as we gather for the annual State of the City luncheon, I’m pleased to pro- vide updates to the business community on the accomplishments made
by the City of Santa Ana during the past year, and on our efforts toward future projects.
Like other cities, Santa Ana is still struggling to survive budgetary shortfalls in funding for education, public safety and infrastructure. We have found ways to tighten our belts while continuing to provide the essential services our residents and businesses deserve. While this is still an ongoing challenge, we believe the future holds better days as the regional economy continues to improve.
By forming strategic partnerships and collaborative efforts with the private sector, the City is supporting free enterprise and utilizing the resources of the business community. We have partnered with the Greater Santa Ana Business Alliance, the Santa Ana Unified School District, the Rancho Santiago Communi-ty College District, and many other organizations to promote economic growth. We are also working to promote “green” projects that reduce our energy depen-dence. I’m convinced these moves will lead to a stronger Santa Ana.
I’m appreciative of the community leaders, non-profit organizations, and neigh-borhood associations that support the city with their volunteerism. Together, we are all making a difference in meeting the needs of students, workers, busi-nesses and residents.
This Community Guide serves as a year-round resource for the business com-munity and for those moving into our city. I thank the advertisers in this publi-cation and the sponsors of today’s event, who make it possible for us to gather each year.
As we continue working together in this new decade, Santa Ana will become the pride of Orange County.
Miguel A. PulidoMayor, City of Santa Ana
m a y o r ’ s m e s s a g e
about the mayor
First elected to the Santa Ana City
Council in 1986, Mayor Miguel
Pulido has proven to be a leader,
not only within the community, but
regionally and nationally. Mayor
Pulido has focused his efforts on
improving the quality of life for all
Santa Ana residents. During his term
of office, the City of Santa Ana has
benefited from a tremendous growth
in economic opportunities. Mayor
Pulido has also taken a lead role in
facilitating business opportunities
in the global economy. He formed
the Mayor’s Task Force on Arts and
Culture, which has been instrumen-
tal in the development of the Artists
Village in downtown Santa Ana .
Placing an emphasis on education,
Mayor Pulido brought in California
State University Fullerton’s gradu-
ate arts program and facilitated the
relocation of the Orange County
High School of the Arts into Santa
Ana. He led the City’s effort to locate
the Discovery Science Center in the
City’s Museum District and worked
aggressively on the $10 million Bow-
ers Museum expansion. During the
Mayor’s tenure, 60 neighborhood
associations have been formed to re-
flect a strong community presence.
The partnerships that Mayor Pulido
has fostered between business and
neighborhood leaders and City Hall
have resulted in broader participa-
tion in government issues.

HISTORY
Don Gaspár de Portolá, a Spanish
expedition party leader, discovered a
picturesque valley and river in Southern
California, which he christened Santa
Ana, in honor of Saint Anne, on July
26, 1769. José Antonio Yorba, a youth-
ful expedition soldier, and his nephew
Juan Peralta, were given a Spanish
land grant for the area. They developed
the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana for
cattle grazing and productive farm-
land. In 1869, William H. Spurgeon
purchased 70 acres from the Yorba
family and plotted a townsite. The new
town was given the name Santa Ana.
In 1886, Santa Ana was incorporated
as a city. Orange County was separated
from Los Angeles in 1889, and Santa
Ana was designated the County Seat.
Santa Ana is the financial and govern-
mental center of Orange County and a
major city in the state.
a b o u t s a n t a a n a

The City of Santa Ana was incorporated on June 1, 1886. A City Charter was adopted in 1952, which established a Council/Manager form of Government. A Council consisting of six Council members and a directly elected Mayor governs the City. Council candidates are nominated from wards, but elected by voters from the entire city. Council members are elected to four-year terms and the mayor is elected every two years. The City Council meets in Council Chambers in regular sessions the first and third Mondays of each month at 6:00 pm, or the following Tuesday if Monday is a holiday. Meetings are televised on CTV3 Time Warner Cable.

1. The Bowers Museum of Cultural Art is a nationally celebrated institu-tion of art and culture dedicated to the preservation, study and exhibition of the fine arts of indigenous peoples. Their guiding philosophy is that learning about peoples through their arts will lead us to a greater understanding of ourselves and a fuller appreciation of the marvel-ous diversity of the world in which we live. With more than 85,000 objects in its collections, focusing on the artworks of pre-Columbian, Oceanic, Native American, African and the Pacific Rim cultures, the collections are irreplaceable windows into civilizations both past and present. The Museum’s location, close to four major freeways and four miles south of Disneyland, makes the Bowers an ideal destination for visitors to Southern California. 714-567-3600
2. Discovery Science Center (DSC), a 59,000-square-foot learning facil-ity designed to spark children’s natural curiosity, is Orange County’s largest nonprofit educational resource. Since opening in December 1998, it has been dedicated to educating young minds, assisting teachers and increasing public understanding and appreciation of science, math and technology through interactive exhibits and programs. It is a community-wide resource where families come together to learn and have fun. The County’s residents and school districts are served by this educational resource. Discovery Science Center now receives over 450,000 guests each year. 714-542-2823
3. The John Wayne Statue is located on the arrival level in the center of the John Wayne Airport terminal and rests atop a pedestal covered in the same marble that graces the entire facility. Designed in two tiers to allow visitors to touch the statue, the pedestal provides a fitting home for one of the nation’s most loved and most remembered patriots. In 1979, the Orange County Board of Supervisors renamed Orange County Airport as John Wayne Airport. The John Wayne As-sociates commissioned sculptor Robert Summers to create a bronze statue of “the Duke” in commemoration of the late actor and true American patriot. John Wayne was “a man of humility, of hon-esty, and a hero of the American West who was a symbol to the world of tradi-tional American values.” The nine-foot statue was dedicated to the County in November, 1982 and placed outside, in front of the Eddie Martin Terminal. After the Thomas F. Riley Terminal was built, the refinished and restored statue was placed in the lobby of the new terminal. 949-252-5200

Livability is the watchword of pride for 63 active associations represent-ing neighborhoods with homes that span the past 115 years! As a result, people know their neighbors and take an active role in issues that improve their quality of life. In Santa Ana, “over the back yard fence” and “town hall” forms of networking ensure that residents’ voices are often heard all the way to City Hall. They truly make a difference in the decision-making process. Throughout the year, you’ll experience a host of neighborhood events and activities, including home tours, garden shows, concerts, and art exhibits, all in the context of neighborhood fun and pride.
In Santa Ana, residential neighborhoods range from custom-built homes to older historic treasures to more contemporary tract developments. In many areas, an abundance of large yards and mature trees are a reflection of times past. In others, the emergence of live/work artists’ lofts are breathing new life into the meaning of downtown urban living.

College District’s (RSCCD) Digital Media Center (DMC) that opened
in September 2006 is the first facility of its kind in Orange County combining education and business in the digital media industry. The DMC was created to stimulate economic growth in Orange County by attracting emerging businesses to the area and providing educational programs in digital media arts, TV/video communication, digital music and business seminars.
The 28,000-square-foot DMC also features a business incubator program dedicated to the emerging digital media industry in the Orange County area.The $13.5 million project was made possible through a collaborative effort among the RSCCD, Santa Ana College, the City of Santa Ana, U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration and the WRJ Group.
Facility
The DMC features a spacious, two-story welcome center; production facilities that serve as the home of the Santa Ana College TV/Video department and SAC-TV; digital media arts and digital music classrooms equipped with smart technology; and a business incubator for emerging digital media businesses. The Department of Commerce provided grant funds to initiate the development of the DMC. The goals of such Department of Commerce projects for the local community are:
• Wealth generation
• Technology transfer/commercialization
• Economic development
• Job creation (continued)
• High value, sustainable employment
• Business-to-business transactions
• Workforce diversification
• Sales and income tax generation
• Economic diversification
• Attraction and retention of businesses
The center now attracts, develops, and provides resources for many digital media businesses.
History
Through a unique alliance, a $1.6 million grant was secured through the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) in 2001.
The DMC was built on 1.2 acres of land donated to RSCCD by the City of Santa Ana for the purpose of hosting the DMC. The center, located on the new Bristol Corridor, complements the downtown Santa Ana Artists’ Village and other community redevelopment initiatives.
The project’s total budget included funds from the EDA grant and the Measure E local bond initiative passed by voters in November 2002.
The state-of-the-art facility was designed by Miami, Florida-based Arquitectonica and the construction was completed by Bernards.
Construction of the facility began in fall 2004 and was completed in late spring 2006. The location is at 1300 South Bristol St. (corner of West Wilshire Ave. and Bristol), Santa Ana, CA 92704.
Classes
The DMC’s TV/Video Department includes a 10,000-square-foot production studio used by student crews each Thursday to videotape the “Around & About Orange County” program in both English & Spanish. Studio cameras and equipment are operated by students under the supervision of faculty members. The skills acquired can then be used after graduation to find employment in the industry. The department also includes edit bays, a sound booth, a green room, and a gear center where students can check out portable video gear for location shoots (a $2500 video camera, for instance, requires just a $50 refundable deposit). Time Warner Cablevision airs the student-produced segments in 23 Orange County cities.
At the opposite end of the building, Digital Media Arts classrooms contain rows and rows of the latest Macintosh computers. A student company calledDMC Designs receives assignments from some of the residents in the business incubator to assist them in developing logos, websites and collateral materials. Students include their work in personal portfolios, and if their designs are used commercially, a donation is made to the department.
Upstairs, the Digital Music Department looks much the same as media arts, except that musical keyboards are connected to each computer workstation. In these classes, students learn to “play” notes and chords into digital language.
Another, smaller department is known as the Public Service Institute, which provides computer skills instruction,
mostly to older county workers and others at an amazing rate of just $5.20 per class.
Business Incubator
The DMC features a RSCCD-hosted, 10,000-square-foot business incubator nurturing digital media companies.
The DMC’s business incubator offers a dynamic workspace for 11 emerging digital media small businesses, accompanied by a wide variety of business support services.
Amenities
As business incubator residents, companies are provided with:
• An executive conference room and meeting rooms
• High-speed network infrastructure, wireless Ethernet, and a centralized server room
• Communication equipment including copier (.05 ea.), scanner, and fax
• Completely furnished office space starting at 121 sq. ft. at an attractive three-year lease rate of just $1.70 per sq. ft.
• A lounge for business incubator companies to network and build business relationships
Services
The business incubator assists start-up digital media companies to grow and
21
succeed by offering specialized business support resources and services. The resident companies benefit from:
• Business consulting covering legal, technology strategy development, strategic marketing, social media strategy, and CPA services.
• Networking opportunities with other entrepreneurial technology businesses.
• Discounted memberships and free access to networking organizations.
• On-site educational classes and seminars to enhance working knowledge of business basics.
• Access to graphic design students to assist with web and promotional designs.
• Monthly CEO Roundtables to increase resident interaction and provide a forum to share experiences and milestones.
• Assistance with investor recruitment by an in-house funding company and an investment bank. A total of $2.3 million in funding has been raised to date.
Gustavo Chamorro, a very capable administrator with a background in workforce development, is serving as director at the Digital Media Center. He reports that two of the business incubator companies have now successfully moved out: True Games Interactive, which moved to Irvine and hired some 40 workers; and subsequently was purchased by India-based UTV, and moved to Texas (25% of UTV is owned by Disney).Also, former DMC Business Incubator resident MaMoCa was acquired by Santa Rosa-based Motion Analysis Corporation.

Opened in 2007, High School Inc. Academies
is a revolutionary partner-ship between the Business Alliance and the Santa Ana UnifiedSchoolDistrictthatprepares students for ca-reers, develops a workforce with higher skills, and helps improve the local economy. This innovative, market–driven educational program is guided by principles that provide students the skills demanded by the local marketplace. In seven academies, learning is
focused on automotive, transportation & logistics; culinary arts; engineering & construction; global business; health care; manufacturing; and new media.
Research studies in local business community workforce demands have helped shape the
educational philosophy and methodologies for classroom instruction, thus producing the best-qualified graduates for local industries.
n The Academies provide concurrentfulfillmentofstategraduation requirements through integrated academic and technical classes, and may receive class credits at local colleges and trade schools. n A council of business lead-ers directs curriculum plan-ningtoincludefieldtripstoindustry facilities, equipment

AFTER 120 YEARS, FIRST AMERICAN CORP.,UNDER FOURTH-GENERATION FAMILY LEADERSHIP,
STILL CALLS SANTA ANA HOME
T he First American Corporation traces its roots all the way back to 1889, when Orange
County—a rural, undeveloped area at the time—split off from the county of Los Angeles. Two firms were opened to handle title matters in the brand-new county. Five years later, C.E. Parker, a local businessman, succeeded in merging the two competitors into a single entity. He was named president of the resulting company—Orange County Title Company—the predecessor to today’s First American Title Insurance Company,
the largest subsidiary of The First American Corporation.
During its first 70 years, the company’s growth paralleled that of Orange County—modest but steady. It earned a reputation for diligence, thoroughness and friendly, personal service. In 1924, it became one of the first abstract companies in California to qualify to issue policies of title insurance.
Donald Parker Kennedy, grandson of the founder, joined the company after finishing law school in 1948. He soon realized that the company (continued)
needed to expand beyond the boundaries of the county in order to flourish. In 1957, the board of directors authorized an expansion plan with the intent of becoming a powerhouse in the Southern California market. However, the decision to provide services where its existing customers had operations soon led the company far beyond California’s borders. In 1963, D.P. Kennedy was named president of the company, taking over for his uncle, George Parker. By this time, the company had changed its name to First American and was operating in four states.
As First American began to grow and title offices were established outside of California’s borders, the company had
its initial public offering on the over-the-counter market in 1964. By 1982, First American Title served every region of the country. In 1993, the company moved its shares onto the prestigious New York Stock Exchange. In May 2000, the company changed its name to The First American Corporation to more accurately reflect the company’s diverse business mix, which includes a number of non-financial services.
Today, C.E. Parker’s great grandson Parker S. Kennedy serves as chairman and CEO at First American. “Orange County was a great place to be, and it still is,” he says. “In the real estate environment, there’s a lot of activity, and even in these down times it’s still a pretty good market. The reason we have stayed in Santa Ana is that it’s a great place for us to be. We’ve always felt appreciated here. My dad and I have always loved being in Santa Ana. In the early 1990s, one of the criteria for where we would build our corporate headquarters was to stay in Santa Ana. We had looked in Irvine and in Tustin, but all things being equal, we wanted to stay in Santa Ana. We’re now one of the bigger corporate complexes in the city.”
“Orange County was a great place to be in the title business—probably the best growth area in the United States in the post-war years. My dad, Donald Kennedy, started running the company in 1957. He was the one who really drove the growth. It was just one office when he took it over; he began to expand to adjacent counties and nearby states, and then jumped to the East Coast. By 1986 we were the largest title insurance company in the country. Now some mergers have pushed us to number two—there’s been a lot of consolidation in our industry.”
A fter subsequent success in Canada, First American developed international
operations around the world. It was the first title insurance provider in Mexico, Korea, and Hong Kong, and has the leading market share in Australia and England. Today, First American continues to explore new international opportunities, as well as work with government officials and community

leaders in developing nations to help these leaders create legislation that protects landowner rights and secures a stronger local economy.
Kennedy is effusive about his company’s home town. “City Manager Dave Ream was instrumental in all of this,” he says. “We know him because both my dad and I were involved in the Bowers Museum with the city. I also knew Dave through the Greater Santa Ana Business Alliance. Of course, we’ve always been happy to be an Alliance member. In all communities, there are institutions that are central to everything that goes on. It might be a church in a rural midwestern community, or an Elks Club in another, or a Rotary Club. In some areas it’s even a golf club, but there are institutions that draw together the business community and become its focal point. In Santa Ana, it’s the Business Alliance.”
Kennedy knows whereof he speaks. His great grandfather was one of a small group of
men who in 1889 started the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, which later became the Santa Ana Chamber, which became the Business Alliance His grandfather Rex Kennedy was chairman of the board at the Chamber, and Parker Kennedy himself was chairman in the mid-1980s.
“If you own real estate, I think you should be active in your community. Companies are giving less now and executives are giving more, because public companies are under so much more scrutiny and pressure than they used to be. But we are still pretty generous; we give to a lot of local charities. When you add it all up, it’s good for the company and for the people involved.
“So we’ve always been active. Santa Ana is such a diverse community and so spread out geographically, with so many
diverse neighborhoods. It’s a remarkable place.
“I definitely would encourage businesses to consider Santa Ana as a home base. For one thing, I think it’s hard for most businesses to be able to justify very expensive office space. While Santa Ana is not the fanciest address in the county, it’s still a plus. Some financial businesses have to have a regional office in Newport Beach. But if you’re manufacturing things, and have people who roll up their sleeves every day and work very hard, it’s better to be in less expensive real estate. Most of the buildings in Santa Ana are very nice, but they’re just not as expensive as elsewhere.
“You also have a great workforce in Santa Ana, if you’re in the manufacturing business. I think we have a good educational system, that produces good workers. And I think the city of Santa
Ana is business friendly. So I would recommend that businesses come to Santa Ana.”
The First American family of companies, many of which command leading market share positions in their respective industries, now operate within five primary business segments, including: title insurance and services, specialty insurance, mortgage information, property information, and risk mitigation and business solutions.
As the nation’s largest provider of business information, First American is now able to use its vast information resources to predict market trends and create solutions that can guide customers’ businesses. By looking at the data for patterns, First American is able to provide customers with long-term solutions that help them to run their businesses more productively and with less risk. First American’s state-of-the-art technology makes this level of service possible with automated processes,
advanced technology, innovative solutions, and a focus on the long-term success of its business units and its customers.
Adding to the success of its title insurance and trust businesses, First American has sought out ways to provide complementary services and products that its customers need. It has incorporated new companies including a home warranty subsidiary, a real estate tax service, a credit reporting company, and a flood certification firm.
Recently, First American announced it is splitting its information solutions and financial services groups into two separate, publicly traded companies. The separation is targeted to close in June. “CoreLogic” will trade under the symbol CLGX. First American Financial Corporation will adopt the FAF ticker symbol for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The group of businesses
that will come to market under the new CoreLogic brand encompasses more than 20 different business lines in the areas of data, analytics and outsourcing services, as well as consumer credit and information companies. CoreLogic is expected to be a $2 billion revenue company with more than 10,000 employees worldwide and be a market leader in the areas of data, analytics and business information services.
So 120 years later, Santa Ana-based First American has become a diversified, international services provider and a Fortune 500® company. Its products now support the major economic events of people’s lives—getting a job, buying or renting a home, purchasing a car, securing a mortgage, and buying or building a business.
And the First American eagle is still an image that makes Santa Ana proud.n
“Santa Ana is such a diverse community and so spread out geographically, with so many diverse neighborhoods.
It’s a remarkable place.”
