PROJECTS 1) PARCEL "C" a) Work Schedule-Wells Fargo Bank Building - Chairman Casper reviewed the work schedule received with Devco's letter of July 10, 1975, both of which had been previously mailed to Agency members. b) Public Hearing - Chairman Casper at this time opened a public hearing on the sale of land (Parcel "C"), and the Disposi- tion and Development Agreement. He asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak for or against the sale of the land. There being none, the public hearing was closed. Chairman Casper then asked for discussion among members of the Agency regarding this land sale. Mr. Breakstone reviewed the proposal for a 6,311 sq. ft. Wells Fargo Bank building on Parcel "C." He noted that with a completion date of January 1, 1976, as projected, the City would realize a greater tax increment payment than if construction continued past March 1st. c) Resolution No. RA10-75 - Mr. Breakstone read a resolu- tion determining an E.I.R. unnecessary for Parcel "C," as the E.I.R. for the Amended Redevelopment Plan Project precludes the necessity of an additional report in the Project area. On motion by Mr. Lee, seconded by Dr. Puder, and carried, Resolution No. RA10-75, "Resolution Finding and Determining that a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report Need Not Be Prepared for the Proposed Sale and Development of Certain Real Property in the Downtown Bakersfield Redevelopment Project," was adopted. -26- MINUTES B~KERSFIELD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY -2- July 22, 1975 d) Resolution No. RAll-75 - Mr. Breakstone read a resolu- tion approving the sale of Parcel "C," and approving the Dispo- sition and Development Agreement.

Mr. Belluomini elaborated on his report on the Medical Centers Planning Program which had been mailed to members of the Agency prior to the meeting. He ex- plained this introductory report was for the purpose of advising what the two task forces (made up of doctors, dentists, and related services) hope to accomplish in the areas around Mercy and San Joaquin Hospitals. Results of the studies will be made available to members upon completion. GENERAL 1) Agenda Distribution - Mr. Foster advised the membership that a single copy of the Agenda will be mailed in the future, with copies of such "bulky" items as a Disposition and Develop- ment Agreement, etc. being mailed separately at the time issued, rather than having these items included in the "packet." This is an effort to cut costs in reproduction and mailing of "packets." 2) Proposed Downtown Shopping Center - At the request of membership, Mr. Breakstone reviewed his latest contact with the John S. Griffith Company regarding progress on this project.
