WORKSHOP - UPDATE ON ANDY'S MAP/MAJOR PROJECTS Deputy City Manager David Belmer introduced Lisandro Orozco and David See who joined him in providing an overview of Andy's Map and an update to some development projects throughout the City. Mr. Belmer stated there were quite a few developments occurring in the City and the community has great interest in what is occurring. Mr. Belmer explained the City was committed to communication and transparency; to that end, Council has taken action historically and recently to ensure the City is doing its best job in those regards. He highlighted how the City expanded from 300 feet to 500 feet for notification of public hearings and notices are mailed not only to property owners, but residents as well. The City encourages developers to host community meetings and the City posts project identification sign at project sites to inform residents of a proposed project. Mr. Belmer reported one of their most effective communication tools is Andy's Map. Andy's Map was developed through a collaboration between the Planning & Building Department and Geographic Information System (GIS) staff. The GIS system serves as the backbone of Andy's Map. The Andy's Map project began in 2015 with years' worth of research and development. At the time, there were only a handful of communities that had an interactive online development activity map. The project was tested in spring of 2016 and Version 1.0 was then released in the summer of 2016. Finally, Andy's Map received a major update this last summer of 2018 that included that addition of many new features. Mr. Belmer shared the map can be accessed at www.anaheim.net/andysmap or by simply "googling" Andy's Map, it will be the first search result on Google. Andy's Map is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is updated daily. Mr. Belmer further highlighted that Andy's Map not only reflects over 311 development projects, but also includes Anaheim Public Works projects. He shared that Andy's Map is smartphone compatible and automatically changes size when accessed from different devices. Mr. Belmer presented the various graphics to represent a project's development phases, from "Conceptual", "Under Review", "Approved", "Plan Check", "Under Construction," to "Complete." City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 19 Mr. Belmer reported Andy's Map shows two types of development projects: discretionary cases, which are cases that go before the Planning Commission and/or City Council, and construction projects approved administratively, which are projects with tenant improvements larger than 5,000 sq. feet, building additions greater than 1,000 feet, and any new residential unit. In addition, the map shows Public Works projects in the various stages of construction. Mr. Belmer demonstrated how to use Andy's Map and how residents can view information about development projects, by clicking on the icon in the map, which will display an "information card" with details on that specific development project. Mr. Belmer continued with highlighting different projects throughout the City. Within District 1, Mr. Belmer highlighted 39 Commons, part of the Beach Blvd Revitalization, which is a mixed-use project of restaurants, offices, and residential space. He further highlighted Ball Road Condos located at 2730 W. Ball Rd. which is a 41-unit proposed condo project with five affordable housing units; Lincoln Cottages, an approved 22-condo unit project replacing two recently demolished office buildings; and Savana Street, a 19-unit condo project, which was recently approved by the Planning Commission that required a General Plan amendment and zone change. In District 2, he highlighted the Parkgate Center project located at 2301 Lincoln Avenue, which will replace two office buildings to accommodate 48 condo units; an assisted living facility which is under review, which will replace a church at 2157 W. La Palma Avenue; Raising Canes located at 223 S. Euclid St. in the Target Shopping Center which is in the plan check phase; and Euclid Condos located at 1525 S. Euclid St., which will replace a former produce market with a 18-unit condo project. In District 3, Mr. Belmer spoke of the BARN project that was recently approved by the Planning Commission, which is a mixed-use project that includes residential and 16,000 sq. feet of retail space, and La Palma Village, which is in the grading phase and located at the northeast corner of La Palma Blvd and Anaheim Blvd The La Palma Village is a mixed use project with 162 condo units and 1,000 sq feet of commercial space He further highlighted the KB Homes project which is under construction and required a General Plan amendment and zone change approved before the Planning Commission The KB Homes project replaced older office buildings with nine condo units The Alexan Center City project, formerly Uptown Village, is nearing completion with 220 apartment units and 18,000 sq. feet of ground floor retail along Anaheim Blvd. Mr. Belmer stated District 4, the resort area, has a multitude of hotel projects under construction, which include the Starwood Element, Cambria Hotel & Suites, and the Radisson Blu. With the efforts of the Community & Economic Development Department to build affordable housing, and the with the partnership of Jamboree Housing, a 102 affordable apartment unit project was underway in District 4 Within District 5, Mr. Belmer highlighted the Jefferson Stadium Park under construction, which is a mixed-use project with over 1,000 units and 15,000 sq. feet of retail. The LT Global project was enthusiastically approved by the City Council and embodies the vision of the Platinum Triangle as an urban, dense mixed-use project where you can live, work, and shop all in the same site. The economy and the escalated cost of construction delayed the project, but Mr. Belmer was pleased to report they were looking at filing an application to accelerate Phase 1 on the eastern half of the project, next to the recently completed George Apartments. He further highlighted the A-Town project, which is under construction of its first phase including 400 apartment units. The developer is in discussion with the City to build out the rest of that community with for sale City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 3 of 19 properties which can result in up to 1,700 residential units. He highlighted the recent opening of Brewheim. In District 6, the Nohl Ranch Condos located in the corner of Nohl Ranch Road and Serrano is under review and working on an environmental review document. The City has been out in the community speaking of the project as residents feel that it may not be the right fit, which will be determined during the public hearing process. He also noted OC Link, formerly the Pacificenter Business Complex, located on Tustin Avenue and La Palma, which was recently approved by the Planning Commission and City Council for the addition of two apartment structures with about 400 apartment units and 5,000 sq. feet of retail space. The Van Buren is a by-right development project in the industrial zone not requiring a public hearing but on Andy's Map for those that may have interest on that project. The Weir Canyon Acura is scheduled before the Planning Commission for the expansion of the parking lot to allow for additional vehicle storage on a parcel that is unimproved. If approved, it will not only improve business operations but also address some aesthetic issues with those parcels. Mr. Belmer continued by highlighting that since Andy's Map was first launched, it has been accessed over 17,000 times. He stated they will be continuing to work with the City Manager's Communications Office to get the word out on Andy's Map and highlighted the brochure they distribute at District Community meetings. To conclude his presentation, he shared that Andy's Map was honored with a Public Outreach Award by the American Planning Association and further highlighted the search functions available within the application. DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Sidhu, Mr. Belmer stated that Andy's Map was internally created and maintained by the City, and is updated daily. In response to Mayor Sidhu, Planner Lisandro Orozco stated that Andy's Map gets about 20 visits a day with about 400 — 600 visits on a monthly basis. Mayor Sidhu inquired how visitors to the site know if a project is conceptual and only in the discussion phase from those that have been approved, using the example of the 24-Hour Fitness in District 6. In response, Mr. Belmer stated that, per the Sunshine Ordinance, applications filed are posted on the web-based application, which he understood could lead to challenges as at that point it is only a conceptual development review application. Understanding the pros and cons of posting an application in its initial stage, it does provides the opportunity to provide the public with the most information at the earliest possible time for those interested, but there may be some that only want to see it when it materializes to a final application. Staff is looking at ways to work with the developers to provide for an informal exchange prior to submission of an application for conceptual review. In response to Mayor Sidhu about providing additional information to the public informing them that it is only at the conceptual phase, Mr. Belmer stated staff will look into providing additional information when the project is in the exploratory phase. In response to Mayor Sidhu, Mr. Orozco stated that the only other city that has a robust application like Andy's Map is the City of Seattle called "Shaping Seattle." Mr. Orozco stated they met with their staff as they were creating Andy's Map and they served as a great resource. Mayor Sidhu congratulated staff on a great tool for the residents. City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 4 of 19 Council Member Faessel congratulated staff but also cautioned staff in the use of acronyms, such as CUP (Conditional Use Permit). He requested that staff provide the public with as much information to be readily understood. Council Member Moreno encouraged staff to continue outreach on social media platforms as reminders of this available tool for residents. He suggested the contact information of the applicant for the project entity should also be included and also expressed concerns with the posting of conceptual applications. Council Member Moreno suggested including an outline of the process to assist residents in understanding where the project is in the process. Council Member O'Neil inquired about the inclusion of a date of when the application was filed or completed. In response, Mr. Belmer stated that in feedback received the key information the public relied on was the narrative description, the picture, and the direct link to staff, but they will look at including additional information on the status. In response to Council Member O'Neil, Mr. Orozco stated that a project remains on Andy's Map for two years after completion. Council Member O'Neil also suggested providing additional description of the meaning of each phase of the process. In response to Council Member O'Neil regarding monetizing the application created by the City, City Attorney Robert Fabela stated he will look into it with staff regarding the proprietary nature of the application. In response to Council Member O'Neil inquiry to remove conceptual design applications from Andy's Map, Mr. Belmer stated that the action would be by ordinance to clarify or provide the exemption of conceptual design applications to not be included on the map. Mayor Pro Tern Kring congratulated staff on the work and the use of Andy. In response to Council Member Moreno, Mr. Orozco stated staff was looking into providing the information in different languages.

Receive update on homeless efforts in Anaheim. D116 Mayor Sidhu thanked City staff and all community members who helped address homelessness in Anaheim. Director of Human Resources Linda Andal reported that the Salvation Army shelter, located on Lewis Street, opened 224 emergency beds on January 31, 2019. She reported that minor exterior work continued, however the shelter was completely operational with full wrap-around services. As of February 18, the shelter was home to 72 individuals. In addition to individuals being transitioned from the State College Interim Shelter, Salvation Army was now accepting couples as well as women and new street-exit intakes. She further reported that the Kraemer Emergency 101-bed shelter located at 3035 E. La Mesa Street was on schedule for construction, with ribbon cutting scheduled for February 27, 2019 with Illumination Foundation operating the shelter. The State College Interim Emergency Shelter opened for services on December 20, 2018, and will remain open until March 14, 2019, or until all residents have been moved from the emergency shelters into the Salvation Army. She noted, as of today, the shelter was home to 151 individuals, had served over 360 different individuals, had provided approximately 5,500 bed nights, and continued to receive new street-exit intakes. Ms. Andal reported City Council approved a reimbursement agreement with Visit Anaheim Cares, Inc. on December 6, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $600,000 as well as a second agreement for an amount not to exceed $805,000 with Illumination Foundation for operation of the Interim Shelter. The total cost to construct the shelter was $1,204,718, which was offset by in- kind/donated services and supplies. These donations, in addition to the private contributions received, provided the city with a refund of $25,282, unless challenged. She advised that the City was still waiting on invoices and will audit those upon receipt. Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster reported that the City has been very up-front regarding issues that have occurred at the State College Shelter including those involving bathrooms, water heaters, and pets. He explained that Illumination Foundation has addressed all the issues very quickly and all issues have been addressed. He noted that some of the lessons learned at this facility have been put into place at the Salvation Army and Kraemer Emergency Shelters. He also addressed the previously mentioned concern of the welfare of a cat and he reported that it was unfounded. He addressed the suicide incident on February 15 and advised that any assertion that this person was mistreated or that there were any operational issues at either the interim shelter or the Salvation Army were unfounded. Mr. Lyster reported that he visits the shelters regularly and has spoken to residents to which some have noted their experience at the shelter has transformed their lives. He felt that the shelters have been run at the highest standard and agreed that there was no perfect shelter. DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno agreed that Mr. Lyster was very quick to respond to and investigate issues that arise at the shelters. He also knows that City staff and Illumination Foundation have worked hard to get these shelters up and running. He suggested that it may behoove the City to obtain an independent assessment of operations at the interim shelters and asked City Manager Chris Zapata to take that suggestion under consideration in addition to talking to the City's non-profit partners to determine what may be industry standard for such assessments. City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 11 of 19 Ms. Andal reported that the City was moving towards the Housing First model and can present additional details at a future date or via memo, in response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry. She believed the City was ahead of the mark and in order for the City to reach the Housing First model individuals needed to get off the street and into shelters. She noted that the next step was to address more transitional housing which was still shelter with more wrap around services and the City was looking at grants that will support this effort. Council Member Moreno asked that an itemized accounting be included in the next staff report regarding the efforts at the interim shelters. Council Member Faessel thanked everyone for their hard work regarding the shelters. He noted that homelessness and housing were a great concern within the State of California. Mr. Zapata reported that Anaheim is a member of the California Big 11 Mayors group that meets to discuss strategies to obtain funding from Sacramento. He has tasked the City's auditors to do an accounting of money and time spent on the homeless effort and to determine best practices. Lastly, he reported that a settlement has created a roadmap for homelessness that other cities do not currently have and believed the City was further ahead of other parts of California. MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to receive the update on homeless efforts in Anaheim, seconded by Council Member Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 6: (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Brandman, Moreno, Faessel, and O'Neil); ABSENT — 1: (Council Member Barnes). Motion carried. 5. Approve the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Annual T108 Reports for the Marketing and Transportation Component Funds. Public Works Director Rudy Emami reported that in 2010, City Council established the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District (ATID) for the promotion of local tourism and convention-related programs, as well as transportation improvements within The Anaheim Resort and Platinum Triangle. He reported that of the revenue collected, 75% of the ATID funds are dedicated to marketing, promotion, and related activities that work to bolster the City's tourism and convention industry. The City contracts with Visit Anaheim for that service. The remaining 25% of funds, equaling $4.8 million in the last fiscal year, are dedicated to transportation improvements and are administered through a Transportation Committee. The ATID management plan requires that Visit Anaheim and the Transportation Committee provide annual reports that include revenue, expenditures, and types of activities completed during the fiscal year. Mr. Emami recommended City Council approve the reports. DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno, Mr. Emami advised that there were two reports, Transportation Committee report and the Visit Anaheim report that comprised the entire ATID report. Jay Burress, President and CEO Visit Anaheim, reported that Enterprise Anaheim LLC is an organization owned and operated by Visit Anaheim, which can own or operate events at trade shows and was established so that Visit Anaheim and the ATID were not put at risk liability-wise, in response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry. He further advised that the losses reported in the report were due to sponsorships and events that did not occur. Lastly, he advised that the • City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 12 of 19 losses were covered by private sponsorships as well as the partnership private dollars that come into Visit Anaheim or Enterprise Anaheim LLC. Mr. Burress reported that the $400,000 contract with the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce was established in 2010 to provide deliverables in economic development and/or to provide advocacy to move tourism forward. Council Member Moreno was concerned that the City was approving a report while Visit Anaheim was quite active in political work within the City and felt there may be a conflict of interest. City Attorney Robert Fabela advised that he would need to investigate the issue in order to respond. MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to approve the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Annual Reports for the Marketing and Transportation Component Funds, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Kring.

The program requires any individual or entity who receives compensation for lobbying the City of Anaheim or any regional agency in which Anaheim has a voting role to register with the City Clerk as a lobbyist. Ms. Bass reported that in order to ensure complete public disclosure of the range of activities by lobbyists and those who employ them, lobbying entities are required to file quarterly disclosure reports.

City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 13 of 19 MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to receive and file the 2018 Annual Registered Lobbyist Report, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Kring. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 6: (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Brandman, Moreno, Faessel, and O'Neil); ABSENT— 1 (Council Member Barnes). Motion carried. 14. Approve the Second Amendment to Lease Agreement with Growth Opportunities AGR- through Athletics, Learning and Service (GOALS) extending the term from five years to 9194.2 ten years with two, five-year optional renewals. Director of Community Services Larry Pasco reported that this item requested the approval of the Second Amendment to Lease Agreement with Growth Opportunities Through Athletics, Learning and Service (GOALS), extending the term from 5 years to 10 years with two, five-year optional renewals. Mr. Pasco reported that since its formation in 1994, GOALS has served underprivileged area youth, ages 6-19, through various athletic, academic, and community service activities. In 1997, GOALS entered into a Lease Agreement with the City of Anaheim and is currently leasing two buildings north of La Palma Park for administrative offices and storage of program equipment. He also noted that GOALS has leased additional land north of the park and has constructed a Youth Sports Complex consisting of two tennis courts and a multi-purpose artificial turf sports field, a community garden, a second Community Sports Complex consisting of basketball and volleyball courts, a running track, and two portable trailers for academic enrichment activities. Mr. Pasco reported that Anaheim's youth and the City have greatly benefited from the partnership with the GOALS organization. The GOALS organization has approached the City with a request for a longer term of this existing agreement, which will help their fundraising efforts, which will help sustain and grow their services. DISCUSSION: Council Member Brandman stated that he was very grateful to GOALS for their work over the last 20 years in the community. Mr. Pasco reported the City signed an agreement with GOALS in August 2015 with three (3) options to extend, in response to Council Member Brandman's inquiry. He clarified that the current five-year term would conclude in 2022 and with this new agreement if approved, would start a new ten-year term in 2019 with two possible five- year extensions. Council Member Brandman expressed concern with extending this lease in light that it was not in alignment with the Anaheim Parks Master Plan. Mr. Pasco advised that the Master Plan included plans to renovate the western side of the existing La Palma Park which will create more soccer fields. He felt that the termination clause in the agreement allows the City to execute the clause with a 240-day notice and the GOALS organization would be required to find another home. Mr. Pasco clarified that both the City and GOALS have the exclusive right to the five-year extension. City Attorney Robert Fabela advised that he has not looked into that term, but felt that both parties need mutual agreement to extend and does not see that the City has an exclusive right to extend. Council Member Brandman flet that extending this lease gets the City further away from the highest and best use in light of the Anaheim Parks Master Plan that was passed in 2017. He believed the City should retain their exclusive rights to extend the agreement. City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 14 of 19 Mr. Pasco advised the public was allowed to use the soccer fields built by GOALS, in response to Mayor Pro Tern Kring's inquiry. Mayor Pro Tem Kring requested that Mr. Pasco inquire about the use of the soccer fields by other soccer organizations in the community. Mr. Pasco advised that the term of the lease re-sets once approved by City Council and clarified that it would be a 10-year agreement beginning in 2019 with two (2) five-year extensions. Mr. Fabela briefly reviewed the agreement and believed that it seemed that the agreement would start in 2015 but he reserved the right to review the language. He recommended that the City Council make itself clear in its adoption of the amendment. Mr. Pasco advised that approximately 3,000 youth are served by GOALS on a monthly basis and that any youth can participate in their programs, in response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry. Council Member Moreno felt that it was a shame that City Council has inquired more about this lease extension than the Angels Stadium lease extension. Council Member Faessel advised that he supports GOALS and was happy that the City has a 240-day termination clause. He was concerned with the exclusivity of the contract extension. Mr. Fabela viewed this as a mutual option and noted, in the original contract, the City had the exclusive option to extend the contract where as written today, it would be a mutual option. Mr. Pasco was under the impression that nothing was changed for mutual vs. non-mutual extension of the contract, per Council Member Faessel's inquiry. Mr. Fabela advised that the City still has the right to not extend the contract in the future, in response to Council Member Faessel's inquiry. MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve the Second Amendment to Lease Agreement with GOALS extending the term from five years to ten years with two, five-year optional renewals as amended to clarify the 10-year term starts upon execution of the Second Amendment, seconded by Council Member Moreno. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 5: Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Moreno, Faessel, and O'Neil); NOES — 1: (Council Member Brandman); ABSENT— 1: (Council Member Barnes). Motion carried. 16. Waive Council Policy 4.1 and authorize the City Manager to enter into an Appraisal AGR 11413 Service Agreement with Norris Realty Advisors, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, to assist in negotiations with Angels Baseball, LP. Mayor Sidhu noted that he was excited that the City has worked to try to keep Angels Baseball in Anaheim for another 50 years. He also felt that the City should focus on the long-term benefit to Anaheim and supported this agenda item. Executive Director for Convention, Sports & Entertainment Department Tom Morton presented the staff report to City Council. He reported it was staff's recommendation that City Council, by Motion, waive Council Policy 4.1 and authorize the City Manager to enter into an Appraisal Service Agreement with Norris Realty Advisors to assist in negotiations with Angels Baseball, LP in an amount not to exceed $100,000. Mr. Morton advised that in order to obtain knowledge of the land, the Community and Economic Development Department reached out to three exemplary appraisal entities which included City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 15 of 19 Norris Realty Advisors, Cushman and Wakefield, and Integra Realty Services. He advised that Norris Realty had the best financial proposal. Mr. Morton shared that Steve Norris majored in Economics at UCLA and subsequently became a member of the Appraisal Institute, Counselors of Real Estate, and member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. For the past 18 years, he has been the principal of Norris Realty Advisors, a commercial real estate valuation and consulting firm. Mr. Morton advised that Norris Realty Advisors' valuation of the Stadium site will take place under two distinct scenarios which include Continuing Stadium Use and Site Redevelopment. Using these two scenarios, Norris Realty Advisors will conduct an appraisal of the Fee Simple Interest in the Property and the Leasehold Interest in the Property, considering a proposed long- term ground lease which would include development rights for the property. When the agreement was finalized, staff will provide Council notification via memorandum and post the agreement on the City's dedicated Stadium website, Anaheim.net/BigA. Director of Community and Economic Development John Woodhead advised that Norris Reality was adept at dealing with factors that go beyond a mere appraisal. Mr. Morton advised that they were discussing investigating doing a structural assessment. DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno was concerned about not moving forward doing a structural assessment and Mr. Morton advised that the value of the stadium condition assessment was not happening at this time. Woodhead advised that it would be very complicated to complete an assessment of that nature. Council Member Moreno requested that a stadium condition assessment be completed and would like all scenarios reviewed. Mr. Morton advised that they will bring it up with Norris Realty to determine how to move forward with the assessment. Mr. Woodhead advised that Norris Realty was only tasked with completing the appraisal, but they can be part of the negotiating team should the City require their expertise, in response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry. Mr. Morton advised that the target timeframe for completion is 90 days, per Council Member Moreno's inquiry. Mr. Morton advised that a different company was completing the appraisal than from 2013, in response to Council Member Faessel's inquiry. Council Member Faessel stated that he believed a structural assessment may be a necessary part of the negotiating process in the future and would insist upon it in the future. City Manager Chris Zapata concurred that a structural assessment may be necessary in the future. Mayor Pro Tern Kring advised that all of the other assessments being discussed will raise the appraisal costs of $100,000. She believed that Angels Baseball wanted to stay in Anaheim and she supported the agenda item as it stood today. Mr. Woodhead advised that this was a real estate appraisal and stadium in place meant that there were a number of assumptions that roll out of that impact of the remaining real estate, in response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry. City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 16 of 19 Mr. Woodhead advised that there were a number of scenarios that the appraiser has not been asked to review until it was necessary. Mr. Zapata advised that this was not a simple transaction and Major League Baseball also has strict rules. He suggested that City Council approve this agenda item as a start to the assessment for the public. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring moved to waive Council Policy 4.1 and authorize the City Manager to enter into an Appraisal Service Agreement with Norris Realty Advisors, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, to assist in negotiations with Angels Baseball, LP, seconded by Council Member Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 6: Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Brandman, Moreno, Faessel, and O'Neil); ABSENT — 1: Council Member Barnes). Motion carried. 19. Review of all City Council appointed boards and commissions, which includes discussion B105 and direction to staff relating to any modification to any of the city boards/commissions. DISCUSSION: Acting City Clerk Theresa Bass reported that this was item was a request by Council Member Moreno to review all City Council appointed boards and commissions with a subsequent request by Mayor Pro Tem Kring to specifically review the Youth Commission. Ms. Bass advised that the City currently has eleven (11) boards and commissions on which citizens serve and make recommendations to the City Council. City commissions vary in size, with the largest commission consisting of twenty-one members, the Youth Commission, and the smallest consisting of five members, all of whom serve at the pleasure of the City Council. She advised that the staff report provided descriptions that briefly outline the role and responsibilities of each commission, along with their structure and meeting history. Ms. Bass advised that each commission has a staff liaison that provides support and guidance to the commission so they can have effective meetings, comply with regulations, and work within the scope of the commission's mission. During the initial board or commission meeting for newly appointed members, staff liaisons orientate members on the purpose, scope of responsibility, and the role of the commission including a review of the Brown Act, agendas, public communication, meeting minutes, Robert's Rules of Order, and the ordinance that governs the respective commission. Ms. Bass advised that staff liaisons bring forward items that are pertinent to the purpose and scope of the commission and as required by regulation or code. Commission members are also able to set an item for the agenda by contacting the staff liaison prior to the distribution and posting of the agenda. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring suggested that City Council look at the various commissions that have had meetings cancelled due to lack of quorum and reassess their meeting schedules and value to the community. Specifically, she suggested reducing meetings for the Budget, Investment & Technology Commission from six to four meeting per year. Mayor Pro Tem Kring spoke about the Youth Commission and felt that the 21 members was too large and an age range from 14-26 was too broad of an age difference. She advised that there were four (4) meetings cancelled due to lack of quorum. She would like to see the commission City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 17 of 19 to be reduced to seven (7) members and reduce the ages from 14-20 instead of 26 and look at the time-commitments of appointees. Council Member Faessel believed that boards and commissions play a significant part in the community and he would have liked to have heard if there were specific commission members that were repeatedly unable to attend meetings and why, specifically on the Youth Commission. Ms. Bass advised that the attendance policy states that if any commissioner misses three (3) consecutive board meetings or five (5) or more meetings within a 12-month period it will be forwarded to the City Clerk for Council consideration of removing the member, per Council Member O'Neil's inquiry. Council Member O'Neil suggested tightening up the attendance policy and agreed with Mayor Pro Tern Kring on her proposals but would like to consider downgrading the Youth Commission to a less formal advisory body. Council Member Moreno thanked Ms. Bass for her report, was looking for ways to empower commissions, and noted that the most attended commissions were those that have power. He was open and amenable to re-structuring the Youth Commission but did not support shrinking it down to seven (7) members. He suggested that potential Council committee work should be pushed to the appropriate commission. Lastly, he inquired about the removal process of a committee member and Ms. Bass advised that it was based on a majority vote of City Council. Mayor Pro Tern Kring advised that appointed members should be doing the work to attend the meetings, however, if a committee member has missed multiple meetings there should be a remedy to the absence. Council Member Moreno suggested that staff survey commissioners about their attendance and begin a discussion about agenda setting. He also suggested a half-day orientation about proper procedures for new commission members, so commission time was not spent on orientation. Council Member Brandman noted that the Community Services Board specifically requires consistence attendance. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kring moved to re-look at the Youth Commission, reduce it to seven (7) members, agesl4-20, and make it an advisory board, per Community Services Director Larry Pasco's recommendations, seconded by Council Member O'Neil. DISCUSSION: Ms. Bass advised that the suggested changes to the Youth Commission proposed by Mr. Pasco included reducing the number of appointed commissioners to at least seven (7) members to align with the other boards and commissions, reduce the age category to from 14-26 to 14-20, and downgrade the Anaheim Youth Commission to a less formal advisory body to meet monthly with age eligibility ranging from 14-20. Council Member Moreno stated that he could not support the motion as downgrading the Youth Commission to an advisory commission lessened the voice of Anaheim's youth. Council Member Brandman felt that taking the board from twenty-one (21) to seven (7) did not represent the youth in the Anaheim and believed fourteen (14) was better. He did not feel that making changes today was of any benefit. City Council Minutes of February 19, 2019 Page 18 of 19 Council Member Faessel suggested that the Youth Commission be simplified to 14 members and keeping it as a commission with the caveat that representatives be afforded the opportunity to attend. Council Member O'Neil was comfortable with 14 members on the Youth Commission but would like to see it become an advisory committee. City Attorney Robert Fabela advised that City Council was unable to consider a substitute motion. Mr. Pasco advised the Youth Commission has had five (5) meetings and that any changes would be in the middle of the commission year. Mr. Fabela advised that any changes to the Youth Commission would need to be changed through an ordinance that would come back to Council for consideration at a later date. Council Member Brandman suggested the Youth Commission be limited to 14 members and stay a commission for six (6) months where it can be reviewed at that time. Mr. Pasco advised that he will provide a list of attendees to the Youth Commission meetings via memorandum, in response to Mayor Pro Tem Kring's inquiry. AMENDED MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring amended her original motion to reduce the Youth Commission to a 14-member commission and a review after six (6) months to reduce to an advisory committee if quorum not met, seconded by Council Member Brandman. DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno suggested that a Council Committee be formed to discuss this issue. Council Member O'Neill did not support the motion on the table due to the six-month review period. Council Member Brandman suggested that the issue come back in 60 days. Mayor Pro Tern Kring withdrew her original motion and moved to create an ad hoc subcommittee and bring back the item in 60 days. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring moved to create an ad hoc subcommittee of Mayor Pro Tem Kring and Council Members Brandman and Moreno to bring back recommendations in 60 days, seconded by Council Member Brandman. APPROVED VOTE: AYES — 6: (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Brandman, Moreno, Faessel, and O'Neil); ABSENT — 1: (Council Member Barnes). Motion carried.
