funding source at $1.4 million. Labor comprises the single largest expenditure at5Aq6and Mr.
Ba|marpresented the operating budget bvdivision. The Community Preservation and Licensing
Division is $11.7 mi||ioO, followed by Building Services at $0.1 million, Planning Services a1$4.7
million, and Administration at $1 million. The variance between the Community Preservation and
Licensing Division and other divisions is primarily attributed to the fact that the city's contract for
animal control servioes, approximately $3.7 rniUiVO, is exclusively allocated tothe Community
Preservation and Licensing Division. Henoted that there are 78full-time and ]7part-time
employees, which equates to27.25full-time equivalent positions. Hereported notable changes

provided through contract services. Responses from arecent request for proposals for graffiti
services reflected that cost of services would be increasing attributed to prevailing rates of wages
set by the State of California. He added staff is concerned about cost escalation, so staff is
working actively with the Finance Department to look at options to ensure the city is able to
provide important services atthe best possible price. Staff is considering providing those
services in-house. In terms of animal control, a new regional animal shelter is under construction
and expected 1obe open iODecember Cfthis year. Anaheim incontributing its proportionate

implement the program. When lethal action is requined, iiinvolves trapping services which will
need tobecontracted out. Short-term rentals are also inthe budget, and the settlement will help
mitigate the city's costs.
Council W4ennbar Murray thanked Mr. Be|nnerand the Planning Department for the report and
efforts tofund all city services. She asked whether the city iefully resourced for the Quality
Rental Housing Program and Mr. Be|merreportod it is fully -resourced as well as the Quality Motel

department's budget for FY2017/18. Hereported the department's core services include
preserving, improving, and expanding the supply ofaffordable housing inthe city, providing a
wide -range of job -training services and employment opportunities, and leveraging non -
discretionary funding for investment in the community. The department has abudget of$182.8
million, of which $7.2 million is allocated towards capital projects and is primarily supported by
non -discretionary funding sources consisting of restrictive grants from the federal government
under the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program, the Home Investment Partnership Program, the
Emergency Solutions Grant Program, and the Community Development Block Grant Program as
well as funding from the state via the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The department
gets non -discretionary funds from the former Redevelopment Agency's affordable housing assets
and the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund for the unwinding ofthe former agency's affairs.
Mr. Woodhead reported the department's operating budget is $175.6 million of which 6.5% is

allocated among the department's divisions as follows: $123.6 million for Housing, with $77
million for the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program and $46.6 for affordable housing
development; $32.2 million for Community Investment; $11.2 million for Grants; $4.9 for
Administration; and $3.7 million for the Workforce Development division. The department budget
accounts for 73 full-time staff and 17 part-time personnel, for 9.3 full-time equivalent. This reflects
no change from the current fiscal year but there currently a number of key vacancies which are
intended to be filled.
Mr. Woodhead stated that in recognizing the potential synergy among the Affordable Housing and
the Workforce Development programs and in anticipation of a job component being added to the
Section 8 Rental Assistance Program, they have embarked on an effort to consolidate the
administrative functions of the program in a shared and secured space and the programs,
resources, and services that are available to the public together with numerous other social
services into a Super One -Stop Center. At the recently renovated home located at 883 S.
Anaheim Blvd, staff is creating a homeless service center to more efficiently operate the
Homeless Assistance Pilot Program for families with children attending Anaheim schools and the
newly created Chronically Homeless Individual Program.
The department has a number of exciting opportunities, which include continuing to leverage
affordable housing assets, to develop a 54 -unit affordable housing development for seniors at the
site of the Sandman Motel and a Potter's Lane shipping container housing project for Anaheim's
homeless veterans. In addition, staff anticipates releasing a request for proposals for the
potential development of over 100 -units of workforce housing for Anaheim's residents at the
southeast corner of Manchester and Orangewood. They are continuing enhancements of the
parking management system for the parking in Center City, with the goal of efficiently using the
existing 4,000 spaces through the use of a parking guidance system, real-time way finding, and
integrated web applications. They will also continue the disposition and development of former
Redevelopment Agency properties. In Center City, they are eagerly anticipating the opening of
Leisure Town on Anaheim Blvd.; Pali Winery and Jav's Bar -B -Q joining Unsung Brewery; and the
final brewery plans for Harbor lofts. In west Anaheim, staff hopes to acquire the Americana Hotel
and adjacent properties at the southeast corner Lincoln and Beach
He highlighted the grand opening of the Rockwood Apartments which houses 148 formerly -
homeless Anaheim children, services to 13,359 job seekers at the Anaheim Jobs Center and 325
youth at the Youth Summer Job Fair, and the approval of the Westgate Disposition and
Development Agreement for an approximately 300,000 square foot commercial center with
community green at Beach Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Vanderbilt noted discussion in the budget documents regarding
the demolition of the building currently housing the Job Center on the corner of Anaheim
Boulevard and Broadway for another use, and asked for clarification.
Mr. Woodhead reported there are no current plans to demolish the building; staff will bring the
item to Council later. Anaheim Jobs has been operating there but the State has informed the city
they will no longer allow their employees into that building, as it is in a state of disrepair. Costs to
repair major systems in the building are in excess of $1.5 million, and the plan is to move the
Center to second floor of Anaheim West Tower. He expected the city will go out for an RFP to
determine what the development community might come up with for the property.
City Manager Paul Emery added the issue has been raised by other individuals and for purposes
of budget adoption, he has requested the Finance Department staff work to remove the statement
with respect to the demolition of the building in 2017/18. Prior to any action forthcoming, Council
will be able to weigh in, in terms of the appropriate reuse or ultimate disposition of that property.

includes predominantly Convention Center labor of $21 million. Debt Service totaling 25.7% of
the budget includes Convention Center debt service of $16 million and ARTIC debt service of
$3.5 million. Finally, Capital Outlay is 4.1% of the budget includes Convention Center capital of

capital of $200,000. From a labor percentage perspective, if you look at only the Anaheim
Convention Center operation, the labor percentage is 40% and if you remove the Convention
Center debt service and capital, labor percentage io62%. For fiscal year 2017/1O.the
department is budgeted at85full-time employees and 239 full-time equiva|ents, which equates to
a part-time pool of 515 employees, which consist mainly of facility services, security, crowd

Mr. Morton stated the most significant notable change is the completion of the Anaheim
Convention Center 7th expansion, Betterment VII, which is a 900.000 square foot expansion to be
known as ACC North, slated for completion in early September and will add 200,000 square feet
of leasable flexible space, replacement of 1,300 parking spaces, a 12,000 square foot kitchen, a
10'000 square foot balcony overlooking K8te)|a Avenue' o climate -controlled connector bridge,
and loading docks toservice the new space. The opening ofACC North inSeptember has
provided an exceptional opportunity to market and sell, so the Convention Center will retain their
large annual events, attract new meeting -intensive groups that they cannot currently
acuornnnodata, and secure concurrent events to maximize exhibit space. In addition to NAMW1
and Natural Products, Visit Anaheim has already rebooked Keller Williams, Citriu, and the
Association of Health System Pharmacists; groups that would have muhznowm the current space.
Between 2017 and 2019, Visit Anaheim has confirmed 32 groups using the expanded space,
including the American Heart Association.

ACC North' in September and hosting of Mexican artist Jorge M@riO'G "Wings of the City" ad
exhibit from July 11to September 3Oatthe Anaheim Convention Center.
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Barnes's question as towhether actual numbers
met past projections, Mr. Morton reported the proposed are expenses for next year's budget and
are fairly standard. He addressed restaurants atART|C and reported currently it is operating at a
$2.5million operating loss and the goal was b}break even byyear five. Hefurther stated the
large portion of the loss constituted naming rights, which they have not been successful in
procuring, and advertising, specifically a more freeway -oriented reader board. Staff ialooking at
bringing the Council opportunities tomaximizes those revenue opportunities.
In reply to K4oyorTait's question, Mr. Morton reported $7.4 million is the total expense associated
with ART|C and $3.5 nli|1ioO of that is debt. He added the goal is to break even, and any revenue
made can beused toassist iMproviding capital for the Convention Center. The division's debt
service ($10 nni||inD) is funded by the General Fund. Visit Anaheim /$14.2 million) is from pass-
through funds collected through the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District and ART|Cexpenses

remaining expenses are covered byrevenues within the department.
City Manager Paul Emery reported when staff looks at revenues brought in by the division, staff
documents revenue brought inbyevents. Debt service and the arrangement with Visit Anaheim
iSdone inamanner that reflects the expenditure within the department, but revenues tooffset
come from TOT. The department is not credited with TOT revenue, specifically, but staff knows
they bring TOT revenue to the city, but it is not accounted specifically to that department.
Mr. Morton added the only General Fund expenditure associated with the department is the debt
service for the Convention Center and the ART|C operation.
Mayor Tait asked about the number of room nights generated by the Convention Center and Mr.
Morton reported 3O% ofthe TOT iagenerated bythe Convention Center, which would equate to
approximately 600,000 room nights.
Council Member Kringlooked forward to the Convention Center expansion, thanked staff, and
congratulated Joaquin C)uesadaonhis new position.
Council Member Moreno thanked Mr. Morton and his staff for their work and asked ifthe city is
using TOT money to pay off debt, whether that is general fund money. M[. W1VrtOD responded
affirmatively adding that iothe way the Finance Department has set itupand transfers onthe
revenue side.
Mr. Emery added the pies before Council are an expenditure depiction and does not show the
revenue generated or where it came from and offered to provide better classification in the future.
Council Member Murray commented on being credited for all expenses but none of the revenues
that make the budget possible. She felt ifthere was adepiction ofthe venues that have
expenditures attached tothem and the directed TOT and sales tax that comes 1oAnaheim
because 0fthe venues, there would beoclear picture GJthe value. She asked regarding the
number ofannual visitors Anaheim would have without the Resort District, the Anaheim Ducks
and Stadium, and the Convention Center, and Mr. Morton reported the Convention Center brings
inapproximately 1 million per year, the stadium over 3million, the Honda Center over 1.5million
and reported the revenues from the Convention Center are not associated with its operation. He
added the Convention Center generates enough revenue tocover its expenses, The number of
visitors associated with the greater Resort area imapproximately 2O* million.
Council Member Murray commented on the uniqueness of the Convention Center paying for itself
and noted other cities are having to consider raising taxes to balance their budgets. She reported
Anaheim isnot considering tax raises, as the city's visitor base continues to climb and will
continue to do so because of the additional proposed amenities to the Resort District and
Convention Center. kwas noted the additional revenue ianot yet calculated inthe forecast.
Council Member Faessel stated he heard there were 7 million room nights and asked whether
that was anaccurate number. Mr. Morton reported that number imthe total capacity/opportunity
within Anaheim, VnoOannual basis.
In reply to K8oyorTaiYs inquiry. Finance DirectOr/CitvTneasuPer Debbie Moreno naported, relative
tothe Convention Center, roughly 30%ofthe TOT comes from the General Fund. The
Convention Center generates $47million inTOT from room nights. The average rate for mroom
is $152. Thera are 7 rni||ioD room nights available and current occupancy is 6 million.

Morton reported these are different than those approved for replacement in 2016 and commented
on the cost for replacing them to larger units.

is from ticket threshold revenue which is about $800.000 to $1 million per year. The city must

D1 16 27. Review Chapter 11.1O8fthe Anaheim Municipal Code related tOthe City's Anti -Camping
Ordinance, along with the comprehensive homeless support services the city is currently
prVviding, and direct staff to continue an iOtegnated, comprehensive program to ensure the
homeless and general public are protected.
Assistant City Manager Kristine Ridge presented details of an update of the city's efforts to
address homelessness inthe community. She stated the item provides anupdate 0fthe efforts
at addressing homelessness in the community and the opportunity to re -affirm support or make
changes of Chapter 11. 10 of the Municipal Code, which is the Camping and Storage of Personal
Property in Public Areas, stating this item was requested by Council Member Murray at the April
m
25 council meeting.
K8m. Ridge reported that Anaheim has taken a vary comprehensive and balanced approach to
addressing homelessness in the community with a focus on outreach and providing access to
services under the umbrella "Coming Home Anaheirn^ She stated she would provide abrief
update of efforts, specifically the tremendous work performed by our collaborative partners, the
success already being achieved at the first year-round shelter, affordable housing in the City, and
the innovative programs implemented by the police department, as well as, provide some
background onChapter 11.10ofthe Anaheim Municipal Code.
Anaheim recognized several years ago that government alone was not the solution for
addressing homelessness and that a better approach was a comprehensive one that combined
the resources and expertise ofothers. Bypartnering with Qh/Ne\'the Anaheim Homeless
Collaborative was formed and now has over 100 different nonprofits, governmental, and faith
based organizations apart nfthe efforts. Individuals from the collaborative have been conducting
weekly outreach in Anaheim since January 2O14with their collective efforts relocating close to
80Ohomeless from the streets. This approach continues tobe the backbone ofefforts 0oprovide
compassion and assistance tothose who find themselves homeless.
She continued to state that just last month, a very significant milestone was achieved when the
County ofOrange and their operator Mercy House opened the first ever year-round emergency
shelter. Anaheim provided support and financial assistance to the County to make this become a
reality. A phased opening happened on May 5th with capacity of 100 beds for single men and
women. The full capacity was reached within three weeks; the shelter has served 11D
unduplicated individuals since opening transitioning three into permanent housing and securing
vouchers for two others. Services are provided on site including Social Services Agency eligibility
determinations fora number ofprograms, veterinarian services, dental aervioes, assistance with
employment, and legal services. Todate the County reports that they have received favorable
feedback from the immediate community on their operating procedures, especially the patrols
conducted ofthe immediate area. Also, Anaheim Police Department iacurrently utilizing four of
the five beds reserved for them. Once full build out iocompleted, the capacity will increase 0o2O0
beds,
Ms. Ridge stated the City recognized that housing is the ultimate solution for homeless and the
Housing Authority has Leehvery proactive at working with developers to bring affordable housing
t0Anaheim, b}help people find housing, and offer rent assistance vouchers. She shared a/isting
of affordable housing projects, with the most recently completed project, Rockwood Apartments
where 4Oformerly homeless families secured housing. Inaddition to the affordable housing,
City Council Minutes of June 20, 2017
Page 22 of 38
entitlement funds have been allocated for homeless prevention and intervention activities, such
as the program initiated with Anaheim Union High School District and Illumination Foundation to
identify homeless students and provide services to their families or CDBG funds programmed to
provide job training services to families residing in shelters.
Ms. Ridge reported that while multiple City departments conduct activities related to homeless,
the police department continues to be on the frontlines when addressing homelessness. Over
the years they have implemented innovative practices that continue to be duplicated by other law
enforcement agencies. They are a critical partner for performing outreach and have specially -
trained homeless liaison officers. They initiated a Homeless Outreach Court to better provide
necessary services to this specific population. They partner with mental health clinicians to better
serve homeless suffering from mental illness and work closely with businesses to provide design
recommendations to secure those businesses from homeless related issues. In addition, they
are responsible for enforcement of the law including enforcement of the camping and storage
ordinance. For more details on the City of Anaheim's efforts at addressing homelessness, she
encouraged residents to visit Anaheim.net under major initiatives to find many more details on the
City's efforts.
Moving on to present information on Chapter 11. 10, this chapter on camping and storage of
personal property in public areas was introduced on October 22, 2013 and unanimously approved
by Council. The purpose of the code was to provide a tool for maintaining and preserving all
public areas from activities which can constitute a public health and safety hazard and which
negatively impact neighborhoods and commercial areas of the City.
On March 22, 2016 an amendment was introduced to provide discretion to the City Prosecutor to
charge violations as misdemeanors or infractions based on the individual circumstances of the
violation. This provided an enhancement to address an increase in criminal activities in public
areas and was approved unanimously by City Council.
She continued to state that while the City's approach to addressing homelessness was focused
on improving the lives of the homeless who want assistance, the city also has an obligation to
address the impacts to our local businesses and residents. Enforcement of Chapter 11.10 is the
responsibility of the Anaheim Police Department who has provided training and guidelines for its
enforcement, including only citing when other options and efforts have been exhausted. It is used
on a seldom basis to address acute problems and, year to date for 2017, only 17 citations have
been issued. For calendar year 2016, 36 citations were issued. It should be important to note
that Anaheim is one of several municipalities that have similar regulations.
In response to Mayor Tait's inquiry, Ms. Ridge stated of the 17 citations issued in 2017, 16 were
infractions.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Murray reported asking for this item as the result of a prior
workshop as she believed it important that the new Council have an opportunity to address the
comprehensive approach formed by a prior Council. She reported there have been elaborate
public discussions for six months, have heard from top experts in the field, have helped more
than 800 individuals find permanent housing, and there is a homeless collaborative made up of
more than 179 public agencies and service providers that meet twice monthly to serve the
homeless and provide individual case management. The city is committed to providing
comprehensive programs to provide health, security, and safety for all who live, work, and visit
Anaheim as well as providing comprehensive, tailored care to those who are homeless. She
noted the importance of working together and building upon existing practices and reported
current efforts have been successful and has provided for additional security. She opined the city
should not look at ways of providing additional encampments, but rather look at ways to provide

Page 23of38
permanent housing. She added ifthe city forms 8working group, they should have clear
direction from Council and indicated the shelter is serving and doing good work. She stated the
city should continue to build On the best practices already established.
Council Member KriDgagreed with Council Member Murray's comments and reported when the
County moved the homeless from one area to another, the County was going to take their
belongings, but the ACLU went to court, and the judge stated they cannot be touched for ninety
days. She reported ninety days were up two weeks ago and not one person came back to
retrieve their property. She stressed the need toget the homeless off the streets but noted many
do not want the help. Additionally, there are :[i0iD8| elements praying on the current homeless,
but not every homeless person iswilling tOget help. She acknowledged families who spoke
about not wanting the homeless in their neighborhoods and noted the people who pay for the
parks (taxpayenS) are the people who should beusing the parks. She expressed her support for
the existing ordinance and hoped everyone can work together Lofind solutions.
Council Member Foesme|stated iiwas alleged the city's retention rate was above SO96and the
county's retention rate was 18% and asked whether those numbers were legitimate.
Mo. Ridge stated she was not familiar with the county's retention ra1e, or from what facility it was
being reported. The city's number was from the quarterly report produced byCitvNetwith
detailed information from every individual they have exited from the streets and not all have been
placed in permanent housing but several hundred have been reunited with family members in
their households.
Council Member Famsse/reported itwas alleged that CityNet was gsham and not serving the
needs of the homeless community and asked whether the city has a way of confirming their level
of activities, so the city feels comfortable they are addressing the needs of the homeless properly
and efficiently.
yWo. Ridge reported Cit/Net was not a provider of many SorviQao provided to the ho0g|em8, but
rather is the city's contractor that is paid to facilitate the hmnne|eae co||aboratiwe. The
collaborative provides the services tothe homeless. She encouraged anyone who has doubts
about the collaborative toattend their meetings. They meet twice amonth with one of the
meetings being open b]the public. She added QtvNet and the homeless collaborative are being
hired bymany cities trying toduplicate Anaheim's efforts.
Mayor Tait stated this item was premo1una, commented positively on the work ofC\h/Netand the
Drug Free Anaheim Pn)gnam, and indicated he would prefer to table this matter until information
can beobtained from the proposed working group bo be considered under Item No. 28. He
reported meeting with Nancy West of Al Fresco Gardens to discuss her concept and agreed with
the potential implementation of safe camping area for the homeless. He added current
practices were not working and he did not agree with maintaining the status quo.
Council Member Faaose|stated the action before Council was toreaffirm the city's anti -camping
ordinance and asked whether hytabling the itenn, the ordinance stands in place, bowhich Acting
City Attorney Kristin Pelletier responded affirmatively.

carried.
D116 28. Create the Homeless Policy Working Group for the purpose of researching and
developing recommendations regarding best practices to address homelessness.
Assistant City Manager Kristine Ridge presented the report, noting the item was the creation of a
Homeless Policy Working Group as requested by Council Member Moreno. The formation of the
proposed working group would be for researching and developing recommendations on best
practices to further aid the city in addressing homelessness within the community. She added at
the April 25th Council meeting, staff received direction on the stakeholders that should be invited
to participate in the working group. Nine organizations were identified, and staff has reached out
to them and invited their participation. These include CityNet-Matt Bates, Poverty Taskforce-
Linda Lehnkering, People's Taskforce-Mike Robbins, State Senate Office of Josh Newman -
District Director Calvin Sung, State Assembly Office Sharon Quirk Silva -District Coordinator
Jesse Benron, City of Anaheim -Captain Carter, Visit Anaheim -Jay Burress, and ACLU -Eve
Garrow. From the City Council, Council Member Moreno would serve with the remaining City
Council appointments to be determined by Council. For the assigned representative from the
County of Orange, it still needed to be determined but a request was pending. She added the
working group would be in existence for approximately three months and then sunset. At the
conclusion, the group will report back to Council with specific recommendations and policy
considerations.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno reported asking Council Member Barnes and Mayor Pro
Tem Vanderbilt to join the taskforce, representing different districts in the city. He questioned
why Council would look to reaffirm ordinances and programs already known when experts have
reported there was no policy framework to guide the work of homelessness in the city. The city
provides wonderful services, but that does not resolve the issue at hand. He contended when
Council voted for the anti -camping ordinance, Council responded to reactions from residents
frustrated by this issue. He wondered how people can be brought in, from multiple sides of the
issue, to resolve it and felt the anti -camping ordinance has pushed homelessness to the entire
city. Residents want relief but also want it to be in a compassionate, focused way. He added
there has been no proposal made to develop an affordable housing policy by colleagues who
seek reaffirmation of the process. He reported the working group was also important to align
people together, as one Anaheim, to look at what the city can do to make recommendations to
the county. Council Member Moreno shared a quote from the Dalai Lama regarding dynamic
compassion and felt the ethics of the group will be to look at policy and understand the source of
homelessness to better help the homeless with compassion and to bring support to residents. He
added the working group would fall under the Brown Act and under the condition of public
meetings. He reported no ordinance has been changed tonight and warned the public to not give
in to the politics of fear.
Council Member Kring stated she has never advocated for a dog park to get rid of the homeless.
She indicated she cannot support this item because it was focused on Anaheim. She reported
she is Chair of the Homelessness Commission for the Association of California Cities, Orange
County Division (ACCOC), and Homeless Czar Susan Price attends ACCOC meetings. Ms.
Price stated she would not participate in the proposed Homeless Policy Working Group because
the group only advocates giving the homeless food and toilets and she wanted to elevate the
homeless by giving them housing. Council Member Kring indicated the homeless need
permanent housing rather than a safe campsite and reported the county's working group
City Council Minutes ofJune 2l2017
Page 2Sof38
advocated for various Orange County cities. She felt Anaheim cannot d0everything and
reiterated she would not support this item.
Council Member Murray commented oDthe need tOgive clear direction tVthe group, referenced
the proposed membership, and could not understand why the group would include individuals
who dOnot work with the homeless dGV-to+d8y. She added there were individuals who have
been very vocal against the city's anti -camping ordinance. She addressed the homeless
collaborative, noting it as made up of experts on the topic of homelessness, meets twice a month,
required intensive research and has had real success. She opined todiminish the work done by
the collaborative was unfortunate and mentioned the existence of an affordable housing policy
implemented byaprior Council. The only reason the city has not moved forward was because of
the dismantling Dfredevelopment. She reported she would not support the item especially aait
may be an effort to form a vocal group in opposition to the city's anti -camping ordinance. She
indicated she would like to have the involvement of the collaborative in this matter.
Council Member Faessel expressed concerns with not having Susan Price as part ofthe County
of Orange's participation in the working group. He noted Mo. Price was responsible for homeless
services in Orange County, played an important part inthe Bridges at Kraemer homeless shelter,
and to not have her be a part of the work group seemed to present a problem and made him
uncomfortable.
Council Member Moreno reported communicating with Ma. Price who expressed concerns about
her Oxvn participation and not someone from her office. K80. Ridge confirmed Council Member
MoneOo's statement and added she has reached out to Julia Bidwell, Director of Community and
Homeless pnograma, as an alternate to W1a. Price. She has not heard back from her, but it was
staff's intent to have o representative from the County ofOrange in the working group. Council
Member Moreno noted the importance ofhaving people with different ideas, backgrounds, and
perspectives including those opposed tothe anti -camping ordinance, Hereported the
collaborative has indicated they are not a policy -oriented working group and they agreed with the
need boform apolicy working group. Henoted proposed participation bynot just the county, but
also the state. Hacommented onthe ACLU noting many citizens have their civil liberties
because of the ACLU, and stated they should not be feared, but rather engaged in the process to
reach acommon understanding. Heasked for Council support, noting |twas 8balanced working
group and would allow the city to have a policy framework.
Council Member Murray stated she does not find the proposed working group threatening, but
claimed there were voices in the group who have been vocally opposed to the city's anti -camping
ordinance. In terms of state repnesentotion, she wondered why Tom Daly was not contacted, as
he represents the greatest portion of the oib/ in the Assembly.
Council Member Moreno explained it had to do with the size of the group and Assembly Member
Silva has been engaged inhomeless issues. Haoffered toinvite Assembly Member Daly to
participate.
Council Member Murray expressed concerns with the lack of policy experts in the group.
Mayor Pro Tern Vanderbilt recommended getting stronger confirmation from the county in terms
oftheir representation. He suggested extending this item until the city receives confirmation from
the county about their participation.
Council Member Barnes commented on a recent CityNet meeting and felt everyone on the dais
should baengaged with CitvNe1. Aneport from the Board ofSupervisors indicated $75O.00Dwas
allocated for six months for a Flood C0D1no| Pilot Program; $5 Oni||ioM for mental health programs

including housing for 50homeless individuals. She encouraged public involvement and reported
needing more outreach clinicians and more police patrolling. She reported her constituents were
begging for relief aasome had been accosted last week. She has spoken with many homeless
individuals who reject help and nef8naDCed comments that it was not working 88 it should.
City Manager Paul Emery explained "211"was not responsibility, and if itwas not
functioning properly, staff needed specific feedback to provide the county.
Council Member Barnes referenced public comments about the homeless having their property
taken away, including their medication, and indicated she would like to see documentation.
Council Member Kring stated the issue was not that "211"was not working, but that the homeless
refused to participate. She reported Susan Price has stated it takes 20 to25contacts before a
homeless individual will agree bJget help. She added the police has places where abused
people can get help immediately.
Mayor Tait expressed his support and felt the information provided by the working group would be
Council Member Faessel expressed concerns there was nmidentified participant from the County
of Orange and agreed with inviting Assembly Member Daly bJparticipate. Heasked whether
Council would bewilling tnpostpone this matter until July 11.2O17.
Mayor Tait suggested the group not meet until amember from the County of Orange has been
assigned.
Council Member K8onBDO expressed mVDC8nns with prolonging the item noting there were
participants who are already engaged in the issue.
In response to Ms. Ridge's inquiry regarding the need to return before Council for approval of
specific participants, Acting City Attorney Kristin Pelletier reported if Council gave direction tOstaff
to select those individuals, staff would not need to come back for Council approval. If Council
wanted to be involved, then the item would need to return for Council consideration.

Council Member Faessel felt it would have been simpler to address each Commission separately,
SDthat each could stand on its own.

Finance Director/City Treasurer Debbie Moreno presented an overview of the FY 2017/18
proposed budget noting it totals $1.9 billion, made up of $1.7 billion in expenditures and nearly
$200 million in transfers out. Based on Council direction, General Fund expenditures could be
increased by $2.8 million, $2 million in police, and almost $800,000 for community services to
provide staffing and other operational costs at the Ponderosa Family Resource Center. The
largest portion of proposed uses was in Enterprise Funds at 43%. Enterprise Funds included
water, electric, and sanitation utilities, golf courses, convention, sports and entertainment venues,
and ARTIC. The bulk were from restricted sources as are nearly 2/3rds of all expenditures. Most
unrestricted funds are in the General Fund at 21 % of citywide uses. She stated the City's
General Fund sources total $397.7 million with the largest sources of revenues coming from the
Big Three: TOT, Sales and Use Tax, and Property Tax at a combined 78%. The remaining 22%
included Business License, Fees and Permits, Transfers from Other Funds, and other revenues.
The City's General Fund uses total $394.8M, an increase of only 1 % from the FY 2016/17
adopted uses. The biggest piece of the pie is for General Fund Services at 79%. Services
represents labor including— Full -Time, Part -Time and all related benefit costs as well as Other
Operating expenses. Debt service expenditures make up 20% of General Fund uses. The
majority of debt service is transferred out and paid through restricted debt service funds and is
largely related to the Resort bonds and convention center expansions. Capital outlay makes up
less than 1 % of General Fund uses. The remaining 1 % is used for economic development
programs.
Ms. Moreno highlighted the Services portion and detailed breakdown by functional group. Of the
services provided to the Anaheim community, the largest share, 2/3, relates to Keeping Us Safe
and includes Police and Fire. Departments focused on ensuring the quality of life make up 17%
of the Services slice. Public Works and Public Utilities maintain our infrastructure and make up
7% of General Fund Services. The remaining 10% is associated with administrative departments
who ensure that operations are supported effectively and efficiently.
She stated the General Fund Five -Year Forecast is based on existing service levels and current
revenue projections, given what we know today. They monitor revenue and expenditure
performance regularly and re-evaluate and respond accordingly as new information comes to
light. They continually review the 5 -year forecast to identify available funds for ongoing or one-
time enhancements.
She continued that the proposed General Fund budget is balanced with a surplus of $2.9M, which
is available to support the $2.8 million planned for the opening of the new Ponderosa Family
Resource Center and the final year of the City Council's "40 in 4" initiative to add forty Police
Officers over four years. With Council's direction and support, the City has been able to add
ongoing service enhancements over the five years since coming out of recession. Compounding
the annual amounts since FY 13 means the city has spent $42 million for ongoing services in
Neighborhoods, Parks, and Public Safety programs. Approximately 80% of enhancements have
been focused on Public Safety, with 20% going toward our neighborhoods and parks.
She noted, in conjunction with the ongoing service enhancements, the city was also able to
include $20.6M for one-time improvements between FY 13 and the current fiscal year. She
provide a summary chart that showed the net impact of the Resort to the General Fund based on
the proposed FY 2017/18 budget. In terms of net cost, the Anaheim Resort has a positive fiscal
impact on the City. Sources generated from the Resort total $171.9 million and uses to support
the Resort equal $90.3 million net of Disney fees.
She reported the $81.6 million generated by the Anaheim Resort after it pays its share of costs
represents nearly one quarter of the City's General Fund Budget and is available to provide core

services across the City. While the activity of the Anaheim Resort takes place in a heavily
concentrated area, its benefit is shared by the balance of Anaheim's neighborhoods and lessens
the tax burden on residents.
She added that in addition to the annual budget workshops and public hearing, this year the
Finance Department introduced a number of new community outreach opportunities including a
Budget Preview document made available in early May, online informational tools and
prioritization opportunities, and additional Neighborhood Services District Community meetings.
The Neighborhood Services District Community Meetings on the city budget were held
throughout May and June in each of the six Council districts; budget information was provided
and participants were afforded the opportunity to have engaging conversations with senior
department representatives and provide feedback regarding their service and budget priorities.
She stated that more than 135 people participated by attending the community meetings or
submitting their priorities online. The meetings allowed staff the opportunity to build a stronger
rapport with the community and to better engage and educate residents on where the city's
money comes from and where it goes. She reported that, overall, residents expressed the
meetings were a worthwhile experience and indicated a better understanding of the city's budget.
The common themes and priorities included clean and safe parks; graffiti and neighborhood
beautification; homelessness and affordable housing; recreation and library programs; and public
safety.
She presented the annual appropriations limits for fiscal year 2017/18 for the City and each of its
five community facilities districts (CFD). She stated that in accordance with the California state
constitution, each local agency must establish an appropriations limit prior to the commencement
of each fiscal year. The limits are based upon the appropriations limits for fiscal year 2016/17,
adjusted for the growth factors in City population and California per capita personal income
growth. Debt service has been paid in full for the Anaheim Hills Community Facilities Districts
(Sycamore Canyon, The Highlands and The Summit) and no further assessments will be levied,
but as we facilitate closure of the districts, the City has an obligation to establish an
appropriations limit as long as the districts legally exist. The expenditures in the proposed budget
under consideration continue to be substantially below the expenditure limits established by the
state constitution.
Ms. Moreno presented the proposed fee changes including fees for Convention, Sports and
Entertainment, Community Services, and Public Works. Increased rates have been proposed by
the Convention, Sports and Entertainment Department, which are rate adjustments in an effort to
develop fair and equitable charges consistent with comparable facilities. Additionally, the
department is proposing new rental fees for ACC North and the Grand Plaza. The Community
Services Department is proposing increases to golf green fees at Dad Miller and Anaheim Hills to
offset escalating operational and capital costs. Public Works is proposing increases for solid
waste collection fees to cover increased operational costs and contractual payments to the City's
waste hauler. An increase is also being proposed for wastewater and storm drain system
maintenance and operating costs
She concluded noting the recommendation for adoption of the budget includes the amendments
for ongoing service enhancements as presented, appropriations limits for the City and its five
CFDs, and the City's fee change resolutions.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Faessel referenced community outreach meetings and thanked
his neighbors in District 5 for participating. Based upon community input, he asked whether there
were any changes of consequence were made.

Page 31 of 38
K4Q. Moreno reported DO changes were made and staff received only |irnibad responses from
community meetings and only 25 people submitted suggestions in response to the online survey.
Mayor Pro Tem Vanderbilt referenced the Capital Improvement document and asked regarding
allocations for subsequent y88rg' to which Mg. K8OraOO reported those results typically were
presented during the final year ofa project.
Council Member Kring asked for clarification regarding whether the fee changes would be
presented to Council later and expressed concern regarding solid waste collection and impact
fees. W18. Moreno reported Council will later review a comprehensive city-wide study done for all
other user and impact fees so staff can make thoughtful recommendations about the types of fee
increases, but Council would act tonight on the fee changes presented in the staff report.
Mr. Emery addressed the fee changes proposed and the amount of the proposed increases.
Mayor Pro Tern Vanderbilt referenced the La Pa|nne Park Soccer Field and Mr. Emery reported
this year's appropriation was based onactual revenues and the city anticipated the cost [fthe
project to be $1Omillion, but nOspecific revenues had been identified 8tthis point.
in response to Mayor Tait's question, Mr. Emery addressed options Council can consider in terms
of adopting the budget, including identifying different items for appropriation later.
yN8yo[ Pro Tern Vanderbilt indicated he would like to review each item carefully and diligently, in
the future, while not holding up the budget pnJoeaS.
Mr. Emery stated there were many projects oCeffvvou|d like to proceed with, as soon as posm|b|e.
GO if there were specific projects Council vvOUld like staff to not proceed vVith, it would be helpful,
eostaff can provide full vetting and return toCouncil for authorization onthose projects.
Council Member Moreno asked about staffing ratios and investments and Mr. Emery reported the
only staffing ratios or changes in staffing were the 10 additional Police C}Hioon5 and was nnininng|
interms ofimpacts tupersonnel. Other than part-time personnel for Ponderosa Family Resource
Center, there were no changes to the personnel allocation for this fiscal year. The city ia
exploring the graffiti removal contract and Mr. Emery reported there was no additional
discretionary money to change staffing levels as part of the proposed budget.
Council Member Moreno referenced an earlier comment about increasing staffing for park
maintenaDca, creating a stronger presence in city parks, and redeploying staff k) provide more
services to residents and mteKad that was consistently communicated by Council.
Mr. Emery reported, relative to the redeployment of resources, discussions occurred regarding
discretionary levels Cfresources above and beyond continuing the city's service delivery asithas
historically. Staff has not looked at unraveling the current methodology of delivering services in
terms ofdealing with abase budget proposal. Staff provided asummary analysis for various
services and what they cost to bring them in-house versus contractual service delivery. Every
time Council considers a contract for nanevwa|, staff can provide that level of analysis going
forward. He does not recommend changing service levels to bring services with in-house
personnel aopart ofthis budget.
Council Member Moreno stated he had commented in the past, about the extent by which certain

Page 32of38
Mr. Emery reported the analysis was made for graffiti removal and park maintenance oervioea,
but to provide that level of assessment throughout all the delivery ofservices would be quite an
effort toaddress dthoughtfully and completely. When the city went through the recession and
saw dramatic adjustments in service de}ivery, because of resources and revenues, they did so as
acost-saving measure.
Council Member Moreno reiterated the need for a thorough analysis of outside versus in-house
services when considering service delivery going forward.
Mr. E0na[y agreed to provide the analysis going h][w8Rj and stated he was leery of adding staff in
times of economic uncertainty. H8noted the need tOhave @ level nfflexibility interms ofservice

Mayor Tait opened the public hearing.
VVi||ianl Fitzgerald, HO[n8 (]Vvn8[S Maintaining Our Environment, opined there were five actions
presented aoone and questioned the legality ofdoing such. Healleged Council has noconcern
about the future ofAnaheim and felt the budget was full 0fstatistic tricks and false entries. He
addressed the Convention Center, commented on incentives given out by the city, and
questioned the need for new city vehicles. He alleged wasteful spending by the city and Council
Members and claimed Anaheim has deteriorated.
Bryon Kaye reported reading o statement on Fauebook that the Anaheim Police Department has
gone up from o 2.2 rating to 2.3 and another comment that Anaheim has more breweries and
beer distributors than any other city inOrange County. Hequoted prior comments from Council
and reported the police were not doing their job, but Council continued to give them money. He
distinguished between COUOCi| comments and 8otiOnS' noting they did not correlate, and claimed
he and his family |iwo in sustained terror because of the Anaheim Police Department and stated
Council needs tochange.
No public comments were received from the teleconferencing site.

Emery stated he would be happy to meet with Council Member Moreno to review staffs
aomeoanneni. Council Member Moreno suggested highlighting the effect 8E}1 (Gas tax) would
have onthe city and expressed concerns with what appeared to be a reduction in the budget to
Neighborhood Services.
yNe. yNonaDV reported there was no reduction bothe base budget; reductions may have been
made based on one-time expenses that were inc|uded, but the department may have done e
reallocation as they have had excess resources in some areas and deficits in others.

confirmed staff reallocated some undeuageo staff had recaptured in part-time budgets and
recreation services and were reallocated to other park maintenance needs and utilities.

scheduling, and being ur8@bVe in terms of the GUOcab0D of time.
