Council Communications/Agenda Requests:
Council Member Moreno expressed to the hardest hit areas of Anaheim to continue to be vigilant with
social distancing, wearing masks, and washing hands and noted there was a light at the end of the
tunnel due to vaccines. He stated his office would continue to advocate to the Orange County
Supervisors and legislators the prioritization of the hardest hit areas of the city to bring vaccines to the
workers, educators, and seniors in the hardest hit areas. He requested two agenda items: 1) a resolution
declaring May 29 as Anaheim Graduates Day to honor high school graduates, college/university
graduates, and promotees at all Anaheim schools; and 2) a proclamation declaring April 2021 as Sexual
Assault Awareness Month, as requested by Casa De La Familia (both requests failed for lack of
concurrences). With the openings of the Resort and surrounding businesses in April and some school
districts returning to on-campus instruction following Spring Break, he asked all to be mindful and hoped
there would not be another COVID-19 surge.
Council Member Diaz reported he met virtually last Friday with Magnolia School District Superintendent
Dr. Frank Donovan and learned about the wonderful classes, programs, trainings, and recognitions held
throughout the pandemic. He congratulated all the district teachers and staff and wished them luck as
they prepare to re-open campuses in April. He announced March 7-13 as Orange County Restaurant
Week, and encouraged all to support local restaurants by dining outside or ordering take out, with more
information available at: www.ocrestaurantweek.com. He congratulated Karen Clark Yamamoto, Western
High School Social Science Department Chairperson, for her recognition for excellence in teaching by
the California Council of Economics Education.
Council Member Valencia requested the meeting adjourn in memory of Maestro Gabriel Barrios Zavala,
long time Anaheim resident, creator of Rhythmo Mariachi Academy, and District 4 Senior Citizen
Commissioner, who died of complications due to COVID-19 on February 26, 2021. He thanked the
Anaheim Police Department for providing bilingual resources on the city’s website and social media
platforms regarding the recent uptick in fraud trends. He thanked the Community Services and Public
Works Departments for hosting a virtual meeting for the Haster/Orangewood neighborhood, and the
entire City team for their incredible work serving the community. He acknowledged improving numbers,
but stated we were not yet out of the pandemic and recommended safety precautions continue to be
followed and encouraged all to obtain vaccines. He wished all a happy belated International Women’s
Day.
Mayor Pro Tem Faessel acknowledged it had been nearly a year since he was in the Council Chamber
for a meeting and it was an honor to be back serving with his former and new colleagues. In addition to
Maestro Zavala, he requested the meeting adjourn in memory of Mario Cuevas Zamora, Consul of
Mexico based in Santa Ana; Jim Wingert, co-founder of Anaheim Glass; and Joseph Trejo, long-time
Anaheim Union High School District employee and St. Anthony Claret parishioner who died due to
COVID-19. Mayor Pro Tem Faessel thanked John Woodhead, Community and Economic Development
Director, for his almost 25 years of service to the City and welcomed Grace Stepter as the Interim
Director. He wished Council Member Brandman an early Happy Birthday. He announced the closure of
Anaheim Brewery at the end of the month and thanked Greg and Barbara Gerovac for their 20 years of
service to Anaheim, wishing them well in retirement. He reported his participation in a Ball/Sunkist project
webinar on February 17 and thanked residents for calling in; a donation by the Apartment Association of
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) units to Higher Ground at Lincoln School on February 19; and the
virtual kick-off of the YMCA project on Manchester on February 19. He thanked all residents for
participating in the District 5 webinar with Neighborhood Services and reported he presented to the
7 March 9, 2021
Rotary Club on Anaheim’s history and Rudy Boysen. He congratulated all women on International
Women’s Day.
Mayor Sidhu reported there was good news this week but everyone should still keep their guards up to
keep Anaheim safe and get out of the pandemic. He acknowledged the toll it was taking on families,
friends, and children. He thanked all the City staff for their hard work, especially with the vaccine PODs,
and encouraged everyone to have patience in finally getting out of the pandemic.
