Revolving Accounts <br />Dear Mr. Morley: <br />eati:'t fl�kf \N a�Yl51 >t E't <br />PO Box 5479 <br />Irvine, CA 92616 -5479 <br />(949) 824 -9660 <br />We represent the Santa Ana Business Council, Inc. ( "SABC ") in its legal matters. We are writing you <br />on behalf of both SABC and Downtown, Inc. ( "Downtown "). Both SABC and Downtown have <br />been working closely with City Manager David Cavazos. Both organizations are pleased with their <br />partnership with the City, axe excited about the great things happening in Santa Ana. <br />As you know, both SABC and Downtown currently receive a revolving $20,000 advance. However, <br />both organizations have continued to have problems with using their allotted funds because of the <br />City's reimbursement policy. In particular, the City's policy is that SABC and Downtown must pay <br />vendors before present the invoice to the City for reimbursement. However, reimbursement from <br />the City often takes weeks. This leaves' both SABC and Downtown without any funds in their <br />account for long periods while they are waiting for the reimbursement of funds. During these times <br />both SABC and Downtown effectively must shut down until they receive sufficient funds to <br />continue operation. <br />To solve this serious issue, SABC and Downtown respectfully request that their respective revolvine <br />accounts be increased to $40.000. The total annual amount allotted to each organization would <br />remain the same, however, increasing the advance amount would give both organizations the <br />flexibility to function how they need to and still comply with the City's reimbursement protocol. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Solomon, Esq. <br />Professor At Law <br />Beau Walker <br />Certified Law Student <br />Darlene Gonzalez <br />Masters in Urban Planning Student <br />EXHIBIT 3 <br />25B -7 <br />
