INTERIM CITY MANAGER'S REPORT There was none. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Shea made the following announcements: • Irvine is once again the Safest City of its size for violent crime, recording the lowest per capita violent crime rate for all cities in the U.S. with a population over 250,000, according to FBI data just released for calendar year 2019. It is the 15th consecutive year Irvine has recorded the lowest per capita violent crime rate for a city of its size. This success is attributed to several important factors, including: the tireless work of Irvine Police Department (IPD) personnel, residents who consistently work in partnership with IPD to prevent crime and keep our neighborhoods safe; and the support of civic leadership, both past and present, who have remained committed to Public Safety over the years. • The City of Irvine has once again been voted as “Best City to Live In” in Orange County. This is the fifth consecutive year that Irvine has received this honor in The Orange County Register’s annual “Best of OC” selections. Register readers choose the winners in each category. Schools, public safety, recreation programs, parks and trails, exciting and diverse dining and shopping, and sports facilities all provide an unmatched quality of life.

City Council Agenda October 13, 2020 Prepared by the City Clerk’s Office 4 • Vista Verde School has been named a 2020 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, making it one of 367 schools from across the nation to earn what is widely considered the nation’s highest level of recognition for public and private schools. Thirty-six schools in California received this designation, with only five from Orange County. This is the second Blue Ribbon designation for Vista Verde, which was also recognized in 1996. Overall, this is Irvine Unified School District’s 19 th Blue Ribbon School dating back to the start of the federal program in 1983. Vista Verde was recognized for a culmination of different programs and initiatives focused on a positive school climate, positive student behavior, student academic performance, parent involvement, and a strong sense of family and community. • The deadline to register to vote in the November 3 election is October 19. Eligible voters may register online at registertovote.ca.gov. After October 19, residents can still register and vote provisionally in the November 3 election. Provisional ballots are counted after elections officials have confirmed that the voter is registered to vote in the county and has not already cast a ballot in the election. In addition, registration status, ballot status, and more can be viewed at ocvote.com. The Orange County Registrar’s office has started mailing vote-by-mail ballots to all registered voters. Ballots can be mailed or placed in a Ballot Drop Box. There are seven Drop Boxes available in Irvine and even more throughout Orange County. In-person voting is also available at any Vote Center, 14 of which are located in Irvine, including one here at the Irvine Civic Center. Vote Centers will be open from Friday, October 30 through Tuesday, November 3.

Orange County Mayors wanted to send a powerful message to residents, businesses, and visitors that we are in this together and we must work together to keep fighting coronavirus in our communities. With children back in school and more businesses reopening, wearing masks is more important than ever to ensure that progress is maintained, keeping cases low and preventing another shutdown.
