DISCUSSION The City of Santa Ana owns and operates four parking facilities within Downtown Santa Ana. All four facilities are multi-level parking structures and are vital in providing easily accessible parking for the surrounding retail businesses and numerous visitors to the area, as well as provide parking for the events held throughout the year. Often, the parking garages provide the first impression to those visiting Santa Ana; therefore, the appearance of the garage and customer service provided by the operators are of primary importance. On December 3, 2007, the City Council approved the award of a two-year contract for parking management services with the option to extend the term of the agreement for three additional one-year periods to Parking Concepts, Inc. Based on the overall quality and efficiency of their performance, an extension of the contract for a one-year term is recommended. The City is currently in the process of obtaining a new access and revenue control system for the parking structures. With this new equipment, Parking Concepts, Inc. is expected to be able to further improve its performance and management of the parking structures. 250-1
