Home My WebLink About03/02/01 B A K E R S F I E L D CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MEMORANDUM March 2, 2001 TO: Honorable Mayor and (~ity Council FROM: Alan Tan anager SUBJECT: General Information 1. The Redevelopment Agency decided it preferred a one time grant of assistance for a southeast charrette, rather than granting the Southeast PAC request for 10% of the tax increment. That would then cause the financing to go back to the 100% application of tax increment to the stadium debt service. A revised financial sheet is attached. Agency members cited concerns about the precedent. They also indicated a strong desire to help the southeast; The City Center project, itself, would jump start economic activity and generate new tax increments to the southeast, and the plan developed by the charrette would help. 2. We received responses that five design/build teams will participate in our stadium process: ARB / Rossetti Bernard Brothers / HNTB Colombo / Turner / Rossetti HOK / Griffith SC Anderson / Birtcher / Rossetti It's a good field, with three major architectural firms and a nice mixture of local and regional contractors. 3. At the request of Council, three community meetings have been scheduled to allow the public an opportunity to ask questions and provide input regarding the City Center project. Dates and locations are as follows: Thursday, March 8th Bakersfield City School District Office; Thursday, March 13th - Liberty High School Auditorium; Wednesday, March 21st - City Council Chambers. The meetings will begin at 6:00 p.m. The attached press release went out today. We will also run notices in the newspapers (including the Hispanic publications), and the information will appear on KGOV and the City's web page. Honorable Mayor and City Council February 23, 2001 Page 2 4. The Chamber of Commerce and Building Industry Association have officially endorsed the City Center project. Their letters are enclosed. 5. As mentioned in General Information two weeks ago, a local soils engineering firm, has offered to donate their services for the geotechnical report for the stadium. That firm is Krazan and Associates, and they will give a presentation at the March 14th Council meeting. 6. An interesting article is enclosed about a new minor league baseball park that will open in Camden, New Jersey, as part of a major urban renewal process taking place there. 7. Congratulations are in order for two or our department heads who recently received their service awards - Chief of Police Eric Matlock for 30 years and Fire Chief Ron Fraze for 15 years. 8. The Kugel Fountain for the Amtrack Station is scheduled to arrive in Bakersfield on Monday, March 12th. An unveiling ceremony is being planned for Friday, March 16th. We will get more details on that to you next week. 9. The water situation has been somewhat improved by the recent rains and mountain snow. The latest numbers indicate that we are up to 55% of normal, which is slightly better than anticipated. 10. Enclosed is correspondence and a staff memo relating to the concerns expressed by a citizen at the February 14th City Council meeting pertaining to handicapped access curb cuts, GET and PG&E. Staff is working with the citizen and the agencies involved to address his concerns. 11. Responses to Council requests are enclosed, as follows: Councilmember Benham · Information from Police and Recreation and Parks regarding the lack of restroom facilities at International Square. This is a difficult issue with public safety and nearly business owner concerns depending on what action is taken. Staff has been in ongoing discussions with the Old Town kern group to explore possible alternatives and solutions.

Although, restrooms may partially address some basic issues, they would create other, and possibly more serious, problems. Also, the fundamental need of providing services to those who frequent the park is not being addressed through the installation of restrooms. The department recently reconsidered utilizing portable toilets at this site. Although an option, again this approach would create other problems. In addition, the expense would likely prove to be too costly and ultimately fail as a solution. I have attached a quote from local company that specializes in portable toilets. Of particular interest is the provision and cost for damages. This is provided for your information. Currently, in addition to the ongoing costs associated with maintaining a public park, the city spends approximately $1,100 annually to lease this site from the railroad. This, along with the construction costs and ongoing maintenance, make restrooms at this site expensive and still inadequate. If the city determines that it wants to construct restrooms, I would first propose exploring the possibility of working with the Rescue Mission to better solve both the restroom and services needs. Should we determine that a restroom will be constructed at International Square, then I would recommend a "permanent outhouse" instead of the typical restroom. This would eliminate the cost of a sewer connection, minimize vandalism and maintenance, and make it easier to remove the facility should the city decide to terminate the property lease in the future. If you require additional information, please let me know. c: Citizens Community Services Advisory Committee City ~~ Att:. Joo Gomzdm 4101 Tt'uxfm A~. Bakmfi~ CA ~o~' mtia~'s Pump~ & Pombb Sew., In~.

Subject: International Square Issues concerning International Square and the transient population who congregate in the area have long been a law enforcement problem and a nuisance to merchants and residents in the area. Historically, law enforcement issues and concerns revolved around crimes against persons, drug abuse, and public intoxication along with public urination and defecation. Prior to constructing restroom facilities, I would recommend further collaboration with the Old Town Kern Business Association, the Bakersfield Rescue Mission and other social service agencies in an effort to reach a long term solution. I am concerned that constructing restrooms at International Park will only create different law enforcement problems rather than addressing the social issues regarding those who congregate in the area. Please refer to the attached memorandum by Lt. Robert Bivens for additional information. EWM/vrf Attachment: "International Square" Memorandum by Lt. B. Bivens To: Eric Matlock, Chief of Police From: B. Bivens, Lieutenant, Operations Subject: International Square International Square is and has been a major concern for business owners and residents in the Old Town Kern Business District. The proximity to the homeless centers and nearby liquor stores, makes it a popular spot for the transient population to congregate. I have been attending the Old Town Kern Association meetings and I am familiar with the complaints of the local business owners. The business owners and their customers are exposed to people urinating in and around the park during business hours. The construction of a restroom facility at International Square could pose some problems for officers patrolling the area. The restroom alone will draw more homeless people to the park for use of the facility. On any given day, there are as many as 30-50 people in the park. A restroom could provide a place of concealment for persons to engage in sex crimes, drug sales/use, and vandalism. In considering the construction of a restroom facility, I would recommend it be planned and designed with environmental crime prevention in mind. A restroom could reduce the incidents of public urination and deification in and around the business district. Off site alternatives should be considered. Currently, the Rescue Mission maintains a vacant lot, approximately one block east of International Square on Sumner Street. As an alternative site, this would be an ideal location for the construction of a restroom which would also curtail the problem. : :" Lieutenant R. Bivens -: ?.: . '~:..'.,.. '- ' :' :'4 '' ~:" .'
