HISTORY

Don Gaspár de Portolá, a Spanish

expedition party leader, discovered a

picturesque valley and river in Southern

California, which he christened Santa

Ana, in honor of Saint Anne, on July

26, 1769. José Antonio Yorba, a youth-

ful expedition soldier, and his nephew

Juan Peralta, were given a Spanish

land grant for the area. They developed

the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana for

cattle grazing and productive farm-

land. In 1869, William H. Spurgeon

purchased 70 acres from the Yorba

family and plotted a townsite. The new

town was given the name Santa Ana.

In 1886, Santa Ana was incorporated

as a city. Orange County was separated

from Los Angeles in 1889, and Santa

Ana was designated the County Seat.

Santa Ana is the financial and govern-

mental center of Orange County and a

major city in the state.

a b o u t s a n t a a n a

about tHE MaYoR

First elected to the Santa Ana City Council in 1986, Mayor Miguel Pulido has proven to be a leader, not only within the community, but regionally and nationally. Mayor Pulido has focused his efforts on improving the quality of life for all Santa Ana residents. During his term of office, the City of Santa Ana has benefited from a tremendous growth in economic opportunities. Mayor Pulido has also taken a lead role in facilitat-ing business opportunities in the global economy. He formed the Mayor’s Task Force on Arts and Culture, which has been instrumental in the development of the Artists Village in downtown Santa Ana . Placing an emphasis on education, Mayor Pulido brought in California State University Ful-lerton’s graduate arts program and facilitated the relocation of the Orange County High School of the Arts into Santa Ana. He led the City’s effort to locate the Discovery Science Center in the City’s

Museum District and worked aggressively on the $10 million Bowers Museum expansion. During the Mayor’s tenure, over 60 neighborhood associations have been formed to reflect a strong community presence. The partnerships that Mayor Pulido has fostered between business and neighborhood leaders and City Hall have resulted in broader participation in government issues.

The City of Santa Ana was incorporated on June 1, 1886. A City Charter was adopted in 1952, which established a Council/Manager form of Government. A Council consisting of six Council members and a directly elected Mayor governs the City. Council candidates are nominated from wards, but elected by voters from the entire city. Council members are elected to four-year terms and the mayor is elected every two years. The City Council meets in Council Chambers in regular sessions the first and third Mondays of each month at 6:00 pm, or the following Tuesday if Monday is a holiday.

Livability is the watchword of pride for 64 active associations represent-ing neighborhoods with homes that span the past 116 years! As a result, people know their neighbors and take an active role in issues that improve their quality of life. In Santa Ana, “over the back yard fence” and “town hall” forms of networking ensure that residents’ voices are often heard all the way to City Hall. They truly make a difference in the decision-making process. Throughout the year, you’ll experience a host of neighborhood events and activities, including home tours, garden shows, concerts, and art exhibits, all in the context of neighborhood fun and pride.

In Santa Ana, residential neighborhoods range from custom-built homes to older historic treasures to more contemporary tract developments. In many areas, an abundance of large yards and mature trees are a reflection of times past. In others, the emergence of live/work artists’ lofts are breathing new life into the meaning of downtown urban living.

Industrial strength

Many people do not associate Orange County with manufac-turing, but the Orange County

economy is built on more than tourism and upscale shopping centers. The county has a strong manufacturing sec-tor that includes sophisticated technol-ogy companies (medical devices and computer chips), aerospace firms and medical device manufacturers. These are industries that rely on a highly skilled workforce, something Orange County is able to provide in abundance. Of all businesses in Orange County, 22.3% are engaged in manufacturing. [The next largest sectors are services (15.8%) and retail (12.1%)].

Of all businesses in Orange County,

22.3% are engaged in manufacturing.

Due to its relatively high-cost posi-tion, Orange County cannot support low-wage, low-skill manufacturers. Dur-ing the recession, many manufacturing firms closed down or moved their low value-added operations outside the county while keeping high value-added activities like research and develop-ment, design and engineering in Orange County.

Because manufacturing employ-ment is cyclical, the short-term trend is one of decline in the number of manufacturing jobs within the County. Orange County employs more workers in the durable goods sector, producing products like computers, machinery and transportation equipment. How-ever, there are a significant number of people employed in the apparel

(primarily surf and skate oriented), and food manufacturing industries.

In 2009, Orange County had 154,574 workers employed in its manufacturing industries. In 2006, prior to the recession, there were 181,795 manufacturing jobs in the county. Thus, the county saw a 15.0% decline in manufacturing jobs over the course of the recession. However, recent manufacturing job losses were compounded by the recession, and are not a continuation of a longer-term trend. Since 2000, the county has lost 63,357 manufacturing jobs, a decline of -29.1%.

The Computer & Electronic Prod-ucts industry has long been the biggest manufacturing sector in the county in terms of employment with 33,722 jobs in 2009. It also suffered the steep-est decline in jobs over the last three years (-19.6%). Fabricated Metal Products is the second largest manufacturing sector by num-ber of jobs with 21,648 workers in 2009, followed by “Miscellaneous.”

The Miscel-laneous sector in-cludes medical de-vices, jewelry and toys (among other things) and was the only category to add workers during the past decade (although

the number is quite small). Miscel-laneous manufacturing added +247 jobs (an increase of +1.5%) between 2006-2009 and +952 jobs (+5.9%) since 2000. Almost all of that growth occurred in the Medical Equipment & Supplies sector, which saw employment expand from 1,109 workers in 2000 to 12,794 in 2009. Rounding out the top five sectors in 2009 were Transporta-tion Equipment, which includes Aero-space Products & Parts, (13,879 jobs) and Machinery (+9,467 jobs).

Long seen as the one of the best routes to the middle class for less educated workers, manufacturing jobs have traditionally paid relatively high wages in Orange County. With

He Made It All Happen

firSt AmEricAn’S DonAlD KEnnEDy

pASSES AwAy At AgE 93

First American Financial Corpora-tion, the leading global provider

of title insurance and settlement services for real estate transactions, announced in March that chairman emeritus Donald P. Kennedy had passed away at the age of 93. Dur-ing his career with First American, Kennedy helped to lead the company’s extraordinary growth from a one-office firm in Santa Ana into a global FORTUNE 500 company and helped introduce many of the technological innovations that transformed the title insur-ance industry.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Don Kennedy,” said Dennis J. Gilmore, chief executive officer for First American. “Don was a true visionary and a man of tremendous integrity who was ad-mired by all those who knew him. While we will greatly miss his wise counsel and quick wit, he leaves behind a legacy of creativity and innovation that will always remain with our company.”

When Kennedy began leading First Ameri-can’s expansion efforts in 1957, the com-pany’s revenues were less than $1.5 million. By 2006, they exceeded $8 billion. In a spin-off transaction completed in 2010, First American’s data businesses became a sepa-rate company known as CoreLogic. First American and CoreLogic are now traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

The grandson of First American’s founder, C.E. Parker, Kennedy served First American for more than 60 years. He is credited with beginning the company’s expansion efforts in 1957 with the acquisition of title compa-nies outside the Santa Ana area. Kennedy’s strategy of allowing the leadership of each First American office to operate as if it was its own company played a key role in driving this expansion and the company’s profitabil-ity. First American continued to grow in later decades through international expansion and through the addition of other businesses whose products and services were involved

in the real estate transaction process. In 1985, the company began developing and acquiring extensive databases of real prop-erty information, and offered products and services using this data.

Parker S. Kennedy, First American’s chair-man and Donald Kennedy’s son stated, “When Dad started with First American, the company had one office in one county and now it has hundreds of offices throughout the world. He saw the opportunity for growth and worked tirelessly to create a great com-pany. I couldn’t have asked for a better dad and the company couldn’t have had a better leader.”

Donald Kennedy, whose family roots in Orange County date to 1873, attended Santa Ana High School and graduated from Stanford University in 1940. After serving in the Navy during World War II, where he took part in the landings in Southern France, he graduated from the University of Southern California School of Law.

Kennedy joined First American in 1948, when it was known as Orange County Title Company. After passing the bar exam in 1949, he served as the company’s associate counsel for three years, then was appointed vice president of First American in 1951, executive vice president in 1958, president in 1963, and chairman of the board in 1993. He was named chairman emeritus in 2003, a title he maintained after retiring from the board of directors in 2008. Kennedy also served as vice chairman of First American’s principal subsidiary, First American Title Insurance Company. He consistently went to his office at First American’s Santa Ana campus until he was 90 years old.

Kennedy has left an indelible mark not only on First American, but also on the title insurance industry, helping to usher in many of the advancements and practices that are commonplace today. Among his many professional affiliations, Kennedy served as

president of both the California Land Title Association and the American Land Title As-sociation, and chaired numerous committees in both organizations.

A lifelong philanthropist, Kennedy’s extensive involvement in community affairs included support of dozens of organizations focused on Orange County and Santa Ana. A past chairman of the Orange County Business Committee for the Arts, Kennedy also served on the boards of South Coast Repertory and the Bowers Museum of Cultural Art, among others. When serving on the board at Bow-ers, he was instrumental in negotiating the museum’s partnerships with the Smithsonian Institution and the British Museum. His sup-port for the museum’s north wing, which was named the Dorothy and Donald Kennedy Wing in 2007, tripled the size of its exhibit space. He served on the board of trustees for Chapman University and was a member of Stanford University’s Athletic Board, as well.

Kennedy also provided key support for the creation of the Chapman University School of Law and was recognized in 1999 with the dedication of the Donald P. Kennedy Hall, a state-of-the-art teaching facility and home of the university’s school of law. That same year he was named “Man of the Century” by Orange Coast Magazine.

An avid life-long golfer, Kennedy scored his first hole-in-one in 1930 at the age of 12, and went on to score eight more over the next seven decades. Kennedy was a member of Stanford University’s 1939 NCAA championship golf team and also was an active member of the Santa Ana Country Club for most of his life. When elected as the club’s president in 1952, he was the young-est person to have served in that capacity.Kennedy is survived by his wife of 65 years, Dorothy; his son, Parker S. Kennedy; two daughters, Elizabeth Myers and Amy Healey; six grandchildren; and two great-grandchil-dren.
