HILLYARD AND APPRECIATION FOR HIS LONG PUBLIC SERVICE AND GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AND THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, CALIFORNIA WHEREAS, the death of WARREN K. HILLYARD at the beginning of this new year again called attention to his contributions to our City and County; and WHEREAS, for many years Mr. Hillyard held the office of County Surveyor thereby contributing to all the boundaries and monuments of cities, districts and private property throughout the County; and WHEREAS, in the late 1920's Mr. Hillyard advanced the idea that the County Civic Center should be enlarged and re-established to include the then existing County-owned property and property lying westerly thereof between Sixth and Eighth Streets toward Flower Street and should encompass the City of Santa Aha buildings together with State and Federal buildings. He was then a lone voice which has now been heard by most of the informed citizens throughout the City and County and the establishment of this Civic Center will be a living memorial to him; and WHEREAS, Mr. Hillyard long had great interest in the history of his County and served on the Board of Bowers Museum for this City. In addition to looking back, he looked into the future and proposed utilizating the air space over our central City streets for building structures to avoid the land wasting spread of short life smaller buildings in what should be residential property. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council of the City of Santa Aha expresses for its official family and the many friends of "CAP" HILLYARD their appreciation for his contributions, his public service, and his guiding vision and regret that he is no longer with us.
