Thank you. From: Zeke Hernandez [ma!Ito :zekeher(&yahoo.coml Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 10:50 PM To: Zeke Hernandez Subject: GREAT NEWS -- OC Veterans Cemetery // Irvine Council agenda To: Los Amigos of OC / Santa Ana LULAC #147 Members 1st - I would like to thank John Palacio for shepherding the support resolution for the OC Veterans Cemetery thru the SAUSD Board of Education. It passed earlier this evening on a 5 -0 vote. I also understand it may have also passed in 2 or 3 other cities, including Buena Park, Cypress; and perhaps Anaheim Union High School District. Coast Community College District Board of Trustees approved last week. Cities of Fullerton and Anaheim have approved + others are coming on- board. 2nd -- THE BIGGER NEWS! IRVINE CITY COUNCIL ALSO PASSED AND ADOPTED THE RESOLUTION SUBMITTED BY COUNCILMAN LARRY AGRAN, including the intent to look at 100 acres for the cemetery. - BY A VOTE OF 4 -1. There was a substitue motion by Shea, 2nd by Mayor Choi to not support and to have a committee look at a fesibility study, etc. This lost by 3 -2 vote; surprisingly Greg Lalloway sided with Beth Krom and Agran on this vote. This then led the way for a vote on the main motion to approve the resolution. The final vote: YES: Agran, Krom, Lalloway, and Mayor Choi. NO: Shea. Yes, Choi changed his vote ... after expliainaining that a cemetery would be bad for sales of homes due to feng shui (having homes close to cemetery). 5- Points is doing major marketing to of Great Park homes to Chinese and Korean buyers. I am including as attachments - the Irvine City Council Agenda memo + resolution; my comments as read to the City Council; and letter of support by Santa Ana LULAC #147 (copiies of both of these were provided to council + City Manager. We Did it! Now it's on to the passage of bill AB 1453 in Sacramento.
