The bond act will provide $368 million in <br /> grant funding for new parks and recreational opportunities in critically <br /> underserved communities. The $368 million is divided into two rounds of <br /> grant opportunities. The first round of applications is due on March 1, <br /> 2010. <br /> In November 2009, the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Unified School <br /> District entered into an agreement for joint use of Willard Intermediate <br /> School. Per the joint use agreement, the City manages reservations of the <br /> site for youth programs, after school and on weekends. Since the area <br /> around Willard Intermediate School is void of park open space staff is <br /> recommending City Council approve the resolution to apply for Proposition <br /> 84 grant funding to install synthetic turf, running track, play equipment, <br /> and other amenities at Willard Intermediate School. <br /> 55C-1 <br /> <br />
