City honors former mayor Mark A. Murphy; Orange Public Library Foundation donates $20,000
Summary
The council opened with a memorial adjournment for former Mayor Mark A. Murphy, with tributes from congressional and state offices; the Orange Public Library Foundation presented a $20,000 check to support books and digital resources.
The Jan. 28 City Council meeting opened with a memorial adjournment in honor of former Mayor Mark A. Murphy, who died in December. The mayor read a council resolution noting Murphy’s decades of local service, his work on parks and transportation, and his community involvement.
Representatives from several legislative offices offered tributes recorded into the public record: the office of Congressman Lou Correa submitted remarks and a congressional record statement, the offices of Congresswoman Young Kim and Assemblymember Avelino Valencia provided floor statements or resolutions, and state senators’ offices provided memorial adjournments.
Shortly afterward, Lynn Marie Frediani and other members of the Orange Public Library Foundation presented a $20,000 check to the City to help purchase books and digital materials that the foundation said will support the library’s adult-literacy and teen-innovation programs amid library budget constraints.
What happens next: The council adjourned in Murphy’s memory and the foundation’s contribution will be processed through city procedures to support library acquisitions and programs.
