Staff Present:
1. LATINO HEALTH ACCESS TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND SURVEY
The Assistant City Manager provided background information concerning the request for the
City of Santa Ana, the Santa Ana Unified School District and Latino Health Access to
financially participate in an Open Space Survey preformed by the Trust for Public Land. The
Survey is to obtain public comments related to open space issues in the City. The City's cost
to participate in the Survey is approximately $5,000.
Staff indicated a Public Safety poll was recently done by the Police Officers Association and
the concern would be conflicting survey information, along with the current economic climate
uncertainty. Latino Health Access staff indicated they need to move forward with the
preliminary survey, even if the Santa Ana Unified School District and the City did not
participate. The Santa Ana Unified School District has not formally indicated if they would
financially participate in the survey.
The PREY Committee will support the Survey under the condition Latino Health Access and
the Trust for Public Land obtains the support from the Santa Ana Unified School District and
Police Officers Association.
ADJOURNED: 4:37 p.m.
