DISCUSSION CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: :S•:• 11 ❑ As Recommended ❑ As Amended ❑ Ordinance on 181 Reading ❑ Ordinance on 2 1d Reading ❑ Implementing Resolution ❑ Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER The Little Saigon Business District will be pursuing the reestablishment of the Little Saigon monument, originally installed on the First Street median east of Euclid Street. The design and location will remain the same, as specified in the previously approved agreement, with the possible inclusion of protective barriers. Attached are some pictures of the original monument (Exhibit 1), along with the agreement previously executed to allow the monument and establish a maintenance agreement (Exhibit 2). In February 2003, the City Council directed staff to work with the Little Saigon Business District Committee to explore the possibility of formally extending the Little Saigon Business District along West First Street into the City of Santa Ana. During this process several meetings took place with the Riverview West Neighborhood Association to discuss all details involved. In June 2003, the City Council directed staff to work with the Little Saigon Business District Committee to design and place a monument sign on First Street and execute an agreement with the Little Saigon Business District Committee for the maintenance of the sign. Shortly after, the monument was installed. In March 2008, the sign was damaged by a vehicle and was later removed. The Little Saigon Business District has been working with various sponsors to reestablish the monument sign. They will be responsible for funding this project and will operate under the requirements of the existing agreement. They plan to complete the project within the year and the City Manager's Office will support them through the street permit process to ensure that the project is delivered as scheduled. 65A -1 Reestablishing the Little Saigon Business District Monument Page 2 STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT The activities covered by this report support the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #5 (promote a strong arts and culture infrastructure).
