The City's proposal would relocate the court to the Civic <br />Center, directly across from the Federal Courthouse and wi thin close <br />proximity to the Superior Court and the county, state, and federal <br />administrative offices. In fact, all Appellate Courts are located in <br />county seats in order to take advantage of the central location and the <br />proximity to surrounding courthouses and other governmental facilities. <br /> <br />Recently, the University of California at Irvine has submitted a proposal <br />to the Office of the Courts to relocate the court to its campus. In <br />order to help ensure the Fourth District Court of Appeals remains in <br />Santa Ana, City staff has selected the consulting firms of Waters & <br />Faubel and Glaab & Associates for public affairs and media relations <br />associated with this issue. Both firms are based in Orange County and <br />will provide strategic counsel, issues management, and media and <br />community outreach. <br /> <br />25F-1 <br />
