RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution of support for the 2006 Preserve America Historic
Preservation Fund Grant Application.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Ana was designated a Preserve America Community in
2005. The "Preserve America" program is a federal government initiative
developed in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation and the u.S. Departments of the Interior, Commerce,
Agricul ture, and Housing and Urban Development. This designation is
given to cities that have demonstrated a commitment to recognize,
designate, and protect local cultural resources.
The Preserve America designation affords the City of Santa Ana the
opportunity to apply for Preserve America Federal Grants. The 2006
Preserve America Grant provides the City of Santa Ana with an opportunity
to fund activities to promote the City's historic resources through
educational programs and marketing to enhance and encourage tourism in
our historic downtown. The Preserve America grant is a competitive grant
process and must be submitted for consideration by May 19, 2006.
