Authorize an amendment of Anaheim Public Utilities' Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget, increasing D182 appropriations by $48,000,000 for power supply expenses, which are recovered through corresponding wholesale revenue and do not require customer rate increases. Public Utilities General Manager Dukku Lee reported the item is a recommendation to amend the Anaheim Public Utilities (APU) Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget, increasing appropriations by $48,000,000 for power supply expenses, which are recovered through corresponding wholesale revenue and do not require customer rate increases. He explained the increases are in large part to a significant price increase in natural gas. He reported that because APU has enough supply to meet customers' needs, it supplies wholesale energy for any excess energy when needed by the state grid operator. He explained it is important to note that APU does not profit from selling wholesale energy and is highly regulated. He noted that since the increased expenses are offset by increased wholesale revenue, there is no impact on Anaheim customers. DISCUSSION: Council Member Leon reported he pulled the item to highlight that this will not result in any customer rate increases but is to support the overall power grid. Council Member Diaz expressed support for the item and noted it is a genius idea to sell energy back to the state.

Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava reported meeting with Superintendent Michael Matsuda regarding the Anaheim Unified School District's (AUSD) Anaheim's Innovative Mentoring Experience Program (AIME) program and believes there is much opportunity to work with Workforce Development to focus City Council Minutes of April 18, 2023 Page 12 of 19 on Anaheim initiatives. She noted many students are going outside of the city for apprentice programs and internships and encouraged a better partnership. Housing & Community Development Department Director Grace Ruiz-Stepter confirmed the City has a strong relationship with AUSD. She explained the City has access to California for All grant which is specifically used to link Anaheim's youth with local businesses. She noted it also provided soft skills training such as resume writing.

Housing & Community Development Department Director Grace Ruiz-Stepter reported the item is to approve a Cooperation Agreement between the City of Anaheim and the Anaheim Housing Authority for the North Harbor Anaheim Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Project formerly known as Studio 6 Motel. She explained it also authorizes the Director of Housing & Community Development to execute and administer the agreement and to authorize de minimis changes that do not substantially change the terms and conditions of the Cooperation Agreement. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter reported in December 2021, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (State HCD) released a Notice of Funding Availability for the Homekey Program. She explained the program is an opportunity for Housing Authorities and cities to purchase hotels or other appropriate buildings to advance housing for persons experiencing homelessness in an expedited manner. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter reported the Housing Authority and Linc Housing Corporation put forth a proposal to acquire the Studio 6 Motel. She explained that the conditions for receiving Homekey funds are to go into a permanent location within 12 months or operate the location as an interim shelter. She reported the site has been activated as an interim shelter but with the long-term goal to have it offered as permanent supportive housing. She explained that to move to PSH, the site needs extensive rehabilitation which will be requested through the States' Tax Credit Allocation Committee. She noted local resources will also be coming from the HOME program. City Council Minutes of April 18, 2023 Page 13 of 19 Ms. Ruiz-Stepter explained the item before City Council is to request approval to issue a preliminary award letter to the developer which will allow them to apply for tax credits to obtain the bulk of the funds for the full remodel. She noted the item also requests a transfer of funds into the Housing Authority so it can be completed as the Housing Authority. She explained the developer intends to finance the project with a combination of funding sources including $21.16 million from the Tax Credit Allocation Committee and $3.85 million from a private lender. She advised the developer will apply for 9% Tax Credits in April 2023, and if awarded, would be notified of the award by July 2023. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter explained that while funding is being received from a variety of State resources the City will be providing a loan of up to $4.9 million funded in whole or part from HOME -American Rescue Plan (HOME -ARP) funds. She noted the development cost for the entire project is estimated at $59 million. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired if this is a developer the City has worked with in the past. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter confirmed the developer is new to Anaheim but has an extensive portfolio and a successful inquiry. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava explained that the loan to the developer is what caught her attention. She inquired about additional details about the initial grant received by the State. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter confirmed the City received a $26 million grant from HUD/s Homekey Program. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired who will operate the facility once it is rehabilitated. Ms. Ruiz- Stepter reported Linc Housing Corporation will be the developer and operator along with American Family Housing USA with the Housing Authority having oversight. She noted the Affordable Housing Program documents would come before the City Council for final approval. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired if this goes through the Housing and Community Development Commission. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter confirmed it is presented to the Housing and Community Development Commission for initial approval and then comes to the City Council for final approval. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava expressed interest in hearing more about how it will be operated and hopes it will be run with Anaheim residents as the priority. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter all of the City's housing programs prioritize Anaheim residents. She explained there are occasions where the City has accepted money from the County and requires a small portion to be open to non -Anaheim residents. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired about what it means to have an Anaheim nexus. Ms. Ruiz- Stepter explained it typically means those served either live or work in Anaheim. She noted other extenuating factors are put in place for the unhoused such as being a known entity to the Critical Care Response Team (CCRT) or can prove they have family in the Anaheim area. Mayor Aitken inquired how many residents are using the interim shelter. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter reported there are 89 rooms with 100 residents. Mayor Aitken inquired what will happen to the 100 people using the facility as an interim shelter once rehabilitation commences. Ms. Ruiz-Stepter explained the City is required to ensure they have a PSH option. She advised staff is putting together a plan to identify other permanent options. She noted 70 units will be coming online at the Center of Hope and Section 8 vouchers will also be offered.

City Council Minutes of April 18, 2023 Page 15 of 19 D154 28• Receive Recruitment update on the position of Chief of Police [Informational Item]. Human Resources Director Linda Andal reported that following the retirement announcement of Police Chief Jorge Cisneros effective March 16, 2023, the Human Resources Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to several executive recruitment firms that specialize in police chief recruitments. She announced the City selected Bob Murray & Associates based on their extensive experience conducting executive recruitments and, more importantly, Police Chief recruitments. Ms. Andal reported Human Resources and Bob Murray & Associates have developed a timeline and anticipate staying on schedule. She anticipates the City Manager will be prepared to recommend an appointment to the City Council on or around August 2023 which will allow for a smooth transition from the Interim Chief to the permanent Police Chief. She advised the recruitment has already been distributed to 12 different professional and public publications with the formal publication being distributed tomorrow. She noted Bob Murray & Associates have already reached out to potentially qualified candidates. Ms. Andal reported that several stakeholder meetings have already been held with additional meetings being held between now and May to receive valuable feedback from the community. She noted community meetings are also being scheduled along with creating the opportunity for virtual participation as well. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava noted that Police Chief Cisneros has done a great job over the last 5 years. She noted he joined APD at a time when there were many challenges and under his leadership, much progress has been made. She inquired how community engagement will be incorporated into the process to vet the candidate. Ms. Andal confirmed the community would be a part of the process and clarified that one of the reasons Bob Murray & Associates was selected was due to their extensive experience in public safety. She confirmed that panel interviews will be conducted along with an extensive background check. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired if the City is obtaining comparable pay from other cities to ensure the pay is competitive enough to retain a new Police Chief. Ms. Andal the current salary was listed on the recruitment documentation because it needed to go out but staff could always review the salary. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava noted it is less expensive to keep an employee than find a replacement for someone who has established relationships and rapport with the community. She inquired about the community meetings and outreach. Ms. Andal advised staff was anticipating meetings in the east, west, and central areas of the City. She explained community outreach will be conducted by placing it on Linkedln and posting it on the City's social media pages, and local city channels. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava recommended an approach similar to finding District 4 candidates be followed along with support from Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster's office. She offered to support the outreach process however she can. Informational item; no action taken. D155 29• Receive an informational report on current policy for homelessness services in the City of Anaheim and provide direction to staff, as necessary, regarding shelter offerings during inclement weather. Item No. 29 continued to May 2, 2023 City Council meeting. City Council Minutes of April 18, 2023 Page 16 of 19 PUBLIC HEARINGS: D175 30. Public hearing to consider the vacation/abandonment of portions of excess street right-of-way lying west of Anaheim Boulevard and directly south of Midway Drive. Item No. 30 withdrawn by the applicant; no action taken. 31. Public hearing to consider approving the Seventh Amended and Restated Solid Waste F130.3 Franchise Agreement with Republic Services of Southern California, LLC dba Anaheim Disposal. ORDINANCE NO. 6556 (INTRODUCTION) AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM approving the Seventh Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement for the collection, handling, processing, recycling, transportation, and disposal of solid waste within the city limits of Anaheim for Republic Waste Services of Southern California, LLC, dba Anaheim Disposal. Public Works Director Rudy Emami reported the item is the 7th Amendment to the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement as required by Senate Bill (SB) 1383 which will reduce the amount of organics that enter the solid waste system. He advised cities were to begin the process in January 2022, but due to the pandemic, were given more time to implement the organics and recycling program. Mr. Emami reported Senate Bill 1383 is the most significant change in the way that Californians handle their solid waste. He advised SB 1383 aims to redirect and recover 75% of organic material that was previously landfilled and increase edible food recovery by 20% by 2025. He explained the big change for Anaheim is that all residents and businesses will have access to recycling programs that redirect and recover organic material and recyclable materials from landfills. Mr. Emami reported that for the City to be compliant, it must amend existing franchise hauler contracts to comply with SB 1383, amend City codes to incorporate the new organic waste recycling requirements, add new organics and recycling services, promote edible food recovery programs, purchase organic/sustainable materials and recycled products to create market infrastructure for products made from recycled organic materials and establish compliance, enforcement, and reporting programs. Mr. Emami reported on July 1, 2023, single-family residences will be required to place food scraps into their existing yard waste container. He noted townhomes and condominiums will be receiving a third container for food scraps and yard waste. He advised the current residential trash rate includes SB 1383 costs for the organics recycling program ($3.88). He reported the proposed FY 2023/24 Consumer Price Index contractually required to Republic Services is 5% ($1.32) and is included in the FY 2023/24 proposed budget which will be presented to City Council for approval in June. He noted that these two components amount to a collective total increase of approximately $5 per month. Mr. Emami reported all multi -family and commercial customers will be required to sort their trash, recyclables, and organic waste. He noted that comingled collection and processing are no longer available. He advised the new law allows the City to grant waivers for those that generate minimal organics or have space constraints. He explained the increased cost for all customers will vary depending on their waste stream. He noted that multi -family and commercial customers will have an opportunity to right -size their service. Mr. Emami reported education and outreach have already begun with notifying customers about the change to their service through community meetings, apartment groups, associations, and large venues. He noted the Public Information Office has already begun to share information on the City's City Council Minutes of April 18, 2023 Page 17 of 19 website, City's newsletters and magazine, and customer utility bills. He advised adopting the 7th Amendment to the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement is another milestone for the City to be compliant with the state mandate. He noted Anaheim is committed to being a part of the solution and helping protect the environment for future generations. DISCUSSION: Council Member Meeks inquired if there are bin size options for townhomes, condos, or apartment customers there store them in their garages. Mr. Emami explained that customers will be receiving a third bin but will be receiving smaller containers. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava requested clarification for the record that this is a state mandate and not implemented by the City. Mr. Emami confirmed this is a state mandate. Mayor Aitken opened the public hearing. Bob Donelson expressed concern that it does not seem that the City's waste management contractor is not responsive. He reported many occasions of missed pickups and inquired how the vendor will be able to handle the volume and be responsive City Clerk Theresa Bass announced no public comments were received electronically for the public hearing. Council Members Faessel and Kurtz reported no public comments from the teleconference location. In response to Mr. Donelson's public comments, Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava reported the City's Public Works Department is very responsive and encouraged residents to contact them if they have any issues with their waste collection. Mayor Aitken closed the public hearing. Council Member Leon inquired when residents will begin to see changes after the ordinance is adopted. Mr. Emami explained the changes would be implemented as of July 1, 2023, as a faced in approach starting with the east side of the City. Council Member Diaz noted this is a mandate from the state and regardless of the increased cost to customers, increased traffic, and increased demand on infrastructure, the City Council is required to adopt the ordinance. Council Member Faessel advised Republic Services is located in District 5 and employs over 300 Anaheim residents. He referenced Mr. Donelson's public comments and noted he is confident that Public Works follows these issues very closely. He encouraged Mr. Emami to continue to convey these issues to Republic Services. German Hernandez, Republic Services Hauling General Services Manager, reported he provided his card to Mr. Donelson for follow-up. He advised there were some challenges with all the rain that occurred in that they were required to dump the trash in a smaller location which created a bottleneck for all waste haulers and delayed all services. He reported residents received an automated call with updates. He noted additional resources were obtained and daily reports were provided to the City as to the status of the service. Mayor Aitken inquired how Republic Services is communicating with residents who incur a service delay. Mr. Hernandez explained customers receive a "robocall" providing them with service updates City Council Minutes of April 18, 2023 Page 18 of 19 along with providing updates on social media. Council Member Meeks expressed surprise that the service from Republic Services has been a continual complaint she has received. She referenced a constituent who reported waiting over an hour to talk to a service representative with Republic Services. She reiterated that everyone is keeping an eye on their services, especially with the rollout of SB 1383. Mr. Hernandez reported a special local team was convened to answer Anaheim residents' calls to the customer service line. Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava inquired if Republic Services will increase its staff to meet the new demand. Mr. Hernandez confirmed there will be increased staff for multi -family and commercial customers but residential will remain the same. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava reported she will report Mr. Hernandez's update to her constituents. Mayor Aitken inquired how Short Term Rentals (STRs) customers will convey the new rules to those renting those STRs. Mr. Emami advised both Public Works and Republic Services will be adding members to their teams for community outreach and education. He noted ultimately, the owner is responsible for compliance. MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6556 (INTRODUCTION) AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM approving the Seventh Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement for the collection, handling, processing, recycling, transportation, and disposal of solid waste within the city limits of Anaheim for Republic Waste Services of Southern California, LLC, dba Anaheim Disposal, seconded by Council Member Kurtz.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. To the Honorable Members of the Anaheim City Council, I am writing in support of the decisions to transition the North Harbor Anaheim Permanent Supportive Housing Apartments (formerly the Studio 6 Motel) from interim housing to permanent housing. I frequently drive past this location and I was very pleased when I found that it was being renovated toward this type of necessary housing for Orange County. While these votes maintain continuity with the Homekey Program goals, I want to acknowledge and appreciate the work of the Council, Anaheim Housing Authority, Linc Housing Corporation, and American Family Housing for their dedication to seeing this development through and look forward to the opportunities for each person who will no longer be unhoused as a result. I also want to encourage the Council to use this development as an opportunity to consider more supportive housing development potential throughout the City and work creatively and ambitiously with the Anaheim Housing Authority and other partners to make the vision of ending homelessness a reality.

We need your help to report tax evasion and non profit fraud by a hate crime perpetrator, James Mai. #JamesMai does not have a Board of Directors, so he cannot collect donations under Federal Law. We are including all the evidence for you as a special convenience! Attached is his nonprofit's organization Federal Tax ID number - Dear Members of the Public, Please include this Federal Tax ID number when filing the IRS complaint. For your convenience we have attached an IRS complaint form. If you want evidence that there is no Board of Directors, we attached it for your convenience, but you can click the link here and it shows everything. https://rct.do*.ca.gov/Verification/Web/SearchResu Its. asp We will also email you information later for to report him to California Attorney General's Office for tax fraud, but the IRS is the most serious violation. We want to mention he did not even register his "charity" in California until a year and a half after he started collecting donations. Then only after a lot of people filed complaints. He pretends to be a lawyer, but there is no listing of this being so. The Cerritos journalist already did extensive investigation. Google "James Mai Hate Crime Cerritos" Have a HateFree Day!
