SECTION 1, COMPANY QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE Page3 LOCAL SUCCESS STORIES Past success in municipal projects is a key indicator of what City of Santa Ana can expect from Central Parking with its management of the Parking Enforcement program for the City. Here are profiles of some of our most recent success stories: CITY OF SANTA MONICA Serving since June, 2009 With 25 garages and surface lots and 12,000 spaces, Central Parking System's contract with the City of Santa Monica is the city's largest. Parking facilities serve the recently renovated Santa Monica Mall, the pedestrian 3rd Street Promenade and the Santa Monica Library. In addition, the contract covers all beach parking for this busy area which attracts locals and tourists alike. Central is currently working with the City to upgrade several of the city's metered lot and we also manage a popular bike-valet program. Annual gross revenues are close to $25 million with an operating budget of close to $5 million and the implementation of tighter cash controls has resulted in increased revenues for the City. As a testament to Central Parking's success, the City has just awarded us the management of 3 additional parking facilities. CITY OF LONG BEACH Serving since April, 2007 The City of Long Beach was looking for a highly qualified and experienced operator to manage their entire parking portfolio and Central Parking was able to meet and ex- ceed their needs. This portfolio consists of 7,780 parking spaces at 18 different locations. City Place, a 350,000 square foot retail development in the heart of down- town Long Beach, offers a unique environment with all mixed-use facilities. Central has been very successful in providing a smooth traffic operation while maintaining the highest level of customer service. Close supervision and strict operational con- trols at the Aquarium of the Pacific parking structure have also helped the City maxi- mize their parking revenues. A close partnership with the City on strategic planning for the Grand Prix of Long Beach, 4th of July festivities and the Long Beach Marathon have resulted in a staggering 100% increase in revenues from special events. CITY OF ANAHEIM Serving since November, 2008 Central Parking operates the Anaheim Hilton Parking Structure, a shared facility for visitors and employees of the Convention Center and the Anaheim Hilton. In the past several years, Central has successfully identified and resolved all critical issues noted during the transition period, creating a user-friendly parking environment while maximizing revenues and profits for the City of Anaheim. Strict controls and attention to accounting details have increased profits for the City. In addition, we replaced all generic validation programs with a secured validation program, resulting in higher revenues. Through our partnership with the City, we have been instrumental in reducing operating expenses while maintaining the highest level of customer service. In the past 28 months, the City of Anaheim has received a monthly surplus payment in each of these months when historically, prior to November 2008, the City was being invoiced by the previous parking operator. 25F-50
