• • <br />Resolution - Centennial Regional Park Agreements with Santa Ana Unified <br />School District <br />June 3, 2002 <br />Page 2 <br />• Development Agreement with the County of Orange: <br />An agreement was approved in 1976 between the City of Santa Ana and <br />the County of Orange for the development and maintenance of <br />Centennial Regional Park. The agreement requires the City and County <br />to share 50 percent in the revenue and maintenance costs of park <br />operations. Certain areas in the park were left undeveloped for <br />revenue producing concession opportunities. Currently the County <br />reimburses the City approximately $125,000 per year to off set <br />operational costs. <br />HECTOR GODINEZ FUNDAMENTAL HIGH SCHOOL IN CENTENNIAL REGIONAL PARK <br />All the recreational and sports activities for the school are planned on <br />park property and all the educational elements are planned on district <br />property. These arrangements are designed to fulfill the conditions of the <br />deed restrictions in order to obtain National Park Service approval of the <br />proposed high school concept. Facilities include an Administration <br />Building, School Library, Student Center, Visual Arts, Food facility, Music <br />Building, Performing Arts Facility, Gymnasium, Parking Structure, Baseball <br />and Soccer fields, Football field, and Track and Basketball courts. <br />Approximately 18.84 acres of park property will be leased to the district <br />for the sports, arts and support facility development and 5.89 acres of <br />district property will be used for the classrooms and educational <br />facilities. The plans to accommodate these improvements will require the <br />relocation or reconstruction of two existing ball fields, relocation of the <br />existing park maintenance facility, reconstruction of the existing park <br />restrooms and reorientation of the existing soccer field and cricket field <br />on City property. The architectural firm Villanueva/Arnoni and LPA Inc., <br />under joint venture, was retained to design the high school to meet the <br />needs of the District, the conditions of the City Council and the <br />requirements of the Centennial Park deed restrictions. <br />CITY COUNCIL CONDITIONS <br />On August 7, 2000, the City Council approved the concept for the <br />development of a high school on portions of Centennial Regional Park in <br />partnership with the Santa Ana Unified School District subject to eight <br />conditions: <br />1. Satisfactory resolution of the School District's issues with the <br />Discovery Museum of Orange County. <br />2. Development of a mutually agreed to exemplary joint use agreement <br />between the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Unified School <br />District for the use of facilities developed on the City's <br />Centennial Park property. <br />55A
