Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Ms. Williams: The Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) and the member businesses it represents have monitored thc development of plans to construct a multi-usc sports complex in Bakersfield. As members of our organization reviewed the various proposals for a future multi-usc sports complex, it became evident that each would require substantial investment of public funds. At a time when government is in need of resources to fund essential government services, we believe that public support must be determined as to whether taxpayer revenues should be used to fund a non-essential project. Although our members agree that all proposals have merit, the GBCC Board of Directors urges you to consider the following suggestions: · Prqiect Comparisons - It is important that cost comparisons be evaluated for both the southwest and Sam L,cnn sites, so that differences in construction and other mfxastructure costs can be easily id~tified. · Funding Sources Identifi~ - ARer the identification of costs, funding sources must be identified and include the degree to which taxpayer revenues are to be put at risk. · Economic Benefits Detmnined - As a government official charged with representing a large and diverse constituency, it is recumbent upon you to give a clear indication of the economic benefits of developing such a sports complex. We believe that the public can fairly assess the merits of a multi-use sports complex, based upon cost comparison, revenue sources, identified risks, and economic benefits. We also believe that this decision should be made by the citizens of Bakersfield through the public voting process. The GBCC appreciates your dedication to the futura of Bakersfield and looks forward to working with you in this important project and future activities. We welcome your response to these recommendations and would be pleased to meet with you as well. Sincerely, Bernard J.

DEFERRED BUSINESS A. RESULTS OF PILOT SPEED HUMP PROGRAM Staff provided the committee with a report of the results. In general, the results were mixed. There was a motion to accept the report, with Councilmember Rowles dissenting. 6. NEW BUSINESS A. VEHICLE TRIP REDUCTION INCENTIVES Councilmember Rowles has been working with staff to find a way to reward large employees with offices along Truxtun Extension with incentives for meeting trip reduction goals. One suggestion was to reduce the requirement for parking for those companies who encourage carpooling and meet their goals. Currently, companies must request a modification from the Board of Zoning Adjustment to reduce parking requirements. The Committee asked staff to draft a proposal and ultimately an ordinance to address some adjustment based on the new air quality standards. A mechanism that monitors the successful attainment of established goals would need to be established. B. ADA RETROFIT OF COUNCIL CHAMBER Staff provided the Committee with a'listing of proposed renovations to the Council Chamber. Some are proposed to comply with the ADA, others are not as critical, but were proposed based on construction and economies of scale. The listing was divided into three priorities: Priority #1 to concentrate solely on ADA improvements; Priority #2 to implement ADA improvements and other amenities; and Pdority #3 for total renovation of the Chamber and ancillary facilities. The Committee asked staff to further define the highest priority items and provide a recommendation to the full Council. 7. ADJOURNMENT Adjourned 2:50 p.m. cc: Honorable Mayor and City Council GEVV:jp
