PROJECTS
a) California Republic Bank Project - On recommendation by Mr. Hoagland,
no action was taken on items relating to this project. Mr. Haynes reported no bids
were received by the 11 a.m. deadline today on the $775,O00 Agency notes issued
for this project; however, he did report receiving a late bid, and advised con-
tinuance of this meeting until tomorrow to allow Agency's counsel in Los Angeles
to determine whether to accept the late bid or re-advertise for new bids.
Following discussion, on motion by Dr. Puder, seconded by Mr. Mooneyham,
and carried, the Agency approved recessing this meeting at the end of today's
session, and continuing the meeting at 4 p.m. tomorrow for the purpose of obtaining
legal opinion on the late bid.
Dr. Puder moved to authorize the Secretary to re-advertise at the earliest
possible moment. Mr. Mooneyham seconded the motion, which carried·
Mr. King requested that the Minutes of the meeting reflect that he
refrained from participation in the business of this project on account of his
interest with the bank involved.
b) Hotel Project - The following two actions were taken to set a date for
a Joint Public Hearing with the City Council on the Hotel Project:
Following discussion, Mr. Lewis moved to adopt RA8-77, "A RESOLUTION OF
THE BAKERSFIELD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CALLING FOR A JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
ON THE INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY OF A PROPOSED HOTEL; LEASE OF CERTAIN
PROPERTY; APPROVING SUCH LEASE; THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DATE THEREFOR;
AND PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARING." The motion was
seconded by Mr. Mooneyham, and adopted by the following roll call vote:

NOES:

Foth and Poehner
Mr. King moved the Agency request the City Council set the same date,
December 21, 7 p.m. in the City Council Chamber for a Joint Public
Hearing on the Hotel Project. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lewis, and
carried.
c) Hall Ambulance Request - Mr. Foster reviewed Mr. Harvey Hall's request
(Letter dated October 20, 1977) for "...your bearing the the cost of the new water
llne to my site, since it is one of your requirements." This new water line is
needed, according the the California Water Service Company, at a cost of approxi-
mately $10,0OO, to provide a sprinkler system for the new building, which is an
Agency requirementfor new buildings within the Downtown Redevelopment Project area.
A discussion followed regarding alternatives; the amount of money this
could eventually cost the Agency, the fact that this expense is covered by the
Agency in the larger projects entered into by agreements; and the setting of a
precedent by paying, as opposed to not paying and thereby setting a precedent of
not supporting the small businessmand in his effort to abide by Agency requirements.
Mr. King stated that regardless of the fact that it will set a precedent,
he believed a precedent should be set, and therefore moved the Agency go ahead and
provide the water main to Mr. Hall's new building. The motion was seconded by
Dr. Puder, and carried.
GENERAL
Mr. Casper reviewed the upcoming meeting dates for the Agency as
follows:
1. Continuation of this meeting tomorrow at 4 p.m.
2. Joint Public Hearing if City Council approves, December 21, 1977, at

Following discussion, on motion by Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Mooneyham,
and carried, the Regular December Meeting scheduled for December 27th
was cancelled, thereby making the next Regular Meeting date January 24,
1977.
