Bakersfield taco grill to open in OTR � Developing Now http://cincinnati.com/blogs/developingnow/: Bakersfield taco grill to open in OTR 3:56 pm, Apr 19, 2011 � Written by Ibaverman � 27 Comments Named after a California town known in the 1950s for honky-tonk bars and country western music, Bakersfield will be the next restaurant to join the Vne Street lineup in Over-the-Rhine. Brothers Joe and John Lanni, founders of the Currito burrito chain, are the men behind the bar and grill concept. They plan to open in 1,700 square feet next to Lavomatic Cafe in October. The space was previously occupied by the retailer Metronation, and was used during the 2010 holiday season for pop-up retail shops. The Lannis hope to bring an affordable option to the corridor of restaurants between Central Parkway and 15th Street, an area known as the Gateway Quarter. They'll offer a menu of tacos, burritos and other Mexican-inspired street food, as well as a full bar. And the vibe of the bar and grill will be distinctly Bakersfield, they say. It was the musical movement calfed Bakersfield Sound that launched the careers of country music legends like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. "It had a rebel, outlaw feel to it," says Joe Lanni. "We'll have a cool, modern space with that same feel." The Lannis haven't set hours of operation just yet. But they hope to become a quick spot for neighbors or theater-goers to grab a bite to eat. They'll join a mix of restaurants that include Lavomatic and Senate, which are already opened; A Tavola Pizzeria and the Abigail Street wine bar and Mediterranean restaurant, opening in May and June; and Taste of Belgium, opening in July. Of about 40 available commercial spaces between Central Parkway and 15th Street, 24 spaces will be occupied when Bakersfield opens, says Christy Samad, spokeswoman for Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation. The development group has also filled all 52 available apartments and 75 percent of the 179 condos along Vne Street. "We're looking forward to having a new type of cuisine in the neighborhood and at a lower price point," Samad says. Adds Lanni: "There is good movement down there right now. We're very interested in seeing downtown and OTR thrive."

History/Back_ rc� ound The City of Bakersfield is a leader in privatization efforts. Here are some of � are currently privatized: • Management/Operation by SMG of the Arena, Convention Cent Center and Bright House Networks Amphitheater. • Operation of our domestic water system through a contract with C< Service. • Approximately 55% of our sanitation collection and recycling efforts through a contract with Kern Refuse Disposal, Inc. • Screening for litter in greenwaste is contracted for through the Home Honorable Mayor Privati: o Sports Viilage soccer complex: Contract with AYSO for field concessions and program. o Mesa Marin Softball complex: ■ Field maintenance by contract with a private firm. ■ Concessions by contract with a private firm. • Tree trimming contract with Stay Green Industries that supplements who maintain trees. • Towing, by contract with 10 separate towing firms. • Janitorial services for City Hall North and the Amtrak Station. • Sale of surplus equipment through a contract with an auctioneer. • Bad debt collection, by contract. • Authorship of Environmental Impact Reports, by contract. • Most information technology programming and system maintenance, • Public Works: o Fleet Services: Towing, upholstery, transmission overhauls, rac major body work, alignments, major engine repairs. o Construction-Survey Division: Inspection/Material Testing (soils, etc.) o Design Engineering: Annual On-Call Design Consultant Contrac� o Subdivisions: Plan Check through local consultants. o Wastewater: Farm lease for the 8.5 square mile City Farm. • Litigation: Two contracts for defense work, Workers' Compensatic contracts, as well. Honorable Mayor Privati Privatization Efforts that Failed • Landscape maintenance districts. • Management of the Multi-Purpose building at Saunders Park. • Operation of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Joint Powers/Consolidated Services with other Jurisdictions While this was not directly mentioned in the referral, staff believes that as it is an effort to save money and deliver services as efficiently as po� o Fire JPA on station response training and communications cente o Health. o Animal Shelter. o Sewer: Tri-party agreement with East Niles Community ServicE Kern Sanitation Authority. o City/County joint plan for metro Bakersfield. o Habitat conservation plan for the metropolitan area. o Insurance: ■ Liability Insurance pool with Authority for California Cities I (ACCEL). ■ Workers Compensation and Property Insurance pool v State Association of Counties - Excess Insurance Authority o Police: Several regional gang and drug related task forces. o TRIP: Highway and freeway construction. This is a joint partnersr Honorable Mayor Privati Most Likelv Future Services that Miqht be Privatized • New parks that come on line. � Custodial services for new facilities. • More functions of the motor pool. • Street sweeping of expansion areas. Somewhat Less Likely Services that Might be Privatized • Existing park maintenance. • Existing street sweeping operations. • Balance of sanitation collection (not recommended - price increase). • Existing custodial services. • Graffiti removal. • Wastewater Treatment Plant operations. • Parking enforcement. We distinguish growth or expansion items as making more sense than repl services, in part because we are a fairly large organization. Capital costs 1 needs and manpower demands, and related, are more likely to make sens� business to operate on an incremental basis.
