MULTI-USE FACILITY Frank and Marion Collins and George Nickel presented a wdtten proposal for a Mesa Matin minor league stadium site. They offered to have the site built for approximately $8.5 million. Staff also presented the Committee with a matdx showing financing information for the four sites initially under consideration. County representatives expressed concern as to their participation in the financing of a multi-use facility. Their position is firm relative to having the City secure the loan with stated assets. The Committee agreed to submit proposed language for three of the remaining four sites for Council's selection. Councilmember McDermott will work with the City Manager to put together final financing figures for the downtown site. 6. NEW BUSINESS None 7. ADJOURNMENT Adjourned 5:40 p.m. Representatives from Kern County: Supervisor Barbara Patdck and County Administrative Officer Joel Heinrichs. TO: FROM: George W. Nickel, Jr. DATE: November 7, 1995 SUBJECT: UPDATE ON PROJECTED COSTS AND INCOME ON THE MESA MARIN AREA BASEBALL STADIUM The estimate on cost of the complete stadium and access thereto was given by Marion Collins of Mesa Matin Raceway and the figure that he was able to set forth was $8.5 million, which is, of course, a much more attractive figure than what has been projected for the other potential stadium sites in the Bakersfield area. To determine how this investment can be made and serviced, I understand that Kern County has indicated that there are funds available for funding the stadium. At first they indicated that funds could be put up at 4% interest per year paid thereon for a 10 year period, after which the purchase of the stadium would need to be made for the $8.5 million price; however, I further understand that Kern County is now talking hbout something more in the range of about 5.5 % on the investment of $8.5 million annually. The facts of life are that the 4 % figure would appear to be more realistic. I will now note below the income per year that is projected by Jack Patton of the Blaze Baseball Club, which will be the likely operator of the stadium and the Blaze Baseball Club that will be brought in there. I will enumerate below the income that Jack Patton projects annually as a minimum income for the stadium. 1. 12 luxury booths at $8,000 per year = $ 96,000 2. Parking at $1 per car = $100,000 3. Tickets at $1 = $200,000 TOTAL $39_62K~ If the stadium construction price is $8.5 million, the charge at 4% per year to Kern County would come to $340,000.00, which does seem realistic. If the charge is 5%, the cost would come to $425,000.00. In addition to these figures, Jack Patton indicated that a percentage of the gross income might also be set forth for further income to offset stadium costs, etc. GWN/rjr ?r~.-~ A.

Alan Tandy FR: Fraruk & ~rion Collins ,~E: Proposal to Construct Minor [~ague Baseball Stadium As we [%ave discussed, we are interested in building the proposed minor league bas~'.~oall stadium in order to keep the California League playing baseball in ..B~ersfield. Over the last several we~s, we have researched the costs ~nd issues concerning the proposed ballpark and feel confide~nt t_he ~e_sa ['.~rin site, the nu~ber two site selected by t~he consultants, should be formally considered as the preferred site. After reviewing the blueprints used to develop ~:~verick Stadium in Adelanto, California, we offer t/ne following proposal: The facility would be built on a 30 acre parcel %~est of ~,~esa ~.,.~rin Race~ay and south of Highway 178; ~.'~orking blueprints to be used are the plans used ~or ~verick Stadium; The facility will seat ~., 000 %-;i~ foL~qdation to accommodate 6,000; ~,fter review ~nd suggestions from professionals, suggested modifica- tions to tine plans are to add 500 additional seats to expand the park from 3,500 to 4,000, site t_he clubhouse to the left and right infield, include storage in the club.house, and eliminate the ban~.~et hall ~d patio. Completion costs will be $~.5~ Not only is the site already conducive for t/~e development of additional recreational uses, but the costs are more affor~J_~le t~hs~n previous sites proposed. ~';e hope the city of B~kersfield and Hesa Marin will become future partners on t~his project. 11000 Kern Canyon Road Bakersfield, California 93306 P.O.

A $5 per year assessment could raise $600,000 per year. B) Increase the City capital contribution from future savings or pledge the General Fund. C) Assume higher attendance, thus higher annual revenues. D) Increase the entq/fee from $1.00 per person to something higher such as $1.50 - $2.00. Each $1.00 raises $300,000 - $350,000 per year if attendance is not reduced by the higher costs. E') Increase donations and contributions substantially. F) Pledge or sell other assets to service or pay the loan. We do own surplus property valued at between $685,000 - $995,000. It, however, has not proven easy to market. G) Some combination of A-F. H) Recognize that with the level of participation offered by Kern County and, to date, the baseball franchise, this is no longer a viable proposal to put before the voters. Delay any ballot placement until the pdvat~ sector, franchise and/or County offers more. I) Pursue further the legal, contractual and CalTrans questions on the Mesa Matin proposal to determine their feasibility. Mesa Matin - Proposal from Frank Collin-~ Quoted pdce $8,500,000 Includes 30 acres, 4,000 seats, 1,500 parking spaces, entry off Highway 178. Does not include: changes, financing costs, permit costs, studies, CalTrans imposed improvements on Highway 178. Questions, concerns: 1) Do they have the legal right to use plans from the Adelanto Stadium? 2) CaiTrans requirements unknown/potentially costly. 3) Many legal questions including prevailing wage issues. 4) Prevailing wage issues would negate union donations built into financial plan, and could generate litigation and risk. 5) To seriously pursue, a much more detailed contract would be required. 6) Interest during construction, which is in addition to the $8.5 million, is estimated around $600,000 ±, traffic study $30,000:1=, permits $175,000 ±, for a total addition to the $8.5 million of $805,000+. 7) There is a question of the impact of the racetrack noise and how it may impact the fans at the adjacent facility. 8) Deficiencies exist in Adelanto stadium, including the following: a) Seating bowl is 3,500, which is less than PBA-required 4,000 seats. b) The number of toilets will have to increase with seating increase, per building code. c) Concession stands are at minimum ratios. More points of sale required for increased capacity. d) No vendors' areas are provided. e) No central commissary food preparation and food storage is provided. f) Souvenir stand is 1/5 the size typically provided now. g) No enclosed stadium suites are provided. Six open-air skyboxes are there now. h) No dedicated secudty or first aid space is provided. i) Press box is okay but minimal. j) Team offices are 1/2 the size typically provided. k) Home and Visitor Clubhouse are pre-PBA and probably meet minimum requirements for existing facilities, but question whether they meet minimum requirements for new facilities. I) Hitting/pitching tunnels were added later and not part of original design. m) No space is provided for lockers and restrooms of day-of game employees, i.e., concessions, security, ushers, ticket takers. n) Playing field is fully irrigated but not fully drained. Frank A Collins 400 North Chester Avenue Bakersfield, Ca. 93308 PH~ 805 399-4439 Dear Mr. Allen Tandy and members of the City Council As you know i am interested in building ~ and have already gotten plans to build, the-new Baseball Stadium. Hopefully this letter will help you with any questions you may have of me, about this Stadium. My plan is to build a 4,000 seat Stadium, on.a 30 acre': site, west of Mesa Marin Raceway and south of Highway 178. This Stadium will be built directly from the Mavrick Stadium blueprints, in Adelanto California. I have spoken to many of the ball players and owners~of this Stadium, and have decided to make some changes in these blue prints. This will insure a :better Stadium, I believe, for the players and the crouds. My plans are to build this Stadium ~ith 500 more seats than are on ~he Mavrick blue prints. I can also add future seats above or out on left and right fields, because the Stadium will be built for this future growth, in its original foundation. i plan to move also the Club House Locker Rooms to left and right fields. My plan would be to Use the Mavrick club house as storage instead, and eliminate the Banquet Hall and Patio area in left field. The Price Will Be- $8,500.000.00 · , ~u,_t .... include these tkings: 30 acres of !and 4,000 Sear Stadium 15 acres of paved parking (1,500 spaces) Paved ent~! off of Hwy 178 Entry off of Hwy 184, to be through Mesa Matin Parking lot · If Ca!-Trans approves and entry off of Hwy 178, i will also widen Hwy 178 curb and gutter that entry. Only additional costs from this bid will be: Any changes the City may require Financing cost for this project The cost of permits and study that may. be needed to build Payment Proposals: Payment on monthly progress Payment on completion Payment due any time during a 10 year lease option I would like to have a meeting with the City Management and City Council, at your convenience, to answer any questions they may have at this time.

Rojas, Director of Public Works//~~~ DATE: December 4, 1995 SUBJECT: STATUS OF FREEWAY AND STATE HIGHWAY PROJECTS METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD AREA Attached for your information is the November report prepared by this department regarding the status of the various freeway and State highway projects in the metropolitan area. The previous reports also provide additional background on the various projects. December 4, 1995 STATUS OF FREEWAY AND STATE ItlGHWAY PROJECTS METROPOLITAN BAKERSFIELD AREA Public Works Department Marian P. Shaw, CE III This report is intended to update the members of the City Council on the progress of various freeway and State Highway projects in thc metropolitan area since the October, 1995 status report. Kern River Corridor IKern River Freeway) At thc Council Workshop of November 29, 1995, Alan McCucn, the Deputy District Director for Planning and Development, CaiTrans District 6, gave an update on thc status of thc Kern River Freeway. The basic state highway project funding mechanism, thc State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is out of cash. This shortfall is thc result of thc following: thc emergent? work for thc Loma Pricta and Northridgc earthquakes: the statcwidc seismic retrofit of 2,500 bridges: and thc failure of $2 billion in Rail Bond measures. As a result, thc California Transportation Commission (CTC) has directed a review of thc STIP to determine which projects can bc delayed. Since thc State Route 58 Alternate Study is a project with only the right-of-way funded in thc current STIP, it is considered a primary candidate for deferral. Currently, Kern COG is planning to propose that the right-of-way funding for this project bc split and postponed from thc 1996 STIP - half in thc 1998 STIP and half in thc 2002 STIP. CalTrans District 6 is proposing that thc funds stay in thc 1996 STIP: that thc adoption study bc finished: and that a "useable segment" of thc ultimate freeway bc considered for future funding. This "useable segment" would probably be a four lane expressway connecting Truxtun Avenue at Coffee Road and Stockdalc Highway 1/2 mile west of AHcn Road. Me. McCucn requested that the Council pass a Resolution in support of this plan and forward it to Kern COG for presentation to thc CTC. A draft copy of thc resolution is attached for your review: it is intended for the December 13, 1995 Council meeting. State Route 178 (Crosstown Freeway) There has been no change in the status of the Crosstown Freeway from that last reported. State Route 99 Work on thc widening project is progressing according to schedule: thc recent strike has not adversely affected the overall schedule because the constraining portion has bccn the work in the Kern River. This river work was delayed duc to two problems: the Reclamation Board permit and too much water in the river. Both of these problems have bccn resolved and work in thc riverbed is underway. CalTrans has closed thc bike path at S.R. 99: it will remain closed for about six months while construction in thc riverbed next to thc bike path is underway. As of yet, thc City has received no official word on the proposed detour that was reported in the Bakersfield Californian. Freeway Status Report December 4, 1995 South Beltway The mapping and legal description for the preferred alignment has been completed. The preferred alignment for the South Beltway was sent to County Planning and Roads Departments for review on November 20, 1995. The City Planning Department will be preparing, the Request for Proposals for the Supplemental EIR this month. West Beltway There has been no change in the status of the West Beltway since the last report. Coffee Road Grade Separation City Project: The City's project is the widening to six lanes (although initially the street will be striped for four lanes only) of Coffee Road from Brimhall Road north 700 feet and from Rosedale Highway south 700 feet. The gap in the project will, for the time being, transition to the existing two lane road crossing the railroad lines. When the grade separation project is constructe~ all of Coffee Road between Brimhall Road and Rosedale Highway will be six lanes. This project will be awarded on December 13, 1995, to Griffith Construction, the apparent low bidder. Grade Separation Project: The Separation of Grade District adopted the Resolutions of Necessity on November 30, 1995. The District is in active discussion with both Sunland Oil and Pacific Gas & Electric regarding right-of-way acquisition. The District will file with the court for condemnation the first week of Janua,ry. This will start the 90 day clock to possession of the property. The District will be filing a report with the State Regional Water Quality Control Board in approximately two weeks. This report addresses the "near surface" contamination at the site and was required by the Board as a condition of the City's not being held secondarily liable for contamination. This report must be reviewed and processed by the State prior to any remediation work starting on the site. The design for this project is on schedule - the project should be ready to advertise for bids in late March/early April. FS: ~FREEII~IS.

Arterial roadways which were shown in the model operating at or above Level of Service (LOS) "C" as two-lane roadways are the responsibility of development and are not funded by this program. Therefore, two-lane collectors would also be the responsibility of development. Additionally, two-lane collector roadways whicl~ are needed to provide access to new developments are the responsibility of the developer per the Kern County Land Division Ordinance. If a collector was determined to require additional lanes to maintain LOS "C", the additional lanes may be funded by this program. However, prior to addition of the roadway to the Facilities Uat, a nexus such as additional model runs must be provided detailing this need. If you have any questions, please contact Barry Nienke of this office. Very truly yours, Craig M.
