TO: Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency APPROVED FROM: Donna L. Kunz, Deputy Executive Director DEPARTMENT HEAD DATE: January 29, 2010 GENERAL COUNSEL 'EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: Agreement with Bethany Services, Inc. dba the Bakersfield Homeless Center for the purpose of developing and operating a transitional housing project at 721 and 725 81h Street. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. BACKGROUND: On October 13, 2008 the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency entered into a Predevelopment and Option Agreement with Bethany Services (Bethany) which provided for the transfer of property located at 721 and 725 8th Street to Bethany. This Agreement required Bethany to within 12 months of the execution of the agreement to apply for various mental health and human service grants to assist in the costs associated with the rehabilitation of the facility and to support on-going operations. Once grants were secured Bethany was required to provide the Economic and Community Development Department (EDCD) staff with a business plan including the proposed use of the facility, number of transitional housing units to be provided, and funding available to Bethany for operations. This Predevelopment and Option Agreement required the Redevelopment Agency and Bethany to enter into a subsequent agreement for the development and operation of a transitional housing project at 721 and 725 81h Street formerly known as the Friese Inn. Bethany has satisfied all the requirements of the Predevelopment Agreement as referenced above including Bethany obtaining additional funding to pay for the costs associated with the development and operation of the facility. Bethany has obtained funding through the Kern County Mental Health Department to develop and operate a program for low-income individuals who are suffering from a metal health crisis and are in need of temporary housing. In addition, Bethany has obtained a grant from the County of Kern to rehabilitate the facility, EDCD staff has reviewed the business plan received from Bethany and is recommending approval of the Development and Operation Agreement. The Development and Operation Agreement will require the facility continue to operate as a transitional housing project for 55 years. No additional funding is being requested from the Agency for the project. S:\Admins\RDA\RDA Admins 2010\Friese-Bethany DO Agree.doc 1/29/2010 2:00 PM
