DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana WORK Center (WORK Center), located at 801 W. Civic Center Dr. Suite 200, provides employment and training services to low income, unemployed, or underemployed residents, as well as supports local businesses with recruiting and retaining skilled employees. These services are in collaboration with partner organizations such as Employment Development Department, Orange County Social Services, Department of Rehabilitation, and SER Jobs for Progress.
On June 6, 2023, the City of Santa Ana (City) entered into a First Amendment to Office Lease agreement with Santa Ana CA I SGF, LLC (Santa Ana, LLC). Under the agreement, the City is responsible for the payment of the monthly rent. Portions of the space are subleased to partner agency organizations and the City’s Rent Stabilization Division and Santa Ana Housing Authority, which reimburse the City for their proportional share of the lease payment.
The appropriation adjustment will align the WORK Center’s Rent Payment budget with the current rental revenues and the City’s anticipated share of lease expenses. This adjustment will allow the City to continue to be current on rental payments to Santa Ana, LLC.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the appropriation adjustment will appropriate $272,580 to the expenditure accounts below. Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented for City Council consideration of carryover to FY 2026-27.
