IRVINE, Calif.—The Irvine City Council April 12 passed the first reading of an ordinance that will ban nepotism to council-appointed committees, with one councilman claiming the dais is targeting his wife.
Councilman Larry Agran’s wife, Dr. Phyllis Agran, currently sits on the Irvine Children, Youth and Families Advisory Committee, of which she was appointed by previous Mayor Sukhee Kang. She was reappointed to the seat in March 2021 by her husband.
