Although summer has come to an end, there are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities at the various County landmarks. Hike the County trails, soak up the sun at one of the County harbors or go for a jog at your local County park. Just remember to stay safe.
I am pleased to report on two very important events that my office was involved in recently:
The 3rd Annual Central County Senior and Caregiver Expo was held at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove. Over 1,500 eager seniors and caregivers sought the services and educational information offered! Participants enjoyed a complimentary breakfast, attended wellness workshops, took aerobic-themed dance lessons and received free glucose and bone density tests as well as information on senior-related services. The Expo gets better each year, and I intend to work with the planning committee to continue to bring more unique features to the Expo next year.
The 5th Annual Townsend-Raitt Street Fair also took place, and was held in Santa Ana. This event was created to protect our children and families from gang activities, while highlighting the positive characteristics of the Townsend-Raitt neighborhood. I am honored and proud to have been a part of this event since its creation in 2008.
Additionally, at the Townsend-Raitt Fair, I saw an opportunity to enhance the County’s recycling outreach efforts. In coordination with OC Waste & Recycling we organized an educational and innovative Recycling Pavilion. Several other organizations collaborated with us to bring exciting hands-on educational activities to the residents, and in particular, the children of this neighborhood. These organizations include Discovery Science Center, Inside the Outdoors, KidWorks, Pretend City and Waste Management. The Recycling Pavilion was a huge hit, and is a perfect educational model for the rest of the County. Thank you to all those who participated!

Success in District Attorney’s Real Estate Fraud Unit
The Orange County District Attorney’s Real Estate Fraud Unit recently published their annual report which displayed great success in prosecuting a wide variety of real estate fraud cases. The department was approved by the Board of Supervisors and allows for the continued operation of the real estate fraud hotline, outreach to law enforcement agencies and bank investigators, outreach to civic groups and professional real estate groups, real estate fraud advisory board support, and victim restitution.
The Fraud Unit was instrumental in assisting me with 17 victims who contacted my office looking for help with a complex, multi-agency case. After an extensive investigation, the District Attorney ultimately charged the defendants with conspiring to defraud these 17 victims, as well as others, out of more than $2 million in a real estate investment fraud scheme. The scheme involved investors who thought they were buying particular foreclosed properties, when in fact the properties were not on the market. The defendants were also involved in loan modification fraud. Again, I want to thank the District Attorney and his staff and the Westminster Police Department for a tremendous job in continuing their fight against real estate fraud in Orange County.
Probation Department’s North OC Regional Occupational Program
The Board of Supervisors recently voted to renew an agreement with the North Orange County Regional Occupational Program (NOCROP) for personnel support services at the County’s Youth Guidance Center (YGC) and Youth Leadership Academy (YLA), both operated by our Orange County Probation Department.
The NOCROP is an accredited career and technical training center providing career preparation classes and services for youths and adults.
Minors enrolled in NOCROP classes are placed in a job to train and gain skills in such fields as culinary arts, landscaping, carpentry and construction trades, recycling, and auto detailing. More significantly, the ability of minors to gain high school credits while receiving vocational training from NOCROP has been critical in increasing high school graduation rates for wards serving commitments.
Building 16 Moves Forward
The Board of Supervisors recently approved the selection of RELATED/Griffin to develop Building 16, the long-time vacant building in the Santa Ana Civic Center.
Since coming to the Board of Supervisors in 2007, I have pushed for a resolution to this issue of unused real estate space in the County. Building 16 has sat vacant for over 20 years, and I am excited the County is finally moving forward on this public/private partnership to create a new, state-of-the-art structure. It will be designed with the County departments needs in mind and will allow us to lessen our dependence on leasing outdated and run-down buildings, which will save the County a great deal of money in the long run and allow us to consolidate our footprint within the Civic Center area.
Additionally, as many of the leases are expiring in 2014 we need a viable solution for the displaced County departments/agencies. If we continue to stall in developing this building, we will be forced to lock-in to long-term leases or sign expensive short-term leases into perpetuity, without any hope of owning the building in the end. We will own Building 16 at the end of our lease conveyance.
Once negotiations are finalized, planning and construction of Building 16 will take approximately two years. The end result will surely transform the Civic Center and render it more enjoyable.
Haster Basin Project Continues
The Board of Supervisors authorized the selection of AECOM for construction management and inspection services for the Haster Basin, Pump Station and Recreational Field Project in Garden Grove. This firm will provide specialized construction management oversight, change order evaluations and schedule monitoring over the life of the project, which is scheduled to be complete in approximately 18 months. Once the project is complete, the surrounding area will enjoy increased flood protection and local residents will have the opportunity to utilize the new multi-use recreational space to jog, play soccer, host picnics and much more.
Orange County Child Care and Development Planning Council Appointments
The Board of Supervisors recently appointed and reappointed members to the Orange County Child Care and Development Planning Council under the Social Services Agency. This Council addresses issues dealing with all aspects of child care and development. Their mission is to mobilize public and private resources and encourage partnerships to meet the child care and development needs of children, families, and child care providers in Orange County.
Reappointments included Fredrika Gragg, Anne Broussard and Michelle Pelliccino of Santa Ana, Marcia Rudolph of Lake Forest, Constance White of Glendora and Kathleen McFarlin of Irvine. Appointments included Melinda Konoske and Karen Littlefield of Orange, Donna McInteer of Fullerton and Krista Murphy of Costa Mesa. Congratulations to all and especially those members from the First District!
Orange County Workforce Investment Board Appointments
The Board of Supervisors recently appointed two members to the Orange County Workforce Investment Board (OCWIB). The OCWIB’s purpose is to establish a comprehensive workforce development system by overseeing Orange County’s workforce development activities and designing programs in response to the workforce needs of Orange County.
Appointments included Frank Talarico and Jamie Evanoff, residents of Santa Ana. Congratulations to both members!

OCTA Explores I-405 Design Refinements to Address Public Feedback
OCTA and Caltrans are working to address the community's feedback since the draft environmental documents' release in May for plans to improve the San Diego Freeway (I-405) in Orange County between Costa Mesa and the Los Angeles County line.
The public has submitted more than 1,200 official letters and e-mails during the comment period. My staff and I have been working closely with the City of Westminster to mitigate the potential impacts to areas in their City as a result of construction. After several meetings between my office, OCTA staff, Mayor Margie Rice, and City Staff, many of the City’s concerns have been addressed.
The three construction options for the I-405 include:
Alternative 1: Add One General Purpose (GP) Lane in Each Direction
- Alternative 1 would add a single GP lane in each direction on the I-405 from Euclid Street to the I-605 interchange.
Alternative 2: Add Two General Purpose Lanes in Each Direction
- Alternative 2 would add one GP lane in each direction on I-405 from Euclid Street to the I-605 interchange (as in Alternative 1), plus add a second GP lane in the northbound direction from Brookhurst Street to the State Route 22 (SR-22) / 7th Street interchange and a second GP lane in the southbound direction from the Seal Beach Boulevard on-ramp to Brookhurst Street.
Alternative 3: Add One General Purpose Lane in Each Direction and Add Express Lanes
- Alternative 3 would add one GP lane in each direction of the I-405 freeway from Euclid Street to the I-605 interchange (as in Alternatives 1 and 2), plus add a tolled express lane in each direction of I-405 from the SR-73 to the SR-22 east. The tolled express lane and the existing HOV lanes would be managed jointly as a tolled express facility with two lanes in each direction from the SR-73 to the I-605.
In response to the public's feedback and my request for Cities within the First District, OCTA and Caltrans are exploring these project design refinements:
- Reducing impacts to parking in Westminster by altering the project design
- Truncating the express lanes under Alternative 3 north of Fairview Avenue to avoid re-construction of the Fairview Bridge
- Reconfiguring the Magnolia Avenue / Warner Avenue interchange to avoid the need to acquire up to four full businesses in Fountain Valley
- Potentially avoiding the wall relocation on Almond Avenue in the College Park East Neighborhood of Seal Beach through design variations
The OCTA Board of Directors will select their locally preferred option on September 24, 2012. Following that, Caltrans will select the final preferred option this fall. For more information on the project, visit www.octa.net.
City of Santa Ana Receives Funding for Bicycle Lane Improvements
In February 2012, the OCTA Board of Directors released the Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program 2012 call for projects, making approximately $9 million available for bicycle projects throughout Orange County. Twenty-three applications were received and proposed projects included improvements to bicycle lanes and trails, bridges, bicycle racks, crossings, and signage. All projects met the Board-approved criteria, which included project readiness, local match contribution, cost-benefit ratio, connectivity to surrounding amenities, and compliance with state and federal laws and requirements.
I am pleased to announce that the City of Santa Ana will receive funding for bicycle lane improvements to four streets for the following amounts:
- First Street - $142,695
- Chestnut Avenue - $428,739
- Maple Bike Trail - $299,720
- Newhope Street - $126,218
2012 CEO’s Initiatives and Action Plan – Second Quarter Report
At a recent OCTA Board of Director’s meeting, CEO Will Kempton provided an update on his 2012 Action Plan which consists of 14 initiatives with 54 supporting strategies and 73 milestones. The Action Plan directly supports the 2012 Chair Initiatives and the Strategic Plan goal areas: Mobility, Public Service, Fiscal Sustainability, Stewardship, and Organizational Excellence. The CEO’s Action Plan and a list of accomplishments to date can be found by clicking here.
