In addition, the group requested the need for additional park <br />security lighting, park walkway improvements, and other deferred maintenance repairs at Jerome <br />Park. Many of the deferred maintenance items have been completed and CDBG funding was <br />approved in FY 2011/12 for the construction of a City/School fence to accommodate the joint use <br />of district's basketball courts and sports field, park security lighting, walkway and parking lot <br />reconstruction and landscaping. Tonight, the City Council will be considering the bid award of the <br />City/School fencing, security lighting, walkway and parking lot reconstruction and landscaping. <br />The Joint Use Agreement with Santa Ana Unified School District for Monte Vista/Jerome Park is <br />for 30 years with an option for (two) 10 year extensions. The City will have rights to use and <br />schedule activities on school fields and courts after school hours and on weekends. The City will <br />be responsible for supervision during City use of the joint use area. The District will be <br />responsible for normal maintenance and utilities of the joint use area on District property. The <br />City and District agrees to corporate in good faith to seek further additional funding for any other <br />improvements on the joint use areas. Each party shall defend and hold harmless each other <br />against any and all liability in connection with this agreement. <br />25L-1
