City of Santa Ana agrees to clean up graffiti at Santiago Park

I recieved an email response today from Gerardo Mouet, the Director of Parks and Recreation in Santa Ana, regarding my complaint about the explosion of graffiti at Santiago Park.

Here is an excerpt from Mouet’s email:

Thank you for your email. I am glad the Parks and Recreation staff were able to clear the brush to help deter the lewd conduct. I will direct staff to coordinate with the Public Works Agency, who is responsible for graffiti removal, and remove the graffiti at Santiago Park as soon as possible. Also, staff will work on solving the issue of the pools of water you point out.

Thank you Mr. Mouet! 

Now let’s hope that he and our City administrators and City Council agree to my proposal to put in a dog park over at the ill-used Lawn Bowling center!
