They are helping to bring City services and other resources to the community. She noted that this was the 100th year of the Fall Festival, but the 99th year of the parade.

M authorizing A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE zing the Director of Public Works or designee to submit applications on behalf of the City of Anaheim to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery for all CalRecycle Grants for which the City of Anaheim is eligible and if awarded, authorizing the acceptance of such grant funds on behalf of the City and amending the budget for fiscal year accordingly (grant funds in the estimated amount of $555,244). BUSINESS CALENDAR: D155 5. Approve the filing of a letter of interest and submission of an application to collaborate with CalOptima Health in the expansion and administration of its Street Medicine Program into Anaheim. DISCUSSION: Council Member Meeks expressed concern about how the Street Medicine Program would work and how it would fit into the City's model for addressing homelessness. She noted that providing medicine on the street does not ultimately address basic needs. She expressed support for applying for the grant but requested staff return with a comprehensive report that includes how the money will be used, how it fits in with the continuum of care, along with the City's goals of getting people the services they need and into more permanent housing. Director of Housing and Community Development Grace Ruiz-Stepter explained that with the grant opportunity, the City would not be receiving or administering funds. She further explained that Anaheim would be submitting a letter of interest inviting CalOptima into the City to expand the Street Medicine Program which is already provided in Garden Grove. She advised that the program includes the street medicine component, housing navigation, and enhanced case management. Director Ruiz- Stepter explained that if CalOptima selects Anaheim as an expansion city, they would look to the City to help design the program to help enhance what is already in place. She noted that if the City is selected, staff would return to the City Council to continue conversations as to how the program is designed. In response to Council Member Meeks, Director Ruiz-Stepter explained there would be no formal agreement and added if the City agrees to let CalOptima operate in the City, they will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Street Medicine Provider in which the City would participate. She further explained the agreement would be between CalOptima and the selected provider. She explained staff would coordinate with the City Attorney's Office and CalOptima to formalize an agreement. Council Member Meeks expressed interest in having the agreement presented for City Council review. She requested additional statistics regarding the overall effectiveness of the Garden Grove pilot program to compare against the current model the City has in place for services and housing. City Council Minutes of November 7, 2023 Page 9 of 18 Council Member Faessel reported he along with City staff visited CalOptima's facility in Garden Grove and participated in a detailed presentation about their Street Medicine Program. He inquired about the City's current program with Lestonnac Free Clinic and how it would coincide with the proposed program. Deputy Director of Housing and Community Development Sandra Lozeau reported the City has a small pilot program with Wound Walk OC which is funded by the City's Opioid Settlement Funds to specifically help with opioid usage, prevention, and awareness. She explained that if the City were to be selected to work with CalOptima, it would integrate into the City's whole system of care with BeWeIIOC, City Net, and the Community Care Response Team (CCRT). In response to Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava, Director Ruiz-Stepter advised staff has reached out for Garden Grove's performance metrics, however, they are very early on in their pilot program. She explained that Garden Grove measures success by the strength of the partnership and the number of people enrolled in CalOptima for preventative care. Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava inquired about the type of medications that CalOptima would be providing. She noted that District 3 has a significant number of unhoused individuals and feels that this would enable the unhoused. Director Ruiz-Stepter advised that more information is required on what medication is being provided. She explained that Garden Grove is seeing more preventative medication or managed care such as insulin for diabetes care and noted that CalOptima is a health plan that is proactive about managing health conditions. She advised that more details would emerge if the City were accepted into the program. Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava inquired how much staff time would be dedicated to this program and take away from current programming. Director Ruiz-Stepter explained that initially staff would be required to collaborate on the design of the program. She detailed the City's system of care including the CCRT, Housing and Community Development staff, Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT), Be Well OC, and Police and Fire staff. She explained the role of staff is envisioned to coordinate all of the assets with the system of care and facilitate communication. She noted Deputy Director Lozeau's staff coordinates with Be Well OC and The Salvation Army. She added with the introduction of the Street Medicine Program, communication will be increased to integrate the new partner into the current system of care. Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava expressed concerns that the program does not target housing issues. She noted she is not opposed to obtaining funds from the County but is concerned about the fragmented approach which does not target homeless concerns. She recommended that the goal should be obtaining funding for additional affordable housing projects in Anaheim or another shelter. She explained she could not support the item since it does not target housing concerns. Director Ruiz-Stepter clarified there is capacity in the City's shelters. She explained lack of availability at shelters is often at the Bridges at Kraemer Place which is a county -run shelter. Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava suggested collaborating with Director Ruiz-Stepter to determine the best way to provide accurate information to the unhoused seeking shelter. Council Member Kurtz expressed support for the item but agreed with Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava that CalOptima may be approaching the issue differently. She noted that she wants to ensure that they will not change the way the City addresses homelessness. Director Ruiz-Stepter advised that staff has had initial conversations with CalOptima, and they are aware they would be coming into a city with well -established programs. She noted that they would be City Council Minutes of November 7, 2023 Page 10 of 18 designing their program for the jurisdiction selected. She further explained that to be enrolled in the program, the individual would also need to agree to be enrolled in housing navigation and enhanced case management. She noted a code would be designed over the first 90 to 120 days to outline the program in Anaheim. Council Member Kurtz recommended that staff return to the City Council if Anaheim is selected to review the design. In response to Council Member Leon, Director Ruiz-Stepter explained that the goal is to have the design in place by July 1stand that the program would last in perpetuity. She explained that the enhanced case management and street outreach would be paid through MediCal dollars. She noted that it is not an aid grant to the City and is paid through MediCal. Council Member Leon agreed that Anaheim is much more advanced in its outreach efforts than other cities and recommended a regular check -in process to ensure adjustments are being made accordingly. Director Ruiz-Stepter reported that there would be regular meetings with staff and that the model currently exists in Garden Grove. She reiterated that staff have emphasized to CalOptima that the program must be an enhancement to the services offered and not something that duplicates existing efforts. Council Member Diaz inquired if this would include mental health services. Deputy Director Lozeau advised that program recipients will be integrated into the City's behavioral health programs such as PERT and Be Well OC as a requirement of the program. He noted that the key to the program's success is to also address mental health issues and expressed strong support for the item. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired if the program will help enroll program users into MediCal as it is a requirement of the program and if the program will be available to those on the verge of homelessness. Director Ruiz-Stepter explained that this program is for those who are truly homeless. She noted that CalOptima has other plans for those who are in a state of eviction or unstably housed. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired if the street medicine staff would be able to administer aid to unhoused individuals with mental health medications. Deputy Director Lozeau explained that street medicine would provide preventative care and help with voluntary referrals for mental health care. She noted it is another touch point to build trust with the individuals and to keep them more stable as they are being moved through the housing plans. Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava recommended that if Anaheim is selected that staff bring back information on the implementation to the City Council for approval. She expressed concern about the types of medications the program would provide including its potential to open the door for a needle exchange program or other programs that are funded by the State. Director Ruiz-Stepter explained that staffs intent was to inquire if the City Council was supportive of submitting a letter of interest for the program. She explained that if selected, staff would return to the City Council to have ongoing dialogue regarding the program. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava moved to approve the filing of a letter of interest and submission of an application to collaborate with CalOptima Health in the expansion and administration of its Street Medicine Program into Anaheim with the requirement that staff provide an outline for input from the City Council if selected for the program, seconded by Council Member Meeks. City Council Minutes of November 7, 2023 Page 11 of 18 DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Aitken, Director Ruiz-Stepter confirmed that a medical doctor would be involved in providing primary care within the program. She noted that CCRT and Be Well OC are unable to administer or prescribe medications on the street. Mayor Aitken requested confirmation that doctors involved in the program would be able to prescribe and administer medications unlike an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) who cannot prescribe medications. Deputy Director Lozeau explained that City Net and CCRT can connect the unhoused with doctors who can provide medications but cannot prescribe them on the street. She further explained the program would bring a doctor to the unhoused to help stabilize them while they are working on their housing plan and would be another tool for the City. Mayor Aitken inquired if the program will help administer medications that help those who need daily doses of medication, such as insulin, to help stretch out care. Director Ruiz-Stepter confirmed that the program would help manage chronic conditions and will utilize interventions that last longer in the event they lose track of an individual. In response to Mayor Aitken, Deputy Director Lozeau explained that the program Wound Walk OC has some EMTs and conducts emergency wound care. She noted that they help with trust building and provide referrals but there is no true medical professional on site. Mayor Aitken expressed support for applying for the grant because it demonstrates that the City is trying to assist individuals with chronic conditions until they receive the next level of service. She noted that cities have been unfairly carrying the brunt of the homeless issue and this helps relieve pressure from using the City's General Fund to create a program. She expressed concern that each city's programs are not collaborating, and this is an opportunity to have the County involved with CalOptima providing a more wide-ranging idea of who is in the system. She noted she was optimistic but would like to see how the program will be uniquely implemented in the city. Council Member Faessel reported that the vans in the program are equipped with locked pharmaceutical safes which allow the administration of needed drugs onsite. He explained that in Garden Grove the program follows a regular route that allows medical professionals to approach the unhoused. He noted the City's other programs are not as proactive as the proposed program. He reflected on attending the Longest Night ceremony at Anaheim Cemetery and hearing the names of over 400 homeless individuals who have died. He explained that if this program can help save lives, then the City Council should be supportive while requiring some boundaries and policy advice. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava moved to approve the filing of a letter of interest and submission of an application to collaborate with CalOptima Health in the expansion and administration of its Street Medicine Program into Anaheim with the requirement that staff provide an outline for input from the City Council if selected for the program, seconded by Council Member Meeks.

City Council Minutes of November 7, 2023 Page 12 of 18 DISCUSSION: Council Member Kurtz remarked it is gratifying to see that the Community Services Department is reviewing the current services provided to the City's older residents or seniors. She thanked Director of Community Services Sjany Larson -Cash for the staff's continued support and expressed support for a standalone senior center in the future. Director Larson -Cash reported the item is a request to approve a License and Facility Use Agreement with the Anaheim Senior Citizens Club for the use of space to conduct activities for seniors at various facilities across the city. She highlighted the Anaheim Senior Citizens Club's long history of providing comprehensive programs for seniors since 1997. She noted that the club has utilized the Downtown Community Center with administrative and programming headquarters in the senior wing of the building. She reported the club continues to partner with the City to provide activities for seniors and has expanded its reach with activities at the Downtown Youth Center, Brookhurst Community Center, and the East Anaheim Community Center and gymnasium. She reported that the club works jointly with City staff to coordinate senior activities focused on health and wellness, social and supportive services, fitness and recreation, education, nutrition, and transportation and referral services. She explained the new agreement would extend the term for 10 years with five one-year renewal options. She noted it will also expand its programming into new additional facilities, such as the West Anaheim Youth Center, and the Family Resource Centers at Miraloma and Ponderosa Parks. Lastly, she added the agreement allows the City to expand the breadth of senior programs projects, events, and activities to seniors to deter isolation and stimulate engagement while continuing to meet the ever -changing needs of Anaheim's aging population. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired how outreach to the senior community is conducted. Director Larson -Cash explained the City has a variety of marketing and programming through a variety of marketing methods since not all seniors are active in technology. She advised that the senior club has a courier magazine that is mailed out to all 1,100 members. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava encouraged staff to return to the City Council with ideas about the needs of the city's senior population as the City starts preparing its strategic plan. Council Member Meeks reported that the Senior Citizen Commission has begun working on a vision and strategic plan that they would like to incorporate into the Citywide Strategic Plan. Director Larson -Cash reported that staff will be embarking on a Needs Assessment for seniors next month.

DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava expressed concern about setting a precedent considering there may be other homes encroaching onto the golf course area. She inquired about how the City comprised the acquisition amount of $19,000. Public Works Director Rudy Emami reported three homes that are next to each other appear to encroach on the golf course. He noted the subject was the first and that all three will be addressed in the requested memo. He reported that the staff would search for any additional encroachments. Council Member Meeks added a vineyard may be encroaching on the golf course property. MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Grant Deed with Andrew J.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-101 __ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM rescinding Resolution No. 97R-14 regarding a "No Parking" area on both sides of Balsam Avenue west of East Street. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava reported that Balsam Avenue is a community in her district. She explained that in 1997, the City Council approved a no -parking resolution due to gang violence. She advised that primarily low-income residents continue to struggle with parking in the area. She reported that she recently visited the area with the Chief of Police and found it was time for the City Council to rescind the no -parking resolution and work with the community to address the parking challenges. Chief of Police Rick Armendariz reported the item is a resolution to rescind a previous resolution that was issued in February 1997 which restricted parking in the Balsam neighborhood. He advised that 20 years ago, the area had a high volume of criminal activity, specifically gang violence and drug City Council Minutes of November 7, 2023 Page 14 of 18 activity. He explained that since that time there has been a reduction in violent crime, gang crime, and narcotic sales in the area. He noted that several adjacent neighborhoods have elected to have permitted parking which has added additional parking issues to the area. He further explained that residents park further away and must walk to their homes late at night and in inclement weather or park illegally. He reported that several meetings have been held with the community, apartment managers, and residents who are all requesting that the resolution be rescinded. He added that the Anaheim Police Department (APD) has conducted its analysis of calls for service and the type of activity occurring there. He noted the department supports the recommendation to rescind the previous resolution but will continue to monitor the activity and ensure that public safety remains a priority. He noted they would address any issues that arise and would return to the City Council with any concerns. Mayor Aitken inquired if a parking analysis would be conducted to determine available parking on Balsam Avenue if the resolution was rescinded. She referenced neighborhoods in Districts 3 and 4 with one-way driving to allow diagonal parking for twice as many parking spaces in the area. Chief Armendariz reported that he was unaware of any discussions of a study and noted the request to allow parking on the street at this time, so residents do not have to risk a fine or ticket for their safety. Director of Public Works Emami reported that over the last year, four (4) community meetings have been held to address all the parking issues, which included looking at all options within the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, including permit parking and different parking management practices. He noted that staff will continue to work with residents to determine the best approach for future parking management and parking inventory needs. Mayor Aitken inquired if other no -parking areas could be assessed to determine if the issues that originally warranted no -parking areas are still relevant. Chief Armendariz agreed that staff can investigate those areas, but he is unaware of any communities expressing parking concerns. Council Member Faessel advised he was very familiar with the Balsam neighborhood and noted that the parking situation impacts the shopping centers on East Street and the adjoining neighborhoods. He thanked Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava for addressing the matter and believes it will be very well received by the residents. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava expressed her belief that parking is a quality -of -life issue, particularly in low-income neighborhoods. She referenced Mayor Aitken's suggestion about diagonal parking and noted the Glen Neighbors neighborhood has diagonal parking and continues to experience serious compacted parking challenges. She encouraged her colleagues to visit the Balsam Avenue and Glen Neighbors neighborhoods when looking to approve housing projects including parking allowances. She noted that housing is still expensive and many residents live with multiple family members in one home with multiple vehicles. She thanked the dais for considering rescinding the resolution as it would create a major quality of life change for residents. She also noted that this community experiences issues with school buses unable to pick up students for school due to parking issues. She expressed hope that many of the other issues can be addressed once the resolution is rescinded. City Council Minutes of November 7, 2023 Page 15 of 18 MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2023-101 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM rescinding Resolution No. 97R- 14 regarding a "No Parking" area on both sides of Balsam Avenue west of East Street and directed staff to work with the community to address some of the parking challenges in the area, seconded by Council Member Meeks. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Rubalcava, Diaz, Leon, Kurtz, Faessel, and Meeks); NOES — 0; Motion carried. M142 16. ORDINANCE NO. 6562 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Chapter 3.04 of Title 3 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and finding and determining that this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment because there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment and it is not a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15378 [amendment to require subcontractors to disclose recent labor code violations when obtaining a business license] [continued from Council meeting of October 24, 2023, Item No. 23]. Director of Planning and Building Ted White reported the item was continued from the October 24tn City Council meeting and is an ordinance amending the Municipal Code related to business licensing to require subcontractors to disclose recent labor code violations. He explained that at the direction of the City Council, staff has incorporated two recommended changes to the proposed ordinance. He explained that the first change is to remove pending determinations of labor code violations from required disclosure and the second change is to add a provision requiring any subcontractor to provide any new information related to labor code violations that occur following the issuance of a building permit to the contractor within 72 hours of the subcontractor's knowledge of such change. DISCUSSION: Council Member Diaz inquired if the City would issue a building permit in a situation where before the final building inspection sign -off, the contractor discloses the subcontractor had a pending labor violation years ago, but nothing has occurred since then. Director White explained that the ordinance is related to disclosure and does not affect the contractor's ability to use a subcontractor who has labor code violations. He noted it is a matter of trying to bring those labor code violations to the surface. He explained that graduated enforcement mechanisms could be used in that situation, but it would not begin with not finalizing a building permit. He further explained that if it was brought to staff's attention that a subcontractor was not following the Code, the City would begin with a courtesy notice which would graduate to a civil notice. In response to Council Member Diaz, Director White responded that he would not want to speculate on the intent of any labor union's support of the ordinance. Council Member Diaz emphasized that the City should not interfere with business between developers and contractors. He noted there are many consequences for contractors who do not follow the law. He expressed concern that this will cost the City money on time and may expose the City to imminent lawsuits if approved. He advised that he would not be supporting the ordinance. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava inquired if the City Attorney's Office anticipates any liability regarding enforcement of the Ordinance. City Attorney Robert Fabela confirmed that the City can be named in a lawsuit for a variety of reasons, but reported nothing that would result in an imminent lawsuit. Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava thanked staff for incorporating the pending verbiage as she feels that a contractor should have due process and for adding the subcontractor requirements. City Council Minutes of November 7, 2023 Page 16 of 18 Council Member Leon expressed support for the item. MOTION: Mayor Aitken moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 6562 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Chapter 3.04 of Title 3 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and finding and determining that this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment because there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment and it is not a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15378 [amendment to require subcontractors to disclose recent labor code violations when obtaining a business license], seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 6 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Rubalcava, Leon, Kurtz, Faessel, and Meeks); NOES — 1 (Council Member Diaz). Motion carried; ordinance introduced. D114 17. RESOLUTION NO. 2023-102 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adding Policy 1.13 to the City Council Policy Manual regarding the Public Posting of Calendars for key City Officials. Assistant City Manager Greg Garcia reported that the item is a resolution that would adopt a new council policy, requiring the posting of public calendars of certain city officials on the City's website. He explained that at the September 12th City Council meeting, the City Council provided direction to staff regarding a new policy that would require the posting of public calendars. He noted that although all City calendars are, subject to certain exceptions, currently public record and available to the public upon request, this new policy would require designated members of the City to proactively post calendars on the City's website. Assistant City Manager Garcia advised that staff drafted a new council policy based on feedback from the previous discussion and utilizing best practices from other municipalities studied. He explained under the proposed policy, the Mayor, City Council Members, and City Managers would be required to keep a public calendar and post those calendars to the City's website no later than the 101h day of each month with those calendars reflecting the meetings that occurred during the previous month. He further explained that posted calendars will include all non -internal city -related appointments, calls, and meetings with members of the public, businesses, developers, union representatives, consultants, and lobbyists. He further explained that meeting details must include the date and time of the meeting, the name, title, and affiliated organizations of those who are in attendance, as well as a general statement of the topic of the meeting. Assistant City Manager Garcia explained that the policy provides for certain limited exemptions to the disclosure of meetings including personal appointments; meetings with internal city staff only, including retained city consultants or vendors; information protected by attorney -client privilege; information about a personnel issue; information about residents who reasonably fear that public disclosure of their appointment will result in retaliation or other tangible harm; and any other information that is otherwise prohibited from disclosure. Assistant City Manager Garcia explained that if the City Council adopts the policy, staff will begin working with designated City officials on a process for posting the necessary information within the appropriate timeframe. He noted that staff will explore utilizing software to streamline the tasks and work with their staff to train them. He noted that staff would develop an automated system for posting to the website. He recommended that the policy will become effective in January 2024. City Council Minutes of November 7, 2023 Page 17 of 18 DISCUSSION: Mayor Aitken expressed support for uniformity in the way City officials provide information to the public. She expressed support for developing an automated system where City officials are reporting in the same way that removes any type of accusations of malfeasance when reporting calendar events and believes it to be a helpful tool as the City Council continues to discuss accountability and transparency. Council Member Kurtz inquired if a meeting of a political nature would require disclosure. Assistant City Manager Garcia explained that political activities fall under the category of personal appointments and would be exempt. She explained that she often meets with groups of residents where it is difficult to collect all the names and inquired if the names would be required. Assistant City Manager Garcia explained that was not the intent of the policy, but some cities have policies that require members of the City Council to submit sign -in sheets. He advised that staff did not want to go in that direction. He explained that in that instance, he would expect to have the topic discussed, the date, the time, and the audience using residents of District 4 as an example. Council Member Meeks expressed support for the item and believes the policy emphasizes transparency. She expressed support for the policy, however, expressed concerns regarding the calendar policy and lobbyist reporting requirements. She noted potential conflicts regarding meetings reported by lobbyists which may conflict with the posted calendars. MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2023-102 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adding Policy 1.13 to the City Council Policy Manual regarding the Public Posting of Calendars for key City Officials, seconded by Mayor Aitken. DISCUSSION: Council Member Leon expressed support for the item and noted the item's purpose is transparency to the public. He thanked staff for their research and benchmarking with other cities. He emphasized that the City Council is trying to be more transparent and proactive in these efforts. Council Member Diaz emphasized the proposed policy is easy to follow and a good step toward increased transparency. MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2023-102 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adding Policy 1.13 to the City Council Policy Manual regarding the Public Posting of Calendars for key City Officials, seconded by Mayor Aitken. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Rubalcava, Diaz, Leon, Kurtz, Faessel, and Meeks); NOES — 0; Motion carried.

Hello, I am emailing you to ask you to please vote no on allowing prep charter school (project 2021-2018) at 2780 E Rio Vista (Wagner). I am a resident of this neighborhood and that is a very dangerous corner that has had multiple accidents a year. Not safe to add more kids and cars to the situation. '' The location is also not big enough for a school, it will cause traffic jams that will most likely block in our neighborhood which only has one outlet. It will also cause noise pollution, which will not only disrupt the peace of our neighborhood but also could negatively affect our natural wildlife we have here at the Anaheim coves next door.
