Subject. CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE APRIL 18, 2016, CITY
COUNCIL MEETING — DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
TO BRING BACK FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION THE
FORMAL ADOPTION OF THE 3RD BATTALION/1ST MARINES.
� Al:IM=Qkd191J&1-111
In April 2005, the City Council, through a proclamation of the City Council, adopted the 3rd
Battalion/1't Marine Regiment, stationed at Camp Pendleton. Following the 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 Run,
which just took place on March 12, 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 many have
done so through a formal City Council approved resolution that 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.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct the City Manager to bring back for consideration a Resolution formally adopting the 3rd
Battalion/l't Marine Regiment, providing for nominal in -kind City support of events and
programs, defining our relationship with the Huntington Beach 3/1 Marines Foundation, as well
as providing for the use of the City's website to provide access for interested residents,
businesses, schools, and community groups to support the 3rd Battalion/1't Marine Regiment.
