HUSTON, CITY MANAGER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RENAMING OF "BRUNO DRIVE" TO "BRUNS DRIVE" SUMMARY: Itt July 1999, the Community Development Department received a request to rettame "Brutto Drive", a public street within the Barcelona Community (Tract 14295) itt Tustin Rattch, to "Bruns Drive", in honor of Tustin High School Class of 1949 graduate attd Korean War casual~y John Bruns. Streets within the tract were named in 1992 and selected from a list based on .the American Legion Post #227 Tustin War Memorial Inadvertently, the list provided to the City contained an incorrect spelling of Mr. Bruns' last name. The City surveyed Bruno Drive residents to receive their opinions on the requested changed. Of the 'thirty-five (35) property owners, twenty-two (22) oppose the change, eight (8) support the change, and five (5) did not respontL RECOMMENDATION Pleasure of the Council. BACKGROUND Bruno Drive is a public street within the Barcelona community (Tract 14295) of Tustin Ranch approved on January 20, 1992. The name "John R. Bruno" was listed on the original City of Tustin Street Naming Committee approved "List of Street Names" dated January 3, 1989. During the preparation of the "List of Approved Street Names" in 1988, · Gerald Feldman, Chairman of the Street Naming Committee, sent a letter to Mr. Tony Coco of the Tustin Historical Society asking him to review and update as necessary a potential list of names (see Attachment B) for use as future street names. The list included the name "John R. Bruno" and other names based on the names on the Tustin War Memorial dedicated by the American Legion Post #227. No correction to the spelling of "John' R. Bruno" resulted from the correspondence. The list was then presented to the City Council at their meeting on January 3, 1989, and incorporated into the overall list of approved street names for future developments within Tustin Ranch. The name "Bruno" was subsequently used for one of the street names in the Barcelona development. City Council Report Bruno Drive Name Change November 1, 1999 Page 2 DISCUSSION On June 24, 1999, staff received a copy of a letter to the editor of the Tustin News from Ms. Marjorie Gorrie making an open request to rename "Bruno Drive" to "Bruns Drive" to honor Tustin High Class of 1949 graduate and Korean war veteran John Bruns. To determine support for such a change, staff sent a survey on July 21, 1999, to the owners of the thirty-five (35) properties located on Bruno Drive and the Barcelona Homeowners' Association. Staff received twenty-one (21)' responses to this survey, with two (2) of the responses being supportive of the change and nineteen (19) responses opposed to the change. At that time, many of the responses questioned the impacts of such a change. Staff sent out a second survey to the thirty-five (35) property owners on August 13, 1999, with the following information: · The City would change all affected street signs at no cost to the residents; · Residents would not have to change legal documents such as grant deeds, trusts, and wills. Generally, these types of documents refer to a property's legal description rather than a street address. The proposed change would not alter the legal descriptions of any of the parcels on Bruno Drive. · Residents would not have to file an address change with the United States Postal Service. The CitYwould notify the Postmaster of such a change. · Residents would need to change the addresses on their personal stationary, checks, and bills. Staff received thirty (30) responses to the second survey. Of these, eight (8) respondents support the change and twenty-two (22) respondents are opposed to the change. Staff was unable to contact the five (5) non-respondents. A summary of the survey responses and comments is provided as Attachment C. In addition to the formal survey responses, the City has received numerous letters from members of the public on this issue. Specifically, the City has received eighteen (18) letters supporting the proposed change from all over the country and a petition supporting the change with 154 signatures. ALTERNATIVES The following alternative actions are available to the Council: · Direct staff to prepare a resolution to rename the street; · Name a street after Mr. Bruns in the second phase of Tustin Ranch Estates. A portion of Tract 13627 is envisioned as a custom lot estate subdivision. At this time, subdivision maps have not been filed and street names have not been assigned to this future development. · Name a street after Mr. Bruns in the future Medium-Low Single Family Residential development on Lot 6 at the northeast corner of Rawlings and Township Drives. City Council Report Bruno Drive Name Change November 1, 1999 Page 3 Name a future street or park within the future Tustin Legacy development at MCAF-Tustin after Mr. Bruns (This alternative has also been suggested by a number of the survey respondents). Dedicate a memorial to Mr. Bruns and/or other war casualties. In keeping with the theme of "growers, pioneers and patriots" for Phase IV of Tustin Ranch, Cedar Grove Park could be a suitable location for such a memorial. Name or re-name a park after Mr. Bruns.

Comments enclosed with their survey responses include the following: · The name should be changed to reflect the original intent. · Any inconvenience caused by having to revise checks, documents, business cards, etc. is trivial in relation to Mr. Bruns' sacrifice for our countrY. · (Respondent is) supportive but would like to see a delay of six (6) months to allow residents to use up stationarY, checks, address labels, etc. · It is the right thing to do regardless of where the fault lies for the typographical error. · Since it was the intent for this street to honor Mr. Bruns and the remaining streets in the development are named for other war casualties, it would not mean the same if another street is named for Mr. Bruns. OPPOSED TO THE PROPOSED NAME CHANGE Twenty-two (22) survey respondents were opposed to the proposed name change. Comments enclosed with their survey responses include the following: · It would be too costly and time consuming to change all of the affected documents, labels, checks, etc. · Name a different street after Mr. Bruns. · There are too many people to notify and things to change. (The respondent) doesn't need this on top of the approaching Y2K issue. · Too much time and money has been spent on this issue. Bruno Drive has had its existing name for seven years. Name a new street after Mr. Bruns. · There are enough new developments where "Bruns" could be used, including at the Marine Corps Air Station. · There are four listings in the White Pages for the surname "Bruno" in the City of Tustin. The City should see if one of those households has a war veteran who could be honored by the name "Bruno Drive". · It has been too long to claim that this is a typographical error that needs to be corrected. · The time, efforts and resources of the City of Tustin should not be driven by people who do not reside within the city limits.

Why did the City of Tustin waste money or time with two (2) surveys? When was the public hearing on this issue? The decision was made by Council Members based on the input of some very vocal people that have more time than the twenty -one residents that responded against the renaming of our street have. The survey apparently meant nothing. I felt that my preparation and appearance was a total waste of my time. The issues that I had raised in my previous letter are still not answered. The residents of Bruno Drive received a letter stating that City Staff would present these `findings, letters and alternatives' to the Council on November 1, 1999 No discussion in this notice mentioned a final vote would be taken. The only way that one would know a final vote would be taken would be based other knowledge. I see now that the decision would not be based on the ones impacted, but purely based on politics and a desire to put `the issue to rest' I appreciate the fact that the Council had already heard from numerous non - residents on the `mistake but did you really think that people from outside our community that were against this issue were really going to take the time necessary to `fight'? I think that the answer is no. There was not one person from elsewhere that would take the time since there is not quite the impact on them. When did Council take the time to really understand where the residents were coming from in a forum such as an Open Hearing? I did not see one member of Council take time to discuss this issue with all residents of BRUNO DRIVE. Tonight's meeting did not include any such hearing. Twenty -one out of thirty-five voices fell on deaf ears. Obviously I am very upset with the actions tonight. Do you honestly think that I don't believe in correcting a wrong? Or that I am not patriotic? There seems to be some issues that if enough people make enough noise, the ones that are quiet will always go unheard — survey or not! I look forward to your prompt reply to this and my previous letter since the Council Meeting does not seem to be the forum to have unbiased discussions on issues.

Please allow me to introduce us to you. We, the Bell Family were one of the first families to move to Bruno Drive back in December 1992. After reviewing the many discussions, articles and letters on the subject of renaming the street that our home is located on, we felt compelled to write a letter. The issue is not a simple matter of renaming a street. The issue impacts the lives of the 35 families that live here. We have all read the remarks by the many people who do not live on Bruno Drive or for that matter even in the City of Tustin. There seems to be some confusion about the impact to those of us that live on Bruno and I would like to point out some basic observations about a street name change. First, we have noticed that the individuals who have written in support of the change have made incorrect statements, such as the City of Tustin caused this error or that the error occurred over 50 years ago. To my knowledge, the error was caused about 7 years ago and whose fault it was does not effect the final outcome of this issue. The United States Post Office (USPS) has stated that a street name change will not affect mail delivery but they already have a problem getting the mail delivered correctly to Bruno Drive. The USPS is just one agency what about UPS, Federal Express, flower & restaurant delivery services, and all the other delivery agencies that rely on accurate maps? How long will it take for map companies such as Thomas Brothers to update all the books or Mapquest to update their databases on the Internet that show where 'Bruns' Drive is located? The cost associated with this change may be incidental to some, but for those of us that are faced with the change we think this is an inconvenience that we should not be faced with. The changes that we are faced with include, but are not limited to, new checks, new address labels, change of address notification for the DMV utilities, magazines, associations, credit cards, friends and relatives, stationary (for those with home based businesses), and legal documents (e.g. Personal Trusts). These costs are not only monetary but also time consuming and will be an ongoing process for many years to come. We have been accused of not being patriotic or not caring. That could not be farther from the troth The truth of the matter is that we believe that there is enough other developments (including one right across Pioneer) that could have a street named after John Bruns. The man did die for our country along with many others, and deserves to be recognized. I must ask the question, that if this was such an important issue to be corrected, why was this not corrected 5 -7 years ago? Public information about this error has been available for several years. The logical solution to this problem is a compromise between the efforts of the Tustin High School class of 1949 and the residents on Bruno Drive. The suggestion to name a new street in the area after John Bruns is by far the best solution for all parties. We are just twenty-two homes verses many non - residents. Please listen to the majority voice of the neighborhood and implement a plan to honor John Bruns with another street. Contrary to some opinions, Bruno Drive does have a meaning — it means `home' to the residents of the street. Thank you for reading our thoughts. Douglas AI Bell Cheryl L.

I have also learned that the majority of owners of the several residences located on that street are opposed to the correction. Although I do not live in Tustin, I have worked in your city for several years and would ask this opportunity to comment on what seems to me an important issue. As a native Orange Countian and someone who lost a family member in combat, I have appreciated Tustin's tradition of concern for its citizens in military uniform. It is very commendable that the City would wish to honor its war dead by naming streets in an entire neighborhood for those people. That is a shining example of Tustin's patriotic commitment and, indeed, one thing that has set it apart from many other cities in the County I suspect that few, if any, of the residents of this street have served in the U.S. military, or lost a family member in combat, or are old enough to have been directly affected by the Korean War Even so, there is no reason for them to dishonor the memory of a fellow citizen who gave his life. They are enjoying things that an early death denied to Mr. Bruns, including the blessings of living in what was his hometown. If these people feel inconvenienced by having to get new checks, address labels, and personalized stationery, their "inconvenience" should be recognized for what it is - insignificant. Mr Bruns left to Tustin the priceless legacy of a truly good name. Names of the other streets in that neighborhood honoring your war dead are spelled correctly The City owes nothing less to him than to ensure that his named is spelled correctly, too. Since it was a City error in the first place, you might even find it in your budget to provide, say, $25 per household to those 19 residences for having checks, stationery, and address labels reprinted. That would amount to the grand sum of $475 I urge you not to allow a tiny group of selfish, ungrateful residents to dictate the conscience of your City John Bruns paid the ultimate sacrifice. You can thank him by a small yet meaningful gesture of respect. When you consider how to vote, please ask yourself "What is the greater good ?' There is only one answer to that question, and that is to correct an unfortunate error It may not be a popular decision with a handful of residents, but it is the right one and you will live in solid comfort with it for the rest of your life.

I understand that there is a certain amount of inconvenience involved and certainly there will be a cost impact. However the cost impact has to be small compared to the money spent on other items within the city budget. The simple solution is to admit that there was a mistake made at the time, apologize & state that the error will be corrected. Additionally an apology & explanation should be sent to all residents on the street and ask for their understanding and cooperation. Common sense indicates that this is an error government officials should correct without an outcry from the citizens of the area. Thanks for your consideration, on Arvid & JoAnn Bollesen 14271 Olive Tree Circle Tustin, Calif. 92780 • • My name is Al Enderle. I live at 13722 Judy Anne Lane. I am privileged to present to you a petition signed by classmates and friends of John Bruns in support of correcting the street name error in the Barcelona tract where the streets are named after those from Tustin who were killed in action. John graduated from Tustin High School in 1949 Back then Tustin High was a small school and everyone knew each other John was class president. I remember the hikes he and I, along with others, took over the very land where Patriot Way and the street that was supposed to be named after him are located. None of us, especially John, ever thought that a street would be named after him. It would be convenient to leave Bruno Drive as it is in favor of naming another street somewhere else after John however, the error would always be there In a development where the streets are named after our dead, Bruno is out of place. It may be a good name, but not there. Seldom do we have the opportunity to right a wrong particularly when it concerns someone we all loved and respected. Having had phone numbers and street names changed, I can understand why not all of those who live on Bruno Drive are in full support of a name correction however, I believe that, were John their son, or from their school and town they would want the error corrected. Bruno Drive is where Bruns Drive was supposed to be. The Barcelona tract and Patriot Way are where his comrades at arms are and, while it may be mostly sentiment, isn't that what makes us different? A couple of hundred years from now I don't suppose Bruns street will mean much to those living on it yet we are a people who value memories, especially of those who died so that we didn't have to die. I also choose to believe that everyone who knows about the error would want to see it corrected. Not just because it can be corrected but because they know that John died in someone's place, another Amencan, who might have been their son, their brother, their father or their husband. e Lib Z ' Q S • September 24, 1999 We, the undersigned, petition the Council Members of the City of Tustin to correct the spelling of the street named for John Richard Bruns in the Barcelona tract north of Patriot Way in Tustin Ranch from BRUNO Drive to BRUNS Drive.

(2) The current residents would suffer a hardship of some sort in changing the spelling In the middle 60 s street names across the county were consoli- dated not the least of which was Delhi Road starting at Red Hill being changed to Warner and Warner reaching the ocean It can be done Over the years Tustin has benefitted by the presence of the Marines Not just the occasional purchase of a haircut for example but Marines spending for goods and services Former and retired Marines are even now residents /homeowners part of the Tustin population The Base itself annexed by Tustin will further contribute to Tustin's fortunes I cannot under- stand why over the years the city would have no problem accep- ting this bounty from Marines and yet be so reluctant to honor a Marine in return especially since John Bruns was one of Tustin s own I m not a Tustin resident hence not a voter I cannot influence your vote but I can suggest as a Marine that you do what is right Correct the name of a fellow Marine and honor him S; cerely �ySg Jay A Lindsey USMC(Ret) • • RECEIVED NOV - 1 1999 ADMINISTRATION City of Tustin City Council Mayor Tracy Worley 300 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92680 Dear City Officials & Citizens of Tustin: 12804 Pine Tree Lane Fort Washington, MD 20744 -5354 (301) 292 -4053 October 25 1999 This letter is to seek your support in correcting an inadvertent error that has been committed in your fine city of Tustin. The error is the incorrect spelling of a street name. Tustin had named the street BRUNS in honor of a young Tustin citizen, John Bruns, a Marine who had been killed in action during the Korean War However, due to an unintentional error the street signs display the name BRUNO I am sure the city officials and citizens of Tustin have no intention of dishonoring the memory of John Bruns. Likewise, I am sure that Marine Bruns would not, and members of his family do not, wish to create a problem for the city of Tustin. However, I believe that it is only proper that this unintended error be corrected. The street should be officially commissioned and called by its originally designated name BRUNS. To properly honor a young man who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, city and his fellow Americans surely takes precedent over the desire of a few residents who wish to avoid the short- time bother of having to modify the street address of their current home. Furthermore, if statistical mobility trends remain the same, a majority of the current residents of BRUNS Street will move from that location to a new location within ten years.

I commend my fellow members of the class of 1949 for pursuing a correction, but I disapprove of their way of amending the error The residents of Bruno Street are being made to look like villains and unpatriotic because of their unwillingness to have their street name changed. It is more than check changes and address changes. Personal papers, wills, deeds, plot maps, etc must also be changed. Why should they bear the burden and complication of their lives for a mistake made years ago? Many of the petition signers and letter writers no longer live m the City of Tustin A simple solution is to name a new street for John Bruns with perhaps a dedication ceremony This would save both time and money and put the matter to rest.

We're sure that the family of John Bruns found it "inconvenient" to lose him Do the Tustin City Council members truly honor our local service per`nnel, especially those who paid the ultimate price when answering America's call?

We are at the point of embarrassment for all Barcelona residents, which lead us to writing this letter Lest certain individuals and the general public view ALL residents of Barcelona as unpatriotic or insensitive and selfish, we would like to avert this perception. We want to be included in the numbers that are FOR changing the name and correcting the mistake that was made several years ago As family members of a 40 -year Marine veteran, we know about patriotism and sacrifice. We also know what it is like to have our family name misspelled on too many occasions, by inattention to detail or simple assumption. As one of the original Barcelona families for 6 'A of its 7 years, when we first moved here we fell in love with the pristine surrounding areas. We would hate to see this issue spread all over the country on nation -wide news programs, marring the tranquility and ambiance of our homes. Many of us had no idea that the streets were named for our War dead. Now we know If this issue is not settled very soon, then it could very likely get unsavory national attention, being viewed as a petty issue blown out of all proportion. The City Council should do all possible to avoid this happening. We DO NOT know the Bruns family nor any of his classmates, living or dead. We realize we live in a democratic country While enjoying these freedoms as the norm, there are times when democracy is not required. In this instance, all that is required is to make the correction, and inform the residents of the change. We personally know several of the residents on Bruno and consider them to be highly intelligent, reasonable, sensitive and caring neighbors. While it might be an inconvenience for a short period of time, they will get over it, some soon& than others. Putting Bruns' name in another development will not have the same impact or meaning as having it here in Barcelona. This is where it was originally intended and this is where it should stay 'JUST DO IV' Respectfully /5.- 4 IJ " G 1- /- ;i C !s 2✓ cc: Barcelona H. 0 Association • • Staff received the following phone messages in support of the name change from Bruno to Bruns Drive.
