2. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS (Unfunded)
Staff provided a list of unfunded capital improvement projects totaling $77 million. Some of
the major capital projects implemented in the past were the Santa Ana Children Zoo,
Centennial Skate Park, Dan Young Youth Synthetic Turf Soccer field, and Santiago Nature
Viewing Facility. Others that will be implemented soon are the Santiago Interpretative
Center, Centennial Synthetic Turf Soccer Field #2, JeromelEl Salvador Center
Improvements, Centennial Picnic Shelters, Patricia Lane Park, and the McFadden Triangle

Staff indicated the city has been very successful in obtaining grants to construct the agency's
capital and deferred maintenance projects and has used volunteers to supplement this effort.
Although most of the city's Park Bond funding (proposition 12 & 40) was used to address
the city's major deferred maintenance work in our park system, staff will continue seeking
grant funding for capital projects.
