3 | P a g e <br />I.RECRUITMENT & SELECTION <br />After City Council approval for the pilot Park Host <br />Program at Carl Thornton Park in July 2020, the <br />program was tentatively placed on pause while the <br />City reprioritized services due to the Covid-19 <br />pandemic. Once restrictions were lifted, PRCSA <br />began to advertise & recruit for the Park Host <br />Program on December 7, 2021. Applications were <br />received, reviewed and ultimately five candidates <br />were selected to participate in the interview process. <br />On January 26, PRCSA offered the opportunity to <br />Katie Rivero to become the first Park Host for the City <br />of Santa Ana. <br />II.LOCATION & INSTALLATION <br />The first selected park host site location was identified as Carl Thornton Park (1801 W. Segerstrom <br />Avenue) located in Ward 4. Efforts were made by the Parks Services Division to identify a space within <br />the park that would be suitable for the installation of a fifth-wheel recreation vehicle that would be <br />placed within a gated enclosure that provided access to water, sewage and electricity for the park host. <br />Ultimately a location was selected on the Northside of Carl Thornton Park off the South Linda Way <br />entrance to the park. Parks Services began the site preparation at the end of 2021 and the project in the <br />Spring of 2022. <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 16 – 15 11/19/2024
