HomeMy WebLinkAbout04/11/97 BAKERSFIELD CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM April11,1997 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY CO, UN FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Staff from Public Works recently met with representatives from the Farm Bureau regarding their interest in moving the Chamber of Commerce building, when it is vacated, to a site at Mount Vernon, south of Highway 58. We have informed them about the City's fees and other related costs to move the building, as well as the permits CalTrans and the Railroad will require. They are now working with their contractor to verify the estimate they received. It is cheaper for us to give them the building if it is economical to move it, as it avoids demolition costs. It's also a nice addition to southeast Bakersfield. 2. Attached is the March report from the County Environmental Health Department for the LEA's regulated projects within the City. 3. The latest progress report on the Remedial Action Plan for the Panorama Burn Dump is enclosed. 4. We will be proposing a sanitation fee increase of 3% in connection with the new budget. Under Proposition 218 we have to do a protest hearing on that, so advertising requirements will precede the budget. 5. Gail Waiters has been nominated to be an ICMA vice president. It's quite an honor. She must now stand for election. 6. Jake Wager and I toured the Federal Building this week. It's really in good condition and is very functional. In a few weeks, the General Services Administration will be taking proposals from public entities to eventually turn over ownership. It could be a better office for our Economic and Community Development operation, allowing us Honorable Mayor and City Council April 11, 1997 Page 2 to sell 515 Truxtun for new development. It could also house other economic development related agencies. The CVB and Convention Center could use the upper floors for convention room break out space. The Recreation Division could use it for classes. We think we could put together a proposal very strong on economic development and a great supplement to the hotel, convention center, and arena. We'll draft some ideas for your consideration. 7. Now that the arena construction agreement is approved, staff will have some time to concentrate on land acquisition for parking, concession contracts, management and long term FF&E items, such as the scoreboard and outside reader board. The design/build team is working intensively, and ground breaking will be scheduled for sometime in June. It is interesting to note that it was last June that you put it in your goals. It's remarkable progress to go from goal to ground breaking in a year on something this significant. Congratulations! 8. The County is pursuing the effort to transfer their landfill tax from the tax bill under their name, so that it would go under ours. We met with them this date to tell them it was impossible, but it is on the Supervisors' agenda for Tuesday, anyway.

ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ~//~ DATE: APRIL, 8, 1997 REF: STATUS OF FARM BUREAU MOVE OF CHAMBER BUILDING DeWayne 'Starnes met with represematives of the Farm Bureau on April 1, 1997. The Bureau indicated that their contractor would be able to move the Chamber building for around $300,000.00 including set up at the final location on Mt. Vernon south of Hwy 58. They indicated the cost of a new building to be approximately $500,000.00. They were told that they and their contractor would have to complete the City building moving permit and have the necessary sign offs including the Bakersfield Police Department. They were informed that they would also have to contact Caltrans and the Railroad for permits and temporary removal and replacement of traffic signals and Railroad crossing guards. They were also told that BPD would require police traffic control escorts and it would be their responsibility to pay for the traffic control. They are in the process now of making sure that their contractor has taken these various stumbling blocks into account. They will be getting back to Mr. Stames regarding these issues and a discussion of the proposed route in the near future. pc: John Stinson P:\ ARENA'uMEMOSXMEMO. 16 · .SENT B~[:OMEGA~' CONSTRUCTION ; 4- 1-cd7 ; 9:12AM ; OMEGA CONSTRUCTION-, 805 328 1027;# 1/ 3 TRANSMITTAl, PROM: OMEGA CONSTRUCTION 16500 BARTON LANE BAKERSFIELD, CA 93312 FAX NO.

DTSC has indicated that some revision of the draft S.I.R. is necessary before Kleinfelder can finish the Remedial Action Plan (R.A.P.). DTSC has also decided to conduct additional interviews with the neighboring residents before issuing comments which Kleinfelder will use in preparing the R.A.P. The interviews will push the R.A.P.'s scheduled delivery date from April 10, 1997 to April 25, 1997. In the draft S.I.R., raw data suggests that approximately 6 to 8 properties may need remediation, and to a limited extent. However, a final determination is still subject to review by DTSC.

The project will add adclttional production capability to the seven year old plant. The expansion will create approximately 10 new Jobs this year, with more Jobs possible as sales increase. KEDC assisted Hancor with planning and air pollution control issues for this project. "Job growth and business expansion are essential as we embark on the chal- lenges of a new frontier, that is, welfare-to-work," stated Kern County Supervi- sor, Pete Parra. "I applaud the efforts of Greg Whitney, KEDC and Hancor, Inc., and I hope we can continue efforts like this whereas business leadership and County officials work together to make our great county stronger," he added. Hancor, based in Findlay, OH, originally expanded to Bakersfield in 1990 with 25 employees following an extensive multi-state search. Today, the plant employs 36, and this current project adds 10,000 square feet to the existing 33,000 square foot building. "We are extremely pleased with Kern County," said Mark Pyne, Regional Manu- facturing Manager for Hancor. "The assistance and cooperation we received from local officials was invaluable, and the productive labor force and market access have been excellent." - more - Page: 3 From: Kern Economic Development Prepared: Mon, Apr 7, 1997 5:40 PM "It's great to see companies we have previously recruited doing well and ex- panding,'' said Greg Whitney, KEDC President.
