GENERAL INFORMATION NOTICE
REGARDING CITY CENTER PROJECT
Januaw 31,2001
Dear Home Occupant,
The City of Bakersfield ("City") and the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency
("Agency") are working with Capital Vision Equities ("CVE") on a project known as the
California Avenue Senior Housing Project ("Project"). As a result of the Project, the
property you occupy may be acquired by the City, the Agency or CVE. This notice is to
inform you of your rights under the law. If the property that you occupy is acquired for the
Project and you are displaced, you may be eligible for relocation assistance under federal
or state relocation law. However, DO NOT MOVE NOW. This is not a notice to vacate the
premises. You should continue to pay your monthly rent or mortgage payment because
a failure to pay rent or mortgage payments could be cause for eviction or foreclosure and
loss of relocation assistance. You are urged not to move or sign any agreement to
purchase or lease a new unit before receiving formal notice of your eligibility for relocation
assistance. If you move or are evicted before receiving such notice, you may not receive
any assistance.
If the City, the Agency or CVE acquire the property you occupy and you are eligible
for relocation assistance, you will be given advisory services, including referrals to
replacement housing, and at least 90 days advance written notice of the date you will be
required to move. You will also receive a payment for moving expenses and may be
eligible for financial assistance to help you rent or buy a replacement house.
To date, the City has conducted two public meetings for property owners and
tenants within the Project area to discuss the Project and how it may affect residents and
businesses in the area. For those unable to attend the meetings, we would like to bdefiy
outline what to anticipate in the coming weeks.
Because the City and Agency may be assisting financially with the Project, CVE, the
City and the Agency must follow the law in providing relocation assistance to all owners or
tenants within the proposed Project area. CVE has selected the firm of Stanford Group,
Inc. to coordinate relocation services. This firm is an expert at relocation services and the
assistance provided for owners and tenants under the law.

(661) 326-3765 · Fax (661)328-1548 · TDD (661)324-3631
Over the next couple of weeks, two representatives from the Stanford Group - Ms.
Celie Stanford or Ms. Sharon Bates will be contacting you. Their first step will be to
conduct a pre-displacement interview. This interview will be used to determine what your
relocation needs are, and what they should be looking for in a replacement home or
business location. These pre-displacement interviews are crucial in determining your
relocation needs and assistance in order to ensure a successful project. We encourage
you to make every effort to meet with them personally or respond to their phones calls.
Relocation services are provided at no cost to owners or tenants. In the event that you are
considering retaining a representative to assist you in your move or relocation assistance,
you are advised to contact Ms. Stanford or Ms. Bates first. Failure to do so may cause you
to incur expenses which are not compensable by the City, the Agency or CVE. Ms.
Stanford and Ms. Bates can be contacted at:

Additionally, within the next thirty days, you may be contacted by one of CVE's real
estate agents -- Pattie Tibbs, Vernon Strong or Boyd Binninger. These agents will be
discussing the appraisals that were conducted and will be negotiating options to purchase
your property.
Again, this letter is for informational purposes only and is not a notice to vacate and
does not establish eligibility for relocation payments or other relocation assistance.

RELOCATION ASSISTANCE TO
DISPLACED BUSINESSES AND NON-PROFITS

This booklet describes the relocation payments and other relocation assistance
provided under the California Relocation Assistance Act (Government Code Section 7260,
et seq.) and the State regulations for relocation assistance (25 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 6000-
6198) to businesses and non-profits ("businesses" herein) displaced by the Developer or
Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") or the City of Bakersfield's ("City")
acquisition of properties for the CITY CENTER PROJECT ("the Project"). Your business
is in an area which may be acquired for this purpose. Relocation payments and assistance
under federal statutes and regulations are similar and will not be separately discussed in
this document.
If you are notified that you will be displaced by the Project, it is important that you
do not move before you learn what you must do to receive the relocation payments and
other assistance to which you are entitled.
This booklet may not answer all of your questions. If you have more questions
about your relocation, contact the City's Relocation Agent, Janice Scanlan at (661) 326-
3721. Ask your questions before you move; afterwards it may be too late.

advisory relocation assistance, including:
A. Relocation Advisory Assistance.
B. Payment for Your Business Movin.q Expenses. You will receive either:

Reestablishment Expenses. You may be entitled to reasonable costs of
reestablishing your business at its new location in an amount not to exceed
$10,000.

Ill. FORMS OF ASSISTANCE
A. Relocation Advisory Assistance
When the Bakersfield Redevelopment or the City of Bakersfield or the
Developer offers to purchase the property you occupy, they have an obligation to assist
you in finding a comparable replacement location. The relocation staff will assist you in
finding a suitable replacement site and will provide you with referral listings. The staff will
be available should you need assistance in preparing requests for payment of claims.
B. Payment for Movinq Expenses
Every displaced business is entitled to a relocation payment to cover the
reasonable cost of moving. You may choose either a payment for actual reasonable
moving and related expenses, or a fixed payment (if you meet the eligibility requirements).
Every claim for more than $1,000 of actual moving expenses must be
supported by competitive bids from qualified movers. (Cal. Regs. § 6090(g)(2).)
1. Actual Movin.q and Related Expenses.
If you choose a payment for actual reasonable moving and related
expenses, you may include in your claim the cost of:
Transportation of personal property from your present location
to the replacement location. (Generally, transportation costs
are limited to a distance of 50 miles. If you plan to move
beyond 50 miles, discuss your planned move with the City's
Relocation Agent);
. b. Packing, crating, uncrating and unpacking personal property;
Storage of personal property for a reasonable period of time,
if required, but not exceeding 12 months;
Insurance of personal property in connection with the move,
required storage and the replacement value of property lost,
stolen or damaged not due to the negligence of the owner in
the process of moving where insurance is not readily available;
The cost of disconnecting, dismantling, removing,
reassembling and installing relocated and substitute
machinery, equipment and other personal property. This
includes connection to utilities available nearby and
modifications necessary to adapt such property to the
Relocation Assistance to Displaced Businesses,Corem
S:\Edcd\CityCenter~commrelosections.wpd
January 24, 2001 -- Page 2 of 6 Pages --
replacement structure or to the utilities or to adapt the utilities
to the personal property;
Any license, permit or certification required by the displaced
business, to the extent that the cost is:
necessary to its reestablishment at the replacement
location, and
does not exceed the cost for the remaining time before
expiration of the existing license, permit or certification;
Reasonable professional services, including architect's,
attorney's and engineer's fees, and consultant's charges,
necessary for:
· planning the move of the personal property;
· moving the personal property; or
installing the relocated personal property at the
replacement location;
Relettering signs and printing replacement stationery made
obsolete by the move;
The reasonable cost incurred in attempting to sell an item that
is not relocated;
Actual direct loss of personal property. This payment provides
compensation for property that is neither moved nor promptly
replaced with a "substitute item" at the replacement location.
Payment is limited to the lesser of:
· the estimated cost of moving the property, or
the fair market value of the property for its continued
use at the old location, less any proceeds from its sale.
To be eligible, you must make a good faith effort to sell
the property, unless the City determines that such effort
is not necessary;
Purchase and installation of substitute personal property.
Payment will be limited to the lesser of:
Relocation Assistance to Displaced Businesses,Corem
S:\Edcd\CityCenter\cornmrelosections.wpd
January 24, 2001
-- Page 3 of 6 Pages --
the estimated cost to move the item to the replacement
location, or
the actual cost of the substitute item delivered and
installed at the replacement location, less any proceeds
from its sale or its trade-in value. It is important that you
discuss your plans with the City before you proceed;
and
Searching fora replacement business location. This payment
may not exceed $1,000 (Cal. Regs. § 6094), and may cover
costs for:
· transportation expenses;
· meals and lodging away from home;
time spent searching for a replacement location, based
on a reasonable salary or earnings of the displaced
person or his/her representative;
reasonable fees paid to real estate agents or brokers to
find a replacement business (not fees related to the
purchase of a site).
The City will explain all eligible moving costs, as well as those which are not eligible.
You must be able to account for all costs that you incur, so keep all your receipts.
Remember, all moving expense claims exceeding $1,000 must be supported by
competitive bid(s).
You may minimize the amount of documentation needed to support your claim if you
elect to "self-move" your property. Payment for "self-move" is based on the amount of an
acceptable Iow bid or estimate obtained by the City. If you "self-move," you may move
your personal property using your own employees and equipment or a commercial mover.
If you and the City cannot agree on an acceptable amount to cover the cost of the "self-
move," you will have to submit full documentation in support of your claim. (Cal. Regs. §
6090(e).)
You may elect to pay your moving costs yourself and be repaid by the City or, if you
prefer, you may have the City pay the mover. In certain conditions of financial hardship,
an advance payment may be arranged. In either case, let the City know before you move.
Select your mover with care.

S:\Edcd\CityCenter~comrnrelosections.wpd
January 24, 2001
-- Page 4 of 6 Pages --
When a payment for "actual direct loss of personal property" or"substitute personal
property" is made for an item, the estimated cost of moving the item may be based on the
lowest acceptable bid or estimate obtained by the City. If not sold or traded in, the item
must remain at the old location and ownership of the item must be transferred to the new
owner before you may receive the payment.
Fixed Payment in Lieu of a Payment for Actual Reasonable MovinR and
Related Expenses (Cal. Reas. ~ 6t00.)
A business may be eligible to receive an in-lieu payment, equal to the
average annual net earnings of the business but not less than $1,000 nor more than
$20,000 for expenses incurred in relocating and re-establishing such operation at a
replacement site.
A displaced business organization may choose a fixed payment as stated
above if the City determines that it cannot be relocated without substantial loss of existing
patronage (membership or clientele) and the other eligibility requirements per State
Regulations §§ 6100(b)through (g) are met.
To qualify for this payment, a displaced business:
Must own or rent personal property which must be moved in
connection with the displacement and for which an expense
would be incurred in such move, and the business vacates or
relocates from its displacement site;
Must be unable to relocate without a substantial loss of
existing patronage;
C=
Must not be part of a commercial enterprise having no more
than three other establishments which are not being acquired
for the Project and which is under the same ownership and
engaged in the same or similar business activities; and
d. Must meet certain annual income requirements.
The City's Relocation Agent will inform you as to your eligibility for this
payment and the documentation you must submit to support your claim.
Remember, if you are eligible for and elect to take this payment, you are not
entitled to reimbursement for any other moving expenses.
Relocation Assistance to Displaced Businesses.Corem
S:\Edcd\CityCenter\cornmrelosections.wpd
January24,2001 -- Page 5 of 6 Pages -- ,
C. Reestablishment Expenses.
Small businesses (less than 500 employees) and non-profits may be entitled to
reasonable costs of reestablishing their businesses. Such costs cannot exceed $10,000.
Reestablishment expenses would include such things as repairs or improvements to the
replacement property required by law or required to make the replacement site or structure
suitable for conducting the business; signage; utility connections, licenses, etc.
IV. EVICTION
Eviction is permissible only as a last resort and it in no way affects eligibility of
evicted displaced persons. Eviction shall only be undertaken for the following reasons:
failure to pay rent; performance of a dangerous, illegal act in the unit; material breach of
the rental agreement and failure to timely correct; maintenance of a nuisance; or refusal
to accept one of a reasonable number of offers of replacement properties.
V. APPEALS
If you disagree with the City's decision as to your right to a relocatfon payment or
the amount of payment, you may appeal the decision to the City.
The City will inform you of its appeal procedures, and will provide you with a copy
of its grievance and appeal procedures. You have up to six months to file your appeal with
the City; if a project utilizes federal funds, then you have up to 60 days to file your appeal
with the City. If you need help, the City will assist you in preparing your appeal.
If you are not satisfied with the final decision on your appeal, you may seek review
by the courts.
VI. FILING OF CLAIMS
All claims for relocation payments must be submitted within 18 months of the date
on which you receive final payment for your property, or the date on which you move,
whichever is later.
VII. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you have further questions after reading this material, contact Janice Scanlan, the
City's Relocation Agent at (661) 326-3721 to discuss your concerns.
Thank you for your cooperation in this process. We will work with you closely to
minimize the relocation burden.

While actually moving is a prerequisite for receipt of either Actual Moving Expenses
or Fixed Moving Payment, in cases of financial hardship, advance payments can be made.
Consult the City's Relocation Agent for more information.
C. Replacement Differential Payments
1. Replacement Housin,q Differential. Long-term owner/occupants
(owners who occupy the property for at least 180 days before the owner receives the first
written offer to purchase from the Developer, the Agency or the City) of homes may qualify
to receive a payment over and above the price the Developer, the Agency or the City paid
for the property.
A replacement housing differential payment may be made to eligible homeowners
in occupancy who pumhase a decent, safe and sanitary replacement home. The payment
is the difference, if any, between the price the Developer, the Agency or the City paid for
the home and the average selling price of a functionally-comparable dwelling or the price
you actually spend to buy a replacement residence, whichever is less.
Additionally, such owner-occupants may be eligible for payment of incidental
expenses associated with the purchase of the replacement dwelling. Such incidentals
include non-recurring (one-time charges) charges (legal fees, preparation of documents,
notary fees, surveys, recording charges, loan application fees and appraisal fees),
compensation for increased interest rate and charges for credit reports.
Under no circumstances may the TOTAL of the replacement housing differential
and the incidental expenses exceed $22,500.
2. Rental Differential. Owners in occupancy for at least 90 days before
the owner receives the first written offer to purchase from the Developer, the Agency or the
City who are unable to rent suitable housing at price levels equal to the actual or market
rent on the property purchased may qualify to receive payments to help them with the
higher rent. Additionally, owners in occupancy in excess of 180 days before the owner
receives the first written offer to purchase the property may elect to receive this differential
instead of purchasing a replacement dwelling.
A rental differential payment may be made to homeowners in occupancy who rent
a decent, safe and sanitary replacement home, duplex or apartment unit. This also applies
to mobile home occupants. By law, this payment may not exceed $5,250 nor exceed a
period of 42 months.
The payment will be equal to the difference, if any, between the cost of renting a
replacement dwelling functionally comparable to your former dwelling and the rental rate
of the former dwelling. For mobile home occupants, the rent refers to pad or space rent.

3. Down Payments. Owners in occupancy for at least 90 days but less
than 180 days before receipt of the first written offer to purchase the property may qualify
for a down payment to help purchase a replacement home. The down payment cannot
exceed $5,250 and is calculated the same way as the rental differential.
PLEASE NOTE: The Relocation Agent is required to certify that the dwelling you
buy or rent, and occupy, is decent, safe and sanitary in order for you to qualify for the
differential payments. Ensure that the Relocation Agent inspects any dwelling you may
wish to purchase or rent to determine whether it qualifies as decent, safe and sanitary.
Moving expenses and supplemental payments are not considered as income
for the purpose of personal income tax laws. These payments are not considered
income or resources to recipients of public assistance.
4. Other Owner Occupants. A displaced owner in occupancy less than
90 days before receipt of the first written offer to purchase the property will be considered
a displaced person, and will be entitled to Relocation Advisory Assistance and Moving
Expenses (Fixed or Actual) only. Displaced owners who were not in occupancy of a
dwelling at the time the first written offer to purchase was received would be eligible for
Relocation Advisory Assistance only.
5. Non-Resident Owners. Non-resident owners (landlords) are not
entitled to any relocation benefits.
IV. EVICTION
Eviction is permissible only as a last resort and in no way affects eligibility of evicted
displaced persons. Eviction shall only be undertaken for the following reasons: failure to
pay rent; performance of a dangerous, illegal act in the unit; material breach of the rental
agreement and failure to timely correct; maintenance of a nuisance; or refusal to accept
one of a reasonable number of offers of replacement properties.
V. APPEALS
If you disagree with the City's decision as to your right to a relocation payment or
the amount of payment, you may appeal the decision to the City.
The City will inform you of its appeal procedures, and will provide you with a copy
of its grievance and appeal procedures. You have up to six months to file your appeal with
the City; if a project utilizes federal funds, then you have up to 60 days to file your appeal
with the City. If you need help, the City will assist you in preparing your appeal.

Dear Residential or Business Occupant:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that a draft of the Relocation Plan ("Plan"
herein) for the City Center Project is available for review.
The Plan is a document which sets forth the number of residences and businesses
(including non-profit organizations) which may be displaced if the City Center Project goes
forward. Additionally, the Plan outlines how the City of Bakersfield and the Bakersfield
Redevelopment Agency will meet the relocation needs of the businesses and residents in
the area. While the City Center Project contains three distinct elements (an
entertainment/commercial portion to be located on the north side of California Avenue, a
multi-use stadium to be located on the north side of California Avenue and a senior
housing project to be located on the south side of California Avenue), the Plan focuses on
the entire Project.
This Plan does not and cannot purport to say at this point where each business and
home resident will relocate should the Project proceed. Interviews of the displaced
businesses and residents are still underway. The Plan outlines the general assistance,
financial and otherwise, that will be provided to ensure relocation to suitable locations.
The draft of the Plan is available for review at the City Clerk's office, 1501 Truxtun
Avenue and at the Economic and Community Development Department at 515 Truxtun
Avenue. It is anticipated that the City Council and the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency
will review the Plan on March 28, 2001 and if the Plan is satisfactory, will adopt it on that
date.
If you have any questions or comments on the Plan, please call Deputy City
Attorney Janice Scanlan at 326-3721.
Yours very truly,

Estimado Inquilino Residencial o Ocupante de Negocio:
El proposito de esta carta es para informarle que un bosquejo del Plan de la Realocaci6n
("Plan") para el Proyecto dei Centro de la Ciudad esta disponible para la revision.
El Plan es un documento que lista las residencias y de los negocios (incluyendo

Ciudad adelante. Ademas, los con[ornos del plan como ia Ciudad de Bakersfield y de ia Agencia
del Reconstrucci6n de Bakersfield resolver~ las necesidades de la realocacien de los negocios y
de los residentes en el area. Mientras que el Proyecto del Centro de la Ciudad contiene tres
e!ementos distintos (un porcibn comercial de entretenirniento que se Iocaliza no~e de la avenida
de California, un estadio de multi-uso que se localiza norte de la avenida de California y un
comp!ejo de viviendas para personas mayor de edad que se !ocaliza sur de la avenida de
California), el Plan se centra e,q el Proyecto entero.
Este Plan no dice y no puede decir a este punto donde cada negocio y residente volver~n
a poner si procede el Proyecto. Las entrevistas de los ne~eocios y de los residentes desplazados
todavia est~n en curso. El Plan comornea la ayuda general, financiera y de otra manera, que sera
proporcionada para asegurar la realocaciOn a las Iocalizaciones co,qvenientes.
El bosquejo del Plan esta disponible para la revision en la oficina del Administrativo de ta
Ciudad, 1501 Avenida Truxtun yen el Departamento de EconOmico y de la Comunidad del
