The city has been called many things, but on Tuesday the City Council will consider approving an official motto for 2012 in honor of Irvine's 40th anniversary.

Staff received about 200 entries and recommends that the council approve the "City of Innovation" as the motto for 2012, said city spokesman Craig Reem.
