He thanked the members of the Budget, Investment, and Technology Commission for their commitment to the City of Anaheim and their work on the budget process. He thanked members of the public for their participation in the budget process. He noted five additional public meetings will take place prior to the adoption of the budget. He highlighted additional services included in this years budget including the hiring of 12 police officers, the addition of six School Resource Officers, additional funding for staffing in the Fire & Rescue Department, funding commitments for park upgrades and senior services, and the City's commitment to infrastructure services and human services. Director of Finance Debbie Moreno introduced and thanked the Budget team for their work. She presented the Citywide Goals and Strategies, which include ensuring public safety, investing in neighborhoods, outreach to the community, improving the City's infrastructure, and encouraging business growth. She highlighted significant economic improvements since the pandemic, however, she noted vulnerabilities that could cause uncertainties. She mentioned the State and County of Orange would be less prone to impact by a potential recession due to State manufacturing and defense projects not being interest rate sensitive, and Orange County tourism and fully employed labor markets. She noted there is optimism the City may only be minimally impacted by a recession and only experience a decrease in tourism. Ms. Moreno noted the proposed expenditures in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 budget total $2.1 billion. She stated the General Fund budget composes 21%of the budget, however, highlighted the General Fund is used to support core City services such as the Police Department, Fire Department, parks, and libraries. She mentioned the remaining funds including the Enterprise Funds are reserved for specific uses including electric, water, and sanitation utilities and cannot be used for general services. Ms. Moreno noted the budget includes a $218 million proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP). She explained the purpose of the CIP and provided additional information for the seven project categories. She noted the plan for consideration is a preliminary plan that includes five years of projected capital needs, however, approval of the plan does not approve specific projects. Ms. Moreno slated the General Fund is the main repository of tax revenues and discretionary sources of funding. The City's main three revenues which account for 80% of fund sources include Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), sales and use taxes, and property taxes. The largest source of revenue is the TOT producing 42% of revenue, producing $236.3 million of the General Fund budget. Ms. Moreno mentioned the TOT is driven by tourism to the Anaheim Resort with visitors paying a tax of 15% on hotel, motel, and short-term rental stays of thirty days or less. She highlighted the projected growth of the TOT revenue to $236 million in the upcoming fiscal year. She noted Measure J became effective in January 2023 making FY 2023/24 the first fiscal year for the associated revenue collections. Ms. Moreno presented the proposed $112 million Sales & Use Tax budget. She noted the tax is applied to the sale of tangible property. The tax rate in the City is 7.75% and the City receives one cent of every dollar spent in the City. She highlighted the projected growth amongst all sectors and a 3.4% projected growth in the upcoming fiscal year. She addressed the approximately $101 million proposed Property Tax budget. All retail and tangible personal property in the State is subject to property tax equal to one percent of the value. The County collects the taxes and distributes the City's shares totaling approximately 20%. The balance is shared among other taxing agencies. Current fiscal year projects are projected to increase 6.9% followed by 5.3% in the upcoming fiscal year. City Council Minutes of June 13, 2023 Page 3 of 27 Ms. Moreno detailed the General Fund Uses and Expenditures. She noted over 50% of expenditures are used for keeping the community safe. She stated the majority of expenditures are to support debt towards the Resort debt, Convention Center debt, and working Capital bonds. Personnel comprise nearly 70% of the General Fund budget including Full and Part -Time salaries, overtime, and all other associated benefits costs. Detailed information for long-term retirement and post -employment obligations are included in the proposed FY 2023/34 budget beginning on page 171. Ms. Moreno detailed the unfunded liabilities for debt service obligations including bonds. Service enhancements included in the proposed budget are enhanced library hours and an agreement with the Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) for athletic field use. Ms. Moreno presented the General Fund 5-Year Plan and Forecast. She highlighted bond proceeds are lasting longer than anticipated which balances the operating plan across the five years. Lease Payment Measurement Revenues (LPMR) are expected to retire as early as 2028. She detailed ongoing service enhancements totaling $6 million and one-time enhancements totaling $15.1 million. She presented a revised proposed General Fund Five -Year Forecast including all ongoing and one- time enhancements, which would utilize the prior year's surplus and neighborhood set -aside reserves would be used to support one-time projects with deficit bonds balancing ongoing enhancements. Upon repayment of the Resort bonds, the resulting surplus could sustain the enhanced services and allow payment of Capital bonds. Administrative Support Departments The Administrative Support Departments include Finance, Human Resources (HR), City Administration, City Attorney's Office, City Clerk, and City Council. Ms. Moreno provided a brief overview of the Administrative Support Department's budgets. City Council, City Administration, City Attorney, and City Clerk are predominantly funded by the General Fund. Together the Administrative Departments comprise 10.3% of the Citywide Budget and 12% of the General Fund. DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Faessel's request, Ms. Moreno detailed surplus costs in the Resort District that contribute to the entire community. She noted this year there is an estimated 33% return to the community. Council Member Faessel highlighted the Resort District generates a surplus that funds essential City services. Ms. Moreno added during the pandemic the City did not have to pay toward the debt service despite the lack of revenue. Council Member Diaz thanked staff for their work on the Budget and noted the increased services that were included in the proposed Budget. In response to Council Member Diaz, Ms. Moreno noted she can provide the cost of mental health services for the homeless at the next Budget Workshop. She confirmed if all service enhancements were adopted there would be a deficit in the fifth year of the forecast. Mayor Aitken confirmed the report on homeless services is interdepartmental and the City would not experience a deficit this Fiscal Year. Ms. Moreno stated the payment of LPMR bonds was not included in the projections and estimated that would be $120 million a year. In response to Council Member Meeks, Ms. Moreno mentioned the increased revenues in the projected forecast are due to upcoming events. City Council Minutes of June 13, 2023 Page 4 of 27 In response to Mayor Pro Tam Rubalcava, Ms. Moreno stated that she does not budget conservatively and referenced pre -pandemic revenue estimates. She noted the projections may be off individually, however, overall estimates are accurate. Police Department Deputy Police Chief Rick P. Armendariz provided an overview of the Anaheim Police Department's proposed Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget. He outlined the Police Department's core services and the Department's goals. The Department includes 617 Full -Time employees and 63.35 Part -Time employees. The proposed FY 2023/24 Police Department budget is $201.2 million. 90% of the budget comes from the General Fund. Deputy Chief Armendariz stated that there is a 4.4% increase in the proposed budget due to increases in salary and burden and increased liability insurance. Personnel costs comprise 83% of the operating budget. 16% of the Department's budget is dedicated to the Administration Division for operational and strategic components of the Police Department, 18% for the Investigations Division, 31% for the Operations Division, 20% for Operations Support, and 15% for Support Services. Deputy Chief Armendariz highlighted police call responses and response times, prevention, engagement, innovation including the Drone as a First Responder Program, and intervention. He noted the Department has continued to attract, recruit, and retain high -quality employees. In 2022, the Police Department filled 104 sworn and non -sworn positions. He highlighted the peer support team, trainings, and community engagement. Deputy Chief Armendariz noted via volunteer programs and the explorer programs the Police Department is supporting the public safety pipeline to allow residents to serve the community they grew up in. DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tam Rubalcava confirmed the City currently employs the largest number of Police Officers ever in the history of the City. In response to Mayor Pro Tam Rubalcava, Deputy Chief Armendariz explained the number of authorized personnel is the number the Department can hire while budgeted is the positions that are funded. He confirmed the 617 authorized employees and stated the Department is authorized 431 sworn employees and budgeted 408 sworn employees. The Department was approved for 12 over hires which allowed them to employ 410 sworn employees. He noted due to a high number of retirements within the department, the overhire positions allowed the Department to recruit additional personnel. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava, City Manager Vanderpool explained the number of authorized personnel is an administrative decision by the City Manager's Office. The City Manager's Office received authorization to budget at a certain level and works in conjunction with Finance to monitor revenues and appropriation spending and adjust accordingly. He stated the Department could employ more officers to increase public safety, however, the budget needs to be responsibly balanced with the recommendation. Mayor Pro Tam Rubalcava requested additional budgeting toward staffing for the Police Department and the School Resource Officer position. City Manager Vanderpool highlighted the two (2) Homeless Resource Officers included in the proposed Budget which activates funding for those positions. She clarified that the proposed six (6) School Resource Officers (SROs) are additional officers to what is currently budgeted. He stated the City is in negotiations with the AUHSD for cost -sharing for the SRO position. City Council Minutes of June 13, 2023 Page 5 of 27 In response to Mayor Pro Tam Rubalcava, City Manager Vanderpool stated that excluding the two Homeless Officer positions and the six (6) SRO positions, there would be approximately 12 frozen positions. Deputy Chief Armendariz explained two (2) Supervisors are budgeted for Disneyland and currently eight (8) Officers are assigned to Disneyland. He noted all the positions are reimbursed by Disney and those positions are included in the 408 budgeted positions. In response to Mayor Pro Tam Rubalcava, City Manager Vanderpool explained the revenues from Disney have been factored into the budget. Mayor Pro Tam Rubalcava requested the City Manager review the budget to include additional Police Department positions. In response to Council Member Faessel, Deputy Chief Armendariz stated he would need to confirm the change in Capital Outlay funding. He clarified other operating expenditures would be an increase in fees for Police Department fleet. Council Member Kurtz requested information on how many Police Officers are allocated per Anaheim resident and how that number compares to other Orange County cities. In response to Council Member Meeks, Deputy Chief Armendariz stated the Department has been collaborating with the City Manager's Office on supplemental resources to reduce the crime rate. Deputy Chief Armendariz explained the Department is maximizing their resources by being innovative with technology including drones, surveillance cameras, and license plate readers. He noted that the Anaheim Police Department is unique by having to account for the populafion, the annual 25 million visitors to the City, and the high call volume. He mentioned the Department is looking to conduct a strategic assessment to assess the Department's needs. Mayor Aitken requested additional information on any innovative projects that would result in cost savings to the Department. Deputy Chief Armendariz used the example of the Community Care Response Team (CCRT) which reduced 20% of the homeless -related calls for service to the Police Department. Other examples of alternative responses were BeWell OC, Park Rangers, expanding the Cadet program, and non-swom Professional Service Representatives (PSRs). He noted the use of drones would reduce calls for service, assess the situation before officers respond, and provide situational awareness to officers. He mentioned collaboration with residents is crucial to educate them on methods to reduce crime. Council Member Leon requested adding cameras on Brookhurst Street and Ball Road and the costs to install cameras. Deputy Chief Armendariz confirmed the reduction of crime at locations where cameras are installed.

City Council Minutes of June 13, 2023 Page 6 of 27 In response to Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava, Ms. Moreno confirmed the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) is pension reform to decrease the overall cost and the overall cost of PEPRA is less than the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS).

The park is exemplified as a successful partnership that provides a much - needed haven for outdoor enjoyment, recreation, and social connection in a high -density neighborhood. This is just one example of how the City can work creatively and collaboratively with developers to offer vital green space to serve residents. City Manager Vanderpool introduced Dr. Jannine Wilmoth to speak about the City's Emergency Preparedness efforts. Ms. Wilmoth stated she was pleased to present the new emergency preparedness program - Be Ready Anaheim. Be ready Anaheim focuses on three steps: Step 1 — Know Your Hazards, Step 2 — Know Your Needs, Step 3 — Know Your Way. The "Know the Hazards" map provides data and information collected during the preparation of the City's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. By entering an address, residents can find out about natural hazards closest to their location so they can learn more about actions to take before, during, and after an incident. A disaster kit is a collection of basic items a household may need in the event of an emergency, "Know Your Needs." There are several resources and programs for the community to learn about preparedness for adults, children, families, seniors and pets, including classes for both English and Spanish speakers. Ms. Wilmoth highlighted a series of weekend preparedness workshops. Past workshops have included Stop the Bleed training, CPR, first aid, building disaster kits, and more. The next workshop is Saturday, June 17' from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at North Net Training Center. The focus will be on family preparedness and is open to adults and children 10 years and older may attend with a parent. "Know Your Way" is an evacuation plan for Anaheim Hills, particularly in the event of a wildfire. Residents are encouraged to know their neighborhood evacuation zone and primary route out, plus two or three other routes in case roads or closed or conditions change. Ms. Wilmoth stated that emergency communication and evacuation planning is notjust for Anaheim Hills, an emergency plan is important for everyone to make sure they have ways to communicate and locate friends and family following a disaster. Ms. Wilmoth noted that emergency preparedness not only consists of having a disaster kit, but it is also the knowledge that can travel with individuals wherever they go. The Anaheim Emergency Management Team is available to help individuals know their hazards, know their needs, and know their way. Mayor Aitken asked if Be Ready Anaheim could be advertised on all forms of City Communications to make sure residents are aware that the program exists. Chief Communications Officer Mike Lyster responded affirmatively and noted that this program could be advertised on Anaheim TV.

MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6558 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, adding Chapter 6.101 (Hotel Worker Protections) to Title 6 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to provide safety and security measures for hotel workers in Anaheim and determine that the ordinance relates to organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore is not a project within the meaning of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA') and the State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378(b), seconded by Council Member Diaz. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Rubalcava, Diaz, Leon, Kurtz, Faessel, and Meeks); NOES — 0. Motion carried. E127 29. Receive and file a report on the fiscal impact of the proposed Hotel and Event Center Minimum Wage, Worker Retention, and Hotel Worker Safety and Workload Initiative. Director of Finance Debbie Moreno provided historical information regarding the certification of petition signatures and the conduct of an economic impact study. She introduced Beacon Economics Research Manager Stafford Nichols and Managing Director Andy Belknap from Baker Tilly. Mr. Nichols noted Beacon Economics was retained to analyze the anticipated fiscal impact of the initiative on the City's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). Beacon Economics' research methods included a mixed mode approach, utilizing empirical modeling, case studies, and stakeholder interviews. He presented the current TOT level and the projected growth for next year. The TOT was roughly $223 million for FY 2022123. The TOT is expected to represent 42% of the City's revenues in FY 2023/24. Mr. Nichols detailed the chain of economic implications including increased labor costs, increased average daily room rates, and decreased occupancy. The relationship between the City Council Minutes of June 13, 2023 Page 22 of 27 implications explains a percentage change in demand. He estimated the increase would be a 0.5% to 2.5% increase for next year. The long-term TOT impact would be negative due to reduced hotel profitability which will lead to a slower TOT growth rate. Additional considerations included a higher average daily rate leading to shorter visitor stays and a less profitable hotel industry would lead to fewer hotels being built in Anaheim. DISCUSSION: In response to Council Member Faessel, Mr. Nichols elaborated on the impacts to the productivity of daily cleaning requirements In response to Council Member Meeks, Mr. Nichols explained the decrease in construction of potential new hotels was considered in the report and confirmed the value of current hotels would decrease. Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava clarified the need for retaining two consultants to accommodate a limited deadline pursuant to deadlines as required by State law and to capture the effects on the TOT and impacts to City assets, respectively. Council Member Diaz reiterated the potential negative economic impacts of the initiative as currently proposed. In response to Council Member Faessel, Mr. Nichols elaborated on the comparisons between Orange County and Los Angeles (LA) County. He noted the value of hotel permits in Orange County has been higher than in LA County. Occupancy rates in LA are lower compared to occupancy rates in Anaheim. In response to Council Member Kurtz, Mr. Nichols elaborated on the impact the initiative would have on the Convention Center. Mayor Aitken thanked Mr. Nichols for the report and inquired on the stakeholders Mr. Nichols spoke to regarding the economic implications. In response to Mayor Aitken, Mr. Nichols stated that he spoke to hoteliers, Convention Center employees, and individuals at Visit Anaheim. The studies did not include comments from hotel workers or initiative proponents. In response to Mayor Aitken, Mr. Nichols stated they did not evaluate how higher wages would affect Sales Tax, however, generally, there is a net negative impact. In response to Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava, Mr. Nichols confirmed the City would absorb costs associated with the Convention Center due to existing contracts. Ms. Moreno introduced Baker Tilly Managing Director Andy Belknap to present the impacts on event centers such as the Anaheim Convention Center. Baker Tilly analyzed the economic and operational impacts of the initiative. The focus of the analysis was the Anaheim Convention Center and other city - owned centers. The analysis did not include individual benefits to workers from higher wages, explore associated impacts on the City, and evaluate potential effects on employment opportunities. Mr. Belknap detailed the number of Full -Time and Part -Time employees at the Anaheim Convention Center and presented an example of the proposed annual adjustments if they were adopted in 2018. Mr. Belknap highlighted the revenue from major vendors and potential negative impacts to net revenues at the Convention Center. Major vendor Aramark estimates an impact of $2.5 million if the proposed initiative is adopted. City Council Minutes of June 13, 2023 Page 23 of 27 The projected impact to personnel costs would be between $4.7 and $5.1 million. To address wage compaction, the total impact would be between $5.6 million and $6 million. Mr. Belknap summarized the total negative impact including labor costs, Aramark contract revenue reduction, and other negative impacts would be between $7.3 million and $8.6 million. Mr. Belknap stated the economic impacts to the City include the Convention Center budget breaking even, Convention contracts, market limitations, affordability in the competitive convention market, and all additional annual costs will hit the City General Fund. Additional considerations include an approximate 19% increase in labor to the Convention Center, negative impacts wherever the City derives revenue from, and it will be difficult for most event centers to raise prices without risking loss in market share. Enforcement of the initiative would include filing a complaint with the City which the City would investigate or initiate civil action against the hotel or event center. Mr. Belknap stated there would likely be ongoing costs associated with enforcement. He noted additional staff or an enforcement unit would be required to manage workload. Mr. Belknap noted key takeaways including significant economic and operational impacts on the Convention Center, a comprehensive evaluation of the impacts would be needed on each facility and the City's overall economic situation, and further analysis is necessary to understand the long-term implications and explore potential strategies. DISCUSSION: In response to Mayor Aitken, Mr. Belknap stated the unique relationship between the City and other event centers, the effect of the proposed initiative with the other event centers, and their contracts make it difficult to estimate the impacts. In response to Council Member Faessel, Mr. Belknap stated that based on their research the company could not identify effects on other event centers in other cities. The minimum wage proposed in the initiative is higher compared to other cities that have adopted similar initiatives. Council Member Faessel noted the City would be the first City to adopt provisions related to event center workers. In response to Council Member Faessel, Mr. Belknap stated a local YMCA could be considered an event center and would need to comply with the proposed initiative. In response to Council Member Kurtz, Ms. Moreno confirmed there were employees earning less than $25 an hour. She stated 33% of employees fall below the proposed $25 an hour wage, 41% fall below $30 an hour. Ms. Moreno detailed the financial impact the increased wages would have on the Convention Center and General Fund after a period of ten years. Council Member Diaz noted potential employee expectations if the minimum wage is increased. MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to receive and file the reports from Beacon Economics and Baker Tilly on the fiscal impact of the proposed Hotel and Event Center Minimum Wage, Worker Retention, and Hotel Worker Safety and Workload Initiative, seconded by Council Member Diaz. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 7 (Mayor Aitken and Council Members Rubalcava, Diaz, Leon, Kurtz, Faessel, and Meeks); NOES — 0. Motion carried. E127 30. Following the receive and file of the fiscal impact report of the proposed Hotel and Event Center Minimum Wage, Worker Retention, and Hotel Worker Safety and Workload Initiative ("initiative") pursuant to California Elections Code Section 9212, the City Council shall take one of the two courses of action: City Council Minutes of June 13, 2023 Page 24 of 27 Adopt the initiative ordinance, without alternation; or ii) Direct staff to prepare a resolution for adoption at the June 27, 2023 Council meeting, submitting the initiative measure to a vote by the electorate of the City, pursuant to California Elections Code Section 1405. City Clerk Theresa Bass provided background on the initiative process and detailed the process to either adopt the proposed initiative via ordinance without alteration or order to submit the initiative to the voters without alteration. The City Council can elect to place the initiative measure to the next regularly scheduled General Municipal Election set for November 5, 2024 or call a special election to be held 88 to 103 days after the election is called. Ms. Bass detailed dates that would be compliant pursuant to California Elections Code Section 1405. The total cost estimate for placing the initiative measure on the next General Election ballot is between $198,891 to $233,625. The cost for a special election would be between $1,477,297 to $1,632,776. Ms. Bass reported consolidation for the March 2024 Primary Election is not an option due to the dates falling outside the dates of a special election pursuant to California Elections Code Section 1405(b). In response to Mayor Aitken, City Attorney Robert Fabela stated the recommended action for the City Council is to place the measure for consideration at the next General Municipal Election or call a special election within the window provided by the Elections Code. If a special election was not selected, the calling of a special election would occur by resoluflon at the next scheduled City Council meeting. Council Member Meeks expressed concern regarding misinformation about the proposed initiative and the contents of the initiative. She referenced the overtime provision listed in the initiative and the negative economic impacts of the initiative. She expressed her support for a special election rather than wait until the next General Municipal Election. She mentioned educating voters regarding the proposed initiative. MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to submit the initiative measure to a vote by the electorate of the City at a special municipal election to be held on September 12, 2023, seconded by Council Member Faessel. DISCUSSION: Council Member Diaz noted the economic impacts of the proposed initiative on the City's budget. He expressed support to submit the initiative measure to a special election on September 12, 2023. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava, City Clerk Theresa Bass confirmed the special election will follow the provisions of the Voters Choice Act which will include vote centers, mail -in ballots, and ballot drop box locations available to registered voters. She noted, pursuant to the Elections Code, a minimum of three vote centers would be open ten days prior to the date of the election and six vote centers on election day. Pursuant to the Elections Code, voters have 15 days prior to the election day to register to vote. Ms. Bass detailed conditional voting registration provisions which would follow the same prerequisites for General Elections. Council Member Leon expressed his gratitude to Paul Sanford and Ada BriceRo for starting the conversation regarding the proposed initiative. Council Member Kurtz noted various businesses depend on the success of the Resort area. She supported Council Member Diai s comments and scheduling the proposed initiative to be sent to the voters on September 12, 2023. City Council Minutes of June 13, 2023 Page 25 of 27 Mayor Aitken thanked members of the public for their participation at the meeting. She thanked hoteliers and union members for educating her on the impacts of the initiative. She expressed concerns about sending the initiative to a special election. She noted the remaining unknowns that were not addressed in the economic impact studies due to the expedited timeframe. She expressed her belief an ordinance with compromises from both sides could be reached. Mayor Aitken supported sending the initiative to the next General Municipal Election citing the potential to conduct additional studies and generate a larger voter turnout if the item was placed on a general election date. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava, City Manager Vanderpool stated budget appropriations for a special election can be included in the FY 2023/24 budget. Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava clarified the proposed initiative could not be revised. She supported a special election due to the smaller number of items that would be presented to voters at a special compared to a general election. She noted the proposed cost of a special election is less than the estimated fiscal impact of the proposed initiative. Council Member Meeks acknowledged Mayor Aitken's comments and stated her intention to request that staff prepare a plan for outreach on the proposed initiative. MOTION: Council Member Meeks moved to submit the initiative measure to a vote by the electorate of the City at a special municipal election to be held on September 12, 2023, seconded by Council Member Faessel. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES — 5 (Mayor Pro Tem Rubalcava and Council Members Diaz, Kurtz, Faessel, and Meeks); NOES — 2 (Mayor Aitken and Council Member Leon). Motion carried. B105 31.

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 City Council Members, I am writing in support of hotel and event center workers in Anaheim. As gentrification accelerates and big companies raise prices, essential workers who have formed Anaheim's core community for decades are being pushed out of their homes because their wages do not rise with the cost of living. Southern California is rapidly becoming somewhere only wealthy people can afford to live, and that is not right with our history, our values, or our best interests. I urge you to support workers and their unions against hotel management companies for the good of all in the city.

Dear Anaheim City Council Members It's not the hotels that are the problem, it's the policies that the politicians put in place. Now with the mass influx of illegal immigrants, things will only get worse. Due to a lack of housing and inflation, Anaheim is going to become overpopulated, and our healthcare system will be overwhelmed. I think our energy should be focused on real issues not just only the hotels, this is my opinion. Lastly, I don't belong to any activities or NGOs organizations.

Naomi Diggs 616 Convention Way Anaheim California 92802 Susana Barrios From: Winston Joseph Sent: Friday, June 2, 2023 9:50 AM To: Public Comment Subject: [EXTERNAL] Order a Special Election - Hotel Worker Initiative 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 City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

Support "' H A N S J June 1 s`, 2023 Hello Mayor Aitken, Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava, and Councilmembers, I know you have been receiving a ton of emails and letters concerning Unite Here's Anaheim Hotel Ballot Measure. I wanted to send a personalized letter rather than a form letter to let you know about the small businesses and people this measure will affect. I am sorry but it will be long but with our company being in Anaheim for almost 50 years as well as the devastating effects of this measure, there is a lot to say. Shirish Hansji is an immigrant from India who came to America in the late 60's with only a few dollars in his pocket. In the early 70's Shirish came to Anaheim from Virginia after saving every penny he could while he worked in the State Controller's Office. Shirish was a hard worker and after a few years he had saved enough money to buy a 26-room motel in Anaheim (2176 South Harbor) in August of 1974. After years of hard work with 18-hour days seven days a week, Shirish and his wife Pushpa had saved enough money to buy another motel across the street (2145 S Harbor — 60-rooms). From there Shirish and Pushpa raised 2 children (Rajan and Aarti) who grew up in Anaheim, living in those motels and helping in the family business from a very young age. Shirish also sent for his brother who was in India, to come and help run the family business. Shirish was an accountant by trade and Arun was a master in facilities management. Together, Shirish and Arun had bought several motels in Anaheim over the years, investing capitol to bring the motels into today's standards. Shirish has since retired and his son Rajan took over the family business around 2008. From 2000 to present, Hansji's Anaheim properties have generated nearly $150,000,000 in TOT revenue for the City of Anaheim, while taking all of the risk in this venture. The City's role in this partnership has been to open and few envelopes and deposit checks into the general fund each month. The Hansji Family currently owns Del Sol Inn (59 rooms), Anaheim Desert Inn (145 rooms) and Desert Palms Hotel (189 rooms). We also have a partial ownership in Cortona Inn (127 rooms). In February of 1997, 1 started at Coachman Inn (the 2nd motel above) as a weekend night auditor. I had a full-time job during the week but wanted a change in my weekend job (I had worked 7 days a week for years with two to three jobs at a time). A few months later, I quit my weekday job and moved to the hotel full-time. Due to the ability to move up in a hotel is based on initiative, drive, ambition and common sense, I moved up quickly and by September of 1997, 1 had been made General Manger of that motel (fake it till you make it!). In October of 2000, 1 was transferred to Desert Palms on Katella @ Harbor as General Manager, and eventually moved up to head Operations and Technology for all of the Hansji family's businesses. About the same time Shirish arrived in Anaheim, I was a young child growing up in Anaheim, going to Horace Mann Elementary, Fremont Junior High (its' final year) and Loara High School. I met my wife in high school and we have been together 40 years this year. We have three children who were all born in three different hospitals in Anaheim. My oldest daughter started working at Desert Palms while in high school and has been there for 14 years. My middle son has worked at two different hotels in the Anaheim Resort. My youngest son is in college but I am sure he will make his way into a hotel in the Anaheim Resort someday. I sit on the Board for several organizations in the Anaheim Resort, with most being as an Executive Committee member (Anaheim Tourism Investment District Transpiration Fund -Chair - 631 WEST KATELLA AVE. - FIFTH FLOOR - ANAHEIM, CA 92802 714-399-0150 TEL 714-399-0151 FAX www.hansji.com n' u Visit Anaheim -Vice Chair, Anaheim Resort Transit -Vice Chair, Anaheim/Orange County Hotel & Lodging Association -Immediate Past Chair, Anaheim Police Chief's Advisory Council -Member). I have been very involved in the Boy Scouts over the past 20 years, most recently serving as the District Chairman for the Valencia District of Orange County Boy Scouts of America, which covers Anaheim, Fullerton, Brea, Placentia and parts of La Habra. My two sons are Eagle Scouts and I currently serve as an Eagle Advisor, Merit Badge Counselor and Assistant Scoutmaster for OCBSA. We are a homegrown family and a homegrown company. Now that you know a little about myself and the Hansji family, I wanted to let you know how devastating this ballot measure will be on Anaheim Hotels, especially for the smaller independent operators like myself as well as for the City of Anaheim. Obviously, a jump from around $17 to $18 an hour to $25 an hour will be a huge burden on the hotel operations costs. This increase would not just affect staff under the $25 an hour baseline, it would affect all hourly and salary staff. Currently, payroll is the biggest expense in hotel operations and 25% to 30% increase in payroll will be very hard to absorb. To do this, we would have to significantly raise prices for our rooms to meet the additional expense. That sounds easy but as we raise prices, demand goes down, causing rooms to go empty, costing our company and our partner, the City of Anaheim an untold amount in revenue. Most hotels also have negotiated group and convention contracts that go beyond 2030 with no ability to increase those rates. So yes, the Union getting involved in the wage of non -union members will have devastating effects on its own. But this is not our only or even main concern. 1. The measure has restrictions on what we clean and how we clean it. It does not allow us to service guest rooms on a multi -day basis, demanding that all guestrooms are serviced every day. This has not been the standard in hotels since covid and if it were, I have not had the staff since reopening to service all of my rented rooms on a daily basis and would be forced to close down rooms that I could not clean. For years (even before Covid) hotels have been offering guests a rebate in cash or rewards points to forgo daily cleaning to save water, cleaning chemicals, life of linen and terry and labor. This would not be allowed under this action. Every room must be cleaned every day. 2. The industry standard to clean a standard hotel room has been 30 minutes for years. In an 8-hour shift, housekeepers would typically clean 13-15 rooms. The standard size of a hotel guestroom is 13 x 28 = 364sf., however the size of the room doesn't have much effect on the time it takes to clean a room, it is more related to what is in the room (number of beds, number of bathrooms, kitchen and so forth) and additional time is giving for additional items in the room. If a standard room at 450sf at one hotel has 1 bed, 1 bathroom and no kitchen, the additional square footage of additional floor space or furniture had little effect on the time or effort to clean it. This measure however has a cap of 4000 total square feet of space, regardless of the amount of cleaning in that space. With these facts in mind, the typical 15 rooms would drop to 10 if we were going to stay below the 4000sf double wage threshold (not counting any deductions). That would mean in addition to the 25% higher wage, I would have to have four team members to clean what three team members currently clean which is an additional 631 WEST KATELLA AVE. FIFTH FLOOR - ANAHEIM, CA 92802 714-399-0150 TEL 714-399-0151 FAX www.hansji.com n' u $65,000 for every three team members I have. This does not include common areas such as hallways, meeting space, retail space, F&B space and so on. There are deductions of 500sf from the 4000sf cap for floor moves, building moves, check-out rooms, and rooms with 2 or more beds (including sofas). If that amount is exceeded after deductions, a penalty of 100% is assessed on the wage of that day, making the mandated $25 an hour $50 for that day. This included common areas. Anaheim is a family destination and I would be willing to bet that 95% of the hotel rooms in Anaheim have at the very least a double bed and a sofa. At Desert Palms, 100% of my rooms have 2 beds minimum (counting sofas) under that definition. This would give a 500sf deduction for each room cleaned meaning that I would max out at 4 rooms per team member to stay below the double minimum wage rate ($50). With these deductions, I would have to have 2.5 additional team members to clean what 1 team member currently cleans. That is and additional $165,000 for each set of 12 rooms I rent daily per year. At Desert Palms my lobby is about 4000sf. This room is spot cleaned all day long but for a total of probably 4 hours of labor in a 24-hour period, which includes moping the floor overnight. That cost with wage, work comp and taxes about is $33,000 a year. This measure would have me have a dedicated person on three shifts a day (24 hours instead of 4) to keep it clean. The new cost under this measure just to clean the lobby would be $273,000. If the space exceeds 4000sf, that cost would DOUBLE. I am also very concerned about the litigation aspect of this law. I see employees suing the hotels stating that they are not adhering to the ballot measure, leaving the burden of proof on the hotel. It really makes no difference if the allegations are true or not. We all know anyone can sue anyone for anything in California and unfortunately it is easier to settle than pay out a huge claim. 4. The tag line for this measure is about safety however that is just to get the voter's attention. Unfortunately, this measure has prevented myself and other hoteliers from installing these devices to way and see what happens with this measure. I have not spoken to one hotelier that has a problem initiating some sort of panic button for our team members. I would hate to install a system that has a capitol cost of $50,000+ to find out it does not meet the needs of the measure. 5. There are other effects of this measure that affect the value of the hotels in Anaheim when refinanced or sold. In 2005, The Hansji Family, in partnership with Ajesh Patel and Bill O'Connell, built Doubletree Suites on Harbor and Orangewood. Shirish purchased the land (which was a shuttered grocery store at the time) a few decades ago, waiting for the right time to build two hotels on the land. Due to the cost of running a 4-star hotel, the 2"d hotel, which was fully entitled, was never built. If this hotel had been built in 2010 as initially proposed, it would have generated $36.5 million dollars for the City of 631 WEST KATELLA AVE. FIFTH FLOOR - ANAHEIM, CA 92802 714-399-0150 TEL 714-399-0151 FAX www.hansji.com n' u Anaheim to date. Late last year, the Ownership group had the Doubletree Suites in escrow, but the buyer dropped out when they heard about the Unite Here ballot measure and the additional costs it would add to operating the hotel. The hotel was eventually sold in Q1 of this year however at an $8 million dollar price reduction due to the effects of this ballot measure. I hope that helps gives the perspective of an independent hotel operator in Anaheim. I am happy to discuss any of the information above in detail if you have questions or comments. This measure will close hotel rooms as well as I feel it will close hotels. We cannot survive with the effects of this measure and need help in getting this ballot measure on a special election as soon as possible. It has already cost our company 8,000,000.

Dear Anaheim City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however.

While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

Dear Anaheim City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Anaheim City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear.

The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Anaheim City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated.

(3Ihk,lk Ilhmu'm Anaheim Res'Idents Aga'inst Cuts to Essential City Services FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Pete Hillan 831-227-5984 ANAHEIM RESIDENTS, SMALL BUSINESSES UNITE TO PROTECT CITY SERVICES Coalition opposes special interest ordinance that puts community safety at risk ANAHEIM, CA. - June 6, 2023 — Anaheim residents, local hotels operators and small businesses have created the Anaheim Residents Against Cuts to Essential City Services coalition to protect city funds for critical services, such as police, fire and parks and recreation that are at risk should the Anaheim City Council adopt a special interest ballot measure. 1 The initiative sponsored by UniteHere Local 11 would mandate unscientific work rules, immediately increase labor costs by 39 percent and cost the City of Anaheim upwards of $9 million annually. The measure would put local, family - owned businesses, including most of the city's hotel owners, at risk as they would face a dramatic increase in operating costs after being closed for almost two years during the global pandemic. "Operating a hotel in Anaheim is what my family has done for three generations, serving our guests, providing careers for our team members and being proud ambassadors for the city," said Greg Eisenman, General Manager of the family -owned Tropicana Inn and the Camelot Inn. "Now, this special interest labor union wants to raise our costs 39 percent in one year and dictate unscientific work rules! This will make it extremely hard for us to make ends meet." "Anaheim and my business depend on great hospitality," said Dara Maleki, owner of Anaheim -based The Pizza Press with 20 locations nationally. "This measure's costs and mandates 100 percent puts our hotels at risk, which puts businesses like mine at risk. Higher costs equal fewer guests equal less pizza sold. Our City Council has to do the right thing for all of us, not just special interests." Last month, the Anaheim City Council authorized studies of the measure's economic impacts, including the potential loss of Transient Occupancy Taxes from hotels, decreased sales tax revenue to the city, and increased costs for the city -owned Convention Center and the Honda Center. The studies are scheduled to be presented to the City Council on June 13, when the Council also is expected to decide to adopt the ordinance, authorize a special election, or place the measure on the November 2024 ballot.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Anaheim City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

Patricia Gomez 1 Susana Barrios From: Kevin Eubanks Sent: Thursday, June 8, 2023 5:35 PM To: Public Comment Subject: [EXTERNAL] Order a Special Election - Hotel Worker Initiative 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 City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

Cheiryl A Rohinke Susana Barrios From: Michael Galliano Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2023 4:57 PM To: Public Comment Subject: [EXTERNAL] Order a Special Election - Hotel Worker Initiative 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 City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

It imalkes NO SENSE to waste over a mflHioin dollars of taxpayer money for an election lin which fewer than a quarter of registered voters wiilll Illilkelly even show up. For these reasons, Ainah6lim hasn't had a Iballllot Iinlitiative off -cycle lin a speciall election lin decades. This is fiscall liirirespoinsibfl1lty at its worst. According to the Counces staff report from last month's May 16 meeting, a speciall election would cost the city $1,477,297 $1,632,776. That's compared to the $198,891 $233,265 that it would cost to Iput the 161tiative on the Iballllot lin the geneirdl election lin 2024, for a difference of over a iml!Hioin dollars. L.et's Ibe clear: The City of Ainah6lim should NOT dirdlin its coffers to hold a speciall election at the Ibelhest of big business linteirests. If the City of Ainah6lim is serious about fiscall iresponsibiVlity with taxpayer money and commu6ity linlput then it will put our Hot6l & Event Center Worker Protection 161tiative on the ballot lin November 2024, which would save the taxpayers over a iml!Hioin dollars and ensuire maxirndl linlput Iby the iresidents of Ainah6lim.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Mayor Aitken, The study conducted by Baker Tilly has determined that based on the economic impact to the Anaheim Convention Center only, the City of Anaheim will face a nearly $9 million hit to the General Fund revenue in the first year alone. Additionally, due to the broad definition of "event center" in the initiative, the study found that not only will venues like the Honda Center be impacted by these strict regulations, but so will religious institutions, community centers, movie theaters, local breweries, and many more venues will be faced with increased operating costs that will threaten their business. This initiative will force local Anaheim businesses to raise prices and reduce staffing, which will drive tourism out of our city. I urge you to vote for a Special Election, and leave the fate of this initiative up to the residents of Anaheim. Sincerely, Tony Hacker CFO Camelot Golfland Golfland Entertainment Centers, Inc.

NEMEM Susana Barrios From: Ken Wilson Sent: Monday, June 12, 2023 6:16 PM To: Public Comment Subject: [EXTERNAL] Order a Special Election - Hotel Worker Initiative 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 City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. Dear Anaheim City Council, On June 13 you will consider an ordinance which would drastically impact hotels throughout the City of Anaheim. While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear.

According to the Counces staff report from last month's May 16 meeting, a speciall election would cost the city $1,477,297 $1,632,776.

Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

While promoted by UNITE HERE Local 11 as a measure to increase hotel worker safety, this poorly drafted proposal contains wage and work rules requirements that would devastate Anaheim hotels, with ripple effects that would gut Anaheim's budget. A majority of the council was correct to reject outright adoption at its May 16 meeting and instead direct an economic impact study. We urge adoption to be rejected again. Instead, the City Council should place this matter on the ballot for the people to decide in a special election later this year. As a matter of policy, the hotel proposal written by UNITE HERE Local 11 would be a disaster. Imposing the proposed wage and work rules on Anaheim hotels would be a costly new mandate. Many workers who were supposed to benefit will likely see their hours reduced or their jobs eliminated. Larger hotels will raise their prices for rooms, amenities, and services, resulting in fewer hotel stays and less tax revenue for the city. Smaller hotels, including family owned "mom and pop" hotels, will likely just go out of business. The increased costs of doing business in Anaheim overall will make it tougher for Anaheim to attract and retain the big trade shows and conventions, like NAMM and Natural Products, and make it tougher for families and tourists to justify the costs of a vacation to the Anaheim Resort. Those increased costs could also result in a chilling effect on economic development throughout Anaheim, but especially where tourism matters most: in the Anaheim Resort. Tourism developments, including new hotels, could slow down or be canceled outright because no business will want to make a significant investment in a city where costs are going to skyrocket. From a practical standpoint, the proposal's 10-day implementation window is one that would be impossible to meet during the December 2024 holiday rush, which is exactly what hotels would be faced with if the measure was successful in the November 2024 General Election. If passed in a special election, the measure would at least be somewhat less difficult for some hotels to implement within 10 days. We hope that it will not come to this, however. Once the voters of Anaheim learn how the UNITE HERE Local 11 measure will devastate the city's finances, and threaten the ability of you, the City Council, to properly fund services such as libraries, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and police and fire protection, they will reject this measure. The City Council should give the voters that opportunity by placing it on the ballot in a special election. When city staff present you with the findings of its economic impact research, the consequences of the proposed ordinance will be clear. It is imperative that voters be able to have their say as quickly as possible. We cannot wait until November 2024. Please: Order a special election.

Thank you, Sam Samantha L. Marquez Executive Director Anaheim/Orange County Hotel & Lodging Association p: (626) 373-3146 . e: sa���.andi.a._marcluez �aochla.coin ANAHEIM / ORANGE COUNTY HOTEL & LODGING ASSOCIATION June 13, 2023 The Hon. Ashleigh Aitken Office of the Mayor and City Council City of Anaheim 200 S. Anaheim Boulevard, 7th Floor Anaheim, CA 92805 RE: Agenda Item 30 (Hotel And Event Center Worker Protection, Retention, And Minimum Wage Ordinance) / Letters from Association Members Dear Mayor Aitken and Members of the City Council: On behalf of the Anaheim/Orange County Hotel & Lodging Association, I urge you to order a special election to address the Hotel and Event Center Worker Protection, Retention, And Minimum Wage Ordinance. While we understand that city staff has been directed to undertake and report its findings on the wider consequences of the initiative on the city, the hospitality industry already knows that the wage, workplace rules, and implementation written into the initiative make it unworkable, impractical, and unrealistic to abide by even under the best of circumstances. If voters were to approve the measure in a November 2024 election, hotels would have to implement it at the peak of the December 2024 holiday season, when many of the nation's few hospitality professionals qualified to oversee such a process would likely be unavailable, especially on such short notice. The implementation mandate forces large and small hoteliers to undertake massive administrative, personnel, and technical changes to policies and procedures at the most inopportune time. We are also deeply concerned about the financial implications that the initiative will impose on our city's convention center, which according to the report the city commissioned Baker Tilly to complete, will see an initial loss of $8.6 million that will impact Anaheim's general fund, creating a significant deficit year after year that will inevitably affect programs and services that Anaheim residents rely on. Major bookings for the Anaheim Convention Center happen years in advance, and 15 months of uncertainty will only increase our city's chances of losing major conventions like the NAMM and the Natural Products Expo to cities like Las Vegas in the years to come. ANAHEIM / ORANGE COUNTY HOTEL & LODGING ASSOCIATION Not only does this initiative strain the city's budget, but it will have disastrous consequences for organizations like the YMCA, schools, religious groups, and other organizations that host events and qualify as event centers under its poorly and vaguely written language. This is just one example of how the initiative's unintended consequences could have a significantly detrimental impact across swaths of the city's economy that have nothing to do with hospitality. Surely, such an overly broad and overreaching measure deserves quick resolution — the residents of Anaheim certainly do. For these reasons, the Anaheim/Orange County Hotel and Lodging Association respectfully requests that you order the initiative a special election in September 2024 and not leave the people and businesses of Anaheim in a cloud of uncertainty for the next 15 months. Please find enclosed additional letters from a selection of our association members. Sincerely, Samantha L. Marquez Executive Director Cc: The Hon. Natalie Rubalcava, Mayor Pro Tem The Hon.

While we understand that city staff has been directed to undertake and report its findings on the wider consequences of the Initiative on the city, the hospitality industry already knows that the wage, workplace rules, and implementation written into the Initiative make it unworkable, impractical, and unrealistic to abide by even under the best of circumstances. If voters were to approve the measure in a November 2024 vote, implementation would be mandated in the peak of the December 2024 holiday season, when a number of hotel professionals needed to oversee this process would likely be unavailable. The implementation mandate forces hoteliers, large and small, to undertake massive administrative, personnel, and technical changes to policies and procedures at the most inopportune time. A special election in the late summer or fall of 2023 allows hoteliers more ability to put any new mandated rules into effect, were the Initiative to be approved. Further, if the Initiative is successful at the ballot box in November 2024, the City of Anaheim may find it necessary to hire additional staff, or even to create an additional new department, in order to monitor and enforce the ordinance. Again, this timing would necessarily coincide with the 2024 holidays. While we stand in steadfast support of and agree with the worker safety and "panic button" provisions of the Initiative, we oppose the wage mandate and workplace rules which would devastate smaller Anaheim hotels and force larger ones to increase their costs to consumers — and slash TOT revenue to the city in the process. Voters in Anaheim deserve the chance to vote upon the proposal sooner rather than later. Thank you for your consideration. We hope you will support a special election.

Anaheim Blvd. Anaheim, CA 92805 RE: Hotel and Event Center Minimum Wage, Worker Retention, and Hotel Worker Safety and Workload Initiative Mayor Aitken, Mayor Pro Tern Rubalcava, and Councilmembers: On behalf of the Hampton Inn and Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort -Convention Center, I am writing to ask that the pending Hotel and Event Center Minimum Wage, Worker Retention, and Hotel Worker Safety and Workload Initiative (the "Initiative") be placed on the ballot for the voters of Anaheim to decide at a special election later this year. While we understand that city staff has been directed to undertake and report its findings on the wider consequences of the Initiative on the city, the hospitality industry already knows that the wage, workplace rules, and implementation written into the Initiative make it unworkable, impractical, and unrealistic to abide by even under the best of circumstances. If voters were to approve the measure in a November 2024 vote, implementation would be mandated in the peak of the December 2024 holiday season, when a number of hotel professionals needed to oversee this Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort —Convention Center 100 W. Katella Ave., Anaheim, CA 92802 process would likely be unavailable. The implementation mandate forces hoteliers, large and small, to undertake massive administrative, personnel, and technical changes to policies and procedures at the most inopportune time. A special election in the late summer or fall of 2023 allows hoteliers more ability to put any new mandated rules into effect, were the Initiative to be approved. Further, if the Initiative is successful at the ballot box in November 2024, the City of Anaheim may find it necessary to hire additional staff, or even to create an additional new department, in order to monitor and enforce the ordinance. Again, this timing would necessarily coincide with the 2024 holidays.
