(Requires five affirmative <br />votes) <br />DISCUSSION <br />Santiago Park is a 35-acre linear park located in the northern edge of the City of Santa <br />Ana along the Santiago Creek. Due to the City’s urban environment and rapidly <br />increasing density, Santiago Park is an important site within our park system. <br />On July 30, 2022, the Public Works Agency’s Park Services Division submitted an <br />application to the State Coastal Conservancy for design funding for the Santiago Park <br />Trail and Native Habitat Restoration project. The project intends to increase public use <br />of the trail, provide more connectivity through the park, and further enhance this natural <br />park by restoring the native landscape. The scope of work involves providing a <br />delineated walking trail, restoration of the riparian habitat, security lighting, automated <br />irrigation system, and a pedestrian bridge to connect the north and south banks of the <br />park over Santiago Creek. <br />On April 4, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 2023-016, which authorized the <br />City Manager to execute agreements with the State Coastal Conservancy for the <br />Santiago Park Trail and Native Habitat Restoration project. In June 2023, the State <br />notified the City of the grant award of $400,000 for design for this project. <br />Approval of this appropriation adjustment will allow for $400,000 to be allocated to the <br />project and fund design efforts.
