Have they tried to ask the California Endowment to fund the <br />program until the community center and park is completed? <br />o Latino Health Access indicated the California Endowment only provided <br />funding for 1 year to cover custodial and security costs. They are asking if the <br />city can help the continuation of the program and cover the cost of <br />maintenance and security. <br />o Councilmember Sarmiento excused himself and left at 4:45pm for another <br />meeting. <br />o Gerardo Mouet explained the city was successful in receiving a $5 million <br />grant to construct a 10,000 square foot community center, playground, <br />restrooms, benches, landscaping, basketball court, running track, parking lot <br />and fencing. 400 applications were submitted and the City of Santa Ana was <br />one of 64 applicants that were awarded the Prop 84 grant.
