Council Member Rubalcava shared that she has been working collaboratively with residents and businesses in District 3 to walk neighborhoods with residents to identify issues to implement solutions to enhance the quality of life for residents. Last Thursday the walk took place in the Pauline Street Community off Sycamore Street. She noted that there has been an increase in gang activity and landlords who are providing substandard living
conditions for many of the residents in the area. Staff from Code Enforcement, Anaheim Gang Unit, Public Utilities, Public Works, and Police Chief Armendariz were present to identify issues. Higher Ground, a gang intervention and prevention non-profit organization, is working with the community to ensure that
intervention options for students and young people living in these impacted neighborhoods are provided. She shared that she was honored to serve with Council Member Meeks and Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz on a panel for the second annual Anaheim Public Utilities Bright Girls Program which is a STEM initiative. She stated they had an opportunity to share their diverse professional backgrounds and promote jobs within the City of Anaheim which have good paying opportunities, as well as pensions.

There were a lot of junior high age young ladies who attended the event including young ladies from Project S.A.Y. and Higher Ground. Council Member Rubalcava noted that the City Council approved August as Chicano Heritage Month.

Member Rubalcava mentioned that Anaheim was home to the Chicano riots back in 1978 and there is a historically significant meaning to people who reside in Anaheim.
Council Member Leon attended the Magnolia Agriscience Community Center’s MACC Berry Festival at Magnolia High School. He shared that there were many fresh berries and produce. He was able to tour the freight farm, which is the first of its kind in Southern California. The freight farm allows for a more significant amount of produce to be grown in a smaller footprint. He was excited to announce that the future of agriculture and farming is in District 2. Council Member Leon invited everyone to the Anaheim Police Department’s National Night Out event on August 6 at 5:00 p.m. at Modjeska Park. The annual event strengthens the community by promoting partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie with police officers. There will be live music, demonstrations, and a donut-eating contest. He shared that Community Services Coordinator Jason Perez is the donut-eating champion three years in a row. Council Member Leon also invited everyone to the Second Annual Back to School Bash at Madison Elementary School on Saturday, August 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Backpacks and school supplies will be given out, resources will be provided by community partners, a limited number of haircuts from True School Barbershop will be provided, and there will also be raffle prizes.

Walker’s Deli, the July Business of the Month. He stated that Walker's Deli is a hidden gem that serves fresh ingredients and some of the tastiest sandwiches ever. Walker’s Deli is inside a convenience store on Lincoln Avenue, just west of Euclid Street. Council Member Leon congratulated Ceviche 19, the July
Restaurant of the Month. Ceviche 19 is a family business, owned by Peruvian immigrants. Chef Alonso, his wife, his parents, and his in-laws all work there. They are all dedicated ambassadors of Peruvian cuisine and serve fresh and authentic dishes that bring the vibrant flavors of Peru to District 2 residents and the broader Anaheim community. Council Member Meeks shared that in honor of the Olympics, she was wearing her Olympics jacket and asked everyone to cheer for the men’s and women’s volleyball teams and the two fencers who train in Anaheim. She thanked the Police Department for the electric bike informational meeting that was held in
District 6. She encouraged everyone to share safety information regarding electric bikes with kids and their parents because electric bikes can be complex. Some require helmets for individuals under 18 and some may require helmets for all ages, or there are also electric bikes that are illegal to ride on public
streets. She noted that a representative from a local middle school will be handing out the flyers during registration and Council Member Meeks encouraged others to do the same.
Mayor Aitken thanked Anaheim Public Utilities for hosting the Bright Girls Program closing ceremonies and for inviting her to hand out the certificates. She stated that it was fun meeting with the girls and answering questions about her background and her journey to get there. Mayor Aitken shared that she felt
like a rock star because she was autographing shirts and hats for the girls. They even taught her how to take a point-five selfie and she made some of their Instagram accounts. She thanked Public Utilities General Manager Dukku Lee for offering the program.
CITY MANAGER’S UPDATE: City Manager Vanderpool shared that Community Services' summer happenings continue with lineups of live music and summer shows at Pearson Park Amphitheatre.

7 July 23, 2024
at 6:30 p.m. to perform during the event. City Manager Vanderpool pointed out the amazing work of the men and women of the Anaheim Police Department and the Orange County Human Trafficking Task
Force (OCHTTF). The Anaheim Police Department is the lead agency for the OCHTTF and hosts the Task Force at the Anaheim Police Department. On July 9, the Task Force received information about a juvenile who was being trafficked. OCHTTF and assisting agencies recovered the victim and located the suspect who was responsible for the trafficking. After locating the suspect, he led officers on a pursuit. Ultimately, the suspect was arrested. On July 11, the District Attorney's Office charged the suspect with several offenses. He remains in custody and is being held in lieu of a $1 million bail. The investigation illustrates the commitment OCHTTF and the Anaheim Police Department in locating and identifying victims of human trafficking.

If requested, the agenda and backup materials will be made available in appropriate alternative formats to persons with a disability, as required by Section 202 of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12132), and the federal rules and regulations adopted in implementation thereof.
Any person who requires a disability-related modification or accommodation, including auxiliary aids or services, in order to participate in the public meeting may request such reasonable modification,

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.
