The mini merry-go-round, originally built in the 1930s-1940s, was <br />renovated to its full glory when it came to Santa Ana, and has provided years of entertainment for <br />the community. <br />In late 201 O, the owners of the Fiesta Marketplace initiated a revitalization of their properties within <br />the Downtown, which included the promenade renovation between Third and Fourth Streets. The <br />new promenade theme includes the addition of a water treatment, new landscaping, lighting and <br />pavers, but did not include the retention of the merry-go-round. In order to preserve this merry-go- <br />round, it has been placed in storage until a suitable location can be found in the City. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />Cynthia J.
