DISCUSSION
The Orange County Conservation Corps (OCCC) is a work and education
program that provides young at-risk adults between the ages of 17 and 25
years with an opportunity to gain work experience and job skills while
completing their high school education. The OCCC has been heavily
involved with the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency in
various Santa Ana restoration projects for the past several years. The
City would like to continue its relationship with the OCCC by utilizing
them to provide labor, supervision, equipment, and tools for the removal
and re-landscaping of Santiago Creek, and to prepare the Thornton Park
site for a wetland and riparian habitat restoration project.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the State of California Urban Creek Restoration
Program account (account no. 171-108-6291) in the amount of $80,000, and
in the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project account (account no.
169-269-6291) in the amount of $10,000.
