Curt Pringle

Mayor, City of Anaheim

E-mail Director Pringle

Director Curt Pringle joined the Orange County Board of Directors in January 2005. Director Pringle was elected to serve as Anaheim’s Mayor in November 2002. In addition to his local seats, he was recently appointed to serve on Governor Schwarzenegger’s Commission on the 21^st Century Economy and serves on the California High Speed Rail Authority board.

As a member of the OCTA Board of Directors, Director Pringle serves as Chair of the Transportation 2020 Committee, and as a member of the Executive Committee, the State Route 91 Advisory Committee and the Highways Committee.

From the first day of his term as Mayor, he has been focused on accomplishment on behalf of the residents of the 10th largest city in the State of California.

In what the Orange County Register hailed as a "freedom-friendly" approach to city government, Mayor Pringle has led the city council in bringing about symbolic and practical changes to city governing that encourages and fosters more individual and entrepreneurial initiative.

In March of 2004, Mayor Pringle and his council colleagues instituted a 100-day Home Improvement Holiday, waiving city permit fees for any resident wishing to make improvements to their home. This unprecedented program successfully convinced Anaheim homeowners to reinvest over $28 million dollars back into the local economy, improving neighborhood and community pride while simultaneously increasing property values.

In May 2004, Mayor Pringle led the council in approving an update to the City of Anaheim's General Plan that included sweeping changes to the zoning code that will allow for the dramatic revitalization of the Stadium Area, now called the Platinum Triangle, the historic downtown area, and portions of West Anaheim.

One of Mayor Pringle's first actions as Mayor was to engage more of Anaheim's diverse population in the business of the city. He formed the Mayor's Task Force for Youth Sports Facilities, to identify and develop opportunities for expanded practice and sports fields in the Anaheim Hills area. That Task Force made recommendations for Parks projects that are now in the design phase of construction. These projects, combined with the new Tiger Woods Learning Center currently under construction at Dad Miller Golf Course, will further Mayor Pringle's goals for more after-school opportunities for youth throughout the City of Anaheim.

In July 2004, Mayor Pringle asked the council to support a resolution declaring the first 2 weeks of July each year as "Freedom Days" in Anaheim, to "preserve, protect, and further the individual freedoms and personal liberties guaranteed to the people under the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of the California". The Mayor also successfully charged the council to immediately support the repeal or amendment of 35 outdated city laws and to take steps to reduce the penalties in many from criminal misdemeanors to infractions, with the intent to bring about a more freedom-friendly character to the city code structure.

As a key voice for local government finance reform at the state and local level, Mayor Pringle played a pivotal role in state budget negotiations with Governor Schwarzenegger and his Budget Team. Mayor Pringle has also been sought out at the national, regional and local level to speak on policy issues such as affordable housing, transportation, planning and development, and local government finance. Mayor Pringle currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).

Mayor Pringle brings an immense amount of civic knowledge to Anaheim city government, having served in the California State Assembly from 1988-1990 and again from 1992-98. The independent California Journal rated Director Pringle as the "Best Problem Solver" and as the "Most Influential Leader" of the California State Assembly. In January 1996, in what was hailed by the Associated Press as "a victory for stability over chaos," Director Pringle was elected Speaker of the California State Assembly where he presided until November 1996.

During his tenure in the State Assembly, Pringle served as the Republican Leader, Republican Caucus Chair, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Chairman of the Rules Committee and Vice Chairman of the Budget Committee. He also served on the Insurance, Governmental Organization, Banking, Local Government and Joint Legislative Budget Review Committees. Additionally, he served as a budget conferee in 1995, where he authored the 1995-1996 California State Budget.

Director Pringle was a key architect of California's historic, bipartisan welfare reform plan in 1997, and in 1996 he authored successful legislation to provide California businesses with a five-percent tax cut. Director Curt Pringle has served on the Orange County Republican Central Committee and the California Republican Central Committee. In 1996 and 2004, he was a California Delegate to the Republican National Convention.

In 1998, Pringle was the Republican nominee for the office of California State Treasurer in the General Election. He also served as an appointee of the Senate Majority Leader to the National Conference on Retirement Savings and served a four-year term as a member of the Orange County Fair Board. Additionally, Curt Pringle serves on the Board of Directors of Leadership TraQ, a leadership development program headquartered at California State University, Long Beach. In addition to his civic duties, Director Pringle runs Curt Pringle & Associates, LLC, a public relations, governmental affairs and consulting firm headquartered in Anaheim, California. Director Pringle also serves as an adjunct faculty member at the University of California, Irvine, in the Political Science Department, where he teaches California Government. He is a graduate of California State University, Long Beach with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a Master's in Public Administration. A 36-year resident of the Anaheim/Garden Grove area, Pringle and his wife, Alexis, have two children, a son, Kyle and daughter, Katie.

Cindy Quon

Caltrans Director District 12

E-mail Director Quon

Cindy Quon was appointed to the position of District Director of the California Department of Transportation in District 12 in August 2001. District 12 encompasses the County of Orange.

Quon comes from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) where she was the Department Manager of Project Development. In this capacity she planned, managed and directed a full range of transit and transportation capital improvement programs.

Prior to OCTA, Quon was the Division Chief for Program and Project Management for Caltrans in District 7, where she supervised a staff of 110 employees responsible for the timely delivery of capital transportation improvements in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Prior to her position as Division Chief in District 7, Quon was in charge of the newly created Project Development: Contracts and Oversight Branch, which is responsible for all aspects of District 7's partnership role in specially funded state highway projects, including all projects that are not in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), the seven-year master plan of projects. The goal of the branch was to make sure all special-funded projects conform to Caltrans' standards and practices for planning, design, right-of-way acquisition and construction. The branch also helps local agencies and developers navigate Caltrans and keep their projects on track. The branch is also responsible for all Architectural and Engineering contracts in the District.

Quon was born in Hong Kong and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1978 and a Master's of Science degree in Civil Engineering in 1982, specializing in structure, from California State University, Los Angeles.

She was hired by Caltrans in August 1979, and worked two years in the Junior Civil Engineer rotation program. She later worked with Headquarters Division of Structures, was promoted to Assistant Civil Engineer with the Hydraulics Department, and then Associate Civil Engineer with Project Development Branch B, which was responsible for designing transportation improvements in Orange County.

Quon was promoted to Senior Civil Engineer in Project Development Branch C, and then to Branch Chief for Project Development: Contracts and Oversight.

In December 1992, her branch employed a streamlined contracting out process to deliver 10 High Occupancy Vehicle Lane Design contracts in just 10 weeks, when the process would normally take 6 to 10 months.

Quon lives in Arcadia with her husband, Frank Quon, Division Chief of Operations, and their son and daughter.
