This action will formally adopt the 3/1 Marines by City Council Resolution providing for nominal, in -kind support of events and programs as well as greater participation with the Huntington Beach 3/1 Marines Foundation in support of the men, women, and families of the 3/1 Marines. Financial Impact: None to nominal fiscal impact due primarily to in -kind support/staff time related to support of events and programs and hosting of informational web page. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2016-53, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Adopting the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, United States Marine Corps, Camp Pendleton." Alternative Action(s): The City Council can provide alternative direction to Staff regarding support of the 3/1 Marines. Analysis: In April 2005, the City Council, through a proclamation of the City Council, adopted the 3/1 Marines stationed at Camp Pendleton. Following that City Council action, the Huntington Beach 3/1 Marines Foundation was formed to oversee all projects and programs in support of these brave men, women and their families. Over the years, through the generous donations of Huntington Beach residents, businesses, service clubs and schools, a variety of support has been provided to the Marines and their families. The Annual 3/1 Marine 5K Fun Run/Walk was started as a fundraising campaign and has grown each year in its success. Numerous other Orange County cities have adopted various Marine battalions and have done so through a formal City Council approved Resolution which allows for nominal City support while relying on wider community support for general donations. The Huntington Beach 3/1 Marines Foundation, a non-profit corporation, will remain the primary community support vehicle and, through this action, the City's support will be defined in order to continue our community's strong and unwavering support for our adopted Marines and their families.
