commenced this evening as residents entered the Council Meeting. Mr. Garcia reported the goal
of the City is to make all public spaces safe for residents, guests, and employees and the new
safety measures were not the result of any incident but rather a result of an internal safety audit.
The internal safety audit was conducted by the City Executive Safety Committee consisting of the
City Manager and key Department Heads, including the Police and Fire Chiefs. The new safety
procedures were introduced to the public this evening with the intent to fully implement the safety
screening process at the next Council meeting, which are similar to safety/security procedures
used at other agencies, government buildings, and sporting events.

preceding 12-month period, plus an incentive fee program of 20% of the adjusted net
operating income on the excess above the threshold of $2,000,000, to provide Golf Course
Operation Services and Golf Course Maintenance Services at Anaheim Hills Golf Course,
and Golf Course Operation Services, Golf Course Maintenance Services, and Food &
Beverage Services at Dad Miller Golf Course, with an initial term starting January 1, 2020
and ending on February 9, 2024 and two optional five-year renewal terms; authorize the

to implement and administer the agreement; and authorize de minimis changes that do not
substantially change the terms and conditions of the Agreement, so long as such changes
are determined to be de minimis by the City Attorney and Risk Manager.
Director of Community Services Larry Pasco provided the staff report and advised the item was to
approve an agreement with American Golf Corporation Management LLC (AGC), to provide Golf
Course Operations Services and Golf Course Maintenance Services at Anaheim Hills Golf Course,
and Golf Course Operations Services, Golf Course Maintenance Services, and Food & Beverage
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 10 of 21
Services at Dad Miller Golf Course for an initial term starting January 1, 2020 and ending on
February 9, 2024.
Mr. Pasco advised the Community Services Department analyzed the existing golf course
management model currently in place at both the Dad Miller and the Anaheim Hills Golf Courses.
He advised that as a component of the analysis, staff consulted with various local municipalities to
look at industry trends for successful golf course management. He noted that staff also consulted
industry professionals in the public and private sectors.
Mr. Pasco reported that although there are several golf course management options, the municipal
golf industry has almost universally transitioned to "Fee-For-Service" (FFS) management
agreements. Under an FFS management agreement, the City receives all revenue from operations
and bears all operating expenses, including the fee to the management company for its services,
which is different from the current revenue sharing management model which is currently in place.
He advised that FFS agreements provide a high degree of control to the contracting entity, and the
term for FFS agreements are relatively short when compared to other management models.
Mr. Pasco advised that the role of the contractor in an FFS management agreement acts as the
City's agent in managing the City's golf properties. With this type of agreement, while all operating
expenses are borne by the City; conversely, all of the revenues also accrue directly to the City. He
noted that under an FFS agreement the management company receives a flat fee for the services
provided, which differs greatly from the revenue sharing model currently in place. He advised that
another attractive feature of an FFS management model is that one single entity manages all
aspects of the operation of both courses, compared with the current model in which the City has
multiple operators who are singularly focused on one aspect of the course operation. Lastly, he
noted that the FFS model has proven to be more economical and successful for golf operations,
with a much greater financial return to the contracting entity.
Mr. Pasco reported the Community Services Department issued an RFP to highly qualified golf
course management firms on July 16, 2019, provided a brief overview of the selection process,
and advised the evaluation committee ranked AGC as the top-rated management company. He
noted the agreement calls for a four-year and one-month term from January 1, 2020 to February 9,
2024, which coincides with the term for the separate existing food & beverage agreement at
Anaheim Hills Golf Course. Lastly, he noted that, at the discretion of the City and predicated on
City Council approval, two five-year options may be exercised.
Mr. Pasco reported the base management fee for AGC's management services will be $130,000
per year and includes an incentive fee program for the operating contractor as additional
compensation. Lastly, he reported that staff believes that the transition from a revenue sharing
management model to a Fee-For-Service management model will significantly increase the
potential for increased revenue at Anaheim golf courses which will help fund needed capital
improvements and deliver an improved product to Anaheim's golf patrons.
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Pasco clarified the incentive
fee is 20% of adjusted net operating income, as defined in the agreement, on the excess above
the threshold of $2,000,000. He also advised that City has been breaking even on revenue for the
golf courses over the last five to seven years.
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 11 of 21
Mr. Pasco further advised that extensions of the contract usually stay within the director's
discretion. He also advised the current operator is within its last extension option, which concludes
in 2024, and a new RFP would be opened for competition.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Pasco advised the operator's performance
would be evaluated as a whole and would happen continuously through the contract.
MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to approve an agreement with American Golf
Corporation Management, LLC, in substantial form, in the base management fee of$130,000 per
year for the first two years of the initial term and a negotiated base management fee for years
three and four of the initial term with changes not to exceed changes in the Orange County
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the preceding 12-month period, plus an incentive fee program of
20% of the adjusted net operating income on the excess above the threshold of $2,000,000, to
provide Golf Course Operation Services and Golf Course Maintenance Services at Anaheim Hills
Golf Course, and Golf Course Operation Services, Golf Course Maintenance Services, and Food &
Beverage Services at Dad Miller Golf Course, with an initial term starting January 1, 2020 and
ending on February 9, 2024 and two optional five-year renewal terms; authorize the Director of

D114 23. RESOLUTION NO. 2019-121 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

Adopt the updated Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, and determine that the
actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section
15061(B)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
City Engineer Carlos Castellanos provided the staff report, advising that in 2008, the City Council
adopted Council Policy 5.8 establishing the Anaheim Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
(NTMP). He advised the NTMP is a citywide initiative to provide citizens with a process to address
traffic safety-related issues in their neighborhood. He explained the current NTMP process in
which a resident initiates a request by submitting a Traffic Calming Petition (petition) requesting
City assistance to address traffic-related issues such as speeding, cut-through traffic, or other
traffic safety concerns within their neighborhood.
Mr. Castellanos advised that the City has received 132 petitions since the adoption of the NTMP in
2008, with 90 of those petitions completed. He advised that, as of today, there were a total of 42
traffic calming petitions, with nine active petitions and 33 petitions in the queue. Demand for the
NTMP has significantly increased over the last couple of years, with 55 petitions received during
the last 3.5 years (2016-2019).
Mr. Castellanos reported that with the additional Community Improvements fund the Public Works
Department was provided in October 2018, the Department has completed 33 traffic calming
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 12 of 21
petitions and anticipates completing an additional five petitions by the end of the fiscal year with
the remaining funds, for a total of 38 petitions.
Mr. Castellanos reported that due to the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, traffic
congestion, and technological advances such as Google Maps and Waze allowing cars to travel on
smaller streets more easily, more Anaheim neighborhoods were requesting the City's assistance
with calming.
Mr. Castellanos reported that in December 2018, the Public Works Department conducted a
procurement process for consultant services to perform a comprehensive update to the NTMP and
Council Policy 5.8. He advised that KOA, an industry leader in traffic engineering and traffic
calming, was selected as the consultant to perform the NTMP update.
Mr. Castellanos advised the recommendations included traffic data thresholds, a phased
approach, prioritization, streamlined petitions, speed lump implementation, website enhancements,
and online GIS mapping.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Sidhu expressed his support for this item and was excited to see the timeline
for processing requests will be cut in half.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Public Works Director Rudy Emami clarified that
the oldest application was received in 2016.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Castellanos advised that very few
applications have gone to Phase II improvements. Mr. Emami further clarified the City was moving
away from the first-come, first-served process and the process would look at the entire
neighborhood as a whole.
Mr. Emami further responded to Council Member Moreno, advising the district would only apply to
the parking issues and not the traffic calming issues. Council Member Moreno expressed
concerns regarding having no community meetings and suggested having at least one community
meeting. Mr. Emami responded that the current policy does not allow the City Engineer the
authority to make immediate Phase 1 improvements. He advised the new policy will allow the City
Engineer the authority to make immediate Phase 1 improvements but anything in Phase 2 would
require a community meeting.
In response to Council Member Moreno inquiry, Mr. Emami advised that residents can appeal an
adverse decision to the City Engineer, the Public Works Director and, if required, be brought back
to the City Council.
Mr. Emami further advised that funding will be vetted through the budget process.
In response to Council Member Faessel's inquiry, Mr. Emami advised this process will allow the
City to implement traffic calming measures regardless of that neighborhood's vote.
MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2019-121 A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM amending City Council
Policy 5.8 of the City Council Policy Manual relating to the Neighborhood Traffic Management
Program, and adopt the updated Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, and determine that
the actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 13 of 21
15061(B)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, seconded by Council Member
Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Barnes,
Brandman, Faessel, and O'Neil); NOES — 0. Motion carried.
D155 26. Review and discuss the proposed program guidelines for a new tenant-based rental
assistance program for seniors living in age restricted mobile home parks in the City of
Anaheim.
If Council desires to undertake the program:
Approve appropriation of$350,000 from the federal HOME Investment Partnerships
grant to fund the program and direct staff to implement the program.
Deputy City Manager David Belmer advised the item is a Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
Program (TBRA). Community and Economic Development Deputy Director Grace Stepter advised
that, at the request of Council Member Brandman, staff was asked to look at the possibility of
mimicking an item that was offered to City of Fullerton residents for seniors living in age-restricted
mobile home parks in the City of Anaheim.
Ms. Stepter advised that HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds are allocated to the City
annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and can be used to
fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing
for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to income-qualified individuals and
families. She advised the City currently has two tenant-based rental assistance programs:
Homeless Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP) and the Chronically Homeless Individuals Pilot
Program (CHIPP). She advised that seniors whose incomes are less than 80% of area median
income (AMI) would qualify for the program.
Ms. Stepter advised the City reviewed the City of Fullerton's program and felt it would work will in
Anaheim, which would identify seniors with the greatest need. She also advised the program
would be open to all qualifying seniors residing in age-restricted mobile home parks in the City of
Anaheim. She also advised the TBRA program for seniors in mobile home parks would be funded
entirely by Federal program funds awarded annually to the City of Anaheim, and the ability to
sustain the program was contingent on continued, level funding for the Federally-sponsored grant
program
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Brandman's inquiry, Ms. Stepter estimated that of
the $1,000,000 appropriation for the current TBRA programs that currently exist, $750,000 would
be used. She also advised the $1,000,000 appropriation was a rolling budget as the allocation
does not occur in alignment with the City's fiscal year calendar.
In response to Council Member Brandman's inquiry, Deputy City Manager David Belmer advised
that funds allocated to the potential TBRA would not be at the expense of the CHIPP or the HAPP
program and there would be no impact on any other programs. Ms. Stepter also clarified this would
assist 60-70 Anaheim residents.
Council Member Brandman expressed his support for the item and felt this solution was the best
way to move forward.
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 14 of 21
MOTION: Council Member Brandman moved to approve the appropriation of $350,000 from the
federal HOME Investment Partnerships grant to fund a new tenant-based rental assistance
program for seniors living in age restricted mobile home parks in the City of Anaheim and direct
staff to implement the program, seconded by Council Member Moreno.
DISCUSSION: Council Member O'Neil expressed concern for diverting HOME funds away from
other projects that could delay other housing projects for residents who do not have homes. He
felt that Anaheim could do better.
Mayor Pro Tem Kring suggested that the Section 8 application processed be opened to senior
mobile home residents for a two-week commitment and would provide a permanent solution.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring moved to table Item No. 26, seconded by Mayor
Sidhu.
DICUSSION: Mayor Sidhu thanked Council Member Brandman for bringing the item forward but
believed that Anaheim has different needs than Fullerton.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, City Attorney Robert Fabela advised the motion
on the table is the only item to be discussed but the previous item can be discussed if it is linked to
the tabling.
Council Member Moreno advised that he does not support the motion to table. In response to
Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Fabela advised the Mayor has discretion as the Chair to
allow debate as long as no one raises a point of order.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Stepter clarified that he did not directly ask if
additional TBRA funding was available nor did she offer that as a solution at the City Council
meeting on July 30, 2019.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Belmer clarified that $1,500,000 is received
by the City for HOME and can be spent on programs or projects and what is not spent on
programs is moved to projects. He further clarified that programs are for residents who are in
Anaheim already seeking housing and the projects are for building new housing where applicants
need to compete for those residences. Council Member Moreno stated that he could not support
the item as he believed using the stated funding would negatively impact existing projects and
programs. Council Member Moreno suggested that the funds come from the General Fund.
Council Member Barnes thanked Council Member Brandman for bringing up this item and
expressed her support for the item.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kring moved to table Item No. 26, seconded by Mayor
Sidhu. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES —4 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Faessel, and
O'Neil); NOES — 3 (Council Member Barnes, Brandman, and Moreno). Motion carried; item tabled.
D155 27. Review and discuss the implementation of a proposed new Senior Safety Pilot Program to
serve seniors living in the City of Anaheim.
If the Council desires to implement the program:
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 15 of 21
Approve use of Community Development Block Grant funds in an amount not to
exceed $45,000, Housing Set-Aside funds in an amount not to exceed $250,000,
and HOME Investment Partnership funds, in an amount not to exceed $350,000, for
all desired activities, direct staff to prepare program guidelines and identify
necessary staffing resources, which may include City staff and/ or Community
Based Organization partners to implement and administer such activities.
Community and Economic Development Deputy Director Grace Stepter reported the item is to
consider the implementation of a new Senior Safety Net Pilot Program to serve seniors living in the
City of Anaheim. She advised the Senior Safety Net Pilot Program includes case management
and/or resource navigation assistance, one-time or short-term intervention assistance with housing
costs and/or time-limited Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA). She clarified that the case
management component of the proposed program is an eligible expense under the public services
section of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Ms. Stepter advised that for the HOME program specifically, the use of funds for a TBRA purpose
is consistent with the general goals of the Consolidated Plan; however, implementation of the
proposed program would represent a substantial amendment to the Annual Action Plan recently
adopted outlining how Federal funds will be allocated in FY 2019-2020. She also advised that
should the Senior Safety Net Program include a TBRA component, staff must publish a 30-day
public notice allowing for public review of this change and submission of comments. She also
advised that at the end of the 30-day public comment period, a public hearing will be held by the
Housing and Community Development Board. Lastly, she advised this action must be completed
before the implementation of the program may proceed.
DISCUSSION: Council Member O'Neil reported that he brought the item to City Council because
of his passion for caring for seniors and making sure seniors can live independently for as long as
possible. He thanked Council Member Brandman for his advocacy on the issue.
MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve the implementation of a proposed new Senior
Safety Pilot Program to serve seniors living in the City of Anaheim and approve the use of
Community Development Block Grant funds in an amount not to exceed $45,000, Housing Set-
Aside funds in an amount not to exceed $250,000, and HOME Investment Partnership funds, in an
amount not to exceed $350,000, for all desired activities, direct staff to prepare program guidelines
and identify necessary staffing resources, which may include City staff and/ or Community Based
Organization partners to implement and administer such activities, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern
Kring.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Faessel advised he has 7,900 seniors in his district with over 51%
renting. He would like to see a more comprehensive package presented to City Council. He noted
he would like to see rental assistance provided to eligible seniors for a period not to exceed 24
months. He also expressed concern with limiting the item to only seniors in mobile home parks.
Council Member Brandman expressed concern that City Council cannot find a solution for all
seniors and felt the dais should have voted for Item No. 26. He would not be supporting this item.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Council Member O'Neil advised that Item No. 27
was not a recommendation from the Ad-Hoc Committee but did confirm that this would have been
an item discussed at the Ad-Hoc Committee.
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 16 of 21
Council Member Moreno agreed with Council Member Faessel that the issue is bigger than just
Rancho La Paz Mobile Home Park and expressed concern for other residents in Anaheim that may
face the same issue in the future. Council Member Moreno suggested that the funds come from
the General Fund and asked Council Member O'Neil for his support. Council Member O'Neill
suggested Council Member Moreno move to amend the motion should he want to use the General
Fund for the item.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Stepter advised the current proposed
funding would include $250,000 for short term assistance from the Housing SetAside Funds and
$350,000 for Time limit Tenant based Assistance from HOME Funds. She advised that parameters
that define hardships would need to be defined by City Council if extreme rent spikes were to be
included but which were not currently included.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to continue Item No. 27 until staff can
return with a full-fledged proposal, seconded by Council Member Brandman.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno questioned how many residents were eligible for the
program and how much funding would be required to cover all eligible residents. Motion withdrawn.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to call the question of the subsidiary
motion to continue Item No. 27, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Kring. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 3
(Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring and O'Neil); NOES —4 (Council Members Barnes,
Brandman, Moreno, and O'Neil). Motion failed.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno withdrew his subsidiary motion to continue Item No. 27.
Mayor Pro Tern Kring noted there were many seniors in Anaheim that were doing fine financially
and would not be needing the aid. She also felt that the new Rancho La Paz Mobile Home Park
owners were not rent gouging. She supported the Senior Safety Pilot Program but would like to
see this program work for all residents in Anaheim who may qualify for assistance.
In response to Council Member Faessel's inquiry, Council Member O'Neil advised that the time to
discuss extending the program from 12 to 24 months happens when staff brings back its
recommendation to City Council. In response to Council Member Faessel's inquiry, Deputy City
Manager David Belmer advised it would come back to City Council quickly for program
implementation in January. He also advised that retroactivity would be very complicated to
achieve with a HOME grant but can be reviewed.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Brandman moved to amend the original motion to
replace the language of Item No. 27 with the language and program guidelines of Item No. 26 with
funding to come from the General Fund rather than the Federal HOME Investment Partnerships
grant, seconded by Council Member Moreno.
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry Mr. Belmer advised that there was
potential to help residents sooner but he could not make that promise. He also clarified that if
General Fund dollars were used, the City could begin helping residents very quickly.
Council Member Barnes expressed her support for Council Member Brandman's proposal.
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 17 of 21
Council Member Moreno believed both Item Nos. 26 and 27 were worthwhile and they were not
mutually exclusive. He also believed this was worth the City using General Fund dollars.
Council Member O'Neil expressed his concern for using General Fund monies when other funding
sources were available for items like the one proposed.
In response to Council Member O'Neil's inquiry, Mr. Belmer advised that the HOME funding
requires the 30-day notice. Council Member O'Neil felt that 12-15 months was plenty of time for
residents to figure out other means of assistance and he did not want to extend the program to 24
months.
Council Member Barnes stated that Rancho La Paz Mobile Home Park residents were not doing
well and there were approximately 40 homes currently listed for sale in that park.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Brandman moved to amend the original motion to
replace the language of Item No. 27 with the language and program guidelines of Item No. 26 with
funding to come from the General Fund rather than the Federal HOME Investment Partnerships
grant, seconded by Council Member Moreno. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 3 (Council Members
Barnes, Brandman, and Moreno); NOES —4 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Faessel,
and O'Neil). Motion failed.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the original motion to substitute
General Fund dollars for the proposed funding in the presented item, seconded by Council
Member Brandman.
DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Pro Tem Kring's inquiry, Mr. Belmer advised this item was not
in the budget and would come from reserves.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Deputy City Manager Greg Garcia advised that
the $20 million of the proposed $250 million for "Anaheim First" was not available as it had not
been brought back to City Council. He clarified the funding would come from a borrowing action
and needed City Council approval.
SUBSIDIARY MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to amend the original motion to substitute
General Fund dollars for the proposed funding in the presented item, seconded by Council
Member Brandman. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 3 (Council Members Barnes, Brandman, and
Moreno); NOES —4 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring, Faessel, and O'Neil). Motion
failed.
MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve Item No. 27 as presented, seconded by
Mayor Pro Tern Kring. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 4 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Kring,
Faessel, and O'Neil); NOES — 2 (Council Members Barnes and Brandman); ABSTAIN -1 (Council
Member Moreno). Motion carried. (Note for record: Under Council Communications, Council
Member Moreno clarified and confirmed his vote to reflect an "Abstention"rather than a "No"vote).

PUBLIC HEARING:
P110 28. This is a public hearing to consider the vacation/abandonment of excess street right-of-way
generally located west of 1-5 freeway and east of Manchester Avenue at the intersection of
Adams Street for the development of Anaheim Transportation Network facilities.
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-122 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM vacating a portion of excess street right of way (Abandonment No.
ABA2019-00395).
Public Works Director Rudy Emami advised the abandonment has been requested by the
Community and Economic Development Department to clear title to the proposed abandoned
street right-of-way and assemble with the adjacent property consisting of four remnant parcels
from the I-5 freeway widening ("Manchester Sliver") for the development of Anaheim
Transportation Network (ATN) facilities as detailed in Purchase and Sale Agreements and Joint
Escrow Instructions (PSA) approved by City Council on July 30, 2019.
Mr. Emami advised that the affected portion of the street right-of-way under consideration for
abandonment is generally located west of the 1-5 freeway and east of Manchester Avenue, at the
intersection of Adams Street. This land is considered excess street right-of-way and not required
for public vehicular or pedestrian traffic since it was taken out of service after the 1-5 freeway
widening. Public utility easements will be reserved unto the City for existing electric and water
utilities.
Mayor Sidhu opened the public hearing.
William Fitzgerald, Home Owners Maintaining Our Environment, expressed concern regarding the
staff report and found it to be vague and felt that the sale was tied to political donors. He felt that
the Anaheim Transportation Network bus services were direct support to Disneyland. He also
expressed concern regarding the Senior Safety Net Program.
Peter Warner expressed concern with the Anaheim Transportation Network and felt that proper
cement sidewalks, curbs, and gutters should be incorporated as he did not see those improvement
included in the plan.
No public comments were offered from the teleconference location.
Mayor Sidhu closed the public hearing.
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Emami advised that the
action tonight was to follow through on previous City Council action on ATN's purchase of the
Manchester Sliver.
Council Member Faessel advised that the action today was simply a property action. Mr. Emami
advised that as part of the property development, the improvements requested by Mr. Warner
during public comments would be included.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Director of Community & Economic
Development John Woodhead advised that City was loaning money to ATN to buy the land
themselves. Mr. Emami clarified that the 2.5% is above market rate for City bonds but below
City Council Minutes of October 22, 2019
Page 19 of 21
market price. Council Member Moreno stated he could not support the item since they were using
public dollars for public land which could be viewed as a subsidy.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Woodhead advised that $2.42 million will be
paid back to the City over time. He also noted they were paying an interest rate that is above the
City's local area investment rate and below market but will be making up the difference over time
which means they will be paying fair-market value over time. Deputy City Manager David Belmer
clarified that the transaction is a seller-carried note and they are paying Net Present Value which
means they will be paying fair market value over time.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. Woodhead clarified the General Fund will
receive 14% of the monthly payment, as it is a Successor Agency parcel that includes payment to
the other taxing entities. Mr. Emami further clarified the monthly payment is $5,500 per month with
$770 per month going to the General Fund.
In response to Council Member Brandman's inquiry, Mr. Belmer advised the original staff report
language was not used in this staff report as it was simply an action to clear the title to complete
the sale.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Kring moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2019-122 A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM vacating a portion of excess
street right of way (Abandonment No. ABA2019-00395), seconded by Council Member O'Neil.

1) urgency and regular ordinances addressing a rent stabilization policy for mobile home parks of
3% plus CPI with a cap of 5% as previously introduced; 2) an urgency ordinance implementing a
