ANAHEIM : City’s Achievements Cited in Yearly Report
Efforts to revitalize the city’s tourist district, combat crime and develop retail and sporting complexes are among the accomplishments listed in the city’s Progress Report for 1994-95.
The annual report, which will be formally presented to the City Council on Tuesday, details 87 achievements by Anaheim during a fiscal year dominated by fallout from the Orange County bankruptcy.

* Reorganizing city government to overcome a $9-million revenue shortfall in the general budget.
* Obtaining a federal grant that allowed the city to add nine police officer positions.
