The City Council authorized the City Manager to submit the application for the Mistletoe Park Restroom Facility Improvement Project on December 6, 2022. The application was approved for $480,000. The County has since agreed to authorize the use of an additional $222,500 in future CDBG allocations for the Project, as City of San Jacinto Page 4 Updated 9/26/2024 6:09 PM

This project is exempt from CEQA requirements under CCR 15301(c).
