Prior to receipt of public comments, an outline of rules for public comments and a brief decorum
statement was provided by Ms. Bass.
David Klawe encouraged the City Council to approve Item No. 01 in support of Esther Wallace. He
advised the work she did for the Magnolia School District makes the sign near Maxwell Park a very
appropriate location. He expressed support for Item No. 06 and advised the Brookhurst Community
Center is used by both seniors and teens. He reported the new blue lights in west Anaheim are
awesome and noted they are helping residents.
Lindsay Tabaian reported she is representing the applicant for Item No. 03 and is available for
questions if necessary.
Wes Jones expressed opposition to Item No. 01 and noted it would need to be done for everyone if it
was done for one person. He expressed support for Item No. 11 and noted rental assistance is
needed desperately in the City, especially with the City Council denying voter -approved Measure L.
He inquired why there is no affordable housing included in Item No. 12 and expressed concern that
City Council has no will to introduce an affordable housing policy. He encouraged City Council to
officially designate Little Arabia.
Lisa Sartor reported she has been fighting with the Anaheim Housing Authority for ten (10) years to
get a place to live. She reported her son is disabled and advised she was dropped from the list in
2017 along with 300 other families due to lack of funds. She reported she is now living in her car and
noted she cannot get anyone from the City to return her call.
Vern Nelson reported it was the Santa Ana Police that locked Brandon Lopez's father in a police
vehicle when he was trying to negotiate with his son. He advised that Mr. Lopez's case would be
going to the California Attorney General under a new law because he was unarmed and he is afraid it
will cost the City a lot of money. He clarified that Council Member Valencia advised he never said he
was committed to supporting the designation for Little Arabia. He encouraged Council Member Ma'ae
to keep an open mind when it comes to the designation for Little Arabia. He does not understand why
the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce would not be in support of the designation. He encouraged City
Council to close the meeting in memory of Sandie Schwaiger unless it was done at the last meeting.
R. Joshua Collins reported Anaheim needs more walk-in shelters for the homeless and noted it is
sometimes difficult to get beds through CityNet. He expressed concern about Disney workers and
advised they were staging a protest on November 17 to protest wages. He encouraged City Council
to work quickly towards more affordable housing solutions.
Mark Richard Daniels requested City Council have a street fair in Little Arabia to introduce the area to
the community. He encouraged City Council to support Measure L and does not understand why
Disney is unable to provide a living wage.
Ronald Bengochea thanked the City Council members who attended the July 1 dedication of the
Veterans' Cemetery in Gypsum Canyon and thanked City Council for their support. He advised the
effort for the Veterans' Cemetery began in 1998 and he looked forward to it being built.
Mike Robbins encouraged City Council to support affordable housing. He expressed concern that
City Council has recently voted against projects that impact the homeless and advised they have the
homeless lives on their hands. He read the names of the homeless who have died in Anaheim and
encouraged City Council to consider housing first.

Jeanine Robbins expressed opposition to Item No. 01, as the City cannot give a designation for Little
Arabia. She understood that Council Member Ma'ae has met with Rashad AI-Dabbagh and hoped
she would agendize the item for discussion with support from Mayor Pro Tern Faessel and Council
Member Valencia who accepted campaign donations from businesses in Little Arabia. She recalled
Mayor Sidhu stating that Anaheim was open for business but believed he meant Anaheim is open for
business as long as that business is affiliated with the resort. She inquired on the Chamber of
Commerce's thoughts on the matter as they should not be limiting themselves to resort businesses
alone. She noted the City should not be funneling funds to an organization that is discriminatory in
nature and she did not agree that Disney has fulfilled the obligations of its Development Agreement
as they give a pittance to the City but recently raised admission and parking rates. She expressed
concern that resort employees are not making a living wage and announced there is a Disneyland
employee Town Hall on November 17 at the Sheraton Park Hotel and encouraged City Council and
residents to support the workers. She encouraged City Council to add a walk-in homeless shelter in
the City.
Mariafatima Varias, a junior at Oxford Academy, advised she is the founder of an organization called
`Smiles Brought to You' that provides academic support to minority students. She thanked Council
Member Moreno for his support. She noted she has been a confidant to students, has listened to
their struggles and concerns, and wants to do more. She expressed interest in the Anaheim Youth
Commission and feels it would be a way for her to give back to the community and be a part of the
solution for the Anaheim youth.
Paul Hyek encouraged City Council to allow churches to house the homeless during the winter and
rainy season. He requested new management for Mercy House and reported people are being
bussed into the shelter from Compton. He encouraged City Council to eliminate no walk-in shelters.
Cecil Jordan Corkern advised he is happy to hear that children have returned to in -person instruction.
He reported he has written the ultimate guide to Disney Parks and is writing security reports for
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's operations. He advised Governor Newsom has indicated
California is not out of the woods with the pandemic yet and noted vaccines would soon be available
for children.
Bryan Kaye reported he attended the Police Review Board and was told they did not like the
language he used in the report. He clarified that he was not the one who saying it but he was merely
reporting it. He advised Mayor Sidhu has not met with him and has provided evidence to City Council
of his harassment by Anaheim Police Officers. He advised he would not go away and encouraged
City Council to resolve his case.
Rebecca K-S reported she is a homeless and housing advocate, reported she only works with
voucher holders, and would leave her name and number for Ms. Sartor. She reported Fullerton is
talking about shutting down their shelter and noted that would affect Anaheim and her city of Buena
Park. She expressed concern regarding the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
numbers for low- and very -low-income residents and noted 3,000 units is not enough.
Kenneth Batiste encouraged City Council to agendize the discussion for Little Arabia. He advised
the City is $1 billion in debt and encouraged City Council to consider a gate tax on the resort. He
believed City Council was destroying the residents of Anaheim with Short Term Rentals and group
homes in neighborhoods. He advised schools in District 6 are in the Orange Unified School District.
He encouraged City Council to support rent control.

Elizabeth Gonzalez reported she has been working at Disneyland for approximately five (5) years.
She advised it is urgent that resort workers receive the representation they deserve. She noted many
employees are facing housing issues due to a lack of a fair wage. She advised Disney is now
bargaining in bad faith and is pressuring workers into taking a bad deal. She encouraged City Council
to help get Measure L respected so they can afford to live and noted City Council and Disney need to
do better for resort workers.
CITY MANAGER'S UPDATE:
City Manager Jim Vanderpool reported the City's Ambulance Program is phasing in since September
3, 2021, with the hiring of 18 full-time and 15 part-time ambulance operators, many of whom are
Anaheim residents as well as veterans and college students. He advised the program has been
fielding calls and visits on a weekly basis from area cities looking to copy the program. He reported
the ambulances have responded to nearly 3,000 emergency responses, 56 special event standbys,
and 380 surge hours, with a higher level of service, training the youth of Anaheim, and saving the City
money. He congratulated the Human Resources Department for hosting the Annual Health Expo,
and employees for exceeding the Red Cross goal by donating over 57 units of blood at the blood
drive held that day, saving over 170 lives.
In response to Council Member Moreno, Mr. Vanderpool reported the City is monitoring issues in
surrounding cities with providing services to the homeless and vulnerable populations and would look
to see how Anaheim could address any increased needs and what the potential impacts could be.

engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program.

DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno acknowledged the incredible work done by Ms. Wallace. He
advised they spent hours talking about districts, which she did not support until the very end when
she realized how it would benefit west Anaheim given they had not had representation in 22 years.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Assistant City Manager Greg Garcia explained this
item was initiated by the Magnolia School District to which Ms. Wallace served for 30 plus years. He
advised staff thought it was worthy enough to bring to City Council given all of her efforts and work in
west Anaheim. He clarified it is not a renaming of a street but an honorary sign that would go in a
drive alley that sits between Maxwell Park and the Magnolia School District offices. He advised the
City does not have a policy for honorary signs and noted there is a separate process for renaming
parks.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiries, Mr. Garcia explained this process was simpler
because it was not a street renaming. He advised this is an honorary sign similar to tree plantings or
bench plaques and does not have a formal process. He noted since this was an honorary sign, they
took the recommendation of the sign, talked about it at a staff level, and felt it was worthy of bringing
to City Council for consideration. He confirmed most tree plantings are done through Anaheim
Beautiful and do not normally come to City Council. He would need to investigate the process for
bench plaques.
Council Member Moreno advised he supports the intent but noted he has been in meetings and
conversations with the late Ms. Wallace that raised eyebrows. He advised he would abstain from the
item because he did not feel it was appropriate to initiate it in this manner without having a clear
policy. He expressed concern that this would set a policy and criteria and exclude people who are
equally as deserving of such an honor.
Mayor Sidhu advised it was an honor to present the honorary sign to Ms. Wallace. He reported she
was a great leader and a great supporter of west Anaheim and noted it is where it is today because of
her efforts.
MOTION: Council Member Diaz moved to authorize an honorary sign near Maxwell Park to honor
Anaheim resident, Esther Wallace, seconded by Council Member Ma'ae. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES -
6 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Diaz, Ma'ae, Valencia, and O'Neil); NOES — 0;
ABSTAIN — 1 (Council Member Moreno). Motion carried.
Council Member Moreno requested a combined discussion of Item Nos. 03, 08, 10, and 12.
AGR-12085 3. Determine, on the basis of the evidence submitted by KNT I Enterprises, LLC, that the
property owner has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of Development
Agreement No. 2019-00001 for the 2021 review period for the 1600 West Lincoln Avenue
mixed -use project (Mills Ford Site) (continued from Council meeting of October 26, 2021, Item
No. 06).
AGR-13190 8. Approve the Final Map and Subdivision Agreement with AG Essential Housing CA 3, L.P. for
Tract No. 19017 located at 1621-1699 Lincoln Avenue, to establish a one lot subdivision for
condominium purposes to construct 115 attached, single family condominium units (continued
from Council meeting of October 26, 2021, Item No. 14).
C280 12. ORDINANCE NO. 6516 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM amending the Zoning Map referred to in Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 7 of 22
relating to Zoning (Reclassification No. 2020-00331) (DEV2019-00013) (removing the Mobile
Home Park (MHP) Overlay Zone from the project site) (156 unit single-family residential
project located at 200 West Midway Drive).
Determine that a streamlined review pursuant to Section 15183.3 (Streamlining for Infill
Projects) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines is the appropriate
environmental review for this request under CEQA; and, that the proposed Reclassification
No. 2020-00331 would not have any significant effects on the environment that either have not
already been analyzed in prior environmental impact reports or that are more significant than
previously analyzed, or that uniformly applicable development policies would not substantially
mitigate (continued from Council meeting of October 26, 2021, Item No. 20).
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno advised, by his count, these projects combined consist of
642 housing units and only Item No. 10 would have five (5) to six (6) affordable housing units.
Planning and Building Director Ted White believed that count sounded accurate.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiries, Mr. White reported the Development Agreement
(DA) in Item No. 03 requires the $300,000 deposit into the Affordable Housing Fund occur at the
issuance of building permits or the transfer of ownership of the property entitlement to another
building or developer and is reported in escrow. He noted the close of escrow would trigger the DA
requirement for money to be deposited to the City and is anticipated by the end of the year. He
advised he does not have the number of parking spaces in the parking structure but confirmed it
meets code. Council Member Moreno inquired if there were 300 units in the development was it safe
to say there would be 300 to 400 parking spaces to which Mr. White concurred.
Council Member Moreno advised he did not support Item No. 03, which is in his district, and noted he
begged that the project not move forward until there was an analysis of the affordable housing need
in the area given the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) numbers for extremely low
and low-income housing. He reported this development addresses market -rate housing. He did not
believe the agreements before City Council address the actual need in the City and would cause
additional crowding in neighborhoods. He advised he could not support any formal agreements that
continue to affirm the City Council's decision to not require affordable housing in these projects.
MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to deny Item Nos. 03, 08, and 12 and clarified that he
separated Item No. 10 from the discussion and motion. Motion failed for lack of a second.
MOTION: Council Member O'Neil moved to approve Item Nos. 03, 08, and 12 as presented,
seconded by Council Member Diaz. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 6 (Mayor Sidhu and Council
Members Faessel, Diaz, Ma'ae, Valencia, and O'Neil); NOES — 1 (Council Member Moreno). Motion
carried.
City Clerk Theresa Bass advised that pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 849 the City Council is to
address Public Hearing Item No. 16 at the noticed time.
At 6:30 P.M., Mayor Sidhu took the agenda out of order to consider Public Hearing Item No. 16,
followed by Item Nos. 10 and 04.
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 8 of 22
PUBLIC HEARING:
E127 16. This is a public hearing to 1) consider and discuss draft Council District Maps submitted to the
City; 2) receive and file public input on communities of interest, district boundaries, and draft
maps; and 3) provide direction on any revisions to draft maps.
Mayor Sidhu reported the final results of the 2020 Census were now available and show a complete
picture of how the Anaheim community has changed over the past 10 years. He advised the data
would be used to help shape the Council Districts for the next 10 years. He reported City Council and
the public would get their first look at preliminary proposals for Anaheim's modified district lines. He
thanked the members of the public who submitted maps and provided input for consideration and
those who took time out of their busy schedules to attend one of the community meetings. He
explained this was just the beginning of the process and encouraged residents to continue to be
involved and noted graphs, maps, and comments on other maps were still being accepted. He
encouraged residents to attend the upcoming community meetings. He advised that at the end of this
important and inclusive process, the City would end up with a district map that ensures an equal
voice for all Anaheim residents and businesses.
City Clerk Theresa Bass reported this was the third public hearing before City Council regarding the
City's redistricting process. She advised this public hearing would provide an overview of the criteria
for redistricting the boundary lines, present to City Council and the community the draft maps
submitted by the public as well as prepared by the City's demographer, and outline next steps for
completion and adoption of a new boundary map by April 17, 2022.
Ms. Bass advised that since the last public hearing on October 5, 2021, the community was
encouraged to submit proposed maps for City Council's initial consideration and discussion as well as
seek input from the community. She reported a total of eight (8) proposed maps were submitted
utilizing the City's mapping tool, DistrictR. She reported one of the maps was duplicate of a prior
submission and another map contained overlapping areas; as a result, six (6) public maps would be
presented. She reported Dr. Justin Levitt, the City's Demographer, also prepared three (3) draft
district boundary maps based on the legal criteria and input regarding communities of interest
received at the community redistricting meetings held throughout the City. She advised the maps
prepared by Dr. Levitt are intended for discussion purposes, with no recommendation of approval of
any one of the proposals. She reported each of the maps were posted on the City's redistricting
website, which can be found at https://anaheimredistricting.ora. She noted printed copies of the maps
were available in the back of the City Council Chamber.
Dr. Levitt thanked all the members of the community who submitted maps and reported six (6) maps
were produced. He thanked the residents who attended the various workshops and forums held and
who submitted comments online, in writing, and verbally at those hearings. He noted the process
would look very different if there was not as much public participation.
Dr. Levitt explained every 10 years, the City has to adjust the City Council districts based on the
results of the 2020 census or decennial census. He advised the 2020 census results were quite
delayed and the data set was not received until September, which caused the process to start later
than anticipated and would continue into next year to give more time to complete the process. He
explained the City Council districts have to be redrawn to some degree because the total deviation of
the current map is 14.34%, which is above the Supreme Court's 10% maximum constitutionally
permissible deviation. He advised this process would look at how this should happen and how the
City complies with new state laws that govern how the redistricting process should happen.
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 9 of 22
Dr. Levitt provided a list of criteria and advised it was meant to give guidance on factors that need to
be considered and how they are considered. He explained the first criteria is Federal Laws, which
starts with an equal population requirement which means while districts do not have to be perfectly
equal, they have to be almost entirely equal with a maximum of a 10% deviation or difference
between the largest and smallest using total population. He advised the process also has to follow
the Federal Voting Rights Act and noted while race cannot be the only or even the predominant factor
in the creation of a district, it is one of many factors that has be considered while looking towards
other factors such as communities of interest
Dr. Levitt reported California has ranked criteria, which stem from the FAIR MAPS Act of 2019, is a
state law. He advised the first principal is geographic contiguity, which means all parts of the district
must touch each other. He reported the second criteria is undivided neighborhoods and "communities
of interest," which is defined by law as socio-geographic economic areas that need to stay together
for the purpose of their effective and fair representation. He advised a broad overview of communities
of interest are those that have shared issues, shared concerns, shared problems, shared histories,
and factors that bring neighborhoods and other subdivision communities together, whether they be
cultural factors, employment, education, recreation, or other things that bring people together. He
advised the third criteria is easily identifiable boundaries, which is the idea that it should be easy for
voters to understand which district they live in to the extent that it can follow major roads and other
major division lines. He advised the fourth criteria is compactness, which is not bypassing one group
of people to pick up a more distant group of people. Lastly, he advised this criteria must be ranked in
order.
Dr. Levitt reported once a map is developed, then the last group of criteria are things that can be
considered that might make the difference between a good map and a great map for the City for the
next 10 years. He advised factors include minimizing voters shifted to different election years,
respecting voters' choices and continuity in office, future population growth, and preserving the core
of existing districts. He advised political partisanship, which is favoring or discriminating against a
political party, is explicitly prohibited by the FAIR MAPS Act and cannot be considered as part of the
analysis.
Dr. Levitt reported all maps are available via the interactive web viewer and provided a brief overview
of how to use the tool. He explained users have the ability to search for addresses and change the
base map. He noted it also allows users to compare the different map options that would be
presented and through the rest of the process. He reported six (6) maps were received from the
community through the DistrictR tool. He advised the DistrictR tool continues to be available, all the
maps that were submitted can continue to be viewed on DistrictR, and noted the tool has a gallery
feature that allows users to view submitted maps or working draft maps.
Dr. Levitt reported the same person submitted Maps 101 and 102 with the first one using the public
participation kit's paper maps and the second via DistrictR. He advised they received other maps
through DistrictR, such as Map 107. He noted Map 103 was submitted by an organized group and
advised it was submitted with the Hispanic or Latino percentages underneath and there was some
concern that some of the lines may have been drawn block by block based on the Latino population.
He advised analysis was being conducted but it seemed that based on the information received, race
was a very big factor in the creation of Map 103 so they wanted to note it. He reported Map 109 is not
a legal map as currently drawn but it could be made legal, explaining it was not legal because of the
little foot near Beach Boulevard in the western part of the City that was not connected. He noted if it
were moved into District 2, it would be a legal map. He explained these maps were being shown as a
starting point so input could be received to perhaps turn them into something that could be adopted.
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 10 of 22
Dr. Levitt reported there were three (3) National Demographic Corporation (NDC) drafts to present.
He advised, based on information received at the public workshops and hearings, all three (3) of
these maps have left District 1 and 2 into more or less the same configuration based on the
overwhelming testimony at the workshops that District 1 and District 2 to the Beach Boulevard
Corridor and Little Arabia along Brookhurst needed to stay together. He reported NDC Maps 104 and
105 have left District 6 the same, which was population balanced the way it current is. He advised in
NDC Map 106, District 6 was realigned to Tustin Boulevard to try to follow the major road with this
change affecting approximately 100 residents living in the Anaheim Canyon.
Dr. Levitt explained the goal with these maps was to try to balance the population in different ways.
He reported, for example, the Sycamore area felt a connection to District 3. He advised NDC Map
104 has minimal changes but moved Sycamore Middle School directly into District 3 and moved the
border between District 3 and District 5 up to Lincoln Avenue. He advised NDC Map 105 has a larger
change that moves the whole area east of the current District 3 and District 5 boundary between East
Street and State College into District 3, moves the District 4 boundary up quite a bit, and divides the
Colony and some other central neighborhoods to make that happen. He advised NDC Map 106 looks
at an alternative that takes District 4 upwards to include the area around Sycamore Street even if it
could not be placed in District 3. He advised there is concern with NDC Map 105 because it only has
one majority Latino seat so in order to balance the community population, NDC Map 106 creates two
solidly Latino majority seats in Districts 3 and District 4 by including the Sycamore area into District 4.
Dr. Levitt advised the NDC maps presented have minimal changes at this point and noted major
changes were seen in the maps the community produced but input is needed from City Council and
the residents in order to produce better maps. He reported the online DistrictR tool remains available
online and can be found at https://districtr.org/ and basic paper maps are also available.
He advised there is a story map and interactive web viewer that show detailed information and
options. He requested input on what additional information could be provided for the next six (6)
community workshops. He encouraged the public to submit additional maps and reported the next
public hearing would be held in January 2022.
Ms. Bass reported the next steps include continuing to encourage the community to submit maps
using the mapping tools that are available at https://anaheimredistricting.org/. She advised the
submitted maps would be presented to the community in order to receive input and ask for revisions.
She reported a series of community meetings would be held in November and December and are
listed on the redistricting website. She requested any map revisions be submitted by December 30,
2021 in order to bring those revisions, comments, and proposals back to City Council at the next two
(2) public hearings to be held in January and February 2022. She advised the City Council 2022
calendar would be approved later this month and once those dates were secured, they would be
made available to the public. She reported the deadline to adopt a map is April 17, 2022.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Faessel expressed appreciation for the work of Dr. Levitt and the City
Clerk staff. He noted much attention is being paid to District 5 because of the population growth and
the likely changes of the boundary lines between Districts 3, 4, and 5. He expressed appreciation for
the effort of a number of residents to address those in an equitable way. He noted he is watching this
very carefully and is sensitive to trying to keep communities of interest together.
Council Member Moreno thanked Dr. Levitt and Ms. Bass for the process and making it accessible
and as user friendly as possible given the tools.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Bass reported the deadline was extended due
to some issues with the provider and the delay of the census data. She confirmed there was a delay
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 11 of 22
with the online tool DistrictR but paper maps in connection with Excel spreadsheets, also known as
public participation kits, were available to the public during that time on the redistricting website. She
confirmed the initial deadline was Friday, October 22, 2021, which was extended to Tuesday,
October 26, 2021 given the issues with the mapping tools. She confirmed each of the maps has a
complete map along with the demographic summary that was provided by Dr. Levitt. She explained
the district numbers on each map match the numbers of how it was utilized by the submitter. She
advised for example, the submitter for Map 103 used letters in order to correlate it with the mapping
tool and Dr. Levitt continued that identifier in order to be consistent with the way it was submitted for
Map 103. Dr. Levitt reported the submitter of Map 103 provided a three (3) page document along with
the map that makes extensive use of the lettering system so he felt it was not wise to make changes
so the comments and the map would match.
Council Member Moreno suggested it be edited to reference the district number to the letter to
eliminate further confusion and expressed appreciation for the clarification of why it was kept as
submitted.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Bass confirmed the public would be able to
preview the maps submitted along with the submitter's comments for the map. She advised the map
and comments were included as part of the agenda packet. She advised three (3) anonymous maps
were submitted without comments and also included in the agenda packet.
Council Member Valencia expressed appreciation to Dr. Levitt and the City Clerk team for collecting
the information and engaging the community.
In response to Council Member Valencia's inquiry, Dr. Levitt explained keeping similar neighborhoods
within districts begins with the FAIR MAPS Act itself, which requires that communities of interest need
to be kept together for the purposes of effective and fair representation to the extent possible. He
explained "to the extent possible" is part of the flexibility to allow for if a community is too big and
cannot be kept in one district for population reasons or if dividing the community is necessary to
respect contiguity or the federal requirements of either equal population or the Voting Rights Act. He
advised the Federal Voting Rights Act also talks about communities and allows race and ethnicity to
be used to determine if a community of interest exists. He explained, according to the Supreme
Court, the federal voting law cannot use race as the predominant or only factor in the creation of a
district and advised that is considered racial gerrymandering. He advised communities of interest is
not just race or ethnicity but includes housing, income, education, history, and shared cultural and
educational institutions that help define a neighborhood and community. He noted it gets complicated
when a major division line is not being followed on the map and cannot be justified. He advised there
are ways to do it with reference to communities of interest but noted it is important to justify it and not
just have it appear on a map as if it was drawn that way.
In response to Council Member Valencia's inquiry, Dr. Levitt confirmed the essence of what makes a
community is the second most important thing in the FAIR MAPS Act after contiguity and the fourth
most important component overall.
Council Member Ma'ae reported she had a Zoom meeting with a group of young people who were
very involved in the Anaheim Citizens' Redistricting Committee and Orange County Asian Pacific
Islander (API) community. She requested Dr. Levitt review their submitted map and provided
feedback on how they could improve the map. Dr. Levitt explained the main concern is that the map
had a percentage Latino thematic under each district and appears to have been drawn along a line of
racial division. He advised in one of the areas between District 3 and District 4, the map goes right
through a neighborhood on both sides of Ball Road. He advised that not following the major
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 12 of 22
boundaries without justification could raise a red flag. He explained the third most important criteria is
easily identifiable boundaries. He recommended the group clean up the map or provide some
justification for their rationale.
Mayor Sidhu opened the public hearing.
Mike Robbins reported district mapping is part of democracy at work but he believed this process was
perverting the democracy in Anaheim. He referenced Mayor Sidhu's comments that India has the
largest democracy in the world and noted it also has one of the most corrupt democracies in the world
along with being one of the most polluted cities in the world. He advised district mapping would
continue the horrible mess in Anaheim and allows the upper caste to control the City Council as they
have before. He explained influence operations are frequently seen as threats to democratic societies
because they can corrupt the integrity of political deliberation. He noted the City is $1 billion in debt
and the upper caste who control the City Council does not live here and does not care. He alleged
foreign influences in this process.
Jeanine Robbins reported she fought very hard for district elections and noted there are members of
the dais who fought hard against district elections. She explained district elections were designed so
residents of a certain area could elect a person to represent them. She believed there was one (1)
person on the City Council who was elected and the rest were purchased by campaign contributions
and expenditures. She reported District 3 and 4 have experienced an extreme decrease in population
that could be attributed to the fact that the census was cut short, the fact that the census was
conducted in a year where former President Trump and U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) were intimidating people, or it could be because people were afraid to say how many people
were living in their homes. She expressed concern that the issue may be Short Term Rentals (STR)
especially in District 4 that have no residents to count. She recommended the STR issue be revisited
and believed neighborhoods should be restored so the census and district maps are accurate. She
expressed concern how certain areas are protected to be kept neighborhoods but District 4 is allowed
to let STRs run rampant. She reported someone was recently convicted due a chain reaction fatal
crash on the 1-5 Freeway after drinking at an Airbnb in Anaheim and advised there are thousands of
Airbnbs that are operating unpermitted.
David Klawe reported he is the submitter of Map 101 and Map 102. He reported the first map was
submitted before the deadline using paper tools and the second map was submitted using DistrictR at
the extended deadline. He prefers to use Map 102 but Map 101 is there for discussion purposes. He
drew these maps in conjunction with the district mapping rules and the spirit of the 2016 redistricting
process. He believed west Anaheim is a community of interest and eight (8) of the nine (9) maps
recognize that. He noted Interstate 5 and Euclid Street were also common dividing lines. He advised
he used Interstate 5 and South Street as the boundary in Map 102 and noted that area is impacted by
the resort district and was designed to keep the populations equal. He noted District 4 is anything
west of Euclid Street down Interstate 5 with the other segment and includes Ponderosa. He reported
he attended four (4) of the community meetings, along with the Zoom meeting, and has been
listening to the community input. He reported he used the Santa Ana River and Lakeview Avenue as
the boundary for District 6 as depicted in Map 102. He encouraged City Council to keep west
Anaheim whole.
Wes Jones expressed concern that City Council is the least suitable to be selecting the final map. He
believed the people who have the most to gain by redistricting are the organizations behind the City
Council. He believes the map that is most favorable to Support our Anaheim Resort (SOAR) and
organizations that run the City Council would be selected. He believed a neutral body should be
convened to pick the redistricting maps. He also believed the final map has already been selected.
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 13 of 22
Brianna C. advised she has been following the redistricting process as a democratic process. She
thanked the City staff and NDC staff for preparing a great presentation and making the information
easily accessible. She expressed concerned that the DistrictR online map tool was not made
available until the evening before the deadline and felt it had a negative impact on the turn -out of map
submissions and prevented people from making corrections before the hearing. She hoped the City
learned from the process so it was smoother during the next processes. She advised the process
overall has shown a lot of community involvement and she hoped to see that reflected in the final
maps. She urged City Council to implement a map that reflects the constituents' communities of
interest such as Little Arabia.
Maria Valencia reported she is a community organizer with Orange County Congregation Community
Organization (OCCCO). She advised OCCCO works to develop grassroots leaders to bring systemic
change that result in creating communities where everyone can live with dignity and thrive. She
advised OCCCO is working with other community organizations to gather input from the community.
She expressed support for Map 103 on behalf of the Anaheim Citizens' Redistricting Committee. She
advised their map focuses on ensuring that there is community representation across the City. She
noted they are committed to having open dialogue with community leaders to ensure the map is the
most representative of Anaheim. She advised she heard the concerns that the map is racially drawn
and noted the focus of the map was to have open dialogue with the community members. She noted
the areas and communities of interest they identified are three (3) LatinX Voting Right Act (VRA)
districts and extending current District 3 to include Sycamore Junior High School based on the
concerns of parents. She advised they are also focused on maintaining the area known as Little
Arabia and drawing Disneyland, Anaheim Stadium, and Angel Stadium together due to their common
commercial interest. She encouraged City Council to support Map 103.
Rashad AI-Dabbagh, Executive Director of the Arab American Civil Council and a member of the
Anaheim Citizens' Redistricting Committee. He expressed support for Map 103 because it respects
the Little Arabia community of interest, keeps it whole, and is compliant with the Voters Right Act.
City Clerk Theresa Bass reported that one (1) public comment was received electronically prior to
6:30 P.M. related to Public Hearing Item No. 16. [A final total of one (1) public comment was received
electronically, distributed to the City Council, and made part of the official record]. — See Appendix.
Mayor Sidhu closed the public hearing.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno thanked the members of the community who submitted
maps, City staff, and Dr. Levitt. He expressed concern with any map that splits the Colony district. He
advised it was identified as a community of interest in 2016 and historically has been both a point of
emphasis by the City similar to the reasons speakers have given for keeping Little Arabia intact. He
advised Map 107 does not do the Colony area any justice. He expressed concern regarding Map 103
as it pulls District 3's southern border up towards the Central Library, north of South Street. He
encouraged that to be reconsidered by those who submitted the map in relation to keeping the
identity of the central part of Anaheim. He urged City Council to think about that as well as they talk
about these maps in other ways.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Faessel's inquiry, Dr. Levitt noted that Map 107 was submitted
anonymously and was not drawn by the consultant. He noted he was happy to talk to the person who
drew Map 107 if they provide some contact information. He reported Map 107 makes some very
radical changes compared to the current map, which may or may not be a good thing. He advised it
seems to divide a north district in the central part of the City and then two southern districts that goes
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 14 of 22
right into the central part of the Colony itself. He noted Districts 1 and 2 have interesting changes to
the boundaries as well. He noted it also divides the resort district between District 4 and 5, putting
much of the hotels and support areas north of the freeway in a different district than the Convention
Center and Disneyland themselves. He expressed concern with the communities of interest on this
map on the big scale as -is and would welcome the resident who drew the map to come and justify it.
Council Member Valencia advised Map 104 seems very similar to the districts currently in place and
definitely encompasses certain neighborhoods.
In response to Council Member Valencia's inquiry, Dr. Levitt explained the sliver extending in District
5 on NDC Map 104 shows an option where both District 3 and 4 were growing into District 5 because
that was the central story from the data. He advised they heard repeatedly in several meetings about
the importance of Sycamore Middle School for District 3. He reported the problem is that the area
between State College Boulevard and East Street is very densely populated. He explained because
Sycamore Middle School is at the eastern end of that, the entire section had to go into District 3. He
noted they would have loved to grab the rest of it to come down to Lincoln Avenue but would have
taken the deviation to 12% just by adding that one little area between Lincoln Avenue and Sycamore
Middle School which is almost 4,000 people and would have created an unbalanced map.
In response to Council Member Valencia's inquiry, Dr. Levitt advised there were other schools that
were mentioned to keep in a particular district but they head the most about Sycamore Middle School
and that it was not in the right district. He advised there are six (6) public workshops coming up and
staff would love to hear more about this topic.
MOTION: Mayor Sidhu moved to receive and file draft maps submitted and the public input on
communities of interest, district boundaries, and draft maps, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Faessel.
ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Diaz, Ma'ae, Moreno,
Valencia, and O'Neil); NOES — 0. Motion carried.
END OF CONSENT CALENDAR:
10. RESOLUTION NO. 2021-102 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
AGR-13191 CITY OF ANAHEIM approving an Owner Participation Agreement, substantially in the form
AGR-9579.1.1 attached, by and between the City of Anaheim and Lab Holding, LLC; authorizing the City
Manager to finalize such Owner Participation Agreement; authorizing the City Manager to
implement such Owner Participation Agreement; and making certain other findings in
connection therewith [development of property located at 275 and 375 Santa Ana Street,
Project Site No. 2, The Lumberyard].
Approve a First Amendment to Disposition and Development Agreement with LAB Holding,
LLC; authorize the City Manager to execute and administer the First Amendment to the
Disposition and Development Agreement and make certain other findings in connection
therewith (continued from Council meeting of October 26, 2021, Item No. 18).
Acting Director of Community and Economic Development Grace Stepter reported the item is to
adopt a resolution approving an Owner Participation Agreement with LAB Holding, LLC, for the
development of property located at 275 and 375 Santa Ana Street and approve a First Amendment to
Disposition and Development Agreement with LAB Holding, LLC. She reported on January 12, 2016,
City Council approved a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the sale of four (4) sites
to LAB Holdings, LLC. She advised the sites included two (2) redevelopment sites and two (2)
housing successor sites, which transferred to the Anaheim Housing Authority following the dissolution
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 15 of 22
of the former Redevelopment Agency. She reported City Council concurrently approved a Purchase
and Sale Agreement between the City of Anaheim and the Anaheim Housing Authority to facilitate the
transaction. She noted all development agreements are between the City and the Developer.
Ms. Stepter reported an independent appraisal was obtained, which determined the value of the four
(4) sites at $10,100,000. She advised as part of the negotiations for the sale, it was agreed that the
developer would pay $7,600,000 at closing and the City would accept a $2,500,000 promissory note,
using the Lumberyard site as collateral. She advised the $2,500,000 is owed to the Housing Authority
and would be deposited into the Affordability Trust Fund. She reported the Developer has been
making payments pursuant to the terms outlined in the note, which is interest only at the rate of 4.5%.
She advised under the original terms of the agreement, all development was anticipated to be
completed by October 2021 and the note was due in March 31, 2021.
Ms. Stepter reported to date, LAB Holding, LLC has fulfilled all obligations in the DDA relating to the
Packing District and the Craftsman House/Barrel Building and noted discussions for development of
Project Site No. 3 are underway. She advised that due to extenuating circumstances, the Developer
has been unable to secure partners and/or financing to move forward with the development of Project
Site No. 2 as described in the Scope of Development or within the timeline agreed upon. She
reported adding to existing market driven challenges, in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic
resulted in the issuance of business closure orders that essentially shut down the Packing District.
She advised the original DDA contains a force majeure clause, which relieves the parties from
performing their contractual obligations in the event of a catastrophe and the Developer requested
consideration to exercise such relief temporarily.
Ms. Stepter reported the development concept for the Lumberyards, located at 275 and 375 Santa
Ana, as represented at the time the DDA was comprised of a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 80
townhouse style, live —work units, ideal for culinary and maker entrepreneurs. She advised the units
were intended to have a unique ability to open to the public on occasion for communal dining. She
reported that given the events of the past 18 months, the Developer has reevaluated the merits of
such a concept and is now requesting the City's consent to assign its rights to develop Project Site
No. 2 to Tri Pointe Homes for the development of 56 for -sale condominiums on the 2.05 acre site.
She advised Tri Pointe is a nationally known homebuilder that already has a presence in Anaheim.
She reported the concept proposed for the Lumberyards site offers various floorplans to potential
buyers ranging from 2 — 4 bedroom units with some units featuring private patios, a communal
courtyard for all residents, and is in -line with the development of the Downtown area.
Ms. Stepter reported the First Amendment to the DDA would formally confirm that Project Site Nos. 1,
3, and 4 are still subject to the terms and conditions approved in the original DDA and Project Site
No. 2 would no longer be governed by the DDA. She advised, due to the fact that LAB Holding, LLC
is already the property owner, it is recommended that a separate governing document in the form of
an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) be utilized for development of Project Site No. 2.
Ms. Stepter reported the proposed OPA would allow for the following modifications to the terms in the
original DDA including:
• The Scope of Development would be modified from market rate -rental townhome units with a
culinary focus to a project featuring 56 for -sale townhomes with an affordable component for
10% of the units.
• Down Payment Assistance would be made available to Moderate Income eligible households.
• The Developer would assign the site to Tri-Pointe the earlier of February 28, 2022 or
following approval of the Land Use Entitlements
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 16 of 22
The Developer would be required to continue making the payments on the promissory note,
including an interest deferral rate, and would pay the note in full by no later than February 28,
2022 regardless of whether Land Use Entitlements are in place.
Tri Pointe would assume responsibility for construction and sale of the units.
Phased construction would be completed no later than 36 months from building permit
issuance, allowing for project completion by August 2026.
Ms. Stepter advised staff recommends approval of the First Amendment of the DDA and the OPA as
development of the site is essential to furthering the redevelopment goals set forth for the Packing
District.
DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Moreno inquiry, Ms. Stepter explained there are four
(4) sites that are part of the complete package. She advised two (2) were contemplated for
commercial redevelopment and two (2) belong to the Housing Authority with the potential for housing
to be developed there. She explained the law allows the property be sold for fair -market rent and the
proceeds be used for affordable housing purposes. She confirmed the proceeds would be going back
to the Housing Authority for the creation of affordable housing. She advised the total acreage is 2.05
acres but reminded Council it is a packaged deal and noted the $10,100,000 appraisal was for all the
sites.
Council Member Moreno noted the original intent of the culinary community was very exciting and he
was sorry to see it was not playing out. He explained that LAB Holding, LLC owns the site and is
unable to see it through and is looking to work with a developer to construct and build the buildings.
Ms. Stepter confirmed the City is only approving a change in what was proposed initially but the
properties have been sold and it is just a modification in the DDA.
Council Member Moreno expressed support for the affordable units, 10% of the total units. Ms.
Stepter confirmed the units would be at the moderate -income level and the Down Payment
Assistance is to Moderate Income eligible households. She explained there is no affordable housing
requirement to the project and noted they are paying fair -market value for the land so the Down
Payment Assistance is a voluntary action by the Developer.
Council Member Moreno advised this shows that the property owner and Developer are saying this
area has needed this kind of housing. He commended the Developer for voluntarily developing
affordable housing for -sale property using their own funds and not seeking any City dollars. Ms.
Stepter clarified the City would be helping with Down Payment Assistance. She clarified affordable
units would be negotiated in the DDA but generally speaking affordable units are held up to 45 years.
Council Member Moreno noted the Packing House has revitalized Downtown but has created a
difficult economic space of gentrification and an unintended consequence related to parking.
In response to Council Member Moreno, Community Investment Manager Laura Alcala advised there
is a Parking Agreement that is aside from the original DDA and LAB Holding, LLC has the ability to
exercise that option and the additional parking would be in Car Park 2, which is at the Kraemer
Building. She advised the original agreement for Project No. 01 would allow for Car Park 2 to be used
if parking became a problem. She advised they have not negotiated parking but preliminary plans
show that parking would be all onsite.
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 17 of 22
Council Member Moreno inquired if voting for approval in no way reduces parking requirements in the
City. Ms. Stepter advised the site needs a General Plan Amendment so the Developer would need to
submit plans that would be evaluated by the Planning Commission.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Stepter reported a program called Begin and
other federal programs would be used as funding for the Down Payment Assistance Program. She
explained the $2,500,000 would go into the Affordable Housing Development Fund and would allow
the City to use it as gap financing for 100% affordable housing developments.
In response to Council Member Moreno's previous inquiry, Ms. Stepter confirmed the total property is
approximately six (6) acres. He noted this is about $1,700,000 per acre. He noted Angel Stadium was
sold for $2,100,000 per acre and was surprised that the Downtown area was almost as much.
MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2021-102 A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM approving an Owner
Participation Agreement, substantially in the form attached, by and between the City of Anaheim and
Lab Holding, LLC; authorizing the City Manager to finalize such Owner Participation Agreement;
authorizing the City Manager to implement such Owner Participation Agreement; and making certain
other findings in connection therewith; and approve a First Amendment to Disposition and
Development Agreement with LAB Holding, LLC; authorize the City Manager to execute and
administer the First Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement and make certain
other findings in connection therewith, seconded by Council Member Diaz. ROLL CALL VOTE:
AYES — 7 (Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Faessel, Diaz, Ma'ae, Moreno, Valencia, and O'Neil);
NOES — 0. Motion carried.
AGR-1516 4. Determine, on the basis of the evidence submitted by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S.,
Inc. that the property owner has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of
Development Agreement No. 96-01 for the 2020-2021 review period for The Disneyland
Resort Project located in the Anaheim Resort.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno clarified for the public these are the original Development
Agreements with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts from 1996, this is the annual item that makes sure
they are keeping up with the agreements, and noted this is for the parking garage.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry regarding whether the Development Agreement
addresses the final disposition and revenues of the parking garage, Planning and Building Director
Ted White deferred to a Disney Resort representative.
Deanna Detchemendy, Assistant General Counsel Disneyland Resort, explained the parking
structure arrangements are only made in the context of the bond documents as a finance agreement
matter. She explained the Development Agreement does not speak to that at all except for the
Opening Day Project. She believed the requirement of what Disney was supposed to do by Opening
Day was to build parking spaces. She clarified there were a number of subprojects that were required
to be completed by Opening Day in 2001 including California Adventure and the Grand Californian
Hotel.
Council Member Moreno believed that the Mickey and Friends parking structure was conceived for
California Adventure. He understood that the $500,000,000 bond was also used for the parking
structure and provided 9,996 parking spaces on Opening Day. Ms. Detchemendy clarified bond
proceeds were used to construct the Mickey and Friends parking structure.
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 18 of 22
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Ms. Detchemendy confirmed the City authority
issued the bonds. She noted she came prepared to talk about the Development Agreement and if the
financing needed to be discussed, she could only speak in general terms.
Mayor Sidhu advised the item is simply for Disney to confirm it has complied in good faith with the
terms and conditions of Development Agreement No. 96-01. Senior Assistant City Attorney Kristin
Pelletier explained if the discussion is related to the compliance in the prior year then it is on topic but
old bond financing does not include performance within the last year.
Mayor Sidhu encouraged Council Member Moreno to stay on topic and noted he is not to talk about
the terms and conditions of the financing but he can discuss if they comply with the Development
Agreement.
Council Member Moreno explained the item is to determine if the property owner has complied in
good faith with the terms and conditions of Development Agreement No. 96-01 for the 2020-2021
review period. He advised he is asking clarifying questions and Disney voluntary answered a
question that staff was unable to answer. He noted the public has asked him the role the parking
structures play in the Development Agreement.
Mayor Sidhu explained the item is about complying in good faith with the terms and conditions of the
Development Agreement.
Council Member Moreno requested clarification from Ms. Pelletier. Ms. Pelletier opined that the
Disney representative explained that financing was not contained within the Development Agreement
nor is it contained within the past year's performance under the Development Agreement. She
clarified the past year's performance discussion is fair game but referencing old financing documents
and who is paying for the parking structure is not linked to performance.
Council Member Moreno explained he was asking for a clarification because it was stated as fact that
the City did not build the Mickey and Friends parking garage. He was simply inquiring if it was a
public parking garage and if it was covered by this Development Agreement.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. White explained the obligations of the
Development Agreement required Disney to construct a minimum of 5,800 parking spaces and ended
up building the 9,996 space Mickey and Friends parking structure. He advised that is what is
contained within the Development Agreement. He advised the financing is a separate document and
is not part of the Development Agreement.
Council Member Moreno agreed the financing is not included in the Development Agreement but he
would like to know, as a clarifying question, who built the garage and who owns the garage. He
believed that is part of the Development Agreement. He advised he is allowed to make any comment
he wishes as it relates to the Development Agreement unless he is speaking to something completely
unrelated. Ms. Pelletier opined that what is agendized is the last year of performance under the
Development Agreement and he can share his thoughts on the last year of performance under the
Development Agreement.
In response to Council Member Moreno's inquiry, Mr. White confirmed Disney met its obligation to
construct the parking structure in 2001 and are obligated to maintain the parking. He explained
Disney had seven (7) main requirements, four (4) of which were met by 2001 and one (1) shortly
thereafter. He explained the two (2) items that are reviewed annually are Disney's jobs program and
ongoing phasing of the remaining development. Mr. White explained Disney has submitted a full
B105
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 19 of 22
annual report on their Anaheim's jobs program that is available as an attachment to the staff report
and includes the efforts made for attracting, maintaining, and creating new jobs. He reported prior to
the pandemic, Disney had 32,000 jobs and many of those were lost. He advised they are currently
back up to 25,000 jobs and looking to hire back as many previous employees as possible. He
explained the annual report looks into the Disney Aspire Program, Disney -provided child care
assistance, workforce development, mentorship program, and career skills development.
Council Member Moreno commended Disney for their childcare program that was instituted three (3)
years ago that was a game changer for employees at the resort. He noted Disney's education
support was also a huge benefit to employees. He advised there is an ongoing struggle to understand
the jobs program and he knows there are many things in flux. He noted the spirit of the program was
to offer as many good paying jobs to Anaheim residents as possible to reinvest the money within the
City. He thanked Mr. White and Ms. Detchemendy for answering his questions.
MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to determine on the basis of the evidence submitted by
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. that the property owner has complied in good faith with the
terms and conditions of Development Agreement No. 96-01 for the 2020-2021 review period for The
Disneyland Resort Project located in the Anaheim Resort, seconded by Council Member Ma'ae.

D116 15. Update on the City's response to COVID-19.
Mayor Sidhu reported the City is entering a new phase of the pandemic where residents are living
with and managing the coronavirus. He advised cases are mainly stable with a slight rise from the
Delta surge and we are watching for possibility of a winter surge but are encouraged by the models
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 20 of 22
that forecast stabilization. He encouraged residents to get vaccinated and receive boosters as they
are eligible.
Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster reported the City is in an inflection point. He advised the
City is on guard for a potential winter surge but national models show the potential for stabilization.
He reported weekly cases in Orange County have been on the rise in the past two (2) weeks but it is
still too early to discern the trend based upon this data. He advised the case rate in Orange County
is up slightly but the positivity rate and health equity remain at low rates. He reported 74% of Orange
County residents are fully -vaccinated and 83% are partially vaccinated. He reported Anaheim's case
rate is up to 9.7% but positivity rates are also increasing. He advised 72% of Anaheim residents are
fully vaccinated and 79% are partially vaccinated.
Mr. Lyster reported over 8,000 tests were conducted in October at the City's five (5) test sites. He
advised 746 vaccinations were given at three (3) of those sites and 37 vaccinations were given at
three (3) neighborhood clinics. He reported the City's partner, COVID Clinic, began offering booster
shots on October 25, 2021. He thanked Mayor Pro Tern Faessel for volunteering for his booster shot
as shown in the displayed photo.
Mr. Lyster reported the City needs to be concerned for the prospect of a winter surge and can safely
say the Delta variant surge has peaked. He noted a new variant has not presented itself to take the
Delta's place locally or nationally. He advised most models indicate steady stabilization. He reported
the long term goal is to move from pandemic to endemic.
Mr. Lyster reported information from the United Kingdom (UK), which serves as something of a
barometer for the United States. He shared that the rise in the UK has begun to temper and noted
there were only 5% of Delta plus cases in the UK.
Mr. Lyster presented a model of the United States that clearly showed last year's winter surge and
the Delta surge. He noted the model shows an increased decline in cases from November to
December, which suggests a stabilization. He presented a similar outlook model for Orange County
but noted the important part is that it also shows a stabilization in cases going through November. He
noted this shows that vaccines, boosters, and masks are working.
Mr. Lyster reported the Federal vaccine/testing mandate was announced on September 9 and they
are waiting on the guidelines to be published from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) this week. He explained this means that employers of 100 or more employees would fall into
a federal requirement that employees be vaccinated or regularly tested to come to work. He expected
there to be a phase -in period and noted other states are planning legal action.
Informational item — No action taken.
REPORT ON CLOSED SESSION ACTIONS: None
PUBLIC COMMENTS (non -agenda items): None
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS/AGENDA REQUESTS:
Council Member Valencia shared that he participated in the Orange County Family Justice Center's
Educational Course Completion Recognition, organized by Madres en Accion from Ponderosa and
congratulated the recipients. He announced District 4 is embarking on a district -wide community
clean-up campaign and invited residents to join in at their neighborhood parks. He reported his
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021
Page 21 of 22
attendance at the Brewery X beer garden ribbon cutting at the Honda Center and appreciated the
collaboration between the large venue and a small local business. He offered congratulations to a
new restaurant on Center Street Promenade, Craft Smoke & Fire, recommended everyone try their
delicious food, and hoped it would serve as a catalyst for the continued growth of the street. He
thanked a District 4 business, Tocumbo Ice Cream, for hosting Ice Cream with a Cop and announced
the next event would be Tacos with a Cop at Tacos Los Cholos on State College Boulevard on
November 17th at 4:00 P.M. He also acknowledged resident Linda Newby for taking the lead on
community organization.
Council Member Diaz acknowledged the approval of the construction contract to begin work on the
Teen Room addition at the Brookhurst Community Center and looked forward to having a safe place
for teenagers to go for peace, to do homework, and have activities. He announced the Anaheim
Health Fair taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center on November 6-7, 8:00 A.M. to 12:00
P.M., to provide medical, dental, and vision care to those in need, with more information available at
www.anaheim.net/healthfair. He announced that Anaheim Cops for Kids is hosting Anaheim
Confidential on Friday, November 5, at the River Arena, a true crime show with dinner and drinks,
benefitting the Cops for Kids program. He addressed public comments made during the Redistricting
public hearing, expressed his disgust at the comments aimed at Mayor Sidhu's national origin, and
stated that criticizing the mayor's policies was appropriate but attacking his national origin was
discriminatory.
Council Member Moreno also denounced the comments regarding Mayor Sidhu's national origin and
found it unfortunate that such comments were said, despite the public comment microphone being a
protected free speech area. He thanked the Community Services, Police, and Public Utilities
Departments for meeting with the Rose/BushNine neighborhood to support developing sustainable
programs to better the neighborhood. He thanked those neighbors and those from the Balsam area
for organizing kid events with costumes and prizes celebrating Halloween and Dia de los Muertos.
He reported on a great forum with the Northeast Colony area about upcoming capital improvements
and announced walks with Public Works and Public Utilities would occur during the upcoming days
for neighbors to help identify problematic areas they would like to be addressed as part of the project.
He addressed questions surrounding the Disney Development Agreement, shared the original
construction of the Mickey & Friends parking structure was through Resort Bonds paid by the General
Fund, and addressed the revenue generated by the structure for the company compared with what
the City receives. He noted that when the bonds are paid off, the title of the parking garage would be
signed over to the corporation itself, and stated that part of the development agreement included the
original financing but noted that tonight's agenda item was focused on activities from the past year.
Mayor Pro Tern Faessel stated he represented City Council at the Caterina's Club annual gala at the
White House restaurant and it was very successful. He reported his policy aide attended the Orange
County Water Summit and learned how confusing California's water policy really is. He recognized
the passing of Joe Carter and noted his memorial was well attended and he would be missed. He
reported his wife and aides attended the District 5 neighborhood community meeting, as he taught
that night and was unable to attend. He thanked Public Utilities, Code Enforcement, and the Police
Department for addressing concerns in the Ward Terrace neighborhood. He reported he joined the
mayor at the Boys & Girls Club Gala at the Grand Californian and acknowledged the great work the
organization does in the Anaheim community. He thanked Code Enforcement and the Police
Department for addressing mischief issues in the Sycamore/Underhill/Redwood neighborhood. He
acknowledged the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast and reported he passed out candy to about 700 children
near the Halloween Tree at Feldhaus Circle and hoped the Halloween Parade would return next year.
He offered condolences to his senior policy aide's family on the loss of her mother-in-law, Marion
City Council Minutes of November 2, 2021

Francis. He announced Reborn Cabinet's Baths for the Brave program, with information at
www.reborncabinets.com, and looked forward to seeing people at the Veterans Day ceremony.
Council Member O'Neil apologized to the Disneyland representative for the earlier discussion and
expressed his thanks for the tax dollars already received and more revenue to come in the future.
Council Member Ma'ae acknowledged she'd been in office for about a month and thanked all those
who made her feel welcome, particularly staff who has been meeting with her and sharing priorities
and services. She noted she has toured several departments and stated the city is lucky to have
such an exceptional and committed staff. She also reported meeting with organizations and residents
throughout her district and at community events, such as the Healing Walk for Indigenous Peoples
Day celebrating the diversity of Anaheim. She provided an update on the proposed project at 2323
West Broadway that the Cantada Square Homeowners Association and Melia Homes have agreed to
a Memorandum of Understanding to address residents' needs and expressed her thanks to residents
for their leadership and to Melia Homes for their flexibility and willingness to find solutions to
safeguard quality of life. She paid tribute to veterans and their families and thanked them for their
courage and service to the country.
Mayor Sidhu commended Council Member Ma'ae for doing a wonderful job over her first month. He
addressed free speech and discriminatory comments regarding ethnicity; noting he was an American
who was born in India but came to the United States 47 years ago. He stated the comments made
were not just about him, but an insult to all Indo-Americans. He stated immigrants bring a wealth of
knowledge while enjoying the freedom and liberty available in this country and shared the
achievements of Indo-Americans as CEOs of large companies, Silicon Valley engineers, doctors,
hospitality industry workers, and interstate transportation businesses. He stated the statements at
the microphone were absolutely wrong and he constantly thinks about he can do better for the people
of City of Anaheim. He thanked staff for their work and noted, as chairperson of the meeting, he
would be the first to ensure the Council does not violate the Brown Act and stays in the agenda. He
thanked all the attendees and volunteers for the Mayor's Prayer Breakfast, thanked front line police
officers and firefighters, and encouraged all to be vigilant and receive vaccines and boosters shots to
protect themselves and those around them.
ADJOURNMENT:
At 8:54 P.M., with no further business before the Council, Mayor Sidhu adjourned the City Council
meeting.

I think this is all good news, Certainly no one deserves this recognition more than my friend and cohort - Esther.
But would not her memory be better served by re -naming the Park itself after her? Or perhaps the education
office center on Orange? Or perhaps the Police and Gym facility on Beach? I think that Esther was that RARE
person that comes along , maybe once in our lifetime, that has the drive and energy to get you to do more than
you thought you were capable of doing. She worked tirelessly for many years to help the West Anaheim
Communities and our group (Orange Ave. Homeowners Assoc.)to save us from the on-slaught of High Density
Apartment developers. Then moving on to help form a new group that went on to be called WAND, (West
Anaheim Neighborhood Development Committee) - this was encouraged by our Mayor at the time, Tom Daly.
She is deserving of recognition in the highest form, just as Walt Disney - Maxwell - and others who have parks
and buildings named in their honor.

Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open
attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.
Dear Anaheim Redistricting,
My name is Rashad AI-Dabbagh. I am writing as a community member of Little Arabia and as the Executive
Director of the Arab American Civic Council.
My community is the Arab American community in what is known as Little Arabia, a destination that includes
more than 100 Arab community businesses and nonprofits. It is located on Brookhurst Street primarily between
Crescent and Katella Ave in West Anaheim.
Anaheim's Little Arabia is a safe space for Arabic -speaking immigrants as well as other immigrants and
refugees from the Greater Middle Eastern region. However, our Arab American community must be recognized
as a core part of Anaheim.
I, personally, often visited Little Arabia as a new immigrant when I first moved to Southern California because
of the community that existed here. It was my home away from home. Since then Little Arabia has grown, and
what has to offer has multiplied.
The Arab community is an "invisible minority that doesn't qualify for a lot of funding that others may receive
because the Census counts our community as "white" or "caucasian". Our immigrant community needs basic
services and improved language access. Most importantly, we must have recognition from the city and official
designation as Little Arabia, as well as from the federal government to get its own Census designation.
Sincerely,
Rashad AI-Dabbagh
Rashad Al-Dabbagh Founder/Executive Director at Arab American Civic Council
