A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM ADOPTING THE SMART CITY ROADMAP
INITIATIVE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("Anaheim") desires to
recognize existing Smart City initiatives and further expand upon such Anaheim initiatives
which support and incorporate information and communication technologies which enhance the
quality of life of Anaheim residents, business, and visitors as well as the performance of
municipal services; and
WHEREAS, in order to achieve this goal, it is the desire of the City Council that
Anaheim develop a master plan to become a leading Smart City which includes the following
characteristics: Service Delivery; Market and Enhance City Services; Anaheim Interactive
Customer Service, Resiliency for Anaheim Community, and Technology Deployed Citywide;
and
WHEREAS, in order to accomplish this, Anaheim needs to be connected, safe,
intelligent, and sustainable, which means Anaheim departments need to focus upon these areas in
order to build momentum towards future initiatives; and
WHEREAS, it is vital that existing Smart City initiatives and future Anaheim
initiatives which support and incorporate information and communication technologies continue
to maintain and protect the security and privacy interests of Anaheim residents, business, and
visitors; and
WHEREAS, it is essential that Anaheim initiatives which support and incorporate
information and communication technologies consider factors such as the ethical use and
deployment of technologies in light of the common good and what is in the best interests of
Anaheim communities, residents, business, and visitors; and
WHEREAS, Anaheim's SMART City Roadmap Initiative is intended to be a
master plan that continuously evolves as warranted by community needs, technical advancement,
City Council priorities, and funding availability; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds and determines that the establishment
of the SMART City Roadmap Initiative by the adoption of this resolution is not subject to the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and implementing regulations ("CEQA")
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) because it
does not involve a commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially
significant physical impact on the environment and does not, therefore, constitute a "project" as
defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes it is in the best interests of the City of
Anaheim that the City Council provide guidance and direction to improve the well-being of
residents, improve productivity and offer convenience, and to bring the community together towards
SMART goals by approving the SMART City Roadmap Initiative and encouraging staff to seek
grant funding sources to help accelerate projects which support the SMART City Roadmap
Initiative.

CITY OF ANAHEIM AS FOLLOWS:
