For over 12 years, the City has <br />applied for such grants to initiate the Used Oil Recycling Program, <br />household hazardous waste collection, bottle and can recycling, as well as <br />other recycling programs. In addition, the Parks, Recreation and <br />Community Services Agency has received several grants to fund various <br />capital projects including a Park Playground Accessibility and Recycling <br />Grant for rubber surfacing of the playground area at Heritage Park and <br />construction of the new playground at the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park. <br />Proposition 40, the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood <br />Parks and Coastal Protection Act of 2002 grant funds, were obtained for the <br />installation of the new synthetic turf soccer field at the Dan Young Soccer <br />Complex at Centennial Park. <br />Currently, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency is applying <br />for the California Integrated Waste Management Tire Derived Product Grant <br />Program (TDP) for playground renovations at Sandpointe and Santa Anita <br />parks. The resolution will not only meet the requirement for grant <br />applications, but will formalize the practice of purchasing recycled <br />content products and will promote a sustainable business practice citywide. <br />55B-1 <br />
