Resolution Approving the Acceptance of Grant Funds from the State of California May 3, 2022 Page 2 2 6 2 8 outdoor amphitheater. Different sides of the building will open out to the general zoo area, the amphitheater, or staff and service areas. Universally Accessible Playground at Thornton Park The City of Santa Ana’s first Universally Accessible Playground installation at the George Upton All Access Park (one acre-site) located within Thornton Park will include equipment specially designed to enable children of all abilities to play alongside each other. All children, regardless of physical limitation, should be able to enjoy the fun that comes along with playing on a playground. Kids love to play, and no child should be prevented from having fun at the playground by a physical handicap. This playground will replace the current 30-year-old playground with failing equipment and deteriorating parts. The City must enter into an agreement with the State of California to access the funds for both projects. Part of the process for creating the agreement is the completion of a Project Information Packet, of which includes the resolution under consideration. City staff will bring to the City Council, at a future meeting, an appropriation adjustment for funding, once the agreement is created and executed, as well as amendments to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the two City projects. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Although at a future meeting, once an agreement is executed between the City of Santa Ana and the State of California, an appropriation adjustment will be brought before City Council for approval.
