Consulting <br />Lani Lott, President <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Proposal to Conduct a Presentation for Downtown Incorporated and the <br />Downtown Santa Ana Community Management District <br /> <br />Understanding of the Project: <br /> <br />In 2008, Downtown Santa Ana successfully formed a Community Management District, <br />which encompasses over 50 blocks in the Historic Downtown. As part of the process, a <br />new nonprofit corporation, Downtown Incorporated, has been formed to oversee and <br />manage the District, and is currently the process of making the transition from a <br />formation committee to selecting and seating the founding Board of Directors, <br />establishing the organizational infrastructure, policies and procedures necessary to <br />deliver the programs, and molding the services outlined in the Management Plan. To <br />help ensure that the Board of Directors along with key stakeholders have a solid <br />understanding of the importance of their role to the success of the organization as well <br />as the importance of the organization as viable entity to spurring long term economic <br />revitalization, the City of Santa Ana is considering hosting a series of presentations. L. <br />L. Consulting has been asked to present a proposal for conducting a presentation on the <br />"Fundamentals of Economic Revitalization." Ms. Lani Lott, President of L.L.
