Mayor Pringle corrected his statement, explaining the Local Agency Formation Commission initiated the process and that the City of Anaheim was not holding a city special election, rather only those residents of approximately 210 registered voters who reside within the County Island were voting on whether they wished to reside in the City. Congressman Gary Miller's district representative introduced herself to Council and offered the congressman's services to the City. Ram Kakkar, a Cerritos resident recommended representatives from Hindu and Sikh religions be allowed to participate in the invocation given at the beginning of Council meetings.

Council Meeting Minutes of August 24, 2010 Page 3 of 11 James Robert Reade, resident, provided details on his claim settlement whose purpose, he stated, was to bring transparency to the claims process. Allen De la Fasse addressed Item No. 7, stating he was the second low contract bidder for the Twila Reid project and had protested certain actions of the first low bidder. His bid was protested as well because he did not have a certified roofer included in the bid and Mr. De la Fasse did not feel this was a reason for disqualification. Mayor Pringle responded that Council had heard the comments and would ask staff for clarification at the time Item No. 7 was being considered. Alma Ramirez, resident, saluted the nation's fallen soldiers and grieving families.

Appoint a committee to be chaired by Councilmember Hernandez to explore the parameters and feasibility of a "Hall of Heroes" recognizing Anaheim residents and employees who have lost their lives while providing public service to our City. D116 Greg Garcia, Deputy City Manager /Administration, announced this item was a recommendation for Council to create a committee to explore the idea of honoring Anaheim's fallen heroes and to have Council Member Hernandez chair that committee. He indicated that if Council approved Council Meeting Minutes of August 24, 2010 Page 6 of 11 D175 this request, the process would begin and a recommendation would be brought to Council at a later date for consideration. Council Member Hernandez remarked that as a 38 year member of the Anaheim Fire Department, he had seen sacrifices made by those who served in public safety and he felt it a more lasting recognition honoring those civilians who lost their lives serving our Country and community through a Hall of Heroes to memorialize their service indefinitely. If Council concurred, a committee would explore the feasibility of establishing a Hall of Heroes. Mayor Pringle moved to approve Item No. 5, seconded by Council Member Hernandez. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Mayor Pringle and Council Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried. 7. Reject all bids for the Twila Reid Restroom and Multipurpose Room project. Mayor Pringle requested information on the bid process and the rationale for rejecting bids for this project. Natalie Meeks, Public Works Director, announced the project was for enhancements to the Twila Reid multipurpose room and improvements for ADA compliance. She explained when bids were opened, the City received a protest from the 4th bidder claiming the first three bidders did not certify a roof installer in their bids. This turned out to be true, she remarked, for the second three bidders but not true for the low bidder. The second bidder then claimed the low bidder did not meet the 30 percent work required to be done by the bidder under the contract, and upon review by staff, the first low bidder was then disqualified. She added the next two bidders did not have the certification requirements and the City was then down to the 4 th low bidder and it was felt in the best interests of the City to reject all bids, clarify the bid documents and further emphasize the requirement on the roofing system and rebid the project. Mayor Pringle remarked the second low bidder had stated earlier he felt there was no requirement to have a certified roof installer at the time bids were opened and Ms. Meeks responded staff felt that was sufficiently clear as other bidders out of the 13 bids received had provided that information. Mayor Pringle remarked that there were many bidders vying for contracts during these challenging economic times and many protests now occurred as part of the process. He indicated in this case there were 13 bidders and the lowest nine were within ten percent of the price valuation of the overall project costs which meant competition was strong. He concurred in rejecting these bids and clarifying the bid specifications and recommended moving forward as quickly as possible to rebid the project. Council Member Hernandez moved to approve Item No. 7 and reject all bids for the Twila Reid project, seconded by Council Member Galloway. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Mayor Pringle and Council Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried. 18. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Economic Assistance Agreement with GardenWalk Hotel I, LLC for the development of two high qGR- 1491.II1.1 quality hotels on 5.16 acres at the Anaheim GardenWalk project. Mayor Pringle moved to approve Item No. 18, seconded by Council Member Hernandez. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 3: Mayor Pringle and Council Members Hernandez and Sidhu. Noes — 1: Council Member Galloway. Abstention — 1: Council Member Kring. Motion Carried. Council Meeting Minutes of August 24, 2010 Page 7 of 11 25. ORDINANCE NO. 6176 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM repealing Sections 1.04.960, 1.04.970, 1.04.980 and 1.04.990 of Chapter M142 1.04 of Title 1 relating to the Senior Citizen Commission and amending Section 13.04.010 and Section 13.04.030 of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to the membership and duties of the Parks and Recreation Commission (Introduced at Council meeting of July 27, 2010, Item No. 31). City Clerk Linda Andal reported that at Council's direction, staff had been asked to explore options to combine certain city commissions. Ordinance No. 6176 had been introduced at the last meeting and with its adoption, the Senior Citizen Commission would be resolved and those duties transferred over to the Parks and Recreation Commission. She added the ordinance would require one member of the senior commission to be placed in the vacant seat for the Parks and Recreation Commission with the remaining senior commission members as subcommittee members. Council Member Galloway remarked that although she was supportive of the consolidation of the two commissions, she wanted to recognize those senior citizens who had dedicated their time and effort serving on the senior committee and did not want their service to go unnoticed; Council Member Hernandez concurred. Council Member Galloway moved to adopt Ordinance No. 6276 OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM repealing Sections 1.04.960, 1.04.970, 1.04.980 and 1.04.990 of Chapter 1.04 of Title 1 relating to the Senior Citizen Commission and amending Section 13.04.010 and Section 13.04.030 of Chapter 13.04 of title 13 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to the membership and duties of the Parks and Recreation Commission, seconded by Council Member Kring.

ORDINANCE NO. 6177 (ADOPTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF M142 ANAHEIM repealing Section 7.24.030 of Chapter 7.24 of Title 7 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to putting handbills in or upon vehicles (Introduced at Council meeting of July 27, 2010, Item No. 32). Aaron Harp, Senior Assistant City Attorney, reported that in the case of Kline vs. City of San Clemente, the U.S. 9th circuit court of appeals invalidated an ordinance prohibiting the placement of handbills on parked vehicles based on first amendment grounds. As the City of Anaheim had a similar ordinance to the one that was invalidated in San Clemente, staff requested Council take action to repeal the ordinance given the 9th Circuit's ruling. Council Member Galloway moved to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 6177 OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM repealing Section 7.24.030 of Chapter 7.24 of Title 7 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to putting handbills in or upon vehicles, seconded by Council Member Sidhu. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Mayor Pringle and Council Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried. Council Meeting Minutes of August 24, 2010 Page 8 of 11 29.

A copy of the full text of the proposed Ordinance is available for review in the Office of the City Clerk. Kristine Ridge, Acting Finance Director, explained Item No. 29 would provide for immediate adoption of an enabling ordinance that would set the tax rate for the current fiscal year to pay the debt service on general obligation bonds established in 1986. She indicated staff had returned each year to set the tax levy based on property assessed value and the debt service for storm drains. This action, she added, was required by the Charter. To answer Mayor Pringle's question, the tax increase was approximately 36 cents more on a $400,000 home. Council Member Galloway moved to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 6180 OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM fixing and levying a property tax on the full cash value of all property within the corporate limits of the City of Anaheim for FY 2010/11 and declaring the urgency and that this ordinance shall take immediate effect, seconded by Council Member Hernandez. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Mayor Pringle and Council Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 32. This is a public hearing to consider approval of the Police Department's Expenditure D160 Plan for the fiscal year 2010/11 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund ( SLESF) award from the State budget, in the approximate amount of $424,064. Police Chief John Welter reported the Anaheim Police Department had been the recipient of SLESF funds since 1996 to support front line police services. Over the years the grants had been used to fund civilian staff positions and would continue to do so for six professional civilian positions in this fiscal year. He stated the anticipated award was approximately $424,064 as adopted in the current budget and would be monitored to determine if any changes occurred necessitating a budget revision. He added should the grant be less than anticipated, the department was prepared to fund the loss through the general fund, through unfilled position vacancies anticipated for this current year. Mayor Pringle opened public hearing and receiving no comments, closed the public hearing. Council Member Kring moved to approve Item No. 32, seconded by Council Member Sidhu. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Mayor Pringle and Council Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried. 33. This is a public hearing to consider the introduction of an ordinance eliminating the time limit on establishment of loans, advances and indebtedness with respect to the Plaza Project as a constituent subarea of the Anaheim Merged Redevelopment Project. ORDINANCE NO. 6182 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM eliminating the time limit on establishment of loans, advances and indebtedness with respect to the Plaza Project as a constituent subarea of the Anaheim Merged Project; and making other findings in connection therewith. Council Meeting Minutes of August 24, 2010 Page 9 of 11 Elisa Stipkovich, Community Development Executive Director, stated staff was requesting Council approve the elimination of time in which the Plaza Project area could incur debt. She explained during the life of a redevelopment project area there were several deadlines to meet, one of which was the time in which debt could be incurred. The Plaza Project area deadline was June, 2010 and by approving this ordinance, Council would allow any debt to be extended to 2046 which gives the City more authority to leverage redevelopment funds for the future. The object was to give each project area within the Anaheim Merged Project Area the maximum ability to fund improvements. Mayor Pringle opened the public hearing for comments and receiving none, closed the public hearing. Council Member Galloway moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6182 OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM eliminating the time limit on establishment of loans, advances and indebtedness with respect to the Plaza Project as a constituent subarea of the Anaheim Merged Project and making other findings, seconded by Council Member Hernandez. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: Mayor Pringle and Council Members; Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion Carried. 34.
