Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute agreements with Downtown
Inc. and Santa Ana Business Council to establish a Merchants Fund for a period of January 1,
2018 through January 1, 2019 in the amount of $200,000 ($100,000 per organization), subject to
non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On August 4, 2015, the City Council adopted the Downtown Enhancements and Parking
Modernization Plan (Plan) to address the need to modernize parking structures, enhance public
amenities, and address deferred maintenance in the downtown. As part of the Plan, downtown
business associations and stakeholders agreed to an increase in parking rates and the
implementation of new smart meters in the downtown area with the understanding that increased
revenue from these new rates and smart meters would be reinvested back into the downtown.
As part of the Plan, it was proposed that a Downtown Merchants/Validation Fund be created to
fund a validation program for participating business and merchants to reward their customers for
using the parking structures. Before implementation, both merchant groups and the City staff
decided that a validation program was not feasible due to the complicated administration of the
program. Downtown Inc. and Santa Ana Business Council requested that the Validation Fund be
changed to a Merchants Fund, (Exhibit 1 and 2) for continued promotion and marketing of the
downtown (Exhibit 3).
Both Associations have provided budgets (Exhibit 4) for the administration of the Merchants
Fund. This funding will continue to support strong marketing efforts and will allow for successful
year-round administration of events for the Downtown. This additional $100,000 per organization
will complement the existing funds each association receives from the City's Business

Dear City Manager David Cavazos,
Raul Yanez
President
Santa Ana Business Council
400 E. 4th St.
Santa Ana, CA 92701
In 2014, the City of Santa Ana and downtown BID groups entered an agreement to increase the
price of parking downtown with the requirement that parking revenues be reinvested in the downtown.
This program has been widely successful: adding four new beat cops to our streets. improving lighting
in the parking garages and constructing a public bathroom on 3rd and Bush Streets. In the initial talks
between the City of Santa Ana and the downtown BID groups, these projects and others were listed on a
spreadsheet of projects to fund from the parking revenue. One of the original line items in the parking
proposal was to give $100,000 to each BID management organization to expand marketing and
promotions for downtown_
At the time, the BID groups requested that the $200,000 proposed to be given to them be used to
create a City of Santa -hosted validation program that would allow customers to gain access to some free
parking while shopping downtown. In our more recent conversation with downtown liaison Victor
Negrete, we learned that the City has assessed that implementing the validation program as a marketable
public program is not possible in the way we had originally hoped. Therefore, we are writing to request
25D-27
you to revert the $200,000 line item in the parking projects fund pipeline back to die original intent, and
have it go toward the BIDs communication, marketing and promotion of downtown.
The boards of both Santa Ana Business Council, Downtown Inc. and the Downtown Restaurant
Association have all voted to amend the contract with this new request. Please let us know what steps
are required to amend the agreement at your earliest convenience.
Warm regards,
