He offered thoughts to Santa Ana Council Member Hernandez and his family and reported the incident would undergo an extensive review. He also noted the purpose of the City Manager's Update is for the City Manager to provide brief announcements about items across the City and clarifying questions should be limited to items presented to avoid violations of the Brown Act.

He also announced the Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) hosted the Subaru of America National Business Conference in September during which Subaru donated over 600 new bikes to the Boys and Girls Club, along with other donations. Additionally, he noted the ACC was named one of North America's 30 best venues for tradeshows and events and received Exhibitor Magazine's 2022 Center of Excellence Award for the third consecutive year. Council Member Moreno requested clarification that questions and brief responses, but no substantive discussion, violated the Brown Act, to which City Attorney Rob Fabela responded that was generally correct, as there could be no discussion of issues not on the agenda, brief reports with no discussion were fine, and the Brown Act was silent on eliciting further information.

Mr. Vanderpool shared that he and Police Chief Cisneros provided available information to the City Council via email and the subject would not be agendized.

What was the purpose in smoking him out of his vehicle, what was the plan/expectation for when he exited the vehicle, why was that decision made at 10:00 P.M.? Was there imminent danger? Once the SWAT team was engaged, were de-escalation efforts continued or discontinued and is SWAT the appropriate officers/unit to engage in mental health breakdowns?
