GG to Gavin: Open Disneyland!

The Garden Grove City Council met Tuesday night and powered through a light agenda, and offered some advice to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

An urgency item added to the agenda toward the end of the meeting was sending a letter to the governor urging him to make possible the re-opening of the Disney Resort in Anaheim.

About 8,000 jobs in Garden Grove are tied to the tourism created by the huge amusement complexes of Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure, the council was told.

A motion to send the letter was approved on a 7-0 vote.

Also approved were:

• rejection of all bids and approval to readvertise an invitation for bids for the renovation of Garden Grove Park.
• adoption of a resolution approving the submittal of an application to the Orange County Transportation Authority for the construction phase of the Euclid/Westminster Intersection Improvement Project;
• awarding a contract to G4S Secure Solutions (USA) for civilian jail contract services, with a three-year contract with total cost of $3,182,944.
