Yesterday, the Irvine Police Department (IPD) became aware of a planned protest scheduled to take place this afternoon at Irvine City Hall in response to the tragic death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Irvine Police Chief Mike Hamel and IPD immediately began planning for this event with the goal of providing a safe environment for all involved.
I want to report that approximately 125 protesters were at our City Hall today exercising their First Amendment rights.
At a special meeting on May 29, the Irvine City Council voted to establish a program to provide financial support to small businesses impacted by COVID-19.
Funding for the Local Business Support Program comes from a $5 million grant from the County of Orange, through the federally approved CARES Act. Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner presented the $5 million check to the Council at Friday’s meeting – only a couple of days after the County approved the funding.
