Elisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development, explained Item A 15 was to
approve HUD grants for allocation to Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) HOME
and Emergency Shelter Grants budgets. Staff had made recommendations to the advisory
committee for the distribution of those dollars and the committee had reviewed and made
recommendations to the City Council. Ms. Stipkovich identified the differences between staff's
suggestions for use of the funds and the advisory committee's recommendations. The advisory
committee recommended reducing both the community policing budget and the code
enforcement budget by $100,000 and dispensing the $200,000 evenly to the four neighborhood
councils.
Council Member Chavez explained he would like to reduce both community policing and
neighborhood councils budgets by $50,000 each for a total of $100,000 and to allocate the
$100,000 evenly to the 10 non-profit community organizations having gone through the advisory
committee application process.
Mayor Pringle addressed the impact to the City budget of changes in the disposition of block
grant funds. He stated the City had a $16,000,000 shortfall this year and departments were
requested to make cuts, 2.5% this year and 2.5% for the next fiscal year. He commented that
staff had recommended using a larger portion of block grant dollars for community policing and
code enforcement inspections. The Mayor stated that the advisory committee had already
reduced each of those areas by $100,000 and he would be more receptive to the request if
neighborhood council dollars were utilized rather than community policing funds.
Council Member Hernandez recognized community policing and code enforcement as high
priorities and was not supportive of any budget reductions in those areas.
Council Member Tait was supportive of the request remarking that the community policing
budget had increased significantly for the next fiscal year.
Council Member Chavez moved to decrease the funding for community policing and
neighborhood councils by $50,000 each and the $100,000 to be evenly distributed to the ten
non-profit organizations identified through the advisory committee process, seconded by
Council Member Tait.
Council Member McCracken indicated she was not supportive of decreasing funding for the
neighborhood councils as the use of those funds were identified for needed infrastructure
replacements.
Roll Call vote: Ayes - 2; Council Member Chavez and Tait. Noes - 3, Mayor Pringle and
Council Members McCracken and Hernandez. Motion failed.
The City Manager remarked Anaheim was losing federal funding for eight grant-funded police
officers and part of the increase in the community policing budget was to offset that loss. Mayor
Pringle affirmed there were more block grant dollars available this year than last because there
were more areas in which to qualify and was one of the reasons community policing and code
enforcement had been earmarked in this manner.
Council Member McCracken moved the recommended action; seconded by Council Member
Tait. Council Member Chavez suggested a compromise and moved a substitute motion to
reduce the neighborhood council budget by $50,000 and to distribute those funds evenly to the

ten non-profit organizations identified by the advisory committee, seconded by Council Member
Tail.
As a point of clarification, Mayor Pringle indicated Council had been operating from the advisory
committee recommendations, not the staff recommendation. Ms. Stipkovich additionally
clarified there were nine non-profit groups, rather than ten, and those groups were Anaheim
YMCA, Anaheim Interfaith Shelter, Anaheim Boys and Girls Club, Care R Us, Disney Goals,
East African Community of Orange County, Feedback Foundation, Institute for Research in
Urban Development and Youth Employment Services. Mayor Pringle clarified that Council was
considering the CDAC (Community Development Advisory Committee) recommendation and
Council Member Chavez's motion was to reduce the neighborhood council total budget
identified in the advisory committee recommendation by $45,000 and distributing $5,000 to each
of the nine community-based groups. Roll Call vote: Ayes - 3; Mayor Pringle and Council
Members Chavez and Tail. Noes - 2; Council Members McCracken and Hernandez. Motion
