ABSENT: Council Member Vanderbilt [Per the Teleconference Notice (above) Council Member Vanderbilt joined the meeting at 5:16 P.M.] STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Paul Emery, Acting City Attorney Kristin Pelletier and City Clerk Linda Andal. Debbie Moreno, Finance Director, highlighted some of the programs that ensured quality of life for Anaheim residents and the Capital Improvement Plan that also included projects that both ensured quality of life and providing the necessities for the community. BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN — This plan would come before Council in 2017, with the goal of revitalizing the west Anaheim corridor by encouraging new development and economic investment. RESORT DEVELOPMENT - Ms. Moreno highlighted the following: • The Resort continued to thrive and expected activities included development of the four - diamond JW Marriott hotel. • Disneyland had recently broken ground on their Star Wars Land expansion and with the popularity of that franchise, staff looked forward to the visitors it would bring to the Resort and the resulting revenues. • Center Street, essential to the expanding Center City area, was the central promenade for community and events, home to City Hall, Carnegie Library, the Muzeo and the Colony District. The Packing House and the Packard Building were restored to its original 1920's glory and was now home to Anaheim Brewery and Umami Burger. She added, Lab Holdings would be unveiling Make, a new project housing a brewery, winery and other creative uses. City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 2 of 27 YOUTH PROGRAMS/SERVICES • Programs and services in support of Anaheim's youth continued to be a priority of the city, with the expansion of the mobile after school program from once a week in ten neighborhoods to twice a week, a service anticipated to reach more than 6,000 youths annually. The mobile after school program, Fun on Wheels, provided recreational activities, fitness fun and homework assistance and STARS (Study -time, Arts, Recreation & Sports) was a free drop-in program that offered children academic support, art enrichment, sports and recreational opportunities year round at eight parks, with two additional sites coming soon. CONVENTION CENTER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN: Tom Morton, Director of Convention, Sports & Entertainment Department, updated Council on the Convention Center VII Expansion stating at a cost of $190 million, the project would provide flex space expansion to allow the Center to grow with large annual events, attract meeting intensive conventions that could not be currently accommodated, and give the city the ability to host concurrent conventions. When completed, this 900,000 square foot expansion would contain 200,000 square feet of leasable flex space, space that could be used for exhibits, meeting rooms or large ballrooms, the replacement of 1,350 parking spaces, a 10,000 square foot Katella Terrace, a 12,000 square foot kitchen capable of servicing a banquet for over 6,000 patrons, a new Grand Lobby, a climate controlled bridge connection to the existing facility and an impressive new presence on Katella Avenue. Construction on this project started in April of 2015, with Phase I to be completed in August 2016, with a 600 stall parking tower, a loading dock area and a bridge connection to the existing facilities. Phase Il, slated to be completed by September 15` of next year would have the entire facility ready to be occupied beginning with Best Buy's Corporate Sales Meetings at the end of September. To date, he stated, there were 91 definite bookings and 105 tentative bookings in the new space; with those definite bookings including the American Heart Association, Keller Williams, the Oncology Nursing Society, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the American Association of Clinical Chemistry. Additionally, he pointed out, Visit Anaheim had commitments from the two largest annual conventions, NAMM and Natural Products, through 2023 and 2022 respectively. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENTS: Terry Lowe, Community Services Director, reported on the following capital improvement projects for the Community Services Department: • In partnership with the MWD of Southern California, Anaheim Public Utilities offered a number of rebate customers to assist customers with reducing their water usage. Through this program, Anaheim Hills Golf Course removed 1.2 million square feet or 29 acres of turf from nonessential play areas and roughly one fourth of the turf at Anaheim Hills Golf Course was replaced with California friendly landscape which would result in water savings of 35 million gallons per year. This $2.7 million rebate was fully funded for all project related expenses and the turf removal process was completed at the end of December 2015. • The Pelanconi Park project involved the restoration of a stream that flowed through the center of the park to better contain and reduce the flow rate of future storm water runoff and paralleling this effort, he remarked, would be the removal of non-native invasive vegetation in the drainage area to assist future habitat restoration. Mr. Lowe reported the city received a state habitat conservation fund grant for the restoration of the native planting. City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 3 of 27 • Olive Hills Dog Park was 1.2 acres within the existing Olive Hills Park and included prefabricated restrooms, an expanded parking lot, and large and small dog enclosures with agility equipment, decomposed granite, halfway synthetic turf, native plant materials and a low water irrigation system. Dedication of this project, he remarked, was scheduled for August 6, 2016. • Anaheim Coves would be extended north from Lincoln Avenue to Frontera Street to expand the city's natural transportation and recreational resources for this part of Anaheim. Mr. Lowe added that this project was identified as a key opportunity in the Outdoor Connectivity and required the approval of the Orange County Water District, the Orange County Flood Control District and Southern California Edison. He added, it included 11 acres of native landscape and an additional mile of Class I bike path with a soft decomposed parallel granite trail. A children's nature garden and demonstration area, interpretive signage and amenities such as drinking fountains, benches, trash cans and a dog way station were included as well. He stated the city received two grants for the design and implementation of this project, $832,000 from the Active Transportation Program through CALTRANS for the bike path, and $902,000 from the Urban Green for Sustainable Communities Grant Program through the California Natural Resources Agency for the installation of native plants and interpretive signage. He added this segment would provide a connection to Anaheim Coves and the Santa Ana Regional Trail and would also expand community access from an area previously closed to the public and scheduled for completion in the spring of 2018. • Edison Park improvements included the extension of the lighted walking path around the perimeter of the park, the installation of additional outdoor exercise equipment, an improved volleyball court, and additions to the playgrounds. The Department obtained a $200,000 grant from the Community Action Partnership of OC for these improvements and in addition, they were a priority in what is known as the HEAL Zone, a community collaboration led by the Anaheim Family YMCA directing a multi-year effort to promote wellness, strengthen families, and improve the quality of life of residents in this zone. The project is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2016. • Partnering with KaBOOM, the Disney Resort and the Anaheim Family YMCA created a new playground at Lincoln Park. The Disney Resort was the funding partner responsible for paying the cost of materials and the YMCA was the community partner who helped to organize the labor to install the equipment. On build day, he noted, hundreds of volunteers worked together to assemble and install the play equipment and various other park improvements in just six hours. He added the city had partnered with the same organization to complete similar improvements at six other parks throughout the city. • Mr. Lowe remarked Coral Tree Park was a public park built by a developer in the Platinum Triangle, opened in the fall of 2015, and included a play area, BBQ facilities, open turf space and landscaping, and was the second developer built -park in this area with three more currently being designed. Ponderosa Park Improvements: Mr. Lowe remarked that community members and city staff engaged in an intense outreach process to design park improvements at this location. As a result, the Ponderosa Park Family Resource Center and park upgrades included construction of a new 22,000 square foot community building, new restrooms, and various park improvements on four acres of the existing park at the corner of South Haster and Orangewood Avenue. The new building would include office space, flexible classrooms, a gymnasium, dance room, center programmable court yard, dedicated space for programs City Council Minutes of lune 21, 2016 Page 4 of 27 and activity rooms dedicated to youth programming. Park improvements included replacing the community garden, public restroom and playground, and the addition of a water splash pad, exercise stations and a shaded picnic area. The skate park would be dedicated and the ground breaking for the family resource center would be scheduled concurrently this summer. • At the request of community neighbors, Little People's Park received a major overhaul that included a new gazebo, basketball courts, lighting, open turf area, landscaping and a perimeter fence. Many of the improvements were historically themed including the gazebo, pavement and perimeter fencing, and historic period street light poles were integrated with new energy efficient LED fixtures. This park was scheduled to be rededicated on July 9`h. • To repair and reconfigure a previously fire damaged building at Manzanita Park and to serve as the new Boys and Girls Club facility that was now relocated from their Broadway location, Mr. Lowe indicated Manzanita Park improvements resulted in a complete building remodel with a 780 square foot addition, new electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, and new concrete hardscape. Construction was completed and a grand opening event was scheduled for July 9th • The city received a grant for Sage Park from the Housing Related Parks Program to replace the restroom and playground and create a new picnic area. These improvements were completed in July of 2015. • Founder's Park would receive a trellis shade structure between the existing carriage house and restroom facility. The trellis would augment the park's venue space which had been in great demand from the community for weddings and other special events. Other park improvements included seismic retrofit of the Mother Colony House, and the project would be completed in the winter of 2016/17. • Circle Park was the latest addition to the Anaheim park system, located in West Anaheim and created from the request of the surrounding community to convert an under-utilized landscaped median into a recreational gathering space. It was designed by the neighbors and featured a play area, BBQ facilities, drought tolerant landscaping and other amenities. Many community members joined Council and staff to dedicate this park on April 11th. • Both Euclid and Sunkist branch libraries had been closed for major renovations since the beginning of the year and were the final two facilities in the system to undergo major facelifts to make better use of the public space for current and future needs. Both projects were in the final stages of construction with grand opening dates in the fall and in the meantime, Mr. Lowe explained, the bookmobile had been offering limited service at these sites during the closures. • Palm Lane Park would receive a street style skate area of approximately 4,000 square feet, identified as a high priority for area youths last year. Improvements were made possible through a $150,000 donation from the Disney Resort and would be completed this fall. • Stoddard Park received a grant for improvements from the Housing Related Parks Program to replace the restroom, expand the playground and create a shaded seating area. These improvements were substantially completed in the spring of 2016 with the seating area scheduled for completion this summer. • The Brookhurst Community Center would have a new formal reception area and remodeling to the existing patio and completion of these improvements were anticipated for the spring of next year. City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 5 of 27 • Lastly, like Palm Lane Park, Mr. Lowe remarked Schweitzer Park would receive a street style skate area of approximately 4,000 square feet, also made possible through a $150,000 donation from the Disney Resort and was scheduled for completion this fall. PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN: Rudy Emami, Acting Public Works Director, reported on his department's recently completed capital improvement projects and those scheduled for the next fiscal year. • Sidewalk Improvements — to improve the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists, various sidewalk improvements were performed including repair and gap closure projects. Sidewalk repairs were recently completed for the east/west arterials, from Euclid to West city limits at a cost of $575,000 with funding made available through a partnership with Risk Management to reduce liability costs associated with trip and fall claims. Next year, sidewalk repairs would be implemented for the north/south arterials within the same project limits. In addition, several sidewalk gap closure projects were undertaken to provide separation of pedestrians and bicyclists from vehicular traffic, connectivity for students to nearby schools, and providing walkable surfaces and a cleaner look to Anaheim's streets. Upcoming projects included Cerritos Avenue, east of Euclid, South Street west of East Street, Citron from Sycamore to La Palma, and West Street from Pearl to North Street. • Street Roadway Improvement projects consisted of pavement rehabilitation, street widenings, landscape improvements, and railroad grade separation projects. City streets were evaluated bi-annually to determine which roads needed to be rehabilitated to extend pavement life, restore structural and service integrity and improve driving comfort and safety for motorists. Recently completed projects included Placentia Avenue from State College to the 91 Freeway and Meats Avenue from Nohl Ranch Road to south city limits. Finishing up construction this year was Broadway from Anaheim to Harbor, La Palma from Potomac to Weir Canyon, and Lincoln from Brookhurst to Euclid. In addition to these rehabilitation projects, Mr. Emami indicated the department was scheduled to complete final design and start construction on several arterial intersection widening projects in the upcoming year. These widening projects were at Ball Road/Sunkist Intersection, State College/La Palma Intersection, Anaheim Boulevard/Ball Road, and Brookhurst Street from La Palma to the 91 freeway. The street widening improvements were needed to alleviate congestion and meet the General Plan Circulation Element and Master Plan of Arterial Highways and with the improvements, additional roadway capacity would be gained to improve and enhance roadway operations, reduce vehicular travel time and assist with reduced fuel consumption as a result of less vehicles idling in traffic. In addition, he noted, on street bicycle lanes and new landscaped raised medians would be provided within the project limits to enhance traffic safety. Water quality treatment features incorporated into the Brookhurst project would also benefit water resources and add a beautiful park like setting to this corridor that would foster pride in this neighborhood. • Landscape Improvements adjacent to and within roadway network — Mr. Emami remarked that one of the highlights for this year was the conversion of median turf to drought tolerant plant materials. The city secured rebates from MWD to offset most of the cost of performance work and replaced about 9 acres or 7 football fields of median turf with low water use plants and upgraded irrigation systems resulting in less water intrusion onto pavement and reducing water consumption for landscaping. He noted that Santa Ana Canyon Road was representative of the improvements made on several roadways throughout the city. City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 6 of 27 • Grade Separation Projects — In partnership with OCTA, the department undertook various projects to separate vehicular traffic from at grade railroad crossings. To improve motorists and pedestrian safety and improve emergency response time and eliminate traffic delays, various rail grade separations were recently completed including the Orangethorpe crossing at Chapman, the Tustin Road Overcrossing at Orangethorpe, and the Kraemer undercrossing at Crowther. Upcoming for next year was the completion of Lakeview crossing at Orangethorpe. With the completion of projects within these four categories, Mr. Emami pointed out that improvements to arterial street networks were key to better accommodate the ever increasing demand on city roadways. • Aging infrastructure — Using a combination of bond money and gas tax dollars, various neighborhoods were scheduled for improvement this year and would include resurfacing roadway asphalt, upgrading access ramps, removing and replacing damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter, driveway approaches, and trimming existing trees and planting new trees in a reforestation effort. The 11 neighborhoods scheduled for improvements in the upcoming fiscal year were located citywide. • Partnering with Fire & Rescue — In the design and construction of Fire Station No. 5 on La Palma near Sunkist, Mr. Emami stated this fire station would be procured using the design/build method and was anticipated to be awarded by September with a completion date in the spring of 2018. Staff was also evaluating the feasibility of retrofitting an existing city owned building for the new Fire Station No. 12 further east on La Palma. • This upcoming year he noted, Public Works would be constructing improvements on Santa Ana Street to include street scape and sidewalk on the Northside of Santa Ana between Olive and Claudina consistent with the Center City Guide for Development. The improvement would provide a pedestrian link between Colony Park neighborhood and the Packing District, enhance traffic calming and provide on street parking. Dukku Lee, Public Utilities General Manager, first highlighted customer service enhancements the department would soon be implementing. To provide utility customers with greater payment flexibility, a new payment kiosk would be available at Anaheim West Tower, allowing customers to make payments during non -business hours and if successful, additional kiosks would be placed at other city facilities. In answer to Mayor Tait's question, the kiosk would have the ability to take cash for payment as well as credit card and checks. In addition, customers would have the option of receiving their bill monthly instead of bi-monthly. Those utility bills included electric, water, sewer and paramedic service charges and the ability to pay monthly, he pointed out, could help some residents to better manage their budgets. WATER UTILITY PROJECTS: A new pipeline was installed recently on Lincoln Avenue between Plaza and State College to replace a 60 year old pipe with only half its capacity. Mr. Lee explained, each year water mains were replaced based on factors such as age, condition and number of past breaks and was important because regular replacement maintenance improved fire flows and system reliability throughout Anaheim thus keeping its water system ranked in the top 25 percent of national water providers for reliability. The use of recycled water was also an important source that conserved the city's potable water supplies and although the drought had subsided, there were indications this upcoming winter could be extremely dry, so the ability to tap into recycled water would be beneficial. He noted the downtown recycled water project would use recycled water from the plant next to city hall to irrigate Pearson City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 7 of 27 Park and surrounding median islands with a small storage tank and pump to be installed underground at the parks to preserve park space for the residents. Turf removal projects throughout Anaheim contributed to water conservation efforts and by partnering with MWD, staff helped city departments, residential and commercial customers receive over $3.6 million in turf removal rebates resulting in nearly 300 completed projects. Altogether, turf removal projects along with many other rebates and conservation programs resulted in the Anaheim community meeting the state mandated 20 percent goal which saved over 3.3 billion gallons of water. The La Palma complex was an important water storage and pumping facility that served much of central and west Anaheim, and Mr. Dukku stated the existing 4 million gallon reservoir would be rehabilitated to current seismic requirements and pumps would be replaced with new and more reliable units. He added that local storage and pumping allowed the Utility to serve residents and businesses consistently even when water demands fluctuated throughout the day. ELECTRIC UTILITY PROJECTS: The Bowerman Power project was completed this year, a project that used landfill gas as its fuel source to generate nearly 20 megawatts of renewable energy which was enough to power 23,000 homes per year. Mr. Lee reported that Public Utilities was in the process of divesting its coal resources and the ability to secure power from this renewable project would help Anaheim meet recently enacted legislation, SB 350, requiring 50 percent renewables by the year 2030. The installation of advanced automation equipment was also completed this fiscal year in part due to a $5.4 million grant from the Department of Energy Smart Grid Investment Grant, a total of over 2,000 automated devices were installed allowing the department to remotely control intelligent grade equipment and recognize power outages and restore services faster. All of these actions, he stated, would help Anaheim's electric systems sustain its ranking in the top 25 percent of public power agencies nationwide for reliability. Undergrounding projects were completed along West Street and Westmont Drive in Central Anaheim and along Dale Avenue in west Anaheim improving electric service reliability and beautifying the streets. Two additional projects were under construction, one on Mira Loma between the 57 freeway and Miller Street and the other on Lincoln from the 57 Freeway to Rio Vista and on Rio Vista from Lincoln up to the 91 Freeway. The Orangewood project scheduled for construction early next year was being coordinated with the new community center and the Ponderosa neighborhood. To extend the benefits of solar power to the local community, Mr. Lee remarked the Department was in preliminary discussions with school districts about a new program to construct solar facilities at selected schools in Anaheim. The program was intended to provide faculty and students with shade in the form of carports or lunch shelters. Schools would be compensated per lease agreements for the space to place the structures and students would be able to access data as part of their math and science curriculum. Public Utilities would own and operate these facilities and the power generated from it would not only help Anaheim meet its renewable energy goals, it would also further the city's progress in meeting the sustainability goals identified in Anaheim's award winning greenhouse gas reduction plan approved by council last year. Electric substations helped to distribute energy across the entire city and Anaheim has 13 that were closely monitored. A new substation was planned to be constructed near the 5 Freeway and Katella Avenue due to the increased demands from the Platinum Triangle and City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 8 of 27 surrounding developments. The Department would also offload existing substations and circuits providing central redundancy that made the system more resilient when large scale emergency events occurred. LED street lights were being installed throughout the city to provide increased visibility as well as consistent lighting patterns. LEDs were now installed as standard practice on undergrounding projects. Neighborhood projects were prioritized based on the requests received from the community and if there was a high pedestrian activity in that area. Recent projects completed included 13 street lights near Brookhurst Park at the request of the residents, and 10 lights on Anaheim Boulevard between Broadway and Water Street near the Packing House. Over the next fiscal year, he commented, the Department anticipated installing or replacing approximately 1,000 street lights with new LED fixtures. FY 2016/17 BUDGET RECAP: Ms. Moreno briefly recapped the proposed 2016/17 budget: it totaled $1.7 billion; emphasized the Council's priority of public safety and neighborhoods; maintained service levels including the enhancements adopted over the last several years; reflected an increase of four percent from FY 2015/16 adopted budget, with the largest portion of the budget comprised of Enterprise Funds at nearly 50 percent ( Water, Electric and Sanitation Utilities, Golf Courses, Convention, Sports and Entertainment Venues and ARTIC). GENERAL FUND (GF) REVIEW: • The city's GF revenues totaled $300.3 million and the proposed expenditures totaled $299.6 million; • Recurring revenues were greater than recurring expenditures and the budget was structurally balanced in the five year plan; • Based on the Five Year plan, staff was able to recommend $7.3 million for public safety, street improvements and park and neighborhood enhancements of a one-time nature as a result of revenue exceeding performance in the current year. This is in addition to the service enhancements added over the last several years and commitments made for ten new police officers fulfilling the third year of the council's approved 40 -in -4 Initiative. Continuation of the successful Community Care Response Unit , a full year of operating cost for the Mira Loma Family Resource Center and staffing to make school facilities available for community use. • For Public Safety, one time funding was proposed for the replacement of the backbone of the countywide 800 MegaHertz radio system, the first phase having been replaced and the second planned for next year. • Additional supplemental enhancement opportunities for Fire & Rescue included purchases of new equipment for new fire vehicles, replacing the First -In alerting system in 8 fire stations, increased funding for the Fire Assessment Center for promotional exams, signal preemption projects and fire clearance funding. • One time projects for Neighborhoods included street improvements that would address aging infrastructure and long overdue repairs to streets, signs, sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Additional supplemental funding would allow for the upgrade of library software, online tutoring at libraries, athletic field renovations, and the replacement of playground equipment at three Anaheim parks. She ended the budget presentation remarking that later in the evening, Council would consider the proposed FY 2016/17 Budget for formal adoption, including taking action on the City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 9 of 27 appropriations limit for the city and its five community facilities districts as well as the City's fee resolutions for the coming fiscal year. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring inquired if there had been any surveys to determine how many bike lanes were needed in the city. Mr. Emami responded that when street traffic counts were taken, staff included bike usage to identify needs, but generally, if the street was included in the Bicycle Master Plan (which the department was now in the process of updating), then they were installed. In addition, he commented, the state or county might mandate bike lanes and points were also given on funding applications if included. Mayor Pro Tem Kring responded that in her neighborhood a traffic lane was lost due to the installation of a bike lane and that she rarely saw bicyclists in them. Council Member Murray appreciated staff's thoughtful application of expenditures citywide pointing out the map with an overlay of projects showed the residents where those funds were being used. She added the city had accomplished an extraordinary amount of good coming out of the recession, balancing the budget, restoring cash reserves, making headway on pension liabilities and a significant reinvestment in public safety, plus reinvesting in parks, libraries and community centers. On another note, she inquired if property for the Oasis Community Center had been found. Mr. Lowe responded that monies were set aside in this next capital budget to explore a location, there was a site that could be developed and staff could look at conceptual planning and public input process for this next year. Additionally, Council Member Murray wanted to see park maintenance brought back in-house in the future, remarking that it had been a budgetary decision to outsource that maintenance and she believed the community would be better served by the city's own personnel. Mayor Pro Tem Kring inquired if plans were being considered for a dog park at Maxwell Park with Mr. Lowe responding that would be part of this coming fiscal year planning process and that funds had been set aside. Council Member Brandman celebrated Anaheim's successful recovery from the recession and thanked all staff for their hard work and effort.

INVOCATION: Reverend Nathan Gnaniah, East West Community Church FLAG SALUTE: Council Member Kris Murray PRESENTATION: Sister City Outbound Student Exchange Presentation Mayor Tait offered a historical perspective on the Sister City Student exchange, remarking that one exchange had been planned just before Mito, Japan suffered a devastating earthquake and while communications between the sister cities continued, the student exchange program was suspended. Jim Dinwiddie, Sister City Commission, remarked that over the last seven years, over 100 students and delegates visited Anaheim and he was grateful to have been a part of the program. He then recognized the six 2016 Anaheim exchange students that would soon be visiting Mito, Japan. ACCEPTANCE OF OTHER RECOGNITIONS (To be presented at a later date): Proclaiming July 4, 2016, as Independence Day ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO AGENDA: None PUBLIC COMMENTS: (all agenda items, except public hearings): Prior to receipt of public comments, a brief decorum statement was provided by City Clerk, Linda Andal. Letitia Mata, Orange County Human Relations Council, provided an update to the City Council. Ms. Mata reported that in the past year, the HR Council mediated 409 cases in Anaheim, as well as 111 family mediations. Collaborating with the Anaheim Police Department, the organization documented one hate crime and hate incidents, facilitated 8 police community reconciliation cases, and over 15,000 Anaheim youths had participated in the Bridges Violence Prevention Program to create safe and inclusive school climates. Other community outreach, neighborhood improvement projects and parent education services were detailed as well. Eleanor Heng, Orange County Human Relations, recognized the city of Anaheim for its outstanding commitment to encouraging understanding among residents and eliminating prejudice and discrimination. Cecil Jordan Corken, Outreach Homeless Ministries, discussed his involvement with Outreach Ministries in Fullerton inviting the community to participate. Dr. Linda Wagner remarked that along with adding "Elementary" to the Anaheim School District title, other changes were taking place as well. Each school had created an academy for a City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 11 of 27 specific field of study, such as a visual performing arts, health and fitness, or STEM academy and the district was now committed to a full-time music teacher rollout at every school and partnering with the community to bring this about. A creativity council, a three-way partnership with the city, school, and a number of local supporters in the music and entertainment industry as well as Yamaha and Disney, would ensure that every child had a musical instrument. The District was also getting ready to launch another million acts of kindness, partnering with the County of Orange and their billion acts of kindness campaign. She added that Palm Lane School was now a gold ribbon school and honored for its parent participation and there were five dual immersion programs underway. Robert Banuelos, representing Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, submitted a letter of support for Agenda Item 25. Mark Daniels discussed weapons of war in the hands of private citizens and the fact that the Senate could not pass four bills that addressed this problem. Jeanine Robbins spoke out against short term rentals (STRs) and the negative impacts against residential neighborhoods as well as the devaluating of property taxes, one of Anaheim's stable sources of revenue. She was opposed to SOAR's propaganda mailings urging more public subsidy of the Resort District. She also supported Agenda Item No. 25. Mike Robbins reported that in New York, STRs were completely prohibited and fined owners $7,500 for posting on Airbnb or Home Away websites. He was opposed to allowing STRs in residential zones and supported higher penalties for violators. Daniel Robbins remarked he had spent the past several weeks researching the hospitality industry and concluded that subsidies for hotel development were not only pointless but may be reckless. Occupancy rates were at all-time highs, average daily rates were at all-time highs and revenue per room was also at an all-time high with the annual demand growth for the hotel industry outpacing supply growth by 1.7 percent. In addition, he stated SDI (Sustainable Investment Development) and Foreign Investment Development were predicted to increase along with international travel, and in his opinion, proposing subsidies for an industry in which there was no evidence that assistance was needed for success was inappropriate. R. Joshua Collins, homeless advocate, was opposed to Agenda Item No. 25, offering his opinion on the LGBT community. Lou Noble, homeless advocate, talked about the need for safe zones for Anaheim's homeless population, adding that the program could be done on a trial basis. Robert Williams addressed Item Nos. 6 and 7, stating leasing a community care response vehicle from Care Ambulance was a conflict of interest because CARE would be participating in the Request for Proposal and this lease meant they already had a connection to the city. In addition, he stated the $150/month lease did not cover the gas for a day in a Type 3 ambulance. Regarding Item No. 7, the speaker indicated that on page 2 of the agreement it stated the city would be responsible for the licensing, however in Item 7, it stated they wanted to extend the agreement for two months for an additional $40,000. He added this was a conflict of interest, asking Council to vote no on both items. Zoe spoke in support of Item No. 25, explaining what it meant for her and the LGBT community to have the Pride Flag flown at a civic center in recognition that city leaders respected this segment of society. City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 12 of 27 William Fitzgerald, HOME, made a number of allegations against the City Council urging the incumbents not be re-elected in November. Mayor Tait and Mayor Pro Tem Kring responded as a point of personal privilege. Emily Fuentes introduced herself to the City Council, remarking she was interested in participating on the Sister City Commission, traveled globally as a communications director for a nonprofit organization and looked forward to serving the city. Bob Donelson, Sherwood Village, encouraged the public to turn out for the June 29th public hearing on STRs, urging a complete ban of STRs, both current and future, and that it take effect 30 days after the ordinance passed. In addition, he suggested penalties for those existing STRs violating rules be at least in line with fireworks violations, $1,000 for the first offence, increasing to $3,000 for the 3rd offence rather than the existing $250 penalty which was not a deterrent to violators. John Dunton thanked the Police Department for taking care of a gang problem in the park used by the Boys and Girls Club, adding that staff went out of their way to help out the community. Michael Kehoe stated Item No. 18 dealt with a lawsuit filed with Intercontinental Hotel Groups and Hospitality Properties Trust relating to the Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites off Manchester Avenue. He emphasized it should be a public hearing rather than a consent calendar action without any public deliberation and that the staff report indicated that Council was only required to rescind Conditional Use Permit 5573 issued in 2012. In his opinion, the city was obligated to implement the plan it promised in 1999 and if the city did not comply, they would not be complying with the ruling of the court. Karen Ridley, resident/teacher, supported Agenda Item No. 25, remarking that Anaheim must be a leader in the fight for equality and against hateful rhetoric and discrimination and come together in support of diversity- D.R. Heyward, resident, addressed his comments to Agenda Item No. 25, explaining his personal challenges growing up as a member of the LGBT community and what it meant to him to have the city support the Gay Pride flag during Gay Pride month. Sean Thomas, OC Human Relations Board of Directors, remarked that homophobia was alive and well in Orange County and the LGBT people faced those challenges every day. He supported Agenda Item No. 25 as a way to move forward and eventually end homophobia. Martin Lopez, representing Unite Here Local 11, offered support to Agenda Item No. 25. As a resident, he looked forward to the June 29th public hearing regarding STRs, remarking business owners had been given ample time and notice and it was time for Council to stand in support of its residents. Linda Lehnkering, member of Unitarian Universalist Church, spoke to Item No. 25, remarking she now understood the importance the gesture of flying the Pride flag was after attending a series of workshops designed to help her church become a welcoming congregation for the LGBT community. She supported the city's effort to do the same. Dr. Patricia Adelekan, Cultural and Heritage Commissioner, spoke in support of Item No. 25 on the agenda, emphasizing that other lifestyles and cultures may not be understood, but people must embrace and respect all. City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 13 of 27 David Bartash remarked he was the parent of three students in the GOALS Academy, thanking the Anaheim Elementary School District for approving the Charter and providing a life -changing experience for him as well as 200 other families. He thanked city staff for fast -tracking a request for parents who were concerned about families and teachers going home late during evenings with limited lighting in the area. Michael Sanchez, resident, remarked he was a board member of the Orange County Alzheimer Association, inviting the community to attend the Alzheimer's Walk fund raiser occurring in Anaheim on November 12th at Angel Stadium. He added there was no fee to register, however each participant was invited to fund -raise on their own, with all funds raised remaining locally in Orange County. Rashad AI-Dabbagh, Arab American Civic Council, spoke on behalf of many Arab Americans in this city, for approval of Agenda Item No. 25, and in support of the LGBT community and opposition to hate and violence. Nancy West, resident, supported flying the Pride flag and showing the Anaheim community that hatred was not okay and people needed to be accepted for who they are. Marisol Ramirez, speaking for herself and as an OCCORD representative, urged Council to approve Item No. 25 and take a stance to love and support all people. Laura Kantor, LGBT Center of Orange County, addressed the tragedy of Orlando, the loss of 49 LGBT people and the need to speak out and challenge homophobia whenever it occurred. She supported raising the Pride flag and to change policy and encourage robust education in all communities and for cities and counties to provide specific and intentional support and to defy anything less than full acceptance of the LGBT community. Vern Nelson, resident, spoke in support of Item 25. Mr. Letourneau spoke of the tragedy in Orlando, remarking that the LGBT community was the most persecuted minority and flying the Pride flag was an important issue that showed others homophobia would not be tolerated. He urged Council to approve Item No. 25. AJ Blackwood, remarked the Progressive Interfaith Alliance represented houses of worship that were open to and affirming of the LGBT community in Orange County, offering their support to the raising of the Pride flag over the city (Item No. 25). He urged approval of this resolution that would affect every aspect of American society and was needed to take a stand against homophobia. Jose Moreno, resident, supported raising of the Pride flag because the symbolism of such an act was important to reconcile the sins of the past. Referencing the luxury hotel subsidies that would soon be coming before Council, he asked that an amendment to that subsidy policy be enacted, to state those who received subsidies could not participate in local election campaigns. Billy Joe Wright, resident/teacher, LGBT member, remarked raising the Pride flag was more than symbolism, it meant individuals could begin to feel safe, respected and not alone. Cynthia Ward supported Agenda Item 25, adding that it wasn't necessary to have a discussion on this issue that invited opportunities for divisive rhetoric but should just be implemented as a matter of course. 8105 City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 14 of 27 An unidentified speaker addressed the increasing water and refuse collection rates, and spoke of increased gang activity and crime occurring in his neighborhood.

D114 23. Approve minutes of City Council meetings of May 10, 2016 and May 17, 2016. END OF CONSENT CALENDAR: The off consent items were considered at 7:28 P.M. 5. Approve a Canine Transfer Release and Agreement to Indemnify, Defend and Hold Harmless with Officer Robert Lopez and Officer Brett Klevos authorizing the transfer of AGR -10151 ownership of retiring Police Service Dog "Ares' (Officer Lopez) and Police Service Dog AGR -10152 "Gunther" (Officer Klevos), respectively (see below for discussion. Item taken out of order, following Item No. 11). 6. Approve an agreement with CARE Ambulance Service, Inc. to lease a response vehicle AGR -8563.A for up to 18 -months at a cost of $150 per month for the Community Care Response Unit program. 7. Approve the First Amendment to Agreement with CARE Ambulance Service, Inc - AGR -8563.1 extending the term of the agreement by sixty (60) days and increasing the not to exceed amount from $210,000 to $250,000 to complete the pilot Community Care Response Unit program and bridge from pilot to permanent status in fiscal year 2016/17. Item Nos. 6 and 7 were related and considered together. Fire Chief Randy Bruegman reported Item No. 6 requested approval of an agreement between the city and CARE Ambulance to lease a response vehicle for the continuation of the city's Community Care Response Unit City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 18 of 27 (which, he pointed out, was included in the FY 2016/17 proposed budget). The cost for that unit was $150 per month, it could be leased for up to 18 months and the city would assume the insurance, license the vehicle, and maintain it during the time it was used. The Chief remarked it was his hope that by the next fiscal year, the city would identify the type of vehicle most appropriate to continue this program and at that time he would make a supplemental request to purchase a vehicle for long term use. Mayor Tait requested staff address the potential conflict of interest comment made earlier during oral communications with Chief Bruegman responding with the following: the city had a contract with CARE ambulance as a partner and collaborator during the the pilot program as of May of last year, had compensated them for the use of their vehicle and for hiring the nurse practitioner under the pilot program, (funded primarily through grant funding through Kaiser Permanente). He did not believe it was a conflict of interest with the existing transportation company or the contract approved by Council last year. Mayor Tait concurred, remarking he believed the conflict mentioned was related to the future RFP process and not being fair to other bidders. The chief emphasized the RFP process would be fair, and staff was working on it right now and Mobile Integrated Health Care would be included as a component of that with all bidders being required to address the components outlined in the RFP. MOTION: Mayor Tait then moved to approve Item Nos. 6 and 7, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Kring. DISCUSSION: Council Member Vanderbilt wondered if the $150/month leasing cost was appropriate given the type of equipment and the type of vehicle. Chief Bruegman remarked this was a neo -natal unit being taken out of service, over 10 years old, and could not be used as a response unit to transport patients any longer. He explained CARE was going to rotate this unit, take the box off and put a new chassis on it, and when he discussed the option of leasing a vehicle from them for a period of up to 18 months, CARE responded they would not be able to lease a vehicle for a $1/year because they had to depreciate the value of the vehicle. He further noted, the value of this vehicle was the box itself, not the unit, and their counsel stated $150 a month was an appropriate charge to depreciate that box until they retrieved and reused it in their fleet. VOICE ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Brandman, Kring, Murray and Vanderbilt). Motion to Approve Item Nos. 6 and 7 carried. 11. Adopt a seven-year Transportation Capital Improvement Program to fulfill part of the 0175 Renewed Measure M eligibility requirements to enable receipt of local formula based funding. Mayor Tait declared a potential conflict on this item, and excused himself from the dais, turning the gavel over to Mayor Pro Tem Kring at 7:12 P.M. Council Member Vanderbilt requested a staff report on this item. Rudy Emami, Acting Public Works Director, stated Renewed Measure M was passed by Orange County voters in November 2006 and Orange County Transit Authority required the annual adoption of 7 Year Transportation Capital Improvement Program (CIP) by local agencies applying for Renewed Measure M funding. He noted the plan before Council was consistent with the city's Five Year CIP and included all foreseeable transportation improvement projects for which the city of Anaheim would be the lead agency; i.e., projects that included the City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 19 of 27 rehabilitation of arterial streets, roadway widening projects such as Brookhurst Street between I- 5 and 1-91, intersection widening projects such as State College/La Palma Avenue and traffic synchronization projects. Due to teleconferencing connecting issues, Council Member Vanderbilt lost connection at 7:14 P.M. and was reconnected at 7:22 P.M. The City Clerk confirmed that he had heard the staff report. Mr. Vanderbilt then inquired if the CIP included the street car project, with City Manager Emery stating the monies allocated for Measure M within the ARTIC budget was for debt service to pay off the land acquisition for properties. MOTION: Council Member Murray then moved to approve Agenda Item No. 11, seconded by Council Member Brandman. VOICE ROLL CALL: AYES — 4: (Mayor Pro Tem Kring and Council Members: Brandman, Murray and Vanderbilt). NOES — 0. ABSTENTION — 1: Mayor Tait. Motion Carried. Mayor Tait returned to the dais at 7.22 P.M., asking that Item No. 5, that had already been approved as part of the consent calendar be reconsidered as Officer Lopez and Officer Wevos were present along with their service K -9's. 5. Approve a Canine Transfer Release and Agreement to Indemnify, Defend and Hold AGR -10151 Harmless with Officer Robert Lopez and Officer Brett Klevos authorizing the transfer of AGR -10152 ownership of retiring Police Service Dog "Ares' (Officer Lopez) and Police Service Dog "Gunther' (Officer Klevos), respectively. This item had been approved with the adoption of the consent calendar; however, Mayor Tait requested a brief staff report for the benefit of the community. Police Chief Quezada thanked Council for supporting the transfer of ownership of two K-9 dogs to their handlers, Officer Lopez and Officer Klevos. Both Ares and Gunther had served the Anaheim community well in excess of six years, and were now eligible to retire. Mayor Tait remarked when the elementary schools reached their goal of 50,000 acts of kindness, Ares and Gunther were the stars of the assembly that celebrated that event, thanking the officers for attending. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring moved to approve the item, seconded by Council Member Murray. VOICE ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Brandman, Kring, Murray and Vanderbilt). NOES — 0. Motion Carried. 18. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-098 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM setting aside Resolution 2012-055, which approved Conditional Use 0220 Permit No. 2011-05573 and Variance No. 2011-04870 (DEV2011-00092) (Gene Autry 0250 Way (West) / 1-5 HOV Interchange Project; City of Anaheim v. HPT IHG-2 Properties Trust, et al., Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2009-00125412). Mayor Tait remarked an earlier public speaker, an attorney representing HPT, commented on this matter, and asked the city attorney whether there were any concerns as to the legality of this action being considered tonight. Kristin Pelletier, Acting City Attorney, remarked she had reviewed the letter submitted by the attorney, and insofar as she was able to review the case cited as well as other materials, this item was not a public hearing to consider a vested right, it was a ministerial act for compliance with a court order issued on a writ, which was attached as Exhibit A to Item No. 18, which required the setting aside of a resolution. She added there had been a legal dispute among the parties as to what the meaning of some underlying trial court City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 20 of 27 and appellate court opinions were, and that was a matter that would be addressed in the legal proceedings and not a matter for the Council. MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2016-098 OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM setting aside Resolution 2012-055, which approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2011-05573 and Variance No. 2011-04870 (DEV2011-00092) (Gene Autry Way West)/1-5 HOV Interchange Project; City of Anaheim v. HPT (IHG-2 Properties Trust, et al., Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2009-00125412, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Kring. VOICE ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Brandman, Kring, Murray and Vanderbilt). NOES -0. Motion Carried. 24. Receive and file a report from Community Services Department regarding restroom D150 upgrades at City parks. Terry Lowe, Community Services Director, introduced Larry Pasco, Deputy Community Services Director, to present the item. Mr. Pasco reported the Community Services Department was responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of 57 parks, including mini -parks of up to 3 acres in size, neighborhood parks of 5-13 acres, and community parks as large as 27 acres. He indicated Anaheim also had several special use parks that offered a range of activities from tennis courts and skate parks to hiking trails and natural preserves. Within that park system, he reported 36 parks were equipped with restroom buildings and that some of the larger community parks, contained two restroom facilities. He added that it was standard practice not to install restrooms at most mini -parks and neighborhood park locations because those were considered walk -to designations and not the type of recreational facility where users spent an extended amount of time there. He also added that many residents who lived immediately adjacent to smaller parks had not been supportive of restroom buildings because of crime or other concerns. The age of park restrooms varied, with some of the older park facilities constructed in the 1960's and many in the 1970's, with most outdated in terms of design, lighting and fixtures. Mr. Pasco pointed out there were also a number of parks with restrooms that had been recently renovated or newly constructed and the department maintained a working inventory list of all, ranking the facilities in priority order for needed replacements or upgrades. He added the list was also used to prioritize projects and match them with available funding. He stated staff also worked closely with neighboring residents to identify parks in need of facility upgrades with special focus on restrooms and currently, there were 42 restroom buildings identified and staff estimated that about 20 of them should be renovated and brought up to current standards. Mr. Pasco explained that while restroom cleanliness was a priority of the department, privacy, design and lightings could not be updated unless a capital project for complete renovation was undertaken. He noted that within the past eight years, six restrooms had been replaced, three were constructed as part of new projects and two or more were included for replacement in the current capital improvement plan, with most of the improvements to be funded through competitive state grants or using park developer fees. He displayed before and after photos of completed projects, emphasizing that most older park restrooms did not reflect the realities of heavy use and increased vandalism. He added the restrooms also lacked space to comply with ADA minimum space requirements and because of that fact, major or often complete restroom renovations were required to comply with all current building codes. New restroom buildings were designed and equipped with doors on individual stalls and with much larger stalls built to City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 21 of 27 accommodate wheelchairs. He explained that over the years, park design professionals and vendors who provided the elements that made up park restroom buildings tried to provide restroom design with fixtures to withstand very heavy use and for this reason, the industry was ever changing to provide the most up-to-date products and amenities possible. Currently, he stated, new park restrooms were equipped with standard fixtures including all stainless steel fixtures, epoxy covered floors and skylights to provide additional natural light, in addition to energy efficient LED lighting. He explained all lighting fixtures were surface mounted and designed to be durable and designed for complete ADA access. He showed a photo of a new restroom with state-of-the-art fixtures that would be open at the new Olive Hills Dog Park in a couple of months. Mr. Pasco remarked that restroom conditions worsened through improper use and vandalism that frequently occurred, and while they were cleaned daily by part-time maintenance staff prior to being opened each morning, they were sometimes found in an unacceptable condition later in the day. He stated that larger parks with sports fields required additional cleaning particularly on weekends and during the summer. He reported the second cleaning was generally scheduled during the afternoon hours and staff worked closely with the graffiti abatement contractor to quickly remove graffiti. The cost of restroom upgrades varied and could be affected by scope and footprint. Because of these variations, Mr. Pasco remarked, the average cost to upgrade a park restroom building was approximately $500,000 which included design, permitting and construction, typically separate women's and men's spaces with two stalls with doors, a sink, a hand dryer in each and an electrical room and small space storage. He noted that at the May 17' Council meeting, specific concerns were voiced regarding the condition of the restroom buildings at Boysen Park with both restrooms in need of total renovation. He indicated the buildings were targeted for replacement during the master plan for redesign of Boysen Park which would happen within the next few years. He stated the master plan would likely require relocation of one or both of the restrooms due to the anticipated reconfiguration of the park. To address the concerns recently expressed, he reported Community Services staff and Public Works staff met to discuss interim measures to upgrade the restrooms; such as new paint, fixtures and improved lighting which would be done in the near future as an interim solution. He noted the department continued to pursue all available grant opportunities to fund restroom improvements adding that grants similar to the Housing and Related Parks Program were limited or often funded new construction rather than replacement or upgrades to park amenities. With that program terminating in 2017 and dwindling developer impact fees, other sources of funding such as Park Bonds could help and staff would continue to work with the Finance Department to identify any available funding that could be used. Mayor Tait responded that budgetary restrictions were making it difficult to upgrade the city's restroom facilities. Community Services Director Terry Lowe replied that each year the department chipped away at these projects, and for 2016/17, Pioneer Park and Ponderosa would undergo a complete renovation, adding staff closely guarded park -in -lieu fees to spread them out as much as possible for amenities and improvements but combined with dwindling grants, the department was not able to undertake them at one time. Mayor Tait reported this had come to the city's attention when Katella High School students spoke on the Tennis Center Project and existing park restrooms was a common theme discussed. He suggested starting with the maintenance function adding that the public deserved cleaner restrooms. City Manager City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 22 of 27 Mr. Emery responded that staff recognized the need to look at maintenance standards with respect to frequency and would prioritize and provide information to the Council regarding any enhancements that might be needed. Mayor Tait appreciated that response, remarking paint and steam cleaning and potentially more frequent cleanings might help. Council Member Murray reiterated that she would like to see park maintenance brought back in- house, after having outsourcing it during the recession, and that cleanliness was essential to families and residents who used the parks. Mayor Tait remarked that staff might return with a plan for Council in the future. MOTION: Mayor Tait moved to receive and file the restroom upgrade report and have staff return with a maintenance plan for city park restrooms, seconded by Council Member Murray. VOICE ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Brandman, Kring, Murray and Vanderbilt). NOES — 0. Motion Carried. D116 25. Authorize the annual display of the Pride flag at City Hall during the month of June to commemorate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month. Council Member Brandman thanked those who came out to support this request remarking there were many people watching this meeting from young to old who looked forward to Anaheim flying the Pride flag on Gay Pride month. He read a personal email from Laura Kantor who addressed the events that occurred in Orlando, Florida and her response to take a stronger stand for the LGBT community. She looked forward to a positive change coming from this action and spoke to the need for city officials and community and faith leaders to push for acceptance on behalf of the LGBT community. MOTION: Council Member Brandman offered a motion to fly the Pride flag at City Hall from May 22nd to June 30"' next to the City Seal flag, seconded by Council Member Murray remarking it was important for cities to stand up for its citizens and this symbolic act transcended policies and politics and individual differences. DISCUSSION: Mayor Tait remarked this was an interesting and tough issue and the concept of setting precedent with this action concerned him, however, it was important to make everyone in the city feel welcomed and accepted and there was a need for solidarity with Orlando and the LGBT community. Mayor Pro Tem Kring concurred; stating a number of speakers of different races and religions spoke in favor of the Pride flag, and were moved to do so by the loss of 49 lives in Orlando and she would support it as well. Council Member Murray suggested that a follow-up protocol could be considered to address the precedent setting aspect of this action. The City Clerk indicated Council Member Vanderbilt had discontinued the teleconference at 7:57 P.M. to attend formation (military reserve). ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 4: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Brandman, Kring, and Murray.) NOES — 0. ABSENCE — 1: Council Member Vanderbilt. Motion Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: 26. Continued public hearing on the fiscal year 2016/17 RESOLUTION budget, budget D106 appropriations limits for the City and its Community Facilities Districts, and changes in various fee schedules. City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 23 of 27 At 8:07 P.M., Debbie Moreno, Finance Director, recapped the proposed FY 2016/17 budget, offering the following facts: • The budget totaled $1.7 billion and emphasized public safety, neighborhoods and maintained service levels including the enhancements adopted over the last several years. • It was a 4 percent increase from the current adopted budget with the largest portion being the Enterprise Funds at nearly 50 percent. • The City's general fund revenues totaled $300.3 million with proposed expenditures at $299.6 million, with recurring revenues greater that recurring expenditures. • The budget was balanced in its five year plan. • $7.3 million in one-time expenditures was recommended for public safety, street improvements and park/neighborhood enhancements (this was in addition to service enhancements added over the last fiscal years and the commitment made for 10 new police officers, continuation of the successful Community Care Response Unit program, a full year of operating costs for the Mira Loma Family Resource Center and staffing to make school facilities available for community use. • For public safety, one time funding was proposed for the replacement of the backbone of the countywide 800 MegaHertz radio system for Phase 2. Additional supplemental enhancement opportunities for Fire & Rescue included the following: equipment for new fire vehicles, replacement of the First -In alerting system at eight fire stations, increased funding for the fire assessment center for promotional exams, signal preemption projects, and fire clearance funding. • One time projects in the neighborhoods included street improvement to address aging infrastructure and long overdue repairs to streets, signs, sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Additionally, she noted, supplemental funding would allow for the upgrade of the library software, online tutoring at libraries, athletic field renovations and the replacement of playground equipment at three Anaheim parks and the net change to the city budget would be an increase of $4.3 million in general fund expenditures and an increase revenue transfer of $3 million from the General Fund to the 800 MegaHertz radio system, for a total of $7.3 million. Ms. Moreno indicated that along with the budget, Council would also consider the annual appropriations limits for FY 2016/17 for the city and each of its five communities facilities district, per the State Constitution. Those limits were based on the appropriations limit from the prior year adjusted for growth factors and city population and California per capita personal income growth. She noted debt service was paid in full for the Anaheim Hills Community Facilities District, Sycamore Canyon, the Highlands and the Summit, and no further assessments would be levied. However, she added, as staff facilitated the closure of the district the city had an obligation to establish an appropriations limit as long as the districts legally existed. Council was also requested to approve proposed fee changes this year including fees for Convention, Sports & Entertainment, Community Services, and Public Works. Those fees were as follows: • Increased rates for personnel, technical services and facility equipment were proposed by the Convention, Sports & Entertainment Department as part of an effort to develop fair and equitable charges consistent with comparable facilities. • The Community Services Department was proposing a new fee for teen day camp for Oak Canyon Nature Center to cover the cost of staffing and supplies. City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 24 of 27 • Public Works proposed an increase for solid waste collection fees to cover increased operational costs and contractual payments to the city's waste hauler. An increase was also being proposed for wastewater and storm drain system maintenance and operating costs. In closing, Ms. Moreno remarked the recommendation for adopting the budget included amendments for one-time service enhancements as presented, community facilities districts, and the city's fee change resolutions. Mayor Tait opened the public hearing for comments. William Fitzgerald objected to utility rate increases and suggesting the city would save money and receive better service by contracting with the county for police and fire services. Cynthia Ward, resident, stated the city had invested over and over again in the Resort District trying to get a good return on investment, yet the city was only four percent ahead since 1996, after spending $1.5 billion in the Resort over the last twenty years. She added it was time to look at neighborhoods, pointing out no funds were identified in the proposed budget that actually funded park restroom repairs, one of tonight's discussion topics. She added Anaheim had a $300 million general fund that appeared healthy, until the $90 million in restricted funds earmarked for Resort improvements were removed; at that point Anaheim's General Fund dropped below that of Santa Ana. She added that last year the $20 million that was invested in neighborhoods was actually borrowed money, additional bonds that would end up costing more in the long run. She emphasized the city should be focusing on property taxes, property values, and quality of life issues. She also questioned whether the city had agreements in place from the larger trade shows to commit to Anaheim once the Convention Center was expanded. With no other comments offered, the public hearing was closed. Mayor Pro Tem Kring requested staff address Ms. Ward's comments about NAMM and Natural Products. Tom Morton responded that there were contracts with NAMM through 2018 and with Natural Products through 2017. Visit Anaheim also had letters of agreement with both, one through 2023 (NAMM) and the other through 2022. Council Member Murray remarked the city's budget had recovered from the recession faster than others because of the strength of its economy. This budget was balanced and the city steadily restored public safety and neighborhood improvements were citywide and principally in areas with the most need. The next year would focus on parks, libraries, library services, programs for youths, support for schools and needed infrastructure, sewer and utility improvements. She added making Anaheim recession proof was also a priority and staff would continue to look for further economic policies for future discussion. In addition, Anaheim was restoring its cash reserves and closing the gap on pension liabilities with no other cities of Anaheim's size showing the same level of economic strength. She thanked staff for this team effort and looked forward to approving the budget. Council Member Murray also requested staff continue to identify and move forward with property for the Oasis Community Center to serve Anaheim's immigrant refugee population and also to look at ways to bring park maintenance back in house for future budget cycles. Mayor Tait remarked that at a minimum, he wanted to ensure park restrooms were clean and safe and whether or not it was an in-house crew or contractor doing the work, he would like that to be discussed going forward. He also indicated that because of the salary cut for his City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 25 of 27 assistant, he was left without administrative help in June, asking that the salary cut be restored. Council Member Murray remarked she would include in her motion to approve the budget with a one month augmentation to the end of this fiscal year for Mayor Tait's assistant and that a policy be brought back to look at Council personnel going forward. After some discussion on the request, City Manager, Mr. Emery confirmed the Mayor's staff person would be able to work 30 hours per week until the end of the fiscal year, June 30th, and that the City Council staffing budget would return with the addition of two district council member's appointment. Mayor Tait added that he was very concerned about three proposed hotel subsidies coming before Council in July, and while it had no impact on this budget, it would impact the budget in the future and he believed those subsidies should have greater public scrutiny before coming to the Council for a vote at the next meeting. MOTION: Council Member Murray moved to approve the fiscal year 2016/17 budget, the appropriations limits for the city and its community facilities districts, changes in various fee schedules, service enhancements as presented, and reinstatement of the Mayor's Chief of Staff through the current fiscal year at the same compensation rate and hours, as well as directing staff to analyze all City Council aide positions and return with a report for FY 16/17 budget readjustment, as necessary, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Kring.

This is a public hearing to consider a resolution vacating a portion of excess street right of way adjacent to 2848-2908 East South Street and 2900 East Lincoln Avenue. Pilo RESOLUTION NO. 2016-122 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE P124 CITY OF ANAHEIM vacating a portion of excess street right of way adjacent to 2848- 2908 East South Street and 2900 East Lincoln Avenue (Abandonment No. ABA2016- 00337). Approve a Quitclaim Deed with Anaheim 20 Group, LLC for property adjacent to 2848- 2908 East South Street and 2900 East Lincoln Avenue. At 8:48 P.M., this public hearing was considered. Rudy Emami, Acting Director of Public Works reported this abandonment was requested by the applicant and owners in order to clear title to a single family development known as Lake House in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map 17819. The portion of South Street under consideration for abandonment was considered excess street right-of-way as it terminated near the westerly boundary of the Santa Ana River. There was no existing or prospective river crossing at this location and the majority of the proposed abandonment area would be dedicated back to the city for park purposes while a small portion would be incorporated into Lot 13 as per the tentative tract map. If the excess right-of-way was abandoned, the easterly terminus of South Street would be reconfigured by the developer to allow vehicular access to the proposed development, emergency vehicular access to the adjacent apartment development at 2900 E. Lincoln Avenue and pedestrian and bicycle City Council Minutes of June 21, 2016 Page 27 of 27 access to the river trail and future park area. He noted an easement would be reserved for Southern California Gas Company as requested by them. Based on the foregoing, the right-of- way under consideration was unnecessary for present or prospective public street use per Section 8324B of the Streets and Highway Code. The value of the abandoned area to be retained within Lot 13 is nominal and the developer has paid for the processing of the proposed vacation abandonment. Mayor Tait opened the public hearing for comments. William Fitzgerald objected to this project, explaining his rationale for the objection. Mayor Tait took exception to Mr. Fitzgerald's comments. With no other comments offered, Mayor Tait closed the public hearing.
