Dear Member,
Our City Council recently created city citations for illegal fireworks usage which will be initiated on the 4th of July of this year. Anyone who uses illegal fireworks will receive a citation at the time of violation and a fine of up to $1,000.00. Our Police Department will be out in force, with upwards of 90 officers, patrolling and issuing citations for illegal fireworks usage. The illegal fireworks are dangerous and hazardous to people and property. Our City Council has stepped up to crackdown on illegal fireworks!
The outcome of the first supervisor race has yet to be finalized. We have been without a County Supervisor representing our district since January. A trial is set for March 21st to determine the final outcome of the election. Janet Nguyen, Garden Grove Councilmember, won the recount and was certified by the Registrar of Voters, Neal Kelley. The second place candidate, Trung Nguyen, Garden Grove School Board Member, has challenged the recount. There will be a vacancy created for either our City Council or school board depending on the outcome of the trial.
Our City Council will decide soon, who will serve on the various voluntary commission positions. If you are interested you can contact the City Clerk, Ruth Smith, at 741-5040, or fill out an application on line at, http://www.ci.garden-grove.ca.us/ just click on application under Key Links.
Update on proposed Super-Walmart, grocery and retail store: the planning department is awaiting the three impact reports. The three impact reports include: environmental, traffic and economic. The reports are compiled by the applicant. Our planning commission and city council will review the reports and listen to public input before making a decision.
We are pleased to welcome a new interim board member, Russ McDonald. He is a twenty five year resident of Garden Grove, President and founder of USS Montrose Veterans Association and serves in our local AARP.
Please complete the enclosed survey. We are interested in hearing where our membership stands on the possibly of banning fireworks, a proposed Super-Walmart, and creating separate city council districts. We thank you for your time and interest in advance.
Thoughtfully,
Robin Marcario, Chair
