We should be using our tax dollars for more great and positive changes in our city. This is a misuse of taxpayers dollars.

As someone born and raised in Fresno it's appalling how this has even been in discussion. As a taxpayer we have road work needed to be fixed that will benefit EVERYONE not just a select few people there's plenty of homeless people who need help with housing, food etc. The list goes on and on let's start making Fresno something everyone can be proud of.

Do NOT SQUANDER Fresno Taxpayer,'s hard-earned Money on a Poor-Returns Agenda. City Council of Fresno, STOP betraying Fresnans through taxation without representation. MEET Real Needs of Fresnans in city areas where tax funded help does the most tangible good with the greatest returns. STOP.

Don't divert city funds away from other deserving needy areas of Fresno that would be be better off with economic, safety, and infrastructure improvements. The City of Fresno has a Poor Historical Record of Failings, when it has involved itself with management, control, and ownership of properties and businesses in the past.

The protestors have been obscene, offensive, lacking in tolerance and goodwill toward everyone who enters the church or supports them. They often dox, harass, follow, curse, slander, mock and threaten anyone attending or counter protesting. The city is bending the knee to a part of the community that wants to further destroy the family unit, the faith community, and our beautiful city. They will stop at nothing to further marginalize and demonize Christians, or any organization that upholds biblical beliefs, because they don�€™t agree with it. The city should address ALL citizens interests, and not use tax payer monies to push out a body of believers who want nothing more then to worship and uplift the community in Tower. I have personally attended the services, and the people are nothing less then kind and welcoming. Considering the church is made up of primarily �€œminority�€ attendees, it is all too apparent that politics are at play here, they don�€™t fit the mold of what the left supports, then they aren�€™t worthy of protection and government support. Shameful. Fresno is headed in the wrong direction if this is the way we are going to treat churches. Maybe Granite Park should get similar attention and scrutiny, Soria and Arias.

Now we get the opportunity to see if you actually listen to the tax payers, or maybe this city is being run by a small fringe element. Your constituents are watching..

City of Fresno is playing with my money, your money, our money! And doing with it what I do not want. They are proposing using Park Building money to purchase the building, rather than what the taxpayers voted on initially-building a park for tower kids. All while people have to break into tower school grounds to have a place to play and gather-then come Monday, students find drugs, drug paraphernalia, used condoms, etc. on school grounds�€�my 5 year old put in his pocket a glass piece of a pipe with drug substance picked up on school grounds at the kinder playground-because he �€œthought it looked cool�€ , and didn �€™t know what it was. Stop misusing my tax dollars, stop doing what your constituents don�€™t want you to do. Start doing your jobs! Clean up tower streets, clean up the homelessness problem, hold businesses accountable for the garbage around their buildings, clean up the used needles and crack pipes tower kids find all the time right outside their school grounds walking to and from school, fill in pot holes, etc. so much to work on. District 1 is the worse kept Fresno City District! Our councilwoman simply does not care about her District and constituents. Shame on her! Shame on all you who entertain her unprofessionalism & scams.

Just checkout Granite Park and all of the fraudulent activities there! FALLOW THE MONEY!! *I said, what I said, read it again and do what you promised us.

My household and I do not agree for our tax dollars to be waisted on something that is not necessary. The $6.5 million should be used on whats truely needed such as schools, parks or better yet a place for homeless where they can campout and our city won't look or be so dirty.

Did anyone really care about the tower theatre until they found out a church was buying it? Tax dollars should be used for something that is more beneficial to our city.

The city didn�€™t even want to buy Tower Theater until they realized Adventure Church wanted to buy it. The church is the one being harassed every morning due to hateful people. Yet the church still loves people, loves Jesus, and loves making connections. I don�€™t see anything wrong in simply purchasing a building that no one even wanted in the first place.

Since the start of the sale to A.C. I have seen our community change from welcoming to more defensive as the surrounding culture has become threatened by archaical conformity under the guise of public service. The Tower Theatre has always been a pinnacle in our neighborhood and it would be a shame to see its history be erased and our loving, welcoming community tarnished by a religious organization who's intent is to proselytize a lifestyle they deem as fit for all who live there. Let's keep the Tower thriving and blooming as a central art hub that attracts out-of- towners and stimulates our local economy. Multiple local businesses will continue to benefit from not rezoning and allowing tower to stay "weird." This is what Tower residents want. City of Fresno, help us continue to make us better!

The area is not zoned for a religious structure�€”end of story. I don't know why this has been allowed to drag on. The city would certainly maintain this entertainment venue for all people of Fresno. I moved to the Tower specifically to be in a "friendly" place. The hostility and divisiveness I have seen since the start of this illegal sale is so discouraging. And frankly not Christian at all.

This is ideologically and politically motivated by those who oppose and choose to discriminate against Christians. Those protesting the sale don�€™t even patronize the Tower Theatre. They think they own the neighborhood and do not want a Christian organization purchasing the theater, plain and simple. The city of Fresno is participating in gross religious discrimination and are violating constitutionally protected property rights through the missuse of eminent domain. This should not be allowed!

This item on the agenda is an inappropriate amount of money to be used in such a way as being proposed. It is completely unethical and without merit. The money should be used to help the community members in which would benefit the most. The needy, the hopeless, the children, the schools, the churches! Not that which fuels the agenda of crooked council member and greedy community members.

They want to use our tax dollars that we work hard for a wrongful purchase. I wonder if we pay for their weekend getaways and dinners as well. Adventure Church has kept that building up. They have put thousands into its upkeep. They were promised that building and deserve to have it.

I understand that the tax dollars are a lot but by blocking the sale of the church, taxes from businesses will continue to be poured back into the city. Adventure church already has a building in the community. They can work within the community through that building if that is their focus. The theatre needs to remain as a cultural and art focal point of the community.

This purchase is absolutely necessary for the economic and cultural viability of the City, as a gateway to national parks for domestic and international travelers, and a nightly destination for locals for dinner, music, and drinks. The Tower Theater cannot be allowed to be claimed by one organization, especially one whose motives for such tenancy and acquisition are an obvious purposeful affront to the neighbors, businesses, and patrons of the Tower District.

All the businesses here, new and decades long, are our friends. Tower residents are more than neighbors, we�€™re family. And if the protestors standing up for us for over a year doesn�€™t show that, I don�€™t know what will. Please protect the neighborhood and everything that makes us up from terrorists that plague our streets every week with the sole intention of scaring us out of our homes.

This city needs a vibrant art scene, nightlife and all the things we all enjoy in the Tower district. Letting a deep pocketed church come in and try to take over the neighborhood and put in jeopardy all the liquor licenses and business investment in the district and potential robbing hard working American patriots of their right to enjoy cold beer and live music. That would be a disgrace and and tragedy and blight this end of town. It's time for the city to invest in the north star of the arts in this city and save the last remaining independent theatre is this whole town.

It should be preserved as the treasure it is. It should be protected as a pla e of art and free speech. It should never have been rented to a hate group that doesn't support the neighborhood. The Tower District is the only cultural and artistic area in Fresno, where all people are welcomed (as long as they support each other!) I know many LGBTQ youth and adults who would not still be alive if not for the culture and acceptance found in Tower. Fresno needs to buy and protect this monument and this beautiful neighborhood.

Its welcoming atmosphere, its LGBTQIA+ community and supporters, and its forward thinking nature provides a safe space for people who exist outside of what society dictates as the mainstream norm. By purchasing the Tower Theater, the City of Fresno would be preserving and upholding that legacy. So let�€™s do the right thing here. #KeepTowerWeird

Keep tower away from the hands of people that want to rid a good community. It's hard to express how much damage churches can do to society if you haven't come from it. Fresno doesn't need their brainwashed negativity.

Tower district is to celebrate local creatives, festivals, LGBTQ+, and small businesses both with and without liquor licenses. This church clearly has other agendas and was not at all covid safe during major shutdowns, obviously not caring about the surrounding community/other lives in general. This is a beautiful and historic part of Fresno that needs to be preserved and celebrated for what it is, not diminished by a church trying to change the culture around it. Keep Tower weird!

It is necessary to preserve the Tower District�€™s culture as an arts and entertainment area. This would benefit not only the neighborhood but the entire city. It would also be a reasonable financial investment given the right management. Please honor the Tower District Specific Plan. Allowing an organization which blatantly disregards zoning laws, disrespects and disregards Tower District residents, business owners, and patrons, to claim Tower Theatre would be a disgrace and embarrassment for the city.

Meeting: City Council on 2022-04-21 9:00 AM - Regular Meeting Item: 1.-LL. ID 22-613 Actions Pertaining to the Acquisition of property at 1247 North Wishon (APN 451-265-02) and 777 East Olive Avenue (APN 451-265-03) 1. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301/Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines for the project. 2. Approve a Resolution Establishing a Policy for the Preservation and Use of the Tower Theatre Property and Authorizing Purchase of the Tower Theatre Property. 3. Approve a Joint Litigation, Defense, and Indemnity Agreement by and between the City of Fresno, the Tower Theatre Entities and Sequoia Brewery 4. Approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions by and between City of Fresno, Tower Theater Productions, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, and Tower Theatre Productions for the Performing Arts for real property at 1247 North Wishon (APN 451-265-02) and 777 East Olive Avenue (APN 451-265-03) for $6,500,000. 5.

Approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions by and between City of Fresno and J&A Mash & Barrell, LLC., and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company for a portion of the real property at 777 East Olive Avenue (APN 451-265-03) for $1,200,000. eComment: The Tower Theater represents the economic engine of the entire neighborhood. The economic development that has resulted over decades since the establishment of the Tower District Specific Plan has supported a vibrant community that's a destination for visitors far and wide. Unraveling the long standing zoning and planning efforts that have for so long protected the area has generated an existential fear for many stakeholders throughout the community.

Preserve property values, support economic development, preserve the culturally identity of the Tower District. I support the decision to purchase the Theater, and urge the city to immediately open an RFP processes to hire a professional and experienced theater management and promotional company that will run the theater within the guidelines of the Tower District Specific Plan, and harmoniously with the community.

The blatant violation of zoning laws, breaking leasing contracts in closed-door agreements, hostile treatment & harassment of community members, & obvious mistreatment of a historical landmark status (like parking multiple vehicles on the 1939 Art Deco terrazzo flooring in front of the theater 4/9/22) should be cited as reasons to take ownership of the theater. Save the Tower & Fools Collective have done an amazing job advocating for this landmark & Fresno city ownership is the first step to restoring it to its proper glory. Please note that community members support filing charges/fining Adventure Church AND current ownership for violating zoning laws for the entire span of time they have been in violation.

Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301/Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines for the project. 2. Approve a Resolution Establishing a Policy for the Preservation and Use of the Tower Theatre Property and Authorizing Purchase of the Tower Theatre Property. 3. Approve a Joint Litigation, Defense, and Indemnity Agreement by and between the City of Fresno, the Tower Theatre Entities and Sequoia Brewery 4. Approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions by and between City of Fresno, Tower Theater Productions, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, and Tower Theatre Productions for the Performing Arts for real property at 1247 North Wishon (APN 451-265-02) and 777 East Olive Avenue (APN 451-265-03) for $6,500,000. 5.

Approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions by and between City of Fresno and J&A Mash & Barrell, LLC., and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company for a portion of the real property at 777 East Olive Avenue (APN 451-265-03) for $1,200,000. eComment: I fully support the City's purchase of the tower theater. City ownership would ensure the preservation of the theater for communal enjoyment and allow the property fair access for all.

It would also prevent a rezoning of tower district, a key tenet of the save the tower movement.

It's a win-win solution for all parties involved.

Adventure Church has a beautiful legacy of meeting at the Tower Theatre and should continue as the rightful faith community to purchase the Tower without the obstruction of city leaders and closed minded extremist activists. All should be welcome in Fresno. Why have city leaders and individuals campaigned against the actions of a faith community? Why is the city trying to negotiate business deals against a church? Stop persecuting the members of a local church, and let�€™s unite together at the Tower as the great community that we are and have been. May there be more faith in Fresno. More unity. More hope. More Christ�€™s love. Stop the hate.

We as a church congregation are just trying to help the community by opening and having a place, for people who need hope. We do not need council members getting involved in things that are of no concern to them. Adventure Church has always provided for The Theater since being in there.

We need facts, not the lies that council members tell. We know what we stand for and in the end we know who has the victory. Praying for everyone here! View and Analyze eComments

What I don't support is allowing the ego of one man to determine what rules can and cannot be broken. I would hope that a church, that I imagine encourages decency and kindness, to be mindful of others rather than themselves. This whole thing is silly. Move somewhere where you're actually wanted.

Tower has had plenty of churches WELCOMED because they did not hurt the businesses or the residents surrounding them. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that the city buys Tower Theater. It may not be my neighborhood, but its been my, "home" for many years. I also hope that where ever this church moves that they are happy and can find it within themselves to show love; rather than just preach it.

It has drawn many of us and has given the reality of belonging in a profound way. It has been an arts gem for Fresno and even before I lived in Fresno, I was drawn to the Tower via the arts, as an artist, and many of the events that drew me were held at the Theatre. In January 2021, The current occupants stated that they won't change the cultural usage, but once it is sold, no one outside the ownership gets a say. An organization's or business' mission statement is, reasonably, priority; the historic cultural uses of the Tower Theatre is not the current occupant's primary mission and it has no obligation to maintain and promote it. As well, I have not seen proof that the occupant has and will respect and promote the unique identity and cultural offerings of the neighborhood. The Tower Theatre functioning as a cultural center is important not only to the neighborhood, but also to the city and maintaining it benefits the city, in finances and identity, as well as the local community, businesses, and creators. Plus, In many senses, it belongs to the community already. Bredefeld is wrong that supporters are a "small vocal minority." The support is broad and it is not persecution (and many supporters are Christians). It is focusing on ownership where the primary mission is Tower Theatre's cultural identity and usage.

This historic building should be preserved and continue to exist as a space where community gathers and tourist can visit. The previous arrangement violates municipal codes, but this new arrangement benefits the Tower District community and also works in tandem with the city.

Some of us protestors are Christian but do not condone the fact that Laurence tried to sell the theater behind painted tables and me n eds back. That is suspicious, please preserve historic Tower district. Shady business deals and gentrification isn't welcome. I do not feel as safe as anywhere else and I do not want my favorite businesses to go under due to a rezone. Anthony Flores has done nothing for the community and the sale to a church will change an environment that didn't need changing or saving in the first place. Let Tower be.

Tower residents have never created an issue with other churches so there's the proof it isn't about religion. Let us focus on why Abbate tried to sneakily sell the property and his intentions to wreck a community. He was 100% in the wrong and many booked acts cancelled their shows due to understanding the shady business practices. Please keep Tower for the people.

Residents and Tower lovers do not deserve any more appearances from the terrorist group the proud boys(which is who comes out and Abbate and Flores shake their hands). This organized hate group doesn't belong in the loving environment that Tower district oozes daily. Horrible changes will come from allowing Abbate to sell to a cocky, pastor. It's been ungodly of him to smirk and taunt peaceful protestors. Tower forever

The theatre is the hub for our diverse all inclusive neighborhood for all to enjoy.

The church�€™s behavior with regard to their purchase has been very divisive and not the least bit concerned about preserving what the Tower Theater represents or our neighborhood.

Their refusal to disassociate themselves from the Proud Boys is one of many examples. I have lived in and around the Tower District for well over 25 years and I wish to see the uniqueness preserved.

Ridiculous! Not only that, but cover the legal fees of both Laurence and Sequoia?!?! No, that is blatant abuse of Taxpayer Funds! When our Crime is out of control not just in the Tower but City Wide! This is an awful misappropriation of funds and must not be allowed.

This city and it's elected officials have a responsibility to uphold zoning laws which clearly hasn't been the case regarding Tower Theater. By acquiring this property the City will be able to continue hosting diverse events which support all factions of our community without infringing upon the licenses (e.g. alcohol) of nearby businesses.

As a Fresno native, the Tower District has been a haven of creativity and culture for me since high school. I always dreamed of living there, and now I do. As a Tower resident and and a member of the LGBTQ community, I�€™d like to keep our greatest safe space thriving and without opposition from a supposedly �€œloving�€ group. Allowing Adventure Church to take over the neighborhood in this way would fundamentally change the character of my beloved neighborhood in a negative way (especially if a rezone was done, hurting many local businesses). This church does not preach lovingly and inclusively, instead relying on fearmongering and bullying to further their narrow minded agenda. This is fine for the people who choose to attend their church, but would be more appropriate in a different part of town.

Tower Theater should be reserved for the arts and events that uplift our community! The city purchasing the theater is the best solution here. You have my full support! View and Analyze eComments

The people of Tower love the theater and it brings the community together. We must keep our marginalized communities feeling seen, safe, and connected- only then will Fresno truly thrive.

The Tower District is an essential economic asset for the City of Fresno, and it is in the interests of all Fresnans that the Tower District remain a vibrant entertainment and nightlife district. Tower District live music venues, other live entertainment, nightclubs, restaurants and bars are a premier tourist attraction that draws audiences from throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Studies have shown that every dollar spent on live entertainment generates $12 of economic activity in the surrounding community. It is vital for Fresno to maintain the Tower Theatre as a historic landmark and live entertainment venue that is open to the entire community and maintain the existing zoning of the Tower District that supports live music venues, nightclubs, restaurants and bars. City ownership of the Tower Theatre is a forward-looking plan that will preserve one of Fresno's best tourist destinations and economic assets. I applaud City leadership for making this solution possible and urge the City Council to vote yes for City acquisition of the Tower Theatre.

It was stunning to witness such beautiful history before my eyes and feel a sense of belonging, as I grew up in theater. It is vital that the city purchases the Tower Theater in Fresno's Tower District. It is a historical building with significant meaning to the community. Without this agreement, Tower has the potential to fall into hands that wish to eliminate the love and acceptance the Tower District has represented for years. While it may seem like just another sale to a government representative, it directly effects the citizens that live in Fresno. This acquisition will help keep a historical treasure alive, while showing the community they are valuable and accepted. Thank you for reading.

The behavior of adventure church has appalled and frightened me. Even filling this out, I am nervous about putting my full name down for fear of being doxed. Adventure church has been encouraging proud boy neo nazis to harass the tower district. I say this as a deeply religious person, no church should want or have neo nazis parading around as "security". Their aggression and disregard has hurt this landmark of the Fresno community. The city purchasing the tower theatre is the best solution.

As a Fresno resident who has lived in The Tower District, it means a great deal to me to see it continue serving this community as an art and cultural haven! It's been a safe place to many in the community, including our LGBTQ neighbors. Disenfranchisement of those who have always sought solace in the welcoming atmosphere of our community theater is wrong! Don't allow this Church to inact a hostile take over! They could conduct their services elsewhere.

Respect they neighbors as Christ would have wanted!

I live across the street from the current Adventure Church site and they are the rudest and most inconsiderate neighbors I've ever had.

They are a disgrace to the Tower District and we would be better off without them all together.

My property value and quality of life depends on the character of the neighborhood maintaining integrity. The Tower District Specific Plan (TDSP) and established zoning have existed for years to protect this. Over the past couple years, we have seen an entity not only blatantly disregard both the zoning, but city covid ordinances as well during their occupation of the building. Along with this we have seen noise nuisance, parking nuisance, white nationalist gang influx and harassment, and threat to the viability of residences and businesses. If the city does not acquire this property, the potential for further decline only increases. This is unfair to citizens who have invested in the area, not only financially, but culturally. City acquisition is the best option at this time to ensure the intended protections of the TDSP, protect the artistic character and well known LGBTQIA affirming reputation, which is a draw for both residency and tourism. City acquisition also allows potential public input on the use of a facility that so widely affects surrounding people and properties. City of Fresno, please do the right thing by not only your neighbors in Tower, but the entire city of Fresno. Be on the right side of Fresno history.

On March 8, 2020, we had my father�€˜s non-religious memorial service at the tower theater, it was one of the very last public events held before the shut down. My parents were longtime members of the tower community and had their first date at the tower theater 30 years prior. They held many community events, helped paint out graffiti on the weekends, restored their stunning 1914 craftsman home, and over the years attended many events at the tower theater. Growing up as a girl that was considered different, within the tower community I found a colorful, welcoming bunch of people who loved and accepted me. After losing my father, that community continued to love and support me and I don�€™t know what I would�€™ve done during such a dark time without being able to go to Tower on the weekends & have coffee outdoors with friends. The passion for the saving the tower theater has been evident in the voices rallying around it. The negative presence that adventure church brought to the tower was immediately obvious, whether it was their treatment of the homeless, the LGBTQ+ community, harassment of individuals enjoying the walkability of tower, or even bringing in a far right terrorist group, the proud boys. The tower theater belongs to the tower, and the city of Fresno buying it would be one of the best things they can do to uplift this area.

Since the beginning, Adventure Church has shown nothing but disregard and disrespect to their long standing neighbors while occupying the space. They have used the cultural cache built by many generations of tower faithful of the space to serve their interests only and not benefit the community. The fact that their presence has attracted extremist white nationalist groups is a stain on the legacy of the theatre. The soul of tower will be lost of Adventure church is allowed to move forward with their selfish agenda.

Hello,
I am writing to urge you to please purchase the property that is the Tower Theatre in the Tower District of Fresno. This is a core landmark in the Tower and it needs to be preserved for and used by the people. I support the preservation of Tower culture and urge the city to purchase it.

To whom it may concern
I hope the city of fresno purchases the tower theatre. The tower theatre is a landmark and means so much to the tower residents and I think it would be detrimental to the neighborhood if it became a church. Please preserve the history of the theatre and consider purchasing it and help keep the integrity of our neighborhood.

Public Comments Due: April 19, 2022
Hello,

1. Fresno's Continued Failures
I've read the draft report, and Fresno continues to get it wrong when it comes to solving homelessness.

This wrong-headed approach will continue to NOT solve the homeless crisis.

There aren't new, safe solutions being proposed such as a Safe Parking Lots Program like Santa Barbara, Ca's established, viable solution to one part of the problem, homeless singles, couples, and families in vehicles. Giving them a safe place to sleep at night, and case management.

There are no fast, safe housing solutions like Life Moves' in Mountain View, CA (Santa Clara County/Silicon Valley) cargo container apartments, made in four months in the East Bay, and up to all codes. They come in family size or single size, and can be seen on YouTube.

2. Fresno's Untrue Stigmas About Homeless
The same untrue dangerous stigmas and unacceptable solutions are pepetuated by Fresno, and by the same stakeholders given money (Poverello, Westcare, Fresno Rescue Mission, Continum of Care).

A. None of these organizations can cite the research data: 74% of homeless people are NOT substance users, but have had a major destabilizing event like a medical problem, job loss, loss of housing.

B. It takes a whopping 3 to 20 yrs to be approved for Social Security disability income, when you know what you're doing. Most people have to get an attorney to appeal their case at the federal level.

C. Most of the medically sick whom I've met on Fresno, Ca's streets aren't getting a dime of Social Security disability income.

I describe the situation as akin to asking someone who survived a car crash to climb Mt. Everest! It's designed for failure. Few will EVER make it.

Social Security has intentionally destabilized our sick, creating chaos for them and our communities.

D. The cheapskates at Social Security didn't save our communities a dime, but have driven costs in other categories through the ceiling such as hospitalizations for worsening, acute medical conditions.

3. Attorney Emily A. Benefer on the East Coast (who works for the White House at present), writes about housing. She has written that, "Housing is health." So true. The lack of shelter, protection from the elements, a kitchen, safe drinking water, a bathroom, showers, creates very serious medical problems.

4. Substance Use Is NOT Common Among Majority of Homeless Only 26% of our homeless are substance users, usually with a co-occurring mental health problem.

5. I'm A Former Paralegal, A's College, Fresno's Free Auditor of This Failed Housing System

I'm the system's "free auditor". Me: age 60, SF Bay Area native, priced out due to high housing costs. (I moved to Fresno, CA, five years ago for the cheaper cost of housing and to obtain another degree at Fresno State. My plans were derailed by repeated hospitalizations for life-long epilepsy problems (too much electrical activity in the brain which causes seizures, the side effects of anti-seizure medications (major depressive disorder seen in more than 55% of epileptics which requires separate medical care), diagnosed at Stanford, 1968, age 6).

I am a former paralegal, worked for Silicon Valley law firms, A's college, Mock Trial Winner, no smoking, drinking, drugs, crimes, or tickets.

I changed California law for crime victims and I got the Safe at Home Program passed to give more protections to California's high-risk domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking victims. It took me four years of hard work, and I testified before a California State Senate committee.

I was inspired by a letter to newspaper columnist "Dear Abby" by Washington Secretary of State Ralph Munro about their state's ground breaking law and program, after a stalking victim contacted them that she could not vote, a public record.

Washington state officials mentored me in getting a duplicate law passed into California law. They advised me how to overcome obstacles in Sacramento.

6. Lepers' Colony Mentality
Fresno's Lepers' Colony mentality to law-abiding, educated, hardworking people, that we must have broken moral compasses and need to be in dangerous neighborhoods, is wrong, deeply offensive, discriminatory, and most likely actionable in court.

That's why Fresno has so few takers. People want peace, calm, and stability, to live their best possible lives and contribute to our community.

7. Failures of Poverello
The employees have a poor work ethic, fail to meet promises and deadlines, and there is a high turn over of employees.

I have never had the MAP Point trailer group meet a single promise to house me, a law-abiding former paralegal with life-long epilepsy.

Fresno doesn't treat these appointments in a professional manner, like medical appointments.

Instead law-abiding clients, those with disabilities, and senior citizens have to walk a gauntlet of rape, murder, battery, robbery, and human trafficking threats.

Fresno needs to have a safe, professional alternative site for services.

8. About My First Amendment Rights As An Epileptic
Fresno's forcing us all to go through the Fresno Rescue Mission to get a letter of homelessness is deeply offensive.

I DID NOT forfeit my First Amendment rights to my faith to the Fresno Rescue Mission because I have a brain condition, epilepsy.

The Fresno Rescue Mission has no training in the brain, no medical degrees, and they can do zero for me.

I have been treated at Stanford since age 6. They have medical degrees, and specialists in epilepsy.

The Fresno Rescue Mission was a vile, filthy disgusting environment. There Rescue the Children out on Highway 99 was equally vile. They kicked out vulnerable women with serious medical conditions and left them to walk more than six miles to Poverello in the morning. The women had been taken out there by minivan.

9. Where Are Fresno's Audits and Surveys
Fresno has a bad habit of not listening to intelligent homeless people who can tell you what's wrong with the system.

One senior told me about the lack of cell phone charging stations at Poverello.

A middle-aged veteran, highly educated with cancer, told me that he had been the victim of an attempted rape at the Fresno Rescue Mission. He has told homeless vets to NEVER stay there.

It is important to fix problems early and fast. It is important to survey clients in a variety of ways.

No county case workers went out to meet the two elderly senior citizens (women) staying in the medical respite room at Rescue the Children.

Valuable time to stabilize them was lost. Why didn't their stay trigger automatic case management?
Rescue the Children was permitted to expel these two senior citizens, whom I saw at Poverello.

I am used to working for deadline driven, high-performing Bay Area law firms.

I am not used to Fresno's lax attitude about deadlines, and meeting goals.

Fresno has bought a troubled, lax, unprofessional homeless Services' system by not requiring yearly professional audits, medical audits, and a modicum of training on the major issues.

10. Unprofessional Supervisors
I was kicked out of Naomi House at. Poverello on the trumped up charge of prescription drug theft of an elderly st woman's medication.

Keisha, the Naomi House manager, did not comply with California law as a mandated reporter. She did not immediately file reports with Fresno Police and Fresno County Adult Protective Services.

Keisha's failure to report are crimes on her part under CA law.

Keisha hated my guts as a law-abiding, educated paralegal who gave her pushback on her and her staff's unlawful orders.

There are security cameras everywhere the size of bowling balls, including on the street. Fresno Police would have had an easy time refuting Keisha's story.

As an epileptic, I can't even take Tylenol or drink alcohol, as they will damage my liver when combined with anti-seizure medications.

Take someone's medication? Perish the thought! My life depends on my own epilepsy medications twice a day for 54 yrs.

A. Another middle aged Black woman knee surgery patient was kicked out of Naomi House by Keisha, in front of me, for taking a nap in her car when Naomi House was closed.

Keisha took reprisals against the knee surgery client for her report to Fresno Police that her narcotic pain killer medication was stolen from Naomi House.

B. A second woman, middle aged Black woman educator with a Master's degree (she had me read it on my computer), lost her career and home due to the onset of mental illness.

She was kicked out of Naomi House for bumping her laundry sack, a hand sewn gift from me, that she was taking down from a storage shelf in the shed.

She became the rape victim in People of CA v Micah Collins.

Naomi House staffs' unprofessionalism cost the victim who sustained life threatening injuries and was in the hospital for more than a month, and every agency in the area, Fresno Police detectives, the California Courts, jurors, district attorney's ofc prosecutor, public defender's, the sheriff's, and the corrections system (Collins was convicted and sentenced to 40+ yrs). That case alone has cost tax payers to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.

A woman with a brain malfunction was further damaged, when she needed safety and support. Services.

C. Human Trafficking
Another woman has warned homeless women to NEVER stay at Naomi House.

She said she was drugged and trafficked through Naomi House, had to escape human traffickers.

The entire "low barrier shelter" is a total failure. It's a code phrase for "violent st gang dominated'."

11. Failure to Grid the City of Fresno, Outreach
Fresno continues to fail to build trust with homeless people. Water, coffee, new tshirts, new socks, athletes' cream, and basic medical care. Mobile laundry and showers.

Fresno does not establish rapport and trust, including using Fresno State students (Nursing and Social Work, UCSF residents, etc).

12. Stipends
It is important to build a stipend fund and get the state, philanthropists, religious groups and charities to give to it.

Locals need a monthly stipend to show they have some income. Facebook employees did this for LifeMoves homeless clients in Mountain View, CA.

13. Conclusion
Please improve on all fronts. Don't wait to be sued into changing.

Research best practices that have worked for other communities, and do the same in Fresno.

Thank you

Please include the following in the record of public comments for the Fresno City Council meeting on April 21, 2022:

Dear Members of the City Council:

I am writing to express my strong support for the City of Fresno purchasing the Tower Theatre. This is the right move to protect a vital economic asset for Fresno, and I applaud your leadership in making this solution possible.

Preserving the Tower Theatre is not a sentimental issue or a culture war issue. It is a straightforward economic issue:

· Preserving the Tower Theatre as a working theater that serves the entire community is preserving an essential economic asset for all of Fresno. · The Tower Theatre is an engine of economic activity in the Tower District, drawing audiences from the entire San Joaquin Valley.
· The existing zoning and performances at the Tower Theatre support the Tower District economy of live music venues, other live entertainment, nightclubs, restaurants, bars, shops and a lively cultural and artistic scene.

· Studies have shown that every dollar spent on live entertainment generates $12 of economic activity in the surrounding community.
· The economic, artistic and cultural activity in the Tower District raises the profile of Fresno and makes Fresno a desirable place for educated professionals to live.

For all these reasons, it is in the vital interest of all Fresnans that the Tower District remain a vibrant entertainment and nightlife district, with the Tower Theatre as its heart.

City ownership of the Tower Theatre is a forward-looking plan that will preserve one of Fresno's best tourist destinations and economic assets. I urge the City Council to vote yes for City acquisition of the Tower Theatre.

Yours sincerely,
Jaguar Bennett

I have been unable to comment and show my support on the correct page due to "Server Error." I support the City's purchase of the Tower Theatre. Although I live outside of the Tower District, I have been performing at Good Company Players off and on since 1998, and I've performed in Rogue Festival shows at Spectrum Gallery, Vista Theater, and other locations. My whole family was involved in ballet productions at the Tower Theatre for years, and my husband and I enjoy going out for dinner and to hear live music at many venues in the Tower District. In fact, the Tower, as a lively arts & entertainment district, was one of the reasons we moved to Fresno in the first place in 1996. My husband is in IT, and we were considering the Bay Area. When he was offered a job in Fresno, we came for a weekend to check it out. We knew that Fresno would be an affordable place to raise a family and that there was a university, but we were pleasantly surprised to find such a colorful, bohemian, arts-oriented neighborhood. Over the years, I have become friends with many residents of the Tower, and they love their neighborhood and are loyal to it. It pains me to hear the pastor of Adventure Church refer to the neighborhood as "the gates of hell." There is no reason for the Tower Theatre, the hub of Fresno's liveliest neighborhood, to be a victim of the culture wars poisoning our society. There are plenty of churches in Fresno. Let the Tower be the Tower.

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Casey Rusko and I have been a resident of Tower District for 4 years. During this time, I have immensely enjoyed the sense of community, diversity, and abundant activities in and around Tower District. My fiancé and I purposely moved to this area as we both knew it was an area of acceptance and diversity within the conservative Central Valley. Both my fiancé and I grew up in repressive areas where we did not feel fully accepted by our respective communities. Since the Adventure Church has moved into our neighborhood, it has become increasingly obvious this organization does NOT support or wish to be included in the greater community (unless provided with certain privileges). Leaders of Adventure Church have repeatedly used disparaging language when referring to the Tower District and its residents and they have promoted a hostile environment via aligning with extremist groups and actively confronting protestors. If the city were to intervene (as it should have many months ago) I believe a sense of calm will return to my neighborhood and the city will send a clear sign that it values all residents and we are truly “one Fresno”. Please do the right thing by upholding and enforcing zoning laws and respecting the wishes of Tower District residents, business, artists, supporters, and patrons by removing a potential sale of this historic landmark to an organization which clearly does not support the surrounding area.

Hello Fresno City Council,
I am in support of the city purchasing Tower Theater. We must preserve this important city landmark and ensure that the integrity of the community remains a safe place for all residents and visitors to express themselves.

Please take this important step to acknowledge the efforts of activists who have been working so hard to preserve their community. We need your help and the community will appreciate you standing up for them.

Dear City Council Members:

I am writing to express my support for city ownership of the Tower Theatre. For 15 months, the Tower District has been under threat of losing a cultural focal point and economic base because of the unlawful use of the Tower Theatre in violation of zoning. This zoning violation has been the cause of division and conflict in the neighborhood and has attracted violent right-wing extremists who have threatened Tower District residents who have been peacefully protesting this breach of zoning laws for 15 months.

City ownership of the Tower Theatre should solve many of these problems. The Tower District will not have the peace and safety it once had until the Tower Theatre is again operating as a theater within the existing zoning laws. When the zoning and conditional use permits of Tower businesses are no longer at risk, the Tower District can get back to business providing ALL of Fresno with a fun, exciting, and artistic nightlife scene that it is known for in the Central Valley and beyond. As a consistent patron of the area for almost a decade, I know this firsthand to be true. Invest in the asset that the Tower District is for the good of all of Fresno.

I applaud the leadership that the City Council has shown in taking bold action to resolve this conflict. I support city ownership of the Tower Theatre 100%.

Sincerely yours,

Good afternoon,
This message is to officially offer comment regarding the City of Fresno's potential acquisition of the Tower Theater. As a lifelong member of the local community, the Tower District has always been one of the best and brightest staple of culture and acceptance regarding all backgrounds and lifestyles. Like many, the prospect of the historic Tower Theater being purchased by a religious organization was frightening when considering how that would change things for the people and businesses that call the Tower District home. I believe that if the city moves forward in its acquisition and holds true to keeping the Tower Theater a public use asset for the thriving
community there and the guests that hold the District dear to their hearts, then we can all keep the best parts of what we love in the Tower District alive. I support the city's acquisition.

Best regards,

22. I think after the vote for the city to own the tower theater is done they should hold a Townhall community
meeting in the tower theater for local residents, To network their ideals and to have a say about how they would like to see the Theatre ran in their communities and the type of events they would like to be heard and seen their

23. Has the city consulted with a
first amendment constitutional lawyer to look at both sides of the religious use issue?

Subject City Purchase of the Tower Theater-Support
Message As a life long resident and third generation Fresnan I am in full support of the City of Fresno purchasing the Tower Theater in order to preserve the Tower community as it currently is and make it, as well as the Theater, available for future generations to enjoy. We need to honor the current zoning laws that are in place to keep the arts and entertainment community of the area thriving for years to come. Please keep the Tower District and Theater a place where people can come enjoy, express, and be their authentic selves without feeling the anxiety of losing the community they love or being judged by others.
