RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and

Orange County Conservation Corps for assistance with park-related projects,
increasing the agreement amount by $18,600 and extending the term six

DISCUSSION
The Orange County Conservation Corps (OCCC) is a work and education program
that provides young at-risk adults between the ages of l7 and 25 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
proj ects for the past several years. Staff recommends continuing the
City's relationship with the OCCC by extending the term of the agreement to
allow them to provide continued 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. 17l-l08-629l) in the amount of $12,000, and in
the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project account (account no. 169-
