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