2.4 SCOPE The GRIP database shall encompass: r The land parcels, major buildings, and users (commercial, industrial, institutional, governmental, residential) located within City of Santa Ana's borders; and. ■ The City's major sources of general fund revenue including, but not limited to, the following: Business License Tax - Franchise Fees - Property Tax (to include secured real and personal property plus unsecured personal property) - Sales/Use Tax - Transient Occupancy Tax - Utility Users Tax The GRIP database has at least one record for each actual/potential revenue generator. MRC defines a revenue generator as any entity that has a physical presence within the City. Such an entity may either partially or completely occupy or own a parcel within the City, or be conducting some business that generates revenue to the City. On average, California cities experience changes in their business mix at the rate of 20% per year due to business openings, closings, expansions, consolidations, relocations, mergers, acquisitions, and other events. For this reason, MRCS analysis includes a current, comprehensive, and valid inventory of all the City's businesses, including address, parcel number(s) and type of business activity. By computerizing this data, MRC creates a cross-indexed, address -based and parcel -based geographic database for all the businesses located in the City. The GRIP database is relational, so it will be able to extract any type of desired input data by merely structuring queries. Because the GRIP database is geo-coded, it is possible to extract information by specifying either address ranges or the map coordinates of any encircling polygon as defined by the City's GIS (Geographic Information System). MRC can link to the City's GIS system through parcel numbers. If this is not possible, MRC can digitize the City's parcels and include the geo-data in our proposed GRIP database for an additional fee.
