The Angels, Anaheim’s baseball team may be looking to leave, but the city’s hockey team, the Anaheim Ducks, are negotiating a new 25-year lease and development project around the Honda Center.
Before the closed-door meeting Tuesday, public can offer its views on Tustin possibly hosting the Angels.
Tustin is in closed door property negotiation talks with the Angels.
The company that produced an economic impact report on the Angels for the city of Anaheim is related to another company that won the team’s food and beverage concession contract.
Mayor Tom Tait and other critics say the move gives the Angels negotiating leverage on a broader lease deal with the city. Meanwhile, a city-hired consultant says the extension is needed to prevent “impulsive” decisions by Angels owner Arte Moreno.
Here is what to look for as the Anaheim City Council cast the first in a series of votes that will determine the fate of the city’s deal with its Major League Baseball team.
The board postponed action that would have given Anaheim access to OCTA funds for environmental studies and other expenses.
