At that time, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services <br />Agency informally authorized Santa Ana Girls Fast Pitch Softball League <br />the use of the concession building during its regularly scheduled <br />practices and games. Santa Ana Xtreme Softball League was later granted <br />permission to use the concession building as well when conducting its <br />tournaments at Thornton Park on intermittent Sundays that did not <br />conflict with Santa Ana Girls Fast Pitch League's reservation schedule. <br /> <br />At this time, the City proposes to formalize agreements with both leagues <br />for the shared use of the concession building. Both leagues will use <br />concessions proceeds as a means to generate revenue to reduce <br />registration fees for low-income participants and increase Santa Ana <br />youths' participation in athletic programs. The leagues will be required <br />to sell packaged snacks and drinks of which at least 50% must be of a <br />healthy variety. All revenue derived from the sale of food products will <br />be used to support the leagues' respective youth recreational programs. <br /> <br />251-1 <br />
