At their July 27th meeting, the Great Park Board of Directors — consisting of all five Irvine City Councilmembers — voted 4-1 to officially rename the Orange County Great Park. (Councilmember Agran was the sole No vote.)

Councilmember Agran — who voted against the name change and has been skeptical about corporate sponsorships — insisted that “before the City commits to what would likely be a multi-million-dollar name change, a thorough staff report should be prepared for City Council and community review.”

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.)

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.

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.

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.
