The allocation of funds to additional youth services will <br />provide necessary resources to engage and benefit the youth of Santa Ana. <br />If this amendment is approved, we would encourage the City to allocate a portion of the funds towards a second Police <br />Athletic & Activity Location (PAAL) in the City. We have been working closely with the Santa Ana Police Department on <br />a site in close proximity to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. With approximately 8,000 sf of indoor space <br />and an adjacent outdoor area, we believe this location would be excellent for youth programming. It is situated within <br />an existing affordable housing community, along the OC Streetcar, and within immediate walking distance to the <br />neighborhoods of Garfield, Lacy, Logan and French Park. <br />Thank you. <br />Barry Cottle and Todd Cottle <br />C & C Development <br />714-288-7600 <br />
