Irvine Mayor and 3 Members of City Council Break Their Promise to Veterans & Irvine Residents

Irvine Mayor and 3 Members of City Council Break Their Promise to Veterans & Irvine Residents

After hearing hours of testimony from Irvine residents at the June 22nd City Council meeting, the Council — led by Mayor Farrah Khan — refused to vote for a plan to move forward with a State Veterans Memorial Park in Irvine. (Councilmember Agran was the only member of the Council to support the City moving forward.)

Just three months ago, at the March 23rd City Council meeting, Mayor Khan publicly stated: “Honoring our veterans is a top priority. We are in a unique position as a City to actually get this done. I see it happening in May or June….We are all committed to making this happen! ”

Now, Khan — joined by Councilmembers Kim, Kuo and Carroll — have abandoned their promise to transfer any City-owned property to the State for construction of a Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery.

Mayor & Council Majority Refuse to Support Councilmember Agran’s Request to Establish Great Park Residents’ Advisory Committee

On July 27th, the Great Park Board of Directors — consisting of all five Irvine City Councilmembers — refused to support Councilmember Larry Agran’s request to establish a Great Park Residents Advisory Committee.

Homeowners in the Great Park Neighborhoods pay among the highest property taxes in Irvine, including special assessments paid into the Community Facilities District. Their taxes and assessments help fund multi-million-dollar amenities and operations at the Great Park. However, these homeowners have had virtually no say in how their taxes are being spent.

Mayor Khan and Councilmembers Kim, Kuo and Carroll also dismissed Agran’s alternative suggestion that the Board allot at least 15 minutes of each meeting to hear from homeowners.
