which went into effect in 2016 to reduce the amount of organics that go into the landfill system.
Compliance with the State requirements were delayed due to the pandemic. He noted the bill aims to
reduce organic waste disposal, such as food scraps, green waste, landscape and printing waste,
wood, and soiled paper products, in California landfills by 75% and increase edible food recovery by
20%. The City was required to take certain actions to enforce the provisions of SB 1383, including the
adoption of an ordinance, in order to adopt an amendment to the existing solid waste franchise
agreement which includes organics and recycling services to the contract, perform community
outreach and education, enhance edible food recovery programs, and begin ordinance enforcement
beginning 2024.

mandate related to organics. Public Works Director Emami responded the rates will increase by
approximately 5 - 6.5% as related to the organics requirements which equates to approximately five
dollars more per month per household.

(ADU's) used exceeded the annual estimate for RHNA, which was 84.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava's inquiry, Director White confirmed ADU's count towards
the City's RHNA numbers. He highlighted single-family and multi -family projects associated with
issued building permits, and permits categorized as per the number of affordable units provided. He

additional units do not count towards the City's RHNA numbers.

numbers. Director of Housing & Community Development Grace Stepter explained the Studio 6 Motel
conversion does not initially count towards RHNA because it is currently being treated as interim
shelter. Ms. Stepter stated the City will be seeking tax credit for Studio Six with the goal of converting
it to permanent supportive housing.

this ordinance is exempt from the requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation
per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3) because it will not
have a significant effect on the environment, seconded by Council Member Meeks. ROLL CALL
VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Rubalcava, Diaz, Leon, Kurtz, Faessel, and
Meeks); NOES — 0. Motion carried. Ordinance introduced.
AGR-14028 16. Award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Torres Sanitation Systems Construction,
in the amount of $473,000, for the Magnolia and Broadway Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Project; authorize the Director of Public Works to execute the contract and any related
documents and to take the necessary actions to implement and administer the contract;
determine the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
pursuant to Class 3, Section 15303 (d) (New Construction) of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations, and authorize the Finance Director to execute the Escrow Agreement pertaining
to contract retentions.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava requested clarification as to the reasoning behind the
selection of the lowest responsible bidder and the discrepancy between the amount submitted by the
selected vendor versus the next lowest bidder. Public Works Director Emami provided detail on the
City's requirements to follow the Public Contracting Code for sealed bids on projects of this nature.
He explained the current economic condition for construction projects, which has been quite volatile.
Director Emami confirmed the vendor numbers provided were valid and reflect the current market. He
explained that contractors can provide bid protests or a clerical error note to explain their bid pricing.
Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava noted her concern is awarding contracts to substandard bidders. Director
Emami responded the City takes great care in its bid specifications, required inspections, bid
requirements, including bid and performance bonds, which allow the City legal options in the event of
non-performance.
Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava requested clarification regarding the list of projects which was not
attached with the agenda report. Director Emami responded the subject project for this item is not
one that is included in the community workforce agreement, based on established dollar thresholds.
City Council Minutes of March 28, 2023
Page 11 of 13
He noted he would provide the list and subject agreement to Council Members. Mayor Pro Tern
Rubalcava reaffirmed her commitment to provide jobs to community residents and workers.
Council Member Diaz stated the City's requirement to select the lowest responsible bidder is a
requirement by State law.
Mayor Aitken inquired if the requirement to select the lowest responsible bidder was a requirement of
State law. City Attorney Fabela responded that State law requires the selection of the lowest
responsible bidder on certain projects such as the subject project for this item. Other projects, such
as the service contract with the JL Group, do not have such requirements.
Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava deferred to Council Member Meeks who provided additional comments
regarding the bidding process. Council Member Meeks reported Public Works projects are very
specific with detailed plans, line items, and deliverables.
MOTION: Council Member Rubalcava moved to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder,
Torres Sanitation Systems Construction, in the amount of $473,000, for the Magnolia and Broadway
Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project; authorize the Director of Public Works to execute the contract
and any related documents and to take the necessary actions to implement and administer the

Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said he believes authorizing the use of military force
against drug cartels will "restore border security and reverse the trend in fentanyl-
related deaths" (File photo by Leonard Ortiz, Orange County Register/SCNG).
By Hanna Kang I hkang@scng.com
PUBLISHED: March 9, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. I UPDATED: March 9, 2023 at 8:34 a.m.
Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes is counting on recently introduced federal legislation
to help prevent narcotics from flowing into OC.
In a March 6 letter he sent to the authors of legislation that would authorize the use of
military force against Mexican drug cartels, Barnes said the cartels are "flooding
American communities with the deadly drug fentanyl" and taking lives on "both sides of
our southern border."
"It is time for the federal government to take meaningful action against these hostile
drug trafficking organizations," Barnes said in the letter to Republican Reps. Mike Waltz
of Florida and Dan Crenshaw of Texas.
Introduced in January, the legislation would authorize the president to "use all necessary
and appropriate force against those responsible for trafficking fentanyl or a fentanyl-
related substance into the United States or carrying out other related activities that
cause regional destabilization in the Western Hemisphere."
The use of "military force" refers to the use of resources, like cyber, drones and
intelligence, not sending troops into another country, according to the sponsors. And
military force would be used only against organizations and people outside of the U.S.
"It's the ability to use resources that will better protect us and disrupt the drug
trafficking enterprise of the cartels, not necessarily using tanks, bombs and missiles,"
Barnes said.

Orange County has experienced a surge of fentanyl-related deaths in the past several
years. In 2016, the total number of fentanyl-related deaths was just over 30, but that
number spiked to more than 600 by 2021, according to the California Department of
Public Heath. Statewide, deaths increased more than 2,000% in the last five years, from
239 in 2016 to nearly 6,000 in 2021.
Barnes pointed to these deaths as "one of the biggest illustrations of the drug cartels'
impact on America's safety."
Barnes said the OC Sheriff's Department already has a relationship with various federal
entities — including the FBI, Customs and Border Protection and the National Guard, to
name a few — to exchange information.
The OC Sheriff's Department has employed several different strategies for many years to
fight the rapid influx of fentanyl across the border, including narcotics street teams to
get the drugs off the street level, a parcel interception team that works with John Wayne
Airport, a highway interdiction team that works the 1-5 freeway at the chokepoint coming
into South Orange County and a narcotics majors team that focuses primarily on the
Jalisco and Sinaloa cartels south of the border, according to Barnes.
But the porous border, Barnes said, along with the strategic way cartels operate, have
exacerbated the gaps that exist in the efforts to prevent narcotics from flowing into the
U.S. The legislation, Barnes said, will "help restore border security and reverse the trend
in fentanyl-related deaths."
The legislation has been referred to the Republican -led House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Rep. Young Kim, R-Anaheim Hills, who sits on the committee, recently blamed the U.S.-
Mexico border as the "top source of fentanyl." She was not immediately available to
comment on this legislation.
Last year, Crenshaw introduced the Declaring War on the Cartels Act, which aimed for
increased criminal and financial penalties for cartels. It did not receive a vote.

To whom it may concern.
The State of Utah passed a bill to address: Utah's sweeping social media legislation passed this week is an ambitious
attempt to shield children and teens from the ill effects of social media and empower parents to decide whether their
kids should be using apps like TikTok or Instagram.

Good evening Madam Mayor, City Councilmembers, and staff. I have been a homeowner and over two decades resident
of the city of Anaheim. I have always appreciated all the hard work and effort that goes along running the city.
I would like to bring to your attention regarding a property that is in the city of Anaheim. Currently, on the City of
Anaheim Code Enforcement website there are 3 cases that are closed and one case that is open on North Downing
St property. The cases are regarding Unpermitted interior modification due to a marijuana grow, possible group home
without city permit, unpermitted building and overgrown vegetation. I believe there are still cases open regarding this
property but the city cannot disclose to the public until the case is closed.
I understand there are proper procedures and processes. However, even while cases are open, there are structures
being built not only on the property of=N downing st but on the property line of adjacent properties as well. I
would like to emphasize not only illegal structures and modification to the buildings, there are physical safety issues as
well.
I would not only like to be heard on this matter for the city to take rapid action on this property but to be on record as
well.
Thank you for your time and appreciate your time and this opportunity to bring this issue to the city.
