REPORTS
Agency Member Rubin read Report No. 90-2 from the
Housing, Relocation and Communications Committee regarding
Trip to Porterville Multi-Family Housing Projects, as
follows:
On August 30, 1990, the Housing, Relocation
and Communications Committee and staff
traveled to Porterville, California, to
re-examine three multi-family housing
projects originally toured by the Committee
on May 10, 1989.

The Committee first toured the Porterville
Hotel. The ground level features the
lobby, the manager's office and a common
area. Located upstairs on the two remaining
levels are the 70 single-room occupancy units.
Average room rates are $150.00 per month.
Communal kitchen facilities are located on
both floors. Refrigerators are provided in
each tenant's room. Private bathrooms are
available in a limited number of units. At
the time of the Committee's visit, the hotel
was 100 percent occupied.
The Committee then toured the Glenwood Hotel.
This hotel has a much smaller lobby area and,
like the Porterville, an on-site manager.
The ground level has available 4,500 square
feet of leasable commercial space. Located
on the two levels above the ground floor are
32 apartment units. A typical unit consists
of one room with a small kitchen area and an
adjacent bathroom. All rooms are fully
furnished. Small common areas are located
in the hallways. At the time of the Committee's
visit, the hotel was 50 percent occupied and
had been open for three (3) months.
The Committee also toured another multi-family
residential project, 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).
Other features of the complex included a
balcony for each unit and a large interior
courtyard. The complex appeared to be
approximately 95 percent occupied.
In conclusion, as a result of this trip, the
Committee was able to examine three distinctly
different and operating multi-family housing
projects. This experience will be beneficial
for evaluation of future projects.
After examining these housing projects, it is
the Committee's recommendation to the Central
District Development Agency that as the
Tegeler Project progresses, design and
maintenance issues relative to quality
interior and exterior design, appropriate
common areas and ongoing maintenance be
incorporated into project specifications.
Upon a motion by Agency Member Rubin, Housing,
Relocation and Communications Committee Report No. 90-2 was
accepted.
Upon a motion by Agency Member Watson, the
mendations of Housing, Relocation and Communications
Committee Report No. 90-2 were implemented.

Agency Member Watson, Chairperson of the
Development Committee read Report No. 90-6 regarding
Banducci/Walker Modifications and Specifications for
Administrator, as follows:
Contract
On Wednesday, August 22, 1990, the City
Council approved the various documents
relating to the Banducci/Walker Exchange
with some minor modifications. The
Development Committee has reviewed those
modifications. As you will note, the
changes are not substantive in nature.
The Joint Escrow Instructions will now
explicitly state that the Exchange
Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement
must be submitted into escrow. Exhibit
"E" and "F" will also explicitly state
that the City Manager will approve all
permitted title exceptions. Lastly, the
City Council, at the recommendation of
the City Manager, prefers the appointment
of the Assistant to the City Manager as
the Interim Contract Administrator. This
preference is in keeping with the original
intent for the position by having someone
act as a Contract Administrator who was
not involved with the negotiation or with
the project's implementation.
Also, Exhibit "G" of the Exchange Agreement
describes the functions to be performed by
the Contract Administrator. The specifica-
tions were developed by the Development
Committee on Tuesday, August 28, 1990.
Approval of the specifications will satisfy
the City Council's request that a permanent
Contract Administrator be appointed prior
to close of escrow.
It is the Development Committee's recommen-
dation that the Banducci/Walker modifications
proposed by the City Council be accepted and
that the CDDA approve the Contract Admin-
istrator's specification.
Upon a motion by Agency Member Watson, Development
Committee Report No. 90-6 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Agency Member Dunn, the recommen-
dations of Development Committee Report No. 90-6 were
implemented.

NEW BUSINESS
Development Committee Interviews with
Hotel Developers on September 12, 1990.
Agency Member Watson, Chairperson of the
Development Committee, read Report No. 90-7 regarding
Interviews with Hotel Developers, held on September 12,
as follows:
1990,
On Wednesday, September 12, 1990, the
Development Committee interviewed four
candidates for the completion of the
Downtown Convention Center Hotel. The
interviews proved to be informative and
useful. However, due to the limited time
available, the Committee was not able to
discuss the proposals and come to a
conclusion. The Development Committee
has set another meeting to review the
proposals in depth. It is the Committee's
expectation that, as a result of this
second meeting, a recommendation will be
made to the full CDDA.
In light of the general interest to move
ahead with this project, the Committee at
this time recommends that a special
meeting of the CDDA be held on Monday,
September 24, 1990. The purpose of such
a meeting would be to consider the recom-
mendation by the Development Committee.
Upon a motion by Agency Member Watson, a special
meeting of the Central District Development Agency was sched-
uled for Monday, September 24, 1990, at 3:00 p.m.
AGENCY STATEMENTS
Chairperson Paynter urged all the Agency Members to
review the Response of the 1989-90 Grand Jury Findings that
are going to be submitted to the City Council on Wednesday,
September 19, 1990.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the
Agency, upon a motion by Agency Member Watson, the meeting
