EXHIBIT 1 <br />DOWNTOWN CLEAN AND SAFE PROGRAM <br />SERVICES AGREEMENT <br />This SERVICES AGREEMENT made and entered into this _ day of , 2017, by and <br />between the City of Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation duly organized and existing <br />under the Constitution and laws of the State of California ("City"), and Downtown Incorporated, <br />Inc., a California non-profit corporation ("DTI"). <br />RECITALS <br />A. On January 31, 2013, the City executed Settlement and Release Agreement No. A-2013-039 <br />with DTI to fund the downtown's Clean and Safe Program for three years at a cost of <br />$400,000 per year. The terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement automatically <br />renewed in one year terms. <br />B. All other terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement have been completed, but the <br />parties wish to continue the downtown Clean and Safe Program. Accordingly, the purpose <br />of this Services Agreement is to terminate the Settlement and Release Agreement while <br />continuing with the downtown Clean and Safe Program. <br />C. The current downtown Clean and Safe Program maintenance includes: sidewalk sweeping <br />and pressure washing; gum removal; trash and/or bulky item removal; <br />alley/median/parkway maintenance; and, litter and debris pick-up. Each maintenance service <br />assists in beautifying the downtown district and enhances the image of the commercial core. <br />This activity is designed to increase customer comfort with the downtown, which will in <br />turn increase commerce and help to attract and retain new businesses within the district. <br />D. Downtown Santa Ana continues to experience growth as well as challenges. Recent trends <br />of an increasing transient population are requiring additional litter maintenance and street <br />cleaning needs. A higher influx of visitors to the downtown at night have also added to the <br />higher levels of maintenance necessary to keep the downtown as an attractive, safe and <br />clean place for residents and visitors to the area. <br />E. Asa result, DTI requested an additional'$100,000; for a total of $500,000 per year, to hire <br />two new full-time staff members ($67,200 per year) whose duties will include current <br />maintenance, as well as additional new duties like the placement and removal of recently <br />purchased street furniture. Two more pressure washing days will also be added to their <br />current schedule ($32,799.96 per year). <br />F. These downtown Clean and Safe Program services are meant to complement the existing <br />activities provided pursuant to the City's Business Improvement District ("BID"). <br />25C-3 <br />
