BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Santa Ana has long referred to itself as The Golden City, and since at
least 1972, the City has used the phrase "the Golden City" as a motto on
the official City Emblem;
B. In 1990, in recognition that the City had joined forces with Santa Ana's
educational institutions and chambers of commerce to promote
educational opportunities, the city logo was revised to add the phrase
"Education First" to the logo;
C. Santa Ana is the historical center of Orange County and the City Council
desires to recognize and promote Santa Ana as the original and still
"Downtown" for all of Orange County;
D. No one motto can fully communicate all that Santa Ana stands for, and the
three foregoing mottos are valuable in conveying the nature and essence
of the Santa Ana today and should be used in various representations of,
and communications by, the City of Santa Ana.
Section 2. The phrases "The Golden City", "Education First" and "Downtown
Orange County" are hereby adopted as formal mottos of the City of Santa Ana. The
City Manager and the City Attorney are authorized and directed to take all necessary
action to protect the City's intellectual property interests in these mottos and, to the
extent feasible and where appropriate, cause them to be registered as service marks of
the City with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
Section 3. The City Manager is authorized and directed to use any of said
mottos in or on City documents" communications, signs, vehicles and equipment alone
or in conjunction with the 2006 City Logo adopted by companion Resolution
