He stated that if overruns did occur, Turner Construction would pay the first $100,000 of the cost overruns
out of its fee.

Commission Member Curlin questioned the likelihood of cost overruns on this project in excess of
$100,000.

Mr. Quimby stated that cost overruns for a project of this size could range in cost. He explained that
it was not possible to narrow down the amount of a cost overrun.
Chairman Minor discussed the use of a Construction Manager for this project. He indicated that use
of a Construction Manager speeds up the process for the building of the stadium; however, he did not believe
there was a need to put a "rush" on this item. He felt that even with the use of a Construction Manager, the
Spirit Team would not be able to playa game in the new stadium this year. He recommended the
Commission take a vote to hire a General Contractor for this item and allow him to complete the job in a
timely manner.

that the Agency submit Request for Bids for a General Contractor for the Baseball Stadium. (No Vote

MAYOR MINOR ANNOUNCED AGENDA ITEM RS-2 WOULD BE DISCUSSED NEXT.
RS-2. BASEBALL STADIUM FINANCING
(Community DevelQpment Commission)
Mayor Minor introduced Robert Clark, one of the owners of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, and
announced that Mr. Clark donated $1,000 towards the fmancing of the new stadium.
""...
Mr. Steinhaus spoke relative to last summer's proposed fmancing plan for the stadium, which
included a land rebate expected from the Superblock Project. Since that time, the State and City have
negotiated a different deal structure, therefore the land rebate is not available at this time. Staff and
consultants met to discuss alternative fmancing, which is being presented today.
....
Additionally, Mr. Steinhaus made a correction to the Baseball Stadium Financing memorandum
contained in the back-up material, dated June 1, 1995. Staff met with the local builders union, which is called
"Construction Laborer's Pension Trust," J:Wl Laborers' and HOD Carriers Union. Discussions are being held
regarding the financing of the stadium.
Barbara Lindseth, Acting Director, Development Department, provided an overview of the stadium's
fmancing.
The Commission members asked questions regarding the fmancing plan's impact on the existing
project areas funds and the Agency's fmancial capability to engage in and fund other projects.
Commissioner Hernandez spoke in length about the huge expense of fmancing the baseball stadium.
He felt the stadium would actually take approximately $35,000,000 as opposed to the $13,000,000 the
Agency has estimated.
COMMISSION MEMBER DR. CURLIN WAS EXCUSED AT 12:05 P.M.
..""-"-~
Mayor Minor encouraged the Commission to make a decision of fmancing today, in order to start
construction in August, in time for the baseball team to open in April 1996.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THR AGENDA
"...
Mike Hough, Community Development Citizens Advisory Committee member, local banker, and
citizen felt that f'mancing the stadium was not a prudent use of public funds.
......
COMMISSION MEMBER CURLIN ARRIVED AT 3:52 P.M.
Commissioner Curlin queried Mike Hough about the proposed fInancing based on his banking
expertise. Mr. Hough predicted a budget defIcit in 1996-97 and opined that a f'mancing and ownership of the
stadium by a private developer would be the ideal way to go.
Citizen, Aaron Hodgdon, voiced concerns that the $13.5 million f'mancial package doesn't adequately
reflects the total cost of the stadium construction.
Jeff Wright, citizen, questioned the appropriateness and implication of the gambling revenues going
towards the stadium.
Citizen, Warner Hodgdon, suggested meeting with staff and key City officials to work out another
source of f'mancing the Stadium.
RS.2. BASEBAI.I.STADIUMFINANCING
(Community DevelQpment Commi~ion)
fIIII"'I'O
--
Theform motion (made by Councilwoman Pope-Ludlam/seconded by Devlin) was still on the floor
from this morning's session.
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by Commission Member
Devlin (for purpose of discussion) to adopt the form motion.
Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the negative shortfall for operating the stadium and its impact
on the City's budget, the implications from the Possessory Interest Tax, projections of revenue, using the
stadium for other events, and so forth.
EDA Administrator, Timothy Steinhaus, clarified that the bond debt has nothing to do with the
operating costs. The Agency is picking up the debt service on the bonds. He noted the Mayor has indicated
that the Agency should proceed with the funding of the bonds; however, no money will be released for the
construction of stadium until $2 million in private funds are received.
Ray Salvador, Administrative Assistant to the Mayor, stated that the Parks & Recreation Department
projects approximately $338,000 for operating/maintenance cost per year. The lease points worked out with
the team, anticipates $300,000 coming into the City for the lease based on 2,000 attendance per game.
,.....
Commission Member Hernandez made a substitute motion, seconded by Commission Member
Curlin (for discussioTl) that staff be directed to meet with Mr. Hodgdon and appropriate staff members to
consider an alternate means of financing; and that the matter return to the Community Development
Commission meeting of June 19, 1995.

No vote was taken.
Mayor Minor stated if there is no fInancing decision made today, we will lose the stadium for sure.
I!IIlIlI
Timothy Steinhaus, Economic Development Agency Administrator, noted public and private
financing has been looked at carefully and Mr. Hodgdon has never contacted the EDA about an alternate
method during the research period.
-
Councilman Oberhelman noted there is still an opportunity to consider alternate fInancing. He was
concerned that the form motion has a $2 million dollar hole in it. There has not been any discussion on the
private fmancing. He felt the Commission should go forward with the bond refInancing today, and still look
at other alternatives meanwhile. He recommended a more thorough discussion on the private ftnancing
option which has been presented.
Legal Counsel, Tim Sabo, Sabo & Green Law Offices, advised the form motion approval to proceed
with the restructuring would start a complex process of analyzing all the bond issues. During this 45-60 day
process, a restructuring of the indebtedness would be done and additional bonding capabilities will surface.
COMMISSION MEMBER DEVLIN WAS EXCUSED AT 4:33 P.M.
Commission Member Dr. Curlin asked Warner Hodgdon to share his plan as a third alternative.
Warner Hodgdon expressed a desire to work together with staff to explain his plan, for the good of
the community.
EDA Administrator Timothy Steinhaus said he would be open to hear Mr. Hodgdon's plan; however,
felt the form motion should still go forward for the comfort of the community.
~
--'Ii
Commission Member Negrete made a substitute motion. seconded by Commission Member Curlin
that the staff move forward with refmancing of the bond indebtedness; that staff meet with Mr. Hodgdon and
appropriate staff members to pursue alternate fInancing and if alternate financing can be obtained, then the
alternate fmancing should be utilized.
No vote was taken.
COMMISSION MEMBER DEVLIN RETURNED AT 4:38 P.M.
Commission Member Oberhelman made a substitute motion. seconded by Commission Member
Miller that the Community Development Commission direct staff and Miller and Schroeder Financial, Inc., to
prepare the necessary bond fmancing documents to implement the refmancing and the incurring of additional
bonded indebtedness to provide fmandal benefIts to the Agency pursuant to the implementation of AB-1290
all subject to approval by the Commission at a subsequent meeting; that the construction of the baseball
stadium be approved in an amount not-to-exceed $13,000,000; and that the matter of fmancing be determined
in two weeks.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commission Members Negrete; Oberhelman;

that his firm had provided approximately $10 billion in Construction Management services using union

Construction Manager for this project. However, if a Construction Manager approach is approved, he
believed that the selection of that manager should be made through Request for Proposals (RFP). He
also commented on Mr. Dominguez' submittal of an application to provide the manager services without
going through the normal process.

without requesting proposals.
