Mater Dei High School has NEVER requested that the City of Santa Ana divert ANY federal, state or city funds that <br />were supposed to go to the funding of the public schools in the SAUSD, to be used to fund ANY redevelopment projects <br />at Mater Dei High School. <br />2. Any funds used to pay for the Bristol Street Widening Project over the past 2 decades have been directed specifically <br />to the purposes of the Bristol Street Project and cannot be used for any other purpose. By the way, there are 5 SAUSD <br />schools which are located adjacent to Bristol Street and thus have directly benefitted from the Bristol Street Widening <br />Project ( as have Mater Dei High School, Santa Ana College and the entire Santa Ana community ). <br />3. Mater Dei High School IS NOT requesting that ANY City of Santa Ana Budget Funds be used to pay for any portion of <br />the Mater Dei High School Redevelopment Project. <br />4. Mater Dei High School is requesting that the Santa Ana City Council direct City Staff to work with the OCTA to use <br />surplus funds from the Bristol Street Widening Project ( which has been identified by OCTA to be at least $2 million and <br />could be as high as $9 million ) to fund the Signalization & Intersection remodel at the corner of Bristol & St. Andrew <br />Place, as well as the Paving Upgrade to St. Andrew Place between Bristol and Baker. This signalization and intersection <br />upgrade would be a positive benefit to the local community both in terms of traffic flow as well as pedestrian safety. The <br />paving upgrade would also be a positive improvement for the neighborhood. <br />Originally, the City Staff had identified the scope of the budget for both the signalization as well as the paving upgrade to <br />total approx. $1.18 million. However, City Staff has subsequently revised the budget of these 2 projects down to approx. <br />$800,000. <br />5. Mater Dei High School is withdrawing our request for the City to use SBI Funds to fund the public alley way on the <br />back side of the proposed MD Parking Structure. <br />d <br />
