MATTERS FROM THE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND CITY MANAGER (Continued)
Mayor Pro Tem Brietigam praised a recent Garden Grove Neighborhood Association (GGNA) event hosted by Maureen Blackmun in her backyard. People from all over the city came together at this event and he encouraged people to join the GGNA, as it is a great organization. He commented that the Public Works Department always does an awesome job; but he is concerned about the condition of residential streets. He knows that road repairs are on a five year rotation, but it appears that a rotational system is not working because many of the residential streets in each district are in need of repair. He noted that infrastructure is one of the main council priorities, and he tasked Public Works to come up with a strategy to make improvements to the residential streets. He noted that four years ago, the City Council voted unanimously for the City Manager and City Attorney to draft an ordinance to address commercial property blight, noting that residents are quickly cited for code enforcement issues; but citing commercial property owners who do not care about the community and allow their properties to become blighted seems to take an extra amount of time and paperwork. With the ongoing accumulation of trash and debris on blighted commercial properties, he tasked staff for a more timely remedy.
Mayor Jones agreed that there are issues with residential streets and there are limited resources to address improvements, noting how expensive it is to grind, repair, and pave roads. Recent paving improvements to the streets around Desmond and Marchand look great, was properly noticed to the residents, and the job was done quickly; however, there are a lot of residential streets that need to be repaved, and the City will need to creatively budget for the costs.
Council Member O’Neill noted his absence from the last City Council meeting as he was in Sacramento meeting with legislators. He noted that many legislative changes coming up will have a significant impact to local government, and he encouraged everyone having issues with pending legislation to contact their State Senators, Representatives, Assembly members, the Mayor and District Council Members to let them know. He wished his wife Sylvia a happy 37 th anniversary,
commenting that without her he would not be able to do all the things he loves doing to help people.
Council Member Tran thanked the GGNA for inviting her to their recent event where she was able to meet several District 3 residents who voiced their concerns for the homeless issues, code enforcement, and parking concerns. She noted that she will be meeting with City Manager Kim to go over their concerns and come up with ways to resolve these issues. She noted that the consent item on tonight’s agenda
-11- 09/12/23
included an amended contract with 4Leaf, Inc., for building contractor services, that increased the original amount of their contract by more than 50 percent. She understands that this was a necessary cost overrun, and that City Manager Kim is keeping up on this issue. She thanked Pam Haddad, Council Liaison, for helping her with a resident by reaching out to CalTrans to address the homelessness issues.
She recognized OCFA Division Chief Covey’s participation with the rescue mission in Lahaina on the island of Maui, and noted his heartfelt reaction to the devastating loss of life and property from the recent fire.
Council Member DoVinh shared a few details from items on consent that were approved at tonight’s meeting. The approval of the License Agreement with Clear Channel for the bus shelters’ upkeep and maintenance including the revenue generated by advertisers that helps offset cost of maintenance, and he looks forward to seeing the bus stops in better condition. He asked to be provided with a list of the advertisers with a cost for advertising on the bus benches. He noted the slurry seal of roads and that he has asked for a list of the roads to be slurry sealed, and he noted the City’s healthy budget is making these improvements possible. He noted the updated amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code for designated staff positions required to file a Form 700, reflecting internal promotions of Deputy Directors, and he thanked City Manager Kim and the Human Resources Department for implementing those positions. He commented on the importance of a succession plan and a pool of experienced and capable leaders within the organization. He noted that he and Council Member Tran attended a We Care for Humanity non-profit Royal Summit event recently at the Golden Sea Restaurant.
He is proud to share that he was knighted as a humanitarian worker by Maria Leonora Amor Torres, Queen of Maharlika International and Princess of Calabarzon, and he was pleased to have had the presence of the We Care For Humanity event in Garden Grove. In response to a speaker, he noted that there is a need to address the activities at Temples located in residential neighborhoods and suggested creating an ordinance to address the concerns. He indicated he is willing to be an intermediary and arrange for tours of the temples. He commented that addressing these issues can be done taking a compassionate and methodical approach, and he encouraged operators of house temples to be considerate of the residents. He committed that he will personally work towards resolving the issues between the residents and the temple operators. He noted the upcoming trip to Sister City Anyang Korea that some of the council members will be taking, and stated that in the past he accompanied his wife, Dina Nguyen, a former Garden Grove Council Member, to Anyang, which was an experience of a lifetime. He is looking forward to this trip as a Council Member.
Council Member Klopfenstein thanked all who attended the GGNA event, and expressed that it was a great event that gave an opportunity for people to come together to creatively talk about what can be done to make improvements and changes in the City.
-12- 09/12/23
Council Member Nguyen noted the continual increase of graffiti starting at Clinton Street to Roxey Drive along Westminster Avenue, on the back wall of Antojitos Restaurant, and the block wall for Enterprise. The block walls are painted over, but graffiti is occurring daily. She asked that this be looked into. She also noted that on Euclid Street and Newhope Avenue there are overgrown weeds on the empty lot.
The underpass near OC Vector Control has multiple homeless camping there, as well as blocking the sidewalk. She gave a shout out to Public Works for the road repairs on Harbor Boulevard south of the 22 freeway in preparation of the new hotel. She wished her future husband, David Penaloza, a happy anniversary.
City Manager Kim thanked the City Council for attending the Welcome Reception for Ursula Luna-Reynosa, the newly appointed Economic Development and Housing Director. She announced that the City received a $1.92 million grant funding from the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency in support of the Navigation Center, the Special Resource Team, street outreach, and Be Well. She recognized Christy Le, Sergeant Jeff Brown, and Tim Throne for diligently working to acquire the grant.
Mayor Jones praised staff for securing the grant funding. He asked City Attorney Sandoval on the need to hold a Closed Session.
City Attorney Sandoval stated yes there were two items for discussion on the City Council agenda; and one item for discussion on the Special Meeting Agenda for the Sanitary District, which an outside counsel will be conducting the Sanitary District session as a partner in his firm represents Midway City.
Mayor Jones noted that tonight’s meeting will be closed in memory of Corporal Han Cho and of Minh Nguyen. Corporal Cho, proved himself a dedicated Police Officer who gave 28 years of service to the City of Garden Grove. He was recruited in 1995 from the Police Academy and during his career he worked as a Patrol Officer, was in the Gang Suppression Unit, Career Criminal Apprehension Team, and Neighborhood Traffic Unit. He was a member of the Hostage Negotiation Team for over 24 years, rising to the rank of Master Officer in 2006 and then to Corporal in 2022. He was known for his warmth, professionalism, dedication, and great attitude. His life was cut tragically short as a result of a traffic accident, and he will be deeply missed by his family and friends, and those who worked alongside him.
Han is survived by his parents, sisters, brother, niece, his son Christian and daughter Kaitlyn.
Anyone familiar with Garden Grove knows about Advance Beauty College, which was started by Minh and Kien Nguyen and ultimately became a beauty school empire and legacy of kindness and love. A former Navy officer, Minh and his hairdresser wife, Kien, arrived in the US after the fall of Saigon in 1975 with little to their name, but a big vision for their future. With many from Vietnam having minimal English skills, Minh saw an opportunity to teach a trade to help Vietnamese refugees transition to a new life in America. In 1987 after success with beauty
-13- 09/12/23
salons, the Nguyen’s opened their first beauty school in the heart of Little Saigon.
In 1999, brother and sister Tam and Linh Nguyen took over the family business and for over two generations, Advance Beauty College has gone on to graduate thousands of students.
A pioneer in the industry, Advance Beauty College’s rise to success has been featured on Fox News, CNN, BBC America and countless local and international publications. In addition to this national attention, Advance Beauty College has been the recipient of many awards honoring their leadership, innovation and commitment to giving back to the community. Minh Nguyen gave so much and provided so many opportunities to his community, and on behalf of the City Council Mayor Jones offered sincere condolences to the family and friends of Minh Nguyen.
