CITY MANAGER'S UPDATE:
City Manager Jim Vanderpool provided an update on waste hauling services following last
week's service disruption. Republic Services has caught up on residential routes with
operations at 100% staffing in Anaheim; given the volume, residents may still see delays and
are asked to leave bins out if they are not picked up on their scheduled day, so they can be
picked up on the following day. Apartment/Townhome communities, as well as business
communities, are at 90% service and haulers are working to get caught up. During the work
stoppage, the City pressed for contingencies for pick-up at priority sites and neighborhoods.
City of Anaheim was the only impacted city to see this level of contingency service during the
strike, but at the same time, the City urged and expressed support for a fair and reasonable
solution that restored services as soon as possible.
Mr. Vanderpool announced the City's Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget was awarded the
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from Government Finance Officers Association for
the 21 st consecutive year. He further reported that the Finance Department successful closed
the refunding of the 2014 Convention Center Expansion Bonds; the City was able to achieve
better than anticipated results with a $25,700,000 net present value savings, 11.1 %, which will
save the General Fund almost $2,000,000 every year. He announced that Anaheim Public
Utilities was recognized and rewarded with two Sustainability Awards: Honorable Mention for
