Adopted as submitted.
3, PUBLIC STATEMENTS
City Attorney Bart Thiltgen explained this is a special meeting. In accordance with the
Brown Act, a special meeting is limited to discuss exactly what is on the agenda. The
agenda today is to prioritize agenda items for the future Joint meeting. If the public
wants to speak on a particular.agenda item other than prioritization, they should speak
under public statements.
Dave Cross, architect, stated the high speed rail station location is one of the most
important things currently on the City/County agenda, as the station location will have
an effect on Bakersfield and .Kern. County for-the next 100 years, if not longer. The
High Speed Rail Authority has written they want to have the EIR completed by
mid-2003. The City and County need to get together on a location as soon as
possible, or most likely the High Speed Rail Authority will make the decision. He feels
very strongly that it should be located as close to downtown Bakersfield as possible.
Frank Ghezzi, architect, stated he has a masters degree in city planning and strongly
feels the high speed rail terminal should be as close as feasibly possible to the
downtown (Bakersfield)'and the Amtrak Station.

timing, he ranked this item high.
