COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS: Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz highlighted and shared photographs of events in District 4. She thanked the
Anaheim Public Utilities team who were out in the rain handing out dusk-to-dawn lights to residents. They set up in Joseph Gonzales’s driveway in District 4. Joseph Gonzales is a Commissioner for the Housing and Community Development Commission. He noticed the copper was being stripped from lights in his neighborhood and he contacted the District 4 Office, Anaheim Public Utilities, and the Police Department. Anaheim Public Utilities went out and fixed the lights on several streets as quickly as possible. They also went around the neighborhood and noticed that the alleys were very dark and installed lights. Residents were very appreciative. Olive Street Elementary School located at the corner of Vermont Avenue and Olive Street recently had a walk through their neighborhood and several moms and teachers joined in walking the neighborhood. At various stops, residents would share what was going on in their neighborhood. The parent noted that the Police Officers who patrol the area are friendly and stop and say hello to the kids in the neighborhood which helps the kids feel safe walking to school. The parent shared that every six months the City of Anaheim hosts a neighborhood event to provide resources to residents, food, and books. Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz thanked City departments who help make Anaheim neighborhoods safer to live in.
Council Member Faessel requested adjourning the City Council meeting in memory of Andres Bonilla Pacheco who was involved in a traffic accident and passed away. Council Member Faessel shared that
he joined Mayor Aitken and Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz at the Association of California Cities, Orange County Mayoral Roundtable. He was not able to attend the Alzheimer's 2024 Walk at Angel Stadium because he twisted his ankle, but his wife Susan joined Mayor Aitken in the rain for the walk. There was a great turnout despite the inclement weather. He thanked Anaheim Public Utilities for all the streetlight repairs in District 5 mainly in and around State College Avenue due to the copper thefts. Council Member Diaz thanked Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz and Council Member Faessel for recognizing Public Utilities. He noted that it is routine for Anaheim Public Utilities and Public Works to work in the rain, heat, weekends, birthdays, and holidays. He mentioned that while residents are safe in their homes, Public Works and Public Utilities are working in inclement weather unplugging drains and keeping the City safe. Council Member Diaz highlighted Olligo Grill located at 3240 Lincoln Avenue. He shared that the Korean
American family immigrated from Korea and the owner’s son grew up in Anaheim and loves Mexican food and that is why he created the Korean Mexican fusion menu at the restaurant. Council Member Diaz stated the food is delicious and he invited everyone to support the local business and immigrant
community. Council Member Rubalcava highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended in District 3
including the first Neighborhood Watch meeting of 2024 in the Westmont Drive neighborhood. She thanked District 3 resident and Realtor Jackie Garibay for taking the lead working with neighbors, the District 3 Office, Public Utilities, Public Works, and the Anaheim Police Department to host Neighborhood Watch meetings. Ms. Garibay worked in collaboration with Public Works to install the Neighborhood Watch signs in her neighborhood. Public Utilities staff were also on hand to help the neighborhood with lighting initiatives and other ways to keep the neighborhood safe. District 3 hosted two Anaheim Mobile Family Resource Center events serving the Balsam and Catalpa neighborhoods. She thanked Neighborhood Services for leading the initiative, Code Enforcement for attending the events, the Anaheim Public Library for distributing books to all of the kids in these neighborhoods, Love Anaheim, Anaheim Family YMCA, OC Animal Care for providing dog and cat tags for the pets, Project Foodbox for providing fresh fruits and vegetables to Cal Optima recipients, Family Promise of OC for providing
housing information, and District 3 Council Aides Daniel Hernandez and Melissa Cuevas. She noted that some of the major initiatives in both neighborhoods are speeding and the lack of parking. She stated that as a policymaker it is difficult to solve those issues as they currently are already established, but one of
the things she promises the residents she represents is that she will work hard to prevent further congestion and other parking issues by collaborating with the Planning and Building Department and developers to hopefully include more or sufficient parking in neighborhoods. Council Member Rubalcava
5 March 26, 2024
attended the Anaheim Family YMCA and City Church Egg Hunt at the Sports Complex. She loved seeing all the families enjoy themselves in the community. Pictures with the Easter Bunny were offered, there was lots of candy, and a little bit of Jesus at this event. She was grateful for City staff who braved the
cold and rainy weather to serve and engage with the community. She gave a special shout out to Anaheim Public Utilities and shared that they now have hard hats for the kids and the Fire Department has competition. She also recognized Neighborhood Services, Anaheim Police Department Community Policing Team, and District 3 Council Aides for attending the event. Council Member Rubalcava shared that the Anaheim Police Department participated in the Baker to Vegas Race. The two teams made Anaheim proud. The open team ran their fastest since 1996 and finished seventh overall out of 258 teams, placed seventh out of 36 teams in the open division, and retained the title of Orange County's fastest-running team by beating the Orange County Sheriff's Department by five minutes and the Santa Ana Police Department by 40 minutes. The invitational mix team ran the fastest time ever placing eighth out of 36 teams. She congratulated the Anaheim Police Department’s Baker to Vegas running teams. Council Member Rubalcava shared that her dad is a 41-year veteran of Anaheim Public Utilities. He was a Mainline Pipe Fitter, and he was one of those people always on call. She recognized Public Utilities employees who go above and beyond to make sure that the City’s infrastructure is maintained.
Council Member Leon thanked the Anaheim Public Utilities team for organizing the Community Resource Fair and EV Test Drive event at Savanna High School. There was a great turnout despite the rain and the team proved that nothing could dampen the dedication to sustainable living and community
engagement. He congratulated all the community groups, organizers, volunteers, and residents that attended the Annual Easter Extravaganza at Maxwell Park. He thanked Nathan Zug, Love Anaheim, Sandals Church, Magnolia Baptist, and everyone who helped organize the fun event in West Anaheim. Council Member Leon highlighted and shared photographs of Atticus Cafe, the March Restaurant of the Month. Atticus Cafe Atticus Cafe is a woman-owned breakfast restaurant located off Magnolia Avenue. The owner Chef Yara serves delicious comfort brunch and vegan items. They have chilaquiles, café de olla, pancakes, and a lot more options including a lot of protein-packed meals for any gym and fitness enthusiast out there. Chef Yara also happened to be celebrating her birthday and he wished her a happy birthday again and thanked her for adding flavor to the community one delicious meal at a time. Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz mentioned that former Senator Joseph Dunn accepted the Cesar Chavez
recognition on behalf of the family because he was close to them. He walked with the Chavez family and Dolores Huerta from Merced to Sacramento, along with his two young children. On the second march that the farmworkers had, Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz was honored to join them and that is why UFW and the
Chavez family mean a lot to both former Senator Dunn and Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz. Mayor Aitken highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended including the Boys and Girls
Club Annual Gala. She stated the Boys and Girls Club put on a wonderful event and the kids were a joy to be around. She stated that Council Member Leon joined her bright and early for the Alzheimer's Walk and it was a rainy day from start to finish. After that event, she headed over to the Community Resources Fair and then the District 2 Easter Eggstravaganza. She was invited by the Iranian American community to the Nowruz Festival in Irvine, and she wished everyone celebrating a Happy New Year. Mayor Aitken thanked the Anaheim Police Department for attending a District 6 event at a senior facility to speak about crime fraud, credit card fraud, phone fraud, and all the different things that can get individuals in trouble on the internet. The event was hosted by Community Services Board Chair Linda Barnett.
CITY MANAGER’S UPDATE: City Manager Vanderpool shared that the Anaheim Police Department is finalizing its 2023 annual report. He displayed the report and shared that crime in Anaheim was down 6 percent last year from 2022. The most serious crimes, including murders, rapes and assaults, declined by 4 percent. Thefts, burglaries and other property crimes fell 12 percent. There were eight homicides in 2023. While that is eight too
many, that was down 20 percent from 2022. There were 16 percent fewer traffic fatalities than in 2022. The Police Department handled more than 196,000 incidents in 2023. Response times for the community
6 March 26, 2024
are also moving in the right direction. Priority 1 calls, the most serious calls with immediate threat to life, saw a response time of 6 minutes and 42 seconds, down 10 percent. Other priority calls also saw significantly quicker responses. The annual report is being finalized with statistics undergoing
reconciliation with federal Department of Justice standards. He highlighted the Natural Products convention which brought more than 65,000 people to Anaheim and was the largest trade show at the Convention Center since reopening after the pandemic closure. The healthy food and lifestyle show included more than 3,300 exhibitors and saw 140,000 pounds of food donated to Orange County’s food bank, Second Harvest. He shared that the new Anaheim Youth Advisory Council held its first meeting last week. The Youth Council is made up of 18 students, representing all six districts. They are ready to offer invaluable support and guidance to City staff, providing input on youth programs, projects, events, and initiatives. In April, the Youth Council will take on its first project helping the Anaheim Community Foundation to promote the Youth and Family Needs Assessment Survey. He further shared that Anaheim’s Economic Development Department was part of a recent trade
delegation to South Korea to promote ties between Anaheim and a major partner in trade and visitors. The visit, led by the Small Business Development Center, is one of three Anaheim engagements with South Korea. In October, Anaheim hosted the World Korean Business Convention at the Anaheim
Convention Center, the first time the trade show was held outside South Korea. He welcomed to City Hall a planning delegation from the largest province in South Korea.

accommodation, aid, or service by contacting the City Clerk’s Office either in person at 200 South Anaheim Boulevard, Anaheim, California, by telephone at (714) 765-5166, or via email to cityclerk@anaheim.net, no later than 8:00 AM on the day of the scheduled meeting.
TRANSLATION SERVICES: Spanish interpreting services are provided at City Council meetings. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation is provided through the use of headsets and consecutive interpretation (Spanish-to-English) is also available to anyone addressing the Council by stating your request at the podium. The use of city provided interpreters is not required and persons are welcome to use their own interpreter. Because many dialects and regionalisms exist, the City cannot guarantee that interpreters will be able to interpret into a particular dialect or regionalism, and disclaims any liability alleged to arise from such services. For translation services in other languages, contact the City Clerk’s office no later than 48 hours prior to the scheduled meeting.
