UPDATE ON PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS WITH THE SANTA ANA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT o Gerardo Mouet indicated at the January 29th Joint Policy meeting the SAUSD asked for a report outlining all the Joint Use agreements.

The 3 sites are on district property and construction was managed by the district. With the addition of these 3 sites the City has a total of 8 Joint Use agreements with SAUSD. o Jeannie Jurado explained that certain parks are not part of the Joint Use agreement that are used by the SAUSD, such as Centennial Park field #5 & #6, Dan Young Soccer Complex, SA Stadium, Lillie King Park and EI Salvador Park. The City provides the district first priority use of their facilities in the Joint Use agreement and does not charge the district. o Director Mouet explained that the district is charged for use of other park sites that are not part of the joint use agreement, but in most cases the district use is co-sponsored with no charge.
