Representatives from the Police Department, Fire & Rescue, Public Utilities, and Code Enforcement will be there to speak about how seniors can protect themselves at home and in the community. Council Member Kurtz stated that it has been two years since the hotel community came to the City to address housing for workers in the hotel community.

The forum focused on aspects of childcare including safety, economics, well-being, education, and health. Council Member Maahs encouraged everyone to visit the Orange County Social Services Agency to review a copy of the report. She thanked Orange County Supervisor Doug Chafee for organizing the forum and she stated it was staggering to hear the rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Council Member Maahs congratulated the graduating classes of 2025. She had the privilege to attend the promotions at James Guinn Elementary School, Benito Juarez Elementary School, and Katella High School. She recognized the parents and Parent Teacher Associations for all their work. Council Member Maahs shared that she and a few of her Council colleagues attended the Anaheim Family YMCA luncheon that was hosted by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at Angel Stadium. The YMCA RBI program is for children aged seven to ten years old. During the program they learn the fundamentals of baseball while building teamwork, sportsmanship, and confidence. The Angels Foundation provides uniforms, gloves, and expert coaching so that the program participants can have fun while in a supportive environment. Council Member Maahs thanked Public Utilities for hosting the OC Green Expo. She stated it is an opportunity to see and potentially drive electronic vehicles. There were eco-friendly organizations there to share resources and a lot of free prizes and giveaways. It was a family fun event, and she thanked the City departments that were there to provide resources. Council Member Maahs announced that she will not be at the next Council meeting due to a family commitment prior to being elected. She stated that she tried working with staff to be able to call into the next meeting but was unable to work that out. Council Member Maahs encouraged anyone to contact her with comments or questions. Council Member Balius announced that the first concert of this year's Concerts in the Park series is taking place Thursday, June 12 at Maxwell Park. He invited everyone to an exciting evening featuring a lively performance by a local Anaheim dance studio from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and then an energetic set by the band Pop Vision playing pop rock favorites from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. He shared that there will be a variety of food trucks, including Arenita Gourmet Kitchen, Baby’s Burgers, Kona Ice, and Drizzle.

He encouraged the community to celebrate the start of summer at Maxwell Park on June 12th. Council Member Leon stated that earlier this year he was proud to lead his Council colleagues in unanimously reaffirming Anaheim’s Welcoming City status. It was a commitment and a promise that every resident, no matter where they come from, deserves dignity, safety, and respect. He emphasized the importance of knowledge and awareness of rights for immigrants, especially during uncertain times. Council Member Leon stated that under California state law, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics are there for safety, not immigration enforcement. He encouraged members of the community to call for help with confidence. He encouraged the community to stay informed, not just through social media, but through trusted groups like the ACLU of Southern California, CHIRLA, and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. He shared that they have resources in multiple languages to help inform community members of their rights. Council Member Leon asked community members to please speak out peacefully, powerfully, and with purpose if they choose to. He stated that no one should be stressed or afraid when they drop their kids off at school or answer their front door. Council Member Leon stated that this is not just about policy, it is about people, neighbors looking out for each other, and it is about a city that refuses to turn its back on the very people who keep it going. He stated that the community’s strength is in unity, and a commitment to justice and peace. Council Member Leon repeated his comments in Spanish. Council Member Rubalcava highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended. She stated she serves on the North Net Task Force and her alternate is Council Member Maahs. She shared a mural that was recently commissioned at the North Net building to highlight the work that is being done through North Net and the risk that firefighters take. She recognized all the volunteers who help mitigate fire issues in District 6 and throughout the City and noted that many of the volunteers are District 3 residents. Council Member Rubalcava referenced the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax revenue and noted that 5 June 10, 2025 conventions generate revenue for the City’s General Fund because people attending a convention typically stay in Anaheim hotels and pay a 15% occupancy tax. She stated the Democratic Party hosted their 2025 State Convention in Anaheim and it was peaceful. Assemblymember and former Council Member Avelino Valencia, Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, Representative Derek Tran, and Labor Activist Dolores Huerta were in attendance. Council Member Rubalcava thanked Public Works Director Rudy Emami for reallocating funds to trim palm trees in District 3, addressing a long-standing community issue. She noted that it made District 3 residents, including herself extremely happy. Council Member Rubalcava shared that the Boys and Girls Club has been acquired by a collaborative club but is still focused on youth in Anaheim. They are doing really good work and working closely together to integrate into Anaheim elementary schools. She along with Lieutenant Pena and Police Association President Jose Duran attended the Ready Annual Summit to show support because there are a lot of youth in Anaheim who need resources, whether it is gang prevention and intervention or just opportunities to get more engaged at the college bound level. Council Member Rubalcava attended the National Hispanic Medical Association Conference as a guest speaker. She stated it was a good opportunity to speak to medical practitioners who are interested in policy and how it impacts the Latino community. They were able to speak about health and how Hispanics can access it and ensuring that youth who are entering the education system know that there are opportunities within the medical industry. Council Member Rubalcava attended the 30th Annual Anaheim Flag Day Parade and Celebration and stated that Flag Day is a really important time to celebrate the country and flag. She noted that volunteers host the event in the Colony District. Council Member Rubalcava mentioned that the Mayor and all Council Members were at the event, but did not discuss any Council business and there were no Brown Act violations. She stated it was a good opportunity to visit with residents and celebrate the country. Council Member Rubalcava highlighted some of the immigration challenges the community is currently facing. She stated that California is the center for immigration enforcement and there is a month-long emphasis in different states. Council Member Rubalcava shared that she is working with a coalition of policy makers including Congressman Lou Correa, labor leaders, law enforcement, and her Council colleagues to discuss a collaborative approach to keep the community safe. She stated they are encouraging residents, especially the youth in the community, to keep any demonstrations peaceful because nothing will be accomplished if businesses are being destroyed. She encouraged everyone to express their voices in a positive way that creates sustainable change. Council Member Rubalcava shared that what is happening in Los Angeles impacts the Anaheim workforce because there is a significant amount of immigrant workers who work in hotels and other areas in the City, and they need to know their rights. Council Member Rubalcava shared that the coalition is looking into legal defense funds to help ensure immigrant workers' rights are protected and providing a sustainable pathway to citizenship so that families are not separated. Council Member Rubalcava stated that Anaheim was segregated in the 1900s and in 1994 with Proposition 187 and the City will get through this as well, but it must be done peacefully to protect the City’s workforce and community. Council Member Rubalcava requested to adjourn the meeting in memory of Officer Samuel Riveros, who unfortunately passed away last week. He was a Baldwin Park police officer who was killed in the line of duty. She noted that several Anaheim police officers worked with him at Baldwin Park and were friends with him. Council Member Rubalcava stated that when somebody in law enforcement loses their life, it impacts everyone. Mayor Aitken highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended including the Mayors and CEOs for U.S. Housing Investment meeting in Washington, D.C. to advocate for federal funding for affordable housing for working families, seniors, and others. She expressed concern about the potential loss of housing funds and encouraged the public to support housing initiatives. She stated that Anaheim has done so much to get individuals off the street and now families are in danger of losing their housing vouchers. Mayor Aitken encouraged everyone who is concerned about housing in Anaheim, to reach out to federal leaders to share support for all housing initiatives that make a difference in Anaheim. She thanked Senator Adam Schiff, Senator Alex Padilla, Congressman Lou Correa, Congressman Ted Lieu, and Congressman Pete Aguilar for budget and housing initiatives, and for meeting with mayors to discuss streamlined processes for housing. Mayor Aitken thanked the team who organized the Flag Day Parade and Celebration as well as everyone who attended the event in District 3 including the veteran 6 June 10, 2025 community and volunteers. It was a fun family event recognizing the history of the American flag. Mayor Aitken thanked the Disneyland Resort for the invitation to the State of the Resort to learn about exciting projects and their economic impact, not just throughout Anaheim, but throughout the entire region. She stated it was an informative and wonderful evening. Mayor Aitken stated that she is deeply concerned about the recent immigration actions that are going on in the Southern California area. While Anaheim has not seen any significant actions taking place, surrounding cities are seeing a dramatic uptick. She reassured the community that Anaheim remains a Welcoming City that values the contributions of the immigrant community. Mayor Aitken stated that to be an immigrant does not make someone a criminal or an enemy of the State, and it is imperative that all residents in Anaheim know that City staff, the Police Department, Anaheim Fire & Rescue, as well as our City facilities stand ready to provide services regardless of immigration status and if assistance is needed, individuals should not fear reaching out as immigration status will not be asked. Mayor Aitken emphasized the importance of treating each other with kindness and supporting neighbors who may be living in fear. Whether it is going grocery shopping for a neighbor, checking in on neighbors, or dropping off kids at camp or school. She asked the community to stick together in uncertain times and to look out for one another. CITY MANAGER’S UPDATE: City Manager Vanderpool shared that Friday marks the exciting launch of the Summer Nights Under the Stars Series at Pearson Park Amphitheatre for family entertainment every Friday night through July 25th. Friday night kicks off with an astonishing performance by Magician Ian. Visitors can expect a memorable evening with a free face painter for kids and Dragon Dogs food truck onsite to complement concession stand.
