AGENDA TITLE
Washington Square Park Feasibility Study
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the Washington Square Park Feasibility Study.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Washington Square Park Feasibility Study evaluates the potential development of a neighborhood park on vacant parcels located at the northeast corner of the Washington Square Neighborhood.
Background
In 2022, Mr. John Fairbrother, on behalf of the Alexander Dantes LLC, approached City staff regarding the potential sale of vacant property located in the Washington Square Neighborhood Association (WSNA) boundaries for use as a public park. Mr. Fairbrother also contacted neighborhood association leaders, which prompted the WSNA to form a Park Ad-Hoc Committee. The WSNA Park Ad-Hoc Committee conducted a petition for acquisition, securing 686 signatures, and submitted it to the City in July 2023. On June 4, 2024, City Council adopted a budget that included funding for staff to conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the process for and costs related to the potential acquisition of the subject properties and development of a park.
Existing Conditions
The property owned by Alexander Dantes LLC consists of four parcels; three undeveloped vacant sites and one with a single-family home. All four parcels are designated as residential under the General Plan and are zoned R-1 allowing for the construction of single family homes. There is also an additional vacant residential parcel adjacent to the four owned by Alexander Dantes LLC that was included in the feasibility study.

Feasibility Study
The study, based on a February 2024 appraisal and analysis of City planning documents, examines three development options with estimated costs ranging from $5.9 million to $10.4 million (inclusive of property acquisition).
The options vary in size from 1 acre to 1.74 acres and differ in proposed amenities. The estimated costs include the following key assumptions:
• Willing seller(s), meaning no eminent domain process is needed. • Ease of construction on vacant parcels.
• There are no access concerns and no traffic impacts to address when constructing a neighborhood park serving residents within a 5–10 minute walk. • Storm water management to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) has been included in the development costs. • The project is categorically exempt from a CEQA environmental review. • The project has minimal permitting requirements.
• There are suitable soil conditions, with no need for remediation.
Below is a summary of the three options evaluated based on the City’s appraisal, not the offered selling price.

Receive and File Washington Square Park Feasibility Study September 16, 2025
Option 1 consists of the purchase of three vacant parcels, with the fourth parcel containing an occupied single-family residence remaining under the ownership of Alexander Dantes LLC. The owner did not offer a sale price for the three parcels; however, they were appraised at a value of $3.6 million. This option would avoid added costs that may be associated with relocation of the existing residents and associated demolition costs. The park size would be 1.01 acres.
Option 2 would include acquisition of the fourth parcel, requiring demolition of the home and tenant relocation. The four parcels are appraised at a value of $4.9 million and the owner has offered the four parcels at a sale price of $6.8 million. This option adds significant costs related to option 1 but increases the size of park space by an additional
0.31 acres.
Option 3 would add the fifth adjacent parcel owned by the Jessup Ann Hayden Trust.
The owners of this parcel have not indicated if they would be a willing seller, which means the City may have to use eminent domain to acquire the parcel. This option results in the largest park option at 1.74 acres.
The analysis finds the proposed use would be consistent with the City’s General Plan, Open Space Element, and Parks Master Plan, particularly in addressing park equity, access, and environmental justice in an underserved area identified as Park Gap Area
15. While the Parks Master Plan would not require amendment, the General Plan and zoning would require updates.
All proposed options would require a similar path toward acquisition and development, with the exception of Option 3’s potential for eminent domain. The steps for development into a City Park would consist of the following:
• Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
• City Council approval of a purchase and sale agreement for the parcels • Preparation of CEQA documents for proposed park project • Planning Commission and City Council action to amend General Plan land use designation from residential to open space including adherence to Sunshine Ordinance requirements
• Design and preparation of park construction documents • City Council award of construction contract
Once the property is acquired and project funding is secured, it would take approximately 12-18 months to prepare environmental documents and design plans for award of construction contract. Construction of the park would likely take an additional 8-12 months.
City Council 10 – 3 9/16/2025
Receive and File Washington Square Park Feasibility Study September 16, 2025
Recommendations and Funding
The study concludes that all three options are technically viable. A new park would address community requests and would help close a documented park service gap.
Challenges exist for all three options. While the parcels owned by Alexander Dantes LLC have been presented as available from a willing seller, the City’s appraised value is below the previously indicated owner’s asking price. As previously indicated, while Option 3 presents the largest park option, the ease of acquisition of the parcel owned by the Jessup Ann Hayden Trust is uncertain.
Funds for ongoing maintenance and security of any proposed park would need to be identified and added to the recurring budget. These costs can vary widely depending on the size of park and type of amenities ultimately included. Additionally, the City is currently in the process of delivering major park renovation projects and two new parks, one of which is located in the adjacent Willard Neighborhood with a walking distance ranging from 200 feet to 0.6 miles from the Washington Square neighborhood. Once completed, these parks will require recurring budget allocations for ongoing maintenance and security. If not adequately funded, maintenance of a new park within Washington Square Neighborhood would add to the strain on existing park maintenance resources.
While funds were allocated for the evaluation and feasibility of a potential park in the Washington Square Neighborhood, no funding has been identified for acquisition and development. As such, Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the Washington Square Park Feasibility Study.

Washington Square Park Feasibility Study City of Santa Ana July 2025
1. Executive Summary
In response to a 2022 offer from a property owner representative to sell four parcels in the Washington Square Neighborhood for potential park development, the City of Santa Ana (City) conducted a feasibility study to evaluate the site’s suitability. The proposed location includes four parcels which sit within an underserved area identified as Park Gap Area 15 in the City’s Parks Master Plan (PMP), and within a designated Environmental Justice Community. Neighborhood residents have shown strong support for a public park, with 99% in favor during community outreach, and the Washington Square Neighborhood Association (WSNA) has actively advocated for the project with City officials.
This study, led by Public Works Park Services with input from multiple City departments, found that the project strongly aligns with the City's General Plan, Open Space Element, and PMP goals, including increasing park equity, access, and environmental justice. Three development options were considered, with estimated costs to acquire and develop ranging from approximately $6 million to $10.4 million depending on park size and features.
Option 1 – $5,866,900
Option 2 - $7,895,300
Option 3 - $10,371,500
No estimate of costs associated with eminent domain or relocation is included, traffic impacts are minimal, and the site may support stormwater infiltration strategies. The proposed neighborhood park is viable, fills a documented service gap, and presents a strategic opportunity for land acquisition, community health improvement, and potential grant opportunities. However, no funds are currently allocated for acquisition or development of a park at this location.

2. Background
In 2022, Mr. John Fairbrother, on behalf of the Alexander Dantes LLC ownership (“Dantes”), reached out to the City, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA), concerning sale of vacant property located within the Washington Square Neighborhood Association (WSNA) boundaries, for a public park for the Washington Square community. The properties, AP-405-321-08, -09, -12, and -13, located along the northern edge of the neighborhood, are four parcels; three undeveloped sites, and one with a single-family home (see Appendix A and B). The properties are currently zoned R-1. His asking price was $6.8M. The appraised value is $4.9M. An internal cost analysis was also conducted and findings are discussed in the “Property Appraisal” section below. Mr. Fairbrothers also reached out to the neighborhood association leaders to relay his contact with the City.
In 2023, WSNA requested Public Works Agency (PWA) Park Services attend a neighborhood association meeting to provide an update on another park project: a new park at 10th and Flower Streets, in the Willard neighborhood located to the east. During that meeting, questions were raised by the residents about the vacant parcels within Washington Square, and the neighborhood expressed strong interest for the City to acquire the lots for the purpose of developing their own neighborhood park; 49 of the 50 attendees were in favor of converting the lots for this purpose. City staff informed the group of the funding limitations that exist.
The WSNA mobilized a Park Ad-Hoc committee and proceeded to acquire signatures in support of a new public park (see Appendix H). They went on to contact City Council members, and attended numerous PRCSA Commission and City Council meetings to advocate for the study of the park.
Elected officials looked to City Executive Management staff who recommended a Feasibility Study before acquisition could be considered. WSNA attended the Measure X Oversight Committee meeting to lobby for funding. In 2024, when the City adopted the FY24/25 Annual Budget, it included a $100,000 allocation for this study. Although initial direction was given to the staff to retain a consultant for this endeavor, it was determined that the feasibility study could be conducted internally, and such is the purpose of this report. The study included input and involvement of four internal agencies – PWA, CDA, PBA, PRCSA, with PWA Park Services leading the effort. In particular, the study included examining the City’s General Plan/Open Space Element, the Parks Master Plan, the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program and the Stormwater Master Plan.
The following analysis and findings support the final determination that this request aligns with City Planning efforts and approved planning documents, and is a viable consideration.
City Council Page 5 10 – 9 9/16/2025
Washington Square Park Feasibility Study City of Santa Ana July 2025
3. Property Appraisal
The appraisal report prepared for the City (see Appendix F) provides a detailed valuation of a ±1.32-acre site comprised of four parcels (APNs 405-321-08, -09, -12, and -13) under consideration for potential acquisition is part of a proposed community park. The report concludes a total market value of $3,710,000 as of February 8, 2024. This value is based on a highest and best use analysis, which determined that the three vacant parcels are best suited for future single-family residential development, while the fourth parcel— improved with a single-family home—is most valuable as currently developed. The appraiser utilized the Sales Comparison Approach, deemed the most relevant method for this property type, and excluded the Cost and Income Approaches due to their limited applicability in this context. The report also noted a reasonable market exposure time of 6 to 12 months. These findings offer an objective and well-supported estimate of current market value and are a key input in the feasibility study, providing the City with a clear understanding of acquisition costs and land-use implications as it evaluates the viability of converting the site into a public park.
Dantes Properties
The Dantes properties are unique in the City, and comparable properties are not currently available for lease or sale. The Dantes properties consist of 1.32 acres, with a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom house, with an adjacent
1.01 acres (of the 1.32 acres) that are vacant, unimproved, residential single-family land. The property is currently listed on Redfin (and other listing services) for $6,950,000 by Clarke Fairbrother of Newport Pacific Capital Company ([email protected]). The difference between the listing price and the appraised value is significant ($3,240,000) because in order to develop the properties for residential single-family, there would need to be public right of way dedications (sidewalk, parkway and cul de sac of 90 feet in diameter) to provide proper circulation at the end of Lowell and Olive Streets. This right of way dedication could take away approximately 6,400 square feet at the end Lowell and Olive Streets to provide the sidewalk, parkways and cul de sacs for automobiles, large waste hauling trucks, and emergency fire vehicles that would be consistent with the rest of the neighborhood.
Hayden Trust Property
The City has also included an analysis of the adjacent Jessup Ann Hayden Trust property (Hayden Trust) - Assessor Parcel Number 405-321-14. Similar to the Dantes properties, the Hayden Trust property is also unique consisting of 0.42 acres of vacant, unimproved, residential single-family land. This property has not been listed for sale and contact between the City and the property owner has not occurred. Similar to the Dantes properties, the Hayden Trust property would require public right of way dedications (sidewalk, parkway and cul de sac of 90 feet in diameter) for residential development to provide proper circulation at the end of Lowell Street for automobiles, large waste hauling trucks, and emergency fire vehicles.
Updated Property Valuation
In order to provide an update of potential appraisal value based on the Feb. 2024 appraisal, a review of recent comparable sales from January 1, 2025 through May 31, 2025 was conducted for both residential single-family homes in the Washington Square neighborhood and vacant, unimproved residential single-family land in the City.
Utilizing the Sales Comparison approach an estimated value for 1501 N. Lowell is $1,328,400. This is based City Council Page 6 10 – 10 9/16/2025
Washington Square Park Feasibility Study City of Santa Ana July 2025 on the most comparable sales price of $1,230,000 at 925 N. Lowell that occurred on May 19, 2025.
Additionally, an increase of 8% was added to the most comparable sales price due to the 1501 N. Lowell having a larger lot, an additional bedroom, 2 additional bathrooms, a larger lot size (13,608 square feet) and a larger building size (2,304 square feet). The increase of 8% was determined by analyzing sales prices of 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms residential single-family home sales compared to sales prices of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms residential single-family home sales in the City.

The estimated value for vacant, unimproved, residential single-family land was determined to be $81.60 per square foot. This per square foot value would yield an acquisition price of $3,566,980 for the three (3) vacant, unimproved, residential single-family properties owned by Dantes. An acquisition price of $1,476,177 for the vacant, unimproved, residential single-family property owned by the Hayden Trust was estimated.
This $81.60 per square foot value was based on a comparable sales analysis. The most comparable sale at 527 N. Fairlawn had a per square foot value of $74.18.
For the analysis of recent, comparable, unimproved, vacant residential land sales, there were two (2) comparable sales to analyze in the City. Unimproved, vacant, residential land sales were also examined in 2025 and four (4) different sales were found with comparable per square foot values ranging from approximately $70 to $90 per square foot. After examining these sales, the sales price of $74.18 per square foot for 527 N. Fairlawn was determined to be the most comparable sale. An increase of 10% has been applied to the per square foot value of $74.18 because the Dantes and the Hayden Trust properties in City Council Page 7 10 – 11 9/16/2025
Washington Square Park Feasibility Study City of Santa Ana July 2025 comparison to the two (2) comparable sales in the City are larger. Additionally, the Dantes and Hayden Trust properties are located in a neighborhood that is considered to be more desirable with superior property values compared to the neighborhoods for the two (2) comparable land sales in the City. The estimated value for the Dantes and Hayden Trust properties would be $81.60 per square foot, and that would then be applied to the lot size for each of these four (4) Dantes and Hayden Trust properties, as follows:

Additional Expenses - Relocation
The City is unaware if there are currently any residential tenants at 1501 N. Lowell or if there will be in the future. In the Redfin listing there is no mention of residential tenants in the single-family house included in the listing. If a tenant were to be occupying 1501 N. Lowell at the time that acquisition is considered the following provides a summary of potential relocation benefits:
Information about available replacement housing units.
Help in identifying and obtaining suitable, comparable housing.
Explanation of relocation rights and benefits.
Rental Assistance for Replacement Housing - If the rent at a comparable replacement unit is higher than what the tenant pays at 1501 N. Lowell, the tenant is eligible for a rent differential payment, calculated over a 42-month period. For example: If the new rent is $200/month more than the old rent, the tenant may receive up to $8,400 (200 × 42), subject to certain limits.
Additional rental assistance may cover security deposits, utility hookup fees, or credit checks required at the City Council Page 8 10 – 12 9/16/2025
Washington Square Park Feasibility Study City of Santa Ana July 2025 new rental.
Moving Expenses – If there were a tenant, after a “move” estimate is obtained the tenant can be reimbursed for the cost of moving, including:
Transportation of personal property.
Packing/unpacking and insurance from damage/loss during the move of personal items.
Temporary storage of personal items (if needed).

4. Entitlement Process
The entitlement process for the proposed Washington Square Park is a multi-phase effort designed to ensure thorough planning, regulatory compliance, and community involvement, with a sequence that spans from early coordination through final construction. The process begins with internal coordination, architectural design, and preliminary CEQA discussions, followed by community outreach efforts such as workshops and public meetings to gather feedback and build support. Once conceptual plans are developed, they are reviewed by city departments and presented at required community meetings to satisfy public notification and transparency requirements. Environmental review under CEQA includes preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), a formal Notice of Preparation (NOP), and a 30-day public review period to collect and respond to comments. Entitlement actions proceed through public hearings before the Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council, addressing items such as zoning, general plan amendments, park naming, and environmental adoption. These steps follow required noticing periods and public comment timelines, contributing to a process that typically unfolds over several months. After entitlements are approved, the project moves into plan check, permitting, and construction, culminating in final inspections and project closeout. This structured timeline ensures the park is developed in compliance with legal requirements while incorporating public input and interdepartmental coordination at each stage.

5. Evaluation
Evaluation and assessment of this potential project include referencing the Parks Master Plan (PMP), General Plan Open Space Element (GP – OS), and other considerations, as described below.
5.1 Parks Master Plan
Staff referred to the Parks Master Plan to determine if there was alignment. It was determined there was, in the following areas:
Gap Area 15: The PMP conducted an access analysis, which used the city’s General Plan, City and Census data to map residential areas currently served and unserved by existing parks. Map B-3 (see Appendix C) shows areas served within a 10-minute walk to Citywide and Community Parks, and within a 5-minute walk to other park types. These areas are shown shaded green on the exhibit. Areas that are not served are shown within a black lasso and shaded yellow and considered a “Gap Area”. The Washington Square neighborhood falls within Park Gap Area #15, as do the subject properties.
Environmental Justice Area: The Washington Square neighborhood and subject properties both fall within an identified Environmental Justice Community. These communities fall in areas of the City where residents have the highest risk of exposure to pollution in the air, water and soil.
Project Evaluation and Prioritization Scorecard: To assist the City in focusing on priority projects, the PMP includes a Two-Step evaluation process for evaluating and prioritizing recommended capital projects.
Since the PMP couldn’t anticipate all projects needs as circumstances could change over the ten years following its adoption, this evaluation framework was intended to help vet new projects as they arose. The potential for a new park within the Washington Square neighborhood scored 17/32 on this scorecard (see Exhibit D)
PMP Actions & Goals: Consideration of acquisition of the subject properties aligns strongly with Action Item #6 “Pursue Key Land Acquisition Opportunities”. This action calls for the city to “aggressively pursue opportunities to acquire available lands that meet multiple PMP criteria for enhancing the park and recreation system”. Along with this, the project aligns strongly with four Initiatives: Initiative 1: “Parkland” (Acquire & develop parks to increase the amount of parkland and create an integrated park and open space system), Initiative 2: “Equity, Access and Environmental Justice” (Ensure that all residents in Santa Ana have equitable access to inclusive parks and healthy recreation opportunities that serve all, in underserved areas of the city), Initiative 5: “Activity” (Facilitate recreation activities to support community health and fitness), and Initiative 7: Collaboration (Engage residents in enhancing parks and recreation opportunities). Classification: A potential park within the Washington Square would fall into the “neighborhood park” classification, as defined by the Parks Master Plan, which is defined as a small park, typically 1-5 acres, intended to serve nearby neighbors. These sites provide small-scale opportunities for play, picnicking and leisure activities for residents that live within 5-10 minute walk, or biking distance.
General Plan - Open Space Element
This proposed project aligns with Goals, Policies, and Implementation Actions of the General Plan, Open Space Element, as follows:
Goal OS-1: Parks, Open Space and Recreation: provide an integrated system of accessible parks, recreation facilities, trails and open space to serve the City of Santa Ana. Policy OS-1.2: Parks and Recreation System
Policy OS-1.4: Park Distribution
City Council Page 11 10 – 15 9/16/2025

Policy OS-1.6: Park Access and Connectivity
Policy OS-1.8: Land Acquisition and Equitable Distribution Policy OS-1.10: Creative Solutions for Deficiencies
Goal OS-2: Health, Safe and Inclusive Opportunities: Provide welcoming, inclusive, safe and healthy parks, recreation facilities, and activities to serve Santa Ana residents regardless of age, ability or income. Policy OS-2.1: Recreation Variety
Policy OS-2.2: Healthy Parks and Public Spaces
Policy OS-2.3: Active Lifestyles
Policy OS-2.5: Air quality & Heat
Policy OS-2.6: Connection To Nature
Policy OS-2.11: Community Involvement
Policy OS-2.13: Neighborhood Needs
Policy OS-2.14: ADA Accessibility
Policy OS-2.15: Inclusive Affordable Recreation
Implementation Action 1.15:
Community Input: Identify and utilize community engagement tools, initiated through the PMP, for residents and facility users to provide ongoing input about open space needs, park design, facility improvements and programming.
Implementation Action 1.16:
Acquisitions to meet park standard: Using the PMP as guidance, identify and acquire property within the City for park and open space use which will focus on bringing the park and recreation system to three acres of land per 1,000 residents with a plan to keep pace with future urban growth.
Implementation Action 2.8:
Public Input: Collect community input regarding park design and programming at the beginning of the planning process whenever a new facility is proposed.
5.2 Other Considerations
Willing Seller:
Alexander Dantes is a willing seller and Mr. Fairbrothers, on his behalf, made an initial verbal offer to sell of $6.8m. An appraisal, conducted by Hennessey & Hennessey, LLC in February 2024, provided an Opinion of Value of $3.7m. (See Appendix F). The Community Development Agency is currently reviewing and assessing this information. No relocation would be required.
In prior years, a proposed project for R-2 Residential Development at this location was met with objections from the Washington Square Neighborhood community. Subsequently it did not move forward. The neighborhood has strongly indicated that they want a public park; not to dissuade development (which they oppose) but because they want a place for their children to play, to take their dogs, and to use for community gatherings and events.
Neighborhood input collected during neighborhood meetings, and received in writing from residents, were considered and incorporated when developing preliminary concept studies.
The subject project, located in the north-east end of Washington Square, would serve everyone within the neighborhood and is assessable by foot within a 5-10 minute walk.
The existing site is currently undeveloped and vacant. There is no indication that any site remediation would be necessary. As development would most likely be a Pocket or Neighborhood Park, parking would not be a City Council Page 12 10 – 16 9/16/2025
Washington Square Park Feasibility Study City of Santa Ana July 2025 consideration and access would be via walking or biking.
Traffic Engineering:
This project was reviewed with Public Works Traffic Engineering team, to examine the nexus with the citywide “Safe Routes to Schools” (SRTS) and “Safe Routes to Parks” (SRTP) network. Two elementary schools, Hero’s Elementary and Wilson Elementary, serve the Washington Square (and adjacent) neighborhood. Planned SRTS routes are recommended along Washington Avenue and Baker Street.
Washington is a main route through the mid-section of Washington Square, with pedestrian and bike-able collector streets running perpendicular to it, in a north-south direction. Also, from a traffic engineering perspective, no traffic impacts are anticipated as the potential park will not include parking due to the recommendation for a neighborhood park classification. Along with that, WSNA currently employs a parking permit program.
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES):
Park Planning also consulted with the Public Works “National Pollution Discharge Elimination System” (NPDES) Division, who oversee stormwater management operations citywide. Based on stormwater infiltration guiding documents, infiltration at 17th & Flower appears to be feasible. A site-specific geotech report and percolation testing will need to be conducted to confirm. Whether a major storm water capture facility is appropriate for consideration at this site or at minimum, infiltration via swales and raingardens, will be examined further should the project advance to the design development phase.
Grant Funding
Park acquisition and development projects provide for a strong application and is a judicious mechanism to leverage local (city) funds to help advance the Park Master Plan and its number one Initiative to acquire and develop parkland to create an integrated park and open space system that meets the needs of our community.
The State of California Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) priorities for local agency competitive grant programs are:
1. New Park Access
a. Create or expand parks in communities that lack sufficient park space. Create new parks within a half mile of underserved communities, or expand existing parks to increase the ratio of park acreage per resident in underserved areas. This may include innovative solutions such as acquiring private land from willing sellers such as vacant lots and blighted buildings, converting streets to create or expand parks, or converting closed schools.
b. Acquire private land from willing sellers in natural areas to expand regional parks, or create new open space areas for outdoor recreation while preserving nature.
2. Multi-Use Parks Designed for All Age Groups in New or Existing Parks a. Construct recreation features designed to bring families together by supporting art and music, sports, and multi-generational activities.
b. Construct recreation features for all age groups to support different active and passive recreation interests of all ages.
c. Incorporate project design ideas from all age groups.
3. Health Design Goals for New or Existing Parks
a. Include recreation features resulting from asking community members for their park design ideas for public health.
4. Safety and Beautification for New or Existing Parks
a. Construct lighting for night-time use, or restrooms, landscaping, signs, or other enhancements to make the park appear welcoming and support longer hours of use.
5. Preservation
a. Through the LWCF, place outdoor open space land under new LWCF protection for public recreation.

6. Recommended Options
There are three options as part of this study. Visuals for three potential layouts are included in this report (Appendix E). These concepts consider a number of scenarios where existing properties, individually or as a whole, could be acquired, sold, and done in partnership with a private developer to bring a vision to fruition. Option 1 reflects purchase of three of four (vacant, undeveloped) Dantes parcels (Assessor Parcel Numbers 405-321-08, 09, 13), developing them into park/open space. This option doesn’t include the purchase of the existing single-family home, maintaining the use for that purpose. o This option would allow for a 1-acre neighborhood park that could include a children’s playground, neighborhood event gathering areas, passive areas and a dog run. These elements resulted from input collected through community outreach.
o The west end of the site would remain passive open space (undeveloped) to allow for a future offset cul-de-sac, should the adjacent property owner wish to sell and develop the parcel into housing. The offset cul-de-sac would allow for needed access.
o The cost estimate for this Option 1 is $5.9m ($2.72m acquisition [Feb. 2024 appraised value of Dantes vacant, undeveloped land] + $847,000 [increased value of Dantes vacant, undeveloped land based on recent land sales] + $2.3m development).
Option 2 reflects purchase of the four available parcels, including the single-family home, all Dantes parcels (Assessor Parcel Numbers 405-321-08, 09, 12 and 13, and converting all to park/open space. o This layout builds upon Option 1, expanding park acreage to 1.32-acre, with children’s playground, neighborhood event gathering area, and passive seating areas, with room to expand west should that owner (Jessup Ann Hayden Trust, the “Hayden Trust,” Assessor Parcel Number 405-321-14) become a willing seller.
o This option includes demolition of the single-family home. o The west end of the site would remain passive open space (undeveloped) to allow for a future offset cul-de-sac, should the adjacent property owner (Hayden Trust) wish to sell and develop the parcel into housing. The offset cul-de-sac would allow for needed access. o The cost estimate for this Option 1 is $7.9m ($3.7m acquisition [Feb. 2024 appraised value] + $338,400 [increased value of recent comparable single-family home sales] + $847,000 [increased value based on recent, vacant, undeveloped residential land sales] + $3m demolition and development).
Option 3 is a long-term plan, which would include purchase of a fifth parcel owned by the Hayden Trust, should the owner be willing to sell, and developing Option 2 as well as the vacant site owned by Hayden Trust into parkland.
o This option would continue to building upon Options 1 and 2, adding an additional .42-acre for a total park area of 1.74-acres. It would enable additional neighborhood gathering area, a fitness area, a more welcoming park entry and/or other elements as recommended through collecting additional community input.
o The option would negate the need for a cul-de-sac on Lowell St. o An updated appraisal has not yet been initiated. As stated above, the current property owner is not a willing seller. The city’s position is NOT to exercise eminent domain to acquire this land. o The cost estimate for this option would be $10.4m ($7,895,000 the cost of acquisition and development for Option 2 + $1,476,177 [estimated value to acquire the Hayden Trust vacant site, based on recent, undeveloped residential land sales + the additional development cost of approximately $1m).
With regards to long term maintenance and security, because of the strong interest and commitment displayed by the neighborhood, it would be worth discussions with the community to form a neighborhood “adoption” and/or watch to help care for and monitor the site.
City Council Page 14 10 – 18 9/16/2025
Washington Square Park Feasibility Study City of Santa Ana July 2025 Although another park project is in the works nearby for an adjacent neighborhood, this park fills Gap Area 15 identified in the PMP, and would bring an opportunity for a neighborhood park within a 5-10 walk from the far outreaches of the neighborhood boundaries. In addition, this potential park would add acreage to the city’s park system, add new recreation opportunities for the community, would be a very competitive grant application for acquisition and/or development funding and as such, is a great opportunity to leverage local city funds along with advancing the PMP.

Preface
This is a Restricted Appraisal Report as defined in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). By prior agreement, the client has determined that a Restricted Appraisal Report is appropriate in this instance.
This report is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(b) of USPAP for a Restricted Appraisal Report. As such, it does not present discussions of the data, reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser’s opinion of value. Rather, only brief statements are presented. The supporting documentation concerning the data, reasoning, and analyses is retained in the appraiser’s file. The depth of discussion contained in this report is specific to the needs of the client and for the intended use of this report.
The subject property consists of a ±1.01-acre (±43,891 square feet) site consisting of APNs 405-321-08, -09, and -13, and a single-family residence on APN 405-321-12. Only the Sales Comparison Approach was used to value the subject property. This approach was considered to be the most likely approach a potential purchaser of the subject properties would use. The Income Approach and the Cost Approach were not used, because these approaches are not what market participants use to value these property types. These approaches are not pertinent in this instance.
Standards Rule 2-2(b) of USPAP specifies that a Restricted Appraisal Report address 16 specific issues.
The following sections of this report are presented in a manner so as to comply with the 16 requirements that are specified on the previous page.
i. State the identity of the client, or if the client requested anonymity, state that the identity is withheld at the client’s request but is retained in the appraiser’s workfile; City of Santa Ana
ii. State the identity of any other intended user(s) by name; None
iii. Clearly and conspicuously state a restriction that limits use of the report to the client and the named intended user(s);
The use of this report is limited to the client and intended user, City of Santa Ana. There is no other intended user.
iv. Clearly and conspicuously warn that the report may not contain supporting rationale for all of the opinions and conclusions set forth in the report;
This report is restricted in that it does not present discussions of the data, reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser’s opinion of value. This report cannot be thoroughly understood without this information. This information has been retained in the appraiser’s file.
v. State the intended use of the appraisal;
The intended use of this report is to establish the market value for the subject property as of the effective date of the appraisal. This report is to be used by the City of Santa Ana for internal decision-making purposes, including the possible acquisition of the subject City of Santa Ana

property. The intended users of this report are the employees and duly authorized representatives of the City of Santa Ana.
vi. State information sufficient to identify the real estate involved in the appraisal; Only one of the subject lots has a street address. The address for APN 405-321-12 is 1501 N. Lowell Street, Santa Ana. The balance of the property, APNs 405-321-08, -09, and -13, is vacant and does not have a street address. The subject property is shown on the exhibit in the Appendix of this report.
vii. State the real property interest appraised;
The property rights being appraised are fee simple interest.
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 7th Edition, published in 2022 by the Appraisal Institute defines “fee simple estate” on page 73 as follows:
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.
The fee simple estate valued in this report is appraised as though free and clear of existing leases and all other encumbrances except those noted in the valuation section of this report.
viii. State the type of value and cite the source of its definition; Definition of Market Value
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 7th Edition, published in 2022 by the Appraisal Institute defines “market value” on page 118 as follows:
The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress.
ix. State the effective date of the appraisal and the date of the report; The effective date of the appraisal is February 8, 2024.
The date of the report is February 15, 2024.
x. State the scope of work used to develop the appraisal; The scope of the appraisal is the extent of the process of collecting, confirming, analyzing, and reporting data. The following were completed for this assignment:

General - Subject Property
The subject property is a ±1.32-acre (±57,499 square feet) irregular-shaped site. It is zoned R1, Single Family Residential, which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of LR-7, Low Density Residential.
The larger parcel comprises four Assessor Parcels. Three of the Assessor Parcels – APNs 405-321-08, -09 and -13 – were acquired by the current owner on December 23, 2015 (Document No. 15-645459. The purchase price was not disclosed in public records. These three parcels are vacant land.
The current owner acquired APN 405-321-12 on December 17, 2015 (Document No. 15-638809). This parcel was improved at the time of sale with a ±2,304-square-foot singlefamily residence. The Assessor indicates the date of construction as 2014. This appears to be incorrect due to the style of the home. Most likely, this home was built in 1949 to 1950, which are the dates of construction of similar homes in the neighborhood. There was an addition to the house in 2014.
The buyer purchased these properties with the intention to assemble them to construct a residential development. These transactions are not considered to be current indicators of value, because they took place over 9 years ago under different market conditions. There are no more recent transactions or listings for sale known.
Valuation - Subject Property
The subject was analyzed to see if the single-family residence should be valued as improved or as if vacant. Through the analysis it was found that the highest and best use of this APN was as improved. Therefore, the three vacant APNs are appraised as one site, and the single-family residence was appraised separately. A search for comparable sales was conducted within the City of Santa Ana. Due to the limited number of vacant land sales, the search was expanded to include central and north Orange County. The most relevant sales were used to arrive at the value conclusion. Price per square foot was used as the unit of comparison. The single-family residence was valued using comparable sales in the City of Santa Ana.
The indicated value of the subject property is shown below.

Exposure Time
Exposure time is the amount of time necessary to expose a property in the open market to achieve a sale at the “as is” value conclusion, as of the date of the “as is” value. A reasonable exposure time for the entire subject property is estimated to be between 6 and 12 months.
File Information
As previously stated, this is a Restricted Appraisal Report; therefore, details of the comparable sales and the valuation analyses that have not been included in this report have been retained in the appraiser’s work files.
xiii. State the use of the real estate existing as of the effective date and the use of the real estate reflected in the appraisal;
The subject property is a generally level vacant site with perimeter fencing around APNs 405-321-08, -09, and -13. APN 405-321-12 is improved with a single-family residence with a detached garage.
xiv. When an opinion of the highest and best use was developed by the appraiser, state that opinion;
The conclusion of the highest and best use is based on consideration of those uses that are physically possible, legally permitted, and financially feasible. It is further limited by the use or uses that are maximally productive. After considering these factors, the highest and best use of the vacant portion of the subject property (APNs 405-321-08, -09 and -13) is to be developed with a single-family residential subdivision.
The highest and best use of APN 405-321-12 is as improved. xv. Clearly and conspicuously:
•
•
State all extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions; and State that their use might have affected the assigned results; and The value conclusion is subject to the following hypothetical condition that may affect assignment results:
• None
Hypothetical conditions are contrary to known facts about the physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.
The value conclusion is subject to the following extraordinary assumption that may affect assignment results:
• None.
An extraordinary assumption is uncertain information accepted as fact. If an extraordinary assumption is found to be false as of the effective date of the appraisal, I reserve the right to modify my value conclusions.

Standards Rule (S.R.) 2-1 of the Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute requires the appraiser to “clearly and accurately disclose any assumptions, extraordinary assumptions, hypothetical conditions, and limiting conditions used in the assignment. In compliance with S.R. 2-1, and to assist the reader in interpreting this report, such Assumptions and Limiting Conditions are set forth as follows:
1. This report is restricted in that it does not present discussions of the data, reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser’s opinion of value. This report cannot be thoroughly understood without this information. This information has been retained in the appraiser’s file.
2. The appraiser assumes no responsibility for hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, subsoil, groundwater, or structures that render the subject property more or less valuable. No responsibility is assumed for arranging for engineering, geologic, or environmental studies that may be required to discover such hidden or unapparent conditions.
3. 4.
Hennessey & Hennessey LLC’s liability is limited to the amount of the fee. The firm and the appraiser preparing the report are not responsible for erroneous information provided by others. There is no accountability or liability to a third party.
The contract for appraisal, consultation, or analytical services is fulfilled and the total fee is due upon completion of the report. The appraiser or those assisting in the preparation of the report will not be asked or required to give testimony in court or hearing because of having made the appraisal in full or in part, nor will they be asked or required to engage in post-appraisal consultation with client or third parties except under separate and special arrangements made a reasonable time in advance and at an additional fee for time and expenses.
5. The client shall notify the appraiser of any error, omission, or invalid data herein within 10 days of receipt and return the report, along with all copies, to the appraiser for corrections prior to any use whatsoever.
6. 7.

deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code Section 50286.
This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half (12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster. c.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Colonial Revival
The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Wilson House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District.
Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is also listed in the California Register. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as representative of the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the Wilson House has been categorized as Key for its distinctive architectural style and quality, as a representative example of the Colonial Revival style of the early 1920s (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) This two-story Colonial Revival house features a clipped, side-gabled roof with cornice returns and a plain frieze. A similarly styled offset front porch is attached to the eastern two-thirds of the primary (south) elevation. Exteriors are sheathed in narrow clapboard with a belt course dividing the two floors. Tripartite windows consisting of fixed center panes flanked by double-hung sash are located east and west of the central entrance. Other windows vary between double-hung sash and casements, arranged in singles or pairs, and are divided by vertical and horizontal muntins in the Craftsman manner. Tuscan columns resting on a concrete porch floor support the projecting front-gabled porch roof. Concrete steps with non-original wrought iron railings lead to the porch entrance where a screen door has been placed in front of a wood door with three center lights. A painted exterior brick chimney pierces the roof edge on the west elevation. Secondary elevations contain smaller, double-hung windows. In 1947 an addition was constructed, perhaps at the rear. Other than the railings, the house appears original and in good condition.

It is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to previous research, the original owners were Roscoe and Grace Wilson, who also developed houses at 1227 and 1229 North French Street at around the same time. The Wilsons resided in this house until at least 1947. Mr. Wilson was president of the Santa Ana Preserving Company on Fruit Street before founding The Wilson Company, a manufacturer of perfumes and toiletries also located on Fruit Street. He continued with The Wilson Company into the 1940s (Marsh, 1998). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. In 1877, Spurgeon, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, formed the Western Development Company with the intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad from its then terminus in Anaheim into Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 160 acres adjacent to the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they were successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on Fruit Street in Santa Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of Santa Ana East never materialized. Early growth and development of the town continued to be centered further west around Fourth and Main Streets, with the result that the legacy of Santa Ana East is an angled street plan whose intersection with the original city is marked by a small, triangular parcel, developed in the 1890s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Santa Ana continued to grow, stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange.
Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth century, the area around the park began to be developed with many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along the tree-lined streets. By the 1920s, most streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled single family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a Whos Who of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors, businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others active in the civic and social life of the city.
Once known as the Nob Hill of Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The Wilson House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as an intact and representative example of a Colonial Revival residence from the early 1920s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as Key for its distinctive architectural style and quality. Characteristic Colonial Revival features include the clipped, side-gabled roof (also known as a jerkinhead roof), boxed cornices, broad front-gabled porch with Tuscan supports, and exterior brick chimney . Character-defining exterior features of the Wilson House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration; massing; windows; porch; and architectural details such as boxed cornices and Tuscan columns.

Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material, and such design is compatible with City Council 12 – 16 9/16/2025

The Wilson House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District.
Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is also listed in the California Register. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as representative of the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the Wilson House has been categorized as “Key” for its “distinctive architectural style and quality,” as a representative example of the Colonial Revival style of the early 1920s (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) This two-story Colonial Revival house features a clipped, side-gabled roof with cornice returns and a plain frieze. A similarly styled offset front porch is attached to the eastern two-thirds of the primary (south) elevation. Exteriors are sheathed in narrow clapboard with a belt course dividing the two floors. Tripartite windows consisting of fixed center panes flanked by double-hung sash are located east and west of the central entrance. Other windows vary between double-hung sash and casements, arranged in singles or pairs, and are divided by vertical and horizontal muntins in the Craftsman manner. Tuscan columns resting on a concrete porch floor support the projecting front-gabled porch roof. Concrete steps with non-original wrought iron railings lead to the porch entrance where a screen door has been placed in front of a wood door with three center lights. A painted exterior brick chimney pierces the roof edge on the west elevation. Secondary elevations contain smaller, double-hung windows. In 1947 an addition was constructed, perhaps at the rear. Other than the railings, the house appears original and in good condition.

It is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to previous research, the original owners were Roscoe and Grace Wilson, who also developed houses at 1227 and 1229 North French Street at around the same time. The Wilsons resided in this house until at least 1947. Mr. Wilson was president of the Santa Ana Preserving Company on Fruit Street before founding The Wilson Company, a manufacturer of perfumes and toiletries also located on Fruit Street. He continued with The Wilson Company into the 1940s (Marsh, 1998). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. In 1877, Spurgeon, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, formed the Western Development Company with the intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad from its then terminus in Anaheim into Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 160 acres adjacent to the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they were successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on Fruit Street in Santa Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of “Santa Ana East” never materialized. Early growth and development of the town continued to be centered further west around Fourth and Main Streets, with the result that the legacy of Santa Ana East is an angled street plan whose intersection with the original city is marked by a small, triangular parcel, developed in the 1890s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Santa Ana continued to grow, stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange.
Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth century, the area around the park began to be developed with many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along the tree-lined streets. By the 1920s, most streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled single family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a “Who’s Who” of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors, businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others active in the civic and social life of the city.
Once known as the “Nob Hill” of Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The Wilson House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as an intact and representative example of a Colonial Revival residence from the early 1920s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” for its distinctive architectural style and quality. Characteristic Colonial Revival features include the clipped, side-gabled roof (also known as a “jerkinhead roof”), boxed cornices, broad front-gabled porch with Tuscan supports, and exterior brick chimney . Character-defining exterior features of the Wilson House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration; massing; windows; porch; and architectural details such as boxed cornices and Tuscan columns.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material, and such design is compatible with City Council 12 – 23 9/16/2025

Topic: HPPA No. 2025-02 – The Wilson House (305 E. Washington Avenue)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Daniel Phan Nguyen, Trustee to The 305 E. Washington Ave Grantor Trust, for the property located at 305 E.
Washington Avenue, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Daniel Phan Nguyen is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 305 E. Washington Avenue that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and is categorized as Key.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Wilson House, consists of an existing two-story Colonial Revival style residence that is approximately 2,117 square feet in size on a 6,431-squarefoot residential lot. The Wilson House was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2002 and categorized as “Key.” Analysis of the Issues
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements, for eligible properties. The property is listed on the Register and categorized as Key, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement City Council 12 – 26 9/16/2025
HPPA No. 2025-02 – The Wilson House (305 E. Washington Avenue) July 9, 2025
generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:
• Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property In 2002, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Wilson House on the Register and within the “Key” category for its distinctive architectural style and quality as an intact and representative example of a Colonial Revival residence from the early 1920s.
Character-defining exterior features of the Wilson House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration; massing; windows; porch; and architectural details such as boxed cornices and Tuscan columns.
In 1933, a permit was issued to rebuild the chimney. In 1947, a permit was issued for a 3-foot-6-inch by 9-foot addition. During the 2025 site visit, staff noted the existing chimney and what could have been the 1947 addition at the rear, both of which are consistent with the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. In 2010, a permit was finaled for a composition shingle reroof and was noted during the 2025 staff site visit.
Additionally, during the 2025 site visit, staff noted cracked paving at the front walkway, porch foundation, porch steps, porch floor, and building foundation. Staff will work with the property owner to address these concerns as part of the rehabilitation and restoration requirements during the duration of the Mills Act Agreement for this property. Additional future improvements proposed by staff and agreed to by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include interior porch roof repair, repair or replace side yard fence, wood siding and wood window maintenance and repair, exterior repainting with period-appropriate color palette, security lighting replacement with compatible style lighting, replace metal handrail and guardrails at property’s rear with compatibly designed replacements, and general on-going maintenance. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be performed sensitively and will maintain the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and approval by staff. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code Section 50286.
This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half (12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Colonial Revival
The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Wilson House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District.
Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is also listed in the California Register. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as representative of the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the Wilson House has been categorized as Key for its distinctive architectural style and quality, as a representative example of the Colonial Revival style of the early 1920s (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

This two-story Colonial Revival house features a clipped, side-gabled roof with cornice returns and a plain frieze. A similarly styled offset front porch is attached to the eastern two-thirds of the primary (south) elevation. Exteriors are sheathed in narrow clapboard with a belt course dividing the two floors. Tripartite windows consisting of fixed center panes flanked by double-hung sash are located east and west of the central entrance. Other windows vary between double-hung sash and casements, arranged in singles or pairs, and are divided by vertical and horizontal muntins in the Craftsman manner. Tuscan columns resting on a concrete porch floor support the projecting front-gabled porch roof. Concrete steps with non-original wrought iron railings lead to the porch entrance where a screen door has been placed in front of a wood door with three center lights. A painted exterior brick chimney pierces the roof edge on the west elevation. Secondary elevations contain smaller, double-hung windows. In 1947 an addition was constructed, perhaps at the rear. Other than the railings, the house appears original and in good condition.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. In 1877, Spurgeon, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, formed the Western Development Company with the intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad from its then terminus in Anaheim into Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 160 acres adjacent to the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they were successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on Fruit Street in Santa Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of Santa Ana East never materialized. Early growth and development of the town continued to be centered further west around Fourth and Main Streets, with the result that the legacy of Santa Ana East is an angled street plan whose intersection with the original city is marked by a small, triangular parcel, developed in the 1890s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Santa Ana continued to grow, stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange.
Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth century, the area around the park began to be developed with many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along the tree-lined streets. By the 1920s, most streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled single family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a Whos Who of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors, businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others active in the civic and social life of the city.
Once known as the Nob Hill of Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The Wilson House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as an intact and representative example of a Colonial Revival residence from the early 1920s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as Key for its distinctive architectural style and quality. Characteristic Colonial Revival features include the clipped, side-gabled roof (also known as a jerkinhead roof), boxed cornices, broad front-gabled porch with Tuscan supports, and exterior brick chimney . Character-defining exterior features of the Wilson House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration; massing; windows; porch; and architectural details such as boxed cornices and Tuscan columns.

Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.

In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
The Wilson House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as an intact and representative example of a Colonial Revival residence from the early 1920s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” for its distinctive architectural style and quality. Characteristic Colonial Revival features include the clipped, side-gabled roof (also known as a “jerkinhead roof”), boxed cornices, broad front-gabled porch with Tuscan supports, and exterior brick chimney . Character-defining exterior features of the Wilson House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration; massing; windows; porch; and architectural details such as boxed cornices and Tuscan columns.

Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 9, 2025
Topic: HPPA No. 2025-05 – The Borchard House (1617 E. Fourth Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Vincent F. Sarmiento and Eva Casas-Sarmiento, for the property located at 1617 E. Fourth Street, subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Vincent F. Sarmiento and Eva Casas-Sarmiento are requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 1617 E. Fourth Street that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and is categorized as Landmark.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Borchard House, consists of an existing two-story Spanish Colonial Revival-style residence and secondary building that are a combined 4,606 square feet in size located on a 26,500-square-foot residential lot. The Borchard House was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2004 and categorized as “Landmark,” as recorded in Historical Resources Commission meeting minutes dated March 4, 2004 and pertaining to Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2003-02 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2003-02 (Exhibit 4).
Analysis of the Issues
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements, for eligible properties. The property is listed on the Register and categorized as Key, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for City Council 12 – 75 9/16/2025
HPPA No. 2025-05 – The Borchard House (1617 E. Fourth Street) July 9, 2025
the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:
• Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property In 2004, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Borchard House on the Register and within the “Landmark” category as the work of renowned Santa Ana Architect Frederick Eley and for its unique architectural quality as a highly intact and finely detailed example of Eley’s interpretation of the Spanish Colonial Revival style applied to a large residential commission. All original exterior features of the Borchard House are characterdefining and should be preserved including, but not be limited to: materials and finishes; roof configuration, materials, and detailing; massing; entry configuration and detailing; porte cochere; windows, doors, and balconies; architectural details such as columns; corbels, archivolt, and wrought ironwork; garage/guest house; and original landscape features such as the pergola, driveway, palm trees and other mature trees.
In 2004, building permits were issued for the repair of fire-damaged rafters, joists, and tiles. No other exterior alterations were documented in City building permits or observed during the site inspection conducted in 2025.
Additionally, during the 2025 site visit, Planning Division staff noted cracked paving at the front and rear walkways, porch steps, porch floor, porch alcove walls, and stucco siding at several locations. In addition, peeling, cracked, blistered, and/or discolored paint was observed in several locations, including the exterior walls, fascia, and window frames and sashes of the primary and secondary buildings were observed. Finally, Planning Division staff noted the water heater at the rear of the secondary building was not situated in a permanent enclosure. Planning Division staff will work with the property owner to address these items as part of the rehabilitation and restoration requirements during the duration of the Mills Act Agreement for this property. Additional future improvements proposed by Planning Division staff and agreed to by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include repair of porch steps, floor, and walls; repair, repainting, and/or replacement of rain gutters, fascia, and windows; repair of cracks in concrete walkways and similar paved surfaces; repair and repainting of exterior wall stucco; and construction of a permanent, stucco-clad enclosure for the water heater located at the rear of the secondary building. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be performed sensitively and will maintain the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.
City Council 12 – 76 9/16/2025
HPPA No. 2025-05 – The Borchard House (1617 E. Fourth Street) July 9, 2025
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and approval by staff. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2025-50, will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,545.57 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

AGENDA TITLE
First Amendment to Agreement with California Forensic Medical Group, Inc. and Wellpath (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the agreement with California Forensic Medical Group, Inc. and Wellpath to continue to provide heath care services to inmates and detainees housed at the Santa Ana Jail and exercise the first one-year renewal option to extend the term through September 30, 2026 in an annual amount of $3,523,310 and an additional $250,000 for emergency services as necessary and at the City’s sole discretion, for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $13,843,556 (Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
California’s Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) requires agencies to provide basic and emergency health care services for all incarcerated individuals held within their custody. Current City initiatives addressing quality of life and public nuisances have necessitated an elevated level of care for short-term arrestees.
On September 20, 2022, the City Council approved a three-year agreement with California Forensic Medical Group, Inc. and Wellpath (CFMG) to provide these services at the Santa Ana Jail after a competitive request for proposals process. CFMG’s services include direct patient care, a sick call program, health assessments, administration of medications, on-site dental services, and mental health care.
Throughout the past three years, as the City’s enforcement activity placed greater emphasis on quality-of-life issues and public nuisances, medical staffing levels have been adjusted to address the increased workload and associated medical concerns while ensuring an appropriate standard of initial care. Additionally, the rise in overall City Council 13 – 1 9/16/2025
Inmate Health Care Services
September 16, 2025
arrests during this period further necessitated enhancements to medical staffing to maintain timely and effective services. CFMG has proven reliable and flexible in the face of changing patient needs.
During the initial term of this agreement, CFMG has provided exceptional service to the City. Therefore, the department recommends exercising the first one-year extension option to renew this agreement from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 in an annual amount of $3,523,310. The total not-to-exceed amount for this agreement will increase to $13,843,556 and includes an additional $250,000 for emergency or other necessary services provided by CFMG at the City’s sole discretion during the term of the agreement.

AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC for Inmate Food and Commissary Services (Specification No. 25-038) (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC to provide inmate food and commissary services in an amount not to exceed $5,070,842 for a three-year term beginning October 1, 2025 and expiring September 30, 2028, with provisions for two (2), one (1) year renewal options, and authorize use of a “pass-through” account enabling payments to Aramark Correctional Services, LLC from the incarcerated person trust account for commissary purchases with no fiscal impact to City funds (Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
California’s Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) requires agencies to provide food services for all incarcerated individuals held within their custody. The Santa Ana Police Department currently has an agreement with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC that would have expired at the end of Fiscal Year 2024-25. On June 17, 2025, City Council approved an amendment to extend the term for an additional three months through September 30, 2025 to allow continuity of services and sufficient time to select a vendor and negotiate a new agreement.
Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-038 was issued on March 17, 2025 on the City’s online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows:
81 Vendors notified
14 Santa Ana vendors notified

Inmate Food and Commissary Services
September 16, 2025
3 Bids received
0 Bids received from Santa Ana vendors
Proposals were solicited, opened on April 22, 2025, and evaluated. Three proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline and all were determined to be responsive to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals according to the criteria listed in the RFP.
Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest ranked firm, Aramark Correctional Services, LLC (Aramark). Aramark has been a provider of inmate food services at the Santa Ana Jail since 1997 and has continued to perform these services in a professional and competent manner. As specified in the agreement, Aramark will prepare nutritious meals consistent with American Correctional Association standards, BSCC Title 15 regulations, and Orange County Health Department requirements.
Specialized diets (medical, religious, and gluten-free) will be provided at no additional cost, with oversight by the Jail’s Operation Manager and contracted medical provider.
Aramark will operate the inmate commissary program, offering a wide range of approved products including food, hygiene, stationery, and clothing items, while also administering specialized commissary programs that expand incarcerated persons’ access to supplemental food and personal items. Commissions generated from these sales are deposited into the Inmate Welfare Fund, which supports purchases that enhance safety and security, as well as fund programs and services for incarcerated persons, reducing reliance on the City’s General Fund. The programs offered to inmates include:
• Fresh Favorites - Provides incarcerated persons the opportunity to purchase freshly prepared food items beyond the standard menu, offering access to homestyle meals prepared by Aramark; • iCare Fresh - Allows family members to conveniently purchase meals online, which Aramark then prepares and delivers to the incarcerated person; • Go-Cart - A supplementary commissary tool that enables incarcerated persons to purchase select snack and convenience items later in the week, beyond the standard once-a-week commissary order.
Aramark will also continue to operate the Code-7 Café staff cafeteria located within the Police Administration building and utilize on-site storage facilities. Aramark will pay the City $30,000 in annual rental fees for the Code-7 Café space and $24,000 in annual fees for use of the storage facilities. The agreement contains provisions for annual price adjustments tied to Consumer Price Index, Food Away From Home Index, and a “Market Basket of Products” methodology, ensuring alignment with national food cost trends.

Each Menu Category will be ascribed a percentage (the “Category Weighting”) representing the proportion of the Client Menu that such Menu Category approximately represents based on purchasing levels during the Base Period. Each Category Weighting will then be multiplied by the percentage change in the corresponding Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”) category compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor and published at www.bls.gov for the Base Period, and the results of each such calculation will be
City Council 14 – 11 9/16/2025

If the parties do not agree on such a modification, Aramark shall have the right to terminate the Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice. The Market Basket of Products is designed to approximate price adjustments with product cost increases at the facility or facilities covered by this Agreement. The Market Basket of Products is an estimate of food costs only and actual costs may vary.

DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department routinely encounters the need to have vehicles towed or stored for a variety of reasons and depends upon private sector partners skilled in the area of towing operations to accomplish this objective. The City currently contracts with four (4) tow companies to provide necessary towing services on a rotational basis. Towing services may include, but are not limited to, towing vehicles from public or private property at the direction of Police employees, owner’s request for a tow made via the Police Department, the storage of vehicles, the secure storage of vehicles containing evidentiary value, debris clean-up and removal, recovery services, and administrative oversight of vehicles in the custody of the contractor.
On August 17, 2021, the City Council approved agreements with four (4) tow companies to provide towing and storage services upon selection from a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The original agreements covered an initial three-year term through August 31, 2024. On May 1, 2023, the first amendment to the agreement was executed to allow for a two percent increase of the towing rate as authorized under the agreement. On August 6, 2024, the City Council approved the second amendment to City Council 15 – 1 9/16/2025
