ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDAS: City Clerk Theresa Bass announced that staff requested the withdrawal of Item No. 15, the Second Amendment with Anaheim Transportation Network. She also announced for Item No. 18 that staff submitted a memo and revised First Amendment with
Townsend Public Affairs to change the term to an additional 30 days with a not to exceed amount of $5,000 and noted the memo and revised amendment had been distributed to Council and posted to the City’s website.
Mayor Pro Tem O’Neil, without objection, took the agenda out of order and heard Council Communications/Agenda Requests prior to the remainder of the agenda. Council Communications/Agenda Requests:
Mayor Pro Tem O’Neil noted this was a painful and challenging moment for the City with a long recovery ahead, but today was a new day with the resignation of former Mayor Harry Sidhu. Mayor Pro Tem O’Neil stated that continued public outrage was understandable and part of the recovery process, but assured residents that the City continues to serve without pausing, including trash pick-up, pothole
repairs, and public safety actions. To City employees, he stated that the Council and administrative leaders are working through the challenge and that the work staff does is the vital continuity needed during a crisis, encouraging them to hold their heads high. In terms of the FBI affidavit, he confirmed he
was “Elected Official 3” and noted that he attended meetings with the Chamber and with other stakeholders, in his official capacity as a Council Member, on a variety of issues. He recalled attending the meeting on December 2, 2020, but left before it ended, and stated they discussed the economic
recovery of the City, vaccine rollouts, the payoff of the LPMR bonds, and how to leverage that revenue to invest in challenged neighborhoods. He also recalled the Mayor, Council Member Faessel, and the City Manager as in attendance. He takes these issues seriously and one of his first actions was to formally call for the Mayor’s resignation, noting he has only worked in the best interest of those he represents. Mayor Pro Tem believed anyone who supported his as a candidate did so for his support of a strong Anaheim economy, but to mitigate any perception of impropriety, he returned campaign donations received from any entity and associated individually referenced in the FBI affidavit. He continues to support actions that will help the City move past this and looked forward to hearing from the community and discussing with his colleagues the best path forward regarding the stadium. He requested two agenda items for the next meeting: 1) a revision of Council Policy 1.6 related to regular meeting agenda setting to eliminate or revise the need to have the support of two additional Council Members to put forth
an agenda item for consideration, concurred by Council Members Faessel and Moreno; and 2) a revision to the Council Meeting rules and procedures to change the order of business on the agenda to hear
4 May 24, 2022
Council Communications following Public Comment and have a new item towards the end of the agenda for Agenda Requests, concurred by Council Members Faessel and Ma’ae.
Council Member Valencia noted that yesterday was an uplifting day in the City, as in light of the FBI investigation, he was glad to see Mayor Sidhu do the right thing and resign. He thanked his colleagues for joining in asking for the mayor’s resignation. He believed that any individual who commits those types of actions has no business holding public positions and requested, if there was no objection, the immediate removal of Harry Sidhu from any appointed position he may still hold, such as regional boards, water, boards, etc. City Attorney Robert Fabela noted the item could be agendized but not acted
upon today, as it was not currently agendized. He further explained that the representative on the Orange County Transportation Authority has to be an elected official so that removal was a matter of course and that the City Clerk was reviewing any other boards and would bring back any needed actions at the next meeting. Council Member Valencia requested it as formal agenda item, concurred by Council Members Faessel and Diaz. He believed this was a good first step in removing corruption in Anaheim, but also felt that the dais owed it to residents to investigate how deep this actually goes and part of their
fiduciary responsibility is to ensure tax dollars and assets are maximized for the sole benefit of residents and the City. He questioned what other contracts may be in jeopardy of being void due to Mayor Sidhu’s activities and requested an audit of all contracts with entities that provided campaign contributions to Mayor Sidhu. Council Member Moreno asked for clarification because he requested that last week and believed it may already be occurring under the City Manager’s authority. City Attorney Robert Fabela explained that if a Council Member agendizes an item, they could later withdraw it if found unnecessary. Council Member Valencia wished to proceed with the request, as a fail-safe, concurred by Council Members Moreno and Diaz. He noted the months ahead would not be easy but it was their responsibility to see it through for transparency, governance, and Anaheim.
Council Member Faessel was pleased that the Mayor chose to do the right thing. He noted this was an unprecedented situation and they need to restore the community’s trust, which would start tonight through their commitment to try to do the right thing as they get into the agenda items. He requested Mayor Pro Tem O’Neil close the memory of 14 elementary school kids and a teacher who were murdered in a Texas school shooting today. He also requested the meeting close for retired Senior
Water Operator Paul Gafner, age 62, who retired in 2020 after a 21-year career. He requested a Council recognition of U.S. Postal Carrier Esther Perez, at the request of resident Terry Johnson, who provided life-saving assistance when she saw Mr. Johnson lose consciousness and crash his car, concurred by
Council Members Ma’ae and Valencia.
Council Member Ma’ae expressed gratitude that the Mayor made the right decision to step down. She stated it meant they were able to move forward with the business at hand, there was much to do in the
City, and she looked forward to working with her colleagues on behalf of the residents and helping the City heal from this horrible time. She shared photographs of her participation on Saturday at the Children’s Art Festival at Pearson Park and thanked the Muzeo and City staff, particularly the Community Services Department, for a great event full of activities and entertainment. She thanked everyone that took part in the event. She shared that her heartfelt pain goes out to the families in Texas and she has a thinking about tragedies and sadness throughout the country and the City. She asked to keep the parents in prayer.
Council Member Diaz announced that Alonso Salinas emigrated from Peru seven years ago and has made his American Dream a reality by opening a restaurant, Ceviche 19, at Euclid Street and Katella Avenue, and encouraged all to try the excellent Peruvian food and help a fellow resident. He reported hearing from constituents with concerns about homeless individuals at Maxwell Park and shared that he
shares the concerns and is working with staff to legally address any issues. He announced the upcoming Rebuild Beach Community Meeting on May 26 at 6:00 P.M. at Dale Junior High School, the Rebuild Beach Business Watch Meeting on May 31 at 6:00 P.M. at the West Anaheim Youth Center, and the
Neighborhood District Community Meeting for District Nos. 1 and 2 on June 1 at 7:00 P.M. at Dale Junior High School.
5 May 24, 2022
Council Member Moreno congratulated the Anaheim High School baseball team for playing an incredible game of 11 innings in the CIF championship game, noting their resiliency and teamwork, and expressing pride in their performance. He acknowledged Jillian Albayati, the first female pitcher to start in a CIF championship who was also unanimously named her league’s MVP. With the ongoing FBI investigation, he believed the resignation of Harry Sidhu was a necessary, but insufficient step, in moving forward and believe Council needed to focus on the larger, systemic issue of the effects of money pervading elections and protecting donors over residents. He referred to the affidavit showing that Mayor Sidhu tried to rush the deal to secure a $1,000,000 campaign donation and believed this was the tip of the iceberg of the small cadre of individuals controlling the City. He believed it was a worst kept secret about the millions of dollars from large entities creating corruption in local elections and the body politic, and reported that in 2017 he privately and publically asked then-president of the Disneyland Resort, Josh D’Amaro, to pull
out of Anaheim politics and financing PACs and candidates, which they refused to do. He asked again, now, for large entities to please cease financing PACs in the City. As a member who has not received nor solicited big donations and declined them when offered, he noted that good substantive campaigns
could be run without big money, which is also why he felt districts were so important to that not-heavily financed candidates could have a chance. He reported that as of January 2022, SOAR had raised over a quarter million dollars, with a Disney donation of over $750,000. He requested that rather than use that
money on campaigns, they could donate to student scholarships, to the Anaheim Union High School District’s AIME mentoring program, or the development of community gardens. He also noted that many donations had been provided by the Anaheim Police Association and the Anaheim Fire Association and asked public safety officers to ask their leaders to stop such donations. He expressed concerns that lobbyists and leaders representing public safety may be identified as part of the cabal and looked forward to seeing the full scope of problem. He requested that anyone that participated in this situation come forward, noted it violates ethics training, and expected full cooperation with all investigations and audits to work together for stronger safeguards. He reported that last week he visited high school government classes and the questions asked by the students included: What safeguards will be put in place to make sure this will not happen again? How many others on the Council were involved with the cabal? Why can’t we have another public swimming pool in Anaheim? He noted that on May 17 he requested an
independent investigation, believing that everyone deserved it. He reintroduced and asked to agendize for June 7 a campaign finance reform ordinance including that any Council Member has to recuse themselves for 12 months from any votes benefiting a campaign donor of $250 or more, including PACs; any member so recused is prohibited from attempting to influence donations; limiting campaign fundraising to the year of the election; and limiting debt relief fundraising to six months after an election. He also wished to add a ban on contributions from any vendor who has a contract with the City. The
agenda request was concurred by Council Member Faessel and Mayor Pro Tem O’Neil. Regarding the Angel Stadium deal, he believed it was not made in the best interests of the residents, there was strong evidence from the FBI that Mayor Sidhu gave the Angels private and confidential information, and there was the notice from the State that the deal violated the Surplus Land Act, so he believed the minimum that should be done is to withdraw from the deal and he asked the City Attorney to immediately void the deal.
PUBLIC COMMENTS (all agenda items, except public hearing): 58 speakers. City Clerk Theresa Bass reported 100 public comments were received electronically prior to 6:00 P.M. (Total of 130 public comments received via email). Public Comments Submitted – May 24, 2022 City Council Meeting (limited to 90 minutes, or until all agenda item speakers have been heard; any time remaining shall be

CITY MANAGER’S UPDATE: City Manager Jim Vanderpool reported, based on comments at the
last meeting and over the last week, that the following immediate administrative actions were being taken. Regarding the Chamber of Commerce, the City has no current contracts and staff will pause all interactions with the Chamber and suspend all future financial commitments and sponsorships.
6 May 24, 2022
Regarding Anaheim First, staff will freeze work on Anaheim First and will seek Council direction on next steps.
In response to Council Member Moreno’s previous request, Mr. Vanderpool reported he was working with the City Clerk’s office and Finance Department’s Purchasing Division to identify any contracts with the former mayor’s campaign contributors and if those contributors have current City contracts, noting the information would be made public soon.
Mr. Vanderpool noted that staff is committed to act on and implement any direction from City Council regarding investigations, audits, and other inquiries, so he would be placing this item on the next agenda to seek further direction on how to proceed.
Council Member Moreno thanked the City Manager for his report and actions.
