheim withholding police criminal killings info. Anaheim City Council Closed Session Comments, April 7, 2020, VIA EMAIL TO: mbliccomment u:anaheim.net FROM: Home Owners Maintaining our Environment 4fw 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. item # Distributed to majority of City Council within Jennifer L.

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.

Robert Fabela; John Woodhead, Ted White: Nicholas J. Taylor, Public Comment Subject: Item #17 Council Agenda April 7th -request for rehearing 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. Thanks, Moses Johnson Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail for Whone On Sunday, March ii. 2020.. 10:05 PM_ Moses Johnson wrote: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

From the outset TCA failed to draft a realistic business plan to understand the wants and financial means of its target market to budget responsibly to manage its internal conflicts to live up to its founding mission. Its Board Members have consistently failed to behave like fiscally responsible civic leaders to tell the truth to Orange County taxpayers. Through orchestrated mission creep TCA has morphed over the years. It's one success has been as cash cow for the OCGOP through direct contributions from its myriad vendors, consultants, and contractors. When the spotlight finally shines on TCA and its board members own up to this boondoggle the blemish on Orange County's reputation will rival that of our infamous bankruptcy, our county equivalent to High Speed Rail.

From: Michelle Schumacher Sent: Monday, April fly, 202011:15 PM To: Michelle Schumacher Subject: Public Comments for City Council Meeting 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.

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.

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 San Clemente Ca 92672 Public Comment From: Kenneth Batiste Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2020 2:59 PM To: Public Comment Subject: april 7 comments 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. item # Distributed to majority of City Council within Public Comment 72 hours of ' V'\ a mee inn.

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 Item # , _ .
