I am pleased to submit the following information regarding the 14 questions you forwarded to me on September 13, 2000. I will meet with you, at your convenience, to review these issues. 1) The business plan for the City Center development will be available for Councilmembers and Redevelopment Agency members who would sign a non- disclosure statement. In addition, they would have the following documents in a room for a day for inspection and review with Ray Olmscheid present to answer questions: Financial statements of developer and prime tenants loan documents leases with tenants. This would occur within a week of consideration of the DDA. 2) Mr. Olmscheid will review the marketing plan and other issues at the time he meets with us regarding the business plan, financial statements, etc. 3) As you are well aware, audited financial statements are very expensive to have prepared. I am told that reviewed statements, with comments from a CPA are an industry norm and may be sufficient. I hope this meets with your satisfaction. 4) Interim financial information makes sense and can be available with Item #1 above. 'Financial Disclosure Issues Page 2 5) Letters of credit for this type of project are no longer in use. We would expect the developer to have a commitment letter from a qualified lending institution. The project would also be bonded, insuring completion. 6) Information regarding signed leases for anchor tenants will be available. Mr. Olmscheid will be prepared to discuss what action he has taken regarding the marketing of the balance of the project. 7) Mr. Olmscheid has, in the RFP process, submitted projects accomplished by the development team. He is willing to supply references and to even conduct a guided tour of past projects. 8) One, three, and five year cash flow projections for this project are reasonable. Ten year projections are unlikely. This can be made available with Item #1 above. 9) Bonding regarding this project will, in all probability, not be in place until the start of construction. The lending institution will be reviewing the appraisal to review costs, any defaults on loans (personal and corporate) and any other pertinent information regarding the developer and the project. We may be able to obtain a letter of intention prior to the actual bonding from the bonding company. 10) Regarding the Olmscheid project, the City would hold no security interests, in the event of default. Such security will be held by the lender. 11) In all probability, the lender would request a personal guarantee from the primary individuals with regard to this project. 12) I have been told by various banking individuals that they have had no experience in obtaining personal financial statements that were audited. Perhaps we could have major assets and liabilities confirmed by someone within our group? 13) I believe a detailed resume of the developer will answer this question. 14) City Councilmembers and Redevelopment Agency members, along with appropriate City staff who sign a non-disclosure statement.

BAKERSFIELD POLICE MEMORANDUM January 2,2001 To: Alan Tandy, City Manager Honorable Mayor Hall and Council Members From: Eric W. Matlock, Chief of Polic Subject: California Crime Index I recently received the Attorney General's report of "Crime 2000 in Selected California Jurisdictions" for January through June. The numbers for the first half of the year appear extremely favorable with the FBI Crime Index reporting a reduction of-9.4%. Particularly encouraging is that reported robberies reflect a reduction of-26.9% and aggravated assault -15.6%, with an overall violent crime reduction of-19.5%. A number of factors can be considered reasons for the overall decrease which includes a good economy, increased community involvement, and a strong emphasis on gang suppression enforcement. I have attached a copy of our jurisdiction report for your information. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding these statistics.

I just found your July press release regarding the above captioned subject. I can't tell you how excited I am about the prospect of a new baseball stadium in Bakersfield. Poor old Sam Lynn has become a civic embarrassment. I would assume you are aware of the explosion of new ballparks being built around the minor leagues. Since my recent retirement I have been visiting the websites of every minor league team. I recently randomly surveyed 80 ~teams in AAA, AA and advanced A leagues and found that 57% had stadiums'built in the 90's and another 13% had stadiums built in the 80's. There was one very clear message. Cities/counties who built new stadiums kePt their teams or were awarded a new franchise or acquired a team from a city who did not build a new stadium. One comment--as proposed the setting sun will be in the right fielders eyes.The south to north axis should run from home plate to 2nd base to center field. May I recommend HNTB Sports Architecture out of Kansas City. I wish you every success in this critical project. Although I am no longer a resident, tell your tax collector I'll send a $30. check every year.for the rest of my life to help pay my share. Ron Wheeler MEMORANDUM Januaw 5,2000 TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: ,,~,~STANLEY C. GRADY, PLANNING DIRECTOR RE: CITY CENTER PROJECT STATUS Despite the delay of the first Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting the project is on schedule. This portion of the City Center process is the "entitlement stage". There are two important milestones approaching. Note that the draft environmental impact report is in the 45 day public review period, which ends February 7, 2001. The first milestone is the Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting of January 18, 2001. The purpose of this meeting is to receive the public's comments on the draft environmental document. No action will be taken on the project at this meeting. The second milestone is the Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting of March 13, 2001. The purpose of this meeting is twofold, 1) certify the Final Environmental Impact Report and 2) approve the conditional use permits to allow the baseball stadium in a light manufacturing and commercial center zone, a senior housing project partially within a regional commercial zone and a zone modification to permit the senior housing project to exceed 35 feet in height. This typically would end the "entitlement stage" portion of the process for the City Center project unless there is an appeal of the Board of Zoning Adjustment decision. Any appeal requires the project to be heard by the City Council. Should there be an appeal, the matter will be heard at the Council meeting of March 28, 2001. SG:MG:pah S:\Forms\memorandum.frm
