STAFF REPORT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALIFORNIA THEATRE MANAGEMENT
In this report staff presents the fmdings of a committee chosen to determine the most qualified
individual or finn for the management and operation of the California 1beatre. After reviewing
qualifications and interviewing three finns, the review committee recommends that the
Commission authorize staff to negotiate a contract with Susan Feller of San Bernardino.
Backll:round
Following the Commission's direction of September 6, 1994, staff advertised a Request for
Proposal (RFP) for the Management and Operation of the California Theatre. Staff mailed over
60 RFP packages to locations allover the country. In response, staff received 6 proposals. On
December 8,1994, the Redevelopment Committee instructed staff to schedule interviews with the
top three respondents: Robert Mathews, Big Red Apple, and Susan Feller.
Recommendation
The review committee interviewed the three top finalists for the management and operation of the
California Theatre. While the conunittee felt any of the three (3) fmaIist could provide services
adequately and the relative capabilities were closely matched, it recommended Susan Feller to be
the most capable of meeting the needs of the Agency and the Theatre among those interviewed.
Staff will commence negotiations with Susan Feller and return to the Commission for
consideration of the contract as soon as negotiations have been completed. During this
negotiation period the Civic Light Opera will continue to manage the Theatre under its existing
contract on a month-to-month basis.
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
