related to events in Colorado.
Council Member Valencia offered condolences to Mayor Pro Tem Faessel. He acknowledged the horrific
tragedies that occurred across the country in Colorado and in Atlanta, with hate against the Asian
community. He noted receiving a letter from Garden Grove Mayor Pro Tem Kim Nguyen requesting
consideration of April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), reported he spoke with Mayor Pro
Tem Nguyen about this issue across the county, and shared that there is only one rape crisis center in
the county. He asked to agendize a resolution observing April as SAAM for the next Council meeting,
concurred by Council Members Diaz and Brandman. He reported that last weekend he participated in
the Anaheim Beautiful event recognizing the winners of the 2020 holiday lights contest. He congratulated
the winners and looked forward to this year’s participants. He encouraged residents to continue to
practice social distancing, wear masks, and get the vaccine when able.
Mayor Pro Tem Faessel reported three Anaheim treasures were lost over the last few weeks and
requested the meeting adjourn in their memory: 1) Pat Pina, original founder of Anaheim Beautiful and
local businesswoman who championed many Anaheim programs and was awarded the Sally White
Award by Anaheim Beautiful in 2016; 2) Reverend Father Charles Fitzpatrick, St. Boniface and Mater Dei
graduate and Catholic priest in Canada; and 3) his own sister Joan Marie Gardner, St. Boniface and
Anaheim High School graduate who raised her family in Anaheim. He noted the equipment donation to
Penjamo, Mexico was completed last week with the delivery of a trash packer truck. He noted his staff
attended the virtual Coffee with a Cop event, he participated in a three cities water meeting with Council
Member Brandman to discuss common interests, and his attendance at the St. Anthony / Memorial Care
vaccination site last Friday where 325 of the most impacted neighbors were served. He also noted his
attendance with Council Member Valencia at the Anaheim Beautiful holiday lights awards at Pearson
Park. He acknowledged the Museum of Make-Believe and their recent virtual puppetry show. He
wished all a blessed Easter and Passover to celebrate this time of happiness and joy and stay safe.
Council Member O’Neil offered condolences to Mayor Pro Tem Faessel and his family. He requested a
future agenda item to direct staff to research and present options, whether by resolution, ballot measure,
or any other method, to direct the tax revenue, or portion of it, to paying any bonds issued through
tonight’s action once the Resort bonds are paid off, concurred by Council Members Diaz and Valencia.
9 March 23, 2021
Council Member Brandman offered condolences and prayers to Mayor Pro Tem Faessel and his wife,
Susan. He thanked Mayor Pro Tem Faessel for bringing up the three cities water meeting, noted the
cities had never been more aligned and enthusiastic about helping each other, thanked Fullerton and
Santa Ana for their partnership, and looked forward to working together toward the greater good. He
requested a reaffirmation of the resolution from May 12, 2020 standing in solidarity with the Asian
American community and denouncing discrimination, concurred by Council Member O’Neil and Mayor
Pro Tem Faessel. He stated March 27 is the beginning of Passover and wished all a good Passover and
a happy Easter.
Mayor Sidhu acknowledged the strong judgement and tough decision of the Council to address the
budget crisis with tonight’s action and looked forward to brighter days to come as parks open up, the
Stadium opens soon, and hopefully the Convention Center and Honda Center in the near future to bring
back visitors. He asked residents to continue efforts to bring COVID-19 numbers to allow everyone to be
vaccinated by wearing masks, keeping distance, washing hands, and sanitizing. He recommended
supporting local restaurants and stores. He thanked all staff for their efforts. He encouraged all to
celebrate Easter and Passover with small gatherings.
