Park Grant Reallocation
Summary
Santa Clara is moving over $256,000 in state park grant money from Maywood Park over to Henry Schmidt Park so the city doesn't lose the cash entirely due to slow progress. If they didn't make this switch, the state funds would vanish because Maywood's upgrades are running behind schedule.
