by hosting college and high school interns, attending career fairs, job shadowing, mentoring,
City Council Minutes of February 15, 2022

promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and sharing their stories, in
hopes of inspiring the next generation. He reported jobs for civil engineers in California are expected
to increase by 6.4% between 2018 and 2028, creating 3,300 jobs. He encouraged residents
interested in an engineering career to reach out for advice and provided his phone number and email.
ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDAS:
City Clerk Theresa Bass reported the noticed TEFRA Public Hearing Item No. 21 was withdrawn at
the request of the developer.
PUBLIC COMMENTS [all agenda items]:
City Clerk Theresa Bass reported that a total of two (2) public comments were received electronically
prior to 2:30 P.M. related to City Council agenda items and matters within the jurisdiction of the
Anaheim City Council. [A final total of 2 public comments were received electronically, distributed to
the City Council, and made part of the official record]. — See Appendix.
Prior to receipt of public comments, an outline of rules for public comments and a brief decorum
statement was provided by Ms. Bass.
Cecil Jordan Corkern, Outreach Homeless Ministries, read from the Bible, reported the Walt Disney
Company was caught in the Supreme Court of the United States, and announced that the next
meeting would be on March 1. He stated he collected the history of those who created the Walt
Disney Company's theme parks and reported there is pornography in Pixar Animation Studios' films.
He stated he prays for the Council every day.
Mark Richard Daniels celebrated the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl championship. He reported
Disneyland has removed its mask mandate and noted Mayor Pro Tern O'Neil was not wearing a
mask. He called for more transparency in the City, expressing concerns about losing the public's
trust. He stated the public would always eventually see things the government is hiding. He called for
an opening of the books to understand what the public needs to see to maintain the trust that led to
each of their elections.
Mike Robbins discussed corporatocracy as a political system and stated wealthy individuals and
billion -dollar corporations are a danger to society. He accused Mayor Sidhu, Mayor Pro Tern O'Neil,
and Council Members Faessel, Valencia, Diaz, and Ma'ae of being traitors. He reported they
collectively received millions of dollars in bribes to buy their allegiance to the anti -democracy
corporatocracy. He lauded the benefits of democracy in a healthy and independent society, but
believed those ideals were imaginary in Anaheim. He stated Anaheim's elections are manipulated by
greed and a lack of integrity and do not supply the public with confidence in the leadership of its
institutions.
Jeannine Robbins noted another day seemed to bring another lawsuit for the City with the latest
coming from Grandma's House of Hope, an operator of transitional houses for formerly -homeless
women. She stated the property in question was perfect for Grandma's House of Hope's proposal
and reported local realtor Paul Kott and Assembly Member Tom Daly mobilized neighborhood
residents to object the project with hatred and prejudice. She noted many residents previously
complained about an oversaturation of short-term rentals but noted this problem leads back to the
Council Members who are influenced by short-term rental owners. She questioned why Grandma's
House of Hope applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) since she believed it is not required by
State law, but provided the Council an opportunity to deny the project. She stated Mayor Sidhu and
City Council Minutes of February 15, 2022
Page 3 of 11
City Attorney Rob Fabela have superseded State laws to make their own laws. She stated she is
rooting for Grandma's House of Hope so the facility can do so much good and expressed hope that
the operator gets a large settlement from the City, despite the fact that residents like herself would
foot the bill for the Council's illegal actions.
Eric Sauvey noted several Council Members were not paying attention to previous speakers. He
expressed concerns about street racing in District 2. He thanked Council Member Ma'ae for
forwarding his email to the Anaheim Police Department (APD), and receiving a response. He stated
he was worried about the late -night situation at the Starbucks Coffee location at the corner of Ball
Road and Brookhurst Street. He reported a race on January 30 with a City of Santa Ana police officer
in attendance who said they do not have enough people to control these situations and
acknowledged he was afraid of the situation that could occur if he went in alone. He stated this
speaks terribly of his neighborhood. He called for a good place to live, safety, and a good night's
sleep, adding this should not be too much to ask for. He stated the initial response he received from
APD about enforcement was abrupt and rude.
Mayor Sidhu requested Mr. Sauvey and Police Chief Jorge Cisneros meet in the back of the
Council Chambers to see how the APD could help.
Wes Jones stated it was humorous that the City sent out a message with Mayor Sidhu supporting the
Los Angeles Rams, noting the team name of the Anaheim Angels being renamed the Los Angeles
Angels. He reported seeing Council Members at a recent groundbreaking for a new homeless shelter
but noted former Mayor Tom Tait was not invited despite all he had to do for the shelter. He added
neither himself nor any other members of the Anaheim People's Homeless Task Force were invited,
and believed it was a shame because there would be no shelters without their lawsuits. He stated the
Council only approved a shelter to get numbers low enough where the Police cold start pushing the
homeless around again.
Vance Dizney congratulated the Anaheim cheerleaders for Women's Appreciation Month. He
displayed architectural schematics of his idea for an adjustable center divider on the City's freeways
with a high -voltage arc system that prisoners can work on. He reported the City of Los Angeles would
be promoting this design.
Bryan Kaye thanked Council Member Faessel for his greeting from a parade float. He alleged the
Police Department uses racial slurs, demeaning the City's commemoration of National Holocaust Day
and Black History Month. He called for a better response to racism, reporting a Pennsylvania city's
entire fire department is on a 30-day hold due to the use of racist language. He spoke of reliving
physical and mental trauma inflicted on him by the Police Department.
Vern Nelson questioned if Mr. Fabela or the Council Members, other than Council Member Moreno,
have read the Brown Act. He quoted the Brown Act about disclosure of confidential information from
a Closed Section as it relates to illegal actions and believed the Council disdains both the residents
and the law. He questioned why Anaheim is the only Orange County city without video-conferenced
meetings or at least a hybrid model when it has more money than the other cities. He reported the
giveaway of Angel Stadium is Mayor Sidhu's payback to those who got him elected in 2018.
Kenneth Batiste reported the value of the Los Angeles Rams franchise increased by almost $2 billion
after the construction of SoFi Stadium even without half of the parking space the Los Angeles Angels
would be receiving through the $150,000,000 Angel Stadium deal. He believed the stadium deal was
fishy. He alleged Mayor Sidhu announces his decisions by reading scripted, pre -written statements
before hearing what residents think. He questioned whether Mayor Sidhu could speak to residents
City Council Minutes of February 15, 2022
Page 4 of 11
without a pre -written statement and added he has no business serving as Mayor if this was the case.
He called on Mayor Sidhu to resign. Mr. Batiste stated lawsuits are the only thing the Council
Members will listen to, reported the lawsuits would cost every resident $1,000, and stated the Council
is selling out its residents.
CITY MANAGER'S UPDATE:
City Manager Jim Vanderpool congratulated Price and Schweitzer Elementary Schools for winning
the Anaheim Public Utilities Sustainable School Award, as both demonstrated a commitment to
efficiency improvements and STEM curriculum on their campuses. He noted the selections were
made by a sub -committee of the Public Utilities Board and that both schools received 30 Energy Star
Chromebooks for use by their students.
He announced a partnership between the Anaheim Public Library and the Anaheim Workforce
Connection to hold a recruitment event for United States Postal Service jobs at the Central Library on
February 24, 11:00 A.M. — 3:00 P.M. He also announced a partnership between the City's Human
Resources Department and Cal State Fullerton to have two City employees participate in a
Leadership Development Cohort Program, where they would receive a certificate, experience
networking opportunities, and develop skills to assist their career and the City.
He recognized East Anaheim Girl Scout Troop 5175 for touring the Main Police Station, Dispatch and
SWAT vehicle with the East Community Policing Team and Patrol 1.

D182 17. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-018 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM modifying the rates, rules and regulations, which do not materially increase
rate -related revenues, for the sale and distribution of electricity as adopted by Resolution No.
71R-478 and most recently amended by Resolution No. 2021-013 and determining that said
actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15273(a) of Title 14 of
the California Code of Regulations.
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-019 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM modifying the rates, rules and regulations, which do not materially increase
rate -related revenues, for the sale and distribution of water as adopted by Resolution No.
72R-600 and most recently amended by Resolution No. 2021-012 and determining that said
actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15273(a) of Title 14 of
the California Code of Regulations.
Mayor Sidhu reported this item updates Anaheim Public Utility (APU) rates and offers residents a
voluntary new green power option. He added it would be open to residents and businesses without
impacting the balance of ratepayers. He added it would also change billing for 800 customers on
time -based schedules and APU does not plan to impose Time of Use (TOU) rates like investor -owned
utilities. He added it would also allow APU to remotely connect and disconnect automated meters as
they are implemented allowing for better efficiency, especially in high -turnover apartments. He
expressed his support for the item.
City Council Minutes of February 15, 2022
Page 8 of 11
Council Member Moreno reported receiving last-minute questions from residents about the item's
impact on rates. He commended APU for transitioning to more sustainable power sources with lower
rates. He added individually switching to residential solar makes little fiscal sense because APU's
rates are already so low.
Public Utilities General Manager General Manager Dukku Lee reported the proposal is to modify
APU's rates, rules, and regulations to allow for more service offerings and keep pace with industry
practices allowing customers flexibility and additional options. He added there were no protests when
the proposal was presented at the Public Utilities Board's public meeting on January 26, 2022. Mr.
Lee reported that as APU becomes more sustainable and the power grid evolves, it has to keep pace
with peak demands which now fall later in the year and during the evening hours. He added this
proposal would not increase the per -unit charges but adjusts the peak period from 1:00-5:00 P.M, to
4:00-9:00 P.M. due to solar dropping off in the early evening. He added the summer months schedule
would shift from June -September to July -October.
Mr. Lee reported APU is investing in more modern metering technology for improved data collection
and outage notifications with the added benefit of reducing vehicular trips and entry to customers'
yards. He added this reflects the increasingly automated nature of the industry. He added this would
not reduce staffing but would offer APU staff flexibility in its ability to help customers through means
like weekend remote connections for apartment move -ins.
Mr. Lee added APU is offering residents and businesses an option to accelerate their adoption of
renewable energy by voluntarily paying an additional amount on their bills. He added the proposal is
structured to accommodate those interested without impacting the balance of customers. He added
there would be a period for APU to procure the amount of renewable energy requested by customers.
He reported APU has heard from customers, although not the majority of them, interested in moving
beyond the State mandates and increasing APU's current portfolio of 35% renewable energy. He
added this would allow APU the ability to procure additional renewable energy on their behalf, getting
those customers to 60% or 100% renewable energy.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno appreciated APU's efficiency and forward -thinking. He added
no rates would be affected and this was publicly noticed before the Public Utilities Board's hearing.
He added this was an example of how having a publicly -owned utility benefits residents.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Lee stated APU offers a free service where a
contractor will go to a customer's home or business to identify consumption patterns and provide
recommendations to lower their bills. He stated residents can do one every five years and
recommended the service, emphasizing that it is free.
Council Member Moreno noted because APU is a public utility, every fee is reinvested in APU and not
directed to shareholders. He stated the shareholders are the residents and Anaheim businesses
benefit from APD's low rates.
MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2022-018 A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM modifying the rates, rules and
regulations, which do not materially increase rate -related revenues, for the sale and distribution of
electricity as adopted by Resolution No. 71 R-478 and most recently amended by Resolution No.

Assembly Bill No. 773
CHAPTER 587
An act to amend Section 21101 of the Vehicle Code, relating to streets.
Approved by Governor October 6, 2021. Filed with Secretary
of State October 6, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 773, Nazarian. Street closures and designations.
Existing law authorizes local authorities to adopt rules and regulations
by ordinance or regulation for highways under their jurisdiction if specified
criteria are met. Under existing law, authorized actions by local authorities
include permanent or temporary highway or street closures under certain
conditions and the designation of a highway as a through highway.
This bill would authorize a local authority to adopt a rule or regulation
by ordinance to implement a slow streets program, which may include
closures to vehicular traffic or through vehicular traffic of neighborhood
local streets with connections to citywide bicycle networks, destinations
that are within walking distance, or green space. The bill would require the
local authority to meet specified conditions to implement a slow street,
including a determination that closure or traffic restriction is necessary for
the safety and protection of persons using the closed or restricted portion
of the street, conducting an outreach and engagement process, and clearly
designating the closure or traffic restriction with specific signage.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 21101 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:
21101. Local authorities, for those highways under their jurisdiction,
may adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution, except as
provided in subdivision (f), on the following matters:
a)Closing any highway to vehicular traffic when, in the opinion of the
legislative body having jurisdiction, the highway is either of the following:
1)No longer needed for vehicular traffic.
2)The closure is in the interests of public safety and all of the following
conditions and requirements are met:
A)The street proposed for closure is located in a county with a
population of 6,000,000 or more.
B)The street has an unsafe volume of traffic and a significant incidence
of crime.
C)The affected local authority conducts a public hearing on the proposed
street closure.
96
D)Notice of the hearing is provided to residents and owners of property
adjacent to the street proposed for closure.
E)The local authority makes a finding that closure of the street likely
would result in a reduced rate of crime.
b)Designating any highway as a through highway and requiring that
all vehicles observe official traffic control devices before entering or crossing
the highway or designating any intersection as a stop intersection and
requiring all vehicles to stop at one or more entrances to the intersection.
c)Prohibiting the use of particular highways by certain vehicles, except
as otherwise provided by the Public Utilities Commission pursuant to Article
2 (commencing with Section 1031) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 1 of
the Public Utilities Code.
d)Closing particular streets during regular school hours for the purpose
of conducting automobile driver training programs in the secondary schools
and colleges of this state.
e)Temporarily closing a portion of any street for celebrations, parades,
local special events, and other purposes when, in the opinion of local
authorities having jurisdiction or a public officer or employee that the local
authority designates by resolution, the closing is necessary for the safety
and protection of persons who are to use that portion of the street during
the temporary closing.
f)Implementing a slow streets program. For purposes of this section, a
slow streets program” may include closures to vehicular traffic or through
vehicular traffic of neighborhood local streets with connections to citywide
bicycle networks; destinations, such as a business district, that are within
walking distance; or green space. A local authority may implement a slow
streets program by adopting an ordinance that provides for the closing of
streets to vehicular traffic or limiting access and speed on a street using
roadway design features, including, but not limited to, islands, curbs, or
traffic barriers. A local authority may implement a slow streets program if
it meets all of the following requirements:
1)Conducts an outreach and engagement process that includes
notification to residents and owners of property abutting any street being
considered for inclusion in the slow streets program.
2)Determines that the closure or traffic restriction leaves a sufficient
portion of the streets in the surrounding area for other public uses, including
vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic.
3)Provides advance notice of the closure or traffic restriction to residents
and owners of property abutting the street.
4)Clearly designates the street closure or traffic restriction with signage
in compliance with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices.
5)Determines that the closure or traffic restriction is necessary for the
safety and protection of persons who are to use that portion of the street
during the closure or traffic restriction.
6)Maintains a publically available internet website with information
about its slow streets program, a list of streets that are included in the
96
2 — Ch. 587
program or are being evaluated for inclusion in the program, and instructions
for participating in the public engagement process.
g)Prohibiting entry to, or exit from, or both, from any street by means
of islands, curbs, traffic barriers, or other roadway design features to
implement the circulation element of a general plan adopted pursuant to
Article 6 (commencing with Section 65350) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of
Title 7 of the Government Code. The rules and regulations authorized by
this subdivision shall be consistent with the responsibility of local
government to provide for the health and safety of its citizens.

COMMENTS:
1) Purpose. According to the author, “S low Streets program has offered children,
families, and constituents throughout the state of California the opportunity to
play, exercise, and socialize, safely, in their own neighborhoods throughout the
pandemic. Enacting AB 773 will give local communities the opportunity to
have safer and more accessible streets that promote healthy neighborhood
recreation, especially during the ongoing public health crisis as AB 773
authorizes local authority to make temporary slow streets permanent slow
streets.”
2) What are slow streets? According to the National Association of City
Transportation Officials (NACTO), slow streets reduce traffic volume and
speed to a minimum so that people can walk, bike, and run safely. Slow streets
typically involve the installation of temporary traffic barriers and “Local
Traffic Only” signs or similar signage at main vehicle entry points, and the
identification of stewards to take care of and monitor barricades. Slow streets
allow local access, deliveries, and emergency vehicles.
Both before and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, cities globally as
well as in California have initiated Slow Streets programs, which are generally
focused on providing safe places for people to walk, cycle, skate, or otherwise
get outside and exercise without having to worry about vehicular traffic at high
speeds.
3) COVID -19 and Active Transportation . According to the California
Transportation Plan 2050 (CTP 2050), a long range transportation plan
developed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) that
provides a blueprint for the future of California transportation, “in the months
following the outbreak of COVID-19, more Americans embraced active travel.
California cities that typically have low bicycle ridership, such as Riverside and
Oxnard, experienced a 90% to 125% increase in bicycle miles traveled.
Stockton, Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento, and San Diego also experienced
increases of more than 50%. Trends suggest that travelers shifted from transit to
active travel when risks increased. In San Francisco, many residents who
needed to make essential trips opted to walk or bike. Recreational biking and
walking have also skyrocketed. The Rails -to -Trails Conservancy observed a
110% increase in trail use compared to the same period in 2019.”
AB 773 (Nazarian) Page 4 of 7
4) California Cities Adopt Slow Streets Programs. In 2020, after Governor
Newsom issued an emergency stay-at-home order for the state and required
social distancing measures for protection from COVID-19, many cities in
California moved to implement temporary Slow Streets programs to help
facilitate alternative mobility and outdoor activity. These cities include Los
Angeles, Sacramento, Oakland, and San Francisco, to name a few. Each city
developed a unique program with common elements including a focus on
neighborhood local streets and establishing network connections for better
mobility. Local authorities either identified streets for possible inclusion in the
program or asked for public nomination and input of streets to include. The
local authorities would erect temporary barriers and signage on the slow streets
to restrict them from traffic or thro ugh traffic and lower vehicle speeds.
For example, Los Angeles launched its Slow Streets program in May 2020.
Eligible organizations would nominate a small network of neighborhood streets
to reduce and slow traffic. A network of eligible streets to be nominated must
be approximately 1-3 miles in length, local or collector streets as identified by
the city’s Mobility Plan 2035 that are primarily residential, and the road
segments should be contiguous to one another and provide connections to
nearby neighborhood destinations.
After vetting applications, the Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) and the
Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) deployed temporary
signage at intersections advising drivers to slow down for people using the
street to exercise. Slow Streets sponsors play an active role by communicating
the project to their neighbors and ensuring barricades and signage are properly
placed throughout the project. Local traffic and parking are still allowed on the
streets.
The city also focused on equity in its deployment of slow streets, noting, “Slow
Streets L.A. set out with the goal to deploy 20 Slow Streets with at least five
within communities most impacted by the lack of open space due to the
pandemic. In Los Angeles, these are typically communities with high
residential density, low access to traditional recreational opportunities,
communities of color, and low income communities.” According to the city ,
demand for Slow Streets remains high with over 427 applications received to
date. LADOT implemented approximately 50 miles of Slow Streets in 30
neighborhoods. In October 2020, the city reached capacity for the program and
paused on implementing new slow streets, and are now focusing efforts and
resources in enhancing the current network.
AB 773 (Nazarian) Page 5 of 7
In launching its Slow Streets program, the City of San Francisco noted, “the
goal of the Slow Streets program is to provide more space for socially distant
essential travel and exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to
support further reopening of the economy, we need to make San Francisco more
welcoming and accessible for people who want to travel on foot, bicycle,
wheelchair, scooter, skateboard or other forms of micro -mobility. Slow Streets
are critical infrastructure that attracts users of the full array of neighbo rhood
demographics —including children, older adults, people with disabilities and
people of color.”
Due to the popularity for the program, the city is now evaluating all of the
streets in the network, with input from residents, to determine which streets
could be made permanent.
Like Los Angeles , San Francisco has developed criteria for its program.
Specifically, the street must be a neighborhood residential street with low traffic
volumes; have strong support from residents living both on the slow street and
overall neighborhood ; have an identified local community partner group to
support the slow street; be consistent with local plans, including the city’s bike
network; and have traffic data evaluation to ensure the slow street does not have
a negative impact on the surrounding transportation network. The city also
maintains a pubic website with maps, details , and policies for the program,
including opportunities for public feedback.
5) AB 773 keeps Slow Streets going. AB 773 would authorize local authorities to
implement a permanent Slow Streets program to provide for the closure or
restriction of vehicular traffic on neighborhood local streets. The streets
eligible would provide connections to citywide bicycle networks ; destinations ,
such as business districts; and green space. The local authorities would have to
adopt the program by ordinance, with requirements to define the program and
facilitate pubic engagement. Specifically, the locality must determine the
closure or restriction is necessary for the safety and protection on the people
who are to use that portion of the street, determine that the closure or restriction
leaves a sufficient portion of streets in the surrounding area for other public
uses, such as vehicular traffic; and clearly designates the streets with state-
approved signage.
And to better engage the public, the locality must conduct an outreach and
engagement process that at a minimum, includes notification to the residents
and owners of property abutting any street being considered for inclusion in the
program; provide advance notice of any closure or traffic restriction to residents
and owners of abutting streets; maintain a public website with information
AB 773 (Nazarian) Page 6 of 7
about the program, including a list of streets that are in the program or being
considered and instructions for participating in the public engagement process.
6) Arguments in support. According to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, the
sponsor of the bill, “the City’s program launched in May 2020 and now has
more than 50 miles of temporary Slow Streets across 30 neighborhoods. Each
Slow Street is a partnership between the City and a local sponsor, with many
Slow Streets located in low-income communities with dense housing and poor
access to parks. The largest Slow Streets installation is in Koreatown, the
densest neighborhood with the lowest park access per capita. Providing
Angelenos access to safe spaces for fresh air has been essential to mental and
physical health throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and community response
to our program has been extremely positive. The Slow Streets installations have
been imperative in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring community
well-being.
Under current law, Slow Streets programs must be temporary. However, due
to the overwhelming demand for the installations, a permanent program would
allow the City to develop a plan to reach more residents while still prioritizing
their safety. Furthermore, the ability to restrict vehicle access, which requires
authorization from the California Vehicle Code, would calm neighborhood -
level traffic and improve safety. This bill would support our most vulnerable
communities at this critical time without any fiscal impact on the State. AB 773
simply provides cities the opportunity to exercise traff ic control actions at their
discretion and expense.”
RELATED LEGISLATION:
