then returned the funds to the owner. Both Mayor Tait and Interim Police Chief Quezada

Dr. Rebecca Maloney and Brook Weitzman, Orange County Human Rights Agency, appreciated
the City's support of human rights and looked forward to working collaboratively on any issues
or topics of concern in the future.
ADDITIONS /DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA City Clerk Linda Andal requested Item Nos. 5,
13, and 18 deleted from the agenda advising that staff would return at a future date. With no
objection from council, Mayor Tait indicated Item Nos. 5, 13, and 18 would be removed from the
agenda to be considered at a future date.
PUBLIC COMMENTS (all agenda items):
Cecil Jordan Corcoran explained the process he was undertaking related to the teachings of the
bible.
Daniel DeMeyere addressed the Brookhurst /Katella Street Widening project and its impacts to
his neighborhood identifying specific complaints against the contractor and his concern that the
street could not sustain trucks weighing 60,000 pounds or more. Mayor Tait responded that all
residents should be treated with respect by city contractors, asking the city manager to look into
the issues raised and advise Mr. DeMeyere of the outcome, adding that he might not get the
City Council Minutes of December 10, 2013
Page 3 of 9
answer he sought, but would come away with an understanding of what the project entailed and
its present status.
Kurt Brunner, West Anaheim resident, also raised concerns on the Brookhurst project, adding
that residents were given no notification about the project nor notice of when construction would
commence which was extremely disruptive to the neighborhood. He felt the design was flawed
as it forced residents to travel additional distances for ingress or egress from the neighborhood
and he was especially concerned that emergency vehicles would now take longer to access his
street. He felt the project would harm property values and quality of life and asked the city for
assistance. Mayor Tait remarked the City Manager would contact Mr. Brunner and follow up on
his concerns.
William Fitzgerald objected to the city's support of religious organizations by providing $7,500
for the opening celebration of a church in Anaheim Hills, as well as support for the Muslim EID
festival.
Wally Courtney appreciated the city taking steps to order a professional appraisal for the
Stadium property and for seeking to provide a better understanding of valuations versus
appraisals. He remarked that MAI appraisers would give the city a value for the property with
and without a tenant and those figures could then be used to determine a fair and equitable
lease for Angels Baseball.
James Robert Reade identified alleged drug trafficking gang members and their relatives in
Anaheim, asking that a federal task force be deployed to stop traffickers coming to the U.S.
through Baja, California.
Jay Burress, Anaheim /Orange County Visitors and Convention Bureau, thanked the city for its
vision in creating a tourist destination in Anaheim, adding that last year tourism had been a real
success particularly in Anaheim as well as Orange County. For the Convention Center alone,
more than $20 billion had been generated since it was established in the 1960's. He asked
council to continue to support tourism adding that the American Heart Association, a high -end
convention, was now scheduled to come to Anaheim as a result of that expansion.
Donna Acevedo remarked her neighborhood was targeted for revitalization, asking when the
residents were going to hear about the plans and wondering if the aggressive eviction occurring
there was part of the plan. She also understood that Paul Revere Park was now going to be
built and wondered how the city suddenly had $602,000 to spend when previous remarks
indicated there were no funds for that project. She asked if that park was part of the
revitalization effort for that neighborhood and whether the recent Orange County Weekly article
was correct.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS:
Council Member Murray, addressing Ms. Acevedo's comments, stated that the policy council
adopted to require landlords to rent and maintain healthy and safe environments had nothing to
do with Paul Revere Park and the ordinance itself wouldn't return for a second reading until
January. She asked the city manager to address the questions that were raised and clear up
this misconception.
Marcie Edwards, City Manager, responded that any evictions occurring were the result of issues
between landlord and tenant and nothing to do with the city or with the rental housing quality
City Council Minutes of December 10, 2013

program. Regarding Paul Revere Park, she stated the City received additional funding
earmarked for the park for the purpose of enhancing service to the community. Mayor Tait
suggested that a community meeting to inform the public about the park would be helpful,
asking that it be scheduled. Council Member Murray added she would like to see information
on the rental quality housing program and the formal ordinance that would be considered in
early 2014 be shared with the community as well.
Council Member Kring corrected earlier statements made by William Fitzgerald. The $7,500
from the city was not for the opening of the Influence Church, but instead was for the tree
lighting ceremony at the east -end of the City. Now, she remarked there were three tree lighting
ceremonies, one in Twila Reid Park, one in the downtown area on Center Street, and the new
one in the Hill area, supported by the City on a 5 -0 vote. The EID ceremony, referred to by Mr.
Fitzgerald, was to support a festival after Ramadan, also approved by a 5 -0 vote.
Council Member Murray informed the city on action taken on December 9 by Orange County
Water District (OCWD) on a 6 to 4 vote to lease land for a private power generating facility at
Ball Road Basin. She pointed out this area was near one of Anaheim's oldest communities and
close to its commercial district on land currently zoned as open space. She thanked the
Anaheim residents who attended the late meeting and the Orange County state legislative
delegation who signed a joint letter opposing the action being considered. She pointed out it
was made clear that Anaheim was not opposed to power generation and in fact offered two
other locations zoned industrial and permitted for this purpose by the California Energy
Commission and AQMD. She added that even Southern California Edison, as the entity that
would be receiving proposals from around the region for this proposed facility, had not classified
this land as "high value" or even "medium value" for the purpose of backfilling the power that
was lost with the San Onofre closing. She then requested the city manager to bring forward a
resolution at the next meeting stating council's position that if a Special District such as OCWD
sought to lease, sell or develop property within Anaheim city limits, they should be subject to the
City's planning process to insure orderly and consistent development with the surrounding
community and uses. She requested the resolution also express the policy of the city council
that representatives appointed by this council who might sit on this Special District body,
communicate the positions expressed in the resolution to the Special District for broader actions
the Board might consider in the future. Council Member Murray added that other cities might
take this step as well because of the unprecedented action taken by OCWD that no feasibility or
environmental impact studies were performed, and not one public hearing involving the
residents of Anaheim or Orange, who would be impacted by their action, was a part of this
decision. She ended her comments by thanking those members of the OWCD board who voted
against the power plant site and looked forward to working with the agency to continue what had
always been a collaborative working relationship. Ms. Murray also requested a closed session
item be scheduled at the next meeting as well to provide all legal options available to the city to
protect this land going forward.
Related to Angels Baseball, Council Member Murray stated there was a great deal of
misinformation occurring which had an impact on the negotiation process and on the Anaheim
community. She was concerned that the council and the public had not yet been provided
details about what the Angels intend to offer as benefits to the city which could be shared with
the community at large. She stated the MOU's were drafted in a transparent manner to begin
good faith negotiations and it was important that the gesture be reciprocated with a progress
report on where the city was in the process and assurances that the final agreement would be
mutually beneficial. She indicated she would not support any final agreement that was not in
City Council Minutes of December 10, 2013
Page 5 of 9
the best interests of Anaheim residents and taxpayers and expected to see a definitive progress
report that clearly outlined the financial benefit to the city. She also asked that staff develop a
series of public workshops to update the community on the negotiations and to solicit additional
ideas from interested persons.
City Manager Marcie Edwards announced that there was no longer a need to carry forward an
urgency ordinance relating to hookah bars, as requested by Mayor Pro Tem Eastman at a
previous council meeting.

execute the Escrow Agreement pertaining to contract retentions.
Terry Lowe, Director of Community Services, remarked this item was to award a bid for
construction of the Paul Revere Park and was the culmination of long -term planning efforts to
City Council Minutes of December 10, 2013
Page 8 of 9
create a park in this neighborhood. He added that Paul Revere Park was only the working title
at this point chosen because the school was directly adjacent to the park, but ultimately, the
park's name would be up to the city council.
Mr. Lowe reported this property was a half -acre site at Guinida Lane and Iris Street purchased
through the use of Community Development Block Grant funds with construction costs funded
by a state grant. A series of design meetings were held in which the public participated in a
process to select the type of amenities to be placed in the park and included a volleyball court,
exercise stations, gazebos and turf space; amenities the public requested and that would add
value to the neighborhood as a community gathering place. He emphasized that all of the parks
opened in the last ten years were flourishing and he believed it was because of the personal
involvement of neighbors in designing their local parks and seeing the end result of their efforts.
Public art was also an important component of all the facilities and in this particular case, the
mosaic blocks depicting Paul Revere was designed by the children of this community in
conjunction with an artist and would be featured at the entrance to the park.
Mr. Lowe reiterated this item was to award the contract for construction of the park and would
be overseen by the Public Works Department and recommended council approve the award.
Mayor Pro Tern Eastman was familiar with the history of this park and how long it had been in
the process and desired by the community and moved to approve Item No. 3, seconded by
Council Member Murray. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members:
Brandman, Eastman, Kring and Murray.) Noes — 0. Motion Carried.
REPORT ON CLOSED SESSION ACTIONS: Kristin Pelletier, Senior Assistant City Attorney,
reported Council approved a settlement agreement for item No. 4, Wilson v. City of Anaheim by
unanimous vote. She noted this case addressed the transfer of funds from the water utility to
the city's general fund and the agreement was a public record and would be made available
upon request. In substance, she remarked, the city agreed to reimburse the water funds for a
portion of the transferred funds, the amount of which would be dependent on whether the voters
approve a fund transfer measure in 2014 and in addition, future fund transfers would continue if
approved by the voters in 2014.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS:
Mayor Pro Tern Eastman expressed her appreciation of city employees who generously
donated their vacation hours to Sgt. Joe Tocco, allowing him to be home with his wife who was
battling cancer. She read an email sent by Sgt. Tocco expressing his gratitude for the
generosity he received from his City family. She spoke of her attendance at The Rock to
discuss homeless issues with other faith -based organizations and how they could augment the
City's efforts. She also attended the APWA luncheon in which Anaheim Public Works received
three awards, the Anaheim Canyon Pedestrian Improvement Project, the Anaheim Convention
Center Grand Plaza and the Public Works Working for You, a communication piece.
Council Member Kring spoke of the We Give Thanks event at the Honda Center that fed about
18,000 people. She thanked the hundreds of volunteers who participated in this event with a
special thanks to Frank Garcia and his family who had been hosting Thanksgiving for 27 years.
She announced the three tree lighting ceremonies that took place in the city, and the Shop with
a Cop program in which 50 underserved children in Anaheim were paired with a police officer
and a $100 target gift card and searched for gifts for their families. She expressed her deep
appreciation for the police volunteers who participated in this program. Lastly, she urged
City Council Minutes of December 10, 2013
Page 9 of 9
residents to volunteer their time to wrap Christmas gifts for the Boys and Girls Club on
December 23r
Council Member Murray also addressed the need for volunteers for the Boys and Girls Club gift
wrap event and discussed the USA Volleyball - Starlings Program in which 80 junior high girls
came out to the American Sportscenter to participate in the first Starlings program. Ms. Murray
also requested donations for the Public Libra 's subscription program and announced the Cat
and the Hat Holiday Special on December 14 . Other upcoming events included The Rock's
Christmas Musical, the Founder's Park Victorian Christmas, and the Orange County Choral
Society's Holiday Carol on December 15
In response to Council Member Murray's previous communication, City Manager Marcie
Edwards remarked that the December 17 council agenda would be finalized prior to the
next negotiation meeting with the Angels and she did not believe a point of clarification
would be reached before that time, asking Council Member Murray if there could be
some flexibility to the timing of the progress report. Council Member Murray understood,
asking that the update be provided as soon as possible to the community.
Council Member Brandman spoke of Human Right's Day, of protecting and promoting the rights
for all people as a universal mandate and especially significant as the memorial for Nelson
Mandela coincided with this date. He thanked Council Member Murray for bringing forward the
item regarding OCWD's decision on the Ball Road Basin Power Plant project and for her
proposal to address that action, adding that he had also been on record as opposing the lease.
He also thanked the board members who voted against the lease and the concerned residents,
city leaders and city staff for their leadership and support of this effort. He also requested a
proclamation be done honoring Superintendent Elizabeth Novak for her service as
superintendent of the AUHSD, remarking she believed in the highest educational standards for
all and was an exceptional educational administrator.
Mayor Tait extended his thanks to staff and volunteers for the various tree lighting ceremonies
and for Frank and Sally Feldhaus for getting this program started. He added one glitch occurred
with getting the tree decorated in the downtown area and thanks to Public Works, Public Utilities
and Fire Department staff, along with the use of a bucket truck, the tree was decorated in the
nick of time. He also recognized Frank Garcia for his We Give Thanks event which now fed
thousands of people on Thanksgiving Day, a remarkable feat for one man and his family to
accomplish over the last 27 years.
ADJOURNMENT: With no other business to conduct, Mayor Tait adjourned the December 10,
2013 council meeting at 6:31 P.M.
