The Tustin City Council has voted unanimously to transition to district elections for the November 2022 general election.
As cities grow, most decide to switch to district elections since it’s viewed as a more equitable voting system to ensure that every part of town has its own elected representative. In recent years, a majority of Orange County cities have transitioned to district elections.
The only member of the City Council to publicly support the City transitioning to district elections is Larry Agran.
So far, Irvine’s Mayor and Council majority have refused Agran’s request to publicly discuss district elections, even though the City has been threatened with a possible lawsuit that could cost Irvine taxpayers millions of dollars if the City does not transition to the more equitable system of district elections.

More than 800 north Irvine residents have filed complaints with the South Coast Air Quality Management District regarding the toxic emissions and noxious odors resulting from ongoing operations at the All American Asphalt plant that is located less than a mile away from homes.
For months, Councilmember Agran has repeatedly asked the Mayor and his Council colleagues to hold a special meeting to publicly discuss All American Asphalt-related health and environmental concerns and identify near-term solutions to the problem. So far, they have refused.
With the help of community organizers from Non-Toxic Neighborhoods (NTN) and Stop Toxic Asphalt Pollutants (STAP), Agran hosted his own community hearing at City Hall to allow NTN and STAP representatives, Irvine residents, and volunteer air quality scientists from UCI to provide public testimony.

On Wednesday (July 28th), Irvine City Councilmember Larry Agran — with support from community organizers with Non-Toxic Neighborhoods and Stop Toxic Asphalt Pollutants in Irvine — hosted a community meeting at City Hall to discuss the toxic emissions and noxious odors attributed to the ongoing operations at the All American Asphalt plant in north Irvine.
Irvine residents have filed more than 800 complaints with the South Coast Air Quality Management District regarding the asphalt plant.
For several months, Mayor Farrah Khan and other Councilmembers have blocked Agran’s repeated requests for the Council to publicly discuss All American Asphalt-related health and environmental concerns, and work on a plan to identify near-term solutions to the problem.

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.)
Known to most people only as the “Great Park,” Mayor Khan and City Councilmembers Kim, Kuo and Carroll voted to rename the park the “Irvine Great Park.” The name change could cost taxpayers upwards of a million dollars — to change all of the official documents, signage, and marketing materials.
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.”
