DearMayorPro TemandCouncilmembers,
I amopposedto the creationof a tickettax thatwouldadverselyandunnecessarilyimpact the residentsof Anaheim. It wouldalso go againstthe commitmentswe madeto the residents whenthe TransitOccupancyTax (TOT) wasincreasedso thatvisitorsto Anaheim, not residents, wouldgenerateGeneralFundrevenueto fundcityservices.
It is clearthe strategyis working. TOThas beena tremendoussourceof incometo the General FundandhasfundedvitalCityservicesincludingpolice, fire andcommunityservices. This revenueis realizedwithoutcostto Anaheimresidents, it is paidby visitors. A tickettax would be a directfinancialimpactto visitorsANDresidentsthat visitour populardestinations.
Whetherit is ticketsfor a baseballgameor a trip to Disneyland, our local families need anotherunnecessarytax burdeningthem.
ThecurrentTOTrevenueshowsa tickettax is unnecessary. The pandemichad a devastating impacton TOTanda tickettax wouldnot havepreventedourfinanciallossesduringthistime.
Fortunately, Anaheimsestablishedfinancialstrategyis strongandresilient. TheTOTrecovery hasbeenremarkable. It is nowyourjob to protectthe financialstrategyand protectthe futureof TOT.
Manytravelersdiscoverednewdestinationsduringthe pandemicandCaliforniasassociated stringentpolicies. CaliforniaandAnaheimneedto encouragevisitorsto returnand adopt policiesthat welcomethem. A tickettax willsteersomevisitorsawayfrom Anaheim. In addition, policieslike this willsteersomeconventionsawayfromAnaheimwhichwillhavean immensenegativeimpacton ourlongtermTOT.
I am askingthe Councilmembersto protectAnaheimssuccessfulfinancialstrategy, to support the AnaheimResortto ensurehigh-yieldingTOTrevenues, andto protectourresidents from unnecessaryfinancialburden. Do not supporta tickettax.
Thankyou,
NatalieMeeks

GoodDay, MayorProTem, CouncilmembersandCityStaff.
AsacommissioneroftheBudget, InformationandTechnologycommission, IpersonallyopposeItem #12.
Backinthemid-1960’s, TheCityLeadersdecided, basedonhowwellDisneyland, andsurroundingareawasdoing, to relyonTourismasamajoreconomicengine. Thecouncil, alongwiththeAnaheimUnionHighSchoolDistrict, builtthe originalAnaheimArenaandConventionCenter, whichbecameaninstanthit, hostingmajorconcerts, professional Basketballandotherevents.

Thecitybenefittedinmultipleways, includingcreatingjobs, plusadditionalSalesandPropertyTaxes. Butthemainways thecitybenefittedbyitsinvestmentsinTourismwasinrentsandotherrevenuefromcityownedfacilities, plusthe TransitOccupancyTax (T.O.T.).
TheT.O.T. isagreatTaxdesignedtoTaxTourists, asit isaTaxcollectedonShortTermStaysof30Daysorless. Itisalso aTaxthatisnotsharedwithotherGovernmentalAgencies, unlikeSalesandPropertyTaxes.
InMayof2022, thecitycollected $16.3Million, arecordamount. YeartoDate, thecityhascollected $157.6Millionin T.O.T., 61% overbudget!

Dear Jim,
Pleaseask Maggie to give a copy of this to the City Council from me. We cannot tax our resort businesses, we must only use them to collect a user fee that will be put in a separatebucket for community benefits, not for the general fund.
Thank you sir.

1 Q ZTMIII ;I i
Anaheim Resort User Fee ( ARUF)
Mission Statement: Via the voluntary collection of a small one time percentage - based user fee on a combination of hotel guest headcount, sports venue tickets, and special parking fees, the ARUF will generate a sustainable income stream separate from the Anaheim General Fund to be invested and disbursed by a self- appointed group of stakeholders to directly benefit the resort businesses, resort worker community, enhance the quality of life for all Anaheim citizens, support our first responders, fund permanent solutions for affordable workforce housing and establish a sustainable solution for homelessness in and around the City of Anaheim.
Aspects of the ARUF:
1) This is not a " tax" and will absolutely not impact the profitability. of any resort - related business.
2) Resort and entertainment stakeholders will collect these funds on behalf of a self- appointed Quality of Life Commission ( QOLC) composed of a diverse cross section of Anaheim citizens and business owners.
3) The ARUF would be based on a small percentage charge against each hotel stay, sports ticket, or parking fee depending upon the source. No stakeholder will be charged for more than one source.
E
4) ARUF funds will be electronically deposited into a secured trustee account that would NOT be a part of the City' s General Fund. These funds will be held in trust and dispersed via a formal protocol of the privately controlled Quality of Life Commission ( QOLC). 5) To cover any cost of administration and oversight, stakeholders will retain 5 % of the funds they collect.
6) The QOLC members must reside in, own property in, or be employed by a business in Anaheim. Appointees will be chosen from the following:
a) Walt Disney Company - Parks
b) Major Resort Hotelier
c) Major Resort Hotelier
d) Mid- sized Resort Hotelier
e) Mid- sized Resort Hotelier
f) Small - sized Resort Hotelier
g) Small - sized Resort Hotelier
h) Angels Baseball
i) Ducks Hockey
j) Anaheim Arena Management
k) Faith Based
1) Education Based
m) Anaheim Community Foundation
n) OC Vibe - Samueli Family Holdings
o) At Large
p) At Large
3 7) The QOLC will initially have one full time Executive Director and one full time Assistant Director. Staff salaries and headcount will grow at a pace tied to the demand for services. All staff costs and other overhead will be funded from the revenues received from the ARUF via an annual budget.
8) The formal structure of the ARUF entity may be a Joint Powers Authority formed as a public/ private partnership or some other similar type of entity to be determined by the nature of potential projects that may come before the stakeholders. An example might include the development of a large scale parking structure that generates revenues net of operating costs and debt service directly to ARUF uses. This enterprise type approach could apply to numerous resort - related business opportunities wherein the " profits" would accrue to the ARUF.
9) Distribution of the ARUF funds will be done via a formal application process. Applications will be accepted from pre - approved 501 C- 3 organizations that are based in and around Anaheim.
10)
Where possible, the ARUF funds will be matched with funding from other sources in order to increase the impact of our involvement.
ARUF funds may be used for the following types of need fulfillment:
a) Capital Projects that require " seed funding" wherein the ARUF funds would be used as short term loans, bridge financing, etc. all to be paid back over an agreed upon period of time. b) Loans for housing rental deposits to enable families to move out of motels and/ or overcrowded, unsafe living conditions and into more dignified and permanent housing alternatives.
E
c) Loans for Continuing Education, or Job Skills Enhancement. d) Grants for Non - Profit organizations to establish and operate Continuing Technical Education and Job Skills Enhancement Programs.
e) Grants for Non - Profit organizations to establish and operate Neighborhood Clean- up Programs.
f) Grants for Non - Profit organizations to establish and operate Drug Treatment programs.
g) Grants for Non - Profit organizations to establish and operate both Youth and Adult Recreational and After School Programs. h) Grants or Loans for Non - Profit organizations to establish and operate sustainable solutions for Homelessness with a special focus on funding the development and operation of:
i) Emergency Shelters
ii) Transitional Housing
iii) Permanent Supportive Housing
iv) Affordable Housing
11) The QOLC will meet monthly. Meetings will feature atypical agenda along with guest speakers and reports from experts in the relevant field of interest.
5 12) No funding of any political candidate or political initiative will be paid from ARUF funds. These funds will remain absolutely non- political. However, without political overtones, the QOLC may use ARUF funds to issue direct mail or other forms of
advertising/ promotion in order to educate the general public about the QOLC and the important projects and organizations it is funding.
