The LWCF Program was established through federal legislation in <br />1965 and has been instrumental in the development of parks throughout the <br />Uni ted States. The City of Santa Ana has been successful in obtaining <br />grant funding from this source for various park improvement projects, the <br />most recent being the Santiago Nature Viewing Facility and Centennial <br />Playground Equipment <br /> <br />Staff is requesting authorization to submit a LWCF grant application to <br />replace and construct new picnic shelters at Centennial Regional Park. <br />The picnic shelters were installed in 1978 and are showing signs wood rot <br />and termite deterioration. The new shelters will be made with concrete <br />columns, metal supports and blue metal roofing to reflect a park like <br />theme. The grant funding guidelines identify picnic area improvements as <br />one of the top three highest priorities for this grant. The total grant <br />request will be $150,000. The LWCF Grant Fund requires a 50% match of <br />non-federal money. The matching funds will be available in future Park <br />Acquisition and Development Funds.
