The following are responses to those spe- cific questions: 1. What has been the turnover rate of the CDDA since the changeover occurred in April? There have been two resignations by members of the CDDA as a result of career advancements requiring relocation to other cities. 2. What is the status ot the CDDA budget? There has been no change to the CDDA budget that was approved by the City Council for fis- cal year 1987-88. 3. What are the monies being used for? The monies have been used for those items deli- neated within the budget such as routine oper- ational expenses and the retirement of out- standing debt. The major expenditures, to date, have involved the acquisition of the Hotel site and the acquisition of the City Center site. 4. How was the situation of the Downtown Business Association resolved, or has it been resolved? The Downtown Business Association (DBA) contin- ues to function in the manner prescribed within the ordinance that established it. We have not been advised by the DBA of any continuing prob- lems with its operations or cash flow. The DBA also is continuing a lead role in the develop- ment of the 19th Street Specific Plan. Bakersfield, California, December 16, 1987 Page 3 Is the Clarion Hotel having development prob- lems since its takeover by the CDDA? The development of the Clarion Hotel and Con- vention Center continues to move forward, al- though on a much slower pace than any of us would like. It is a large, complex and expen- sive project with many organizations and agen- cies involved with its construction. The working drawings are currently under review and our Building Division is working aggressively towards resolving the issues that relate to the design of the structure. The site has been acquired and it is essentially ready for deve- lopment. Utilities Rave been relocated and the documentation necessary to turn the site over to the developer has been completed. The remaining site preparation work will be under- way during the week of December 14, 1987. This work will be conducted by Texaco Incorporated at their expense on the old Texaco Bulk Plant site. 6-7. What is the status o~ the City Center Project? Acquisition of the site continues to move for- ward at a rapid pace. The last tenant will be moved during the week of December 14, 1987. We have reached a very satisfactory agreement with Mr. Clyde Trammuel, one of the subject property owners. We anticipate the site will be ready for transfer to the developer shortly after the first of the year. This transfer will include the normal title documents, parcel maps and agreements being placed in escrow resulting in the transfer of title to the developer. The steel for the building frame has arrived. The Grading Plans have been submitted to the Build- ing Department and a final consultation with City Building officials should occur during the week of December 14, 1987, with the construc- tion documents submitted shortly thereafter. It is still envisioned by the developer that the actual structure should be coming out of the ground in March or April, assuming there are no problems with demolition, relocation of utilities or environmental permits. What is the Council's role in condemnation actions? The City Council has the ultimate responsibil- ity in approving any redevelopment project that may require condemnation. All development agreements must be reviewed and approved by the City Council. If that approval by City Council is by a 3/5 majority or greater, the CDDA is empowered to condemn property if necessary to do so. The CDDA has approved Resolutions of Necessity for acquisition of the City Center properties. These actions were based upon the unanimous approval of the City Center Project Development Agreement by the City Council. To date, we have reached a tentative agreement with one property owner, however, the disposi- tion of the second property owner is not resolved at this time. Bakersfield, California, December 16, 1987 - Page 4 I believe a brief comment is in order regarding Councilman Childs' stated desires to bring the responsibility of redevelopment back to the direct control of the Council. After many months of very important debate, the City Council made the decision to place the respon- sibility of directing and implementing the City's Redevelopment efforts into the hands of a highly qualified panel of community leaders. I believe this Council has successfully done that. The CDDA is made up of a good mix of professionals and highly motivated and concerned citizens. Their leadership to date, the encouragement they have provided, and the demands they have placed upon staff, have had a very positive impact on our efforts. This CDDA specialized in redevelopment. They have collectively and individually worked to understand and appreciate the difficulties of our Central City and the efforts to revitalize it. This ability to concentrate 100 percent on redevel- opment has made the decision-making process better and more efficient. Caravalho The City Council remains ultimately responsible for the redevelopment process. My staff and I, and members of the CDDA, are very much aware of this fact. The City Council must approve any develop- ment agreement, as well as the annual budget for the Agency's operations. As you know, based upon tonight's discussion of the CDDA budget, you also approve any amendments or changes to that budget. I believe the decision to delegate implementation of the redevelopment effort to a highly qualified panel of citizens has been a positive move towards a successful redevelopment effort. I would recommend that this effort be given ample opportunity to be a success. Upon a request by Councilmember Childs, City Manager reviewed each issue. City Manager Caravalho gave an oral report on the very successful City Employee Can Tree Project, which brought in 14,040 pounds of food, thanked the Building Industry Association for their donation of canned goods, and Martina Hutchinson and Andrea Britt for their leadership in the project. Mayor Payne presented Martina Hutchinson and Andrea Britt a plaque in commemoration of their work on the Can Tree Project. City Manager Caravalho gave an oral report on damage from the recent wind storm. CONSENT CALENDAR The following items were listed on the Consent Calendar: a.
