Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Work Study Session <br />May 15, 2025 <br />Page 5 <br />5 <br />0 <br />4 <br />9 <br />Modern Conference Space at the Senior Center on Third & Ross <br />As requested, the following provides details on proposed usage hours and potential <br />improvements: <br />•Proposed Event Hours of Availability <br />o Monday-Friday: 6PM – 11PM <br />o Saturday-Sunday: 8AM– 11PM <br />These proposed hours would not interfere with existing senior center programming, which <br />operates: <br />•Monday–Friday: 8AM – 5PM <br />To enhance the space’s functionality and make it more appealing for broader community <br />use, staff identified a list of small investments that can be made in the near term. A <br />breakdown of these recommended items is shown below. <br />If the Santa Ana Senior Center were to host 25 five-hour events annually, the projected <br />revenue would be based on the renter type, as shown in the table below. <br />Additionally, if the City were to pursue a full expansion of the space to double its capacity <br />from 125 to 250 occupants, the estimated construction cost would be approximately $3.5 <br />to $4 million (subject to further design and cost analysis). Staff is not presently <br />recommending this option because the return on investment is not sufficient to warrant <br />the time and resources required.
