CITY COUNCIL MEETING — COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MIKE POSEY, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2021
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY VETERANS
CEMETERY IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
On March 17, 2014, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted a Resolution in support of
Assembly Bill 1453, which called for the establishment of a Southern California Veterans
Cemetery in Orange County. Initially, local veteran groups sought to have the cemetery located
in Irvine, but given a variety of local considerations, there has been a recent shift in consensus as
to where the cemetery should be located. Today, rather than the facility being sited in Irvine,
veteran groups and various government entities are advocating that the cemetery be located in
Anaheim on property owned by the County of Orange.
To advance the new site proposal, on July 20, 2021, the Anaheim City Council unanimously voted
in support of housing the Southern California Veterans Cemetery in their community. The
proposal to build the cemetery in Anaheim has also garnered support from various Orange
County and State officials, with County committing $20 million dollar towards the project.
Further, the proposal to locate the cemetery in Anaheim also has the support of the Veterans
Alliance of Orange County, every Veterans of Foreign Wars post in our region, and multiple
American Legion posts.
Given these recent developments, I am recommending that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution to have Huntington Beach support the placement of the Orange County Veterans
Cemetery in the City of Anaheim.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution, which supports the development of
a veterans cemetery on property owned by Orange County in located within the City of Anaheim.
