Subject: CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE JULY 2, 2018, CITY
COUNCIL MEETING — ZACH MARTINEZ DEDICATION AT
PATRIOT POINT
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On Memorial Day 2010, Mr. Zach Martinez raised a flag on the bluffs in Huntington
Beach, he called this spot "Patriot Point." From that day on, it became a sanctuary for
Veterans coping with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and for anyone wishing to
remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Mr. Martinez may have passed away but his spirit of community has left a lasting
impression on the community. His compassion touched many in the Huntington Beach
community, including myself, and I would like to honor his commitment to the City and
to our Veterans by memorializing his vision of Patriot Point.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct the City Manager to return with a proposal to purchase a plaque commemorating
the life and dedication of Mr. Martinez and install said plaque at Patriot Point.
