Our Latest Irvine Community Poll Generates Hundreds of Responses & Comments from Residents

We recently asked readers to let us know where YOU think the long-promised Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery should be built — here in Irvine on the ARDA site at the Great Park, or alongside the 91 freeway at the Gypsum Canyon site out towards Riverside County.

The response was overwhelming! Within the first week, we received hundreds of responses.

A full 90% (yes, you read that right — 90%!) of the hundreds of residents who have taken the poll indicate they support building the State Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery on the planned, voter-approved ARDA site at the Great Park.

We are sharing a small sampling of the many, many comments we have received.

Irvine City Councilmember Larry Agran Raises Concerns Regarding Irvine’s Financial Risk at the OCPA

During the October 12th Irvine City Council meeting, Councilmember Larry Agran expressed strong concerns regarding the City’s funding of the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA).

At his first opportunity to speak, Agran noted that weeks ago he had submitted a request for the City Council to agendize a presentation and discussion of the OCPA for the October 12th Council meeting. However, Mayor Khan’s heavily-criticized “Rule of Two” prevented Agran’s request from making it onto the Council meeting agenda.

Instead, Agran was forced to use his time during the “Council Announcements” portion of the City Council meeting to raise his concerns — including the fact that since taking office last December, the Council “has yet to receive even one public briefing, with appropriate disclosures and accountability for all OCPA financial dealings.”

Recap from the Latest Irvine City Council Meeting

It’s been more than six weeks since the Irvine City Council heard from residents in north Irvine who believe that emissions from the asphalt plant located about a mile from their homes has led to a public health crisis.

During the October 26th meeting, Councilmember Larry Agran — who has been advocating on behalf of the residents all year — expressed his frustration that none of his requests to protect residents have been implemented.

The Council meeting also included a 4-1 vote to abandon the City’s long-promised Veterans Cemetery at the Great Park ARDA site in favor of developer FivePoint’s “alternative” site, 20 miles from Irvine, alongside the 91 freeway at Gypsum Canyon, just a few miles from Riverside County.

Agran was the only Councilmember to vote against the Resolution. After the vote, Agran proposed his own Resolution to at least establish a beautiful Veterans Memorial Park on the ARDA site. The Mayor refused to even discuss the park.
