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