REPORTS
Councilmember McDermott, Chairperson of the Budget and
Finance Committee, read Report No. 8-91 regarding Community
Development Block Grant Application for Fiscal Year 1991-92, as
follows:
The Budget and Finance Committee met on May 1,
1991, to consider the funding requests from
City departments, request for assistance by
non-profit organizations and the CDBG
Application for the Fiscal Year 1991-92. The
FY 1991-92 budget of $1,789,000 is composed
of $1,372,000 in entitlement funds and
$417,000 in program income.
Due to the numerous proposals from City
departments and non-profit agencies and
limited CDBG funding, it was not possible to
fund all requests. Some of the criteria used
for screening departmental proposals included
program eligibility, low/moderate income
qualification, and completion of phased
activities. For non-profit proposals, some of
the screening criteria also used included the
ability to provide site control, matching
funds, and implement the project in a timely
manner.
Bakersfield, California, May 8, 1991 - Page 5
The Budget and Finance Committee has reviewed
the proposals for next year, and we are
recommending that the attached application be
approved for submittal, and that the City
Manager be authorized to execute the
FY 1991-92 CDBG Application and necessary
documents for submittal to HUD.
In addition, the Committee recommends that
staff apprise our Federal legislative
representatives, and HUD officials, that the
City of Bakersfield (The All America City)
would support a legislative change to the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
to allow the use of volunteer labor for
community sponsored public service projects.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Budget
Finance Committee Report No. 9-91 was accepted.

Councilmember Brunni, Chairperson of the Convention
Center and Community Services Committee, read Report No. 4-91
regarding relocating a Continental Basketball Association franchise
to Bakersfield, as follows:
At the April 24, 1991 City Council meeting, a
letter from Mr. David Cortese of the San Jose
Pro Sports, Inc., regarding relocating a
Continental Basketball Association franchise
to Bakersfield was referred to the Convention
Center and Community Services Committee. The
Committee met with staff on April 29, 1991, to
discuss this issue.
In his letter, Mr. Cortese indicated he had
been in contact with the Community Services
Manager to determine the feasibility of
relocating to Bakersfield. After reviewing
our policies and cost structures, he felt it
was possible to come to an agreement. As
such, Mr. Cortese provided us with a proposed
written contract requesting our acceptance.
Staff met with Mr. Cortese and resolved
contractual differences on May 6, 1991. The
Committee met at 4:30 p.m. on May 6th and
received staff's oral report concerning the
status of the contract negotiations but there
had been insufficient time to produce a written
contract.
Bakersfield, California, May 8, 1991 - Page 6
After receiving staff's report, the Committee
heard from Mr. Cortese about his organization.
Subsequently, the Committee requested the staff
to produce a written contract reflecting the
earlier negotiations and obtain the approval
of the City Attorney, Lawrence Lunardini.
Attached is a copy of the proposed contract for
your review and approval.

Cortese, Executive Vice President of San Jose Pro Sports, Inc.,
was recognized and addressed Councilmember McDermott's concerns
about signing a contract for a professional team coming to

corporate name; however, it could probably be changed subsequent to
actually relocating the team, as well as renaming the team itself.
At the request of Councilmember Brunni, Community
Services Manager Andersen made a brief presentation in support of
relocating this basketball team to Bakersfield, and Mr. Cortese
provided some background information regarding the Continental
Basketball Association and its affiliation with the National
Basketball Association. An 8-minute video was then shown providing
additional background information.
Councilmember Brunni asked for the record if the
ownerships of this company and financials have been verified and
reviewed by staff, as suggested by the Committee.
Community Services Manager Andersen responded that some
information has been provided, which was dated, and additional
information has been requested. He advised that Mr. Cortese has
indicated that the information will be provided.
Councilmember Brunni made a motion to approve the
contract subject to that information being reviewed and verified by
staff.
