FRIENDS OF THE <br /> CYPRESS FIRE STATION <br /> Since 2016, residents of Pacific Park/Eastside have worked to make the historic Cypress Fire <br /> Station a Community Resource that serves the needs of its diverse population. <br /> Last year, our coalition was successful in saving the Cypress Fire Station and it is now being <br /> restored to community use. Without consulting with our residents, staff recommended turning <br /> over the firehouse to SAPD's PAAL's program which serves 75 students citywide, including 25 <br /> youth at Roosevelt/Walker Community Center, <br /> In August of 2022, City Council directed staff to research joint uses for the Cypress Fire Station, <br /> which could share the faculty with SAPD's PAAL program. Currently PAAL's operates 3 days a <br /> week only in the afternoons. An SAPD substation will also operate out of the SAPID PAAL's <br /> space. <br /> Please share your input on what additional needs and uses you envision for our beautiful <br /> firehouse. Some suggested uses include: <br /> (Please Check All Boxes That Apply) <br /> Digital Library &Technology Center- Would provide Free Community Access to Wifi, <br /> Computers, Printers, a 3D printer, Podcasting Studio, Study Rooms, & Meeting Rooms for all <br /> ages. <br /> C(Santa Ana Library History Room Archive-Would house our Library's historic archives, <br /> facilitate research, mount exhibits, host community history events for all ages. <br /> aSanta Ana/SAUSD Social Justice Center - Would work to establish a multicultural Santa Ana <br /> archive and learning space to support the school district's Ethnic Studies program in our <br /> diverse community. <br /> ❑ Santa Ana Art & Culture Commission Gallery- Originally proposed by Gerardo Mouet. <br /> ❑ Artist Residency Space -There are two resident spaces on-site, making Civic Art Residencies a <br /> viable reality, The Art Commission could select 2 Teaching Artists annually to work with <br /> Pacific Park's multigenerational (Children, Adults, Seniors) community. <br /> Write In Your Own Suggestion: <br /> Are you a Pacific Park Resident?09(ES O <br /> To find an electronic version of this survey, please visit: <br /> www.friendsofcypressfirestation.com <br />
