In a related matter, the council may appoint two of its members to the Ad Hoc Committee for the parade.

Also on Wednesday night, the council will receive reports on the estimated costs of the Quang Tri Monument Committee, which were placed at $77,143.01. The panel was tasked with planning for the proposed monument celebrating the 1972 retaking of the Quang Tri Citadel by South Vietnamese forces with American assistance during the Vietnam War.

Most of those costs are attributed to staff time.

That project has since been abandoned in the wake of disagreements over the location and content of the proposed project. Also tallied was the cost of the Measure C ballot measure, placed before voters in 2022 on the issue of whether the office of mayor be should be changed from direct election to being selected from among the five members of the council. The number of council districts would have been increased from four to five. Measure C was rejected by voters and the cost was put at $144,237. Most of those costs are from the Orange County Registrar of Voters. that it represented a ban on the rainbow “gay pride” flag.
