Council Communications/Agenda Requests:
Council Member Ma’ae believed the discussion and vote on Item No. 3 was disrespectful to staff and
thanked staff for their work. She thanked staff and community and professional volunteers for their
efforts at the Anaheim Health Fair held November 6-7, 2021 at the Anaheim Convention Center, where
many residents received needed health care services. She reported her attendance last Saturday with
Council Member O’Neil at a tree dedication organized by the Assistance League honoring former Council
Member Shirley McCracken, and thanked Ms. McCracken for her dedication to the City. With upcoming
family gatherings for Thanksgiving, she wished everyone a joyous celebration and encouraged all to
spread gratitude and kindness in any way they could. She wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
Council Member O’Neil stated it was an honor to recognize Shirley McCracken’s contribution to the
community. He expressed surprise that the bond refinancing item became controversial when it would
save about $1,500,000 per year to be redirected to neighborhoods. He noted there were several
Executive Orders enacted to help business survive during the pandemic, including outdoor dining,
relaxed signage restrictions, and streamlined special event permitting, that would be expiring by the end
of January 2022. He thanked Planning staff for bringing some recommendations regarding outdoor
dining to the Planning Commission, but believed a closer and more robust review was warranted to
determine whether any or all should be extended or codified. He requested that he and two other
Council Members of the Mayor’s choosing work together with staff to review the Executive Orders and
any other potential Code changes, such as easing the operation of certain home-based businesses,
licensing fee schedules, and parking flexibility, and bring back an agenda item to review
recommendations prior to the expiration of the Executive Orders, concurred by Council Members Diaz
and Ma’ae.
Mayor Pro Tem Faessel requested to adjourn the meeting in memory of Anaheim Public Works
employee, Antonio “Tony” Ureño, and former Public Utilities Board and Parks and Recreation
Commission member John Elwell. He reported his attendance, with Mayor Sidhu and Council Members
Valencia and O’Neil, at the Linda Vista Groundwater Treatment Project groundbreaking, recognized the
10 November 16, 2021
Water Division employees, and stated that Anaheim Water began in 1879 and has been providing
exemplary service ever since. He noted his attendance at a Katella Boys Basketball fundraising event,
the opening of Epic Wings at the corner of La Palma Ave. and State College Blvd., and a manufacturing
event in the City of Orange showcasing alternative career paths for local students. He reported Reborn
Cabinets had their Baths for the Brave event where they built a new bathroom in one day for a local
veteran, Marine Sgt. David Castidio. He recognized the City’s Veterans Day event, although he was
unable to attend, and thanked Wincome Hospitality for facilitating a furniture distribution to a number of
needy areas in the City. He wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
Council Member Valencia noted his attendance with colleagues at the city’s Veterans Day event and
thanked veterans for their service and sacrifice. He congratulated the Katella High School football team
for making it to the CIF quarterfinals and also congratulated Loara High School football for representing
the City in the CIF semifinals. He invited everyone to the District 4 Tacos with a Cop at 4:00 P.M. on
November 17, 2021 at Tacos Los Cholos located at South St. and State College Blvd. and wished all a
blessed Thanksgiving holiday.
Council Member Diaz displayed a picture of a police officer sweeping the corner of Beach Blvd. and Ball
Rd., thanked the Mayor, Police, and city staff for their efforts, and noted Beach Blvd. would be much
different in a few years because of the citywide push to improve the area. He announced the Nutcracker
Christmas Tree Lighting and Holiday Village to be held in downtown Anaheim on Saturday, December 4,
2021, including crafts and activities for residents all day. He expressed his gratitude for his colleagues,
staff, and his family and wished all a Happy Thanksgiving.
Mayor Sidhu expressed his pleasure to welcome back the free Anaheim Health Fair on November 6 and
7, specifically thanking Dr. Nathan Chau, the Anekant Community Center, dedicated providers,
volunteers, and event sponsors, the Anaheim Convention Center, and staff for making it a success. He
noted that 1,055 patients received free physical, dental, and vision care and expressed his honor to have
introduced this event while a Council Member and that it is now an important Anaheim tradition. He
reported that last Thursday, November 11, he had to honor to participate in the return of the Anaheim
Veterans Ceremony, thanking all those who made it a special occasion and thanked veterans and their
loved ones for their service. He expressed his pleasure to participate in the Anaheim Public Utilities
Linda Vista PFAS Treatment groundbreaking ceremony, to help ensure safe, clean drinking water for the
entire City, and thanked General Manager Dukku Lee and staff for the great educational experience for
Katella and Loara high school students and for water innovation. He wished all a safe and happy
Thanksgiving and wished the Jewish community a happy Hanukkah celebration. Regarding Council
