INTRODUCTION The basic needs of Santa Ana residents for health, education, welfare, safety, and recreation are met by a city's public facilities and services. The City's business and institutional communities also rely on resilient and cost-effective utility, safety, and education systems to operate and to attract and retain their workforce. The quality and types of facilities and services are influenced by the community's needs and desires, the short- and long-term costs of providing public services, and the availability of public and private resources. A wide range of City entities and external agencies work together closely to provide the full spectrum of services and facilities. The City maintains its own police department and contracts with the Orange County Fire Authority to provide public safety services. The City's Parks and Library agencies manage and deliver recreational and educational resources and programming. The Public Works Agency is responsible for building and maintaining all public streets, local storm drainage, sewers, and water facilities. The City maintains an overall Capital Improvements Program (CIP) to identify, plan for, and fund public service and facility improvement projects for each fiscal year. The CIP is informed by the General Plan policies and implementation plan as well as master plans and strategic plans associated with each area of public service and responsible agency. .
