Bakersfield, California, June 5, 1989 Page 2 Specifically, the Committee was desirous to learn more about two downtown hotel projects presently under the administration of the City of Porterville's Planning Department in addition to a senior citizen apartment complex completed in 1983. The Committee first toured the Porterville Hotel and learned about the City of Porterville's participation in the project (CDBG funds for acquisition, furnishings and relocation), and the State of California's role in the Special User Rehab Loan Program. The developer associated with this project is Daniels C. Logue Co. of Sacramento, California. The Glenwood Hotel was the second project toured by the Committee. This project was started by a private development company but not finished due to financing problems. The developer of the Porterville Hotel will also be completing this project. During the afternoon, the Housing Authority of the County of Tulare took the Committee through the Santa Fe Plaza 134 unit senior citizen housing complex. This project is adjacent to the downtown area and includes a senior citizen activity center (the restored former Santa Fe Railroad Station). In conclusion, the Committee was greatly impressed with the Porterville projects and intends to invite representatives of the Daniels C. Logue Development and Construction Company to Bakersfield to evaluate potential projects in our downtown area. In this regard, the Committee will report back to the Agency with a future report on these discussions. Agency Member Rubin amended the report to include the following: "in addition to inviting the representatives of the Daniels C. Louge Development and Construction Company, but also those other developers in the Kern County area who might have expertise in hotel reconstruction to offer their thoughts to the committee." Agency Member Araujo stated her opposition to inviting outsiders to Bakersfield because there has been many interested realtors trying to market downtown. She feels it would be a courtesy to Bakersfield realtors to defer the adoption of a resolution.
