Resume: Lloyd Ikerd
Dear Mrs. Wood:
Referencing our conversation, the following is a brief resume of my business, political
and community service activities.
Personal:
I was born in Torrance California and except for 6 years during WW II where I lived in
Prescott Arizona, I lived in Modesto California where I graduated from Modesto High
School. Immediately after graduation, I returned to Southern California where I attended
Compton College and U.C.L.A.. I am divorced with three adult children. I lived in
Paramount and Long Beach until I moved to Newport Beach 6 years ago.
Business:
I have been a commercial and industrial real estate broker since 1963. In addition, I have
been a developer, publisher of a local newspaper, collector and sales of antique and
classic automobiles amongst many other business ventures. I have restored a 1903
Masonic Temple in Long Beach; coordinated the development of two hospitals and
various medical facilities; Developed over 500,000 sf of industrial buildings and
commercial buildings.
Political:
I was elected to the Paramount City Council in 1966 and Mayor of that community in
1968. During my term as Mayor, I was instrumental in drafting and modifying a new
zoning code for the entire city. The city was under contract with the county of Los
Angeles and had initially adopted the county code which did not meet the growth
requirements and needs of the new community. Paramount was primarily a dairy
community and I was instrumental in placing virtually the entire city into a
redevelopment agency, which I was chairman. Paramount was receiving 100% of the tax
increments and since that time the entire community has been redeveloped and is
financially stable.
I acquired the Paramount Journal and was the publisher of that newspaper supporting
members of the City Council and School Board who supported a continuing planned
growth for the community.
b
Community Activities:
I was President of the Paramount Kiwanis Club; I organized and was President of the
Paramount Jaycees. Member of the Elks Lodge, Long Beach Lions Club Various
Collector and antique automobile clubs.
In Long Beach I organized and was presiding chairman of the Friends of Port Disney
with over 4,000 members supporting a development of a theme park in Long Beach. I
was instrumental and coordinator of the largest event (2,200 guests) on the Queen Mary
supporting the Walt Disney Company. I was involved in many other community service
activities.
In Newport Beach I am involved in the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce;
Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber, 552 Club, Hoag Hospital.
Through the Commodores Club, I designed and coordinated the construction of the
portable BBQ Grille for the Newport Beach Fire Department: I volunteer for the Balboa
Island parade, various Corona Del Mar Chamber activities and other community events
that aid and promote the City of Newport Beach.
In conclusion, I feel, if I am appointed, that I bring a considerable amount of experience
to the Economic Development Committee. I have experience in planning, redevelopment,
zoning, and hands on development.
I appreciate your consideration. I feel that I have a lot to give to the planned growth of
the City of Newport Beach.
