for reallocation of funds (held in a Trust account) for appropriation and expenditure in the
program noted above. The At the September 20 City Council meeting, staff presented several

The mission of the Santa Ana Chamber Economic Development Council is to bring together
active stakeholders in the city who all desire the same collective outcome: a vibrant, sustainable

way for the growth of social capital. Their goals include: 1) enhancing economic development and
growing the local economy; 2) projecting a positive community image through ongoing multi-
media efforts and 3) linking local schools with the business community in order to help produce a
trained workforce to bridge the existing skills gap. A current roster of the Chamber EDC is
attached (Exhibit 2).
The Chamber EDC is proposing to develop a comprehensive tourism/marketing campaign
focused on citywide promotion, public relations, outreach, and retention. A brief description of
the focus areas of the Chamber's proposal is as follows:
PROMOTION
A year-round program that will actively promote the city as the best location for businesses
through a multi -media campaign including websites, online banner ads, collateral materials such
as rack brochures, membership in key regional trade associations, and publication of a quarterly
newsletter.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
A year-round publicity campaign that will develop opportunities to show the city in a positive light
through feature stories in prominent local publications online as well as in the O.C. Register, L.A.
Times, and Orange County Business Journal, and in broadcast and cable television and radio
station newscasts.
OUTREACH
The annual GROW Economic Development Conference has tripled in the number of attendees
over the last three years. Over 360 developers, investors, brokers, and businesses attended this
past October's Conference. Additional outreach efforts will include a program to attract new
tenants for Santa Ana commercial real estate space - compiling current market information and
partnering with key brokers to develop and share leads on prospective tenants that match up with
space opportunities, hosting events that draw an audience of real estate decision makers, and
participation in regional trade shows.
RETENTION
The City and the Chamber of Commerce are entering their third year of a program in which
teams of City staffers and business leaders pair up monthly to visit and survey local businesses
in order to compile a valuable business database. Over 300 local businesses have been visited
since the inception of the program. The City has received valuable feedback on the issues that
are important to businesses operating in Santa Ana both large and small.
A more detailed scope of work of the proposal is included in the Agreement.
The Chamber of Commerce will administer the funds through their non-profit arm, the Santa Ana
Vitality Foundation. The Foundation's specific purpose is to enhance economic development and
community image and grow the local economy.
