U1 I 1 011 SAN 1A ANA <br />September 23, 2015 <br />Mayor and Council <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />SUBJECT: Letter of Support for Park Improvement Funds for the Parks, <br />Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) <br />Dear Mayor and Council: <br />Thank you for your leadership. The Board of Recreation and Parks met on <br />September 23 and received an update from staff on the amazing opportunity to <br />invest one time surplus monies into the City's Infrastructure. The parks and <br />recreational facilities in Santa Ana have high usage and limited funding for deferred <br />maintenance repairs. Our park facilities are in high demand. Being one of the <br />largest cities in the country with a high concentration of young people deserve the <br />best park facilities. The Board unanimously agrees that any surplus funding <br />available should be focused on repairing and upgrading our facilities so it can be <br />enjoyed by the families and children of Santa Ana. <br />We reviewed the Park Improvement Plan that was presented at your August 18 <br />Council retreat and we are in full support with its recommendation. In addition, we <br />encouraged staff to reach out and share this wonderful "wish list" to the community. <br />So far we have received 131 Park Improvement Feedback forms from Santa Ana <br />residents encouraging the City to reinvest in our park system and prioritize the <br />surplus funding to renovate our park facilities, <br />We are proud of your leadership and feel honored to represent the community on the <br />City's recreation and park needs, programs, services, and events. Please continue <br />your support for parks and recreation facility and program improvements. <br />Sincerely, <br />�M <br />Mathew Cruz, Chairpers <br />Board of Recreation and Parks <br />Cc: Mayor <br />City Council <br />Executive Director, PRCSA <br />CCM 10/20/2015 <br />65A <br />
