Mayor Khan and Her Council Majority Silence Residents, City Commissioners, and Irvine’s History of Detailed Planning
In matters of public policy, Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan and her City Council majority — Anthony Kuo, Tammy Kim and Mike Carroll — have a pattern of ignoring or shutting out public input, staff recommendations, and established procedures.
During the September 27th Council meeting, that pattern was on full display, when they approved two major contracts — one for the development of a 14,000-seat amphitheater and one for a large water polo and aquatics center — worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
This is just the latest in a pattern of Khan and her Council majority ignoring Irvine’s long history of detailed planning and public input.
The OC Power Authority (OCPA) was established by Mayor Khan and Councilmembers Carroll and Kuo in 2019 with little review — even though they were committing millions of Irvine taxpayer dollars. OCPA is now the subject of three audits (City of Irvine, County of Orange, California State Auditor) and there is an ongoing FBI investigation.
