proceedings, be at least 12,320 square feet in size (equal in size to current evidence
room warehouse); allow for future expansion, and require minimal tenant
improvements for leased property; and
WHEREAS, the City has evaluated several buildings for either lease or
purchase within the immediate area of the Kern County Court buildings for
potential relocation of the Police Department's property evidence warehouse;
WHEREAS, the potential buildings that were evaluated by staff for either lease
or purchase do not offer optimal conditions required for a property evidence
warehouse necessitated by a metropolitan police force of Bakersfield's size; and
WHEREAS, the City owns property on Truxtun Avenue adjacent to SR 99 that
can accommodate a properly sized property evidence warehouse, is within a one
mile radius of Kern County Court buildings, and allows for future expansion; and
