The Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park is required by the United States

agreed to a new term at no increase in cost. Dr. Boldrick will provide a
comprehensive program of preventative and curative medical care for the
domestic animal collection located in the Crean Family Farm. In addition,
Dr. Boldrick will consult with appropriate zoological and/or human experts
and Zoo staff to make recommendations regarding the nutritional and
medical needs of the animals.
Dr. Boldrick will visit the Zoo facilities and examine the animals' health
and sanitation on average 8 hours per week and assist with establishing
and maintaining complete medical history records for each animal in the
domestic animal collection. The Parks, Recreation and Community Services
