The County of Orange will conduct a Kramer Community Forum on September 30, 2015 at Eastside Christian Church located at 3330 East Miraloma Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92806, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The Community Forum is open to the public and will be structured to give residents, businesses, and other interested stakeholders the opportunity to receive additional details on the County’s best practice shelter plan which includes operational and management guidelines as well as public safety and security strategies. This is the second Community Forum regarding this project.
A panel will present an Operations Plan and Public Safety Plan in consultation with Anaheim Police Department, Orange Police Department, Fullerton Police Department, and Placentia Police Department that identifies best practices in the operation of a homeless service center and shelter. The Operations and Public Safety Plan are scheduled to be presented by representatives from the Commission to End Homelessness and the Anaheim Police Department, respectively.
After a panel presentation, the public will be invited to submit comments and ask questions.
On June 2, 2015, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved a purchase and sale agreement for 1000 N. Kraemer Place, Anaheim. The action began a due diligence process, including environmental site assessments, and structural and physical inspections. The California Environmental Quality Act review process was also initiated. Community Forums are also a component of the due diligence process. |

No vote(s) or formal action will be taken at this meeting. Any future change in use of the Kraemer site would require approval of the Orange County Board of Supervisors at a publicly noticed meeting open to the public. This vote would occur after the conclusion of the County’s due diligence process, which at this point is anticipated to occur in November 2015.

Residents of Orange County’s canyon areas came together on Saturday to participate in the 31st Annual California Coastal Cleanup day. The goal was to clean out the canyon waterways and creek beds before the forecasted El Nino weather patterns arrive this winter. Third District staff were on hand to provide information and reinforce Supervisor Spitzer’s commitment to meet the needs of the canyon residents.
The All-Canyons Cleanup is held on the same day as the California Coastal Cleanup, recognizing the importance of the watersheds that drain to the beach. The Cleanup was sponsored by OC Public Works and OC Waste & Recycling. Waste Management of Orange County, the local waste hauler, donated the waste bins that were strategically placed throughout the canyon areas. As a result, more than 40,000 pounds of waste were collected by numerous local volunteer groups. |

Volunteers cleaning up the canyons |
| |
| Orange County was part of a statewide Coastal Clean-Up and Inner Coastal Clean-Up that included more than 900 sites in 54 counties, 60,000 volunteers picking up approximately 800,000 pounds of trash and recyclables. State officials targeted this clean-up as an important date due to the anticipated El Nino rains. Once the rains come, all of the exposed debris will wash out to the ocean. Removing it protects rivers, ocean, and wildlife. For more information about the statewide California Coastal Cleanup Day, visit www.coastal.ca.gov/publiced/ccd/ccd.html. |
