He stated he was in the process of acquiring a charter, and they would need a place to play. I informed him that at that time, not knowing what our scheduling needs would be, I could not commit a diamond at the Complex for exclusive Little League use. I suggested to Hr. Keyes that instead of seeking to move into the Complex, he should investigate the possibility of utilizing the Bakersfield College softball diamond. This diamond, by agreement with the' Community College District, gives the City exclusive use of the facility. I informed Mr. Keyes of this fact and indicated to him that the Recreation Division had no intention of using the diamond thereby freeing it up for public use. I told him to contact the school (B.C.) to reserve the diamond and that I would verify our intent not to use the facility. There was no more contact at this time. On November 29, 1990, I was informed by Charlie Graviss that an issue had been referred to the Convention Center and Community Services Committe regarding facilities for Little League. I called Mr. Keyes and he stated he had talked to Pat Smith on this matter. He said that he had a proposal written up, and he would bring it to me after his sister put it on the computer. That was the last I heard from Mr. Keyes until I called him on February 6, 1991 and left a message and then called him again on February 7, 1991, at which time he informed me that he had changed his mind, and possibly, he would pursue the matter next year.

There was much comment from committee members regarding the programming. Member Sawyer felt that the programs were not adequately publicized.
