GENERAL INFORMATION
1. With respect to the Trade Council and the Hotel, the counter-proposal from
the Hammons group is enclosed for your information. The Trade Council is
to make its decision on it Tuesday.
With respect to other matters on the Hotel, by Monday or Tuesday of next
week, we hope to be in the process of setting up a date for the
groundbreaking activities. We will coordinate those with you. We
anticipate some kind of celebration and large scale function, to be
foliowed by a dinner for Hammons, Council, CDDA and other principals. We
are open to any suggestions about the content of such a celebration and
acknowledgement.
The Hammons people may want to start concrete work before all plans are
approved - they are anxious to get started. If they do, it would be at
their risk, before deed transfer, and with union labor, since the bids
would not be in yet.
2. The report on the Uilla de Oro project, which was approved by Council some
months ago and has gone i nto a 1 ong del ay peri od, i s encl osed for your
information.
3. I spent the latter part of the week involved in Public Works Director
interviews with finalists. I anticipate having some kind of decision
shortly after I return from vacation, March 17th. It is possible it could
be a little quicker, but at this point, I would project the 17th.
4. A brochure is enclosed showing how we are advertising our job creation
program in the Incentive Area. This is given out to development prospects
and the like. If you need more copies, please let Jake Wager know.
5. A copy of a letter to the Prevailing Wage Task Force is enclosed. Trudy
Slater is currently in the process of setting up the first meeting with the
membership.
6. The landfill flare acquisition has been delayed. A memo is enclosed
describing why that has accurred.
7. A status report on the URM Incentive Program is enclosed for your
information.

TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development
Februazy 22, 1994
SUBJECT: Acquisition of Resolution Trust Corporation property for resale to
C.A.R.E. Foundation.
As you may recall, the CARE Foundation, a legai non-profit Califarnia Corporation
specializing in the development ownership and management of affordable housing projects,
has requested the City to act as an intermediary in the acquisition of real property under the
Resolution Trust Corporation's (RTC) Affordable Housing l�isposition Program.
Under the Federal Insurance Reform Recovery Act, Congress mandated RTC to manage and
dispose of the assets of failed savings institutions. As part of the mandate RTC was charged
with the responsibility of marketing multi-family, one bedroom units, with market appraised
values of less than $33,816, ep r unit, to: 1) public agencies; (2) non-proiits; and, (3) open
market. These units are to be maintained as "affordable housing" as defined by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Sales to public agencies are a priority and involves negotiation rather than competitive
bidding. This explains CARE's interest in obtaining the City to act as an intermediary in the
purchase of the Villa de Oro apartment complex for seniors. The property, located at 1841-
1849 Golden State Avenue, in Bakersfield, consists of forty one-beciroom units. T'his
complex is approximately twenty years old and well maintained, with a history of 100%
occupancy.
In May of last year, the City Council authorized the real property agent to negotiate and make
an offer for the purchase of the Villa de Oro complex with immediate resale to the CARE
Foundation, through a simultaneous close of escrow.
Subsequently, an offer to purchase was submitted to RTC. At about the same time the offer
was made, RTC temporarily suspended the processing of all affers to perform an in-house
' r' review of their environmental guidelines: r'�pproximateiy six months after submission of the
``� City's offer we were notified the iZTC environmental guidelines had been revised and the
City's offer had been rejected. The basis of the rejection was that the dollar amount of the
offer, authorized by CARE, was less whan RTC's minimum.
After numerous discussions with both the CARE group and RTC, I scheduled a meeting
which was attended by all concerned parties.
Several critical issues were resolved as a result of the roundtable discussion. Among them
was an agreement by the RTC and CARE on the sale price ($250,000) and RTC's original
requirement that all environmental issues be resolved by the City prior to any property
transfer from City to CARE was dro�ped. The CARE Foundation, upon receipt of title, will
be required to abate or remediate asbestos containing material at an estimated cost of $18,000.
These costs will be borne by CARE.
A second offer is being prepared and will be submitted to RTC within two weeks. Assuming
the offer is acceptable, a due diligence period of sixty to seventy five days will follow. If
upon expiration of this period the City and CARE are still prepared to complete the purchase,
the RT� will forward loan document for completion.
Within ninety days, we will be requesting Council authorization to execute the loan
documents.
The acquisition and immediate resale of this property will be a win-win venture. CARE will
purchase real property for 25% of ma.rket value and the City will receive a finders fee of
$40,000 and, at the same time, create approximately $700,000 of "match credit." The match
credit will a11ow the City to meet the $.25 non federal contribution requirement for every
$1.00 of federal monies allocated to the City through HUD's HOME program. Based on
cunent allocations, the match credit from this transaction will satisfy the non federal match
requirednents for three years. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Dear Mike Sides:

CITY Ur' BAKERSFIELD
SAIVITATtON DIViSIOM
IT Corporation (IT) is recommending that the equipment specified in the Landfiii Gas Treatment
System invitation to bid (bid) let by the City of Bakerstield (City) not be procured as specified.
The thermal oxidizer (tlare) specitied in the bid may not have adequate inlet flow capacity to control
the landtiil gas at the landtill. The total tlow of the specitied flare is 500 standard cubic feet per
minute (SCFM) OR 1,700,000 BTUs/Hr. This flow must also include the pilot fuel, dilution air, and
combustion air.
Currently, the tlare at the landfill has a tlow of 750 SCFM of landfill gas at 6 to 12 percent methane.
'Fhe standard BTU rating for methane is 1,000 BTUs per standard cubic foot (SCF). Therefore,
750 SCFM x b percent methane yields 45 SCFM of inethane. To compare the existing tlare to the
specitied unit, convert the 45 SCFM of inethane to BTUs/hr: multiply the 45 SCFM of inethane by
60 minutes to obtain 2,700 SCFM/hr of inethane. To obtain BTUs/hr, multiply the SCFM/hr by the
1,000 BTUs/SCF. This calculation results in 2,700,000 BTUs/hr, which is one million BTU's /Hr
more than the bid unit can handle.
Therefore, even if the specitied tlare could handle the landfill gas tlow it can not handie the BTU's
from the landtill gas under current conditions. I have been informed by several of the thermal
oxidizer manufactures, including Paragon, that a larger unit could handle the current parameters, but
would cost more.
Mike, the operational restrictions of the specitied bid tlare just came to light. I do not know if I
misunderstoc�d the o�erational parameters of the units or something else.
In closing, I hope this letter clearly addresses the reasons not to purchase the bid flare. If not, please
cal) me and I will explain the short-fall.
Sincerely,

On November 18, 1993, a letter was sent to all property owners, who forwarded an applicarion,
announcing scheduled seismic seminars. Three seminars were held during November 30--
December 4, 1993. Some 62 property owners and/or their assigned representative attended the
seminars representing 51 properties,
As of today, 67 approved applications have been received. Of the 67 applications, 50 have
completed the mandatory seminar and the remaining 17 applications represent the number of
properties that cannot proceed without attending a seismic seminar. Property owners who did not
attend the seminars have contacted the office inquiring about future scheduled seminars to
participate in the program. At this time no work plans have been submitted.
An informal telephone poll was conducted of those property owners who attended the seminars.
Ten property owners were contacted and seven were available to respond to the poll. Six
indicated that they have contacted an engineer regarding their URM propemes. Three had secured
an engineer and were awaiting the �nal repart. The remaining three had not secured an engineer

Dear Mr. Lutkus:
Approximately a month ago an on-site inspection was conducted at several local street
crossings with the Southern Pacific Transportation Company railroads. The inspection team
included members of your staff, railroad representatives, a City Council member and City
staff. The primary purpose of the inspection was to demonstrate to yoar office the need for
�etter maintenance of these crossings.
We really appreciate the manner in which the inspection vbras conducted and your prompt
written response to the City Manager regarding your findings and a recommendation for
repair of various locations.
We wish to advise you that repair has oegun at many o� the crossings with the assistance
of City maintenance personnel where appropriate. Witlfl your continued assistance in this
matter we hope to bring the crossing repair issue to a close as rapidly as possible.
Again, thanks for your cooperation and assistance.
Very truly yours,
