DEFERRED BUSINESS A. CONVENTION CENTER HVAC At the March 6, 1995 meeting, the Committee asked staff to initiate an RFQ process for the retrofitting of the Convention Center HVAC system. Staff reviewed APPROVED APRTL 10, 1995 FILE COPY AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE Monday, March 27, 1995 Page -2- the steps of the design/build process which will require the consultant to not only be responsible for the entire construction of the project, but be available at least one year after its completion to ensure that the system provides the service for which the City contracted. Responses to the RFQ are due by April 14, at which time staff will review and interview a team to undertake the project. The cost for the project will range from $2.2 to $2.8 million. Staff was asked to develop a process whereby future expenditures of this magnitude would be on a replacement/depreciation schedule so that one-time money would not have to be earmarked all at once. 6. NEW BUSINESS A. CONSOLIDATED PLAN This item was referred to the Committee to review various issues regarding staff's allocation recommendations. The Committee took public comment from the Alliance Against Family Violence and the Community Service Organization. The following items were discussed and recommended by the Committee: 1) Increase the recommended allocation to the Alliance Against Family Violence from $14,950 to $44,950, with the additional $30,000 to be allocated to assist in obtaining a larger facility; 2) Reduce the allocation to the Bakersfield Business Port Incubator from $200,000 to $170,000 to offset the increased allocation to the Alliance. Staff will propose deferring the remaining $30,000 funding for the Business Port until the 1996/97 fiscal year; 3) Reaffirm the allocation of $150,000 to the Community Service Organization for remodeling their new facility and retrofitting where necessary to comply with ADA standards; 4) Investigate the legality of providing an incentive to local property owners to fund rehabilitation projects for multi-family units; and 5) Implement a process whereby staff would monitor and report on the status of those properties including maintenance which have received rehab loans. The Consolidated Plan is scheduled for adoption at the June 28 Council meeting. Amendments to the Plan can be addressed by Council shortly after adoption. B. POLICY ON CDBG REHABILITATION LOANS Staff provided the Committee with information outlining the success of its housing loan portfolio with respect to defaulted loans. To this date, only three loans have gone bad, two of which the City has recovered its investment, and one currently pending at $27,000. The Committee asked that staff ensure that the following policy provisions were enacted: 1) Any time a property changes title, the loan is AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE Monday, March 27, 1995 Page -3- called; 2) Any time a property is sold, the loan is called; and 3) Whenever it is confirmed that the person receiving the loan is not directly occupying the property, the loan is called. C. SENIOR CENTER LEASE Mr. John Pounds from the Bakersfield Senior Center spoke regarding the agreement it holds with the City to lease out the storage facility as a way to gain additional revenues for maintenance and operations. The storage facility lease from the Senior Center to the City expired as of March 27, 1995. It was recommended that the lease be extended for 90 days. The Committee asked staff to move forward with noticing the Center of termination of the storage facility lease effective July 1, 1995. The provisions of the current lease will remain in effect until July 1. During the next 90 days, staff will review with the Senior Center all issues related to the facilities and associated leases to bring this issue to a full resolution. The Committee wanted to make sure it was understood that the Senior Center lease on the main facility is not in jeopardy from the proposed action on the storage facility. D. KMC SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER PROGRAM The City currently participates in a sexual assault nurse examiner program with Memorial Hospital. KMC shared with the Committee their program called SANE. Police Department staff indicated that since KMC does offer the same service as Memorial, they have no problem with utilizing both programs for the service. Having two programs recognizes that the victims may prefer one hospital over the other, and provides for service at the hospital that may be in closer proximity to the victim. Staff indicated that they will propose funding based on providing the service from both or either hospital. 7.
