City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 3 of 21 END OF CONSENT CALENDAR: D116 2. Approve the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Annual Reports for the Marketing and Transportation Component Funds. Public Works Director Rudy Emami reported the item is to approve the Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Annual Reports for Marketing and Transportation Component Funds for the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District (ATID). He reported City Council approved the establishment of the ATID for the promotion of local tourism and convention-related programs as well as transportation improvements within the Anaheim Resort and the Platinum Triangle in 2010. He explained ATID runs under the general supervision and oversight of the City and a City Council-approved Management Plan. Mr. Emami reported the Visit Anaheim and Convention Bureau administers the Marketing Component Funds and the Transportation Committee oversees the use of the Transportation Component Funds and each entity prepared the relevant Annual Report. He explained City Council could approve the report as filed or set a public hearing to modify any particular item contained in the report and then approve it as modified. Lastly, he explained a public hearing would require public notice in the same manner as when the ATID was initially formed. Mr. Emami reported 75% of the funds collected from the ATID are dedicated to marketing, promotion, and related activities that work to bolster the City's tourism and convention industry. He reported the 2018/19 Marketing Component Fund Annual Report shows an increase of 0.7% in visitors from 2017 and 24,400,000 visitors in 2018. He reported the U.S. Travel Association's IPW event was held in Anaheim in June and brought 6,200 delegates from over 70 countries. He reported the event has been shown to have a positive future economic impact on host cities. He reported total revenue for Fiscal Year 18/19 was $19,400,000 along with total expenditures of$16,800,000 leaving $2,600,000 in excess revenue. Mr. Emami reported the remaining 25% of the funds are dedicated to transportation improvements and advised there were 13 active transportation projects. He reported the 2018/19 total revenues were approximately $5,300,000 with total expenditures of approximately $210,000. DISCUSSION: Council Member O'Neil was pleased to see year-over-year growth and to see the City's investment in Visit Anaheim being put to good work. He thanked staff for their work. MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Annual Reports for the Marketing and Transportation Component Funds, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Faessel. DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Pro Tern Faessel's inquiry, Mr. Emami confirmed the revenue comes from the ATID as a self-assessed tax that participants pay into and does not come from the General Fund. Council Member Kring expressed her support for the item. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Anaheim Convention Center Deputy Director Joaquin Quesada explained the drop-off in the chart was for future booked events and events were still being booked in and for future years. Interim City Manager Greg Garcia further explained in the 2019 Pace Graph, the red lines show booked shows, the blue lines show tentatively book shows, and the dotted line that goes down indicates what the market says should be on pace. He added the graph shows the marketing organization was well on pace to book shows out to 2027/2028 and beyond. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 4 of 21 In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Garcia explained the chart depicted as FY 2020 depicted a dotted line that represented the pace of shows booked, and traditionally the Resort is down certain months and bookings are seasonal. He noted the bookings still track fairly close and sometimes exceeded the pacing line. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Emami confirmed the Mayor's Transit Task Force has met four times to evaluate the separate transportation technologies. He also advised there have been larger meetings with stakeholders from the Anaheim Resort and the Platinum Triangle. He reported the task force consists of representatives from Public Works, Convention Center, and includes sub-committees from businesses such as Disney hoteliers, the Angels, and Anaheim Ducks. He further explained the $350,000 was mainly to cover staff time in assessing separate technologies as well as to pay for a consultant. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Emami agreed to provide a summary of the Transit Task Force meetings but noted a formal report was not prepared. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry regarding the Statement of Income and Expense, Mr. Garcia explained Enterprise Anaheim LLC was an effort by Visit Anaheim to own and operate their own events to fill the void of some events that were lost, such as the quarterly half marathons that were occurring, and unfortunately, they were reporting a loss on events they tried to unsuccessfully put together. He further explained the City works with Visit Anaheim on all of their activities and is aware of their efforts. Council Member Barnes requested an additional report on the activities and accounting of Enterprise Anaheim LLC due to its operation at a loss. She expressed concern that Enterprise Anaheim LLC listed the address of the Convention Center as its own address. Mr. Emami clarified Visit Anaheim used to operate at the Convention Center until they moved to their new address on State College Blvd., which is why it was listed as the business address. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Garcia reported he would work with Visit Anaheim and provide answers to the questions posed by Council Member Barnes but she was also free to pursue a public hearing if desired. Mayor Sidhu recommended City Council members meet with the City Manager ahead of the City Council meeting to ask any clarifying questions. Council Member Barnes stated the current needs of COVID-19 and the Emergency Operations Center took precedence over the past few days rather than questioning this item. Council Member Moreno suggested Jay Burress, CEO of Visit Anaheim, should have been present at the City Council meeting for public discussion. Council Member Moreno commended staff for their work during this time. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Emami agreed to provide historical data regarding revenues, expenditures, and surplus amounts since the inception of Visit Anaheim in 2010 for the marketing component. Mr. Emami further explained the expenditures of the excess revenue are decided by the Visit Anaheim Board of Directors In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Quesada explained a minimum of$1,000,000 needs to be left over each year and is used for negotiating future events in Anaheim. Additionally, he agreed to provide information on where the remaining $1,600,000 is being held. Council Member Moreno requested a historical accounting of reserve funds since the City recently provided Visit Anaheim with $6,500,000. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 5 of 21 In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Garcia explained Enterprise Anaheim LLC is separately funded and is not funded by the City. Council Member Moreno requested the report be clarified so it is understood the City has no responsibility for the loss in revenue along with any associated debt, as it is a separate entity. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Garcia explained the $500,000 line item for the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is a separate agreement between them and Visit Anaheim but he believes it is tied to a percentage of the annual ATID funding. He agreed to seek additional information regarding that line item from Visit Anaheim. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry regarding the allocation of funding for marketing, Mr. Garcia advised the City is anticipating a report back from Visit Anaheim regarding the $6,500,000 funding and where it has been allocated. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mayor Sidhu referred to the Interim City Manager to provide information regarding Visit Anaheim. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Quesada confirmed there were more events booked in March 2020 than March 2019. Council Member Moreno explained the graph seems to be misleading. Mr. Quesada reported the graph depicts 2019 actual numbers and 2020 reflects estimated numbers based on booked events. He also clarified April 2020 was already expected to be below pace and May was expected to be above pace. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Garcia clarified the Anaheim Ducks and Angels are not part of the ATID Transportation Committee but they are stakeholders in the Mayor's Transit Task Force. He further clarified the City did receive backfill funding from the ATID funds for a handful of years but that funding did end. He explained the $350,000 was requested by City staff to help pay for City staff time to study the project and transportation options. Mr. Emami added the ATID supported ARTIC land payments and operational support over five years for a total of$9,000,000. He explained the City requested that funding until the ARTIC could operate on its own, with a plan for operating revenue, naming rights, and billboard rentals. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Garcia reported Visit Anaheim did not provide a report that included the number of employees, their roles, and their compensation. Neither Mr. Garcia nor Mr. Quesada could provide details regarding a Conflict of Interest Policy for Visit Anaheim. Council Member Moreno requested that information be provided to City Council. Mayor Sidhu expressed his support for the work of Visit Anaheim, noted the current report covered a time-period that ended nearly a year ago, and believed they were on pace for a record 2019/2020 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, City Attorney Robert Fabela reported he did not investigate if it was legal for the ATID to be used to backfill losses for sponsorship and events that appear to be related to a separate LLC, but reported he could work with Council Member Barnes in this regard. MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Annual Reports for the Marketing and Transportation Component Funds, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —6 (Mayor Sidhu and Council City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 6 of 21 Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES —0; ABSTAIN -1 (Council Member Moreno). Motion carried. D182 3. Approve the 2020 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (Plan) and authorize the Public Utilities General Manager, or designees, to take all actions necessary, required, or advisable to implement, administer, and submit the Plan to the appropriate regulatory agencies. Anaheim Public Utilities General Manager Dukku Lee reported an update of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan was completed at the request of Council Member Brandman and focused on the utility power supply portfolio and key sustainability initiatives for both water and electric system. Mr. Lee provided a brief background on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and explained they are gasses that have been identified by the Environmental Protection Agency and trap heat in the atmosphere. He explained the goal of the plan is to identify how to reduce both gases and comply with the legislative and regulatory mandates, such as Senate Bill 100, which mandates that electric utilities provide carbon-free electricity by 2045. He reported Anaheim Public Utilities exited the San Juan Generating Station in 2017 to comply with the requirements of Senate Bill 1368, which prohibited life-extension investments in coal power plants. He also reported the retirement of the Kraemer Peaking Plant in 2019 due to a lack of available parts for ongoing operation. Mr. Lee reported the highest source of GHGs are transportation-related and Anaheim Public Utilities resources allowed for carbon credits which were monetized and used to assist customers transitioning to zero-emission vehicles. Mr. Lee reported the GHG Plan includes other areas such as energy efficiency, water conservation, shade trees, LED lighting, and local solar, and also serves as a visual tool to communicate to the community and stakeholders about the City's progress and future goals. He explained local high school students were educated on the different initiatives provided by Anaheim Public Utilities and their feedback was solicited. DISCUSSION: Council Member Barnes acknowledged the hard work of the students. In response to Council Member Moreno, Mr. Lee explained Anaheim Public Utilities does not have the necessary buying power such as the larger utilities, like Southern California Edison or Pacific Gas and Electric(PG&E), but tries to pool resources with other similarly-sized utilities. Additionally, he reported Anaheim Public Utilities tries to avoid entering into significantly long arrangements whenever possible to avoid the potential for technological obsolescence. MOTION: Council Member Barnes moved to approve the 2020 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (Plan) and authorize the Public Utilities General Manager, or designees, to take all actions necessary, required, or advisable to implement, administer, and submit the Plan to the appropriate regulatory agencies, 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. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 7 of 21 D182 4. Approve the Anaheim Public Utilities 2020 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (Plan) and authorize the Public Utilities General Manager, or designees, to take all actions necessary, required, or advisable to implement, administer, fund, and carry out the actions or activities envisioned by the Plan. Public Utilities General Manager Dukku Lee provided a brief overview of the Anaheim Public Utilities 2020 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, which serves to establish methods and procedures used to construct, maintain, and operate electrical lines and equipment in a manner that will minimize the risk of wildfire. He explained the plan complies with Senate Bill 901 that requires all public and private electric utilities to assess the risk of wildfires in their service territories and present mitigation measures to minimize those risks. He commented that 98% of Anaheim's electrical lines are underground in the geographic location considered Elevated Fire Threat Zones, which mitigates the potential for wild fires. Mr. Lee advised Anaheim Public Utilities collaborated with Anaheim Fire & Rescue to develop key elements of the plan which included identifying the Fire Threat Zone and mitigation. He reported Guidehouse was selected as the qualified independent evaluator of the plan based on their experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure from other utilities. He reported Guidehouse evaluated the plan, found it to be comprehensive, and deemed it meets the statutory requirements outlined in Senate Bill 901. Mr. Lee reported the addition of wildfire cameras to the plan and advised the first two cameras have been installed, are fully operational with an optimal view of the 91/241 interchange, and have already been instrumental and improving situational awareness and supporting fire response. He reported joint training was conducted with Metro Net, Southern California Edison, UC San Diego, and utility staff. He reported Senate Bill 901 also established a Wildfire Safety Advisory Board and, if the item were approved, the plan would be submitted to the new state entity. Mr. Lee stated the Wildfire Mitigation Plan is specific to overhead electrical infrastructure and supplements the comprehensive and broader Anaheim Fire & Rescue Mitigation Plan for the community. DISCUSSION: Council Member Barnes requested the Community Support portion of the report be documented for District 6 so residents can be assured the plan is becoming more solidified. Fire Chief Pat Russell expressed his support for the Wildfire Mitigation Plan. Council Member Barnes congratulated Mr. Lee for providing an outstanding plan and requested the plan be distributed to residents. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Faessel's inquiry, Mr. Lee explained there were two remaining areas for undergrounding. He reported a power line on Eucalyptus has been approved by City Council and he expects to provide City Council with a construction package for their consideration in the fall. He reported the other area is though the Oak Canyon Nature Center. In that area, he reported the wood poles have been removed and replaced with ductile iron poles, which are more resilient to fires in addition to de-energizing the line. MOTION: Council Member Barnes moved to approve the Anaheim Public Utilities 2020 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (Plan) and authorize the Public Utilities General Manager, or designees, to take all actions necessary, required, or advisable to implement, administer, fund, and carry out the actions or activities envisioned by the Plan, seconded by Council Member Kring. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 8 of 21 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Moreno, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES - 0. Motion carried. D112 5. Ratify the appointment of Greg Garcia to the position of Interim City Manager and receive an oral report of compensation pursuant to Section 54953(c)(3) of the California Government Code. City Clerk Theresa Bass reported that under California Government Code Section 54953, a summary of the salary and benefits of an executive appointment needs to be made at the same time action is taken. She reported, pursuant to final action for this appointment, Interim City Manager Greg Garcia will receive a 15% increase over his current salary effective April 22, 2020, which will result in an adjusted annual salary of$281,520 and would include all benefits as provided to the Executive Team. DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu expressed his support for Interim City Manager Greg Garcia and provided a brief history of his accomplishments during his 15 years of service to Anaheim. He also reported Mr. Garcia has played a leading role in the City's daily operations, including a leading role in City's COVID-19 response. MOTION: Mayor Sidhu moved to ratify the appointment of Greg Garcia to the position of Interim City Manager and receive an oral report of compensation pursuant to Section 54953(c)(3) of the California Government Code, seconded by Council Member Kring. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Faessel and Council Member Kring expressed their support for ratifying the appointment. Council Member Barnes recommended a mediator be used to resolve any conflicts in the future with at-will personnel situations. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, City Attorney Robert Fabela explained the salary increase was not anticipated but does not go beyond the City Manager's approved budget. He also clarified the salary increase is between $35,000 and $37,000. Council Member Moreno reported the City paid former City Manager Chris Zapata a $475,000 severance package to obtain his resignation. He explained his former votes related to the City Manager position and supported the increase to Mr. Garcia's salary at this time. He believed the item represented an overall expenditure of about $505,000 from the City's General Fund including the severance package for Mr. Zapata. Council Member O'Neil commented the vacancy in the City Manager's Office offsets any expense the City incurred with the termination of the former City Manager. He also recommended the City not remove the "at-will" provision of employment, as it would limit the termination rights of the City. Council Member Moreno reiterated the total dollar amount of the item is $505,000 based on past actions by the Council. He expressed his support for Interim City Manager Greg Garcia's appointment. Council Member Barnes encouraged City Council to consider a mediation plan should something similar happen again in the future. Council Member Kring commented that"at-will" positions such as City Manager are critical and should remain "at-will".

Planning and Building Director Ted White introduced the item and reported the first part is to receive the Center City Corridors Vision Plan as an informational item, and the second is to approve a Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group, in an amount not to exceed $874,904, for the preparation of the Center City Corridors Vision Plan and associated environmental document. Mr. White reported Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) provided funding for the Vision Plan, in the amount of$225,000, as part of their Sustainable Communities Program. The Vision Plan is intended to be the foundation from which a Specific Plan is built. He reported the Vision Plan process includes background research of existing City planning and policy documents, extensive community engagement and outreach process, and the identification of key themes. Mr. White reported there were two phases of community outreach, which included workshops, pop-up events, stakeholder interviews, and online surveys. He advised all written materials and notices included Spanish translations and Spanish-speaking staff attended. Additionally, he noted there has been great success sharing information via the City's social media outlets, including Instagram, Next Door, and the project's website. Mr. White reported the second item on the agenda is the Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group for the development of this specific plan itself. He advised a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant is providing the majority of the funding for this effort of$600,000, with the remainder of the funding coming from the Community and Economic Development Department for the preparation of the environmental compliance documents, which will take approximately 18 to 24 months to prepare.

He further reported the study areas are bounded by the 91 Freeway to the north, the Southern California Edison easement near Cerritos Avenue to the south, the 5 Freeway as well as West Street to the west and East Street as well the Metrolink portion of the Metrolink track to the east. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 10 of 21 Council Member Barnes requested the Center City Corridors Vision Plan be placed on the main page of the City's website. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. White reported the process is expected to take approximately 18 to 24 months to complete. He reported there would be several opportunities at different stages in the development of the Specific Plan for engagement of the public and public hearings. He commented that the consultant was asked to look at non-traditional forms of outreach to engage with a more diverse population. Council Member Moreno expressed concern that gentrification will drive up housing and rental costs and would like to see policies regarding affordable housing considerations and small business protections. Mr. White responded the policy is driven by the City Council direction. He advised the City is interested in protecting the livability in the existing single-family and multi-family neighborhoods in the area. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Council Member Moreno commented that he wanted the consultant to have a general understanding from City Council that there is an interest in sustaining affordability or even increasing it for residents now or in the future and for small businesses. Council Member Barnes expressed her support for Council Member Moreno's initiative. Council Member Moreno expressed his support for the item but hoped staff would be open and inclusive of all voices coming into this process and others who are interested in sustaining the affordability and livability in the area.

DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Public Works Director Rudy Emami explained the project starts 890 feet north of Lincoln Avenue and Muller Street then turns east on Lincoln Avenue to Broadview Street.

RESOLUTION NO. 2020-038 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY 1666.N OF ANAHEIM approving a Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and authorizing the Anaheim Fire Chief to execute the Operating Plan and any other documents required in connection with that agreement (agreement amount not to exceed $171,874.63 for the term of July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021). Fire Chief Pat Russell reported the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) agreement with the City of Anaheim for Local Response Area (LRA) is a contract to protect approximately 4,300 acres in the Severe High Hazard Fire Reduction area as deemed by the State of California. He explained the one-time fee allows Anaheim to have access to resources under this contract to mitigate wildfire, similar to an insurance policy, which would keep costs down in the event of a fire like the Canyon Fire 2. He confirmed the contract is renewed annually. DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno thanked Chief Russell and the staff for putting the contract together. MOTION: Council Member Barnes moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2020-038 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM approving a Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and authorizing the Anaheim Fire Chief to execute the Operating Plan and any other documents required in connection with that agreement, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES— 7 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Moreno, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES —0. Motion carried. D116 13. ORDINANCE NO. AN UNCODIFIED (URGENCY) ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending and restating previously adopted Uncodified (Urgency) Ordinance No. 6482 imposing a temporary moratorium on the eviction of residential or commercial tenants unable to pay rent because of COVID-19, and declaring the ordinance to be an emergency measure to take effect immediately upon adoption. (A copy of the full text of the proposed urgency ordinance is available for public review in the kiosk located in front of Anaheim City Hall and electronically with the agenda at http://www.anaheim.net/2527/Agendas). Interim City Manager Greg Garcia reported the item was an Uncodified Urgency Ordinance which would amend and restate the previously adopted uncodified urgency ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium on the eviction of residential or commercial tenants unable to pay rent due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and extend it until June 30, 2020. He advised it also modifies the timing of tenant notice requirements to be consistent with the Governor's Executive Order and provides some clarification of when back rent payments are due. City Attorney Robert Fabela reported Governor's Executive Order 37-20 allowed for seven days after a rental due date for a tenant to submit some sort of documentation citing the impact of COVID-19. The previous urgency ordinance adopted by Council indicated that should be done before the rent dates, so the change creates consistency with the Governor's Executive Order. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 12 of 21 DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu reported the item is for consideration and approval to extend protections against residential and commercial eviction until June 30, 2020, and reiterated its intent. MOTION: Mayor Sidhu moved to adopt AN UNCODIFIED (URGENCY) ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending and restating previously adopted Uncodified (Urgency) Ordinance No. 6482 imposing a temporary moratorium on the eviction of residential or commercial tenants unable to pay rent because of COVID-19, and declaring the ordinance to be an emergency measure to take effect immediately upon adoption, seconded by Council Member Moreno. DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu reported he has been working with staff on a plan to expand available funding and focus local and federal housing assistance dollars on a program to help residents catch up on unpaid rent once the moratorium is lifted. Mayor Pro Tern Faessel expressed his support for the item. Council Member O'Neil expressed his empathy for those who have lost their jobs during the pandemic but was sensitive to property owners that, based on the current moratorium, many have gone without full or potentially any payment of rent when they still have obligations that have to be met such as mortgages, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and upkeep. He noted the Governor has not extended the order beyond May 31, 2020. Council Member O'Neil noted he would not support extending the existing ordinance and expressed his hope related to the next agenda item. Council Member Kring expressed her opposition to the item. Council Member Brandman expressed his support for the item. Council Member Barnes wished to hear more discussion. Council Member Moreno expressed his support for the item. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry regarding mortgage protections, Mr. Garcia reported the Governor had made mention of lenders who have independently tried to offer mortgage relief but there was no Executive Order for a mortgage moratorium. Council Member Moreno requested staff check with the Orange County Apartment Association and the California Apartment Association to obtain statistics on the number of residents taking advantage of the rent moratorium. Council Member Moreno clarified the item is not rent forgiveness and does not include a rent freeze. He noted if the item was approved tonight, residents would be responsible for paying back any rent they were not able to pay in April, May, and June. He cited the example of the average rent in Anaheim of$1,500 per month, which would bring the repayment of rent during August, September, October, and November to $2,625 per month, including current and back-due rent amounts. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to extend the rent payback period to equal installments over 12 months and to direct staff to seek State and Federal funds to support property owners who can show dependence on rental properties for their sustenance, seconded by Council Member Barnes. DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno commented he was open to other options if City Council felt 12 months was too long, but he did fear an increase in evictions if rents were not able to be paid back. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 13 of 21 In response to Council Member Barnes's inquiry, Mr. Garcia explained any legal document or arrangement between the landlord and the tenant would be on a case-by-case basis and would vary widely. He noted the City provided tenants with a form, available on the City's website, they could utilize to inform their landlords of their desire to defer payments. It would be left to the tenants and landlords to determine repayment options and amounts on a case-by-case basis, with the base timeframe stated in the ordinance. He further explained the proposed amendment would be to extend out the repayment period over 12 months. Mr. Fabela clarified the original Urgency Ordinance allows for an agreement between the landlord and tenant, with a four-month repayment period, with the default being four equal payments. He reminded City Council the Urgency Ordinance requires a 4/5 vote or six council members. He further explained Council Member Moreno's amendment proposes the time-period be extended over 12 months in 12 equal payments. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Council Member O'Neil explained landlords need steady cash flow and would rather work out a repayment agreement with a good tenant than evict them. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mayor Sidhu stated he would like to offer residents another 30-day moratorium to assist residents during this difficult time but he would not support the 12-month repayment period. He advised he would support the four-month repayment plan and leave it to the landlord and tenant to negotiate beyond that. Council Member Moreno explained Anaheim was already in a housing crisis with spiking rents and the City Council was hoping the State would develop a rent stabilization program before the COVID- 19 pandemic. He expressed concerns there would be mass evictions because landlords could command higher rents due to market conditions. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mayor Sidhu acknowledged he was open to extending the moratorium and would revisit it after the 30-day extension. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to extend the rent payback period to equal installments over 12 months and to direct staff to seek State and Federal funds to support property owners who can show dependence on rental properties for their own sustenance, seconded by Council Member Barnes. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 1 (Council Member Moreno); NOES — 5 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Kring, and O'Neil); ABSTAIN — 1 (Council Member Brandman). Motion failed. DISCUSSION: Council Member Barnes explained her vote and noted she would like to entertain at least another 30-day extension to Mayor Sidhu's proposal. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to extend the rent payback period to equal installments over six months and to direct staff to seek State and Federal funds to support property owners who can show dependence on rental properties for their own sustenance, seconded by Council Member Barnes. DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno encouraged City Council to support a six-month repayment period, which is only two months longer than the original four-month repayment period. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 14 of 21 In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Garcia reported he was unaware of any legislation regarding payback at this time, but it was possible. Mr. Fabela reported the California Courts through the Judicial Council, which is the policy-making body of the California courts as chaired by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, stated that the courts are not enforcing evictions or foreclosures until 90 days after the State of Emergency is lifted. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to extend the rent payback period to equal installments over six months and to direct staff to seek State and Federal funds to support property owners who can show dependence on rental properties for their own sustenance, seconded by Council Member Barnes. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 1 (Council Member Moreno); NOES — 5 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Kring, and O'Neil); ABSTAIN — 1 (Council Member Brandman). Motion failed. DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Sidhu's inquiry, Mr. Fabela clarified there was no rule as to how many amendments could be introduced but the Mayor can prevent a motion if it was deemed to be a misuse of the process. He encouraged Mayor Sidhu to be fair. Mayor Sidhu expressed his support for extending the moratorium an additional 30-days and asked for his colleagues' support. Council Member Moreno expressed his concern for the local property owners who are dependent on rent received for their own sustenance and retirement income. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to direct staff to seek State and Federal funds to support property owners who can show dependence on rental properties for their own sustenance, seconded by Council Member Barnes. DISCUSSION: Council Member Kring reiterated the Supreme Court Chief Justice made it clear no evictions will be performed for 90 days after they start to default. She commented that many large apartment complexes are held either in trust by equity firms that have investors who are depending on that income. She encouraged protecting the renter and the landlord. Council Member Moreno responded that he was trying to be fair to both the landlord and renter as well. He explained the renter is required to provide notice and documentation their deferment is COVID-19 related and he would like to see that same process be established for the landlord. Council Member Kring reported there was no federal funding available and expressed her opposition to the item. Council Member O'Neil expressed concerns that staff was lobbying at the State and Federal level for this national problem and did not believe it was their area of responsibility. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Garcia clarified the City does have a legislative platform that is followed with regard to advocating for issues that impact Anaheim and may impact other cities as well. He further explained the City advocates, along with other cities, about the revenue impacts and the needs of residents in the City as a whole. Council Member Barnes suggested City Council look to local realtor group's lobbyists to help on this matter. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 15 of 21 In response to Council Member Barnes, Mr. Fabela clarified if the amendment was voted on by the City Council it would be another legislative policy that the City would pursue with some with its advocates. Mr. Garcia reported the City has representation in Sacramento and also in Washington, D.C., and can leverage many organizations the City belongs to advocate for the item. He further explained if City Council gives staff direction, they would proceed to utilize the expertise of Anaheim's advocates in those two areas. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to direct staff to seek State and Federal funds to support property owners who can show dependence on rental properties for their own sustenance, seconded by Council Member Barnes. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —5 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, and Moreno); NOES —2 (Council Members Kring and O'Neil). Motion carried. AMENDED MOTION: Mayor Sidhu moved to adopt AN UNCODIFIED (URGENCY) ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending and restating previously adopted Uncodified (Urgency) Ordinance No. 6482 imposing a temporary moratorium on the eviction of residential or commercial tenants unable to pay rent because of COVID-19, and declaring the ordinance to be an emergency measure to take effect immediately upon adoption and to direct staff to seek State and Federal funds to support property owners who can show dependence on rental properties for their own sustenance. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 5 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, and Moreno; NOES —2 (Council Members Kring and O'Neil). Motion failed (pursuant to Charter Section 511, affirmative votes of at least four-fifths required). D116 14. Approve and direct the Interim City Manager to: i) allocate $1,000,000 of the community relief portion of the Anaheim Community and Economic Recovery Plan (Plan) as additional funding to the Anaheim Community Foundation for grants to nonprofits serving Anaheim residents in need due to the coronavirus crisis; ii) utilize up to $3,000,000 of the remaining community relief funding on housing assistance programs with a focus on assisting Anaheim residents with rental repayment programs after the temporary moratorium on evictions expires; and iii) clarify that the Interim City Manager include the temporary waiver of interest, along with fines and penalties, as part of the previously approved temporary deferment and relief actions under the Plan for businesses that collect and remit TOT to the City. Interim City Manager Greg Garcia recapped the item was agendized by Mayor Sidhu to shift the allocation of$1,000,000 in additional relief funds to the Anaheim Community Foundation (ACF) and to utilize up to $3,000,000 of the remaining community relief funding on housing assistance programs with a focus on assisting Anaheim residents with rental repayments after the temporary moratorium on evictions expires. Lastly, it clarified the Interim City Manager can include the temporary waiver of interest, along with fines and penalties, as part of the previously approved temporary deferment and relief actions under the Plan for a business that collects and remits Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) to the City. Mr. Garcia reported the City has expended $2,000,000 to the ACF to distribute grants and they have completed two rounds of distribution. He acknowledged ACF is indicating there is a great need for critical nonprofits. He reported the item also gives staff further direction on how to focus on Anaheim's neediest residents with the housing assistance program once the moratorium ends. DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu reported the community relief portion of the Anaheim Community and Economic Recovery Plan has been very successful in providing rapid response grant funding to organizations such as YMCA, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Anaheim and Cypress, Salvation Army City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 16 of 21 of Orange County, Higher Ground, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, and Grandma's House of Hope to help feed families who are struggling or out of work and seniors who are shut-in. Mayor Sidhu proposed the City Council approve the item to direct the Interim City Manager to allocate to the Anaheim Community Foundation an additional $1,000,000 from the unspent funding in the community relief portion off the plan. He also proposed utilizing up to $3,000,000 of the remaining community relief funds on housing assistance to aid residents with rental repayment once the temporary moratorium expires. Mayor Sidhu expected that rent repayment would be a burden for tenants and landlords. He reported the City has been successful in obtaining a significant grant from the State to address homelessness and significant funding from the Federal Government for community support with some specifically dedicated to housing assistance. He reported the final action is to direct the Interim City Manager to temporarily waive interest along with fines and penalties as part of the previously approved temporary deferment and relief action. Lastly, he explained, with regards to business that remit TOT to the City, this direction is in alignment with Governor Newsom's Emergency Order. He encouraged City Council to pass the item. MOTION: Mayor Sidhu moved to approve and direct the Interim City Manager to: i) allocate $1,000,000 of the community relief portion of the Anaheim Community and Economic Recovery Plan (Plan) as additional funding to the Anaheim Community Foundation for grants to nonprofits serving Anaheim residents in need due to the coronavirus crisis; ii) utilize up to $3,000,000 of the remaining community relief funding on housing assistance programs with a focus on assisting Anaheim residents with rental repayment programs after the temporary moratorium on evictions expires; and iii) clarify that the Interim City Manager include the temporary waiver of interest, along with fines and penalties, as part of the previously approved temporary deferment and relief actions under the Plan for businesses that collect and remit TOT to the City, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Faessel. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Faessel thanked the ACF for their rapid response and expressed his support for the item. He clarified the funding has already been allocated and was simply being moved for more appropriate uses. In accordance with Government Code §1091.5, City Clerk Theresa Bass reported Mayor Pro Tern Faessel serves on the Anaheim Community Foundation Board of Directors and was allowed to participate in the discussion and vote on the item. Council Member O'Neil expressed his support for the item Council Member Kring expressed her support for the item. Council Member Moreno expressed his support for the spirit of the item but expressed concern with the limited emergency dollars available. He reported the community relief plan was intended for housing assistance, support of city workers, the continuation of City services, and to provide micro business loans to Anaheim businesses. He clarified for the public the $1,000,000 was coming from the community relief assistance, which was also direct relief for residents. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mayor Sidhu clarified he could not provide the exact number of residents the $3,000,000 would help. Council Member Moreno estimated the rental assistance could help 666 families, with a $1,500 rent assumption. Council Member Moreno addressed the four-tier reopening approach presented by the State. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 17 of 21 SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to reallocate $1,000,000 from the Visit Anaheim portion of the Anaheim Community and Economic Recovery Plan to the Anaheim Community Foundation for grants to nonprofits serving Anaheim residents in need due to the coronavirus crisis, seconded by Council Member Barnes.

ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —2 (Council Members Barnes and Moreno); NOES— 5 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Brandman, Kring, and O'Neil). Motion failed. DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Garcia responded he would provide information on how many hotels were claiming temporary deferments of TOT but he did not have the information readily available. He confirmed the item applies to all entities who pay TOT to the City and would include Short Term Rentals (STRs). In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Garcia clarified STRs and hotels are allowed to be utilized for certain situations, such as essential employees that need to use lodging services and for individuals who may need to quarantine or self-isolate themselves. He reported the City is investigating complaints regarding STRs. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry regarding the authority for staff to work within the Plan and whether the Task Force had met and made these recommendations, Mayor Sidhu advised the Economic Recovery Task Force was not on the agenda to be discussed at this time. He further advised he discussed the item with staff to focus on needs. Council Member Moreno addressed the needs for housing immediately and in the future, particularly due to delayed re-openings of businesses. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to reallocate $2,000,000 from the Visit Anaheim portion of the Anaheim Community and Economic Recovery Plan to the community relief assistance fund, seconded by Council Member Barnes. DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno encouraged City Council to support his amended motion to provide assistance to those who are working in the Anaheim Resort, which will not be opening for some time. Council Member Barnes expressed concern that Mayor Sidhu's recommendation was not coming from staff. In response to Council Member Barnes' inquiry, Mr. Garcia responded it would be very difficult to determine how much money will be needed to support the community moving forward. He explained the approach has been to take direction from the City Council, utilize the recovery program that has been allocated while being as flexible as possible, and to continue to try to utilize state and federal funding. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 18 of 21 Council Member Barnes requested an explanation of what the $6,500,000 allocated to Visit Anaheim was actually doing for the City. Mr. Garcia explained the $6,500,000 was provided to Visit Anaheim so they could continue their work in retaining conventions in town, marketing the Resort, mitigate cancellations, and put together a robust plan so Anaheim is well positioned to get tourists back to start generating revenue for the City moving forward. He clarified the proposal was attached to the agreement when it was executed and staff has been in communication with Visit Anaheim regarding their efforts and continues to get information from them. Lastly, he noted reports would be received regularly moving forward. Council Member Kring reported Visit Anaheim is the marketing arm of the Resort and of the City. She noted, without the revenue, there would be a cut in City services. She reported Visit Anaheim has booked ten conventions and recaptured two that had canceled. She expressed concern there would be a larger financial crisis if the Resort does not reopen quickly. Council Member O'Neil called for a point of order and requested a ruling on whether or not the motion is in order as it is substantially similar to the previous motion. Council Member Moreno called for a point of clarification to verify the statistics cited by Council Member Kring, which was denied by Mayor Sidhu. SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the motion to reallocate $2,000,000 from the Visit Anaheim portion of the Anaheim Community and Economic Recovery Plan to the community relief assistance fund, seconded by Council Member Barnes. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 2 (Council Members Barnes and Moreno); NOES — 5 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Brandman, Kring, and O'Neil). Motion failed. Council Member Moreno explained his abstention vote was based on assisting residents who need assistance today versus funding marketing for a Resort that may not open soon. MOTION: Mayor Sidhu moved to approve and direct the Interim City Manager to: i) allocate $1,000,000 of the community relief portion of the Anaheim Community and Economic Recovery Plan (Plan) as additional funding to the Anaheim Community Foundation for grants to nonprofits serving Anaheim residents in need due to the coronavirus crisis; ii) utilize up to $3,000,000 of the remaining community relief funding on housing assistance programs with a focus on assisting Anaheim residents with rental repayment programs after the temporary moratorium on evictions expires; and iii) clarify that the Interim City Manager include the temporary waiver of interest, along with fines and penalties, as part of the previously approved temporary deferment and relief actions under the Plan for businesses that collect and remit TOT to the City, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —6 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Barnes, Brandman, Kring, and O'Neil); NOES— 0; ABSTAIN — 1 (Council Member Moreno). Motion carried. D116 15. Update on the City's Response to COVID-19. Mayor Sidhu thanked the Anaheim staff, City Council, front-line healthcare workers, first responders, and Anaheim residents for their hard work during the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. He reported Governor Newsom has begun to provide guidance for the gradual lifting of the Stay At Home order, which will allow Anaheim to begin opening to a new normal. He looked forward to working with County officials and other local staff on guidelines and appropriate steps businesses and residents can take as soon as Anaheim moves into the Phase 3 opening stage. City Council Minutes of May 5, 2020 Page 19 of 21 Mayor Sidhu reported Anaheim has been working with the local businesses community in best practices based on ideas gathered from across the nation and he noted businesses would open in stages under guidelines from the State and Orange County Health Care Agency. Mayor Sidhu commended the Anaheim community for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fire Chief Pat Russell reported the Emergency Operations Center(EOC) is operating at Level 2 and has decreased the number of staff that are working directly out of the EOC to seven. He reported the incident directives and the operational plan remain unchanged. Chief Russell reported the EOC has moved from a response phase into a recovery phase with an emphasis on the restoration and reimbursement phase and helping support the countywide testing effort. He reported the EOC is working with all department heads to reopen City buildings and City facilities safely. He reported a team is working aggressively to obtain reimbursement through the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) and the State. He advised the State is accepting expenditures over $300,000 and Anaheim has three expenditures that qualify. Lastly, he reported there would be two testing facilities in Anaheim, which will provide Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing along with antibody testing. Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster reported California is gradually easing the Stay at Home order with a four-phase reopening plan. He reported this week Anaheim moved to Phase 2, which will see more businesses reopen in steps. He reported retailers could reopen for curbside pickup as early as Friday but need to meet California guidelines, which are due out Thursday. Mr. Lyster reported the City has been preparing the business community for a gradual reopening with physical distancing, mandated face coverings, increased cleaning and disinfection, and sending home employees who may be sick along with notifying the County or the City if an employee has tested positive for COVID-19. He reported, later in Phase 2, the City expects guidance on reopening smaller offices, some restaurants, dining, indoor malls, and hotels. He reported the Anaheim Union, Orange Unified, and Centralia School Districts have shared plans to resume classroom learning in August. Lastly, he reported a City Hall reopening working group is preparing to reopen City Hall in stages and will follow public health best practices. Mr. Lyster reported Phases 3 and 4 are set to include salons, gyms, movie theatres, places of worship, sports, concerts, and conventions. He explained Orange County would be able to move through these phases at its own pace with the filing of a Readiness Plan with the State of California. He expects Anaheim's theme parks, sports, entertainment venues, and conventions to span Phases 3 and 4. He reported the City is tracking the opening of Disney's international theme parks as well as their Florida theme parks. Mr. Lyster reported that Anaheim has reported 428 COVID-19 cases. He also reported slower case growth as testing expands. He explained as testing increases and more businesses open, there would be more positive cases. He advised that Orange County is working to administer 4,000 daily tests to support reopening and the City will watch daily fluctuations. He reported the County is expanding its contact tracing to handle up to as many as 1,000 cases per week. Mr. Lyster reported Community Services has made more than 6,700 welfare check calls on Anaheim seniors since March and three senior drive-up food sites have provided nearly 13,000 meals to nearly 1,300 seniors. Additionally, he reported Anaheim provides more than 5,000 meals and made nearly 2,000 deliveries, working with nonprofits and churches, including Vineyard Anaheim. City Council Minutes of May 5,2020 Page 20 of 21 Mr. Lyster reported the Senior Safety Net program has helped 30 senior households and provided $120,000 in rental assistance with staff receiving approximately six calls per week regarding the program.

Council Member Moreno thanked City staff for their hard work. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Interim City Manager Greg Garcia advised staff would begin to work with City partners, housing associations, and the Housing Authority to collect data on who is requiring rental assistance in Anaheim. Council Member Moreno thanked Mr. Lyster for placing information regarding California's $125,000,000 in funds for undocumented immigrants on the City's website. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Chief Russell reported the City is working through the ability to provide widespread testing to Anaheim. He reported expanding testing would give the City confidence to reopen faster when combined with social distancing along with recommendations from the State. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Lyster reported the goal is to increase testing. He reported California guidelines focus on symptomatic first responders and medical personnel based on exposure and risk. Additionally, he reported Anaheim is working with the County to expand testing for those who need it and hoped to expand to a much broader population. Council Member Moreno requested the City keep in communication with the school districts regarding testing. In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Lyster advised he could not provide specifics but the reopening would be fluid and in a phased approach and will depend on the County filing a plan with the State and moving forward cautiously and safely. No action taken.

My name is Perla Tapia and I am a coordinator for a student project called Love Yourself, along with my teammates Amelia Shim and Tasha Nguyen at Oxford Academy. We have contacted you today to express our interest in assisting eating disorder patients during this pandemic. Those with eating disorders may have difficulty going outside and purchasing the necessary food in order to work towards a healthy weight and lifestyle_ In addition, eating disorders often weaken the body and subsequently the immune system, so it is extremely risky for people with such disorders to go outside to get the proper resources. While many city schools and school districts are offering free meals to the students and their communities, it may not be sufficient enough for people with eating disorders trying to recover. They must follow a strict schedule of meals and snacks that are composed of specific food groups that may not be adequately covered by the meals provided by schools or have access to such food during the lockdown. These eating disorder patients are in danger of relapse, as some people are reacting to the pandemic and the anxiety of having inadequate resources by further restricting their diet or binging and purging. As a result, their health can worsen and they may end up at a hospital, which is not ideal for the patients or the hospitals who are already trying to address the pandemic. We hope to propose a policy that will allow individuals suffering from an eating disorder to have access to free or at least affordable meal kits that fit their specific nutritional and overall food requirements. While this will be difficult as there are different eating disorders with different requirements, it will ultimately be beneficial for people with eating disorders to be able to contact the city in order to sign up for nutritious meals for the duration of the tockdown. If that is not possible, we propose to give there priority at grocery stores, similar to senior prioritization. Many patients could still be on exercise and activity limits, meaning that they can not stand or wait for long periods of time, so giving them priority at stores would allow them to use electric shopping carts for those who have restricted movement while allowing patients to shop for their dietary needs before the general public for recovery. We thank you for your time and hope that you take our policy recommendations into consideration.

Foundation. We educate and empower residents of Anaheim through community health education. Anaheim has the highest number of tobacco retailers, more than any other city in Orange County. Many of these retailers and shops are located near elementary, middle, and high schools. In just one year from 2018-2019, the percentage of high school students vaping has jumped from 12% to 21%. The tobacco industry is targeting kids with over 15,500 flavors, advertising ( Influencers on social media: YouTube & lnstagram), and discounts/price Promotions. The recent outbreak of e -cigarette, or vaping-associated product lung injury, which predominantly affects young people, is still a major public health concern. According to the CDC, there were 55 reported deaths in California alone From using these products in 2019. and now everyone who smokes and napes are at a greater risk for getting sicker trorn COVID-19. According to Tobacco Free CA, smoking and vaping weaken the immune system and the body's ability to fight infections. Now is the time to take a stand against Big Tobacco and protect kids.

Public Comment From: Michelle Schumacher Sent: Friday, April 24, 2020 5:28 PM To: Michelle Schumacher Subject: Public Comments for next City Council Meeting please read into the record. As Council Members how do you feel about the following activity of the TCA. - the toll roads, a joint powers agreement in Grange County? It is imperative that cities stop allowing this to continue. Do you support the TCA spending $85,000 for one dinner? Do you think $5,000 dollars for a golf game is an acceptable expenditure? If so how often? Why is the TCA funding and funneling so much money to local non profits (run by the same few people) that are involved in electioneering in Orange County? If the TCA expects Orange County residents to afford the ever increasing tolls, now set to automatically increase Z% annually, why do they regularly approve multimillion dollar contracts with vendors outside of our state? Would it not be better to keep this money in California? At least this way residents could afford to drive them. The CEO just retired but was making more than the President of the United States and adding to California pensions problems, OC residents average pay is $80,000 a year, how is this extraordinary high compensation responsible for government agency employee that manages less than 90 people? The TCA is not responding to public records requests? What do you have to hide? Do you think it is ok to expense a $50 seabass. a filet, appetizers, and dessert, and fail to list who the second person was on the expense report? TCA's Ad Hoc Committees are making policies and taking action without the Board approval? Why is the army of Lobbyists and consultants the TCA employs allowed to attend the Ad Hoc meetings yet the public not welcome? Why is the TCA new CECT the President of another organization that the TCA reimburses him personally for his INTERNATIONAL airfare lodging meals to be on another organizations board? Did you know that the TGA is taking debt off the books with the bond refinance/remarketing to look better for the rating agencies and putting this debt in escrow accounts --} this is the same shady thing Enron did. Do you think $4.7 Billion dollars which the TCA owes today is an acceptable debt balance? Did you know that once the debt is actually paid it will cost 11 Billion Dollars? Are you comfortable with this debt level? Did you know the TCA was paying a Consultant $185 an hour to read the news to the tune of $230,000 dollars last year and billing for 26 hour work days according to a LA Times report last year? Did you know in 2014 the aG Grand Jury Issued a solvency warning to the TGA, they carry over 64% of the CSG JPA debt? I think it is time that you consider the TGA and it large debt burden and start them on a proper path and intent of paying down the bonds. They are embarking on mission creep and want to build un tolled roads for private developers and get involved in other projects -- however the 11 billion owed on the bonds by 2053 should stop these foolish plans from ever starting. Taxpayers depend on your leadership. Thankyou Public Comment From: Denise Colber Sent: Friday, April 24, 2020 7:45 PM Subject: Public comments for the next council meeting Attachments: public comments city council meeting.docx X would like to submit my Comments for the public comments at the next city council meeting and put into public record. Thank you The essence of corruption is taking a small amount of money from a large group of people - then giving a large amount of money to a small group of insiders - that is what many believe is going on at the TCA — the Toll Roads, a run amok government agency. - The Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) have been a 'bad deal for taxpayers almost from inception. Formed as a Joint Power agreement in Orange County in 1986, TCA was to plan, finance, construct and operate the toll roads, pay off its debt and finally return free highways to taxpayers. - In 1998 TCA commenced full operation with combined construction debt of $2.9 billion, maturing in 2033 (SJHTCA) and 2040 (FOETCA). Total debt service would have been approximately $5.8 billion over the life of the bonds. - Low driver usage caused TCA revenue projections to be overstated and thus debt service obligations could not be met. This income shortfall necessitated repeated refinancing and increasing reliance on capital appreciation bonds (CABs) These bonds allow current interest to be deferred and added to principal, so that debt grows instead of diminishing. • 20 years later (June 30, 2ox8) TCA debt has ballooned to $4.7 billion, even after two decades of principal and interest payments on the original $ 2.9 billion debt. - TCA will pay another $6.9 billion in interest to mature that debt, making projected principal and interest payments of $11.6 billion tbru 2053. This debt will mature 13 to 17 years later than expected (2060 for SJHTCA and 2063 for F/ETCA). Local taxpayers will have paid for the original roads at least 5 times. • Combined toll revenue in 2018 was $38o million and developer fees were $32 million. Residents will be paying increasing tolls and developers will be paying increasing impact fees thru 2053, for another 13 to 17 years longer than the original plan. On top of that debt service load, there are the growing annual operating costs of TCA bureaucracy. - TCA has not built a road in 20 years, but tolls are now almost $9 one way on the 73 toll road. Developer fees are about $446,000 per new single family residence built in the 12 south OC cities and in rapidly growing unincorporated areas like Ladera Ranch. Meanwhile, most local residents avoid the toll roads, leaving them underused almost every hour of every day, a waste of capital and a deterrent to mobility. This silent tax needs to stop as it drives up the cost of housing and doing business in Orange County. • TCXs sustainability is tenuous. They admit that "there can be no assurances that the toll rates that are established will produce sufficient toil revenues to permit the payment of debt service." In short, as tolls get too high, ridership and revenue will decline. TCXs financing model, might implode again, causing debt obligations to fall into default without yet more refinancing. • The failure to pay oft the original debt on time means developer impact fees will hang over the south Orange County real estate market much longer. Those fees are passed on to consumers in home costs. • TCA continues to accrue debt and grow in power and influence, keeping itself in business at taxpayers' expense. TCA was a bad idea that got out of control and must end. An independent forensic examination of the TCA is warranted. Potential termination of TCA may be prudent. Thank you, DeniseM arie Bettencourt A concerned tax payer Public Comment From: Samuel Goldstein Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2020 4:23 €'M Subject: Letter to be read Dear City Councils please read read this letter for public comments at the next City Council meeting, Thank ,you, Samuel Goldstein Make the 73 Toll Road a Freeway Sooner, Not Later! Consider Using the 73 Right -of -Way for New Transportation Alternatives Find More Creative Solutions for Lessening Congestion & increasing Mobility (1) The original idea and promise of the 73 involved a two-part public benefit. First, this privately financed and user -funded toll road would become a "freeway" in 30 years. Second, other roads meanwhile would be less congested, as drivers willing to pay to save time would use the 73. (2) It's been 33 years since the 73 was built, for 2.3 Billion over 4+00% over the initial TCA. claim that the project would only cost $858 million. But it will be another 33 years — until 2053 before the debt (now growing in the wrong direction) is paid off, and the tolls are lifted. The motoring public should not have to wait so long —more than twice as long as promised. Something must be dome. (3) The tolls on the 73 have reached levels that commuters f rid prohibitive, congestion has increased on the 5, the 405 and especially Pacific Coast High -way in the south County cities along the San Joaquin corridor yet the 73 toll road remains unclogged, virtually 24/7. (4) Making better use of the 73's surplus capacity — and also better use of its generous right-of-way can lessen congestion and increase mobility in south County. There is room for rapid bus and carpool lanes. Also, possibly emerging technologies such as Elon Musk's hyper -loop. (5) The rub is the debt; the 73 bond holders. County leaders should pursue creative solutions. It starts with intention. Intention to end this inequity and inefficiency, the 73 is open, often empty, not free; yet it's most of the motoring public that pays the real price, in lost time and productivity. (6) The TCA has been creeping outside their mission for the past 5 years, trying to add toll lanes on the freeways and "fund" roads for private developers. This is the wrong path for this agency that has 30 years of financial failure. It is time the bonds are paid down and this redundant agency put to rest. We have OCTA and Caltrans that could more effectively handle the transportation needs. (7) Finally, consider extending the 57, mostly over the Santa Ana flood channel, all the way to the 73, which would effectively link north and south County and take pressure off the 55. (S) The original notion was to get a publicly beneficial road built with private. money. That's been done. Let's find a way to retire the debt on a timetable closer to the original plan, make the 73 a freeway, and make smart use of the 73 right-of- way, which now is a grossly under-utilized asset.

I would like to thank the City of Anaheim for continuing to work hard on addressing homelessness, graffiti and many other community community issues that effect residents. I would like to bring awareness to a very serious issue that is effecting the community - LOUD and daily external noise. The first chronic source of noise is a white ice cream truck Bedolia Produce 1582 Acacia Garden Grove, CA 92840 license plata . The vendor is in the neighborhood ONCE AN HOUR between noon - —8.00PM. When the vendor drives down the street they play a very loud trumpet tune several times, then proceed to double park their vehicle. Please see attached photos of the subject vendor. Many of us of are working from home and have important calls with customers and clients, the sound of trumpets in the background is not exactly professional. Not to mention it is incredibly annoying and distracting. The mobile food vendor is continuing to disturb the peace and I propose we amend the City law to ban vehicular mobile food vendors. The second chronic source of noise is the Anaheim Police Department. Every single night between 10-.45PM - 1:30AM there is a police helicopter flying very low over the neighborhood which is quite laud. I understand predictive policing however the nightly flights are really causing folks to have more anxiety and I'm quite doubtful that this is actually doing anything other than constantly disturbing the residents. Strang consideration should be given to reducing the use of helicopter flights when residents are trying to sleep at night. I recommend the Anaheim PD research alternative methods/technologies for crime suppression, maybe talk to the Air Force and purchase a pre -owned surveillance drone? Tile reason I am bringing attention to noise is that there has been a tremendous amount of scientific research that has concluded that the more external loud noise there is, the more difficult it is for humans to concentrate, lean} and focus among other things. Essentially constant exposure to loud noise leads to increases in anxiety and stress and lowers cognitive abilities. Generally, in more affluent areas there are no mobile food vendors/ice cream trucks or predictive policing which means there is a higher quality of life in the more affluent areas of Orange County than areas such as 92804. Our goal as a Community and Government should be to work on improving the quality of life for everyone, especially residents, this should start with reducing external noise as much as possible as it effects everyone! Thank you for taking to the time to read my comment/feedback and keep up the great work. Thanks!

State College Sht Anaheim, CA 92906 Email=SRl-Q51oIg a _scam am writing to provide public comment on the Anaheim Public Utilities Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (consent calendar item three). As your utility partner providing services to the residents of Anaheim, we applaud your roadmap to meet California's 2045 clean energy goals.. Like you, we are working to meet California's greenhouse gas emission reduction objectives, while keeping bills affordable for consumers. SoCalGas is proud of our vision to become the cleanest natural gas utility in North America, by replacing 20'1/o of our traditional natural gas with green gas by 2030. We support the Anaheim Public Utilities draft goals and targets for reducing emissions, especially those that promote policies to increase local renewable energy resources and reduce transportation emissions. In particular, we support the acknowledgement of renewable natural gas (RNG) as a renewable energy resource in your Draft Plan, which describes use of biomass and waste resources as sources of renewable energy, such as landfills and dead trees. Because RNG can be carbon negative, we believe the Draft Plan could achieve greater local emission reductions from expansion of RNG production and use. SoCalGas would also like to suggest inclusion of hydrogen as a key renewable resource in the Draft Plan, particularly as it can support expansion of intermittent renewable energy like wind and solar. SoCalGas stands ready, willing, and able to work with Anaheim Public Utilities and find additional ways to partner in renewable electric generation. We'd be thrilled to share all the incredible benefits of hydrogen and RNG with you, building even more upon the solid foundation you have already placed. With this, thank you for your leadership addressing this important issue. SoCalGas looks forward to continuing our partnership with Anaheim Public Utilities and bringing affordable, reliable, clean gas supply to city residents and businesses. As always, I am here for you if you have questions. Take care and stay safe. Sincerely, Emily Grant Jennifer L. Hall From Sent: To. Cc: Subject: Attachments: Mayor and City Council, Item # .

The ACLU of Southern California has at least 1,169 members in the City of Anaheim. 3 am urging you today to OPPOSE Agenda Item #07, the $35,000 annual agreement with Veritone Inc. Facial recognition surveillance poses unique and significant civil rights and civil liberties threats to the residents and visitors of Anaheim. Facial recognition surveillance technology has a history of being far less accurate in identifying the faces of women, young people, and people of color, and such inaccuracies place certain persons at an elevated risk of harmful "false positive" identifications. Many of the databases to which face surveillance technology is applied are plagued by racial and other biases, which generate copycat biases in face surveillance data. We have three substantive concerns about the annual Veritone Inc. subscription: First, the May 5, 2020 Agenda Report purports to say that facial recognition will be "narrow" because it will only cross reference images to mugshots. This is misleading to the public. Whether Anaheim Police Department will run images against a limited database doesn't matter if Veritone is running several images against it, e.g, images from surveillance cameras, dash cams, private cameras, Ring cameras, etc. Even though Anaheim Police Department is checking images against a limited mugshot database there is no_hing limiting how Veritone captures footage to check against the mugshot database to generate the facial recognition software technology. Second, regarding the use of legally captured mugshot photos: no one who was arrested was told that their photos would be used in perpetuity in the future for facial recognition. No one agreed to that and very few people would agree to that. Suggesting that this is lawful is misleading, Third, the City of Anaheim will use a racist technology that does not work well for people of color and running it against a database that is disproportionately people of color. Racism is encoded into the facial recognition program because mugshots are used, and systemic racism exists in arrest rates. This subscription will produce racist outcomes, guaranteed. Moreover, identification using facial recognition has the very real danger of subjecting people to pate ntially via lent contacts with police. An identification—whether accurate or not—could cost people their lives, and this technology has the risk of further fueling the epidemic of police violence against people of color. You can't build a face recognition system for investigative purposes that can't also be used for massive, unaccountable surveillance. Systems and databases like this one can be turned against the public and used to target political enemies, round up immigrants, and track who we are and where we go in our daily, private lives. We urge you to oppose the Veritone Inc. annual subscription. Thank you, Jennifer Rojas Policy Advocate and Organizer ACLU SoCai Jennifer L.

I'm appalled at the complete lack of rights a commercial landlord has in the city of Anaheim. Please do not extend this ordinance! You are going to bankrupt owners and send them into foreclosure.

All I receive is $1,240 per month from Supplemental Security income. The Secretary of the Treasury announce today if they are starting to mail out or direct deposit the stimulus checks for SSI recipients, Railroad Retirement recipients, and Veterans Benefits. There is no possible way for these people to not only pay their rents but pay the back rent in for payments. I am requesting that the city council and the mayor extend the deadline on the moratorium for evictions until July 31 st, is that will take most of us that long to catch up with all the things we needed to buy for the virus. There is no possible way that anyone that owes back rent even if extended until June 30th would be able to pay back the landlord for past -due rent in for payments along with the current rent. So I am also requesting at the city council and mayor make that payable back to the landlord + 6 equal monthly payments. There is no other possible way that we could survive dang it back in for monthly payments and paying the current rent at the same time. And there are thousands of people in Anaheim it has not paid their rent and I are going to have to pay this back in order not to be evicted. Enjoying some research I'm looking at other cities and states, they are allowing it should be paid back in 6 equal monthly payments and restricting the landlord from evicting them as long as those payments were made on time.. So I'm asking the city council to do the same thing, and I extend the moratorium on evictions until July 31st as many people have not even received their stimulus payment yet. It is not even possible, even if we wanted to to do it any other way. But there has to be a guarantee that up the back payments are made they will not allow evictions to take place. Almost one-third of the Anaheim Residence has not paid their back rent. And that is a very close estimate. So we're leaving up to the city council to do the fair thing and allow us until July 31st and then make 6 equal monthly payments on any back to or past due rent. It's not even possible to do it any other way. Respectfully, David M Mazer Anaheim, California item # Distributed to majority of City Council within Jennifer L.

Given our state's high costs of housing and the extensive rent burden for many California families, we worry that any loss of wages related to the outbreak of COVID 19 will only further imperil with homelessness our most at -risk families. We know that the need to protect residents that live paycheck to paycheck from the economic fallout of this virus includes protecting them against facing eviction and homelessness which would only further spread this disease and make its containment harder if people don't have a home to care for the health, safety and welfare of their families. Cities across the state have adopted ordinances to protect their residents. On March 16th Governor Newsom said, "Over the next few weeks, everyone will have to make sacrifices -- but a place to live shouldn't be one of them. I strongly encourage cities and counties to take up this authority to protect Californians." We commend your work on this urgency ordinance to protect Anaheim tenants. While a creat start there are sections of the ordinance that can be strengthened to further protect Anaheim tenants. We recommend the followingchanges: Section S. Repayment of Rent Required Extend the repayment period from 120 to 180 days If no agreement is reached between the landlord and tenant allow the backfpast rent due to be repaid in six (6) installments o Tenants should be provided 6 months to pay backlpast rent and the flexibility to pay back what is feasible on a month to month basis. Requiring equal installments can place a burden on households who may need a month or two to recover from C©VI❑-19 financial impacts Section 6. Additional Direction by the City Council Housing Rental Assistance Program o If federally restricted dollars are utilized, make this program available to mixed immigration status households by prorating the rental relief they can receive based off the number of eligible recipients in the household o Do not require tenants to prove that they will be able to pay rent the following months as COVI❑-19 makes this difficult o Do not require landlords to sign a w-9. This can create unnecessary barriers as a tenant's receiving of rental assistance would be based on a landlord's willingness to sign a w-9. o Remove barriers to access wherever possible. We urge that you pass an urgency ordinance with the recommendations provided. Immediate assistance is necessary, to keep low-income working families in their homes and to not exacerbate homelessness.

I appreciate Mayor 5idhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need —food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are there to hire people back and be part of the recovery.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 mullion in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need — food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $$ million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need — food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the C©V1D-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundatien to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work, Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need — food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are there to hire people back and be part of the recovery. I thank you for your efforts on behalf of our city in these unprecedented times, and I urge you to support vote for item 14 on the May 5 Council meeting agenda. Thank you!

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need - food, shelter, and other essential supplies - during the COVID-14 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues.

Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people hack to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and hack rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are there to hire people back and be part of the recovery. 1 thank you for your efforts on behalf of our city in these unprecedented times, and I urge you to support vote for item 14 on the May 5 Council meeting agenda.

Anaheim Boulevard, Seventh Floor Anaheim, CA 92805 RE: Sale of Cannabis in the City of Anaheim Dear Mayor Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council: It is my understanding that you are considering allowing the sale of cannabis in the City of Anaheim. I am 100% against allowing the sale of cannabis in the City of Anaheim. I I have lived, worked and volunteered in the City of Anaheim for nearly 60 years and I love our community. By allowing the sale of cannabis in Anaheim is a step in the wrong direction and urge you to not allow this to happen. Part of my volunteering for our great city includes: Commissioner, 10 years for the Housing and Community Development Commission; Vice Chair, Anaheim Chapter of the American Heart Association; Past President, Anaheim Association of Realtors(& and the Pacific West Association of Realtorsv; Graduate. PACE and CERT programs; Member, 10 years Rotary Club of Anaheim; and Chair, Adopt -A -Neighbor program (administered by Anaheim Beautiful).. I bring this to your attention to show you that I am committed to the City of Anaheim and that my efforts have been to improve our wonderful community. I fully believe that if the sale of cannabis is allowed in Anaheim it will be detrimental to the Anaheim residents and a step back for all the progress that has been made over the years plus ruin the integrity of our city. You have a duty to do what is best for Anaheim and I believe, this is not in the best interest of our community. Please do not allow cannabis in Anaheim. Thank you for your attention.

Anaheim Boulevard, Seventh Floor Anaheim, CA 92805 Dear Mayor Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council: It has come to rry attention that there will a discussion item on this week's agenda to allow the sale of cannabis in the City of Anaheim. This is the WORST idea ever considered in the history of our city. Should this ever be permitted in our city, it will change our community in an irreversibly horrible way FOREVER. I am absolutely astonished that you would even consider this as something good for our city! Please don't tell me about the "financial benefits" or that "its coming to Anaheim anyway" or that "we can control the illegal dispensaries" if we allow legal sales to exist. This is a lie and a false premise that only those who are associated with the Industry, including their lobbyists, are proffering as fact. It is not. This will only come to our city IF YOU LET IT! As all of you should know, about ten years ago, the City of Anaheim had over 125 cannabis dispensaries scattered all over the city. Some of these, approximately 8, were actually mobile units, like the Helm's Bakery trucks, that would roll up to your house with free delivery to those who wanted to make their purchase from the comfort of their own homes. We spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours to rad the city of these menacing businesses. These facilities brought Anaheim everything from fires to vagrancy to MURDER. They are so undesirable that they must offer potential landlords MUCH MORE than the listed rental rates as an incentive to lease their buildings. i personally was asked to participate in relocating some of these facilities out of Anaheim. Even after all of these years, we are new down to about 10. We have spent millions of dollars more and incalculable amounts of time and energy with citywide youth programs with the Anaheim Boys and Girls Club, Cops 4 Kids, Higher Ground and the Anaheim Family YMCA in developing a DRUG FREE culture in our city. What kind of an example would this set for the thousands of Anaheim kids that we serve every single day that absolutely defies every effort made to keep kids away from drugs?? There can be no debate on the issue of marijuana being a "gateway drug" for a life of problems and addiction. It is a fact. 1225 VILEST LINCOLN AVENUE • ANAHEIM, CA 92805 • (714) 772-7000 - FAX (714) 772-3372 RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL • INDUSTRIAL • INVESTMENT VWMF. PAU LKOTTR EALTO RS. COM Mayor Harry Sidhu Members of the Anaheim City Council May 3, 2020 Page 2 of 2 Anaheim has always been recognized for its ingenuity, creativity and willingness to bring a high quality of life to its community. This does not fall into any type of quality category for our city. We have been further blessed to have an economic engine that will continue to provide us with more prosperity in the future. I know that Disneyland is closed currently, but this is temporary and we must look beyond any sort of short-sighted action that we will soon regret. No other city in the world that its host to a Disney theme park will allow cannabis to be sold in their city! Even the federal government does not recognize any "legitimacy" of the cannabis industry. Proposition 64 allowed that each municipality has the power to govern whether or not to allow cannabis sales in their respective jurisdiction. Of the 34 cities in Orange County, only 2 have decided to legalize cannabis sales, which means that 32 of 34 (over 90%) have the goad sense to forbid this type of industry. There are reasons they prohibit this. There is a very small percentage of consumers that legitimately utilize cannabis for medical reasons, which I feel is very reasonable. The good news is that they can go to Santa Ana to buy all they want whenever the need arises. Please continue to let our neighboring city serve this industry. We shouldn't care if they "corner the market" on this product. We have other resources in Anaheim that are the envy of every city west of the Mississippi River. As you know, I have been in the real estate business for 43 years and have seen, first hand, what this would do because I've seen it before in other cities. It will ruin shopping centers and neighborhoods. There will be many apartment buildings and condominium complexes in which no one (except users) will want to live. Have you consulted with your own Police Chief to see if this is even close to a good idea? Please do not consider taking the advice of the parasitic "consultants" who have drawn your attention with campaign support promises. They have no standing in Anaheim, nor do they care what will happen to our city. They look at cannabis and Anaheim like Las Vegas looks at slot machines! Let them go back to Orange, San Clemente, Brea, or where ever they live to see if anybody there would be interested. Please stop this stupid idea now by voting to remove it from any farther consideration..... PERIOD! aRm5i Mos Respectfully, . aul.

I believe by providing a percentage of funds to the existing programs provided by the city (i.e., Project SAY, C4K, Youth Sports and the Orange County Family Justice Center) to continue the work and enhance the resources and services provided by such programs can be the responsible thing to educate and provide positive alternatives for our youth.

This battle was mainly about money and power. Britain and Spain managed to negotiate civil terms with Mexico but Napoleon tried to take advantage. He underestimated the seemingly small defenseless territory and people. He sent troops and lost. This is important to remember that the people are important in this town. They are not seemingly small and you should not underestimate them. Time and time again the people that you all claim to represent and take photo ops. with, speak to you and their wishes "fall on deaf ears." have comments and concerns about items.# 5, 13 and 14_ Item #5 brings up the recent actions taken to drive out the city manager, to inevitably force his resignation and put our city into a vulnerable position during this current crisis. This is another example of an action taken that puts your agenda ahead of sound reason and strips away confidence and trust of the people. Do you understand what the people are experiencing right now? This isn't a matter of inconvenience for your town. It is survival. Must I explain that our district distributes over 10,000 meals a day now. It sometimes surpasses 11,000. We had 3 distributions from Second Harvest at our schools and one from Saddleback church in the last two weeks and more is needed. The distribution once a week at the Honda center comes up short for the people in Anaheim. They need more and you have the ability to help. I and many others feel you truly have a disconnect, Now, before you choose to be offended at these remarks let me continue. This is the end statement from the agenda today. A statement that would lead us the people at first to believe there is no impact monetarily. What is this double talk? This is why you have no trust with the people. "This report has no budgetary impact, but the salary increase will result in an increase in the City Manager's budget in the current fiscal year and the upcoming fiscal year." Of course there is a budgetary expense. You have to raise someone's salary to replace another. The person making this report is taking time out of the day to research and complete the report where they could have spent time on something else. Mr. Zapata will be compensated and time and energy has to be spent catching the interim up on the job that the acting manager was doing. Please stop trying to act as if this matter isn't vital to the internal business engine of Anaheim and its domino effect. The fact that only a short while ago you praised the work of Zapata and gave him the reins to execute the $15 mil.(reserve funds) dispense plan that he was supposed to come up with. You told the city of Anaheim that Zapata was the one you trusted. Some of you routinely say you are part time. You said mayor you have the idea but staff takes care of the details. Oh yes we listen and some of us believe what you say and take what you say verbatim. The forcing out of Zapata was a misstep and not advisable during this Covid crisis. Anaheim will be deficit spending next year. I move on to item #13 This is another example where you show that you are out of touch with your constituents. The only one month reprieve doesn't go far enough to help our renters. Even if people start to work today they will not be able to earn enough to get on their feet so quickly. I also need to point out that in your plan you give renters only four months to pay back their deferments. However you give businesses 5 years! We love our small business owners and wish them to get back on their feet but there is inequity in this equation. Renters need much more than 4 months which would double their rent payments. I don't want to accuse you of gentrifying this city but here is a perfect example of just how this will happen! Item #14 Simple and clear. The 1 mil. should come from the 6.5 mil. allocated to Visit Anaheim. It makes no sense to take money from the folks that need it to the folks that do not. Mr. Mayor and council majority. You are not fooling anyone. No one believes that Visit Anaheim needs 6.5 million to survive this pandemic crisis. Its unbalanced and as hard as you try with your commercials and speeches. No one believes it to be true. Your residents are looking to you for leadership and you have let them down. Your homeowners and renters alike are looking to you for help. They are getting food from food pantries,some for the first time in their lives. They are scared. You have shown them irresponsible government and inequitable choices that lead one to conclude that you care more for the business community more than the residents. You care more for the tourist children than you care for the Anaheim children. Where is the money being spent? What is your plan? What are the expenditures? Where is the transparency? We need masks, we need testing facilities in place. WE NEED A PLAN. What is the overall plan to re -open this city? Who have you been collaborating with ? Have you been talking to experts? What are the facts? History has proved in the past that when people in power underestimate the people,well, you know how the story ends. Do right by the people council and put the people first.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need —food, shelter, and other essential supplies —during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are there to hire people back and be part of the recovery. I thank you for your efforts on behalf of our city in these unprecedented times, and i* urge you to support vote for item 14 on the May 5 Council meeting agenda. Thank you!

At the beginning of this crisis in March, Mayor Sidhu and the Anaheim City Council took decisive action to tide the city through and move to plan for a recovery boom. With at least 50,000 of 170,000 jobs in the city put on hold, people are hurting. The city has enacted an emergency, temporary moratorium on commercial and residential evictions to give apartment dwellers and business some breathing room as we move toward re -opening. I am in support of the Council assisting with funding on a program that will be utilized to help residents with rental repayments when the moratorium ends. The Anaheim Resort won't snap back to full capacity all by itself. It's vital we position ourselves now to garner business and expand market share when the economy re -opens. I support and appreciate the city council for recognizing what Visit Anaheim contributes to Anaheim. Despite a nearly two-thirds reduction in staff, Visit Anaheim has already booked new major events for the Convention Center for when the crisis is over. The Response and Recovery COVID-19 Task Force of Anaheim are using Zoom conference calls to coordinate with Mayor Sidhu's office to distribute real- time assistance information, coordinate security to keep workplaces safe, connect management and workers to government assistance and protect residents from evictions or having utilities shut off. This is a great example of our government and businesses working for the people of Anaheim. Lastly, as a temporary economic relief measure, the Council's original action waived fees and penalties for any payor that opted to defer TOT during the COVID-19 crisis. This action would also temporarily relieve payors of paying interest should they defer TOT payments. I strongly support a continuation of this action. Thank for considering my opinion.

I appreciate Mayor Sidhu's and the Council's leadership this March in quickly approving the $15 million plan to help assist Anaheim residents in need and position our local economy for rapid recovery. The $8 million in community assistance helped ensure Anaheim's most vulnerable residents have the resources they need —food, shelter, and other essential supplies — during the COVID-19 shutdown. Tapping Anaheim Convention Center reserves to keep a streamlined Visit Anaheim at work puts us in a strong position to jumpstart our tourism economy, once the stay-at-home orders are lifted and people can travel again. This will rapidly put people back to work and start generating vital city tax revenue. Extending the eviction moratorium for one more month provides additional assurance to those facing uncertainty. Providing $3 million for rental repayment assistance helps both tenants and landlords once the temporary eviction moratorium expires, and back rent becomes due. The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work.

The additional $1 million for community assistance programs will enable the Anaheim Community Foundation to continue sustaining community non -profits in their vital work. Just like the state is allowing retailers hurt by this crisis to delay paying sales tax they have collected without penalty and interest, the proposed temporary waiver of payments, penalties and interest on TOT payments is timely relief for Anaheim hotels suffering from record low occupancy rates and revenues. Every bit helps them stay in business, so they are thereto hire people back and be part of the recovery. I thank you for your efforts on behalf of our city in these unprecedented times, and I urge you to support vote for item 14 on the May 5 Council meeting agenda. Thank you!
