Council Communications/Agenda Requests:
Mayor Pro Tem Faessel requested the meeting adjourn in memory of Ron Dominguez, known as Mr.
Disneyland; James Bedrosian, Salvation Army chaplain; and retired Orange County Sheriff Sandra
Hutchens. He noted his attendance at a community meeting on December 16 regarding a property on
East Street and thanked Covenant House for reaching out to meet with the community. He reported the
goodbye parade for former Community Services Director Larry Pasco on December 17 and wished him
well in retirement. He also noted he toured the Canyon Power Plant on December 21 with City Manager
Jim Vanderpool and Public Utilities General Manager Dukku Lee.
Council Member Diaz reported the previous day was National Human Trafficking Awareness Day,
encouraged everyone to learn the signs to identify trafficking victim and to visit
www.ochumantrafficking.com, acknowledged the work of the Anaheim Police Department in this area,
and referred victims and those who may know victims to contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline
at 1-888-373-7888. Specifically addressing District 1 and Beach Boulevard, he encouraged residents to
“see something, say something” and report to the Police Department at 714-765-1900. He
recommended residents visit the Community Services Department online at www.anaheim.net for the
Your Community/Tu Comunidad publication listing resources. He announced the virtual ribbon-cutting
ceremony on January 13 for the Be Well Orange Campus, offering mental health and substance abuse
treatment services and addressing homelessness.
Council Member Brandman wished everyone a happy new year, expressed his gratitude for being
present at the meeting and seeing colleagues and staff, offered thoughts and prayers to those who have
suffered from COVID and those who passed due to its complications, welcomed his new colleagues to
the dais and looked forward to working with them, and encouraged all to stay vigilant and wear masks.
Council Member Moreno requested the meeting adjourn in memory of Anaheim residents and brother
Nestor and Bulmaro Alvarez and Anaheim High School freshman Rodney Moore. He noted
GoFundMe.com accounts had been opened to support both families. He requested to agendize
discussion and possible action of the formal designation of Little Arabia around Brookhurst Street in west
Anaheim, acknowledging the small businesses assisting with commerce and economic recovery in that
area (request failed for lack of concurrences). He requested Mayor Sidhu consider agendizing the item
under his own authority. He asked everyone to stay safe.
Council Member Valencia hoped everyone had a safe and good holiday season. While recognizing the
impact of COVID on the nation, he addressed the disheartening and unacceptable actions in
Washington, D.C. against democracy and hoped Americans would unite and exercise their First
10 January 12, 2021
Amendment rights in a responsible manner. He encouraged everyone to practice self -care as they
process current events and wished everyone health and prosperity in 2021.
Council Member O’Neil noted that, under State law, the City could not regulate the separation of State-
licensed facilities. However, he requested an agenda item, prior to the return of the continued public
hearing, to look at separation requirements for those facilities the City can regulate to preserve
neighborhoods and address potential saturation (concurred by Mayor Pro Tem Faessel and Council
Member Moreno).
Mayor Sidhu noted the importance of continuing to follow best health care practices as vaccines continue
to be rolled out on a larger scale and encouraged everyone to continue to protect themselves, their
families, and their neighbors. He encouraged all to visit the City’s website for the latest information,
including when it would be their turn for vaccination. He thanked staff for making the meeting possible,
with health safeguards. He noted that local governments are closest to the people and provide services
that directly affect the lives of residents. He addressed the non-partisanship of City Council positions,
and how the transition of power in Anaheim in December occurred smoothly and peacefully even with
different types of outcomes in each race. He referred to his background as an immigrant, shared by other
Council Members, and spoke against the attack on the U.S. Capitol as an attack against democracy
everywhere. He noted American democracy was sacred and the beauty of the United States is that
people can passionately engage and advocate for their beliefs without resorting to violence. He stated
democracy was bigger than any one and that they honor by leading with humility and passing the torch
with dignity, condemning the events of last week, and that violence, insurgence, and attempts to overturn
the results of elections have no place in the country. He asked to adjourn the meeting in recognition of
the brave people who stood up to the attack and carried out and fulfilled their duty to peacefully transition
power. He appointed Council Members O’Neil and Valencia to be part of an advisory committee to
determine how the City will spend CARES Act funds.
Adjournment: 8:32 P.M. in memory of Ron Dominguez, James Bedrosian, Sandra
Hutchens, Will Blunt, Keith Rickey, Nestor Alvarez, Bulmaro Alvarez, Rodney
Moore, and in recognition of those who upheld their duty and stood up to the
attack at the Capitol.
