Councilmember Smith expressed appreciation to Mr. Dezem-
her and those members of the Charter Review Committee.
Councilmember Salvaggio clarified his vote stating, that
he has no criticism of Ray Dezember, but abstained from voting be-
cause he felt it wasn't too much to ask for a better cross section
on the Charter Review Committee. He also felt the Budget and Fi-
nance Committee could have given Council a report of their meet-
ings to this point, and although he thinks the committee is made
up of a good group of people, he feels the Council could have en-
hanced that selection.
Councilmember Dickerson clarified his vote, stating that
he thinks a lesson should be learned from Mayor Payne, who submit-
ted names in advance for appointment to the Central District De-
velopment Agency in a professional, straight-forward and thorough
fashion. He feels that pattern was not followed in presenting
names for the Charter Review Committee. He voted in favor of
Councilmember Moore's motion because he is more interested in the
spirit of doing something wonderful for our City rather than in
the letter of the law.
Councilmember Christensen clarified his vote, stating
that he is not opposed to Ray Dezember or the excellent selection
of committee members, but the most important point is that the
diversity that has accrued in the last three years by the divisiv-
ness of the Council is the greatest things to happen to Bakers-
field in all the years it has been chartered because it has
brought about a revision of the Charter.
Councilmember Moore expressed his thanks to Mr. Dezember
and the Charter Review Committee members and clarified his vote,
stating that he felt it was extremely important to obtain members
for the Committee through a de-politicized process and not have
the names provided to and worked through by the Council.
Homeless Coalition Task Force Chairman Fred Drew spoke
regarding the crisis of the homeless problem and presented Council
with the Homeless Coalition Task Force Report which concluded with
the following primary recommendations:
I. That the City procure the site at 1400 East Sumner
Street.
2. That the City, with the assistance of the County of
Kern, fund and establish at the site:
A Day Center to provide basic human needs, ser-
vices and to serve as a coordination and clear-
ing house site for the home]ess services;
A night shelter to provide basic overnight
sleeping facilities; and
c. A detoxification center for people who are under
the influence.
Bakersfield, California, August 26, 1987 Page 3
That the City use the request for proposal procedure
to select a private, non-profit organization to man-
age the site.
Since the Task Force opposes the ca~nping out Ordi-
nance and until such time that adequate shelter is
available to those who would otherwise be subject to
arrest, it is recommended that the City not adopt
that Ordinance at this time. The Task Force is in
favor of adopting a Social Service Ordinance using
the Conditional Use Permit process.
That an Advisory Committee be formed I'rom the Task
Force to assist in identifying a lead agency which
would insure continuity in funding and development
of the Homeless Project.
(Council action regarding the Homeless Coalition Task Force can be
found under Item g. of the Consent Calendar, Page 7.)

Carnation Community Improvement League President Jona-

Office. Any statements outside of that capacity do not relate to
the Council itself or the Redevelopment Agency itself.

REPORTS
Councilmember Ratty, Chairman of the Urban Development
Committee, read Urban Development Committee Report No. 21-87 re-
garding Rancho Laborde i~nprovements as follows:
The Reynolds Environmental Group sent a letter
dated June 15, 1987, to the City Manager regarding
the City policy of requiring a 3:1 lien to value
ratio for special assessment improvements. This
letter was referred to the Urban Development
Committee for review.
Bakersfield, California, August 26, 1987 Page 5
Recently a new appraisal was done by Grubb ~ Ellis
for those parcels that will participate in the
bonds for Rancho Laborde improvements. Based on
this appraisal, the new lien to value ratio is bet-
ter than 5½:1. The potential difficulty in issuing
additional bonds caused by the City policy is no
longer a stumbling block and is now moot. Accord-
ingly, no action is required by the City Council.
It is recommended that this report be accepted and
no action taken at this time.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Urban Development
Committee Report No. 21-87 was accepted.
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Budget
Committee, read Budget and Finance Committee Report No.
garding the Baker Street Facade Program as follows:
and Finance
32-87 re-
On August 19, 1987, the Budget and Finance Commit-
tee discussed i~nplementing a facade improvements
program along Baker Street. The program which was
discussed is identical to the facade program which
has been used in the downtown area. This program
would allow for a sharing of costs between the City
and the merchants.
As a result of the Budget and Finance Committee
discussion, it is recommended that $50,000 of
Community Development Block Grant funds be appro-
priated for facade improvements on Baker Street and
that these funds be distributed with the same
guidelines that are being used with the facade pro-
gram in the downtown area.
It is recommended that this report be accepted and
the recommendations contained herein be approved.
Upon a motion by
nance Committee Report No.
tions implemented.
Councilmember Childs, Budget and Fi-
32-87 was accepted and the recommenda-
Councilmember Salvaggio clarified his vote stating that
he supported Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 32-87 because
on February 11, 1987, the Council passed the Baker Street Specific
Plan of which one of the goals was to arrest the spread of visual
blight. With Council's study of the homeless and the Baker Street
Plan, he is pleased that the institution of the Baker Street Fa-
cade Program will be very beneficial to Bakersfield.
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of
Committee, read Budget and Finance Committee
garding the Golden Empire Sports Complex as
the Budget and Finance
Report No. 33-87 re-
follows:
In April of this year, the City's Recreation Divi-
sion requested that the City Council consider the
possible lease or purchase of the Golden Empire
Sports Complex owned by Frank and Marion Collins.
Staff has received an appraisal of the complex and
has also prepared a cash flow analysis to determine
the financial impacts of the City operating the
facility. The staff analysis shows that the com-
plex could be operated from existing funds from
adult softball and the additional revenues gener-
ated by the complex. &n additional $70,000 will
need to be appropriated for the operation of the
complex, but will be offset by increased adult
softball and other miscellaneous revenues of
$70,000 derived from the operation of the complex.
Bakersfield, California, August 26, 1987 - Page 6
It has been determined that it is in the best
interest of the City to enter into a multi-year
lease of the property with an option to purchase
the complex.
Therefore, this Committee recommends that staff
negotiate a multi-year lease for the operation of
the Golden Empire Sports Complex and also an option
to purchase at some later date if feasible. This
Committee also recommends the appropriation of
$70,000 to operate the complex.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and Fi-
nance Committee Report No. 33-87 was accepted and the recommenda-
tions implemented.
(Further action on this Report is continued on Page 9.)
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 34-87 re-
garding removal of Deed Restriction for Bakersfield Courthouse
Racquetball Facility as follows:
This Committee has met with Tim Gannon, operator of
the Courthouse Racquetball Facility, who has re-
quested the reinoval of the deed restriction on the
property he leases from the City in Beach Park.
The deed restriction was imposed by Kern County at
the time the City received Beach Park and restricts
the use of the property to public recreation uses.
Mr. Gannon indicated that the removal of the deed
restriction is necessary to obtain a loan to reno-
vate the facility and make energy saving improve-
ments. Mr. Gannon has indicated that the County of
Kern is willing to remove the deed restriction if
all of the proceeds the City receives from the rac-
quetball facility go to maintain Beach Park and the
removal of the restriction is requested by the City
Council. City staff has indicated that the costs
of maintaining Beach Park far exceed the revenues
gained from the Courthouse and there would not be a
problem dedicating those funds for the maintenance
of Beach Park.
Therefore, in order to allow for financing improve-
ments to the racquetbal! facility, this Committee
recommends the removal of the deed restriction on
the property leased to Mr. Gannon and used for the
Courthouse RacquetbaI1 Facility. This Committee
also recommends that staff amend the ]ease agree-
ment to include the specific improvements to the
facility and to protect the City's interests with
regard to these improvements and any revenues to be
derived from the operation of the facility.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and Fi-
nance Committee Report No. 34-87 was accepted and recommendations
implemented.
