Without objection, Mayor Aitken took the agenda out of order and requested to move forward with the City Manager’s Update.
CITY MANAGER’S UPDATE:
Mayor Aitken thanked the young people advocating for members of the community. She asked City
Manager Vanderpool to outline the Anaheim Contigo program, which includes Know Your Rights pamphlets which are available outside the Council Chamber, libraries, and community centers. Mayor Aitken stated that it is important to acknowledge the validity of the various emotions people are experiencing during difficult times and stresses the importance of taking care of each other. She explained that the program aims to provide true and correct information, including legal aspects like deportation defense and bail funds for those removed from the country. Mayor Aitken stated she heard
there are problems with food, medicine, and kids not going to camps. She requested feedback to how the City could enhance the program and get the information out to the community.
City Manager Vanderpool shared that the Anaheim Contigo program was recently launched on the City’s website and staff will continue to build on it and put more elements of it in place. He stated that there has been federal immigration enforcement activity in Anaheim with impacts on the community. City Manager Vanderpool reminded everyone that the City of Anaheim, including the Police Department and Fire & Rescue, are not involved in any immigration enforcement and do not assist federal agencies in that. He stated that as a City, there are concerns about enforcement activity that destabilizes families,
4 June 17, 2025
neighborhoods, and the economy. City Manager Vanderpool shared that in collaboration with the Anaheim Community Foundation, the Anaheim Contigo program has launched. The program aims to support families, workers, and businesses impacted by current events, including federal immigration
enforcement activities. The Anaheim Community Foundation will oversee emergency assistance grants for groceries, household needs, and utility bills. He noted that case managers at the City’s Family Resource Centers currently have existing trusted relationships with families in the community. In addition, trusted legal services and nonprofits will be identified as resources and sources of charitable giving. Critical public information will be available at anaheim.net/contigo.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS: Council Member Kurtz stated that these are tough times, and neighborhoods in District 4 have been impacted. She stated that in partnership with CHIRLA, they have been hosting neighborhood meetings in District 4 for residents who do not want to leave their neighborhoods to attend a meeting where they do not recognize everyone around them. Council Member Kurtz stated there are no set dates for the pop-up community meetings and she thanked CHIRLA for attending with as little as two days’ notice. CHIRLA informs residents about what they should look for, what they should do, how they should conduct their lives, what documents they need, and telephone numbers to call if somebody comes knocking at their
door. Council Member Kurtz recognized the Rapid Response Network as a valuable resource for verifying sightings of federal agents. Council Member Kurtz highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended including the grand opening of Little Pine Park. The kids who attended the
celebration were able to run around the park and were happy. She stated that the park is half an acre and was designed by the community. Council Member Kurtz shared that she and Council Member Maahs are hosting a Safety for Seniors Informative Community meeting on Tuesday, June 24, 2025 at
11:00 a.m. at the Anaheim United Methodist Church Library located at 1000 S. State College Boulevard. She noted a flyer in Spanish is now available. She stated all seniors are invited to attend the meeting to learn how to protect themselves. Council Member Balius attended the Little Pine Park grand opening and stated that small spaces in Anaheim are a fantastic opportunity for parks. He congratulated Housing and Community Development Deputy Director Sandra Lozeau on her recent award, and he shared that he has known her for a long time and Anaheim is a better place because she works for the City. Council Member Balius reminds residents to stay safe during the Fourth of July holiday and emphasizes the importance of safe and sane fireworks.
Council Member Rubalcava highlighted and shared photographs of events she attended including the peaceful gathering that occurred at La Palma Park. She stated she was there with Council Member Leon, and they were able to meet a lot of residents and engage in the entire process. They were there
from the time it started until it finished, along with Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster, and Congressman Lou Correa who is on the front lines of all the immigration concerns. She thanked all the youth who spoke during public comments on behalf of the Latino community, because in her opinion, it is
racial profiling that has occurred in the community. Council Member Rubalcava stated that she lives near Pearson Park and when the alerts first started coming out on Instagram, she walked over to the park and spoke to someone who had been approached by the federal agents. She clarified that the City does not receive notification when federal agents are going to be in the City, but she was able to speak to someone who verified he was sitting in the park and the agents asked him for his immigration status and
identification. She stated that she made sure to take her license when she went to the park because she was not sure what to expect and as a Mexican American, there is a lot of uncertainty out there. Council Member Rubalcava stated that she and her Council colleague will be sending out information to make sure residents are aware of their rights. She stated that the Anaheim Police Department does not have control over the federal agents who are coming into the City. She commended the Anaheim Police Department for being intentional and thoughtful over the past week, when working in the community and
ensuring that all gatherings are peaceful. Council Member Rubalcava thanked Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster for his communications regarding how to lawfully assemble, gather, protest, rally, and
5 June 17, 2025
what rises to the level of an unlawful assembly which results in the Police Department having to do enforcement to keep the community safe. She stated that everyone wants to ensure that individuals can exercise their First Amendment right, but if streets are blocked and property is damaged, then that would
result in an unlawful assembly and could shut the rally down. She encouraged everyone to continue to be peaceful and stated she is very proud of the way Anaheim has handled the gatherings to keep everyone safe. Council Member Rubalcava thanked Housing and Community Development Director Grace Ruiz-Stepter and Deputy Director Sandra Lozeau for jumping into action to assist resident Yadira Moreno when her husband and father-in-law, the breadwinners of the family, were detained while working in Downey. The City in collaboration with the school district, provided resources to the family within hours so that they could stay current on their rent and their kids could obtain any resources that they might need. She stated she is grateful for all the work being done in the area. Council Member Rubalcava stated that she and her Council colleagues are all aligned on the fact that they care about the community and are upset with the things that are going on in the City and they are collaborating with the Orange County Justice Fund to provide bonds for individuals going through the due process system. Council Member Rubalcava stated that there is an executive order expanding expedited removal to individuals who cannot prove they have resided in this country for at least two years. She stated there is more information on the City’s website. Council Member Rubalcava thanked Chief Communications
Officer Mike Lyster and his team because they are doing an amazing job communicating with residents. She stated that he has been to all the areas where there have been ICE sightings to provide residents with Know Your Rights brochures. Council Member Rubalcava stated that she is grateful that young
people attended the meeting, but she wished they would have reached out so that they could have been provided with the Know Your Rights brochures. She noted that the Police Department and Anaheim Fire & Rescue have been in the community hosting events and providing individuals with information. She emphasized that first responders and public safety officers are here to serve Anaheim, and residents should never hesitate to call 911 or Public Utilities for assistance. Council Member Rubalcava congratulated Anaheim native and first-generation college graduate Valeria Sandoval who earned her MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management last weekend. She shared that Valeria currently serves as her Senior Policy Aide and has a background in public policy and corporate social justice. Council Member Rubalcava stated that Valeria has been instrumental to her team and shared that she previously served as a staffer for Senator Mark Warner and Congressman Lou Correa. Council Member Rubalcava shared that her office held a District 3 community meeting and some of the top issues were
coyotes, fireworks, and immigration concerns. She thanked City staff and residents who attended the meeting to hear information about what is going on in the community. She stated that the community meetings are quarterly and are led by staff.
Council Member Leon made comments in Spanish and then repeated them in English. He thanked the Police Department and communications team for all their work over the last few days and informing the
public, providing clarifications, as well as a safe space for residents and visitors to exercise their First Amendment rights. He thanked everyone who used their voice peacefully and safely to advocate for the community. Council Member Leon stated that he understands what it feels like to worry during uncertain times because he is the son of immigrants. Federal law enforcement is in the City and he understands how their presence is deeply unsettling, especially for those who have experienced trauma or uncertainty tied to immigration. He acknowledged the fear and confusion it has created because it is a reminder that federal agencies can come into any city across the country and limit a city’s power. Council Member Leon reaffirmed Anaheim’s commitment to supporting the entire community through actionable steps, and working with his Council colleagues and city staff. He stated that residents deserve to feel safe, informed, and supported. He reminded everyone that the City’s police officers, firefighters, and paramedics do not collaborate with federal agents for the enforcement of federal immigration policies and
residents can call for assistance with confidence. Council Member Leon highlighted the importance of staying informed and using the Anaheim Contigo program for clear information and resources. He stated that there were thousands of people at La Palma Park collaborating and advocating for the community
and although they do not have all the answers, they were using their voices peacefully and safely.
