Good morning Mayor Sidhu and City Council Members.
I have worked in Anaheim for over 30 years and have lived in a historic home (the 1897 Rea House) in District 3 for the past 11
years. I was the Vice President of the Anaheim Historical Society and current President of the Anaheim Fall Festival and Halloween
Parade (a tradition nearly 100 years old). I am also a co-founder of Greenbird Anaheim, where we organize monthly community clean
up events throughout our city, some of you have participated in those.
For me history matters. Tradition matters and building a strong community around those tent poles matter. I wholeheartedly agree
with my neighbors that losing yet another cultural and historic structure in our downtown would be devastating for the community.
We have only a select handful of them left as it is. Please support and approve the Housing Agenda Item 1 and City Council Agenda
item 14 on Tuesday, April, 27.
Thank you for your support and service,
Jody Daily
