Franklin Accounting voters to pass an ambitious community

Hall will commemorate its 50th anniversary! Recently, I met with two of our Citys longtime leaders former Council member and current Planning Commissioner Mary Ann Gaido and Council member Larry Agran, former Mayor and current Council member to discuss the past five decades.

During our Citys first two decades, Irvines leaders established the Irvine General Plan while successfully rallying voters to pass an ambitious community parks bond issue and a remarkable Open Space Preserve Initiative. The City made international news in the late 1980s when we became the first in the world to ban CFCs and other ozone-depleting chemicals.

Things changed dramatically in the 1990s. In 1988, Mayor Agran authored and won approval for a comprehensive Human Rights Ordinance which was years ahead of other cities and the first of its kind in Orange County. But, not everyone in Irvine was happy with that ordinance.

The religious-right took aim at Agran and launched a vicious political attack against him. Heading the fight against Agrans Human Rights Ordinance was Christina Shea, who led an aggressive initiative campaign to overturn the Ordinances provisions protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination. Sheas attacks on Agrans ordinance divided the City, and resulted in both Agran and Gaido being defeated in the 1990 Irvine City Council election.
