Burbank Mayor Gary Bric presents check to Houry Tavitian
BURBANK-The Burbank chapter of the Armenian National Committee of
America reported that then Burbank Mayor Gary Bric donated his excess
reelection campaign funds to the Armenian Relief Society Araz Chapter.
He presented Houry Tavitian a check for more than $500.
According to Burbank's election ordinance, no candidate for city
office may retain campaign funds after June 30th of the year of the
election. They may return excess funds to the original contributors
(pro-rata), transfer them to the city's treasury, or donate them
to charity. Gary Bric chose the ARS Araz Chapter of Burbank as the
recipient. This is only the second time that an Armenian organization
has received such funds. It had been ten years since the last time.
After winning his campaign for city council, Bric explained that he
decided on the ARS to show his appreciation because Burbank's Armenian
community generously supported him during his campaign through the
efforts of the ANCA-B.
On April 26, the ARS received more good news from Burbank. The City
Council voted to approve funding for the ARS's Burbank Social Service
office. The amount was reduced from last year since the Community
Development Block Grant funds that Burbank receives from the federal
government decreased.
The Armenian National Committee of Burbank advances the social,
economic, cultural, and political rights of the area's Armenian
American community and promotes increased Armenian American civic
participation at the grassroots and public policy levels.
