Cindy Smith, Director of Sales and Marketing at Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel, thanked the
City Council for bringing Item No. 23 forward to provide the City with the tools necessary to
provide public safety for Anaheim's visitors and residents. She noted that street vendors are
operating without licensing or oversight from the Health Department noting the issue is a public
health concern.
Lara Watkins, Manager of Best Western, expressed support for Item No. 23. She noted that
street vendors are bringing safety issues to the surrounding properties. She noted they operate
via cash -only and referenced a recent shooting where people ran for cover in her hotel. She
noted the vendors are stealing ice from the hotel's vending machines and are continually
trespassing on the property. She cited safety concerns including Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) concerns and unsightly representation that the vendors are reflecting on the City.
Shirley Grindle expressed her support for Item No. 22 and supported the recommendations by
staff. She expressed concern that the ordinance has not been amended for District -wide
elections. She encouraged the City Council to allow for the redesignation of a committee which
would not require candidates to open new bank accounts for the next election. She encouraged
the City Council to adopt a Gift Ban Ordinance to ensure public trust.
Greg Eisenman expressed concern regarding the ongoing recall effort of Council Member
Rubalcava. He noted the City Council must stand in solidarity with her and encouraged the City
Council to publicly stand behind Council Member Rubalcava. He expressed disappointment
with the delay in the implementation of panic buttons inside Anaheim hotels which is a safety
concern for hotel workers. He commended Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz for bringing forward Item No.
23 to address street vendors to safeguard the interests of the community and noted challenges
behind street vending including undermining legitimate business. He urged the Council to
prioritize solidarity and accountability for residents, workers, and tourists in all endeavors.
Vern Nelson encouraged any member of the City Council to pull Item No. 06 so the public could
hear a discussion regarding the State Auditor's report. He expressed support for Item No. 24
and noted that Republic Services is doing a great job in his neighborhood never missing a
pickup. He encouraged the City Council to broadcast their meetings and Planning Commission
meetings on Zoom or Webex like other cities so residents can comment remotely.

while she was working. She explained the whole business was shut down during the incident.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024

She noted she had called Code Enforcement to report the street vendors, however, nothing had
happened. She encouraged the City Council to pass Item No. 23.
Mariam El Haj, co-owner of Calaca Mamas and IHOP, expressed support for Item No. 23 and
noted the street vendors represent health and safety concerns. She noted Anaheim does not
have the resources to handle the street vendor issues. She explained the process is not fair to
the businesses that operate legally and obtain the proper licensing. She highlighted unfair
enforcement methods for businesses and the lack of enforcement related to street vendors.
Mark Richard Daniels commented on street vendors and the circumstances that led to them
operating on the streets. He expressed support for Item No. 06 and encouraged the City Council
to try to recover the funds that were provided to Visit Anaheim during the pandemic. He cited
the former City Manager's opposition to providing the funds and noted the former City Manager
Chris Zapata is owed a huge apology from the City for his dismissal. He proposed sanctions on
Visit Anaheim and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce to prohibit them from conducting
business with the City for a period of time.
Mike Robbins reported that Visit Anaheim is cited 191 times and the Anaheim Chamber of
Commerce is cited 168 times in the JL Group report. He expressed concern for the culture of
corruption in Anaheim and noted it should be a blossoming city. He explained that the City
Council and constituents have the opportunity to rebuild transparency, trust, and accountability
to stand against corruption. He attributed the City's crime rate which is 50% more than
surrounding cities to corruption. He expressed support for Item No. 06.
Jeanine Robbins noted that Visit Anaheim, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, and
Disneyland Forward are the wrong direction for the City. She remarked that the City Council is
heading in the wrong direction which seems to be mirroring former Mayor Sidhu's
administration. She inquired if the City Council is serving in the best interest of its constituents
or Disney. She questioned if the City Council is acting with transparency and accountability,
noting that the City Council has had no public meetings about the State Auditor's findings or the
JL Group's findings. She encouraged the City Council to prioritize the well-being of all Anaheim
residents and not Disney. She called for the Visit Anaheim organization to not be allowed on
school campuses.
Angela El Haj, co-owner of Calaca Mamas and IHOP, expressed support for Item No. 23 and
cautioned that street vendors impact staff's safety. She noted that Code Enforcement can do
little for them. She noted the businesses are not against individuals making an honest living,
however, noted opposition to the issues affecting their patrons and employees. She encouraged
the City Council to pass Item No. 23.
Wes Jones expressed support for Item No. 06 and noted the City Council did not provide any
oversight for funds that were provided to Visit Anaheim. He added the Chamber of Commerce
has become a nonviable party to work with to promote the City. He noted that the Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT) that goes to Visit Anaheim is considered public money but is not being
handled that way. He remarked that the City Council should not have any say in recalls because
they are brought forward by the people.
Diana Kotler, Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN), expressed support for Item No. 23 and
that it will provide additional tools to keep sidewalks safe for individuals who use sidewalks for
their original intent. She noted safe public transit begins and ends on sidewalks.

Edsel Lara Jaimes expressed opposition to Item No. 23 and noted that street vendors are part
of the community and part of the fabric of the nation. He emphasized that confiscating street
vendors' equipment is wrong because the vendors can barely afford to purchase the equipment
let alone pay fines. He encouraged the City Council to find other solutions for the street vendors.
He asked for compassion from the City Council when voting on the item.
Paul Hyek encouraged the City Council to have the federal government and Homeland Security
investigate the street vendors. He cited language barriers and human trafficking concerns.
Luis Andres Perez, representing Assemblymember Avelino Valencia, read a statement from
Assemblymember Valencia noting that the audit he requested unveiled a prolonged lack of
oversight and accountability of assessment funds and expressed his concern about the findings.
In the letter, he noted the neglect has led to contractual agreements being exploited and
taxpayer funds being taken advantage of. He added the unallowable use of tourism district
funds undermines the trust of residents. He expressed Assemblymember Valencia's support of
the City's action plan to implement all of the recommendations set forth by the State Auditor to
prevent the abuse of taxpayer funds in the future.
Manuel Hernandez expressed opposition to Item No. 23 and noted that if street vendors are not
able to sell their goods, they can become homeless and vulnerable to illegal activities.
Ruben Greg Soto expressed concern for City Council and police corruption.
Dr. S. Safavi noted he has a medical building on the corner of Ball Road and Knott Avenue and
expressed concerns regarding the homeless who are causing damage to the property and
creating health issues. He commented that the Anaheim Police Department has ignored his
complaints and expressed concern that his property is located near a school. He added he was
advised to install more lighting and install a gate on the property. He called upon the City
Council to assist with the matter.
Bob Donelson encouraged the City Council to keep Magic Way open and ensure that Disney
honors its original commitment to the City. He suggested Disney install a bridge for pedestrian
access instead of closing Magic Way.
G. Price encouraged the City Council to review the Disneyland Forward Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) and expressed concern about air quality and quality of life. She cited concerns
regarding the lack of financial commitment to a housing trust. She highlighted a section in the
EIR that states the proposed expansion would have no effect on air quality which she added
does not align with the proposed entitlements. She encouraged the City Council to read the EIR
and the Traffic Study.
Matthew Duncan expressed opposition to Anaheim's coyote trapping and gassing program
effective since 2017. He presented a photo of a carbon dioxide (CO2) gas chamber and noted is
inhumane treatment of the animals. He cited concerns regarding the City's contracted trapper
and their methods. He encouraged the City Council to investigate the concerns.
Duane Roberts reported he has evidence that Disney has filed documents in Florida that it is
planning to build a 1,400-unit affordable housing complex on 80 acres of undeveloped land. He
advised that it will be privately financed and use no government funds. He noted that for the
proposed Disneyland Forward project, Disney only plans on giving the City $30 million for
affordable housing with leveraged government funds. He encouraged the City Council to hold
Disney accountable and negotiate for more affordable housing.

Frank Luna took a moment to recognize the Acjachemen and Gabrielino tribes. He reported he
is representing the Eagleman Housing Project, and explained that the project is aimed at ending
homelessness in Orange County for American Indians and Alaskan Natives. He noted the City
is an American Indian and Alaskan Native hotspot. He encouraged the City Council to support
their advocacy efforts.
Kimberly Rangel, District Representative for Senator Josh Newman, introduced herself to the
City Council and residents. She noted she is an Orange County native and looks forward to
supporting the City of Anaheim.
Cecil Jordan Corkern noted he has been working on security reports for Disney and noted no
one from the City Council has reached out to him to discuss the reports. He expressed his pride
in being part of Anaheim.
Stephanie Mercadante expressed concern for the discrepancies that she keeps finding in the
Disneyland Forward project. She fears that if the project moves forward on misinformation it can
be a losing proposition for the City Council and the community. She thanked Mayor Aitken and
Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz for attending a meeting for those losing their homes on Walnut Street.
She commended Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz for emphasizing that every neighborhood in Anaheim
deserves the same quality of life. She added if the Disneyland Forward project is approved it will
impact the quality of life in her neighborhood. She noted that the City Council is not receiving a
balanced view of the project. She requested that the Council conduct additional research and
question Disney over mailers and community feedback. She noted she will be sending emails to
the City Council regarding the discrepancies.
Bryan Kaye thanked Mayor Aitken and Assistant City Attorney Gregg Audet for taking the time
to communicate with him. He noted several members of the City have used racial slurs against
him including members of Council Member Rubalcava's staff. He referenced a complaint he
filed with Council Member Rubalcava and invited the City Council to meet with him.
Marc Herbert noted that Georgia Price has read the entire Disneyland Forward Environmental
Impact Report (EIR). He highlighted the community members who have worked in the
community to provide information. He encouraged the City Council to work with residents who
know the EIR. He noted that Code Enforcement is providing incorrect information on assistance
for evictions. He encouraged the City Council to work with residents facing eviction on Walnut
Street.
Randy Lewis thanked the City Council for being able to charge his electric vehicle at City Hall
but noted that his tax dollars helped pay for the charger. He urged the City Council to not allow
Magic Way to be closed.
Kenneth Batiste expressed concern that $6.5 million of the City's COVID-19 funds went to Visit
Anaheim with $1.5 million going to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. He recommended that
both organizations be banned from conducting business in Anaheim for the next 10 years
because there have been no consequences for their actions. He noted that rent is going to
triple, and homelessness is going to increase. He encouraged the City Council to help fight for
Anaheim residents.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS:
Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz highlighted and shared photographs of events in District 4 including a
community meeting at Hermosa Village. She thanked the Police Department, Anaheim Public
Utilities, Public Works, and Code Enforcement for addressing issues and answering questions.
The meeting was held to address speeding issues, parking issues, and lighting issues along
Walnut Street and in that general area. She stated she learned about some of the residents that
are being evicted on Walnut Street at that meeting. She participated in a Valentine's Day walk
on Guinida Lane and it was a joy to see changes have been made to address the concerns and
highlighted that Anaheim Public Utilities worked with Guinida Lane apartment managers to
improve the lighting in the area. She thanked the community for contacting the City to request
improvements. Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz thanked Republic Services for addressing trash pickup
issues in District 4. On February 12th, a meeting was held at Hermosa Village to address the
eviction notices that residents on Walnut Street are receiving from the new owners. She
thanked Housing and Community Development Director Grace Ruiz-Stepter and her team for
reaching out to the new owner and getting concessions from the new owner for these residents.
One of the concessions is that residents with school aged children do not have to move until the
school year is over to not interrupt the student's education. The Housing and Community
Development Department team will be assisting individuals in finding a new place to live. She
thanked Mayor Aitken and Code Enforcement staff for attending the meeting. Mayor Pro Tern
Kurtz invited everyone to visit Melchor Bakery in District 4 on the corner of East Street and
Vermont Avenue, which offers Mexican bread, cakes, and pastries. The owner is very proud to
be at his new location surrounded by friendly businesses and welcoming residents.
Council Member Diaz stated that 99 percent of the businesses in District 1 are owned by
immigrants or first generation Americans. He invited everyone to visit Los Alazanes, a Mexican
restaurant at the corner of Knott Avenue and Ball Road. He stated that the owners have five
locations in Southern California and the restaurants are open 24 hours a day. They offer
homemade Mexican food including tacos, burritos, beans, carve asada, al pastor, fish, aguas
frescas, and their prices are affordable. He asked everyone to support local businesses. Council
Member Diaz referenced Senate Bill 357 (SB 357) and stated that August 1, 2022 was a dark
day for California because Governor Newsom signed SB 357 into law legalizing loitering and
solicitation of prostitution in California. He stated that all this law has done is abandon the
victims of human trafficking. He asked Assemblymembers Valencia and Quirk -Silva and
Senators Umberg and Newman to repeal SB 357. Council Member Diaz stated that he read a
report that prostitution has increased in California since SB 357 was signed into law, but stated
he does not need a report to tell him that because he can see an increase in prostitution from
his home. He stated that these women need protection, and he believes they have been
abandoned by SB 357. He encouraged everyone to contact their State Representatives to
repeal SB 357.
Council Member Faessel requested adjourning the City Council meeting in memory of Ken
Heffernan and Thomas Niall Phillips. Mr. Heffernan retired after a 20 year career in 2021 as a
City of Anaheim Public Utility Senior Electric Utility Inspector. He started his career in Anaheim's
warehouse in 2001 and worked his way up to major projects such as undergrounding and
infrastructure upgrades. Thomas Niall Phillips was a District 5 resident for almost 50 years. He
recently passed away at the age of 91. He was born in Legaweei, Ireland and immigrated to the
United States in 1958. He and his wife Isobel purchased their home in Anaheim in 1977 and

the District 3 meeting and stated it was wonderful that she attended and was able to hear

to make a difference in the community by visiting the Love Anaheim website and signing up for
the event. He thanked the entire Meals on Wheels team for the tour of their facilities. He toured
the kitchens where the meals for seniors are made, and he was also able to deliver meals to
members of the community. He also visited their senior daycare program and dropped off
cupcakes. He stated it was great to see seniors in the community being taken care of. Council
Member Leon thanked the Orange County Heritage Council for the opportunity to be a part of
the Black History Parade and Unity Festival. He stated it was a great time and gave a shout out
to Project S.A.Y. Grupo Folklorico for joining the parade. They did an excellent job dancing and

Leon stated that he had an opportunity to volunteer with the County's Point In Time Count a few
weeks ago, along with Supervisor Sarmiento, the City Net Community Care Response, and the
Anaheim Housing and Community Development Team. He stated this was a great opportunity
to see how many homeless individuals are still living on the streets, and how City efforts have or
have not made a difference from two years ago. It was also an opportunity to hear firsthand
stories from unhoused individuals. He thanked everyone who helped organize the count or who
volunteered to be a part of this important effort. Council Member Leon highlighted and displayed
photographs of the January 2024 Business of the Month, Exceed Performance. He stated the
business is a powerlifting gym, located off Euclid Street and Orangewood Avenue. Exceed

opportunity to train at the facility. He thanked the entire team for their dedication and passion to
make Exceed Performance, the powerhouse it is.
Mayor Aitken highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended including the Walnut
Street Community Meeting at Hermosa Village. She thanked the residents who took the time to
walk through the buildings and the owner's representative for listening and taking notes from

Superbowl MVP Patrick Mahomes to Anaheim. Main Street at Disneyland was lined packed with
Kansas City Chiefs fans. She stated it was a fast turnaround for the resort and she was not sure
how they put the parade together so fast, but they made it look seamless. She stated it was an
honor for Anaheim to be able to host the Super Bowl MVP. Mayor Aitken thanked the Orange
County Heritage Council and their team for all the work that goes into the Black History Parade
and Unity Festival. She stated it is an honor for Anaheim to host the only Black History Parade
in Orange County. She thanked the Public Works Department for letting her ride in the brand
new street sweeping truck and stated it was a hit. Mayor Aitken thanked Access California

Access California not only helps the Arab American immigrants and refugees, but also families
from Ukraine, Afghanistan, and from everywhere in the world who are seeking a better life by
coming to the United States. Mayor Aitken stated that she attended the District 3 Community
Meeting as well as meetings in District 1 and 2. She thanked all the residents that came out to

Manager's Office for all the countless work that went into the Strategic Planning Workshop held
at the Anaheim Convention Center. The City Council spent the day providing input that was
received from residents at different community events. Surveys were also filled out by residents
and staff members regarding what they want to see in the City's future. The City's Executive
team also provided input on priorities. Mayor Aitken thanked her City Council colleagues for
thoughtfully listening to each other and trying to find common priorities. She stated that she
looks forward to bringing this back as an initial draft and still soliciting more community input
about what the top priorities of the City should be moving forward.
CITY MANAGER'S UPDATE:
City Manager Vanderpool stated that as a result of the City Council's leadership, staff initiated
the cold weather shelter program for last week's heavy rains. Anaheim First Christian Church
was the first cold weather shelter to open, serving 24 people overnight from February 4th
through 7th. Five individuals were placed into the Anaheim Emergency Shelter at the Salvation
Army campus as part of the next step out of homelessness. He along with Council Member
Faessel visited the campus and was impressed with the church and its operation. The Love
Anaheim team along with Housing and Community Development staff, including Linda Ly, Nadia
Martinez, and Sandy Lozeau, played a big role in setting up and taking in those who stayed.
City Manager Vanderpool referenced a demographic survey of those who stayed at the shelter
and thanked City Net for the critical role they played in gathering the information. The CCRT
team canvassed the City and vetted those on City streets. They provided transit to and from the
church, ensuring no congregation at the shelter to make sure it was a good neighbor. The
program is expanding with two other churches set to be ready in the next two weeks. Staff
continues to monitor forecasts for upcoming rain and other activation conditions.
In late January, the Housing and Community Development team took part in the regional Point
In Time Count. The count takes place every two years to better understand who is living
unsheltered in the City and around the region. The City's team worked a late shift walking La
Palma Park, Pearson Park, and downtown Anaheim, among other areas. The Point In Time
Count will provide insight into the City's homeless community and how best to use resources to
get people off the streets.

BUSINESS CALENDAR:
D116 6. Receive and file the City of Anaheim's response to the California State Auditor's draft
report regarding oversight of tourism related contracts in the City of Anaheim.
Assistant City Manager Greg Garcia reported that the item is to receive and file the City of
Anaheim's response to the California State Auditor's draft report regarding oversight of tourism -
related contracts in the City of Anaheim. He reported that on August 4, 2023, Assemblymember
Avelino Valencia requested that the Joint Legislative Audit Committee approve an urgent state
audit to review public funds that were disbursed to Visit Anaheim and the Anaheim Chamber of
Commerce. He noted this request came shortly after an internal investigation, commissioned by
the City of Anaheim, containing findings that alleged potential misuse of public funds by Visit
Anaheim and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.
Assistant City Manager Garcia advised that after working with staff from the State Auditor's
office over the next several months, the completed audit report was released on January 30,
2024. He reported that among the findings, in the report, the State Auditor found that the City
lacked a meaningful contract monitoring process to properly manage tourism -related contracts
and funds. He explained that as part of their report, the State Auditor made four key
recommendations to the City.
Assistant City Manager Garcia reported that on January 11, 2024, the City provided a formal
response to the State Auditor, welcoming the recommendations and providing initial steps for
implementation. He advised that Recommendation 1 recommended that the City Council
designate an advisory board by July 2024 to make recommendations regarding how Anaheim
Tourism Improvement District (ATID) funds should be expended. He noted that the board
should include, at a minimum, some of the owners of the assessed properties within the tourism
district, legal counsel, and a person knowledgeable in government finance. He reported that the
City responded that it would begin exploring the process of establishing an independent
advisory board to assist the City in the oversight of ATID expenditures and activities. He noted
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 13 of 32
that City staff is working on developing a recommendation for an advisory board within the
guidelines of the ATID plan.
Assistant City Manager Garcia reported that Recommendation 2 recommended that Anaheim
should develop a contract management, monitoring, and oversight process that aligns with the
practices outlined in the corresponding provision of the State Contracting Manual by January
2025. He advised that it was also recommended that the City should implement policies and
procedures for its professional service contracts that require it to track contract deadlines,
deliverables, and contractors' use of funds, as well as perform periodic compliance audits and
reviews of contractors' financial records. He reported that the City responded that it supports the
conclusion that there is always room for improvement in the City's existing contract oversight
procedures and will begin work on adopting a set of policies and procedures specifically for
professional service contracts. He noted staff welcomes enhancing the provisions and adopting
new administrative regulations and State regulations into practice in Anaheim.
Assistant City Manager Garcia reported that Recommendation 3 recommends that the City
renegotiate the contract with Visit Anaheim by January 2025 to improve oversight and to ensure
that it includes key performance indicators to allow the City to better gauge how effectively Visit
Anaheim is using ATID funds including hotel occupancy rates, Convention Center bookings, and
number of presentations made to Convention Center Executives, require Visit Anaheim to track
all expenditures related to the contract and prohibit from commingling ATID with other revenue
sources, prohibit Visit Anaheim from transferring ATID funds to another entity without the City's
prior approval and full compliance with the subcontracting provisions of the tourism district
assessment contract, and require Visit Anaheim to develop a plan for oversight of any
subcontractor and provide documentation of this oversight annually to the City. He reported that
the City responded that it supports this recommendation and has already started the dialogue
with Visit Anaheim to improve the management of these funds and the reporting that is
necessary to ensure that performance indicators and benchmarks are being properly
established and met annually. He noted the City will begin discussions with Visit Anaheim about
specific changes to the contract that could be considered in a timely fashion.
Assistant City Manager Garcia reported that Recommendation 4 recommends that the City
assess whether it received adequate consideration for the 2019 economic development contract
or the 2020 shop and dine local contract. He explained that if the city finds that it did not receive
adequate consideration, then the City should explore its restitution mechanisms under contract
law to obtain a return of those funds. He reported that the City responded that the City and the
Audit Division will begin exploring the audit provisions within these two agreements to further
assess whether restitution is appropriate.
Assistant City Manager Garcia reported that the Audit Division is reviewing the contracts
mentioned in the audit and will present the findings once that is completed. He advised the City
is in the process of implementing all four recommendations. He noted that staff is planning to
bring these items to the City Council as soon as they are ready for consideration and staff
anticipates they will all be completed well within the timeframes outlined by the State Auditor.
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Leon, Assistant City Manager Garcia responded
that the City Council will appoint members of the advisory board. He noted that the staff is
currently in the process of benchmarking similar cities to understand best practices and will
bring a recommendation back to the City Council.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 14 of 32
Council Member Leon inquired if advisory board members would have any authority or if they
would only be advising the City Council. Assistant City Manager Garcia stated the purpose
would be to advise the City Council and act as another set of eyes. He noted there is already a
board that manages the ATID funds on behalf of Visit Anaheim, and this would be an added
level of oversight.
In response to Council Member Leon, Assistant City Manager Garcia confirmed there would be
procedures established for the advisory board should they find any discrepancies.
Council Member Leon inquired about how many contracts go through Visit Anaheim annually.
Executive Director of Convention, Sports & Entertainment Tom Morton reported that there are
40 to 50 subcontracts annually.
In response to Council Member Leon, Executive Director Morton explained that Visit Anaheim is
the sales and marketing arm for bringing conventions to Anaheim. He noted the actual
convention contract is with the City's Convention Center. He noted Visit Anaheim sells the
destination and assists with coordinating contact between companies and hotels and the City.
Council Member Leon inquired why the service that Visit Anaheim provides is not brought in-
house. Executive Director Morton explained that the sales and marketing component is a very
unique operation, and it would require a lot of capital along with the sales team being incentive
or commission -based which is not how a government entity operates.
In response to Council Member Leon, Executive Director Morton explained that there is a
Garden Grove Tourism Improvement District (TID) that provides funds along with membership
fees as they are a 501(c)(6) as an additional source of revenue to Visit Anaheim. He noted that
ATID makes up approximately 95% of the funding source for Visit Anaheim.
Council Member Leon inquired about the timeline for Recommendation 4. Assistant City
Manager Garcia reported that the state did not give the City a timeline, but he does not
anticipate any delays since the Audit Division is already reviewing the contracts and can
complete the process in a couple of months. Council Member Leon requested regular updates
from City staff.
Council Member Leon inquired if the City would be allowed to restructure ATID funds as per
Assemblymember Valencia's recommendation. Assistant City Manager Garcia noted he would
need to review Assemblymember Valencia's letter. He noted that the funds collected are not
City funds and are private funds specifically for marketing the resort which the Council does not
control. He remarked that there has been discussion about reconstituting the TID, but it would
require a restructuring of the TO which requires the approval of the hoteliers since it is their
private agreement.
Council Member Rubalcava expressed appreciation for a good audit and expressed support for
the recommendations from the State. She recommended that the City Council consider creating
an Ad -Hoc committee to support staff since this is a policy opportunity for the City Council. She
requested Assistant City Manager Garcia to expand upon the TO dollars as public funds. She
noted that the State determined, through the audit, that the funds are now public dollars. She
remarked that the point she is trying to make is that the City was not intentionally not providing
oversight on how the TID dollars were spent by Visit Anaheim until this new determination was
made.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 15 of 32
Assistant City Manager Garcia explained that when ATID was established in 2010, this was
always considered a private assessment. He noted that it is a 2% assessment that the hoteliers
could either pay themselves out of their own pockets or pass it on to their guests. He explained
that most are paid for by the hotel guest and is listed in the folio. He further explained that the
City collects the funds as part of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) process and sends them
back to the entity for marketing. He noted the City was always under the impression that the
funds belonged to the entity and were not classified as public funds. He explained that while the
City works very closely with Visit Anaheim on their marketing activities, having real oversight
over the funds was something the City did not think twice about. He noted that the State has
deemed them public funds through the audit, and as a result, has led to the recommendation
that the City provide oversight.
Council Member Rubalcava inquired if the Visit Anaheim is a separate 501(c)(6), and not tied to
the City. Assistant City Manager Garcia confirmed they are a separate 501(c)(6). She inquired if
there would be an opportunity to have a different entity collect the TID dollars and direct them to
Visit Anaheim to remove the City from that process. Assistant City Manager Garcia noted that
was possible but is not something staff explored but can address during the next steps.
Council Member Rubalcava noted that would be a method to remove liability from the City. She
requested that staff investigate how Visit California is set up and inquire if the results of the audit
also require other visitor bureaus to have the same oversight.
Council Member Rubalcava inquired about what was happening with the City during the time of
the pandemic and the reason for providing Visit Anaheim and the Anaheim Chamber of
Commerce funding. She noted she takes accusations about the City's lack of contractual
processes very seriously. Assistant City Manager Garcia explained that at the onset of the
pandemic, the City Council pointed out key areas that needed to be addressed and chose to
draw agreements with those entities. He noted, at the time, no one could predict how long the
pandemic would last but the City Council found it important to keep the resort running. He
explained that the thought was that it would allow the marketing teams to continue their work so
business could resume once the pandemic was over. He reported that similar agreements were
drawn up with local restaurants for the Shop, Dine, Local program to keep restaurant doors
open. He noted that a contract with the Anaheim Community Foundation was implemented to
put dollars on the street immediately to help the nonprofits assist the City. He remarked that
many cities in California were trying to do the same thing and working under a sense of urgency
and expediency rather than oversight and key performance measures.
Council Member Rubalcava remarked that if the City Council agrees to create an Ad -Hoc
committee, it will look for opportunities to create policies during pandemic -like situations. She
referenced an earlier public speaker and noted that Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz agendized reviewing
how the TID was allocated to see if a portion of that could be used for housing across the City
because there might be enough reserves to do that.
Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz agreed with Council Member Rubalcava and hopes that every TID across
the state is reviewing the audit and feels that the results will be far-reaching across the state.
She also expressed an interest in learning more about Visit California and how they operate.
She thanked the City staff and the City Council for taking ownership of the audit and the
recommendations. She admired staff for accepting the determination that these are public funds
and accepting the recommendations upfront.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 16 of 32
Council Member Meeks echoed the sentiments that the City did not think these were public
funds and did not feel it had the right to audit these funds. She reported that the City has an
excellent Audit Division and feels strongly that an Ad -Hoc committee does not help the process.
Council Member Diaz expressed support for Council Member Rubalcava's recommendation
about having the hoteliers collect their funds to remove the City from the process. He inquired if
the State audit found any misuse of City funds by Visit Anaheim or the Anaheim Chamber of
Commerce. Assistant City Manager Garcia reported that the State did believe that some funds
were misused by both entities. He explained that they pointed to the contract that the City has
with Visit Anaheim and some of the provisions within the contract that were not followed to the
letter and were misused for unallowable activities. He noted that the ATID funds that went to
Visit Anaheim were subcontracted with the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and were then
used for political advocacy activities. He noted they pointed out that they may have also used
funds for their Political Action Committee (PAC) but are still awaiting confirmation of that finding
because it has serious consequences.
Council Member Diaz noted he did not see any evidence within the report to indicate misuse of
the funds. He added in the report the State changed the interpretation of state advocacy and
according to the report, every Chamber of Commerce advocating for business would be in
violation.
Council Member Rubalcava noted that Congressman Lou Correa announced he would be
conducting a separate audit. She noted it is a Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)
violation if misuse of funds by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is verified and should not fall
on the City. She inquired if staff could ask Congressman Correa's office if they can further
explore that through the FPPC.
City Attorney Robert Fabela remarked that he is unsure how the federal auditing process works,
but what he has seen so far is just a request from the Attorney General to conduct an audit
under the assumption that federal funds were utilized for campaign activities. He noted there is
contradictory evidence that these are federal funds. He agreed with Assistant City Manager
Garcia that the most troubling finding that would come from the report would be that funds from
ATID were used for campaign activity. He assured the City Council that staff are making efforts
to work with the State to receive the evidence that supports that allegation.
Council Member Rubalcava inquired that if the allegations prove true, is it the responsibility of
the City to do anything. City Attorney Fabela explained that at best there would be a Breach of
Contract claim. He noted if illegal activity was found, staff would look at other legal options.
Council Member Rubalcava remarked that if the allegations are proven true, then the City
should respond to Congressman Correa's request to have the Attorney General conduct an
audit, investigate the FPPC allegations, and provide the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce
recommendations to reform their current process.
MOTION: Council Member Rubalcava moved to receive and file the City of Anaheim's
response to the California State Auditor's draft report regarding oversight of tourism related
contracts in the City of Anaheim, seconded by Council Member Meeks. ROLL CALL VOTE:
AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Kurtz, Diaz, Leon, Rubalcava, Faessel, and
Meeks); NOES — 0. Motion carried.

issued to Axis General Construction and Mechanical Services, in the amount of
$69,896.48, for materials and emergency repair services to mitigate issues with the
booster pumps at Anaheim West Tower.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz inquired if the funds spent in September were to provide
emergency repair services to mitigate issues with the booster pumps at Anaheim West Tower
Public Works Director Rudy Emami reported that the contractor was brought in to do the
emergency repairs and is currently maintaining the system while the City waits for all the
equipment to arrive.
Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz inquired about the delay in bringing the item to the City Council and
waiving the sealed bid instead of addressing the item in December. Director Emami explained
that there is an operational process, for the City to be nimble, to ratify items to address
emergencies or something that is time -sensitive under Department Head or City Manager
authority and then present the item to Council for transparency and ratification of the work done.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz, Director Emami noted the delay in presenting the item
was due to finalizing the pricing.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz moved to waive the sealed bid requirement of Council Policy
4.0 and ratify the purchase order issued to Axis General Construction and Mechanical Services,
in the amount of $69,896.48, for materials and emergency repair services to mitigate issues with

D180 issued to Republic EVS, LLC, in the amount of $132,562.64 plus applicable tax, for the
replacement purchase of a chassis and emergency repair services to repair a damaged
ambulance for Anaheim Fire and Rescue.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz commented that her inquiry was the same for Item No. 07
and inquired if the reasoning was the same. Director Emami explained that with this item, there
was an opportunity for the City to be nimble, an ambulance was in an accident, but it was
determined that the ambulance module could be salvaged. He explained the delay in coming
before the City Council was due to staff waiting to receive the final bill for the repair.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz moved to waive the sealed bid requirement of Council Policy
4.0 and ratify the purchase order issued to Republic EVS, LLC, in the amount of $132,562.64

maintenance, and licensing for Anaheim Fire and Rescue; authorize the Purchasing
Agent to revise the contract amount for ongoing costs, as needed, for future contract
renewal years, in accordance with yearly budget appropriations; and authorize the City
Manager, or designee, to execute the Software License Agreement.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 18 of 32
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz inquired why the sealed bid requirement was waived. Fire
Chief Patrick Russell explained that BOLDplanning, Inc. provides a comprehensive cloud -based
emergency planning system. He noted that while other emergency management software is
available, such as WebEOC, the BOLDplanning software focuses on the documentation needed
for emergency response, and no other program would be able to meet all the City's needs.
Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz requested confirmation that this was the only software that met the City's
needs. Fire Chief Russell reported that Emergency Manager Dr. Jannine Wilmoth reviewed over
70 software offerings, but BOLDplanning was the only one that met the City's needs and
allowed changes in the plan to propagate to all the plans at once.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz moved to waive the sealed bid requirement of Council Policy
4.0 and authorize the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to issue a purchase order to
BOLDplanning Inc., in the amount of $65,428 plus applicable tax, to develop a web based
software platform, provide annual maintenance, and licensing for Anaheim Fire and Rescue;

tax, to perform upfitting services for police patrol vehicles on an as -needed basis for a
one-year period with up to four one-year optional renewal periods and authorize the
Purchasing Agent to execute the renewal options in accordance with Bid# 9754.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz remarked that she understood that this item is to upfit new
police patrol vehicles, and she knows that there have been issues with refurbishing older
vehicles. She inquired if that helps to mitigate those issues. Director Emami explained that the
first batch of 10 vehicles had been received from an order that was placed in 2022. He noted
that 63 vehicles will be received, and the three firms will help with the upfitting and bringing the
vehicles into service as soon as possible. He reported that the challenge with the older vehicles
is that they were retired and then brought back into service due to the supply chain issue. He
confirmed that those older vehicles will be retired again as new vehicles are brought into
service.
Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz inquired if minor repairs are conducted in-house. Director Emami
confirmed that minor repairs are conducted in-house but the upfitting which is conducted
externally outfits the vehicle with all the police department's specialized needs.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz, Director Emami confirmed minor repairs will still be
conducted in-house.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz moved to accept the bids from Airwave Communications Ent.,
Inc., West Coast Lights & Sirens, Inc., and Commline, Inc., in a combined amount of

D175 17. RESOLUTION NO. 2024-009 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM authorizing the City Engineer to approve plans and designs of
construction, or an improvement to, public property or to approve standards for such
construction or improvement and rescinding Resolution No. 2007-017.
Director Emami reported that the item is a resolution to authorize the City Engineer to approve
plans and designs for construction. He advised that Section 1.0412 of the Anaheim Municipal
Code provides that the City Engineer shall perform any and all engineering functions as
necessary or required in connection with City -owned property, buildings and equipment, and
public works. He explained that the resolution authorizes the current and future City Engineer as
appointed by the Director of Public Works to approve plans and designs. He advised that the
adoption of this resolution complies with Section 830.6 of the California Government Code to
provide the City of Anaheim immunity from certain liability relating to the approval of plans or
designs when such plans or designs have been approved by an employee when given such
authority by the City Council.
Director Emami explained that this is an update to the previous resolution that referred to the
previous City Engineer by name and is now being referenced by title to maintain the design
immunity by the City.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Rubalcava requested that Director Emami explain the role of
the City Engineer. Director Emami explained that the code states that when the City Engineer
approves any public improvement or public works, per a standard or deviation from that
standard, and there is some sort of accident or incident, the California Code provides design
immunity for the City. Approval of the resolution will provide design immunity for the City
Engineer.
Council Member Rubalcava inquired if the code gives the City Engineer significant decision -
making powers. Director Emami explained that the City Engineer has their professional license
on the line and is bound to make ethical and professional decisions.
Council Member Rubalcava inquired if this position utilizes consultants to make their decisions.
Director Emami explained that this position oversees the Engineering Design Division and has
in-house licensed engineers for everyday projects. He confirmed that consultants are utilized for
specific specialized talents and for mitigating ebbs and flows in grant funding. He noted the City
utilizes a good mix of in-house staff and consultants.
Council Member Rubalcava requested a meeting with Director Emami about the use of
consultants. She referenced a meeting with a contractor who expressed concerns about the use
of consultants.
Council Member Diaz remarked that the City Engineer has big responsibilities. He noted that it
is more cost-effective to use consultants for more specialized engineering activities.
MOTION: Council Member Diaz moved to approve RESOLUTION NO, 2024-009 A

THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ratifying and approving the actions of the Director of
Community Services, or designee, in submitting an application for grant funds to the
California State Library for the Haskett Makerspace and Media Lab Project and
authorizing the acceptance of such funding on behalf of the City and amending the
budget accordingly, and determining that these actions are exempt from The California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Guideline Section 15306 (grant funds in
the amount of $300,000).
DISCUSSION: Council Member Diaz recognized Director of Community Services Sjany
Larson -Cash and her staff for procuring a $300,000 grant from the State for the Haskett Branch
Library which serves Districts 1 and 2. He inquired what would the grant funds provide.
Director Larson -Cash reported the funds will be used for the construction of the Haskett
Makerspace and Media Lab. She explained it will allow residents to learn new things while being
creative and collaborative. She noted the Makerspace will be a place where individuals with
shared interests, especially in computing and technology, can gather to work on projects while
sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge. She reported the Media Lab will provide a space to
record music, create videos and podcasts, and digitalize photos, videos, and sound recordings.
She noted these spaces will be equipped with 3-D printers, laser cutters, various milling
devices, and more for hands-on learning devices. She summarized the funds will be used to
construct and outfit the space.
Council Member Diaz expressed his enthusiasm for the item.
Council Member Meeks congratulated staff and noted it is a great, innovative idea and cannot
wait to get one in District 6.
Council Member Leon echoed his colleagues' congratulations and noted that Haskett is his
home library where he grew up and is excited to see the new opportunities for students.

the actions of the Director of Community Services, or designee, in submitting an application for
grant funds to the California State Library for the Haskett Makerspace and Media Lab Project
and authorizing the acceptance of such funding on behalf of the City and amending the budget
accordingly, and determining that these actions are exempt from The California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Guideline Section 15306 (grant funds in the amount of
$300,000), seconded by Council Member Leon. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken

M142 22• ORDINANCE NO. _6567 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM amending certain sections of Chapter 1.09 of Title 1 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code to impose limitations on loans to, and the retirement of outstanding debt
incurred by, candidates and candidate -controlled committees [setting limits on the
amount that candidates may lend to their campaigns, requiring notice of independent
expenditure communications, and requiring candidate to retire campaign debt within
twelve months of an election].
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024

City Attorney Fabela reported that on January 23, 2024, the City Council voted to direct staff to
take the following campaign -related actions to be presented on February 13, 2024, as a first
reading of an ordinance. He reported that the City Council voted to place a $100,000 limit on the
amount that candidates may lend to their campaigns, consistent with California law, set a limit
for candidates to retire their campaign debt within 12 months following the election, and similar
to the County of Orange, require anyone who makes an independent expenditure of $1,000 or
more for any communication in support of or in opposition to any city candidate to provide
written Notice of Independent Expenditure Communication to all candidates running for that
same office, and to the City Clerk, at least twenty-four (24) hours before the first publication,
distribution, dissemination, or broadcast of the that communication.
City Attorney Fabela reported that the City Council deadlocked, 3-3, on whether the City Clerk
would be required to post on the City website any submitted Independent Expenditure
Communications. He explained that under the Council's Rules of Procedure, any City Council
vote that results in a tie due to the absence of one or more members who would have voted on
the matter is continued to the next meeting for further consideration. He noted Council Member
Diaz had left the January 23rd meeting by the time the item was voted upon. He explained that
for expediency, staff included the "posting" requirement in the draft version of the ordinance. He
advised that the City Council may choose to introduce the version of the draft ordinance as
presented or may also introduce a version of the ordinance with that provision stricken.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Aitken thanked Craig Steele for helping the City navigate the ordinance.
She requested follow-up information on concerns brought forward by Shirley Grindle during
public comments regarding clean-up language.
Council Member Meeks commented that she had questions about posting the campaign
materials for Independent Expenditures (IE). She noted that she voted against it at the last
meeting and when she read the staff report she still had concerns. She questioned what
problem it is trying to solve and what problems it might create. She reported that she had her
staff do some research and encountered issues including gaps allowing member
communications to be distributed and creating opportunities for nefarious actions for the IE to
file a report providing notification to candidates before any information is distributed. She
reported there are gaps in advertising digital money spent by IEs and gaps for slate mailers.
She summarized that it creates a potentially nefarious mess. She expressed support for the
ordinance absent the campaign mailer notification piece.
MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6567
(INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending certain sections of
Chapter 1.09 of Title 1 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to impose limitations on loans to, and the
retirement of outstanding debt incurred by, candidates and candidate -controlled committees
[setting limits on the amount that candidates may lend to their campaigns, requiring notice of
independent expenditure communications, and requiring candidate to retire campaign debt
within twelve months of an election], with the removal of Section 2 of the Ordinance regarding
Notice of Independent Expenditure Communications.
Council Member Rubalcava remarked that she sees the issues with the IE element and sees
the constitutional issues that could arise.

(INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending certain sections of
Chapter 1.09 of Title 1 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to impose limitations on loans to, and the
retirement of outstanding debt incurred by, candidates and candidate -controlled committees
[setting limits on the amount that candidates may lend to their campaigns, requiring notice of

Notice of Independent Expenditure Communications, seconded by Council Member Rubalcava.
Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz expressed support for Council Member Meeks' motion.
Council Member Faessel expressed concerns that the City Clerk would be aware of what the
IEs are doing before residents. He concurred with the motion on the floor.
Mayor Aitken noted that these are issues that she brought up previously. She feels strongly that
the City Council should not be carving out communications and that everyone should be treated
the same. She remarked that her real concern is the misinformation that voters receive where it
is not clear who is behind them. She clarified that all the forms for IEs, donations, or forming a
committee are on the City's website. She noted that the forms are difficult to navigate and
difficult to understand. She inquired about how to create a system on the City Clerk's website
that makes it easier to navigate and identify who is distributing the mailers. She expressed
support for the motion to move forward, however, did note the importance of making elections
more transparent and more accessible for the average person.
Council Member Rubalcava commented she does not think it is beneficial to have mailers or
digital ads on the City's website because it gives the IEs more power. She highlighted that the
mailers are required by law to identify the Political Action Committee (PAC) name. She inquired
about the percentage of the expenditure that makes the PAC a dominant contributor of an IE.
Mr. Steele believed the threshold to be $50,000. He confirmed there is a major funder threshold
and a threshold for disclosing based on different kinds of communication.
Council Member Rubalcava noted that for her it would be empowering the IEs that the City has
no control over, to now have a life on the City's website in perpetuity. She expressed concern
about accurate information being displayed on the City's website and that residents will believe
the information published simply because it is on the City's website. She reiterated her
concurrence with the motion on the floor.
Council Member Leon commented that PACs are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars
and that is where the power lies. He expressed support for Mayor Aitken's suggestion of
exploring ways to make the messaging more accessible. He noted that he has navigated the
City's website and finds the information difficult to find. He inquired if there were ways to make
the website more accessible and inquired if he needed a motion to provide direction.
City Attorney Fabela recommended tabling the item being discussed on the City Clerk's website
and bringing it back later.
Council Member Leon noted his requests are to increase transparency and notify the public on
expenditures. He expressed his support for the motion on the floor. He inquired if City Attorney
Fabela was able to look at the suggestions from Ms. Grindle during public comments.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 23 of 32
City Attorney Fabela confirmed he had reviewed the suggestions from Ms. Grindle and noted
that she is diligent and has made good suggestions which can be brought back for future City
Council consideration. He clarified that none of Ms. Grindle's recommendations are vital to what
the City Council is considering. He explained the City Council could pass the motion that is on
the floor today or continue the discussion to bring back Ms. Grindle's suggestions for
consideration.
Council Member Leon recommended bringing Ms. Grindle's recommendations back to the City
Council for consideration. He expressed his appreciation to Ms. Grindle for her comments.
Mayor Aitken asked the City Attorney that when Municipal Code language is being cleaned up,
it needs to be agendized and voted upon. City Attorney Fabela explained that minor changes
can be handled administratively unless there are significant changes to the code. He noted that
campaign contribution limits change every two years. He explained the change is presented by
the City Clerk to the City Council for approval. He recommended that all changes be brought
back to the City Council for approval.
Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz inquired if the motion would be voted on this evening. Mayor Aitken
confirmed that there is a motion and a second to approve the item with the removal of Section 2.
Council Member Diaz noted that the City's main website shows information that is pertinent to
residents' daily lives. He noted that everything cannot be on the main page. He emphasized that
the information that people are looking for is already on the website.
Council Member Faessel referenced the requirement for candidates to retire their campaign
debt within 12 months following the election. He inquired about what happens if the candidate
does not comply. City Attorney Fabela explained that if approved, it would not cover past
campaigns, only future campaigns.
Mr. Steele explained that debt forgiveness will be considered a contribution unless it is debt
forgiveness from a commercial institution. He further explained it depends on who holds the
debt as to how it will be considered. He confirmed that there is a risk in making a loan to a
candidate.
Council Member Meeks agreed with Council Member Diaz's comments about the website. She
conceded that the City's website does not have the greatest search capabilities. She
recommended it be added to the communications effort of the Strategic Plan to better inform
and communicate with residents.
City Attorney Fabela clarified that the motion on the floor is to accept the amendments to the
Municipal Code, except for in Section 2, Section 1.09.125 entitled Notice of Independent
Expenditure Communications.

ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Kurtz, Diaz, Leon,

M142 23. Determine that the proposed actions are not subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State
CEQA Guidelines because they will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment and are not a "project," as that term is
defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
ORDINANCE NO. 6568 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM amending the Title of Chapter 4.52 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
from "Peddlers and Solicitors" to "Solicitors and Sidewalk Vendors"; amending certain
Sections of Chapter 4.52 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to establish operational
standards for sidewalk vendors in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare; to
provide an additional enforcement mechanism and appeal process for a violation of
sidewalk vendor regulations; and to make other modifications consistent therewith.
Deputy City Manager/Planning and Building Director Ted White reported that the item is a
proposed amendment to the City's Municipal Code that would update regulations for Sidewalk
Vending and updates detailing enforcement efforts related to the issue. He advised that in 2018,
the State of California adopted Senate Bill (SB) 946, also known as the Safe Sidewalk Vending
Act, which decriminalized sidewalk vending across the state. He noted the law allows cities to
adopt local laws to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the City. He reported that in
November 2018, the City adopted a sidewalk vending ordinance.
Deputy City Manager White reported that since the adoption of SB 946, there has been a
significant increase in unpermitted sidewalk vending in the City. He explained that despite the
creation of a low-cost permit which is $36 for the vendor permit and a total of $172 with
business licensing and processing fees included, only five flower vendors have obtained permits
since 2018 and no food vendors have obtained permits. He explained this is primarily because
food vendors are required to obtain Orange County Health Care Agency approval before
obtaining a City -issued sidewalk vendor permit. He noted that the vast majority of food vendors
are unable to meet County Health standards. He explained that while vendors are also required
to obtain a California Seller's Permit from the California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration, many operate cash -only businesses and do not have a Seller's Permit.
Deputy City Manager White reported that the first type of vendors encountered are large-scale
sidewalk food vendors that have restaurant -style cooking operations, work primarily on nights
and weekends, prepare food products on -site, use propane and/or generators for power, have
multiple employees at a given location, and are often part of larger, out-of-town companies that
may operate at multiple locations.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 25 of 32
Deputy City Manager White reported that the second type of vendors encountered are food
carts at large event centers that consist of small-scale, mobile, propane -powered food carts,
primarily operating at large sporting and concert events at Angel Stadium and Honda Center,
consisting of 25 to 75 vendors or more at a single event, and sell drinks, including alcoholic
beverages, from drink coolers.
Deputy City Manager White reported that the third type of vendors encountered are sidewalk
food, goods, and merchandise vendors in the Anaheim Resort that sell food, water, and
merchandise mainly on Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue and operate from small, mobile
carts, coolers, or ground displays including fruit and snack vendors.
Deputy City Manager White reported that the fourth type of vendors encountered are small-
scale sidewalk food and merchandise vendors that consist of small-scale, roaming carts or
stands that sell foods and goods such as fruits, flowers, or ice cream with locations varying
citywide and include major intersections, freeway off -ramps, parks, and within various
residential neighborhoods.
Deputy City Manager White reported the final type of vendor is small goods and service
providers that are located on sidewalks near big box retailers and/or major intersections and bus
stops that offer Lifeline/government-subsidized phone services and devices, and typically
operate during daytime hours. He noted they are characterized by small shade structures and
tables for paperwork transactions.
Deputy City Manager White reported in May 2023, City staff and Orange County Health Care
Agency provided a presentation to Council on sidewalk food vendors in Anaheim. The
presentation included an overview of state laws, the legal pathway for food vendors, a
description of the city's partnership with the county on enforcement, and the impacts of sidewalk
vending on public health, safety and welfare including lack of proper food handling/preparation
and storage, proper food temperature control, food sourcing, and unsanitary conditions. He
noted the additional health and safety impacts include obstruction of public right of ways in
violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. He noted other impacts include the disposal of
fats, oils, and grease into storm drains along with grease and residue on sidewalks resulting in
potential 'slip and fall' incidents. He advised that additional health and safety issues include the
use of open flames, the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages, and the obstruction of city
infrastructure including fire hydrants.
Deputy City Manager White reported that over the past year, the City has taken several steps to
further address unpermitted sidewalk vending. He advised that enforcement efforts have
primarily focused on large-scale sidewalk food vendors that operate citywide, food carts at large
event centers, and sidewalk food, goods, and merchandise vendors in the Anaheim Resort. He
noted that enforcement efforts are focused on these types of vendors because of their greater
impacts on the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.
Deputy City Manager White reported that Code Enforcement has increased proactive
enforcement patrols from approximately two nights per week to an average of six nights per
week. He advised that coordinated enforcement patrols with County Health inspectors have
increased from approximately two nights per month to twice per week. He reported that Code
Enforcement has also increased enforcement patrols in the Anaheim Resort and partnered with
the City's sports and concert venues on strategic enforcement initiatives. He explained that
these efforts resulted in an increase in administrative citations from 141 citations issued in 2022
to 423 citations in 2023. Lastly, he reported that in partnership with Orange County Health
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 26 of 32
inspectors, staff confiscated the food and/or equipment of 112 vendors in 2022 and 174 vendors
in 2023.
Deputy City Manager White reported that in addition to increased code enforcement efforts, staff
also conducted educational and informational outreach to vendors regarding pathways to
compliance and collaborated with the State Department of Tax & Fee Administration to
investigate vendors operating without a required state seller's permit. He advised that staff has
also engaged with the Orange County Human Trafficking Taskforce to share stories of potential
labor trafficking of vendors, as well as initiated a multi -city collaboration with neighboring cities
to develop and share best practices. Lastly, he noted that extensive City resources have been
deployed for the clean-up and restoration of public spaces by the Public Works Department.
Deputy City Manager White presented the proposed code amendment that includes prohibiting
the use of shade structures that unduly obstruct the right-of-way, prohibiting vending to
occupants of motorized vehicles in operation, requiring the maintenance of free movement of
pedestrians and vehicles, prohibiting signs other than those affixed to a Vending Display Device
Require trash receptacles and cleaning of vendor area within 25 feet, requiring proper disposal
of fats, oils, greases, and prohibiting the attachment of vending devices and equipment to city
infrastructure.
Deputy City Manager White explained that a significant change in the ordinance is that Code
Enforcement will have the authority to impound vendor equipment and/or goods if they are
abandoned on public property, operated in violation of the Municipal Code and there is a refusal
to remove the equipment, or create an imminent and substantial safety or environmental
hazard.
Deputy City Manager White reported that the proposed code amendment would reduce barriers
to obtaining a Sidewalk Vendors Permit by eliminating requirements in the application process
related to applicant background information, such as former residences and places of business,
or the listing of any convictions in the last five years along with updating the Terms and
Definitions for clarity.
Deputy City Manager White reported that the Code Enforcement Division has adjusted work
schedules and reprioritized assignments to respond to the increase in sidewalk vending. He
explained that supplemental resources will likely be necessary to sustain ongoing enforcement
efforts. He remarked that additional contracted code enforcement officers may also be beneficial
to assist with enforcement capabilities at various city events, including parades, festivals, and
school graduations.
Deputy City Manager White reported that a Request for Proposals (RFP) for contract code
enforcement staff is currently being prepared by staff for future consideration by the City
Council. He explained that funding for any contract code enforcement services would be
considered as part of the upcoming Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget. He noted that staff will work
with the City's partners at our large sports and entertainment venues regarding the cost
associated with supplemental code enforcement services.
Deputy City Manager White noted that the proposed amendments to the Anaheim Municipal
Code are just one of many steps in the City's ongoing efforts to address health and safety
concerns linked to sidewalk vending. He explained that as part of these efforts, a dedicated
webpage, in multiple languages, on sidewalk vending has been developed to enhance the City
website navigation, making the permitting process clearer and more accessible. He noted the
webpage also serves to raise awareness about the City's support for businesses, including
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 27 of 32
sidewalk vendors, showcasing programs like Emprendedor@s and the Business Assistance
Program (BAP), which provides valuable assistance and guidance to entrepreneurial
businesses. He noted that the existing Sidewalk Vending Informational Handout will be updated
to reflect the new regulations and processes.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Diaz remarked that he has already seen a reduction in street
vendors and commended staff for their hard work. He referenced a photograph of street
vendors that Deputy City Manager White had presented earlier and noted that while he used to
think that street vendors were mom-and-pop shops, all the carts are identical, which leads to
suspicion of human trafficking. He remarked that the cost to the City to clean up after street
vendors is significant. He noted that street vendors do not receive fair wages and have no
protections. He expressed support for education and outreach to show true mom-and-pop
vendors that there is a legal path for their business. Lastly, he expressed support for the
ordinance.
Council Member Meeks agreed that the vendors are not mom-and-pop operations for the most
part and noted they are unsanitary and causing Citywide safety issues. She expressed concern
regarding the impoundment authority if vendors refuse to move. She noted that Code
Enforcement cannot chase vendors from corner to corner. Deputy City Manager White
explained that the City believes this ordinance strikes the right balance between street vendor
due process and protections for the City. He recommends moving forward with the ordinance
and making changes if necessary.
Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz recalled walking down Harbor Boulevard and noted she would see
families with strollers or residents in wheelchairs needing to enter the street to get around the
street vendors. She agreed that this is a safety issue that needs attention. She inquired about
the costs of the appropriate permits. Deputy City Manager White explained that $175 is
approximately the all -in permit fee which includes business licensing and processing fees.
Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz commented that she has heard that the street vendors cannot afford that
expense. She inquired if there is anything the City can assist with for a vendor who wants to do
the right thing but cannot afford the permit and licensing fees. Deputy City Manager White
explained that the City Council has full discretion to set fees and/or authorize the waiver of fees.
He referenced a recent article that indicated that the County of Los Angeles was working on a
grant program that would reduce the fees from $600 to $150. He explained that the City's
baseline fee is already in line with their reduced fee.
Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz inquired about the programs previously described in the staff report.
Deputy City Manager White reported that Emprendedor@s is a program within the Economic
Development Department that works with new entrepreneurs to start their businesses and has
been highly successful. He reported the BAP is available to all businesses and are dedicated
Business Assistance Specialists within the Planning Department.
Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz reported speaking with Economic Development Director Sergio Ramirez
and encouraged a program for educational outreach and assistance in Spanish in an area like
Ponderosa to be developed after the ordinance goes into effect.
Council Member Rubalcava requested more information regarding what staff learned from the
Human Trafficking Task Force. Assistant to the City Manager Brittney Malenofski reported that
she was part of the initial sharing of information and has yet to receive feedback or findings from
the task force.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 28 of 32
Council Member Rubalcava requested that staff stay on top of that and report back their findings
to the City Council when received. She agrees that there seem to be more organized activities
around the street vendors and agrees that they are no longer small mom-and-pop. She reported
that residents in District 3 have concerns regarding the enforcement side of the ordinance
beyond the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Assistant to the City Manager Malenofski explained
that the City has already reallocated resources, for instance, they have reallocated 1 full-time
position into 2 part-time positions to allow for more coverage. She also noted that existing
resources that are focusing on Short -Term Rentals (STRs) have a timeframe when they are
focused on street vendors. She admits that the staff is stretched thin but has done what was
possible with the existing staff. She noted that the staff is proposing supplemental staff to help
with capacity.
Council Member Rubalcava expressed support for keeping those positions in-house and
encouraged staff to consider that. She inquired if the staff is looking at additional enforcement in
next year's budget. Deputy City Manager White confirmed that the staff is investigating those
opportunities. He explained that this is a unique situation where it takes 20 to 30 additional
enforcement employees but will try to mix it in with additional full-time staff.
Council Member Rubalcava noted that her concern is around enforcement in Anaheim's
districts. She hopes that staff prioritizes districts and where it is impacting residents on public
property and treats support for the City's partners separately. She inquired what the priority of
enforcement would be if the ordinance was approved. Deputy City Manager White explained
that priorities are already being exercised and are the large-scale street vendors, as well as the
enforcement at large event centers, and in the Anaheim Resort. He noted the lowest priorities
are the small-scale fruit and flower vendors as well as the phone vendors. He commented that
enforcement is out 6 days per week until 11:00 p.m. on a Citywide basis.
Council Member Rubalcava expressed appreciation that the recommendation decreases the
barriers to obtaining a permit which follows state law.
Council Member Leon requested a brief overview of the various required permits at the local,
county, and state levels. Deputy City Manager White explained that there are two key permits
necessary to begin the City process. He explained that the first is a California Seller's Permit
which is required before the City can issue a Business License or a Vendor's License. He noted
the second required permit is the County Health Department permit. He noted there are certain
exemptions related to vendors who are not selling food. He explained that there are very few
food vendors that do not require a Health Permit. He also emphasized that many street vendors
are operating with equipment that is not eligible for a Health Permit. He agrees that it is very
challenging and explained that the much greater barrier to complying with state laws is related
to the Health Department Permit administered by the County. He noted that the fees for
obtaining a County Health Permit are much greater than the local permit fees.
Council Member Leon inquired about the fees for obtaining a County Health Permit. Assistant to
the City Manager Malenofski explained that there are two fees depending on the type of food
operation which is a Plan Check Fee of $281 and a Vending Permit Fee ranging anywhere from
$151 to $400.
Council Member Leon inquired about any rights being infringed upon due to the ordinance. City
Attorney Fabela reported that staff has looked at this extensively and compared it to what other
cities are doing as well as case law and believes the ordinance achieves the right balance.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 29 of 32
Council Member Leon inquired if impounding equipment would be the first level of enforcement.
Deputy City Manager White explained that it is a good enforcement measure to implement. He
explained that impoundment can only happen at the authority of a County Health Inspector but
that does not happen with every vendor. He noted it is not the first mode of enforcement and is
always looking for voluntary compliance.
Council Member Leon inquired if the operating standards for street vendors are available in
Spanish. Deputy City Manager White confirmed that if approved, they will be available in
Spanish on the City's website.
Council Member Leon inquired if the main changes the City is making are reducing barriers to
obtaining permits and empowering Code Enforcement to impound equipment if there is no
compliance. Deputy City Manager White confirmed those are the two main changes. He noted
the additional operational standards are for verification and disclosure to operators for
expectations.
Council Member Leon summarized Deputy City Manager White's comments in Spanish for the
Spanish-speaking community. He summarized for those in attendance that the City welcomes
entrepreneurs and new businesses in Anaheim and includes an Economic Development
Department that is available to help and walk people through the process.
Council Member Faessel thanked City staff for working hard over the last few years to arrive at
this point and agrees it is a move in the right direction to protect residents. He expressed
appreciation for the continued collaboration and continued updates from staff on the program.
Mayor Aitken stressed the importance of providing a legal pathway to street vendors. She noted
one of the obstacles is the costs associated with obtaining the appropriate permits. She inquired
if there are any other programs where there are grace periods for compliance or certain days
where applicants could receive a reduction in fees which would allow the City to have more
bilingual staff on hand and be more prepared for the influx. Deputy City Manager White
remarked that staff are always looking for voluntary compliance and noted there is quite a bit of
a grace period included in code enforcement. He advised if there is an interest in the City
Council doing something for the community, the simplest way would be to waive the Vendor
Permit fee for some time. He reiterated that there is broad discretion for the City Council to
consider options.
Mayor Aitken recommended if the ordinance is approved, encouraging compliance by waiving
the cost of a permit for 60 days to lighten the financial burden of applicants who may not be able
to afford those fees.
Mayor Aitken inquired if there was a way for applicants to start the process online. Assistant to
the City Manager Malenofski confirmed that the designated webpage will have links to the
State's online process and is available in multiple languages. She noted the County Health
Permit application is not fully online but can be started online. Lastly, she advised that for the
City, applicants will need to come in person but can obtain the application online. She also
advised there will be very clear instructions on what is needed before they bring in their
application.
In response to Mayor Aitken, Deputy City Manager White explained that he envisions contracted
supplemental Code Enforcement staff to be similar to contract Planning services as well as
contract Building Plan Check services which are typically three-year contracts, and the services
would be available on -call.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 30 of 32
Mayor Aitken echoed the comments on the dais that the City's Code Enforcement staff are
dedicated and hard-working. She recommended hiring more full-time Code Enforcement
Officers. She inquired about deploying Code Enforcement Officers to the larger venues and
noted that Police and Fire use cost -sharing methods for special events. Deputy City Manager
White confirmed it would be a pass -through approach where the City partners would be able to
pay for those services.
Mayor Aitken recommended keeping an eye on safety and access regardless of the size of the
street vendor. She thanked the City staff for their hard work and believes it is a great way to
support the entrepreneurial spirit of vendors while helping to protect visitors and residents. She
remarked that it strikes the right balance. She highlighted the program's intent to include
vendors into the Anaheim business community and provide opportunities for growth.
Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz referenced the comments earlier that the application can be printed online
but ventured to guess that most applicants do not have access to printers. She encouraged
adding information on printing applications and documents at libraries and community centers.
She expressed support for Mayor Aitken's suggestion for a 60-day waiver for the permit costs.
She expressed concern for the safety of Code Enforcement Officers and inquired if they work in
pairs. Deputy City Manager White confirmed that they do work in pairs, but also rely on
assistance from Public Works to help with impound activities, along with Anaheim Police
Department (APD) to ensure their safety. He confirmed that only equipment and food are taken
if impounded, not their money.
Council Member Rubalcava expressed support for Mayor Aitken's recommendation for a fee
waiver and recommended limiting it to Anaheim residents if within constitutional limits. She
recommended working with the Communications Team to provide outreach like the Hotel
Worker Safety Ordinance to provide the information in Spanish. She recommended providing
City staff with flyers to hand out to street vendors they encounter. She agreed with prioritizing
safety, especially with the phone vendors blocking sidewalks.
Council Member Diaz expressed support for having more full-time Code Enforcement Officers
but agreed it should go through the regular budget process. He expressed support for a six-
month fee waiver and requested that City staff return to the City Council with updates in six
months.
MOTION: Council Member Diaz moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6568
(INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending the Title of
Chapter 4.52 of the Anaheim Municipal Code from "Peddlers and Solicitors" to "Solicitors and
Sidewalk Vendors"; amending certain Sections of Chapter 4.52 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
to establish operational standards for sidewalk vendors in order to protect public health, safety,
and welfare; to provide an additional enforcement mechanism and appeal process for a violation
of sidewalk vendor regulations; and to make other modifications consistent therewith, including
a six-month fee waiver and a request for staff to return with updates in six months.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Rubalcava offered to second if Council Member Diaz accepted
her friendly amendment to limit it to Anaheim residents.
City Attorney Fabela recommended allowing the City Attorney's Office to investigate the
possibility of limiting it to Anaheim residents. Council Member Rubalcava inquired if she could
change her friendly amendment to limit it to Anaheim residents if not unconstitutional.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024

City Attorney Fabela opined that this is something the City may be able to do through the
regulatory process and not through the ordinance. He agreed that it is an interesting idea, but
requested additional time for staff to review.
Mayor Aitken noted that the City Council can pass the ordinance and always has discretion to
set fees. She inquired if the fee waiver discussion could come back to the City Council later.
Deputy City Manager White confirmed that can happen and there is a process already in place
to bring the proposed amendments to the City Council quickly. He requested some grace on
Council Member Diaz's request for staff to return in six months with an update as he would like
to give enough time for people to navigate the County Health Permit process and recommends
having staff return in one year.
Mayor Aitken noted that if Council Member Diaz agrees to make a motion to address the
ordinance without the amendments, she would be happy to provide a second. She noted this
would give staff time needed to collect information. Council Member Diaz agreed with the
change to move as presented.
City Clerk Theresa Bass noted the vote includes the introduction of the ordinance as well as a
determination that the ordinance is not subject to CEQA.
MOTION: Council Member Diaz moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6568 ___
(INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending the Title of
Chapter 4.52 of the Anaheim Municipal Code from "Peddlers and Solicitors" to "Solicitors and
Sidewalk Vendors"; amending certain Sections of Chapter 4.52 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
to establish operational standards for sidewalk vendors in order to protect public health, safety,
and welfare; to provide an additional enforcement mechanism and appeal process for a violation
of sidewalk vendor regulations; and to make other modifications consistent therewith, seconded
by Mayor Aitken. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Kurtz,
Diaz, Leon, Rubalcava, Faessel, and Meeks); NOES — 0. Ordinance introduced.
D175 24. Receive an update on Republic Services Customer Service [Informational Item].
Director Emami reported that the item is a request from Council Member Rubalcava that staff
provide an update on Republic Services Customer Service. He reported that for the last year,
several residents have complained about missed pickups and failure to collect missed pickups
within the required 24-hour period. He advised that Republic Services had identified the root
causes of the missed pickups as labor shortages and fleet reliability. He reported that Republic
Services provided a Performance Improvement Plan in August 2023 that included recruiting and
hiring additional fleet technicians, commercial truck drivers, and management staff, purchasing
and deploying additional trash trucks, and improving customer service communication.
Director Emami reported that due to Republic's recent efforts, City staff has seen a considerable
improvement in customer service, specifically related to reductions in missed pickups. He noted
that Republic is confident that the organizational restructuring, operational changes, and
investments in additional staffing and trash trucks over the past five months will continue to
improve service reliability.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Rubalcava thanked the Republic team for taking the time to
meet with the City Council to review their strategies implemented to meet residents'
expectations. She thanked the Public Works team for their diligence in this matter. She thanked
Republic Services for being transparent about issues with the workforce and the fleet. She
noted that there are still some issues in District 3 but noted that everyone has been responsive.
City Council Minutes of February 13, 2024
Page 32 of 32
Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz thanked Republic Services and congratulated them for owning the
problem and working towards a resolution. She thanked Public Works for their hard work. She
reported she has not had any complaints about trash pickup for the three weeks. She noted that
Guinida Lane recently had their trash pickup missed because a resident had parked their
vehicle in front of the bin. She reported that when Republic Services was notified, they came out
the same afternoon to pick up the trash.
Council Member Faessel agreed that the trash collection is much better. He noted that Republic
Services is now patrolling large neighborhoods to look for large item pick-ups instead of waiting
for a call for service. He encouraged them to roll out that service across the city.
Council Member Rubalcava noted that some businesses are reporting that while they have a
six -day -per -week pickup, there are no consistent pickup times, so they are being charged for
overflow. She thanked Republic Services staff for being responsive to the City Council's request
and being good partners in the community.
Council Member Diaz reported that three months ago the primary issue in his district was trash
collection and that is no longer an issue.
Mayor Aitken thanked Republic Services for being in attendance and taking the City's concerns
seriously. She reminded residents to report large item pickups by using the Anaheim Anytime
app.
In response to Mayor Aitken, Director Emami reported the next Republic Services Compost Day
would be held on March 2, 2024.
Informational item; no formal action taken by the City Council.

RE: Release of Audit Report 2023-133 - City of Anaheim
Dear Anaheim City Council Members:
MILITARY AND VETERANS AFFAIRS
JOINT LEGISLATIVE AUDIT
JOINT LEGISLATIVE BUDGET
lifarnia Legislature
The audit I requested of the City of Anaheim (City) unveiled a prolonged lack of oversight
and accountability of assessment funds. I am deeply troubled by these findings as this
neglect has allowed contractual agreements to be exploited by bad actors, taking advantage
of our City's hard-earned tax dollars.
The unallowable use of tourism district assessment funds by Visit Anaheim and the
Anaheim Chamber of Commerce undermines the trust that the residents of Anaheim have
placed in the City to monitor tourism contracts. Furthermore, the Chamber's misuse of
public dollars to engage in lobbying and to support candidates through a Political Action
Committee is a direct threat to the very fabric of our democracy.
Proactive steps by the City to invoke new ethics reforms show our residents a commitment
to change. Furthermore, I support the City's action plan to implement all of the
recommendations made by the State Auditor which will ensure better contract management
and oversight practices, and will prevent the abuse of taxpayer dollars in the future. In
addition, future contracts between the City and outside entities should contain nepotism
clauses requiring at least a disclosure when a family member of a sitting member of the
council stands to financially benefit from a contract. This change will enable the Council to
make informed decisions and ensure the disbursement of public dollars is merit -based.
Finally, I encourage a reform of the assessment fund distributions. The amount of unspent
assessment funds has continuously increased since its inception. Excess funds could be used
to bolster city services, expand our green space, and finance housing projects. Our residents
deserve transparency, accountability, and the commitment to reinvestment in our
communities.
In Service,
Ae Ael-

Dear Council members,
I implore you to find better ways to use our taxpayer dollars than wasting it on code enforcement for street vending,
which has been decriminalized in California by the way, or on the already over -inflated police budget. Anaheim keeps
pouring money into the police budget when it could be better served for public services and programs. It calls into
question why the council keeps approving new expenditures for the police department when they've already raised the
budget multiple times. Where is this money going? The agenda states it's attempting to "upfit" police vehicles for
$1,259,839.38. What does "upfitting" entail? Why is this needed? What is the number of vehicles that need "upfitting?"
What makes "upfitting" necessary? What happens to the million and change that doesn't get used since this is "as
needed?"
Please reconsider allocating this money to the parks or libraries. Public works would even be better considering all the
potholes all over West Anaheim. Please vote with your constituents in mind and not your police union endorsements.
Thank you for you time.

To whom it may concern:
Good evening, my name is Keila Villegas and I am the Water Justice Director at Orange County Environmental Justice. I'd
like to submit a Public Comment via email to introduce myself and our efforts to the Anaheim City Council.
At OCEJ, we have our Communities Organizing for Better Water campaign which focuses on documenting water
pollution across OC. Our goal for tonight's meeting is to introduce our Policy Brief also found on our website to the
council.
Our policy brief goes over a range of topics including indigenous sovereignty, industrial pollution, city maintenance, and
more. We believe some of the recommendations listed in the brief can be applied to the city of Anaheim.
I'd be happy to schedule time with council members about this brief on how we can potentially work together for
cleaner and safe environments. In addition to advocating for community based solutions, we aim to ease the
communications between residents and pertaining entities who monitor / enforce water standards.
Kind regards,
Keila Villegas

Beach blvd and Ball road
Hows the citys idea of painting our clean sidewalks with designs that were meant to deter crime working out? See
photo
It certainly made our community look worse.
I say we all go to Anaheim Hills and do the same thing to their sidewalks with murals and do it without letting them vote
on it, like you did to us.
If you do not powerwash this immedately, I will start a movement for us to vote to paint Anaheim hills sidewalks and
murals. That would be fair.
Be fair.
Powerwash immediately.

Respectfully Mr. City Attorney,
I have a question regarding why after so many decades of the entire community fighting to have the motels on Beach
closed and torn down because of lengthy non compliance, illegal activity, crime, prostitution, drugs, or providing illegal
transient shelters and a long list of other reasons, why is it legal for the city to keep them open today?
It confuses our community considering the residents themselves have tirelessly volunteered to come together in
countless townhalls, city council meetings, organizations within the city itself, on every level to fight this. Why or what is
the secret reason for keeping them on Beach? This would never fly in any other city or other part of Anaheim.
The reason why I am asking is for a legit explaination of how legally this is even possible after decades of historically
illegal activity?
In a city with lots of money, on a street with so much potential, there is an obvious allure for the city to keep them open.
May I please have an answer?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jodie Mosley

Dear Jodie,
Thank you for contacting the City of Anaheim with your request.
If this is an emergency please call 9-1-1. If this is an urgent police matter please call 714-765-1900. Thank you for your
patience.
Thank you for contacting the City of Anaheim. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
The Problem you submitted was:
Request type: I Have a Question but Can't Find the Category
Description: The city painted on our sidewaks here in west anaheim district 1 without asking the residents or voting on
it, it is inviting even more graffiti on top of it and is a blight to our community. What we request is the complete removal
of all painting on our sidewalks and bring it back to the clean plain cement that was there orginally.
It was intentionally done without the residents knowledge and is absolute invasion of graffitin on our community
sidewalks. It does nothing to deter crime, they continually graffiti on top of it, prostitutes and pimps stand right on it,
and it was done without our community consent. Even if they feel they had the right to initiate murals and graffit
painting on sidewalks doesnt mean that its right.
Please powerwash all painting and any murals immedately. The people who actually live in this area do not want it, and
obviously the decision to do it was made by a politician who lives in a different area and i can assure you THEY WOULD
NEVER WANT THIS ON THEIR SIDEWALKS IN ANAHEIM HILLS.
Thankyou

No, as a community, we do not want your temporary sidewalk paintings. It does not bring vibrancy, it brings ghetto.
Remove all of it.
And the only reason Beach blvd was blocked off was because it sits right in front of councilman Diaz's house. And he
traded that when he voted to rezone and build a low income apartment complex on Western and Ball. E eryone knows
that. And that was also a decision the community didn't get to vote on.
If you really want to help district 1, remove the sidewalk paint,
level the motels, and get your priorities straight. Anaheim Hills is not more important than west Anaheim.
Send this to the city manager. Its his job. Not yours.

Dear Jodie,
Your Anytime request #- has been resolved with the resolution:
Thank you for reaching out. We understand your concerns regarding the sidewalk painting in District 1. The intention
behind the initiative was to bring temporary color and vibrancy to Beach Blvd. as part of the Rebuild Beach project, with
the understanding that larger, more permanent improvements are coming. Community engagement is crucial in
projects, and we are committed to ensuring that future enhancements are conducted with community involvement,
such as with the improvements made to the Rome Ave. cul-de-sac.
Regarding your concerns about graffiti and other criminal activities, we share your commitment to maintaining a safe
and inviting community environment. We have contacted the city's graffiti removal contractor to address any issues
related to graffiti and APD continues to conduct direct enforcement operations to address crime in the area.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue our efforts to improve
West Anaheim and enhance the quality of life for all residents.
Thank you,
Brittney Malenofski

I'm writing to express my support for Disneyland Forward and to

Disneyland Forward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest
for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and

on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking

square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has
approved. Based on my review, Disney is just asking to spread the
previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney
properties in a way that makes sense for today's market demand.
The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California

(lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an
exhaustive study by third -party independent experts, it is clear that
after many years of planning, review and analysis, it is time to certify
the EIR and approve the Disneyland Forward Project.

Honorable Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers:
I'm writing to express my support for Disneyland Forward and to
encourage Anaheim's City Council to certify the Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) and approve the
Disneyland Forward Project.
Disneyland Forward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest
for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and
1
infuse the City's general fund with millions in additional tax revenue
every year. With Disneyland Forward, Disney is proposing to build only
on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking
for taxpayer subsidies or asking to add any additional theme park
square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has
approved. Based on my review, Disney is just asking to spread the
previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney
properties in a way that makes sense for today's market demand.
The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including traffic, noise, aesthetics
(lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an
exhaustive study by third -party independent experts, it is clear that
after many years of planning, review and analysis, it is time to certify
the EIR and approve the Disneyland Forward Project.

Honorable Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers:
I'm writing to express my support for Disneyland Forward and to
encourage Anaheim's City Council to certify the Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) and approve the
Disneyland Forward Project.
Disneyland Forward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest
for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and
1
infuse the City's general fund with millions in additional tax revenue
every year. With Disneyland Forward, Disney is proposing to build only
on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking
for taxpayer subsidies or asking to add any additional theme park
square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has
approved. Based on my review, Disney is just asking to spread the
previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney
properties in a way that makes sense for today's market demand.
The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including traffic, noise, aesthetics
(lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an
exhaustive study by third -party independent experts, it is clear that
after many years of planning, review and analysis, it is time to certify
the EIR and approve the Disneyland Forward Project.

Honorable Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers:
I'm writing to express my support for Disneyland Forward and to
encourage Anaheim's City Council to certify the Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) and approve the
Disneyland Forward Project.
Disneyland Forward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest
for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and
1
infuse the City's general fund with millions in additional tax revenue
every year. With Disneyland Forward, Disney is proposing to build only
on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking
for taxpayer subsidies or asking to add any additional theme park
square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has
approved. Based on my review, Disney is just asking to spread the
previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney
properties in a way that makes sense for today's market demand.
The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including traffic, noise, aesthetics
(lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an
exhaustive study by third -party independent experts, it is clear that
after many years of planning, review and analysis, it is time to certify
the EIR and approve the Disneyland Forward Project.
Sincerely,

Honorable Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers:
I'm writing to express my support for Disneyland Forward and to
encourage Anaheim's City Council to certify the Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) and approve the
Disneyland Forward Project.
Disneyland Forward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest
for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and
1
infuse the City's general fund with millions in additional tax revenue
every year. With Disneyland Forward, Disney is proposing to build only
on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking
for taxpayer subsidies or asking to add any additional theme park
square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has
approved. Based on my review, Disney is just asking to spread the
previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney
properties in a way that makes sense for today's market demand.
The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including traffic, noise, aesthetics
(lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an
exhaustive study by third -party independent experts, it is clear that
after many years of planning, review and analysis, it is time to certify
the EIR and approve the Disneyland Forward Project.
Sincerely,

Honorable Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers:
I'm writing to express my support for Disneyland Forward and to
encourage Anaheim's City Council to certify the Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) and approve the
Disneyland Forward Project.
1
Disneyland Forward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest
for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and
infuse the City's general fund with millions in additional tax revenue
every year. With Disneyland Forward, Disney is proposing to build only
on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking
for taxpayer subsidies or asking to add any additional theme park
square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has
approved. Based on my review, Disney is just asking to spread the
previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney
properties in a way that makes sense for today's market demand.
The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including traffic, noise, aesthetics
(lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an
exhaustive study by third -party independent experts, it is clear that
after many years of planning, review and analysis, it is time to certify

Honorable Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers:
I'm writing to express my support for Disneyland Forward and to
encourage Anaheim's City Council to certify the Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) and approve the
Disneyland Forward Project.
1
Disneyland Forward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest
for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and
infuse the City's general fund with millions in additional tax revenue
every year. With Disneyland Forward, Disney is proposing to build only
on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking
for taxpayer subsidies or asking to add any additional theme park
square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has
approved. Based on my review, Disney is just asking to spread the
previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney
properties in a way that makes sense for today's market demand.
The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including traffic, noise, aesthetics
(lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an
exhaustive study by third -party independent experts, it is clear that
after many years of planning, review and analysis, it is time to certify
the EIR and approve the Disneyland Forward Project.
Sincerely,

Dear Anaheim City Council,
We are reaching out on behalf of the State of California Mortgage Relief Program
(https://camortgagerelief.org/) to provide an important update that could assist thousands of your
constituents. Homeowners behind on 2 payments of mortgage starting February 1 can now apply to the
program and receive up to $80,000 in payments that do not need to be paid back. The previous delinquency
date was August 15t
There are limited funds remaining for late mortgage and property tax payments through the California
Mortgage Relief Program (CMRP) with an even later delinquency date for missed payments (February
V). Through $750 million in funds, CMRP has already funded over 30,000 homes throughout California to help
homeowners stay in their homes and get caught up with their mortgage. CMRP is open to all eligible
Californians and is absolutely free —funds never need to be paid back. Grants from the program are paid
directly to your bank or mortgage servicer. The program's website is available in 6 languages (English, Spanish,
Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, & Tagalog.)
The link for the toolkit is provided here (https://camortgagerelief.org/partner-resources/). The resource page
has more information to share with your network and materials. Homeowners can visit the application
questionnaire here to find out if they qualify. Property tax has now been added which covers 1 payment owed
prior to February 2022.
When possible, I'd like to hold a call to go over more details on the program and help gather any questions
that you may have. Looking forward to how we can work together.
More details of the program:
• Previously awarded homeowners who are still eligible and need more assistance can return for
additional funds with a maximum of $80,000 in total assistance
• Assistance is now available for homeowners with partial claim second mortgages or loan
deferrals taken during or after January 2020
• The delinquency date for assistance with past -due mortgage and property tax payments was
reset - applicants must have missed at least two mortgage payments OR at least one property
tax payment prior to February 1, 2024
• Homeowners with a primary residence that includes up to 4 units on the property may now be
eligible
• Must have faced a pandemic -related financial hardship after January 21, 2020
• Must have missed at least 2 payments by February 1, 2024, and are currently behind.
• Full list of eligibility requirements here: https://camortgagerelief.org/whoiseligible/
