          SUBJECT:  Little Saigon


          SUMMARY:  Recognizes California's Vietnamese Americans and  
          "Little Saigon" communities and recognizes the positive  
          contributions of Vietnamese Americans and "Little Saigon"  
          communities to California's diverse population and economy.  
          Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings: 


          1)There are at least four areas in California that have been  
            officially designated as "Little Saigon." 



          2)The oldest, largest, and most prominent "Little Saigon" is  
            located in Orange County with over 189,000 Vietnamese American  
            residents.



          3)In February 2010, Sacramento officially named a stretch of  
            Stockton Boulevard, from Florin Road to Fruitridge Road,  
            "Little Saigon" due to the growing and thriving Vietnamese  
            American population.

          4)San Francisco designated Larkin Street, between Eddy and  
            O'Farrell Streets, "Little Saigon," where more than  
            three-quarters of the businesses on the two-block stretch are  
            owned by Vietnamense Americans.



          5)Oakland, San Diego, and communities in the San Gabriel Valley  
            are seeing a large increase in their Vietnamese American  
            residents.
