Kunz, Deputy Executive Director DATE: December 19, 2008 DEPARTMENT H GENERAL COUNSEL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ~C~ SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the purchase of five (5) tax-defaulted property located within the Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project Area for the Southeast Infill Housing Project or Neighborhood Stabilization Program. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. BACKGROUND: Once each year, the County of Kern compiles a list of real properties for which property taxes have not been paid for a minimum of five years. tf the City of Bakersfield has any recorded liens against any of those properties, the County notifies the City. If the City does not object,. the County will sell those properties at auction. The minimum bid would entail the cost of the back taxes, any liens and expenses associated with the auction. The City, however, can object to the sale and offer to buy any of the properties for which it has liens. The total sales price for the five (5) one lots would be $62,900.00, plus publication costs of approximately $2,500. State law also permits redevelopment agencies to purchase tax-defaulted properties, providing those properties are in a redevelopment project area. These properties are located in the Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project Area. The following table lists the property address, physical description and possible use: Pro ert Address Ph sisal Descri tion Possible Use 409 N Street Multi-family complex Residential Rehabilitation through the Neighborhood Stabilization Pro ram 822 Collins Street Vacant land Residential In-fill 907 Dr. Martin Luther Kin Jr. Blvd. Vacant land Multi-famil or residential In-fill 305 Dr. Martin Luther Kin Jr. Blvd. Vacant Land Multi-famil or residential In-fill 132 Milham Vacant Land Residential In-fill Lots purchased in this manner will not be insured by title insurance companies until one year has elapsed from the date of the purchase. Therefore, after the lots are purchased, the Agency would have five years to negotiate with housing developers to develop the residential properties to benefit low-income residents of the Southeast Redevelopment Area S:Wdmins\RDA\RDA Admins 2008\tax default property 2009.doc 12/19/2008 8:02 AM aaxE O4 MCOMOR~,~, ~s~~ U ADMINI ATIVE REPORT Cq~IFO ~P MEETING DATE: January 5, 2009 AGENDA SECTION: New Business ITEM: r/. b TO: Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency APPROVED FROM: Nelson K.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the resolution. BACKGROUND: Staff is in the process of preparing the final documents to enable the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency to authorize the issuance and sale not to exceed $13.5 million of aggregate principal amount of its 2009 Tax Allocation Bonds to provide funding for redevelopment activities in the Downtown Bakersfield Redevelopment, Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project and Old Town Kern-Pioneer Redevelopment Project. As part of the bond process a declaration of official intent to reimburse certain expenditures from proceeds of indebtedness is required. This declaration is solely for the purposes of establishing compliance with the requirements of Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The declaration does not bind the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency to make any expenditure or incur any indebtedness in conjunction. with the Downtown Bakersfield Redevelopment Project, Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project and Old Town Kern-Pioneer Redevelopment Project. The declaration merely declares the official intent of the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency to use the proceeds from the 2009 Tax Allocation Bonds to reimburse itself for redevelopment activities in the Downtown Bakersfield Redevelopment Project, Southeast Bakersfield Redevelopment Project, and Old Town Kern-Pioneer Redevelopment Project prior to obtaining the financing.

BACKGROUND: The property being acquired is located at 730 California Avenue and is owned by Richard and Debra Whitlock and Whitlock Property, LLC, and contains two businesses, Rick's Recycling, Inc. and A & S Trucking Company, a general partnership. The property consists of land improved with an industrial building. On September 29, 2008, the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency filed a Complaint in Eminent Domain against Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock and others seeking to acquire all rights and interest in the real property. The purchase price of $527,510 is a product of negotiations based on an appraisal prepared by Michael Burger, MAI and reviewed by Michael Launer, MAI. The stipulation settles any and all claims and disputes related to the fair market value of the real property as follows: Real Estate: $543,000 Less Environmental Remediation: ($32,500) Improvements/F&E: $12,010 Appraisal Cost Reimbursement: $5,000 Total $527,510 The stipulation does not include the claims for compensation for loss of business goodwill and relocation benefits, which will be resolved later on as part of the existing litigation. The Whitlock defendants also agree to vacate the property and deliver possession to the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency no later than April 1, 2009. This property is the last property for the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency to purchase for the South Mill Creek Project.
