2. UPDATE ON PEPSI CONTRACT
~ Staff presented an update on the 5-year agreement with Pepsi Cola Bottling Group, which
expired on May 3, 2004 and the action City Council took on June 21, 2004 to extend the
agreement to January 1, 2005. Staff met with Coca-Cola to discuss other areas of interest to
be included in the RFP for a new beverage-vending contract. Coca-Cola indicated their
marketing/advertisement is done on a national level and any marketing revenue to cities at a
local level would be highly unlikely. They are not interested in naming rights, but a one-time
contribution could be possible. Vandalism to the machines is a major problem in
unsupervised areas and cuts into the revenue to both the local agency and the beverage
company.
Pepsi is currently going through reorganization. When a new vending manager is identified,
staff will set up a meeting with Pepsi. Staff provided information on possible consultant
services, but Committee felt the cost for services would out weigh the revenue.
ACTION ITEM:
. Talk to Finance Department to looking into possible credit card advertisement.
3. JOINT USE AGREEMENT UPDATE
On May 24th the Santa Ana Unified School District and City staff met to discuss joint use of
facilities. The discussion focused on a joint use library at Hector Godinez High School. The
City is not interested, but would consider leasing the McFadden Library to the District to
operate as a library/technology center. A meeting will be re-schedule in 60 days ifthe
District is interested in the proposal and to continue discussion on a joint use agreement.
