AT:rs cc: Department Heads Pamela McCarthy, City Clerk Trudy Slater, Administrative Analyst BAKERSFIELD CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM November 16, 1998 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: John W. Stinso istant ger SUBJECT: Metropolitan Recreation Center Master Plan Meeting This Saturday I at:tended a meeting at the Kern County Museum regarding'the Metropolitan Recreation Center Master Plan. The meeting focused primarily on the Museum aspect of the plan and those in attendance were associated with the Museum in some manner. There was discussion regarding creating a new entrance to the Museum. One of the options was to locate it at the southerly portion of the site with access from an extension of 'F' Street across the railroad tracks. Since space on the site was a key concern, I asked if they realized that any separation of grade across the tracks would encroach significantly onto the site using valuable space and significantly affecting their proposed circulation and parking concept at the site. Dr. Kelly Blanton indicated that the crossing would not involve a separation of grade but would simply be an at grade crossing. Former City Manager, Dale Hawley, who was in attendance stated that there were agreements existing between the City, County and the railroad related to the Chester Avenue grade separation which would make any crossing of the tracks in that area difficult to achieve. Although the focus was mainly on the Museum, some other comments were made by a geologist who stated that placing large concrete structures such as the proposed parking garages near the canal or river was not feasible due to the high water table in that area. The main issues of concern for the group were obtaining sufficient space for existing and new museum activities, relocating the entrance off of Chester Avenue, and providing good public access and parking for the site.

At the meeting, Chairperson, Scott Fieber indicated the reason for placing this item on the Commission's agenda was to provide a public forum for what could be done with the sign. Mr. Fieber then asked if anyone in the audience wanted to comment. The following comments were made: Carl Nicita: Four years ago after heating about possible demolition of the Bakersfield Sign, Mr. Nicita and his two sons decided that the sign should be saved. He formed the Save the Sign Committee. The committee met only once, but attendance was good. Dr. Patel, the sign's owner had a $15,000 engineering study done, which included sign repair estimates between $100,00 to $150,000. Dr. Patel is the owner of the sign. Mr. Nicita indicated that the preference of most people is to have the sign moved. He indicated that the structural soundness of the structure never was determined. In order to raise funds, he had intended to form a non-profit, but never did. Herb Walker, Downtown Business Association: The Board of Directors voted to support the preservation of the sign with the understanding the bridge would be demolished and the letters would be preserved and reconstructed in a prominent location. First choice for relocation is near the Kern County Museum, second choice is at Buck Owens Crystal Palace, and third choice would be some appropriate location in the central city. (The letter is attached.) Jim Shaw, Buck Owens Studio: He asked how much money is available. (Staff responded that the City Council has committed $10,000 in CDBG monies for demolition, relocation, restoration.) Todd Karli, of KERO TV 23 asked if the Commission has any jurisdiction over the sign. The commission indicated they do not, however they do advise the City Council regarding historic resources preservation and refer cultural resource designations to the Council for placement on the local register. __RECEIVED ] NovIg'998 ! i ICITY MANAGER'S Other Commissioner comments were that the sign was originally used for pedestrian passage. Commissioners expressed that the community should decide what to do with the sign by providing resources and potential locations. They indicated there is community interest to preserve the sign and Mr. Nicita should be encouraged to proceed with his efforts. The Commission could offer him support. The Commission asked if any city ordinances dictate the legal placement of the sign over a street. Ms. Scanlan offered to research this issue. The commission indicated they will talk to Dr. Patel about getting the sign designated as a cultural resource and mentioned they would assist the community to preserve the sign. 1STVICE PRESIDENT ~ ~ November 17, 1998 DmCUIWE Bakersfield Historic Preservation Commission VICEPRESIDENT 1501 Truxtun Avenue ~ ~J~,' Bakersfield, Calif. 93301 BOM~J) OF Om.

Economic ~d Co--unity Development Dep~ment MEMORANDUM November 17, 1998 ~~ TO: Jake Wager ~/ FROM: David Lyman~I- SUBJECT: How the Defeat of Proposition 7 will Benefit the Bakersfield Enterprise Zone With the defeat of Proposition 7 on November 3, the Bakersfield Enterprise Zone will benefit in several ways: · Effective January 1, 1999, the zone will be able to be increased in size by 20% of the original area. ,Prior to this, the expansion area was 15%. This 5% increase means the city can expand its portion of the enterprise zone by an additional 45.75 acres. This increase in expansion area is limited to those zones, like Bakersfield, whose area is less than 13 square miles. I recommend that we maintain our policy of expanding the enterprise zone only when needed, thereby assuring that we continue to have flexibility to expand to meet the future needs of potential zone employers. · We have the option of extending the life of the zone for an additional five years past the original sunset date of October 2001. This benefit is limited to the first 19 zones that were designated; this number includes Bakersfield. To extend the life of the zone, City and County would need to apply in writing to the California Trade and Commerce Agency for the extension and outline program goals which still need to be met. I recommend we immediately coordinate our efforts with County staff to extend the life of our zone for an additional five years. · The formula used to calculate taxable income has been changed to increase the amount of tax credit a taxpayer is able to apply in a given year. Under the current law, the formula used to calculate taxable income included a double weighted sales factor, in addition to property and payroll factors. The new law removes "sales" as a factor in this mathematical formula. This change applies to all enterprise zones, and is retroactively effective for taxable or income years beginning on or after January 1, 1998. · The apportionment formula will now be based on Califomia-based income, property, and payroll instead of world-wide income, property, and payroll. This change applies to all enterprise zones, and is retroactively effective for taxable or income years beginning on or after November 17, 1998 Page 2 January 1, 1998. · Under current law, the definition of qualified property does not accurately reflect the new types of manufacturing that occur within the motion picture and computer industries. The law now expands the definition of qualified property eligible for the sales and use tax credit to meet the needs of the high technology and motion picture industries. As I indicated above, I will be working with county staff to discuss how to communicate these changes in benefits to enterprise zone businesses, as well as to coordinate our efforts to extend the life of the zone's designation. dlSP:\E ZLNew law memo.wpd Time Warner Cable C.
