California State University, Bakersfield and the city of Bakersfield have reached an
agreement in principle for CSUB to play its basketball games in the city's new
Centennial Garden, beginning with the 1998-99 season.
The agreement was reached earlier this week after extensive negotiations and review with
the city and Ogden Entertainment, the company hired to manage the 10,800 seat arena
under construction adjacent to the Convention Center in downtown Bakersfield. The
formal agreement has been sent for final review by the CSU general counsel prior to
implementation.
CSUB President Totals Arciniega said he Was excited that the Roadrunners will be
playing their games in Centennial Garden this fall.
"This represents a marvelous opportunity for our university to be a significant partner
with the city in the revitalization of the downtown area of Bakersfield," Arciniega said.
"We see this as a wonderful opportunity to increase the quality of our athletic programs,
and also increase the revenue for our Athletic Department.
"What's going on in downtown Bakersfield is very exciting, and we see a definite role for
the university in those developments."
One of the major factors in what Arciniega described as cordial negotiations with the
city was "our partnership with the community, and by that I mean Bakersfield and=Kern'
County. We are a major participant in the community and our linkages are many - we're a
major employer and have a significant impact on the local economy. Plus 85 percent of our
students are from Kern County and 75 percent of our alumni live and work in Kern County.
"It's in our long-term best interest to increase our athletic program revenue from sources
external to the university, and we see this arrangement with the city as a key part of
achieving that goal. In this day and age it is very costly to be excellent and compete in a
number of sports. Our men and women athletes are not only competitive, but also excel
and become champions.
"I want to make special reference to the very positive and supportive stance taken by the
city in our negotiations as regards our interest in making sure that our students were taken
care of," Arciniega continued. "I'm referring specifically to the provisions for admission,
Patricia Jing, Public Information Officer
805/664-2138 Voice 805/664-3299 Fax Modem 805/664-3324 Fax
transportation and special seating for our students. I was gratified by the positive response
from the city in all our discussions to ensure our students were a top priority."
Arciniega said he also wanted "to thank all the students, faculty, staff, fans and alumni
for their thoughtful recommendations and expressed opinions about this initiative to move
the basketball program downtown. The leadership of many of our support groups, the CSB
Foundation board, faculty and student leaders who have helped us work this through, has
been invaluable."
CSUB head basketball coach Henry Clark was also delighted with the prospects of
"]~
playing home games in the new downtown arena, certainly appreciate all the hard work
on the part of the president and the Athletic Department staffwho have brought this to
fruition," he said_from Florida, where he is on a recruiting trip. "This demonstrates the
foresight necessary to take our program into the next millennium. Our partnership with the
city and the community will help us achieve our goals."
The opportunity to play in Centennial Garddn "presents us with so many positives," he
said. "This is an absolutely wonderful facility. It allows for the growth of the program,
and will help us to continue to attract the quality of student athletes necessary for us to play
championship-caliber basketball - Roadrunner basketball."
CSUB Athletic Director Rudy Carvajal was happy to finish negotiations and is looking
forward to the coming season. "This is a great opportunity for us to attain financial
stability for our program, and at the same time broaden our base of support in the
community," he said. "We're very excited about our future in downtown Bakersfield."
Although final wording on the document is still being ironed out, Carvajal said the main
points had been agreed upon, which are as follows:
· The agreement will ensure increased revenue for CSUB over current revenues at the
Icardo Center.
· CSUB students will receive free admission to the games and will also have free
parking.
· Students will be provided free bus transportation from the campus to and from the
games.
· A student section will be designated, and "we'll work with the Associated Students to
determine where that will be," Carvajal said.
· Roadrunner Club members and existing season ticket holders will be given priority
consideration for seating in Centennial Garden.
Patricia Jing, Public Information Officer
805/664-2138 Voice 805/664-3299 Fax Modem 805/664-3324 Fax
· All 17 home games will be played in Centennial Garden. "We had to make some
adjustments to our schedule, but all our games will be there, plus any post-season games,"
he said.
· The floor will be painted with CSUB's colors and logo, and the university's
championship banners will hang from the ceiling. The home locker room will be painted
in CSUB's colors.
· Ticket prices "should not change appreciably," Carvajal said, adding that a final ticket
price has not yet been determined.
· Roadrunner Club members and season ticket holders will pay a reduced price for
parking, although those charges have not yet been determined.
· The university will also be able to sell CSUB memorabilia, such as sweatshirts, T-
shirts and pennants.
Carvajal said the arrangement is a win-win situation for both the city and CSUB.
But Assistant Athletic Director Doug Ihmels was more emphatic. "Let's rock 'n' roll," he
said.

In addition to those above, the City received Cigarette Tax of approximately $420,000; 50% of
which was eliminated in 1991-92 and the remaining 50% eliminated in 1992-93. The City
received approximately $700,000 in motor vehicle fines prior to the State taking 50% in 1991-92
which, combined with the reduction in tickets written locally has reduced the City's revenue to
approximately $200,000. This last item has been reversed for the 1998-99 fiscal year and we have
estimated an increase to of $300,000 to $500,000.
Further, the State authorized the County to bill the City for booking fees $735,000 and property
tax administration fees $430,000 which represent the amounts budgeted for 1998-99.

Governor's Budget, May Revision.
The proposal to cut the Vehicle License Fee (VLF) took center stage this week with three
different press conferences. The proponents of the VLF cut held a press conference on Monday,
May 11, which was followed by Tuesday's press conference denouncing the VLF cut by a
diverse coalition comprised of the Legislature's democratic leadership and more than twenty
statewide law enforcement, fire, local government, labor, health, education and business
organizations. On Wednesday, the Govemor weighed in with a press conference of his own
announcing his proposal to cut VLF by seventy-five percent. On Thursday, the League sent a
FAX to city halls outlining the Governor's VLF proposal.
As expected, the day after holding his press conference, the Governor released his May revision
to the state budget which includes a whopping $4.4 billion surplus above January. The projected
surplus for 97-98 was revised up $1.7 billion with an additional upward revision of $2.7 billion
for the 1998-99 year.
The Governor proposes spending the surplus as follows:
VLF Reduction $995 million for first six months
K-12 $500 million above Prop. 98, after school programs, books, etc.
UC/CSU $250 million, infrastructure, technological upgrades
Headwaters Forest $130 million purchase old growth forest, federal agreement
Local Flood Subventions $172 million in overdue subventions owed to cities and counties
~x~x%In~as~cture Bank $100 million added for a total of $150 million to capitalize
Economic Development
In addition, the Governor proposed to bring the reserve for the state budget to a total of $1.6
billion. Included was an increase earmarked for a State Employee pay raise from 3% to 4%. Not
mentioned in the document was any reference to returning property taxes taken from local
government in the early 90s. The Governor indicated during his press conference that local
government had been repaid at least 7._~°5% by a combination of Pr_op. 172, earmarked for public
safety, the COPS prom'am, and the Trial Court funding measure fr~m last year.

SUBJECT: Home Buyers' Expo '98 Update
On Saturday, May 16, the Home Buyers' Expo, sponsored by the City of Bakersfield and
the Community Housing Resources Board (CHRB), was held at the Kern County Fairgrounds.
The event has been acclaimed as a big success by exhibitors, attendees, and the 14 community-
based planning committee members who organized the event. Although the crowd estimates are
preliminary, the day began with over 500 people waiting in line to enter the exposition and collect
a H.U.D. $100 down payment certificate. Thirty-six workshops were offered throughout the day
in both English and Spanish on topics such as "How to Buy a HUD Home," "Tools You Can Use
to Become a Homeowner," "Let the City of Bakersfield Help You Buy a Home." Many of the
74 exhibitors have already expressed that a significant number of business contacts were generated
by the more than 5,000 Expo attendees. Visitors to the Expo indicated they gained important
information about home buying, home seeking, and home ownership opportunities and expressed
great appreciation of the event to exit interviewers. An evaluation form will be sent to all the
exhibitors to solicit additional feedback later this week.
Self Help Enterprises, a non-profit organization seeking families to complete a 10-lot new
construction project, partially funded with City HOME funds, reported that they were
overwhelmed with responses. Gordon Fisher of Advantage Homes stated he had to return to his
office to make additional copies of handouts at mid-day and expressed his pleasure with City staff
assuming the lead role in this year's event. Brian Etter of Home Mortgage Express stated he
established one solid month of appointments by the end of the day as well as other pleasures with
the event. Positive feedback was also offered by the City's Mt. Vernon Recycling Center.
In keeping with the family atmosphere of the event, children's activities were conducted
on a grassy area adjacent to the exhibit hall. Face Painting provided by the Alliance Against
Family Violence, Chuck-o the Clown balloon hats and magic tricks, an Astro Jump Bounce House
provided by Petrini Construction, a 4-H petting zoo and the Kid's Safe Burn House, provided by
the City Fire Department all added to the fun-filled day. City Recreation and Parks provided
c nnb~ng eqmpment as well as an lnformat~on booth ~n the exhibit hall. In addition,
scheduled throughout the day on a stage outside the building showcased Studio D~
Mariachi music, the Boys and Girls Club and Divided Highway. The event w~s c,o,o~,r~edm~

WF0008210 Bid Preference Ordinance
In 1994 the City adopted an ordinance giving local vendors preference by taking
into account the local 1% sales tax which would accrue to the City in determining
low bid. Subsequently the Budget and Finance Committee met to determine the
possibility of a larger preference. The City Attorneys' Office opinioned that a
charter change would be required and the item was tabled. City employees are
encouraged to purchase items within the City limits when bids are not required and
the prices are competitive.

SUBJECT: Beale Pool
During the routine painting of Beale Pool, the staff of General Services noticed
"flaking" of the pool surface. Staff's investigation of the problem indicated a hollow
area under the pool shell. This was determined by "tapping" the bottom of the pool.
To determine more precisely the extent of the problem, we are contracting the
services of a professional firm. The plan is to perform both coring tests and a ground
penetrating radar test.
Staff informed me that the pool shell is over fifty years old and has been leaking for
at least thirty years. Those two conditions are not generally favorable for making
adequate repairs.
We will not be able to fill the pool until testing is complete and depending on the
results, we may not be able to open the pool before mid-July, if at all this year. Staff
is making arrangements to accommodate activities already scheduled for this smmner
such as private parties and swimming lessons. Saunders Pool should be able to
accommodate the recreational swimmers that normally swim at Beale.
I will forward the results of the tests as soon as we receive them. If you have any
questions or require additional information, please let me know.
