HISTORIC PRESERVATION WEEK PROCLAMATION
Whereas, the National Trust for Historic Preservation established May as Historic
Preservation Month in 1973 as a way to promote historic places for the purpose of
instilling national and community pride, promoting heritage tourism, and showing the
social and economic benefits of historic preservation throughout the United States; and
Whereas, May is Preservation month in both California and across the United
States; and
Whereas, on June 20, 1988, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1001 establishing
the City's Cultural Resources Overlay District within the City of Tustin to acknowledge the
original boundaries of the community; and
Whereas, on July 31, 1991 and in recognition of its efforts in historic preservation,
the City of Tustin received the designation of a "Certified Local Government" (CLG)
pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended in 1980; and
Whereas, local preservation is an effective tool for revitalizing neighborhoods,
fostering community pride and maintaining community character while enhancing
livability; and
Whereas, the City's Old Town area, other historic structures found throughout the
City and the former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin, help make Tustin unique
and provide links with the aspirations and attainments of the City's pioneers and their
descendants; and
Whereas the retention and stewardship of cultural resources is of vital importance
to protecting our heritage; and
Whereas, it is important to celebrate the role of history in the lives of the community
and contributions made by dedicated individuals in helping to preserve the tangible
aspects of the heritage that has shaped the City and the people; and
Whereas, the City of Tustin community continues to demonstrate its commitment
to preservation, as it grows and develops, through ongoing historic surveys; the
nomination of significant cultural resources to the State and National Registers of Historic
Places; the integration of historic elements through revitalization or adaptive reuse; and
the recognition, rehabilitation, and restoration of historic properties.
Now, therefore, I,Austin Lumbard, Mayor of the City of Tustin, California, on behalf
of the City Council, Mayor Pro-Tern Gallagher, Councilmembers Clark, Gomez and
Schnell, do hereby proclaim one week in May each year, as "Historic Preservation Week"
in the City of Tustin, and urge the citizens of Tustin to join me in this special observance.
