EXHIBIT 1 The City values and supports the many community-based non-profit organizations, entities and neighborhood groups that work to make Santa Ana a better place. These groups represent potential City partners for community use, benefit, and beautification projects requiring real property. The purpose of the provisions described in this section is to identify those organizations, entities, and groups that may be interested in acquiring or otherwise obtaining use of City real property for community use, benefit, and beautification projects. The City will create and maintain a list of interested organizations through a Solicitation of Interest (SOI) process. The purpose of the SOI application process is to determine the organizational capacity of applying community-based non-profit organizations, entities, and groups to own, lease, maintain, manage and operate real property for the desired program, project, or use. The list will be used to notify organizations, entities, and neighborhood groups of the availability of City real property approved for disposition that has been designated as having significant community benefit/community use potential. The City recognizes that the number of community organizations changes over time so the SOI solicitation will be conducted as an 'open recruitment' so that the list of organizations and entities may be continuously refreshed over time. An application form will be developed. Information requested may include, but is not limited to the following: • Property sought, for what purpose • Name of organization • Type of organization • Age of organization • Organizational financial capacity • Experience with controlling and managing real property • Description of how the organization will handle property management • Description of how property will be operated and maintained (Operations and Maintenance Plan) 5.
