Exhibit 1 <br />GENERAL FUNDING STRATEGIES <br />The City of Santa Ana does not have the <br />capital or operations funding needed to <br />provide the parkland level of service desired <br />by the community. To build recommended <br />features, sustain the community's investment in <br />existing resources, and keep Santa Ana's parks <br />safe, clean, and green, the City must identify <br />additional sources of funding. Eight funding <br />strategies are noted below. <br />DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS <br />The City has active and ongoing partnerships <br />and long-term lease agreements that support <br />existing parks and joint -use school sites. As <br />noted in Chapters 4 and 5, the City should <br />consider additional joint -use agreements to <br />support access to greenspace and recreation <br />facilities in many gap areas, since it is not <br />financially feasible to the City to acquire <br />parkland in all unserved areas. <br />SEEK SPONSORSHIPS AND <br />DONATIONS <br />In addition to traditional partnerships <br />for facility development, the City should <br />explore all options to increase philanthropic <br />contributions to Santa Ana's park system. <br />The establishment of a 501(c)(3) Parks and <br />Recreation Foundation would introduce new <br />fundraising support for City parks, facilities, <br />and programs. In addition, the City of Santa <br />Ana could offer to sell naming rights to large <br />new parks and/or major facilities. Business <br />sponsorships —in exchange for marketing <br />promotion through signage, the agency's <br />website, or other agency materials such as the <br />recreation guide —present another opportunity <br />to increase revenues. <br />INCREASE RESOURCES FOR NEW <br />DEVELOPMENT <br />The City should update its Residential <br />Development Fee Ordinance to increase <br />funds available for park acquisition and <br />development. Since this is a critically important <br />source of funding for implementing the PIMP, <br />the next section of this chapter provides <br />guidance on fee changes. <br />CONSIDER BONDS AND DEBT FOR <br />CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS <br />For the portion of park projects left unfunded by <br />fees and charges, the primary alternative to consider <br />is bonded debt. The City has two options for <br />funding bonds to provide the capital resources <br />needed for projects. The first and most common is <br />the General Obligation (GO) bond which requires <br />voter approval for property taxes to cover the <br />repayment. The second, called full faith and credit, <br />or bonds approved by the City Council only, require <br />repayment from the general operating funds of the <br />City (with income from existing taxes and fees). <br />INCREASE FEES AND CHARGES <br />As noted in Chapter 5, RCSA recently completed <br />a Service and Financial Sustainability Study <br />to evaluate cost recovery targets for facility <br />operations, programs, and services. That <br />Several recommended projects may be eligible document provides guidance for increasing <br />PURSUE GRANTS STRATEGICALLY <br />In conjunction with the park impact fee <br />study, Santa Ana's Municipal Code should be <br />revisited to determine whether Santa Ana's <br />parkland dedication requirements should be <br />amended under the Quimby Act, Government <br />Code Section 66477, which allows cities <br />to require subdivisions dedicate parkland <br />sufficient to provide up to three (3) acres of <br />park area per 1,000 subdivision residents. <br />DIVERSIFY FUNDING <br />for grants tied to Land & Water Conservation <br />revenues through fees and charges. <br />In addition, recommendations in Appendix E <br />Fund (LWCF) or transportation grants.
