6. NEW BUSINESS
A. POLICY ON INSTALLATION OF CURB AND GUTTER
The City has not been recovering the associated administrative costs on the tax
rolls for curb and gutter construction requested by residents. Staff proposed that the
City begin charging an 8% administrative fee to cover the costs of design and
administration. The Committee questioned potential revenue generation and the
impact the charge would have. Staff will conduct more research including
contacting other cities and present a revised proposal at the next Committee
meeting.
B. REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE FROM KERN-TECH
Kern-Tech is a tool and die fabricator which started in Bakersfield in 1995 and
serves customers primarily in the aerospace industry. Kern-Tech is proposing to
add 18 new jobs within a 48-month period. The Committee was in favor of the
proposed economic development assistance and commended the company for its
commitment to fully repay the $170,000 interest free loan over a 5-year period. The
Committee recommended City Council approval.
C. PROPOSED FY 1997-98 CDBG/HOME CONSOLIDATED PLAN
Staff presented written information, which is attached, on the proposed FY 97-98
Consolidated Plan which details the projects recommended for funding from CDBG,
HOME and ESG Funds. Several agency representatives spoke on behalf of their
proposals. The Committee recommended City Council approval for the CDBG and
ESG funding proposal and recommended, with Councilmember Rowles abstaining
due to a conflict of interest, the funding proposal for HOME funds. Staff will also
forward to Council a CDBG amendment in the amount of $340,000.
