DISCUSSION
The State of California issued a Notice of Funding Availability for the Housing Related Parks
Program to provide funds for parks and recreation projects that benefit the community and add to
the quality of life. The program awards funds on a per -bedroom basis for residential units,
affordable to very low- and low-income households, created or converted during the designated
program year.
The proposed project site is slightly less than half an acre of vacant land across the street from the
Garfield Community Center and Elementary School. The project will include, but not limited to,
playground equipment, shade structure, tables, community garden, walkways, signage, drought
tolerant landscaping, fencing and other site amenities.

Seven community outreach meetings were held to obtain input on the park design. Based on
community input, the conceptual plan will be revised to include skating elements in the park. Public
Works Agency is in the process of hiring the consultant to prepare the construction documents that
will be used to issue the Invitation for Bids. The construction plans are expected to be completed in
Fall 2018 and construction will begin in winter 2018. The Project is scheduled to be completed by
early Summer 2019.
On March 7, 2017 the City of Santa Ana City Council approved the submittal of an application for
the proposed project. The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency was notified that
the grant application was awarded $518,109. The City appropriated $130,645 in park Acquisition

to complete the project. Staff is requesting approval an appropriation adjustment to recognize the
grant funds and the additional A&D funds.
