ESSENTIAL USE CERTIFICATE Holman Capital Corporation 29883 Santa Margarita Parkway, Suite 100 Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688 June 5, 2015 Re: Equipment Lease - Purchase Agreement dated June 5, 2015 I, David Cavazos, the City Manager of the City of Santa Ana, as lessee (the `Lessee "), am qualified to answer the questions set forth below regarding the Equipment to be acquired by Lessee in connection with the above - referenced Lease Agreement: What is the specific use of the Equipment? Financing of the Partnership Costs owed to the County of Orange would allow the City and its recently purchased equipment to access the 800 MHz communication system and improve the reliability of communication related to any public safety incidents within the county or in the event of a natural disaster. Equipment used under the 800 MHz system is used for radio communications by the Police and Fire Agencies for emergency and non - emergency daily operations, special events, and inter - agency communications during mutual aid situations and potentially catastrophic events. It provides the same interoperable capabilities for Public Works and Lifeguard Agencies, as well. The use of the 800 MHz Countywide Coordinated Communications System (CCCS) is achieved through a Partnership with Orange County Police, Fire, Public Works and Lifeguard Agencies. 2. What increased capabilities will the Equipment provide? The Orange County 800 MHz CCCS services communications and interoperability requirements of all County and City Public Safety agencies in Orange County. The existing system is outdated, and to extend the useful service life of the system a systematic replacement of critical infrastructure and electric equipment is required. Replacement and/or upgrades to both hardware and software will be required to maintain a state -of -the -art system and to extend the life of this valuable infrastructure. The system will provide the same quality capabilities with Next Generation technology that helps agencies provide for the safety and well -being of their communities. Why is the Equipment essential to your ability to deliver governmental services? Financing of the Partnership Costs owed to the County of Orange would allow the City and its recently purchased equipment to access the 800 MHz communication system and improve the reliability of communication related to any public safety incidents within the county or in the event of a natural disaster. The 800 MHz CCCS provides critical interoperable communication needs for all Police, Fire, Public Works and Lifeguard Agencies during normal operations, and in the event of a natural disaster. Maintaining state -of -the -art radio communication technology is essential to the efforts of community safety. D -1 WCSR 339735920
