FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Directc~,,-<:x
SUBJECT: Southeast Bakersfield PAC meeting schedu~uary 20, 2000 canceled due
to lack of quorum
The Southeast Bakersfield Project Area Committee (PAC) did not meet on January 20, due to a lack of
quorum. (As a reminder, the Old Town Kern-Pioneer PAC is not meeting, at their request. Their last
meeting was held on April 27th.)
The following requests were made of staff the day before the scheduled meeting:
- Marvin Dean requested to have a phone set up in the meeting room so he could participate via
a conference call in the election of officers for the PAC, because he had to be in Sacramento.
- Two of the speakers which the PAC requested, Mt. Elgon organization and Gary Chapman,
canceled indicating they were not ready to present.
- Chairman Art Powell called PAC members and determined a quorum would not be met for
the meeting and felt the meeting should be canceled. Ricky Peterson inquired of staff on how
to call for a special meeting. He felt a special meeting should be held the next week to continue
the business of the PAC. The Chair was contacted by staff, he felt none of the agenda items
warranted a special meeting being called. Mr. Peterson was informed that special meetings are
called through the Chair only if there is urgent business that needs to be addressed.
