Authorize the acceptance of the donation of a merry-go-round to the City of Santa Ana from the
Fiesta Marketplace Partners.
DISCUSSION
The Fiesta Marketplace Partners purchased a merry-go-round as part of the Fiesta Marketplace
grand opening in 1985. The mini merry-go-round, originally built in the 1930s-1940s, was
renovated to its full glory when it came to Santa Ana, and has provided years of entertainment for
the community.
In late 201 O, the owners of the Fiesta Marketplace initiated a revitalization of their properties within
the Downtown, which included the promenade renovation between Third and Fourth Streets. The
new promenade theme includes the addition of a water treatment, new landscaping, lighting and
pavers, but did not include the retention of the merry-go-round. In order to preserve this merry-go-
round, it has been placed in storage until a suitable location can be found in the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
