Orchestra, spoke about additional funding for the Symphony and provideda letter requesting a City
contribution of $100,000 to the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra for the coming year and a line item
in the 'budget for the arts. He suggested that the City route the contribution through the Arts Council
of Kern so they can obtain matching funds.
Committee Chair Maggard asked staff .to check on the possibility of routing contributions differently
in order to obtain matching funds.
4. DEFERRED BUSINESS
A. Review and Committee recommendation-on policy regarding requests for financial
assistance
Assistant City Manager John Stinson gave an overview of an August 22nd memo from the City
Manager regarding requests for financial assistance from nonprofit groups for community activities,
Due to the limited funds available, staff is looking for direction relative to the Council policy on these
requests.
Finance Director Gregory Klimko explained every year when the budget is prepared there are
budget considerations on items that must be evaluated within the context of what the City can afford

to do. He briefed the Committee on the General Fund and provided the following information
regarding outstanding financial commitments and other budgetary considerations:
· Negotiated Salary Settlements @ 5% per year for three years thru 2003.
· Increased Public Safety Retirement costs for Police and Fire.
Police commencing 2003-04, $3.0 million and
Fire commencing 2008-09, $2.5 million
· Maintain Police ration @ 1.3 sworn personnel per 1,000 population
Annual cost per officer $77,000
Initial equipment per officer $48,000
· Additional Southwest Fire Station - July 2003
Facility construction $1,500,000 - $2,500,000
Annual recurring personnel/operating cost - approximately $1.7 million
· Additional Northeast Fire Station - July 2005?
· Annual Capital Improvement to City buildings, parks, etc. $2 - $3 million
· County airport terminal - $500,000 annually thru 2004-05
· Police substations
· Replace Police Mobile Data Terminals with Mobile Data Computers
· Replace/Convert Citywide Microwave Telecommunications system from analog to digital by
January 2005 estimated cost - $8 .million
· Street and road repair and maintenance backlog $80 million
The slowing national economy has an affect on our general fund as the City's single largest revenue
is from sales tax. With a slowing economy, there may be a need to be very selective when
considering expenditures.
Committee member Salvaggio stated :he felt the Committee should make a recommendation to the
Council regarding the City's policy for financial assistance to nonprofit 'groups. He read from an
August 22, 2001 memo from the City Manager:
"As you are aware, requests for financial assistance from non-profit groups have been on
a very rapid rise lately. Some examples include Kern County Museum, Bakersfield
Museum of Art, Bakersfield Music Theatre, First Night, DBA, Bakersfield Symphony and
Bakersfield College, among others. Not only is the number increasing, but also the
amounts requested. All of these groups do good work - as do literally hundreds of other
non-profits in town - all of whom need more money."
"For many years, the Council had a policy of not funding the ongoing operation and
maintenance costs of non-profit groups. There have been certain exceptions including the
Symphony and periodic assistance to two groups that had a long-term relationship with
the City by renting City facilities - the Museum of Art and Bakersfield Senior Center. Start
up or one-time activities are also done such as First Night and Vision 2020. Those,
however, are not ongoing operation and maintenance costs. We also have service
contracts with SPCA, CVB and KEDC - those are really purchase of services and fall into
a different category."
"Until the Council clarifies its policy, we will continue to be besieged by additional requests
- all good causes, all in need of money, but which .cumulatively we cannot afford."
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
Thursday, August 30, 2001
Page -3-
"A few weeks ago, staff recommended a policy that would disallow assistance to non-
profits for ongoing operation and maintenance purposes with the exception of those with
who we have had an ongoing relationship - the Bakersfield Senior Center, Bakersfield
Museum of Art and the Symphony. The Council did not act on that recommendation due,
in part, to the press of other business. Since that time, we have received four other
requests."
"Staff now wants to add to the previous recommendation by adding sources and amounts
as follows:
Bakersfield Senior Center - $50,000 per year from the Housing and Community
Development Grant (beginning with the FY 2002-03 budget)
Bakersfield Museum of Art - $25,000 per year from the General Fund
(beginning with the FY 2002-03 budget)
Bakersfield Symphony - rent equivalent at the Convention Center (currently
$46,000 per year)
"In addition, staff would be instructed that when requests are received, we would write the
requesting agency back indicating their request is outside of adopted Council policy.
Pending requests for the *DBA, Symphony (additional funding) and First Night would be
included in the decision."
"If this does not meet Council's expectations or desires, staff requests a full Council policy
discussion of alternatives. This is.a serious matter which needs policy control that is
consistently applied."
*It was noted that the DBA .request for assistance with the banners is already on the agenda to be
considered under new business today.
Committee member Salvaggio said he could be supportive of the following: 1) The Bakersfield
Senior Center. The Committee needs to meet the new director and consider the financial
stipulations requested by the Finance Director; 2) The Bakersfield Museum of Art, but felt we must
hold the line to the $25,000 per year, as we have previously deeded the land to them valued at
$295,000, recently gave $30,000 for the Sculpture Garden and $28,500 toward the Russell and
Remington .Exhibit; and 3) Rent equivalent at the Convention Center for the Bakersfield Symphony,
currently $46,000 per year.
Committee member Salvaggio stated he would like the Committee to make a recommendation to
the full Council. He requested staff provide the Mayor and Council with a copy of the March 8, 2001
memo regarding requests for funds from non-profit groups. The memo contained the following:
'q'he City annually receives a variety of requests for City funds from non-profit groups.
Most are requesting use of Community Development Block Grant Funds but there are
some which request General Funds as well. In order to fairly evaluate these requeststhe
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
Thursday, August 30, 2001
Page -4-
City Council has had a policy that these requests meet a certain criteria. The Council in
the past has considered the following criteria when reviewing requests:
· One-time expenditures rather than ongoing costs;
· Capital expenditures rather than general operating expenditures;
· One-time activities which are tied to specific high priority City Council goals; and
· Use of City facilities by the non-profit group.
The Council in the past has carefully considered how these requests are considered since
there are limited funds available to meet such requests due to the financial demands of
normal city operations and needs including police and fire protection, public works and
other City services. The Council has also looked tonon-profits making requests to provide
matching funds so the City does not bear the .entire costs of the proposed project or
activity. The matChing fund requirement is a demonstration of community support for the
proposal."
The Committee reviewed recent contributions which included: First Night Bakersfield, 2 years @
$15,000 = $30,000; Bakersfield Museum of Art for Russell'Remington Exhibit $28,500; Centennial
Celebration Foundation for Centennial Plaza $15,788 plus another $10,000; Bakersfield Senior
Center, $25,000; Bakersfield Symphony annual rent, $46,000; Arts Council of Kern, $16,500;
Bakersfield Museum of Art for Sculpture Garden $30,000 and deeded the land with approximate
value of $295,000; Vision 2020, $25,000; Kern County Museum, $35,000 plus $300,000 CDBG
funding over the next two years.
Committee member Salvaggio stated he would like the Committee to support staff's
recommendations.
Mr. Younger spoke regarding the City's policy and that it seemed to him a "one-fits-all-policy" is
unreasonable. The Committee should consider each request individually on its own merit. He
presented a letter and asked the Committee to consider an additional $100,000 contribution to the
Symphony.
City Attorney Bart Thiltgen explained under the Brown Act because this request was not on the
agenda, the Committee could not consider it today. However, the Committee could at the
conclusion of this item go back to Public Statements and allow Mr. Younger to speak about his
request. The Committee unanimously approved the above action.
Committee member Hanson stated he supports staff's recommendations, but has concerns when
looking back at recent contributions, such as the $50,000 to the Bakersfield Music Theatre and
current requests, and he would like to add that anyone requesting funds should have complete
financial information available to support their request. As the Council is responsible for Police, Fire,
roads, road maintenance, and general operation of the City, we must have parameters. There is
worthiness in every organization, but he felt organizations should not just come to the government
for money, but should get their people together for fund-raising.

Committee Chair Maggard stated he is comfortable with staff's recommendation as it is worded.
One word of concern he has is that over time the City may be queried as to why these three non-
profits are the three that receive City assistance, and should there be sometime in the future when
another non-profit should take the place of one of the three, but this discussion' can wait for further
consideration. In order to move this item forward, he would support the motion.
Committee member Salvaggio stated that the Committee has reviewed requests on a case by case
basis but if we do not have a policy, the line of requests will continue to get longer and longer. He
clarified his motion that staff draft an administrative report and include the following: 1) using the
March 8th memo and the June 13th administrative report, draft a Council policy regarding requests
for funding from non-profits; 2) include staff's recommendations from the August 22nd memo
including funding the 'Bakersfield Senior Center, $50,000 per year, the Bakersfield Museum of Art,
$25,000 per year and the Bakersfield Symphony currently $46,000 per year, and 3) any contribution
made to the Senior Center will be contingent upon approval of the financial documentation, further
review and recommendation of the funding request by the Budget and Finance Committee and
approval by the City Council.
The .Committee unanimously approved the motion. Staff will prepare the administrative report and-
resolution establishing Council Policy for evaluating requests for financial assistance from non-profit
groups
Economic Development Director Donna Kunz spoke about the CDBG funding for the Bakersfield
Senior Center and the stringent requirements of HUD. There will be an audit cost of approximately
$7,500 for the Block Grant funds, a contract is required and there are monitoring requirements.
The Committee recommended that any agreement with the Bakersfield Senior Center include the
Finance Director's recommendations:
· An audit of the Records at June 30, 2001 to obtain a clear picture of the Senior Center's
financial standing.
· Annual Audits if City financial assistance is to be ongoing.
· Require compliance with all Federal and State laws, rules and regulations especially as
they pertain to payroll records and the timely payment of employees and payroll taxes.
· Require all accounting records to be kept in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in order to have an ongoing understanding of the Senior Center's
financial condition.
B. Review and Committee recommendation regarding Bakersfield Senio, r Center request
for financial assistance
After the agenda was prepared, the City received a call from the Bakersfield Senior Center to
request this item be deferred as they were not ready to present their financial information to the
Committee. The Committee voted unanimously to defer this item.

A. Review and Committee recommendation regarding property located at 720 Lakeview
Avenue
Community Development Coordinator George Gonzales reported the City has received two
proposals to buy City property located at 720 Lakeview Avenue.
· One proposal for $14,000 was from Marty Reyna, owner of Nutri Kids, 800 Lakeview Avenue
who also owns adjacent property, which he has rehabbed. He is offering market value for "as
is condition" and has given the City an estimate of the cost for rehabilitating the property. He
has shown evidence that he does have the money for the rehabilitation. It was noted that the
other proposal was from one of his tenants.
· The other proposal (verbal) for $5,000 was from the Groomed for Greatness, Inc. This non-
profit agency currently operates its programs for career training and job readiness at 800
Lakeview Avenue. They stated that their plan would be to tear it down and rebuild at a cost of
$70,000. They have shown evidence they have the money, $5~000, to acquire the property and
they have a contribution for $70,000. Staff had concerns that $70,000 may not be sufficient
to rebuild.
Staff recommended the proposal from Mr. Reyna be accepted as Mr. Reyna is a for-profit business
and if the property is sold to him, it will be returned to the tax rolls.
Mr.-Reyna spoke regarding his proposal and his commitment to the area shown by the purchase
and improvement of surrounding properties, which benefit-the area.
Evelyn Nelson, Executive. Director and Founder of Groomed for Greatness, Inc., spoke regarding
their proposal. They have a welfare to work program and work with Employers Training Resource
and -the Department of Human Resources to assist people in transition from welfare rolls to
employment. They are looking for larger space to be able to do workshops.
The Committee discussed the fact that the $14,000 offer is much higher and Mr. Reyna has a good
track record and has demonstrated his commitment with the purchase and improvement of
surrounding properties and the operation of Nutri Kids at.-800 Lakeview Avenue. In addition,
Mr. Reyna is a for-profit business and when the property is sold to him, it will be returned to the
property tax rolls.
Committee member Hanson made a motion that the Committee support staff's recommendation to
accept the offer of $14,000 from Mr. Reyna to purchase the surplus property located at 720
Lakeview Avenue. The Committee unanimously agreed and directed staff to forward the
administrative report to the City Council.
Committee Chair Maggard would like staff to nominate Mr. Reyna and his family for a BeaUtiful
Bakersfield Award.

B. Review and Committee recommendation regarding the Downtown Business and
Property Owners Association .and banner responsibilities
Economic Development Director Donna Kunz stated the City has received a letter from the
Downtown .Business and Property Owners Association (DBPOA) requesting the City take back the
responsibility of hanging the banners on Chester Avenue in the downtown. There was an
agreement for several years and the DBPOA has been hanging the banners. The agreement
expired in 1999 and the DBPOA although under no obligation has continued to hang the banners
at their own expense. The DBPOA had contracted the work out and are in arrears for $1,760. They
are requesting the City pay the $1,760 in order to get the banners back. The City originally
purchased the-banners and the cost to replace the banners would exceed $20,000. There are four
seasons of banners.
Staff recommended the City pay the $1,760 as the agreement had expired and the DBPOAdid not
have an ol:iligation to continue at their own expense. It was discussed that this type of project falls
under the Council goal of beautification and landscaping. Also staff is recommending because
Public Works hangs the banners at.the Convention Center and the Amtrak Station, they take over
hanging the banners on Chester Avenue as well.
City Attorney Bart Thiltgen explained under the original agreement with the first hanging of the
banners, they would be the property of the DBPOA. If the City pays the $1,760, the banners will
be returned to the City.
Committee member Salvaggio directed staff to include the City Attorney's comments in the
administrative .report and the information that the DBPOA has continued to hang the banners when
not obligated to do it. This does satisfying the criteria of a one-time expenditure tied to Council
goals in the downtown.
Committee Chair Maggard asked what the response is to other organizations that want to hang
banners. Donna .Kunz responded, the City has a program for a fee that allows organizations to
hang banners in the Cit~ at their own expense.
Committee member-Hanson made a motion to approve staff's recommendations and buy back the
banners-from the DBPOA for $1,760. The Committee unanimously approved the motion. Staff will
include the.language requested by Committee member Salvaggio.in the administrative report and
forward to the City Council.
C, Review and Committee recommendation regarding request for additional fUnding for
Police overtime
Committee Chair Maggard stated he spoke with Police Chief Matlock and would like to defer this
item. The Committee unanimously agreed.

I Committee Chair Maggard said in his Friday packet he had received a notice from Time Warner
~ regarding an increase in rates for RoadRunner service and he wanted to know if this is in alignment

MEMORANDUM
August 13,
2001
FROM: nna L. Kurtz, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: Staff Review of Potential Budget & Finance Committee Plan to Provide
Permanent Funding for the Bakersfield Senior Center
The following information is provided in response to your request regarding Budget & Finance
Committee consideration of permanent funding for the Bakersfield Senior Center of approximately
$50,000 per year.
Eligibility:
Under HUD regulation §570.201e., to be eligible for CDBG assistance, a public service entity must
be either a new public service or present a quantifiable increase in the level of existing service
above that provided by or on behalf of the unit. In other words, the public service must be new or
expand current service levels annually to be eligible for funding.
A waiver can be requested from HUD to grant an exception to the new services/quantifiable
increase requirement. This would require the generation of financial/client data from prior years
from the Senior Center in order to complete a report to HUD for their review.
Additionally, the Budget and Finance Committee's request is for a plan to provide "permanent
financing". The non-profit must continually demonstrate that specific programs are expanding
each funding year to remain eligible. Therefore, the status of permanent funding would be subject
to annual review in compliance with HUD regulations. -
Public Service Admin. Cap:
The amount of CDBG funds used for public services cannot exceed 15 % of each CDBG grant.
Last fiscal year 2000-01,8.48% of our entitlement was spent on governmental public services such
as graffiti removal, fair housing and Enterprise Zone Marketing with the current year budget being
at a comparable level of funding. Based on these current budgetary levels, we have the financial
capacity to fund this request ($50,0000 per year) without exceeding the public service
administrative cap.
Other issues for consideration:
If the committee recommends a funding plan for the Bakersfield Senior Center, we foresee that it
will open the door for all local non-profits to request funding. We could however, incorporate a
competitive application for Public Service activities into our Notice of Funds Available (NOFA)
application process. The department has distributed the NOFA for the next funding cycle which
is due October 31, 2001. Therefore, if the Bud.qet and Finance Committee s~r~'L~_-~ incorporating
public service activities into the application process, we recommend dCv_e!~t::QLa.'.funding,
policy and technical guidelines which could be implemented during next~ye~'s funding cycle., i

MEMORANDUM
TO: Budget and Finance Committee~od/¢¢;¢~'~
September 18,
2001
FROM: Donna L. Kunz, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: Bakersfield Senior Center Funding Application Alternatives
We have completed the financial and technical review of the Bakersfield Senior Center
request for HOME CHDO funds for the Bakersfield Senior Housing Project. There is
approximately $420,000 of CHDO (Community Housing Development Organization)
restricted HOME funds currently unprogrammed. These funds consist of federal
entitlement monies accumulated over the past two fiscal years. At this time, there are
insufficient CHDO funds available to fund the Bakersfield Senior Center request of
$585,982. As such, staff has identified two financially feasible alternatives for committee
consideration. In either case, the assistance will need to be structured as a grant since the
operations of the project can't support any debt service. Also, the Senior Center's
application to be certified is a CHDO was found to be incomplete. They were given until
September 27, 2001 to provide the City with additional information regarding their
organizational structure and financial capacity.
Background:
The Bakersfield Senior Center Inc. is a co-sponsor of a planned 80-unit senior housing
project with Retirement Housing Foundation. The two co-sponsors have received a HUD
202 Capital Advance Allocation in the amount of $7,005,500. Bakersfield Senior Center,
Inc. has requested financial assistance from the City's HOME entitlement program for the
project. The City's HOME CHDO funds requested, are planned to be used for land
acquisition and associated relocation costs. The City Council previously made a financial
commitment of $25,000 to the project. $25,000 is the minimum private contribution
requirement under the HUD Section 202 Capital Advance Program and must be used as
a loan reserve and deposited with HUD.
The HUD 202 Capital Advance Program is designed to pay the acquisition, design and
construction costs for a senior housing project with occupancy restrictions to Iow income
seniors aged 62 or older. There is no debt service requirement on a HUD 202 Capital
Advance and it is forgiven at the end of forty years. The project also receives project
based Section 8 Certificates to help assure an income stream to offset the operating costs.
The income stream for these projects is typically very limited and does not allow for much
in the way of operating reserves or emergency contingencies. Any construction funds
saved from the HUD 202 Capital Advance allocation may be placed in an operating reserve
for later use by the project. The HUD 202 reservation sets a maximum amount of
reservation dollars based on the number of units being constructed.
The original project approved by HUD depicts its location on land currently owned by
Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc. Staff received a construction pro forma from the co-
sponsor- Retirement Housing, Inc. The cost pro forma indicates a sales price of $250,000
to the Bakersfield Senior Center Inc. for their land and planned for payment from the HUD
202 funds. The co-sponsors do not have a formal written agreement and the definitive
price of $250,000 for the Bakersfield Senior Center land has not been agreed to between
them. However, for our analytical purposes, this amount was used as it is representative
of the current per square foot value of vacant land in this location.
It is also important to note that the HUD 202 commitment is time sensitive. Construction
must begin within 18 months after an award notice is received. A six month extension may
be obtained for good cause. Alternative 2 will require a new phase1 environmental to be
completed and an amendment to HUD 202 requesting a one year or longer extension. The
co-sponsor, Retirement Housing, Inc. indicated this should not be a problem in obtaining.
Alternatives for consideration:
Alternative 1 - Proposed Assistance of $335,000
Use of Funds - Acquisition of Bakersfield Senior Center (for about a 1.8 acre site) land and
eligible off sites
1. Bakersfield Senior Center believes the original site causes traffic issues as an
elementary school is located directly across from the proposed project. This could
be mitigated by site design - this was determined from discussions with the co-
sponsor. There is an existing senior housing project on "P" Street in close proximity
to the school with little traffic impact.
2. Loss of Lowell Community Center Activities - See enclosed memo received from
Park and Recreation for issues and suggestions.
3. Loss of rental stream of $12,000 per year to Bakersfield Senior Center from
Recreation and Parks for lease of community center space. This is correct,
however, the Senior Center will be selling more land to the project under this
alternative.
4. Perception that project would be better designed if moved to the new site. Staff
believes there is adequate acreage available on the original site to accommodate
a well designed housing project. A Chart is attached depicting density of other
comparable senior projects in town. Also, an original site versus expanded site
analysis map is attached which compares the two alternatives. The new site will
increase the available land for construction by .8 acres.
5. Acquisition funds saved from the HUD 202 allocation could be used for other
construction/design amenities or be placed in an operating reserve for the project
providing living amenities such as game room furnishings, library, etc.
6. Open space and community activities will be provided by the existing Bakersfield
Senior Center which is directly adjacent to the proposed project and will be available
to the residents for use.
Alternative 2 - Proposed Assistance of $495,000 (for about a 2.6 acre site)
Use of Funds - City acquires additional land for the amended site and provides relocation
and demolition oversight services for the homes and apartments. Land is transferred to
Bakersfield Senior Center to be donated to the project in tri-party escrow agreement with
the new ownership entity. This alternative assumes eminent domain is not required for the
acquisitions.
1. The City's Redevelopment Agency would have to use eminent domain powers
if we encounter unwilling sellers or have property value disputes. The City has an
adopted policy with HUD that states that eminent domain will only be used as a last
resort method for federally funded projects. (Any eminent domain action may be
questioned by HUD, since the original site can accommodate the project scope and
has been previously approved by HUD under the 202 program.)
2. BSC has concerns of crime activity in houses and apartments proposed to be
taken out (police statistics indicate a 66% drop in crime in that immediate
neighborhood in the past 18 months). Homes and' apartments proposed to be
demolished are in fair condition and occupied.
3. Cost savings over the original proposal can be achieved by using staff to do the
acquisition and relocation activities. City staff analysis confirmed lower estimates
on demolition costs, relocation and property values (informal appraisals were
conducted using the comparable sales approach).
4. No funds will be available for operating reserves or project amenities from
construction savings (none are currently anticipated according to co-sponsor cost
estimates).
Lastly, a copy of the formal agreement between the Bakersfield Senior Center and
Retirement Housing, Inc as to the responsibilities of each co-sponsor has not been
provided to the City for review. This information, along with a few outstanding items has
been requested from the Bakersfield Senior Center in our recent correspondence. It is our
understanding that a new non-profit entity must be created to own and manage the project
upon completion.

A. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding Bakersfield Senior Housing Project
on Fourth Street and CDBG/HOME/Housing Set A. Ide financial assistance
Economic/Community Development Director Donna Kunz explained that this request is foran additional
$280,000 bringing the applicants total request to $560,000. CHDO funds are available for the first
request for $280,000 to build 80 Iow-lncome units of housing for seniors. The applicants are now
requesting an additional $280,000 for acquisition of adjoining tots to shift the project 110 feet north. This
shift will allow the existing recreation building, after school programs and parking lot to remain.
Staff has met with the applicants and is recommending positive consideration of the extra land purchase;
however, all of the HOME allocations for next year are pre-committed, so we do not have a budget on
hand t~ accommodate this request in the form of a cash grant; Staff requested the Committee's
concurrence to work with rne applicants to structure some kind of flr~nclng plan (a note or loan) to allow
them to proceed and then phasing the funding when it is available,
Mr. Lynn Edwards and Mr. Vernon Strong spoke regarding their pro, oct. The Bakersfield Senior Center
and Retirement Housing Foundation, co-applicants, received their entitlement for a HUD Section 202
grant award of $6.75 million in November 2000. Time ls an issue as HUD established a time frame of
18 months for the project to be completed.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE

The Committee unanimously approved allocating $280,000 of CHDO funds for the Bakersfield Senior
Housing Project and directed staff to meet with the applicants to assist them in~working out some type
of financing for the additional $280,000 being requested. When completed, the Committee directed staff
to prepare and forward the documents to the City Council.
B. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding amendment to KCEOC Agreement/
CDBG Action Plan
On December 13, 2000, the City Council approved an agreement with Kern County Economic
Opportunity Coq)oration (KCEOC) for $255,000 for acquisition of an 18 acre pamel on Washington Street
and Feliz Drive. The property has been annexed to the City and escrow will be closing in two to three
weeks.
This amendment is .for the second Installment approved-by the Council .last year as part of the Action
Plan, which provides $275,000 of addi~onal CDBG funds toward the design, engineering and construction
of the facility. Approval of this amendment will keep the project moving forward. It was noted that the
City's Property Manager is working with KCEOC on their relocation, as it will free up the current location
for additional Centennial Garden parking.
The Committee unanimously approved the amendment, which will increase the agreement to $530,000.
Staff was direCted to_complete the amendment to the agreement and forward to the Council for approval.
C. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding request received from Bethany
Services for the City to consider transferring ownership of the Bakersfield Homelee~ Center,
16o0 E. Truxtun Avenue, to Bethany Sen4ces
The City received a request from Bethany Services to transfer the ownership of the Bakersfield Homeless
Center to them. In 1990, Bethany Services, a non-profit corporation, entered Into a lease agreement with
the City to lease the Homeless Center from the City for an annual rent of $1.00 for the purpose of
providing food, emergency shelter and transitional services to the .homeless.
Mr. Louis Gill spoke regarding their request. Bethany Services would like to have ownership of the facility
in order to purchase land and expand the facility to accommodate the increase of single women .with
children and families by providing larger segregated areas. Ownership of.the property would allow them
to obtain financing for the expansion and establish a line of credit for operating expenses.
Economic Development Director Donna Kurtz stated that staff is recommending approval of their request,
but recommended covenants or restrictions be added to the deed because the original source of funding
was block grants that are restricted to .Iow and moderate individuals, and services for the homeless were
allowed.
Mr. Gill stated that the loan they will be applying for has some of the same restrictions and their long-term
plans are to provide services to the homeless.
The Committee unanimously approved Bethany Services' request to convey ownership of the Bakersfield
HomeJess Center property to them, but directed staff to meet with Bethany Services staff and their t~nk
lenders to work out language that will allow appn3val of their loan, continued use as a homeless center
and an equity share provision on any future sale of the property. After the details are work out, staff was
directed [~ prepare and forward the documents to the City Council

D. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding request from Bruce Dolgin for
Conditional Use Permit exception to operate Sno-Shack shaved Ice kiosks In C-1 zones
Mr. Bruce Dolgin.spoke regarding his reques,t to continue operating his Sno-Shack shaved.ice kiosks in
a C-1 zone. Last year, he thought the ordinance had been changed to allow operating in a C-1 zone as
stated in the first reading, but at the second reading of the ordinance, it was changed to a C-2 (which
corrected an error). Due to the confusion, the City issueda temporary conditional use permit for last year
so he could operate at two Rite Aid locations, which were received well and very successful. Although
his business falls under a transient business with the City, he feels his business locations are established
over a long-te~m and he would like to see a change in the ordinance to allow him to continue operating
his two locations in the C-1 zone.
Staff explained that Transient Outdoor Businesses are allowed to operate in C-2 or less.restrictive zones
and when the term of the ordinance was changed from 90 to 180 days, it was always intended that it
remain in a C-2 zone. However, due to the confusion between the first and second reading of the
ordinance and to resolve the situation last season, Mr. Dolgin was granted, at no cost to him, two 180-
day Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) that expired at the end of October. A CUP could be issued that
would allow Mr. Dolgin to keep operating his two sites in their present C-1 zone, with notification to
residents within 300 feet of the site. However, it is very expensive, $1,325 per'location.
The Committee did not want to impair the integrity of the zoning ordinance or go through the process of
amending the ordinance. Due to the odginal confusion, the Committee recommended that Mr. Dolgin
reapply for the CUP's and that the City absorb half of the cost. Mr. Dolgin agreed with the
recommendation. The Committee unanimously approved the recommendation and directed staff to
follow through with Mr. Dolgin.
E. Committee discussion and adoption of 2001 Budget and Finance Committee meeting
schedule.
The Committee unanimously adopted the calendar, with the provision that if scheduling conflicts occur,
meetings can be canceled and rescheduled at the direction of the Committee Chair.
F. Committee review and recommendation on financial and audit reports:
1. Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
(This item has previously been approved by the Council to meet legal reporting dates.)
Finance Director Gregory Klimko bdefed the Committee. It was noted that the format of the
CAFR will be changing dramatically due to the implementation of GASB 34 (Government
Accounting Standards Board) to put government entities on more of a measurable basis with
private business. The reporting will stay the same for the coming year, but will change format
for FY 2001-02. Committee Chair Maggard stated it was discussed a year ago the possibility
of changing the governmental fund accounting method that we use on accounting for
Centennial Garden activities. The Finance Director explained that with the implementation of
GASB 34 a year from now, it will be presented differently, more of an enterprise fund -
propriety fund accounting. However, when this new accounting format is implemented, there
will be a downside as It will make it appear in the General Fund like it has huge losses, when
in fact it bglances every year.

The Committee unanimously accepted the audit report as filed.
2. Centennial Garden.Financial Statements
(This item has previously been approved 'by the Council to meet legal repoAing dates.) The
Finance Director gave an overview of the financial operations of the Garden. The financial
picture, which does not include the debt service or depreciation, is improving every year. The
Convention center operated with losses every year, With the opening of Centennial Garden
and contracting with professional management (currently SMG), the net loss for last year was
$227,000; net loss the pdor year was $594,000, the year before with City management of the
Convention Center the operating loss was $1,137,000, for an improvement of approximately
$900,000.
Committee Chair Maggard stated he has concerns that in the City's financial statement we
don't match the debt service payment against the revenues from the ol~ration of the Center.
it was discussed that there are revenues attributable to the Garden, as the City can now book
many large events, that a financial statement does not articulate, such as Transient
Occupancy Tax generated, sales tax, nearby redevelopment opportunities, visitors to local
restaurants and retail shops, and other revenues that are not quantifiable.
Committee Chair Maggard stated that perhaps it would serve to have a .memo for. reference to .
answer questions-that could show the financial progress the City has made to lower the deficit or
a spreadsheet, and show some of the other benefits the City receives. It was discussed that the
City has not had a year since the Garclen was constructed in which the City did not adjust the size
of staff to deal with increased population, there have been no cutbacks or restrictions in normal
business activities and the Garden was absorbed without detriment to any City operations.
The Committee unanimously accepted the audit report as filed.
3. Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance with Contra~uel Requirements relative to
the Bakersfield Subregional Wastewater Management Plan for FY ended June :~0, 2000.
This is a compliance audit which is required as part of an agreement between the City and the
County service agencies. It provides a measurement that the City is 'in compliance wi~ the
Wastewater Management Plan. The Committee unanimously accepted the audit report and Itwas
forwarded to the Council.
4. 1999-00 Transportation Development Act Funds Financial Statements
Public Works staff gave a bdef overview. Kern COG contracts with an accounting firm to provide
a compliance audit of all the agencies that receive Transportation Development Act Funds. This
includes Article 3 and Article 8 funds. It was noted that Article 3 money can be applied for everyyear
and used for the Bike Path, which has been done In the past, and Article 8 money is being used for
maintenance at the Amtrak Station. The Committee unanimously accepted the audit report and it
was forwarded to the Council.
5. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 5:20 p.m.

Subject: Fwd: Lowell Memo
See Attached memo. My recommendation to A.T wil be to relocate the Lowell program.
DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION AND PARKS
DATE: September 27, 2001
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Stan Ford, Director of Recreation and Parks
SUBJECT: Lowell Center
Attached is a memo from Linda McVicker that describes some issues at the
Lowell center. The structural and maintenance problems have been ongoing
and we have been told that the senior center is not in a position to make
needed repairs. In addition, the senior center staff has advised that the
Lowell building is on the site of their new housing project.
Since I received her memo, I asked to Linda to meet with the principal of
McKinley school (across the street) to find out the potential of relocating our
program to the school and possibly having our mobile program there. Linda
indicated that the principal is interested in both the mobile program and
allowing us to use the school cafeteria but not until the next school year.
I believe that since its inception, the Lowell program has been very
successful and continues to meet a community need. However, the physical
size and layout of the facility limits programming opportunities and creates
challenges with providing proper supervision. With the addition of the
maintenance problems, the facility is no longer suitable for our program.
It is my recommendation that we relocate our program to McKinley school,
or some other suitable site as soon as possible. This move will allow us to
provide a needed level of programming and supervision for our participants,
while also making it easier for the senior center to deal with the needed
repairs or removal of the building.

DATE: August 22, 2001
TO: Stan Ford, Director of Recreation & Parks
FROM: Linda McVicker, Recreation Supervisor
SUBJECT: LOWELL NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY CENTER
The Lowell Neighborhood Community Center is badly in need of repair. The roof is leaking, water
from the sprinklers has warped the floor in the game room, the heating system is inefficient and
outdated, there is water damage and dry rot in the office and storage area, several posts that hold up
the roof were replaced and several more need to be replaced, the roof over the back .office area is
concave and in need of repair, the gate between the buildings needs to be replaced, and the outside
of the facility needs to be painted.
We currently have approximately 25 to 35 participants attending on a dailybasis. During McKinley
School's summer break, the attendance at the Lowell Center was between 15 to 20 participants a day.
Programing is limited at the center due to the small size of the playground and game room. Only two
structured activities may be held at the site at one time. The.types of activities we currently provide
at the center include arts & crafts, reading, tutoring, board games, table games, sewing projects,
science projects, cooking, Girl Scouts, outside games, basketball, tetherball and special events.
In order to provide the highest quality facilities and programs possible, the center needs major repair
and renovation. There are several options that could better serve the existing clientele which would
be more cost effective than renovating a building. One is to utilize our mobile recreation program
at Lowell Park. All of the current activities could be conducted except cooking. Other activities
such as softball, flag football, soccer, volleyball and multiple activities at one time could all be held "
in a park setting. During inclement weather, we could bus participants to the Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. Center or the PAL Center or conduct activities at McKinley School.
Another option is to bus participants on a daily basis to the PAL Center or to the Dr. Martin Luther
King J.r. Center. Participants could choose which facility they wish to attend or attend both. The
PAL center offers arts & crafts, tutoring, community outreach, movie night, D.A.R.E., boxing, and
'soccer. The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center offers arts & crafts, reading, tutoring, board games,
table games, cooking, outside games, basketball, volleyball, tetherball, swimming, volleyball, soccer,
scooter racing, tennis, computer games, build-a-bike, intemet access, cheerleading class, hip-hop
· dance class, outside water games, and special events. Both centers are able to offer several activities
at the same time.
There is also the possibility of utilizing McKinley School. At the school site, we could offer all
activities currently conducted at the Lowell Center. Programing would improve due to the added
space. Our participants could also take part in the after-school sports league we conduct at other
ai~er-school sites. The program would likely see an increase in attendance since the participants
would not have to leave the school grounds.
Rather than going to the expense of completely renovating the Lowell Neighborhood Community
Center and paying rental fees for the facility, I would suggest we consider more cost effective
options. The other options would also increase the amount and variety ofprograming.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
October 2, 2001
To the Board of Directors of the
Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc.
I have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc., (a
nonprofit organization) as of June 30, 2001, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses,
and cash flows for the year then ended. The financial statements are the responsibility of the
Organization's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based upon my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those' standards require
that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc., Inc as of June 30, 2001 and the changes in its net
assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Respectfully yours,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2001
NOTE I - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Bakersfield Senior Center (the center) is presented
to assist in understanding the Center's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are

addition, the Center has been determined by the Internal Revenue service not to be a private foundation
within the meaning of Section 509(a).

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All net assets and revenues, expenses, gains,
and losses are considered unrestricted. No donor-imposed restrictions were made in fiscal year ending

Bakersfield Centennial Garden &
Convention Center
1001 Truxtun Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93301
We have audited the financial statements of Bakersfield Centennial Garden 8,:
Convention Center, ("the Facility") for the year ended June 30, 2001, and have issued our
report thereon dated August 15, 2001. Professional standards require that we provide you
with the following information related to our audit.
Our responsibility under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards
As stated in our engagement letter dated January 22, 2001, our responsibility, as
described by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable,
but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance and
because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that
material errors, fraud, or other illegal acts may exist and not be detected by us.
As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of SMG, Inc., ("SMG"). Such
considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to
provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement, we assessed the risk of SMG's compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. We concluded that the risk of such
material misstatement was sufficiently low and that it was not necessary to perform tests
of SMG's compliance with such provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants.

Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility for selection and use of appropriate accounting
policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise
management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The
significant accounting policies used by the Facility and SMG are described in Note 1 to
the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of
existing policies was not changed during the year ended June 30, 2001. We noted no
transactions entered into by the Facility during the year that were both significant and
unusual, and of which, under professional standards, we are required to inform you, or
transactions for which there is a lack of authority guidance or consensus.
Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements preparedby
management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and
current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are
particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because
of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those
expected. There are no significant accounting estimates affecting the financial
statements.
Significant Audit Adjustments
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a significant audit adjustment as
a proposed correction of the financial statements that, in our judgement, may not have
been detected .except through our auditing procedures. These adjustments may include
those proposed by us but not recorded by the Facility that could potentially cause future
financial statements to be materially misstated, even though we have concluded that such
adjustments are not material to the current financial statements. We proposed no audit
adjustments that could, in our judgement, either individually or in the aggregate, have a
significant effect on the Facility's financial reporting process.
..Disagreements.with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with
management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, conceming a
financial accounting, reporting or auditing matter that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements
arose during the course of our audit.
August 15, 2001

Consultations with Other Independent Accountants,
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing
and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a
consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Facility' financial
statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on
those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check
with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge,
there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Issues Discussed Prior to Retention of Independent Auditors
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting
principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the
Facility' auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our
professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing our
audit.
This information is intended solely for the use of the management of SMG, Inc. and the
City of Bakersfield and is not intended .to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these s~ecified~parties.

Indepen ' Report
SMG, Inc.
Bakersfield Centennial Garden & Convention Center
Bakersfield, California
We have audited the balance sheet of Bakersfield Centennial Garden & Convention Center as of
June 30, 2001, and the related statements of revenue and expenses, changes in retained deficit and
cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's
facility management company, SMG, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Bakersfield Centennial Garden & Convention Center as of June 30, 2001, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

I Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature Business:
of
The City of Bakersfield ("the City") owns the Bakersfield Centennial Garden and
Convention Center ("the Facilities"). The Centennial Garden is an arena, built by
the City, which was completed and began operations in October 1998. It is the only
building of its kind in the Bakersfield area.
On August 6, 1997, the City issued a request for proposals for services prior to the
opening of the Centennial Garden and the operation and management of the
Facilities thereafter. In an agreement dated January 28, 1998, the City contracted
with Ogden Entertainment, Inc. ("the Company") for these services for an initial
period of five years. The contract term was subsequently extended .for an additional
five-year term and the agreement is effective through June 30, 2008. The Company
worked during the January 14, 1998 through June 30, 1998 pre-opening phase and
assumed management responsibilities of the Facilities on July 1, 1998.
The Company was hired by the City for its expertise in the management, operation
marketing public assembly Company currently manages
and
of
Facilities.

The Company sold its entertainment business division to ARAMARK Corporation
effective June 2, 2000. The operation of the Facility is still being conducted under
the Company's name. All contracts and leases, with the exception of the
administrative services agreement with the City, are transferable to ARAMARK
Corporation. See Note 4 for terms of the administrative services agreement. The
City has approved the transfer of the administrative services agreement to
ARAMARK Corporation.
On September 13, 2000, the Company sold and assigned all of it's rights,
obligations, liabilities and indemnities as manager of the Facilities to SMG, Inc. for
$10. All contracts and leases, with the exception of the administrative service
agreement with the city, are transferable to SMG, Inc. See Note 4 for terms of the

The activity of the Facilities is recorded in a special revenue fund of the City's
accounting records. The City owns all the assets of the Facilities and accordingly,
all amounts related to the operation of the Facilities belong to the City. The
Company has a fiduciary responsibility under the management agreement to
maintain and operate the Facilities in the best interests of the City and the
community.
Fund accounting:
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations (a) that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the intent of the
governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing
goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or
recovered primarily through user charges, or, (b) where the governing body has
decided that periodic determination of revenue earned, expenses incurred, and/or net
income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control,
accountability, or other purpose.
Revenue Recognition:

premium seat contracts are recognized over contract
Revenues
from

an agent of the event holder at the on site box office location and through telephone,
internet and outlet locations. All revenues from the sale of tickets belong to the event
holder. The ticket sales are recorded as deferred revenue when sold. After the event

the time of sale and are recognized at the time of event settlement.
Event revenues
Revenues from Facilities' events such'as facilities rent, direct event expense
reimbursements, concession commissions, parking and merchandise are recognized at

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned and
expenses are recognized when incurred.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand and amounts with banks.

During the normal course of business, the City pays expenses that are allocated to the
operation of the Facilities. These expenses include payroll and related expenses for the
City employees and rent and utilities for the office space used by the Company. The

thereafter until the agreement has terminated.

In addition to the base fee, the Company receives an incentive relative to the amount
of the reduction, if any, in net operating loss for each fiscal year. The incentive is
calculated based upon the net operating income or loss after the base fee. The
Company receives an incentive of 1) 10% of the first $350,000 in net operating loss
reduced; 2) 20% of the next $500,000 in net operating loss reduced; 3) 30% of any net
operating surplus in any one fiscal year. All of the incentive calculations are based
upon a projected annual net operating loss of $850,000. Beginning July 1, 2003, the
incentive is $25,000 for every year the net operating loss is below $300,000. If the net

incentive fees.

Facilities maintained by the Company. The accounting records for the Facilities must
be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
industry standards. The Company is required under the agreement with the City to
have an annual audit at the end of the fiscal year.

or contract with others to operate concession and catering services for the Facilities
during the initial five-year term of the contract, effective through June 30, 2003. The
City has not extended this portion of the management agreement. The Company has
contracted with its food and beverage division to operate these services. The food and
beverage division is a related entity under common management at the Company's
corporate level. Operations of this food and beverage division are not included in the
Facilities' financial
statements.
The Facility is entitled to receive 35% of the first $1.2 million in gross concession
receipts and 40% of receipts in excess of $1.2 million and 15% of gross concession
receipts to the suites. For the year ended June 30, 2001 the Facility received $626,054
in gross concession and catering receipts from the Food and Beverage division.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered SMG, Inc.'s internal control over financial
reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial
reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material
weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of
the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements
in amounts that would be material in to
relation
the
financial
statements
being
audited
may
occur
and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and
its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, others within the
organizatior~ and the City of Bakersfield and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than/hese specified parties.
