Daniel DeMeyere expressed concern regarding illegal activities involving Disney's D23 event and a City employee. He explained he tried to attend a meeting with cash but noted that the parking lot only accepted credit cards, which he added is illegal. He reported that security would not let him enter the public area without credentials which were at the Hilton. He reported that he was unable to pick up his tickets at will -call because he was forced to stay in the parking lot. He explained that his weekend was ruined while trying to promote his business at D23. He noted that this also happened to one of his employees the next day. He reported that when he returned later asking for a comment form he was turned away and told to step outside. He noted that he has paid taxes in Anaheim for 30 years. He reported that he was also forced to sit on the floor. He remarked that the security personnel and D23 overstepped their authority. He reported that if D23 does not refund him for his table he will return with a lawyer. Cecil Jordan Corkern reported he has completed the reports on Disney involving sex trafficking and noted over 200 employees have been arrested, including 35 working at Disney World. He offered to provide copies to the City Council if requested. John Hodges reported that he spent a year with Lupe Rodriguez protesting the rent increase at Rancho La Paz after a new owner bought the property. He explained that Ms. Rodriguez wrote an article that explains residents' struggles. He noted that they protested in front of the City Council, but half of them did not support residents and the Mayor tabled a request after a year of appeals. He explained that the problem was a $400 rent increase residents faced in the first two years after the new owner purchased the property. He thanked Ms. Rodriguez who advocated to the Governor, which halted the rent increases and allowed him to stay at Rancho La Paz, which has historical significance to his family. He encouraged the City Council to include Ms. Rodriguez's article in the record and recognize the abuse of rental increases to the residents. Mike Robbins noted that a resident from Rancho La Paz showed him that their rent was raised by 111 %. He noted that he has spent many hours attending City Council meetings across the County and looking into donations and budgets and believes he can call out wrongdoers. He remarked that over 50% of residents are renters who deserve rent control which can help by keeping housing costs stable, preventing steep rent increases, and reducing the risk of homelessness. He noted that rent control supports long-term residents, keeps neighborhoods stable, and helps the local economy by giving people more money to spend on local goods to support the local economy. He referenced Public Hearing Item No. 23 and the lack of affordable housing. He reported that Santa Ana has already implemented rent control and encouraged the City Council to do the same. Jeanine Robbins reported that the State adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 1482, a rent control law, but Anaheim is not enforcing it. She recommended that the City should either enforce this law or create stronger rent control rules. She explained that tenants with unfair rent increases or evictions have no help. She remarked that there are two ways to get rent control in Anaheim which are to collect signatures to put it on the ballot or elect new City Council members who support it. She noted both are being pursued. She reported that for the Midway project outlined in Public Hearing Item No. 23, the area needs affordable housing, but the developers are not helping. She noted that City leaders City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 4 of 22 should make changes but seem to care more about developers than residents. She noted that the project was submitted with a fake address in previous Housing Cycles which should raise concerns. She encouraged the City Council to investigate and not just rely on what City staff tells them. Vern Nelson reported that many residents want the City Council to create a law similar to AB 1482 so that Anaheim can enforce it. He noted that Mayor Aitken and others have said that the law is enough but it is not being enforced. He noted that eviction protections are also important since the State law has no enforcement mechanism. He explained that if the City Council adopts a similar city law, it can finally help tenants facing unfair rent increases or evictions. He noted that over 50% of individuals in Anaheim or renters, and over 60% of individuals are renters in District 3. He reported that this law will help prevent homelessness and keep families from leaving Anaheim, which also helps avoid cuts to education funding. He cited an example -of landlords making improvements to a unit and then renting at a higher cost, which he noted was illegal under AB 1482. He encouraged the City Council to fix the problem. Marc Herbert reported that at the last City Council meeting, there was a lot of discussion about the Midway project, outlined in Public Hearing Item No. 23. He noted that Mayor Aitken remarked that the value of the property would increase more than its current evaluation of $1.6 million once it is assembled. He reported that there was no appraisal attached to the staff report. He reported that he was denied access to the appraisal by City staff when requested. He expressed concern that there seems to be a pattern of not engaging the public and noted that the lack of transparency and public access to important documents like appraisals is concerning. Matthew Duncan remarked that he has been a coyote advocate in Anaheim since he was nine. He reported that the City Council may have received a letter from Camilla Fox, the founder of Project Coyote, about concerns regarding how coyotes are treated in Anaheim. He highlighted her advocacy with the State to ban coyote killing competitions. He reported that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has requested a ban on killing coyotes in gas chambers and trapping them on public land, which is happening in Anaheim. He encouraged the City Council to learn from past mistakes. Mark Richard Daniels reported he has lived in Anaheim for 66 years. He highlighted Proposition 33 which allows municipalities to enact rent control. He encouraged the City Council to act on rent control before it is forced upon the City through Proposition 33. Francisco Rosas announced his candidacy for District 4 against Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz. He noted that she has greatly disappointed him and everyone in his community. He noted that Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz and the City Council disregard its residents who feel like they have no voice. He remarked that he wants to represent his community because it is clear residents needs are ignored, such as affordable housing, rent caps, and a gate tax to help get the city out of debt. He noted that the City Council is holding Anaheim back and he will work to replace every member of the City Council. Kenneth Batiste reported that 40 families were evicted from their homes when Disney's California Adventure was built and noted that the City should have stepped up, bought those homes, and helped those families. He remarked that the City instead focused on money and shareholders. He noted that someone needs to fight for the people who need help. He explained that the City needs affordable housing, rent caps tied to inflation, and better support for residents. He noted the residents need someone to advocate for them. He noted that Anaheim Hills residents do not have to worry about parking like residents in other areas of the City. He encouraged the City Council to remember that they serve the people. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 5 of 22 COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended including a lunch for residents of Tyrol Plaza. She stated the residents there have undergone trauma in the last few months. She thanked The Anaheim Hotel, the Best Western Plus, The Pizza Press, Courtyard, Castle Inn, and The Westin for sponsoring lunch for the residents at Tyrol Plaza. Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz thanked the "Madres Unidas de Guinida Lane" and the Anaheim Elementary School District for their assistance with the backpack and school supplies event for Paul Revere Elementary School students. She thanked Community Services staff for going above and beyond to assist a homeless student at the event. A School District representative was also able to enroll the student in school as well as a transportation program offered by the Anaheim School District so that the student will have transportation to Paul Revere Elementary School no matter where the family moves to in Orange County. Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz shared that she along with Council Member Faessel hosted the Boysen Community Meeting at Roosevelt Elementary School. She mentioned that constituents around the State College area in Districts 4 and 5 are having the same issues. They participated in a virtual bus tour and made 13 stops including the Tampico Hotel, Boysen Park, the former Luigi Italian Restaurant site, and the Hahm Motorsports site. There was a great turnout and she shared that she enjoyed the interaction with the residents. She thanked the Fire Department for a wonderful movie night held for residents at Boysen Park on one of the hottest nights of the year. She thanked Anaheim firefighters who have gone to fight fires in other counties throughout the state. She assured residents that every fire station in Anaheim continues to be staffed. Anaheim firefighters were deployed to the Post and Basin fires in June, and in July they went to Butte, Siskiyou, Santa Barbara, Humboldt, Trinity, Tulare, Shasta, Plumas, Kern, and Riverside counties to help with fires. Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz clarified that the City of Anaheim is reimbursed for those services and there is an agreement with those counties that if Anaheim needs fire assistance specifically in the Anaheim Hills area, those counties will provide aid. She highlighted a before and after photo of a homeless encampment. Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz thanked the family who reached out to her office and through Anaheim Anytime to report the growing encampment. She thanked Deputy Director Lozeau and her team for cleaning up the encampment and for aiding an elderly veteran who was ill. They connected the veteran to the Department of Veterans Affairs and provided a veterans housing voucher. She also thanked residents who continue to report encampments, especially along the railroad tracks, on Caltrans property, and public areas. Council Member Faessel requested adjourning the meeting in memory of Larry Larsen. Larry graduated from Anaheim High School in 1960 and worked hard for the betterment of graduates. He was committed to the rebuilding of the Anaheim High School pool and was also active in the Gypsum Canyon Veterans Cemetery project. Council Member Faessel highlighted and shared photographs of events he attended including the North Orange Continuing Education, formerly known as North Orange County Community College District, opening day celebration. He shared that he has been an instructor there since 1975 and it was fun sharing stories with staff, and seeing friends he has made over the years. Council Member Faessel stated that it was nice to welcome and visit with the six exchange students from Mito, Japan. He shared that one of their most enjoyable experiences was making s'mores at a beach campfire because they do not do that in Japan. He also thanked Community Services and City Engineer Carlos Castellanos for hosting the students. Council Member Faessel congratulated Helen Carter on her 94th birthday. He shared that Ms. Carter is an active Ebell Club member as well as a member of several organizations in Anaheim. He attended the backpack, school supplies, and food giveaway at Jafaria Church. He thanked the church and all the volunteers who helped to equip all the students with school supplies for a great school year. Council Member Meeks requested adjourning the meeting in memory of former Anaheim Police Department Sergeant Greg Palmer. He served Anaheim from 1986 to 2010 on patrol, investigations, City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 6 of 22 gang division, robbery, and homicide. He was awarded the Investigator of the Year Award, two distinguished service medals, and served as the Anaheim Police Association President. Council Member Leon announced that the Anaheim Tech Scholars Program is back for all high school juniors and seniors. The program empowers college -bound high school juniors and seniors in Anaheim and provides laptops or tablets as well as internet access to prepare students for the next stage of their academic careers. He thanked his Council colleagues for their support in making the program happen last year. The application process will be open from August 26 through September 30. Information will be posted on the City's website as well as social media. Council Member Leon shared that this year's National Night Out was hosted in District 2 at Modjeska Park. Hundreds of Anaheim families attended the event to learn more about the work that the Anaheim Police Department does. Residents received resources, experienced a live concert, and they were able to see him participate in a donut eating contest where he lost to the now four -time donut eating champion, Jason Perez from Anaheim Community Services. He congratulated Anaheim Chief of Police Armendariz as well as Carmela Mendoza from the West Anaheim Community Policing Team for all their hard work to ensure that this year's National Night Out was the best. He shared that his office hosted its second annual Back to School Bash at Madison Elementary School. He thanked all the community members, community partners, and volunteers who came together to make the event a major success. He thanked Anaheim Elementary School District Superintendent Jesse Chavarria, Principal Heiner, Vice Principal Crow, Santos the Custodian, and the entire Madison Elementary School team for allowing his team, in collaboration with several community partners, to host the event at the school. Community Action Partnership of Orange County distributed food boxes. Backpacks and shoes were distributed thanks to AltaMed and United Across Borders. True School Barber Shop provided free haircuts.

Council Member Rubalcava stated that there are approximately 50,000 residents who reside in District 3 and approximately 27,000 voters in a predominantly Latino community. She highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended in District 3. Council Member Rubalcava shared that she walks past Jack in the Box on Lincoln Avenue every day on her way to and from City Hall and many of the people who work there are people who live in District 3. She noted that Jack in the Box employees must deal with either unhoused or mentally unstable individuals daily and so she wanted to highlight the individuals who are serving the people who live or visit Anaheim. She recognized two USC students, one of which is a resident of District 3. The students are working on a policy initiative as part of their graduate studies regarding gang intervention and prevention and they came to her because she has been working closely with the Police Department Gang Enforcement Unit, Chief of Police Armendariz, City Manager Vanderpool, and Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz to address gang -related issues. She noted she grew up in a gang impacted area in District 3 and for her it is a major priority. The young ladies prepared an op-ed and requested to collaborate with her on something that is more substantive and find solutions to help tackle the growing issue in the City. She shared that she partnered with the Mondragon Family Market, a local business that has been in District 3 for 40 years, and they were able to give away 300 backpacks to local kids in the area. She noted that many who City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 7 of 22 attended the event walked from their homes because there are a lot of areas in District 3 that have parking challenges. She stated that parking is a quality -of -life issue, and when she reviews or approves housing initiatives, she takes parking into consideration. Unfortunately, the State of California has tied Council's hands in many cases, and she recommended that those who have issues with parking contact their local Assembly Members and State Senators to let them know the issues they have created by some of their policies. She thanked everyone who contributed to the event including the Mondragon family and City staff who accommodated the street closure so that the community remained safe. The young boys and girls received haircuts, backpacks, helmets, school supplies, and Kona Ice donated ice cream because it was one of the hottest days of the year. She thanked Jack Knight (@jacktheartist2060), Public Utilities, Anaheim Police Department, Anaheim Fire Department, and the Oak Nature Center. She noted that many of the kids who live in District 3 have never attended the Oak Nature Center, but they were able to see some of the animals and things that are there, and it was a great experience for everyone. Council Member Rubalcava noted that August is Chicano Heritage Month in the City of Anaheim. Anaheim is one of two cities in the County of Orange that recognizes Chicano Heritage Month. She stated she is Mexican American, Chicana, and the Chicano riots took place at Little People's Park. Emigdio Vasquez painted the original mural that signified and represented the Mexican American community in Anaheim and across the county. She noted that his daughter accepted the recognition for Chicano Heritage Month earlier in the meeting and that is something that is significant for the City of Anaheim. She mentioned that Congressman Lou Correa, who was raised in District 3, is trying to get federal recognition for Chicano Heritage Month and he was recently recognized by the Orange County Fair, a state agency that also recognizes Chicano Heritage Month. Council Member Rubalcava attended National Night Out and noted La Palma Park and Pearson Park located in District 3 are two of the oldest parks in the City and would be great locations for National Night Out next year. She noted that community leader Sofia Romero was recognized by the Community Police Team because she has been instrumental in not only helping get individuals who are unhoused housing, but she has been keeping Deputy Director Sandra Lozeau, Anaheim Police Department, and herself informed on people who are getting their rents raised or individuals who might need food assistance. Council Member Rubalcava attended a community meeting that took place at Emerald Point located off Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Street, a newer development in District 3. She noted that many of the property owners at Emerald Pointe are very engaged and Sergeant Pardo from the Anaheim Police Department was there to address some of the public safety concerns. She also thanked Deputy Director Sandra Lozeau, Neighborhood Services, and Public Utilities General Manager Dukku Lee for walking around the community to address public safety issues that are occurring there.

They spent time in the Friendship Garden, which is a homage to the City's relationship with Mito, Japan, they received tours of City Hall and Angel Stadium they attended National Night Out, and they were able to enjoy a day at Disneyland. She stated she is an advocate for the City's Sister Cities Program and building international relationships with all generations. Mayor Aitken thanked the Police Department for all the community activities at National Night Out. She thanked Council Member Leon for participating in the donut eating contest this year, because the one time she participated was enough. She stated the Anaheim Police Department staff worked hard on hosting the event and Modjeska Park was a beautiful site to have the event at. She thanked everyone who attended the event including the K9 Officers, Equine Officers, the SWAT Team, and the Anaheim Police Department Helicopter, Angel. Mayor Aitken stated that with summer coming to an end, it is time for backpack and school supply giveaways for families in the community Her office partnered with Orange County Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento, United Across Borders, Mi Pueblo Foundation, Shelly Padilla at State Farm, La Casa Garcia, and Regalo de Corazon Foundation to make sure that students have the supplies they need to succeed in the upcoming school year, including new shoes donated by Vans. She thanked everyone who made the event City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 8 of 22 possible, including Public Utilities and Community Services for always being there. Mayor Aitken thanked SA Recycling for inviting her to tour their facility to see what they do with all the scrap metal that gets dropped off by Anaheim residents. They accept steel, tin, old cars, and appliances. The items are shredded, repackaged in a baler, and then are sent out to become some of the supplies needed for building houses and for doing all sorts of things. Mayor Aitken stated that Council Member Faessel mentioned SA Recycling has the largest electric motor in Orange County. She thanked all businesses for inviting Council to tour their facilities to learn what they are doing to make the community a better place.

ORDINANCE NO. 6587 _(ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending Chapter 18.112 (Mountain Park Specific Plan No. 90-4 Zoning and Development Standards) of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code [Amendment No. 4 to the Mountain Park Specific Plan) (DEV2020-00204) [introduced at the Council meeting of July 23, 2024, Public Hearing Item No. 11]. D114 21. Approve minutes of the City Council meetings of January 9, 2024 and January 23, 2024. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 11 of 22 BUSINESS CALENDAR: 10. Approve a School Resource Officer Agreement with El Rancho Charter School, in an annual AGR-14951 reimbursement amount not to exceed $55,000, for the Police Department to provide one School Resource Officer on a part-time basis for a one year term commencing on August 1, 2024, with up to five automatic one-year renewals; and authorize the Chief of Police to execute and administer the agreement. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz remarked that while she understands the need for School Resource Officers, and admires the schools and districts for reaching out, however, she wants to ensure that the City still has the patrol officers needed on the street. Chief of Police Rick P. Armendariz explained that having a School Resource Officer on campus will help officers on the streets by reducing calls for service at the school. He noted that despite being located in District 6, El Rancho had 177 calls for service during the 2023-2024 academic year, making it the fourth highest among the seven junior high schools. He explained that by placing a resource officer on campus, the Department expects to reduce the need for patrol officers to be pulled away from their regular duties to respond to school issues, acting as a force multiplier. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz moved to approve a School Resource Officer Agreement with El Rancho Charter School, in an annual reimbursement amount not to exceed $55,000, for the Police Department to provide one School Resource Officer on a part-time basis for a one year term commencing on August 1, 2024, with up to five automatic one-year renewals; and authorize the Chief of Police to execute and administer the agreement. DISCUSSION: Council Member Rubalcava requested clarification regarding the type of calls for service being requested. Chief Armendariz explained that, on average, the calls for service are crime -related, such as fights, threats among students, or trespassing on campus. He noted there are also traffic -related calls, like speeding or similar incidents. He explained that without a dedicated School Resource Officer, other police officers would have to respond to those types of calls for service. He added it does not apply to rules such as lack of attendance. Council Member Rubalcava inquired how much of the reimbursed $55,000 is the City covering. Chief Armendariz explained that they are using an existing budgeted officer for this role. He mentioned that the current budget includes 421 officers, the highest number in the department's history. He noted that as officers complete training, they are being strategically assigned to areas with quality -of -life issues like homelessness, gang violence, and youth -related concerns. He explained that the officer would have had to respond to the calls anyway, but the Department is being reimbursed $55,000 for those services. Council Member Rubalcava expressed concern with this issue, even though she has supported similar initiatives in the past. She pointed out that Sycamore Junior High, which has the highest gang population in the City, faces more serious problems, whereas El Rancho does not seem to have those types of issues. She inquired if it would make sense to just have police officers patrolling that area more frequently instead of being dedicated to a school. Chief Armendariz explained that this junior high school is unique in that it is the only junior high in District 6. He noted that many of the issues in Anaheim Hills, like a -bike concerns, involve students City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 12 of 22 who attend that school. He added that having an officer on -site to build relationships and make connections with parents and youth could help prevent and deter some of those issues. He remarked that the school is one of the top four junior high schools in Anaheim for police -related calls for service. He acknowledged that while the issues there are different compared to other districts, it is a more active community in terms of reporting problems. He explained that all schools are required to meet certain standards when it comes to reporting incidents like fights, assaults, and threats, and this school adheres to those requirements. Council Member Rubalcava inquired how many School Resource Officers are dedicated to the districts outside of District 6. Chief Armendariz explained that the School Resource program is overseen by Sergeant Bob Conklin and has an officer assigned to the SMART program (School Mobile Assessment and Resource Team). He explained that the program handles threats, including those made on social media or on campus, by having a dedicated investigator who assesses these threats. He reported that for School Resource Officers, Anaheim Union High School District has 13 schools (seven high schools and six junior highs) with a total of 16,000 students. He advised that there are seven school resource officers assigned to these schools, with the cost shared between the Anaheim Police Department and the school district. He reported that there is an agreement with the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District for Esperanza High School located in Anaheim, which has 1,400 students and one School Resource Officer. He noted that if this item is approved, a School Resource Officer will be assigned to El Rancho Junior High, which has 1,100 students. Council Member Rubalcava restated that there are seven (7) School Resource Officers dedicated to 13 plus schools and the other districts have one dedicated to one school. She noted that this seems inequitable. She inquired if this was Orange Unified School District or Anaheim Unified High School District (AUHSD). Chief Armendariz confirmed it is Orange Unified School District, but the school is located in Anaheim. Council Member Meeks inquired if there are School Resource Officers at most of the other middle schools or junior highs within the City. Police Chief Armendariz confirmed that there are seven School Resource Officers for AUHSD which covers 13 schools, seven high schools, and six junior high schools. Council Member Meeks inquired if the agreement with AUHSD is an agreement with the school and not the Anaheim Police Department's (APD) decision as to how many police officers should be at each school. Chief Armendariz confirmed that is the agreement that AUHSD requested for the Police Department to be able to provide that service and then they compensate with the shared costs. Council Member Meeks emphasized the importance of having School Resource Officers, especially at the middle school level. She remarked that at that age, students are still making choices about their future, and School Resource Officers can help build relationships and guide behavior. She expressed support for the item, noting that El Rancho is the only middle school in District 6, serving the entire district. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 13 of 22 MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz moved to approve a School Resource Officer Agreement with El Rancho Charter School, in an annual reimbursement amount not to exceed $55,000, for the Police Department to provide one School Resource Officer on a part-time basis for a one year term commencing on August 1, 2024, with up to five automatic one-year renewals; and authorize the Chief of Police to execute and administer the agreement, seconded by Council Member Meeks. DISCUSSION: Chief Armendariz explained that if the officer for El Rancho is approved, they will spend some time on campus, but most of their time will be focused on working with the City's youth programs and gang violence prevention strategies. He noted that the officer will support the Youth Coordinator position recently approved by the City Council and will work on intervention and prevention related to youth and gang violence. He explained that the officer will have a dual role helping both at El Rancho and with citywide youth programs. Council Member Diaz expressed support for the item. He noted that there are two ways to deal with crime which are reactive and preventive. He explained that the officer would be working with and educating students and the community around the schools on how to prevent crime, which is the ultimate crime prevention tool. Council Member Rubalcava remarked that the cost per officer is upwards of $100,000 but only $55,000 is being covered and requested clarification of the funding. Chief Armendariz explained that the cost for the officer would be 30% of the total cost. He noted that the officer will not be dedicated to the school full-time, but will be there half or a quarter of the time as needed. He also mentioned that the majority of the officer's time will be spent working with the Youth Coordinator, focusing on citywide youth and gang intervention strategies. Council Member Rubalcava inquired when the City Council will be able to see the plan for Youth Gang Intervention. Chief Armendariz remarked that he was hoping to have a follow-up meeting with Council Member Rubalcava and Mayor Aitken to discuss some of these matters and present them to the City Council in the future. He explained that part of it relates to the budget with the City Council's approval of the Youth Coordinator being a big factor. Additionally, he explained they are working with some nonprofits and looking at funding sources to bring a few nonprofits to the City to help with the program. He anticipated an update to the City Council sometime next month. Council Member Rubalcava reported that she is going to vote no on the item, not because she does not support school resource officers, as she has been a strong advocate for them. She explained that her concern is that the City is not recovering its expenses. She noted that in negotiations with the AUHSD, they are paying 50% of the cost for those officers, which is a fair arrangement. However, she feels that the current reimbursement rate for this initiative is not enough for Anaheim taxpayers. Council Member Rubalcava acknowledged the importance of having resources in schools but expressed concern about the officer's time being divided. She pointed out that while it was mentioned that the officer would be dedicated to the school, there were conflicting statements about the officer also working on gang prevention initiatives, even though gangs are not prevalent in the area where the school is located. She noted that the division of time is a concern, especially when other districts face more significant gang challenges. She reiterated that she supports school resource officers but will vote no because she does not believe the taxpayers are being reimbursed enough to justify this expense. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 14 of 22 Chief Armendariz reported that he misspoke and clarified that the officer will not be dedicated full-time to the campus. He explained that the officer would be on campus about half the time, with cost reimbursement covering 30%. He further explained that for the remainder of the time, the officer will be working on youth and gang intervention strategies Citywide. He noted that the officer will not necessarily be on campus during that time, but instead will be at the main station or supporting other campuses, as school resource officers often do. Chief Armendariz acknowledged the earlier mention of other school officers, confirming that the schools pay for half of the cost while the city covers the other half, which provides full-time officers at those campuses. He explained that, in this case, the school will cover a little over a quarter of the cost, and the City will cover the rest. He further explained that as a result, the officer will be on campus part-time and will handle other responsibilities within the City during the remainder of the time. Council Member Rubalcava remarked that Chief Armendariz mentioned the reason for dedicating someone to the school was due to the high number of calls for service. However, if the officer is stationed at the main station, it would take at least half an hour to respond to an issue, which, for her, does not make sense. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz moved to approve a School Resource Officer Agreement with El Rancho Charter School, in an annual reimbursement amount not to exceed $55,000, for the Police Department to provide one School Resource Officer on a part-time basis for a one year term commencing on August 1, 2024, with up to five automatic one-year renewals; and authorize the Chief of Police to execute and administer the agreement, seconded by Council Member Meeks. ROLL CALL VOTE: 6-1. (AYES: Mayor Aitken and Council Members Kurtz, Diaz, Leon, Faessel, and Meeks; NOES: Council Member Rubalcava). Motion carried. AGR-14954 12. Waive Council Policy 4.1 and approve the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention and Opioid Settlement Funding Access Program Subrecipient Agreement with the Mariposa Women and Family Center, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, to provide outreach and support services to Anaheim's Collaborative Court Evaluating Strategies and Solutions Program's participants funded through the Opioid Settlement Funds and the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program Grant, for a one year term effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the agreement and the documents necessary to implement and administer the agreement. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz expressed support for the Mariposa Women and Family Center and the agreement. She inquired why the staff is asking the City Council to waive Council Policy 4.1 for only one year. Deputy Director of Housing and Community Development Sandra Lozeau reported that the program began as a pilot but it has been progressing and noted that staff wanted to continue the services. She advised that staff are cognizant of the City Council policy but are waiving Council Policy to continue services for one year and then issuing a Request for a Proposal (RFP). MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz moved to waive Council Policy 4.1 and approve the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention and Opioid Settlement Funding Access Program Subrecipient Agreement with the Mariposa Women and Family Center, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, to provide outreach and support services to Anaheim's Collaborative Court Evaluating Strategies and Solutions Program's participants funded through the Opioid Settlement Funds and the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program Grant, for a one year term effective July 1, 2024 City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 15 of 22 through June 30, 2025; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the agreement and the documents necessary to implement and administer the agreement, 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. M142 20. ORDINANCE NO. 6588 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adding Section 1.08.100 to Chapter 1.08 of the Anaheim Municipal Code establishing the Anaheim Local Housing Trust Fund. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz thanked staff for finally bringing the item forward. She noted that she has been passionate about bringing services to the senior population and discussing the need for a senior center in Anaheim. She noted she has become equally passionate about housing in the City and the need for it, just as she is about providing services to seniors. She acknowledged that housing is an extremely complex issue, but noted that establishing a Housing Trust will help the City address some of these complexities, whether it involves Safety Net vouchers, first-time homebuyer programs, additional housing stock, or other future discussions. She expressed pride in being able to vote to establish a Housing Trust in Anaheim, which will enable the City to make significant progress on housing issues. She thanked everyone for their hard work and emphasized that the Housing Trust is much needed in the City. Mayor Aitken inquired about the next steps and timeline. Director of Housing and Community Development Grace Ruiz-Stepter explained that the purpose of the item is to establish the Housing Trust Fund. She noted that the City has already pledged $30 million from the Disneyland Forward negotiations. She added they also secured $1 million through the PRO Housing Grant, an award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). She mentioned that the HUD money, expected within 30 to 60 days, will likely be the first funding to come in, which will help with planning. She noted that staff hopes to return to the City Council before receiving the first $15 million from Disneyland Forward, which will allow for serious planning on how to allocate the funds. Director Ruiz-Stepter reported that the next step is to return with a Strategic Plan, providing the City Council an opportunity to approve or further define how the funds will be invested. She noted that the City Council has already expressed interest in focusing on eviction prevention and homeownership, and the department also recommends investing in housing production. She explained that the Strategic Plan will address which income levels the trust fund should target and how the unrestricted funds can be used. She explained that noted that unrestricted funds provide flexibility, allowing the City to explore markets currently inaccessible due to state and federal funding restrictions. She remarked that this includes potential investment in "missing middle" homeownership products. She explained that staff are consulting with other jurisdictions and experts to develop a comprehensive plan, outlining where to invest and which income levels to focus on. Lastly, she reported that City staff will provide an annual budget indicating how the trust fund's money will be spent over the next year. Council Member Meeks thanked staff and noted that the City Council has been very supportive of bringing the item forward. She mentioned that this gives the City more local control and allows the City to allocate funds in ways that meet the priorities of the City Council. She expressed support for homeownership and helping young families, and working families, stay in the community and live close to where their jobs are. She also emphasized the importance of bringing homeownership back into some of the existing neighborhoods. She noted she was glad to hear that there will be an opportunity to see the Strategic Plan as it develops. She acknowledged that the money from the Disneyland Forward project is great in the short term and sees an opportunity to look at ongoing City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 16 of 22 revenue as the City sells off the resort bonds. While she noted that there may not be a lot of money available for the Housing Trust Fund in the next few years, she believes it is something the City Council can consider as the revenues become a reality. Council Member Rubalcava commended the staff for bringing the item back so quickly, noting that they only started discussing it less than 19 months ago. She thanked the staff for bringing the item forward and expressed appreciation for all the funding sources listed and the potential opportunities that still exist. She mentioned that one funding source she did not see listed was Anaheim Tourism Improvement District (ATID) contributions. She emphasized that reallocating some of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) money toward workforce housing for individuals working in the resort area is a priority. She noted that Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz has been working on this issue diligently and said she would love to see this added to the list of funding sources. Council Member Rubalcava also highlighted voluntary developer contributions as a great way to encourage developers to provide more. She acknowledged that while this may affect parking, which is important to her, encouraging developers to contribute to the Voluntary Developer Distribution Fund while maintaining parking would help people continue to enjoy a high quality of life in the City and create more housing opportunities. She concluded by thanking the staff for bringing the item forward and for being so detailed in their plan. Council Member Faessel noted that Anaheim is one of only four housing authorities in Orange County, which puts the city in a unique position where the housing trust can be an important tool in its toolkit. He mentioned that he served for a number of years in the Orange County Housing Trust during its formation and expressed pride in Mayor Pro Tem Kurtz for continuing his work in that area. He emphasized the complexity of funding affordable housing projects and noted that a housing trust is one more valuable asset to help achieve those goals. He expressed his strong support for the initiative. Council Member Leon inquired about the model staff decided on for the Housing Trust. Director Ruiz-Stepter reported that after reviewing several different models with the help of diligent staff they decided on a public model. She noted that this decision was largely influenced by the feedback from the City Council, emphasizing the need for oversight on how the money is spent. She remarked that in particular, the Disney contribution was made with the expectation that there would be oversight from the City Council. She explained that given that this initiative is still in its early stages, she felt it was important for the City Council to set policy, making a public model the best choice at this time. She remarked that if future councils decide that a different model would work better, staff at that time could explore those options. She emphasized that with the City Council's strong involvement and passion to move this forward, a public model made the most sense. Council Member Leon referenced the staff report and noted that, because this is a public model, the City Council will serve as the oversight for whatever funds are received in this trust. He requested clarification if that means that no funds will be spent without prior approval and without being part of an agenda where the public can provide feedback. Director Ruiz-Stepter confirmed that was correct and noted that since the Housing and Community Development Department would serve as the administrators, they would return to the City Council on an annual basis. She explained that once staff know what is in the trust, they will outline the projects or programs they are looking to impact, and present it similarly to how they present the Department's budget. She further explained that if any changes are required mid -year, they would come back to the City Council. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 17 of 22 Council Member Leon echoed his colleagues and thanked Director Ruiz-Stepter and the entire housing team for their ongoing creativity. He acknowledged that sometimes it takes creative solutions to ensure that projects are moving forward, to provide opportunities for the community, and to really help residents. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6588 _(INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adding Section 1.08.100 to Chapter 1.08 of the Anaheim Municipal Code establishing the Anaheim Local Housing Trust Fund, seconded by Council Member Leon. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Kurtz, Diaz, Leon, Rubalcava, Faessel, and Meeks); NOES — 0. Motion carried. Ordinance introduced. B105 22• Appoint Tina Riley (The Anaheim Hotel) and Rhanda Richardson (JW Marriot, Anaheim Resort) to the ATID Advisory Board to represent hotels within the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District boundary to a term of four (4) years each or stagger the initial terms with one (1) hotel representative to serve an initial term of four (4) years, and the remaining member to serve an initial term of two (2) years [if Council decides to stagger terms; direct the City Clerk to conduct a random drawing]. DISCUSSION: Mayor Aitken explained the item is to appoint members to the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District Advisory Board to a term of four years or stagger the initial terms. MOTION: Council Member Faessel moved to appoint Tina Riley and Rhanda Richardson to a term of four (4) years each, 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. PUBLIC HEARING: 23. Public hearing to consider a proposed vacation/abandonment of portions of excess street Pilo right-of-way lying west of Anaheim Boulevard and directly south of Midway Drive requested by AGR-14956 developer, Encore Anaheim LLC, in order to clear title to construct the 156 single-family attached dwelling Residential Project [continued from the Council meeting of July 23, 2024, Public Hearing Item No. 12]. RESOLUTION NO. 2024-095 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM vacatingportions p of excess street right of way lying west of Anaheim Boulevard and directly south of Midway Drive (Abandonment No. ABA 2019-00390). Approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Encore Anaheim LLC, in the purchase price of $1,600,000, for the sale of excess right-of-way from the City; authorize changes to the agreement that do not substantially change the terms and conditions of the Agreement, so long as such changes are determined to be de minimis by the City Attorney's Office; authorize the Director of Public Works Director to execute the Agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign the Quitclaim Deed; authorize and direct the Public Works Director or his designee to execute other documents on behalf of the City, including escrow documents, as required to close escrow; and authorize the City Clerk to deliver the Resolution and Quitclaim Deed to escrow for recordation in the Orange County Recorder's Office. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 18 of 22 Public Works Director Rudy Emami reported that the item is for the proposed abandonment of portions of street right-of-way located west of Anaheim Boulevard, directly south of Midway Drive. He advised that the item was continued from the July 23, 2024 City Council meeting. He reminded the City Council that this abandonment was requested by the developer, Encore Anaheim, in order to clear titles and construct a 156-unit single-family attached dwelling residential project. He reported that at the previous meeting, the City Council requested that the developer be present to answer questions. Director Emami reported that one concern raised was about access to and from the Golden Skies Mobile Home Park located south of the project. He explained that the Miraflores project will provide both pedestrian and vehicular access from Midway Drive to Anaheim Boulevard through the site. He also addressed questions about the path to the school and potential congestion when exiting the mobile home park. He reported that students will continue to use the crosswalk at the existing Lemon Street intersection once they reach the public sidewalk. He noted that while the proposed access to and from the mobile home park is slightly improved from the current situation, there are concerns about congestion. He explained that the mobile home park would retain access rights to Zeyn Street, and the property owners could choose to create a second access point to the northern property line directly onto Zeyn Street. He explained that this would require removing one or two mobile homes currently blocking the access point. Director Emami addressed questions regarding the appraisal related to assembled values. He explained that when appraising roadway abandonments, the "across the fence" methodology is used, which considers the proposed land use at its highest and best use. He reported that in this case, a density of 36 units per acre was used. He noted that the process already takes assemblage into account because, without the abandonments, the property, divided by roadways and alleys, would make it challenging to achieve a project with that density. He added that the proposed project with the abandonments is currently designed to build at 24 units per acre. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Kurtz thanked Director Emami for addressing the concerns and mentioned that she had not seen the rendering until after the City Council meeting. She expressed gratitude for ensuring that residents of the mobile home community have access to two streets in case of emergency, both Anaheim Boulevard and Midway, with two-way traffic and pedestrian access. She highlighted her concern about only having one way in or out, which was causing backups at the Anaheim Boulevard driveway. She noted that the additional route helps alleviate the situation. She concluded by thanking Director Emami for the rendering, noting that it makes communication with the residents much easier. Council Member Leon inquired about the two mobile homes that were going to have to be removed. Director Emami reported that they will only be removed if the property owner chooses to take access from a second site that they have. He referenced the rendering that residents have access to Zeyn Street from the northern property line but it is blocked by the two mobile homes in question. He explained that if they put in another drive to connect the street it would create a secondary point of access. He emphasized that the property owner has always had the choice to create a second access point. Council Member Leon inquired about the process of moving the residents of the mobile homes in question. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 19 of 22 Director Emami explained that the property owner would have to work within tenant protection laws, especially those for mobile home parks but if there is space, they could potentially relocate the unit. He noted that one area he looked at still appears to be open, and there is also an open space nearby. At 7:42 p.m., Mayor Aitken opened the public hearing. Stephanie Mercadante noted that at the last City Council meeting, the Mayor asked important questions about the appraisal process for the abandonment of public streets and alleys. She emphasized those questions need to be addressed to ensure the City is acting in the public's best interest and getting fair market value. She outlined her questions including an assessment over each alley or overall square footage, the property value of the parcel, and how the parcel's value will be affected by combining the segments. She questioned why these kinds of questions were not asked when Disney purchased Magic Way, a public street connecting two Disney properties, which clearly increased its value. She reported that Disney provided the only appraisal for that land, which should have raised concerns. She thanked the City Council for paying attention to this project, which began under Mayor Sidhu, but compared it to the Disneyland Forward project. She remarked that the City used an appraiser for Midway, while Disney controlled the appraisal for Magic Way. She noted that in both cases, important documents were not reviewed by the City Council. She referenced comments by Council Member Meeks regarding the appraisal. She clarified that the appraisal was not attached to the public hearing. She criticized the City staff and City Council for hiding important information, failing to review documents, and costing taxpayers money. She remarked this lack of transparency has damaged the council's relationship with the public. Finally, she stated that selling public land to an investor, who would then flip it for profit without including affordable housing, is not in the public's best interest. Marc Herbert recommended that the hearing be postponed until the appraisal for the project is made available to the public. He went through several time stamps from the July 23, 2024 Council meeting highlighting issues and concerns with the appraisal and the property value. Mr. Herbert continued highlighting the issues and concerns addressed at the July 23, 2024 public hearing. He explained the residents of Anaheim deserve to know when the appraisal was conducted and why it was not included in the public record. He concluded by stating that there appears to be a lack of urgency regarding this matter and that it might take outside authorities or investigations to uncover the full details, as the City is not providing adequate oversight. One (1) electronic public comment was received related to Public Hearing Item No. 23, distributed to the City Council, and made part of the official record. — See Appendix. At 7:51 p.m., Mayor Aitken closed the public hearing. DISCUSSION: Council Member Rubalcava requested City Attorney Robert Fabela provide insight to the public on what the City Council is actually able to consider related to the public hearing and how approval of the project that the streets are connected to was handled by a previous City Council and is not subject to this hearing tonight. City Attorney Fabela explained that the abandonment process is governed by either the Streets and Highways Code or City Council policy. He advised that the two main considerations for the City Council are whether the streets are necessary for the City or not, and whether the City is receiving fair market value as just compensation. Council Member Rubalcava requested clarification on the topics that the City Council should not be discussing. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 20 of 22 City Attorney Fabela explained that the City Council should not be discussing the project itself, the inclusion or lack of inclusion of affordable housing, or the voluntary payment for affordable housing. He explained that those are topics that would have been appropriate for discussion during the initial land use issues. Council Member Rubalcava inquired who reviewed the previous land use and approved the project. City Attorney Fabela reported that it was reviewed by the Planning Commission. Council Member Rubalcava clarified the current City Council never reviewed the entitlements. She inquired if there is anything that the City Council can do about those decisions now. City Attorney Fabela confirmed that the City Council cannot reverse those decisions. Council Member Rubalcava inquired about what were the consequences if the City Council did comment on those decisions. City Attorney Fabela noted that the City Council can comment on previous decisions, but basing a decision on them would be inappropriate. Council Member Diaz remarked that 156 single-family attached homes mean the possibility of 156 families enjoying a home. He remarked that the City will not have to maintain the streets or incur liability for them. He emphasized that appraisals are holistic, accounting for all factors related to the property, including its highest and best use. He noted that abandonment is a common practice, done constantly by the city, the state, the federal government, and even individuals when buying or selling homes. He pointed out that this has been a tradition in the United States for 200 years, and there is nothing extraordinary about it. He expressed support for the project. Council Member Meeks clarified that staff did come back and discuss the appraisal and the basis for the appraisal and confirmed that the value was reviewed as an assemblage. She explained that the density that can be on the site and the City's portion of that square footage is valued the same as the other square footage on the site. She expressed the belief that the City is receiving a fair value. She suggested recommending that the City Manager allocate 50% of the money directly into the Housing Trust Fund as part of the City Council's action to address both needs. She noted that the City cannot change the project but the City is receiving money from the street abandonment. Council Member Meeks inquired if her recommendation to allocate the money could be part be a motion. Mayor Aitken inquired if there was a reason why the appraisal was not attached to the staff report. Director Emami reported that appraisals are typically part of City negotiations and are not made public on all land deals. City Attorney Fabela explained that appraisals are specifically exempted from the Public Records Act as public records until the deal is closed. He noted that once the deal is closed the appraisal is public record and can be disclosed. He recommended that the City Council hold off on making a motion on how to allocate the money based on how the item was agendized. He recommended that the City Council pursue it as a separate agenda item at a later date. Mayor Aitken inquired if the City used an MAI-certified appraiser for the appraisal and if the City Attorney reviewed it and the individual value of each of the roadways the City is abandoning. City Council Minutes of August 13, 2024 Page 21 of 22 Director Emami reported that the City hired the appraiser after the project was approved because it was understood that the abandonment was the direction the City wanted to take. He added that once the appraisal was completed, the standard process included assessing any existing encumberments on the property. He explained that discounts are typically applied based on the encumberments which is typical practice, as well as considering any exchanges or anything dedicated to the City to arrive at a figure. Lastly, he explained that was the number used to begin negotiations with the developer, and the number the City settled on. Mayor Aitken remarked that she is very comfortable with the appraisal process. She expressed appreciation for Public Works and City Attorney's Office staff for taking the time to answer many of the questions regarding the project given that it was not presented to the current City Council.

The reasons of my opposition to such acceptance include, but are not limited to, the following flaws in the EIR No. 331 ans its Addendum. 1. Neither EIR No. 331 nor its recent Addendum were a subject of public scrutiny with reasonable time and accommodations given to affected members of public to read, analyze and challenge the claims and conclusions presented in said documents as they pertain to the current Gypsum Canyon Cemeteries project a description of which has been recently posted at the City of Anaheim's website. 2. In particular, the City Council, the Planning Commission, and the Applicant (the Orange County Cemetery District) have largely ignored hundreds of opposition emails that they received with well -justified and factual arguments against building cemeteries at Gypsum Canyon due to detrimental impact that it would have on the environment, traffic, residential property values, and lives of nearby residents. This in itself goes against the CEQA requirements that stipulates involvement of public in several stages of the analyses and reviews of the environmental impact of the respective project. 3. One of the areas that has been not properly addressed is the likely detrimental impact that the proposed cemeteries will have on the traffic on the 91 Fwy and local streets in the proximity of Gypsum Canyon. Any conclusions that could have been reasonable 19 years ago are likely inadequate to the current situation as - with the population growth in adjacent areas and an increase of the number of commuters daily in 91 Fwy corridor - the traffic density and its negative impact on tractability of roads and streets and their suitability of quick evacuations of endangered residents in the case of major fire have grown substantially. 4. The question how the proposed cemeteries will affect life quality and values of homes of nearby residents has not been addressed at all, despite hundreds of emails sent to the City and OCCD Leadership specifically raising those issues. There was no public outreach regarding the current cemeteries project, and the opposition emails from the residents were largely ignored. 5. Said EIR No. 331 and its recent Addendum have a number of significant flaws as they pertain to the current cemeteries project. For instance, Geotechnical Firm Geosyntec in their report indicated a number of significant flaws of the EIR No. 331 as it pertains to the current cemeteries project. Despite the fact that the Technical Memorandum in this matter dated May 17, 2024, by Geosyntec was delivered to the City Council and Planning Council via email by many objectors to the cemeteries project, the finding in said Memorandum were neither addressed nor properly replied to. Taking all the above issues and circumstances into account, please, OPPOSE accepting the 19-years old EIR No. 331 with its recent Addendum in lieu of full and new Environmental Impact Study and Review for the current cemeteries at Gypsum Canyon project, and, please, DO REQUIRE that a full and new Environmental Impact Study and Review be completed and submitted to public scrutiny and challenges, instead, as required by the law and other regulations, in particular, CEQA.

This in itself goes against the CEQA requirements that stipulates involvement of public in several stages of the analyses and reviews of the environmental impact of the respective project. 3. One of the areas that has been not properly addressed is the likely detrimental impact that the proposed cemeteries will have on the traffic on the 91 Fwy and local streets in the proximity of Gypsum Canyon. Any conclusions that could have been reasonable 19 years ago are likely inadequate to the current situation as - with the population growth in adjacent areas and an increase of the number of commuters daily in 91 Fwy corridor - the traffic density and its negative impact on tractability of roads and streets and their suitability of quick evacuations of endangered residents in the case of major fire have grown substantially. 4. The question how the proposed cemeteries will affect life quality and values of homes of nearby residents has not been addressed at all, despite hundreds of emails sent to the City and OCCD Leadership specifically raising those issues. There was no public outreach regarding the current cemeteries project, and the opposition emails from the residents were largely ignored. 5. Said EIR No. 331 and its recent Addendum have a number of significant flaws as they pertain to the current cemeteries project. For instance, Geotechnical Firm Geosyntec in their report indicated a number of significant flaws of the EIR No. 331 as it pertains to the current cemeteries project. Despite the fact that the Technical Memorandum in this matter dated May 17, 2024, by Geosyntec was delivered to the City Council and Planning Council via email by many objectors to the cemeteries project, the finding in said Memorandum were neither addressed nor properly replied to. Taking all the above issues and circumstances into account, please, OPPOSE accepting the 19-years old EIR No. 331 with its recent Addendum in lieu of full and new Environmental Impact Study and Review for the current cemeteries at Gypsum Canyon project, and, please, DO REQUIRE that a full and new Environmental Impact Study and Review be completed and submitted to public scrutiny and challenges, instead, as required by the law and other regulations, in particular, CEQA.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Good evening, At our last meeting, the Mayor raised several critical questions and made multiple statements about the appraisal process for the abandonment of public street segments and alleys. I would like to highlight a few of her pointed inquiries and comments directed at city staff: • "Are we assessing each alley and street independently or just using overall square feet?" • "Do we do an analysis of what the whole parcel will be worth without it being divided by city streets?" • "How does this enhance the overall value?" • "Can we assume with your expertise in housing that the parcels as one large parcel will be worth a lot • more without the city streets?" • "I'm sensitive to the fact that this was approved 3 or 4 years ago..." which I can only assume is a • reference to the `Sidhu years' 1 These are all excellent points that must be addressed to ensure the city is acting in the public's best interest. It is imperative we conduct thorough due diligence to confirm that the fair market value is accurate. However, I must ask: Where were these logical questions when it came to the abandonment of Magic Way? Selling a public street to connect two Disney -owned properties undoubtedly increases that street's value. Yet, questions about the Disney -provided appraisal of the land were never asked. The simple fact that City staff deviated from policy and allowed the applicant to provide the sole appraisal should have raised red flags with all of you. It didn't. Thank you for finally showing sensitivity to a development project that began years ago under Mayor Sidhu. But do you know what other development project began under his administration? Disneyland Forward! The Midway project used a city -approved appraiser, while Disney was allowed to control the appraisal for Magic Way. Both projects share a concerning similarity: vital documents were not reviewed by the city council. Again, I ask you, how can we vote on something we haven't read? Natalie Meeks stated, "I didn't go through the appraisal but I'm gonna bet if we continue this and you look at that, that value is considered in there in part of that 1.6 million." For the record, the appraisal was not provided as an attachment to the public hearing. Why? When selling public land, shouldn't the public have the right to review all documents? Or are we expected to place the same blind trust in city staff that Ms. Meeks does? Anaheim's city staff and city council have not earned our trust. By consistently concealing pertinent information, shamelessly failing to review documentation, and undercutting taxpayers' dollars, you have damaged your relationship with your constituents. None of you can claim to be "public servants" when you are perpetually acting in your private interests. Moreover, you make slipshod attempts to hide your actions and deviations from city policy. Basic Public Records Act (PRA) requests are not being managed or completed by city staff. There is no accountability, there is no transparency, and that's exactly how you've designed it. It should go without saying: selling public land to allow an investor to assemble one large parcel, only to flip it for a huge profit and sell it to a developer with zero affordability, is not in the public's best interest. Thank you.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. I respectfully request the removal of Anaheim Chief of Police, Rick Aremdariz. Chief Aremdariz had no control over the City of Anaheim on the 4th of July, even after several months of planning, and caused our city to be placed into dangerous and fire -hazardous conditions. I request his removal immediately. His team, after months of prep and training for the 4th of July along with Anaheim Fire, failed our city and placed all of us in danger. I am in receipt, and have reviewed, the 20 PAGES of Fireworks Complaint Calls for the ENTIRE city of Anaheim to Anaheim Police from WED 7/3 - SUN 7/7, 2024. All Calls from my tract in District 1, 92804 to Anaheim Police Dispatch were CANCELED, other than one of which officer(s) stated they saw nothing (July 4th). Anaheim Police and Anaheim Fire ignored all of the pre-4th illegal fireworks concerns that were placed online on their website devoted to this issue. As well, the majority of Fireworks call complaints throughout the entire city were CANCELED! I request the City Council to ask for an investigation and agendize for the Chief of Police and the Anaheim Fire Chief to explain WHY they had absolutely NO CONTROL on the 4th of July, during council! Of 20 PAGES of city-wide complaints, APD issued only 28 citations. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! COMPLETE FAIL!

This includes increases in bullying (15% to 19%) and missing school because of such safety concerns (9% to 13%). https://sociaiemot onaipaws.com/ibiog-post-1/f/cdc-finds-early-signs-of-mentai- heaith-improvement-among-teens https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1 /f/were-not-out-of-the-woods-in-the-youth- mental-health-crisis-a https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1 /f/screen-time-activities-and-aggressive- behaviors-amona-children-an To whom it may concern.

Thanks everyone!! Kelly :-) OF fairplay childhood beyond brands November 15, 2023 TO: Interested Parties FROM: Hart Research/Hans Kaiser and Associates RE: America Wants the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) Council for RESPONSIBLE SOCIAL MEDIA Voters see very serious problems with social media in its present form and are looking to the government to address the problem. Results of our recent survey of USA voters show an overwhelming portion of the electorate (87%) believing that it is important for the President and Congress to take action to "address the harmful impact of social media on children and teens." Furthermore, almost half of all voters (49%) say it is "very" important to address these harmful impacts. These results transcend partisanship, regional and gender divisions, even vote behavior. Fully 86% of Trump voters and 88% of Biden voters believe it is important to act. "How important do you think it is for the President and Congress to take action on,...?

Nearly all voters (94%) say that mental health challenges for children and teens are a serious problem today, including 55% who say it is a very serious problem. Among parents with kids under the age of 18, the "very" serious number increases to 66%. Moreover, three in four voters place the blame on social media-73% of voters say that over the past 20 years social media has made youths' mental health worse. Huge majorities support passing laws to put safeguards in place. Fully, 87% of voters nationwide supported passing laws to address the problem (55% strongly). Again, support transcends all demographics with almost universal support among all groups. Additionally, support among parents with kids under 18 at home is at 91%. Importantly, only 9% of all voters opposed this kind of action and even then, just 2% strongly opposed. It's time to do something. "Do you support or oppose the government passing laws to put responsible safeguards in place to protect children and teens online?" 1000/0 _I 87% 80% 55% 60% 40% 32% 20% 90/0 7% 2% 5% 00/0 0000080 — � Strongly Somewhat Total support Total oppose Somewhat Strongly No support support oppose oppose opinion/not sure Hart Research/Hans Kaiser and Associates 1 Support for KOSA is wide and deep. We gave the respondents the description below and asked whether they would support or oppose the Act based on that description. Fully, 86% of all voters supported KOSA with 60% strongly" supporting the Act. Only 8% say they would oppose it and just 2% said they would "strongly" oppose it. "As you may know, the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, would require social media platforms to protect minors from online harms, such as the promotion of eating disorders, suicide, substance abuse, and sexual exploitation. And it would impose penalties on companies whose design features expose children to these types of harmful content on their platforms. This legislation would also provide children and parents with new safeguards and controls to protect themselves online, and a place to report harms to social media platforms. 100 a/o 800/o 60% 40% 20% 0 a/o After reading this, do you support or oppose the Kids Online Protection Act, or KOSA?" 60% 27% 86Q/a 8% 60/a 20/a Strongly Somewhat I Total support Total oppose Somewhat Strongly support KOSA support KOSA KOSA KOSA oppose KOSA appose KOSA Voters say they would reward Senators for supporting KOSA. 60/0 No opinion/not sure We asked if respondents would be more likely or less likely to support their own U.S. Senator if they knew they supported KOSA. While not quite as high as the support for KOSA itself, we found 74% of respondents more likely to vote for their Senator if they supported KOSA. Perhaps even more illuminating, just 8% overall said they would be less likely to vote for their Senator with only 2% of all voters stating they were "much" less likely to do so. And, again, partisans have the same reaction-74% of Republicans, 81% of Democrats, and 66% of independents would be more likely to vote for their senator if he/she supported KOSA. Not a lot of downsides there. "And thinking about your own U.S. Senators, would you be more likely or less likely to vote for therm if you knew they supported the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA?

"KOSA opponents say the Kids Online Safety Act would cut LGBTQ+ kids off from important communities and resources that may not be available to young people in real life.

A total of 1200 online interviews were conducted among a representative sample of likely 2024 general election voters nationwide. The credibility interval (sampling error) is plus or minus 3% for N=1200 and higher for subgroups, such as gender or an individual age category.

INVOCATION PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -1- 7/14/20 PUBLIC SAFETY AD HOC COMMITTEE UPDATE AS REQUESTED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS KIM NUGYEN STEPHANIE KLOPFENSTEIN AND DIEDRE THU-HA NGUYEN (F: 78.8) Police Chief DaRe provided the history and purpose of the Commission on Accreditation Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), a nationally recognized organization of law enforcement professional membership associations. In 1988, under Police Chief Kessler, the Garden Grove Police Department (GGPD) achieved CALEA accreditation, and in 1998, was the first agency in the nation to receive the first CALEA award. Law Enforcement Accreditation focuses on best practices and provides a foundation to commit to excellence in law enforcement that includes leadership and resource management that emphasizes community policing. The next CALEA accreditation process, which is every three years, is August 2020. Future goals to reduce risk and enhance accountability, includes the implementation and modernization of web based updates to policies based on current law, and clear and concise training modules utilizing Lexipol LLC, which is used by 95 percent of law enforcement agencies nationally, including campus police. The Police Department implements an early warning system that is designed to assist supervisors to intervene when necessary to prevent negative consequences for employees and the department. Three types of issues related to an employee that includes use of force, activates an early warning system to be internally reviewed to determine a pattern of behavior or misconduct followed up through the chain of command. The Juvenile Justice Center (JJC) was started in 1995 under Police Chief Raney with the purpose of providing a diversion center for minors. JJC has worked in partnerships with Garden Grove Police Detectives, Dare Officers, School Resource Officers, Orange County District Attorney Personnel, Orange County Probation Officers, Garden Grove Unified School District Personnel, Orange County Social Workers, and the Boys and Girls Club Family and Youth Outreach. Counselors work with youth offenders using a mental health approach, which provides an opportunity for providing a diversionary program and avoiding incarceration. The Center has proved to be a model for other Orange County cities, has remained consistent and has adapted to ongoing social and financial challenges. Leading the way in Orange County, GGPD has been using in -car video systems since 2015, and since 2018, body cameras are used by all police officers. The Garden Grove Police Department participates in the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) program, which requires police officers to receive bias and racial profiling awareness training every five years; however, CALEA guidelines require annual training. In April 2019, three Police Sergeants received bias based instructor training to become instructors for the department. All officers are trained in de-escalation techniques, interpersonal communications, and mental health crisis intervention, and are required to attend bi-annual interpersonal communication and de-escalation training certified by the California POST and all Garden Grove Officers -2- 7/14/20 are on a bi-annual training schedule. Every officer receives mental health and crisis intervention training, skills that every officer uses on a daily basis. California POST requires each officer to receive this training in the academy with no mandated requirement beyond graduating from the academy. Under CALEA guidance, Garden Grove officers receive training on this topic every few years. Chief DaRe has eliminated the Police Advisory Board to create a Chief's Advisory Council with a focus on youth and diversity, which provides an opportunity to foster an open exchange of philosophy and information. Several members have been selected from the community, including two Garden Grove Unified students. Additional members will be selected based on the best representation of the City's diverse population. Due to COVID-19, in -person meetings have not taken place; however, the first meeting took place telephonically on July 1, 2020. During the school closure, the school district received over 80 threats of violence, and with full support of the Garden Grove Unified School District, the Garden Grove, Anaheim and Irvine Police Departments, and the Orange County Sheriff's Department have established the North School Mobile Assessment (NSMA) team that includes behavioral and mental health professionals with the purpose of analyzing, monitoring and investigating school threats. Participating with NSMA provides for a collaborative approach that enhances the Department's community response for safer neighborhoods.

DISCUSSION REGARDING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE REQUIRING THE WEARING OF FACE COVERINGS IN PUBLIC DURING THE COVID-19 LOCAL EMERGENCY AS REQUESTED BY COUNCIL MEMBER KIM NGUYEN (F: 117.2A) Council Member K. Nguyen noted that this resolution is an effort to be transparent for the benefit of the residents, and reflects what has been passed at the State level, and that she would like to see outreach by the City to reinforce the message for everyone to wear a mask out in public. Council Member D. Nguyen expressed support for the resolution, and understands the importance for people to take COVID-19 seriously. The CDC reported that if everyone wears a mask, we can get this under control. The seatbelt law saved lives, and masks will save lives and the economy. Council Member Klopfenstein commented that she was uncomfortable with some of the proposed language in the resolution. As an alternative, she suggested that staff be directed to use social media for public outreach and education. She thanked the residents who are taking the pandemic seriously, and noted that most people out in public are wearing masks. Council Member Brietigam agreed that everyone needs to do their part, but should be free to make the choice and live with the consequences. He expressed that adopting a resolution for a rule that is state mandated is adding another unnecessary level of government. Council Member Bui encouraged everyone to wear a mask, but it needs to be a choice. He expressed that it could become a liability for the City by enforcing a law that is the job of the health department and the state. Mayor Pro Tern O'Neill liked the way the City has been handling implementing what the state and county has mandated, and is in favor of focusing on education and to simply recommend wearing a mask. -11- 7/14/20 Following further City Council debate, Council Member K. Nguyen moved, seconded by Council Member D. Nguyen to bring forward a resolution requiring the wearing of face coverings in public during the COVID-19 local emergency to be considered for adoption at the next City Council meeting. The motion failed by a 2-5 vote as follows: Ayes: (2) D. Nguyen, K. Nguyen Noes: (5) Brietigam, Bui, Klopfenstein, O'Neill, Jones MATTERS FROM THE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND CITY MANAGER (Continued) Council Member K. Nguyen announced traffic improvements are coming soon near Santiago High School in District 6. She thanked city staff for ensuring the meeting ran smooth and thanked staff who sanitized the podium after each speaker. She addressed a formal complaint against her filed with the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) by Garden Grove resident Tony Flores in regards to her vote in favor of the Community Workforce Agreement, after receiving campaign contributions from the union. She noted that the City Attorney explained to Mr. Flores that the campaign law had not been violated; however, Mr. Flores filed a formal complaint with the FPPC. She read the response from FPPC to Mr. Flores stating that campaign contribution laws had not been violated. She stated that Mr. Flores has obsessively targeted her, and speculated that this behavior is in response to disagreeing with positions she has taken on the dais. She stated that she will continue to express her views and use her vote to serve the disenfranchised and underserved in her district. She concluded by agreeing with Mr. Flores that the meeting should be adjourned in memory of Army Specialist Vanessa Guillen, who was sexually harassed and then viciously murdered. She stated that she prays for Ms. Guillen's family that they receive justice, and she prays for survivors of sexual assault, as well as for change to prevent sexual abuse. Council Member Klopfenstein announced that Vector Control has identified a positive test for West Nile virus last week around the area of Brookhurst and Stafford, and recommended that residents get to know neighbors to share this information and to take extra precautions against mosquitoes. Council Member Bui noted that campaign contributions are not considered a gift and wants to make it clear that he and other council members did receive contributions from the union at least a year before voting on the Community Workforce agreement. He expressed his opinion that as a matter of transparency and ethics, Council Member K. Nguyen should have recused herself from voting on the agreement because of receiving contributions a couple of months prior. He expressed shock at Council Member K. Nguyen's comments made at the last City Council meeting related to the perception of Asian people being dubbed as passive. -12- 7/14/20 Council Member D. Nguyen encouraged everyone to wear masks, to stay healthy, and wished a happy birthday to Council Member K. Nguyen. Mayor Pro Tern O'Neill wished Council Member K. Nguyen a happy birthday. Council Member Brietigam stated he would like to reinvigorate the youth commission, and motioned to list it for discussion on the agenda at the next meeting. He suggested that a youth commission be combined with the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission. Council Member K. Nguyen seconded the motion; however, a stand-alone youth commission would be more appropriate. She asked that information be provided on what other cities are doing. Council Member Brietigam expressed that he would like staff to come back with recommendations, and would like to take action at the next meeting. The motion carried by a 7-0 vote as follows: Ayes: (7) Brietigam, D. Nguyen, Bui, Klopfenstein, K. Nguyen, O'Neill, Jones Noes: (0) None Council Member Brietigam congratulated Brett Simpson, a former resident of Garden Grove, for being named as the Olympic surfing coach. He expressed concern about council members approving the Workforce Agreement after receiving campaign contributions, and noted that scenario was an example provided in the ethics training they received. He stated he was left speechless in reaction to racist, hateful comments expressed by Council Member K. Nguyen at the last meeting, and stated there is no justification for hate speech and that labeling white Americans with the same broad brush does not make the viewpoint factual, and those who stand by in the face of racism are just as guilty. Being mixed race, he denounces racism. He cautioned Council Member K. Nguyen that if she brings further hate speech to the dais, regardless of the race attacked, he will initiate a censure process to the council immediately. City Manager Stiles stated that the next City Council meeting will be cancelled for summer recess; the 2020 Pavement Management program details will be brought to the City Council in August; Assistant City Manager, Maria Stipe, is working on the details for the ribbon and pin for essential workers that will be brought back in August for City Council consideration; the Census is continuing to be promoted, and that on Friday, July 24, 2020, there will be a Census caravan starting at the Stanton City Hall on Katella Avenue and end at SteelCraft on Euclid Street; Community Development and Economic Department staff are assisting small businesses by waiving all permit fees for outdoor dining and information on resources are available on the City's website; Community Relations will take the -13- 7/14/20 lead on educating and informing the public on wearing masks and social distancing. He thanked Council Member Bui for his work and involvement in the progress of the ERP system, and commended the Finance and Information Technology Departments for all of their work replacing a forty year old automated financial system. He concluded by wishing everyone a happy summer recess. Mayor Jones stated that there is nothing to report on the Closed Session matters, and he wished Council Member K. Nguyen a Happy Birthday. ADJOURNMENT At 1:06 a.m., Mayor Jones adjourned the meeting. The next Regular City Council Meeting scheduled on Tuesday, July 28, 2020, at 5:30 p.m. at the Community Meeting Center, 11300 Stanford Avenue, Garden Grove, California.

The reason, according to Irvine City Council members and OCPA Board members, Tammy Kim and Kathleen Treseder, is to get the benefit of cleaner energy, and they do it for the benefit of everyone. That sounds so noble, but I don't think their customers are actually seeing it that way. But it is all so pointless anyway, because the fossil -fuel based utility grid (SCE), where we ALL receive our power from, is at its maximum capacity for renewable energy. The grid supplies us ALL with approximately 35.8% of renewables, and integrating anymore presents challenges without a huge backup system. PURCHASE OF RENEWABLES So where is all that renewable energy going that OCPA customers are paying a premium for? Well, the OCPA is in the business of buying and selling power, for a profit, And because California has an over -abundance of renewables, and they are inexpensive, OCPA will go into a market where they can get sold for a profit, while simultaneously purchasing cheap fossil fuel to supply to the grid. With each purchase of renewable energy comes a receipt that is separate from the physical electricity, and these receipts can be bought and sold independently. OCPA hangs on to these receipts, also known as Renewable Energy Certificates (REC's), and gives those to the State to offset their own energy consumption of fossil fuels, and claim that they are using renewable energy, even if they are still connected to a conventional grid like SCE. This process is known as greenwashing. Greenwashing is the practice of misleading the public by presenting a product or service as environmentallyfriendlyor sustainable when it is not. RESERVE FUND I find it extremely concerning that the OCPA has a huge reserve fund. Especially since they have the largest opt -out rate of all California Community Choice Energy (CCE) programs in California of 38%. The average is between 4% - 8%. Irvine City Council member and OCPA Board member, Kathleen Treseder used OCPA reserve funds to donate to Ayn Cracuin's campaign for a seat on the Irvine City Council. Ayn Craciun is Treseders friend, and additional OCPA funds were given to Ayn Craciun/Climate Action Campaign, totaling $30,000! Also important to note; Craciun is Treseder's Commissioner on the Irvine City Council. Then there is Irvine City Council member and OCPA Board member, Tammy Kim, who gives thousands of dollars to non- profit organizations overseas that help fund her campaign as she runs for the Mayor of Irvine. Other Board members give customer funds away to organizations of their liking, organizations that have nothing to do with clean energy projects. Some of these organizations get funding from their own cities as well. To say that the OCPA is being used as their own personal slush fund is an understatement. I have attached OCPA's Financial Statements that include their check registers (on the very last pages) for you to decide. REASONS WHY OTHER CITIES GOT OUT OF THE POWER AUTHORITY • Lake Forest left during their grace period and before any energy was procured for their city. The reasons were multiple. They wanted the Joint Powers Agreement amended to give a term limit for the Board Chairperson. They also wanted the mentions of EMINENT DOMAIN in the Joint Powers Agreement to be taken out, completely. And they did not want Irvine to have two seats on the Board. All requests were denied. • The County of Orange gave notice after power was already procured for their customers, but prior to its delivery by SCE. They still walked away paying a hefty fine.The two main reasons the Board of Supervisors voted to get out was because the OCPA refused to show their power purchase contracts and agreements. They also felt that the CEO and their legal attorney was unable to properly address their overall concerns. • Huntington Beach and OCPA Board member, Casey McKeon, asked the OCPA for the California Independent System Operator Settlement Statements. The OCPA denied his request. McKeon stated that there was no reason not to release these documents, and by not doing so, confirms his belief that their entire operation is a fraud. He stated they were nothing but a "Shell" company, and compared them to Enron. OCPA OPERATIONS Long-term power purchases are made a year in advance. And with OCPA's unusually high opt -out rate, they need to secure new cities before their existing customers are saddled with paying the cost difference. This could financially bankrupt the organization. POWER CONTENT LABEL OCPA's Power Content Label (PCL) only discloses what the OCPA has purchased, and not what they have sold off for profit. Misleading or deception, you decide. FEASIBILITY STUDY Recently at a Costa Mesa City Council Meeting, OCPA CEO, Joe Mosca stated that a Feasibility Study is done FOR the benefit of the OCPA. He claims that the study is to see if the city considering joining will benefit their organization. This is a bold face lie and I think the Costa Mesa Council saw this as a deception as well. The fact that OCPA is paying for this study, while the other cities had to pay for their own, but utilized OCPA's recommended agency, and before the OCPA was up and running, says they want to control what the study will say about the organization now, because the report will be shared with the respective city. IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEMBER • Cities that join are automatically removingtheir residents and businesses from SCE and placingthem in the OCPA. • Whether enrolled in OCPA or SCE, everyone receives the same mix of energy, only difference is, OCPA customers pay more for Smart Choice and 100% renewable. • OCPA claims they are transparent, but refuses to showtheir settlement statements. • Until the loan to Irvine is paid back, Irvine will have two seats on the board. • Having substantial reserves with an unusually high opt -out rate is concerning as to how those reserves were collected. • Misuse of customer funds by board members, and mismanagement are serious concerns. Without an outside independent oversight review board, customers will have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. • Long-term energy contracts can affect rates. OCPA needs to be transparent and keep customers informed of the pros and cons of these contracts. • The six-month notice requirement by the OCPA for customers to switch back to SCE is a significant consideration for a potential city that is considering signing on. • OCPA can change their rates AT ANY TIME, as they are not regulated by the State like SCE. • Cities do not have local control when the board votes are weighted by each cities load share, and Irvine gets two votes. • The Joint Powers Agreement (attached) should be reviewed by a legal attorney that specializes in energy contracts. Cities need to know what their outside liabilities are, and how eminent domain can become a real issue if the OCPA goes bankrupt and those long-term power contracts do not get paid. PAST HISTORY With all the public scrutiny and past audits, including by the City of Irvine, the OCPA has not changed how they are managed and operated. Management is still the same. They still employ the same legal firm and advisory consultants; the CEO is no better than the last CEO. In fact, they both have the same employment history of sitting on various boards, except Joe Mosca was the Mayor of Sierra Madre. However, as you will see from the attached article, the residents were not too happy about him, even describing his less than truthful ways. And to think the OCPA selected Joe, out of over 100 applicants, a person who was already employed at the OCPA, in the Communications Department, and was hired by the previous CEO. Both of whom, have no degree in the energy field, or experience in dealing with huge amounts of money in buying and selling of power. An obvious requirement for a CEO position in any energy organization, and mentioned in the audit reports. SUMMARY This organization gives the appearance that it is reducing carbon emissions by the procurement of renewables, and even worse is their customers are mislead into believingthose renewables are going straight into their homes and businesses. Going 100% renewable means spending trillions of dollars to invest in battery storage and solar panels. But this would just add to environmental concerns down the road. Batteries and Solar Panels are toxic within themselves, and without a safe way to dispose of them when they have been used up is a major concern. The public needs to know what the long-term effects are by going 100% Green, instead of encouraging organizations like the Orange County Power Authority, which isn't even doing that.

Sales revenue includes revenues actually billed to customers as well as estimated customer usage during the reporting period that is not yet billed. Cost of Energy 101.7% The variance is primarily due to the timing difference between projected and actual delivery of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and fluctuating market prices. Data Manager 107.4% These are Calpine fees charged on a per active account basis. The discrepancy related to Calpine's service fees was higher than expected due to the bi-monthly enrollment of Net Energy Metering (NEM) accounts, which were not accounted for in the original budget. By October 2023, all NEM accounts had been enrolled into the OCPA service, contributing to the increased fees. Staff plans to update the service fee projections in the mid -year FY23/24 budget review in March 2024. Service Fees - SCE 164.6% These are SCE fees charged on a per customer basis. The discrepancy arose because the actual service fees charged by SCE for were higher than initially projected by SCE. This resulted in a budget shortfall. Staff plans to update the SCE service fee projections during the mid -year FY23/24 budget review in March 2024 to align with the actual costs. Personnel 31.2% Staffing expenses are under budget due to the timing delay of new hires. Professional Services 78.4% This category includes accounting and audit, rates and financial & planning analysis, portfolio management, scheduling coordinator, HR including recruitment services and compensation study, IT, and other consultants. Legal Costs 87.6% This category includes outside legal costs for general counsel, energy procurement transactional support, labor, clerk support, regulatory, member agency withdrawal, and RA appeal services. Marketing and customer enrollment 94.6% This category includes advertising, strategic marketing & communications, digital marketing and website development and hosting, collateral marketing, translation, sponsorships & memberships, promotional items, required customer notifications printing and mailing. Other General & Administrative 77.7% This category includes ordinary G&A including rent, Ca1CCA membership, general business insurance, small equipment and software, travel, business meals, professional development, and office supplies.

Sales revenue includes revenues actually billed to customers as well as estimated customer usage during the reporting period that is not yet billed. Cost of Energy 107.0% The variance is affected by increased energy purchases required to provide for greater than expected customer load. Also affecting the variance is the timing difference between projected and actual delivery of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and fluctuating market prices. Data Manager 108.1% These are Calpine fees charged on a per active account basis. The discrepancy related to Calpine's service fees was higher than expected due to the bi-monthly enrollment of Net Energy Metering (NEM) accounts, which were not accounted for in the original budget. By October 2023, all NEM accounts had been enrolled into the OCPA service, contributing to the increased fees. Staff plans to update the service fee projections in the mid -year FY23/24 budget review in March 2024. Service Fees - SCE 146.8% These are SCE fees charged on a per customer basis. The discrepancy arose because the actual service fees charged by SCE for were higher than initially projected by SCE. This resulted in a budget shortfall. Staff plans to update the SCE service fee projections during the mid -year FY23/24 budget review in March 2024 to align with the actual costs. Personnel 33.4% Staffing expenses are under budget due to the timing delay of new hires. Professional Services 77.5% This category includes accounting and audit, rates and financial & planning analysis, portfolio management, scheduling coordinator, HR including recruitment services and compensation study, IT, and other consultants. Legal Costs 90.0% This category includes outside legal costs for general counsel, energy procurement transactional support, labor, clerk support, regulatory, member agency withdrawal, and RA appeal services. Marketing and customer enrollment 111.3% This category includes advertising, strategic marketing & communications, digital marketing and website development and hosting, collateral marketing, translation, sponsorships & memberships, promotional items, required customer notifications printing and mailing. Actual expenses were greater than the budget by $136k. This was due to timing, as the OCPA's anniversary campaign and related media and communication initiatives were incurred in October 2023. Staff expects less expenses to be incurred in 2024.

The governing body of the Authority shall be a Board of Directors ("Board") consisting of one director for each Party appointed in accordance with subsection 3.2, except the City of Irvine whose governing body shall appoint two directors (the "Irvine Directors").

The governing body of each Party shall appoint and designate in writing the Director(s) who shall be authorized to act for and on behalf of the Party on matters within the powers of the Authority. The governing body of each Party shall also appoint and designate in writing an alternate Director(s) who may vote in matters when the regular Director is absent from a Board meeting. The governing bodies of the Founding Parties may, in their sole discretion, elect to appoint their respective Director(s) prior to the Effective Date, in which case such appointment(s) to the Board shall take effect on the Effective Date. The persons appointed and designated as the regular Director and the alternate Director shall be a member of the governing body of the Party when appointed. 3.3 Terms of Office. Each regular and alternate Director shall serve a term of four years. If at any time a vacancy occurs on the Board, a replacement shall be appointed by the governing body to fill the position of the previous Director within ninety (90) days of the date that such position becomes vacant. Replacement Directors shall serve until the scheduled expiration of the four year term of the Board member that they replace. 3.4 Quorum.

The initial members of the executive committee shall be the Directors of the Founding Members with the chair of the Board serving as chair of the Executive Committee. 3.7 Committees. The Board may establish committees as the Board deems appropriate to assist the Board in carrying out its functions and implementing the purposes of this Agreement. In accordance with subsection 2.3, the Board may delegate to any committees that consist solely of Board members any of the powers specified in subsection 2.1, except for the power to acquire property by eminent domain specified in subsection 2.1.5. Committees that include or consist of non -Board members shall be advisory only. 5 55695.00001\33485367.1 3.8 Director Compensation.

Each Director or participating alternate shall have one vote. Except as provided for in Sections 3.9.2, 3.9.3 and 3.9.4, action of the Board on all matters shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of all Directors who are present at the subject meeting ("Equal Vote"). 3.9.2 Voting Shares Vote. Immediately after (and during the same Board Meeting as) an affirmative or tie Equal Vote, two or more Directors shall have the right to request and conduct a Voting Shares Vote (defined below) to reconsider that action approved by the Equal Vote. In the event of a Voting Shares Vote where the City of Irvine appoints two Directors to the Board and one or more Irvine Directors requests a Voting Shares Vote, a Party other than the City of Irvine must constitute the second Director for purposes of having the right to request and conduct a Voting Shares Vote. A "yes" vote on the Voting Shares Vote shall be a vote to reverse and reject the Equal Vote; a "no" vote on the Voting Shares Vote shall be a vote to affirm the Equal Vote. For Voting Shares Votes, votes shall be weighted as described in subsection 3.9.3. A "yes" vote on a Voting Shares Vote shall require (i) for votes requiring a majority under subsection 3.9.1, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of all Directors voting; (ii) for votes requiring a supermajority of two-thirds under this Agreement, sixty-seven percent (67%) or more of the voting shares of all Directors voting; and (iii) for votes requiring a supermajority of three quarters under this Agreement more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting shares of all Directors voting. All votes taken pursuant to this subsection 3.9.2 shall be referred to as a "Voting Shares Vote." If a Voting Shares Vote yields a "no" vote, the legal effect is to affirm the Equal Vote with respect to which the Voting Shares Vote was taken. If the Voting Shares Vote succeeds, the legal effect is to nullify the Equal Vote with respect to which the Voting Shares Vote was taken. If the underlying Equal Vote was a tie, the Voting Shares Vote replaces that tie vote. No action may be taken solely by a Voting Shares Vote without first having taken an Equal Vote. 3.9.3 Voting Shares Formula. When a Voting Shares Vote is requested by two or more Directors, voting shares of each Director shall be determined by the following formula: (Annual Energy Use/Total Annual Energy) x 100 For purposes of this formula (a) "Annual Energy Use" means (i) for the first two years following the Effective Date, the annual electricity usage, expressed in kilowatt hours ("kWh"), within the jurisdiction of the Party appointing the Director(s) and (ii) following the second anniversary of the Effective Date, the annual electricity usage, expressed in kWh, of accounts within the jurisdiction of the Party appointing the Director(s) that are served by the Authority, and (b) "Total Annual Energy" means the sum of all Parties' Annual Energy Use. The initial values for Annual Energy 0 55695.00001\33485367.1 use are designated in Exhibit B and the initial voting shares are designated in Exhibit C. Both Exhibit B and Exhibit C shall be adjusted annually as soon as reasonably practicable after January 1 of each year, but no later than March 1 of each year, subject to the approval of the Board. Voting shares attributable to Irvine shall be divided equally between the Irvine Directors. 3.9.4 Special Voting. 3.9.4.1 Two -Thirds Supermajority Votes. An affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Directors of the entire Board shall be required to take any action on the following (i) issuing or repayment of bonds loans or other forms of debt; (ii) adding or removing Parties on or after January 1, 2021; (iii) amending or terminating this Agreement or adopting or amending the bylaws of the Authority; and (iv) terminating the CCA Program. 3.9.4.2 Three -Fourths Supermajority Votes. An affirmative vote of three -fourths of the Directors of the Board shall be required to initiate any action for eminent domain and no eminent domain action shall be approved within the jurisdiction of a Party without the affirmative vote of such Party's Director (or both Irvine Directors, if applicable, in the case of eminent domain action within the City of Irvine). 3.9.4.3 Advance Notice of Special Voting. At least thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Parties shall be provided for all special voting items under subsection 3.9.4.1 and/or subsection 3.9.4.2. Such notice shall include a copy of all substantive documents necessary to meaningfully deliberate and consider the proposed vote (e.g., any proposed amendment to this Agreement or the bylaws of the Authority). The Authority shall also provide prompt written notice to all Parties of the action taken, which shall include any resolution, ordinance, rule, policy, agreement, filing or other operative document (if any) adopted or approved by the Board. 3.10 Officers. 3.10.1 Chair and Vice Chair. The Directors shall select from among themselves a Chair and a Vice -Chair. The Chair shall be the presiding officer of all Board meetings. The Vice -Chair shall serve in the absence of the Chair.

(AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi) While more recent arrivals in town may be unaware of this fellow's significance, veteran Sierra Madreanos are likely to remember Joe Mosca. The one-time mayor of Sierra Madre first arrived in town in late 2005, only to run for City Council less than a year later. Obviously he was a young man in a hurry. One of splendid gifts and much promise all were assured by his handlers. Running as a preservationist opposed to a clunky mixed -use nightmare known as the "Downtown Specific Plan;' Joe rode to elective glory upon a wave of local revulsion at the city's fraudulent proto-development political establishment. When his election gave slow-growthers a clear City Council majority, many declared the town's troubles over. Alas, no. As often happens with local baby -kissers, Mosca quickly flipped on everything he'd previously promised. He became an aggressive supporter of the very project he'd opposed when running for office. Something that led to a successful resident land use revolt called Measure V, an unsuccessful recall, general civic mayhem, plus some annoying blogs. Then, for reasons remaining unclear to this day, in 2011 Joe suddenly resigned his office. This only months after he'd won re-election with a campaign vowing his eternal love of Sierra Madre. Some credited Chris Holden for effortlessly crushing Mosca's state Assembly ambitions, leaving him with little reason to stay. Others pointed to his physician husband being awarded a lucrative job in San Diego, bread winner's needs carrying the day. Shortly after landing in the San Diego County surf and sand suburb of Encinitas, Mosca somehow managed to get himself appointed to an open seat on that City Council. This despite the many other hopeful applicants who'd lived there for more than a hot minute. When he actually needed to run for that seat a few years later, he barely eked out a victory over an 80- year-old resident who rarely left the house due to his ailments. The ad spots run by his opponent's campaign featured footage of Mosca acting up at Sierra Madre City Council meetings. If you've ever lived in Sierra Madre you should go to the March 20 entry of The Tattler and check one out. You might be in it. Which leads us to the present, and a story that ran in several Encinitas weeklies. Apparently they all share the same reporter. "Mosca announces he won't run again for Encinitas City Council: Encinitas City Councilman Joe Mosca will not seek another term in office, he announced at the March 16 council meeting" Deja vu? Again? I asked a politically connected Encinitas resident what's up with this. The reply: "Mosca certainly would have encountered an absolutely brutal campaign going up against a respected Planning Commissioner, someone who knows the code and fights for residents. Joe's reputation in Encinitas, and especially in his district, is one of favoring over -development. Specifically burdening his district, mostly horse country having wildfire evacuation issues already, with the high -density 283-unit Goodson project, which spawned the citizens group Encinitas RRD." Joe and his development issues. They follow him wherever he may roam. My poetic informant then added this: "Joe never stops talking. The endless thanking of city staff (who often get things wrong at resident expense) is mind-blowing. His revisions of history are outright lies and he has no shame telling them, straight-faced, to people knowing better." Can it be that Mosca has simply worn everybody in Encinitas out? Certainly this wouldn't be the first time. But is it really the end of Joe? Is there going to be a third town? As one prognosticator on my site opined, "My guess is he will move to El Centro, and run for their City Council as Jose Mosca." John Crawford publishes the Sierra Madre Tattler.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Hello Mayor Aitken and city council members, We are residents in your district and we have mailed you a complaint regarding collusion between Anaheim PD and our neighbor Justin Modiry, who is a board member for Running Springs Elementary School. Justin Modiry is currently a defendant in an unlimited civil case (CJC-30-2023-01352996-CU-OR- NJC) in the Orange County Superior Court for trespassing, encroachment, etc.. Justin Modiry has utilized his position of power as Running Springs Elementary School Board Member Status to retaliate against us after we brought claims against him. We are tax payers of the city and the county but our rights to securely live in our property in the district and safely attend the Running Springs Elementary School is severely compromised. This unconstitutional infringement of the right to public education and the right to fair housing has been propagated by the collusion between Justin Modiry and his law enforcement buddies in OC Sheriff Department and Anaheim PD. Because our constitutional rights to fair policing, right to fair housing, and right to public education are violated and critically infringed, we were forced to flee to other school districts, even though we are tax payers of this district. Please let us know how to obtain a speaker card at the council meeting. In the mean time, if the situation is not properly remedied, please be advised it will be escalated to the State Attorney General, US Department of Justice, and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thank you for your time. Ben and Becky Susana Barrios From: Kathy Chance Sent: Monday, August 12, 2024 1:24 PM To: Public Comment Cc: Dukku Lee Subject: [EXTERNAL] Thank you, Public Utilities!

Spring August 13, 2024 RE: LIST OF UNREPORTED INCIDENTS RELATED TO APPARENT VICTIM County of Orange Board of Supervisors City of Anaheim Council Members On January 20, 2022, I witness an incident at a business facility in Anaheim Hills that was not reported by me to an Anaheim Police detective until after my scientific research was adequate to verify an underage girl was administered the cruelest and most dangerous type of mind control that is still being used on individual prisoners in Russia and by Marxist agents deployed in other nations. It is able to control the victim's subconscious mind indefinitely, alters behavior, and it causes permanent severe damage to the cerebrum or human brain. Before meeting with the Anaheim Police detective, he has already dismissed my report. When he met with me so I could explain with a diagram of the scene, a male police officer and female OC social worker came with him. So, instead of giving me an opportunity to explain the situation of a young vulnerable girl being administered an undisclosed type of mind control by a male then 62-year-old coworker for nearly an hour in an area blocked from the outside, a female County of Orange social worker was attempting to get mental help for me, when in reality, they attempted to discredit me so I would be unable report any further incidents related to this young victim. After contacting Orange County Child Protective Services, as well as the high school where she was enrolled only online, the school district administrators, and the pastor of her church, it was not until the end of summer in 2022, when someone suggested locating her on an adult website on the Internet, it was possible to identify another girl who worked at the same place of business located in Anaheim Hills. Because the victim had earlier shared something with my late wife and me, I was finally able to identify her because she was changed beyond recognition. So, by early fall in 2022, I began monitoring, observing, and listening to her without realizing that nothing being reported by me would be blocked by the efforts of a police detective as well as a social worker. As a result, none of the following incident cold ever reach appropriate officials while this apparent confined, defenseless, and isolated victim was allegedly beaten and tortured. Because I was the only witness, it has been my duty to become and remain as her only advocate! Unfortunately, for reporting this incident after doing extensive scientific research, I have been discredited while this victim has acquired a brain tumor that has caused damage to her mind that was earlier above level of genius while she now struggles to recall common household words. After discussing various types of brain tumors with medical specialists and physicians, generally the outcome becomes fatal. In her case, neurologists, oncologists, and psychologists would not be aware of the cause because the victim is unaware as well as the owners who will not disclose what they have allegedly done to her for a considerable financial profit. So, the victim will die. Since the last time I ever saw the victim in person was on January 24 in 2022, it was a shock when seeing her for the first time over a half -year later appearing on the Internet. Although she was confined to a studio in an apartment, apparently without access for her, a male impregnated her. She was pregnant and identified herself as being "an expectant mother" after recordings did indicate her "career" began by the end of January in 2022 while still underage. She also said, "they are making arrangements for me to have a procedure [tubal ligation] so that I will become sterile." A few weeks later, during the fall of 2022, her unborn child or fetus was aborted. This was probably done for business financial reasons that causes investors not to receive a profit. Quite often she would express her hunger by being left alone without wholesome food for many hours and unable to leave by herself. Nearly every day, there would appear new cuts, bruises, and scars from beatings and torture. However, one day, three six-inch very deep cuts appeared that were precise, parallel, and one - inch apart with blood reaching the surface for several days at an inaccessible area of her body where they could not have been self-inflicted by her. About a week later, she displayed a fan from Japan. After doing research, I discovered some Japanese fans were martial arts weapons when swords were not permitted. So, apparently someone else had caused those deep wounds. It was reported by me to the police departments of Anaheim, Irvine, and Tustin. However, one of the police officers told me that he had been contacted by the Anaheim Police detective whom I had originally report the earlier incident on January 20, 2022. Later, I was contacted by the AP detective and OC social worker when it became very clear they had allegedly defamed me. So, when I spoke first at Anaheim City Council meetings and later before the Board of Supervisors for the County of Orange, legal counsel had apparently advised them not to listen to me or to respond to any of my emails or phone calls. Over two months ago, this victim mentioned the results of an MRI exam on her head and neck diagnosed a tumor in her brain. Although I tried to contact the office of Sara Marchese, MD, who is Medical Director for Orange County Social Services to inform her how ineffective the agency of Child Protective Services is and my reason(s) for contacting those physicians who would be treating this victim, I have never received any professional response except from social workers who admitted they could do nothing on her behalf or refer me to any official who might be able to help this young girl who may still be only 15 when some say she is 20 while the website on the Internet lists her age as 22. Her owners, of course, will refuse to cooperate for obvious reasons. I cannot prove who did beat and torture her, but I hope there is still time to save her life. John W.
