Our goal will be to successfully <br />relocate to a new site three historic Santa Ana homes, Included in this process will be the <br />necessary design documents needed to facilitate this relocation and restoration, Our collective <br />experience, coupled with an ongoing working relationship with The City of Santa Ana will facilitate <br />the end goal. <br />Our firm is available immediately to begin the design process.

Construction Documents will follow in approximately four to six weeks. <br />e cr�Ptro t th `firm's resoufces _` �14,�., <br />James Gartner & Associates Architects, Inc. was founded in Santa Ana by James Gartner, January <br />1It, 1987. Mr. Gartner's first formal office was located in the City of Santa Ana Business Enterprise <br />Center in mid 1987. The firm remained in this location for four years. Our new home after a <br />successful start and assistance from the City of Santa Ana was at #3 Hutton Centre also in the City <br />of Santa Ana. Our current location is at 2036 N. Broadway, Santa Ana, CA. This building is owned <br />by James & Nancy Gartner and has provided a permanent home for our offices for the past nine <br />years. <br />Our firm is staffed by two licensed architects, James R. Gartner AIA and Jorge Pena AIA. In <br />addition we employ a Sr. Designer, a draftsman, and a professional executive assistant, We have <br />found that by keeping our firm small it has afforded us hands on opportunities to compete for <br />large and small projects. For example one of our largest clients is The Cheesecake Factory. The <br />knowledge required to provide design services for one of America's most complex restaurants is <br />staggering. Yet, they prefer firms between six and eight persons so that they can receive personal <br />attention. <br />Our consulting engineers are all from the local area. The structural engineer that we intend to <br />utilize for this project is located in Santa Ana (Langston & Associates). Jim Langston has <br />provided, almost exclusively, engineering services for our firm since its founding, <br />Our working knowledge of The City of Santa Ana, our commissioner experience, commercial <br />property ownership, as well as both Principals living and working in Santa Ana will provide <br />commitment and expertise to the relocation and restoration of these historic homes. <br />3 -16 <br />Page 4 <br />June 5, 2008 <br />
