AdditionslDeletions to the Agenda: City Clerk Sheryll Schroeder announced that staff had
requested that Item A14 be removed from the agenda.
Public Comments:
James Reade pleaded the case of unfair imprisonment of an Anaheim Hills legal immigrant who
emigrated with his family from Iran.
Debbie Schroeder, Principal of Edison Elementary School, introduced and acknowledged
members of her staff and residents that were attending the meeting. She noted that there was a
working collaboration between her school, members of the community and the Police
Department, which had resulted in an improved formation of community programs.
Michael Baker, Executive Director of the Boy's and Girl's Clubs of Anaheim, reminded Council
of a fund raiser on May 17, 2003 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Proceeds of the event will
benefit the Motel Children Program.
Peter Healey addressed Council as both a representative of the Anaheim Municipal Employee
Association and also as a resident. He urged Council to consider a letter that was sent to City
Manager Morgan, regarding cutting in half the staff of the Anaheim Fire Department Life Safety
Unit.
City Manager Morgan responded that part of the budget preparation process has had to deal
with the economic realities of the effects of the economy, adding that this has meant that staff
has had to look at appropriations and at some reallocations and prioritizations. The proposals
have not been published at this time, he added, Council would be given the budget proposal on
May 1, 2003. City Manager Morgan noted at that time Council will have their opportunity to
deliberate on the issue. Mr. Morgan stated that the proposed budget does not create additional
risk, but that will be for Council to determine.
Mayor Pringle told Mr. Healy that he had read his letter and that he was not aware of the precise
issue because the City Manager had not presented the new budget to the Council as yet. Part
of Council's obligation was to figure out how to survive during tough economic times and to
make sure that they address all the issues within the budget. He knew that the City Manager
was looking at every area possible. The area of public safety, he explained, was the most
significant area for the city to maintain and he assured everyone that Council would do that to
ensure that the public would not be at risk. He noted he understood his concern for the two
positions, but he also wanted to reassure people that they needed to look at every area. He
stated it was Council's responsibility to make sure that staff had all the resources available to
make sure that the residents of the community were safe, first and foremost. As the Council
worked through the rather difficult process, he did not think this was in any way a final step
along the path and when, in fact the budget is presented to Council in May, Council will review
it, discuss it, and everyone will have a full opportunity to share specific concerns along the way.
Council Member Chavez added that it was a little more difficult for the Fire Department and the
AMEA members that have received notices that they were going to be laid off.
Mr. Healy said that one of his members had already received notice that he was going to be laid
off.
Mayor Pringle stated the Council would be very responsive to everyone's concerns.
