Comments re: City purchase of the Tower Theatre
The Tower District is my favorite part of Fresno and where I have lived for the past 13 years. I love the neighborhood for its mature homes and trees, walkable distance to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, and the diversity of its people. It is extremely important to me that we protect such a unique and special neighborhood in Fresno.

The beautiful theatre that gives the District its name should be preserved and operated as the performing arts venue it is meant to be. There is no shortage of space and other facilities in different parts of town that would be much more suitable for a church. A historic theatre in the heart of Fresno's arts District is not
the space for a religious organization of any
kind, in my opinion.

We have lost too many of our beautiful historic buildings due to neglect or a misguided desire to appear modern and progressive. Look at what happened to the interior of the Hardy theatre, owned by a church. Do not let this happen to the Tower Theatre, please. This is not about Good vs.

Evil or some kind of "sin." That is arrogant thinking in my opinion, and I resent the supporters of Adventure Church trying to spin this as their opponents being evil, wicked sinners who are against God or are anti- Christian.

The Tower District is a wonderful safe space for LGBTQ+ citizens. I have grave concerns about how that would be compromised by a conservative church setting up shop at the Tower Theatre. I feel suspicious of the arrangement made between Laurence Abbate and Adventure Church and how proper procedures were not followed in violation of the lease agreement with Sequoia Brewing. I also fear what rezoning would do to the neighborhood as a whole.

This entire debacle has left a bad taste in my mouth and has contributed to my lack of support for current events scheduled at the theatre, which I had previously attended, in addition to sending the theatre donations to help in its preservation and restoration. All of that has stopped on my end because I do not wish to support Abbate or Adventure.

A building of this historical significance can too easily be abused when in the hands of the wrong private owner. I believe it should be owned by the city, and I hope the city will take that ownership seriously and thoroughly pursue partnerships that will ensure the theatre remains standing, in excellent shape, and in proper use: open and welcoming to ALL people and not under the control of any religious organization, no matter how liberal or conservative.

Subject Purchase of the Tower Theatre
Message Good morning! Reading that there is a possibility of the city purchasing the Tower Theatre made my day. I have lived in and around the Tower for over 25 years. This landmark has been and should always be the anchor of our diverse and all inclusive neighborhood. The events in the past year have had an negative impact on this gem of Fresno. I’ve enjoyed events at the theater and wish to continue doing so, this economic hub holds the Tower together. I see nothing but great things happening going forward.

Six million dollars is better spent on maintaining, beautifying, providing protection for the city. Not to purchase a theater to quiet a small group of protesters. Adventure Church has been an asset to the owner and the surrounding businesses for the past two years. No harm has been done yet the church has been met with aggression and negativity. Please make a wise decision and avoid a negative financial impact on the city.

Do what you were voted in to do first and then maybe we can talk about purchasing entertainment venues.

Instead of buying a building that is be occupied by people who are doing a good for the city. Why not use our tax dollars on the homeless or the huge drug problem we have. millions of dollars being missed used by city.

They would pose no threat to the area and could only uplift and enrich the culture that is already in place. It is clear theyre desire is for good and wholeheartedly full of love. Lets support Adventure since there would be no harm involved with them remaining there!

That was 11 years ago. Just like how the older generations paved the way for equality and acceptance in such a historic area, the tower theatre has since and will always be my €œsafe space € and now
It €™s our job to continue making tower theatre that safe space for ANY young lgbtq+ member..

Not to mention the public support. It's clear that the Adventure Church, with it's affiliations with known religious extremists (the fascist Proud Boys among them) cannot responsibly support the Tower community and represent the commercial or residential stakeholders long known to the community. Frankly, Abbate has done a huge disservice to the community. It is a sterling example of why property ownership should be only an entry requirement for contributions to a community's culture. The agreed upon culture of Tower should be the priority. That cultural priority is decidedly more consistent with Reel Pride, Rogue Festival, Porchfest, and Broadway Parque, to name only a few.

Good Morning, I would like to voice my concerns about Adventure Church illegally occupying the Tower Theater and the hopeful action of the City of Fresno buying the Theater. I am a lifelong citizen of Fresno ... most of it in the Tower District. I am a gay senior citizen who went through the 50's with with raiding of bars where gay people congregated (WhitebrigdeRoad). Finally, after many years, we found a home. Young gay couples can walk through the tower holding hands without fear of violence. I never thought it was possible. It is now threatened. We need to keep the Tower a safe place for all. The only place in Fresno that is a safe haven is threatened. Please buy the Theater and save us. Thank you, Craig R. Miller

The sale of the Tower is a private sale and should not be impeded by using taxpayer money. The money used for the purchase would be an irresponsible and reckless use of measure P funds- taking money away from much-needed parks and other green spaces around Fresno. Based on previous examples, the City of Fresno will not maintain the Tower Theater in a way that the historic theater deserves (which Adventure Church is currently doing). Also, if the City purchases Tower Theater, they will push the theater out of the private sector, meaning the City will have to hire teams to help maintain the theater, skyrocketing booking prices and preventing shows from occurring in the theater. The purchase of the Tower Theater by the City of Fresno is unethical and irresponsible. I strongly oppose this purchase.

This community is vastly important for our City and the people who reside here.

The theatre is a cultural landmark, hosting beautiful events, drawing in visitors with it's beautiful display, and making people feel at home. This building should be protected and cared for as it has protected and cared for it's community. Please save the Tower Theatre.

A public/private combo agreement seems to me the best possible scenario for the Tower community as a whole. I am all for RENTING the space to any organization, religious or not, but ownership should be public/private and non religious.

I say this a person of faith who has spent a lot of time in the area, has friends who live in the neighborhood, and who is very hopeful, even praying, that this purchase will move forward successfully.

For many years I could see it from my bedroom window. As the city aim to serve its constituents, it should purchase the Tower Theater to ensure it continues on as an important, and iconic part of the Tower District community. There is no need for a church (or any other disruptive group) to occupy the Tower Theater. There is already a large Christian presence in the Tower District through the work of the Catholic Diocese of Fresno. The Shrine of St. Therese is just up the street, and Catholic Charities is less than a mile away. Allowing outside purchase wouldn't bring anything to the community, as we already have a large, integrated, and peaceful Catholic community in the Tower District. The looming threat of outside purchase by a hostile third party presents a clear threat to the community, and the City of Fresno at large. For these reasons, I am totally and unequivocally in favor of the City of Fresno purchasing this historic landmark to maintain it as a staple of Tower District and the City of Fresno.

Tower Theater is Fresno. It is one of the most recognizable buildings not just in the City of Fresno but for the entire County. Generations of families have memories of seeing their first film or performance. It brings unique events that are specific to the area. I grew up in Fresno have live here or in Clovis my entire life and I know that I am not alone when I say that it would be devastating to lose such an iconic landmark in our City.

Our neighborhood has been completely disrupted by Adventure church and the bigoted groups they so publicly associate with. I truly believe this is the best way all parties can find some peace and compromise.

It is a historical landmark that should be preserved & accessible to all. Keep the current zoning laws. The location can serve a wide variety of the community especially the Arts. The church currently using the building seems to represent the exact opposite of everything else in the neighborhood. It will continue to be an issue that the city will need to patrol constantly.

Check the addresses of the people opposing it and I bet you will find most of them don't even live in this neighborhood. I do. I live directly across from Tower Theater. The church is incredibly obnoxious on Sunday mornings with loud speakers blaring in the parking lot for hours, church attendants guarding the lot, preventing people visiting other businesses from using it, and being a general nuisance. There is a reason why Tower Theater is zoned against such use. It's not a church, it's a historic anchor for this neighborhood, and the city, and should continue as such. It's absolutely disgraceful that the church has been allowed to operate against zoning laws, and covid restrictions. They have no respect for this neighborhood or the people who live here, they just want to acquire valuable real estate, and preach hate in one of the most vulnerable neighborhoods in the city. This church will not be unable to get a building elsewhere in the city, yet they are insisting on invading a neighborhood where they are clearly not wanted by RESIDENTS. Absolutely rotten to the core, and they've been allowed to get away with it. I'm fed up.

First, the church would make a great tenant.

Second, it's disheartening that the city would move to stop a private sale after being motivated by opposition from the left/protestors and for their own personal gain at the taxpayers' expense.

Taxpayers have enough on their plate without adding another unnecessary expense/taking away funds from areas where they could be better used. Seems like a blatant misuse of power. I believe that Adventure Church would be better equipped to maintain the property and use it positively for the community.

First, this is a gross misuse of measure P funds that were originally intended to produce and maintain much needed green space in the City of Fresno. The City of Fresno has a horrible (sorry guys you do) track record of owning, managing and maintaining entertainment venues profitably. Our tax dollars need to be focused on education, infrastructure and crime prevention. This is a complete and total waste of taxpayer resources given the current state of our city. There are other methods to ensure the property is preserved and maintained as a historic landmark without the City outright owning the property. Additionally, the resolution only represents an intent to purchase. The sponsoring council members have not produced an operations plan to demonstrate how they intend operate and manage the facility profitably and fairly as an equally shared community asset. They have also not produced an estimation of short and long term costs associated with owning and managing a historic property in accordance with appropriate preservation standards. This feels more like a decision being made out of political and cultural spite and not a smart financial decision for taxpayers when we're likely at the cusp of an economic downturn. Fresno Metropolitan Museum anyone?

This deal stinks. If once owned by the City, you can forget about ever renting the Theater out for Local Shows and Events unless you
€™re willing and able to pay 8-10 thousand dollars. Forget about the 2,500-3,000 deals made with private ownership for shows on Thursday or Friday nights. This is a death blow to the arts in the area as we know it. Besides all this nonsense is based on a false narrative anyway. There was never a need for zoning change. Liquor Licenses and Conditional Use Permits were never at risk. The Theater was always intended to stay just that
€ A Theater! The historic Tower Theater has gone through many updates and upgrades over the last year. The Church as I €™ve always understood it intended to keep it a Theater and have its Services there Sunday Morning €™s. What is the harm in that?!?!?! Absolutely None! This isn €™t about the Private Sale of The Theater to a Religious Organization. It €™s about control. The City knows how valuable that parking lot is to The Tower District. That €™s why they €™ve been working under the radar since last January to acquire it. I think our Tax Dollars should be spent more constructively dealing with the issues of Crime, Homelessness and Environmental Governance.

Tower has been a mainstay of being welcoming and inclusive - and the Tower Theatre has been a symbol of that. The preservation of this site would retain a place to welcome everyone and prevent a messy rezoning process for so many other restaurants, bars, and beloved establishments in our neighborhood. Council, please support this acquisition.

Support our Tower District.

€™s move to purchase Tower Theater. The
theater is being well kept and improved with the help of Adventure Church. The city on the other hand has already failed the Veterans Memorial Auditorium and failed in their dealings with Granite Park, all at the expense of tax payer dollars. Adventure Church has been generous as renters and buyers who are still in Escrow by the way! The city has interfered illegally.

Although we are harnessed every Sunday from people that don
€™t know us, Adventure continues to
love the people, invites everyone. And says, Come as you are! My family has always been excepted and loved!! Thank you Adventure Church, Pastor Anthony and Mandy, we stand beside you, and love you both very much, and all Pastoral Staff!! God always wins!! View and Analyze eComments

€™s own zoning laws than Mr. Abbate. Our neighborhood is special in many ways, among them having restaurants, bars, and art venues that one can walk to. I value being able to leave my car behind while spending a day or evening with friends, going from one place to another.

Please help us keep the Tower District special in this way, not the victim of zoning changes made in fear of lawsuits from tenants who should not have been allowed to assemble as they have. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Norla Henderson View and Analyze eComments

Any vote against the City €™s
purchase of this landmark is the City Council admitting that they will no longer enforce zoning law through out the rest of the city or county. While there is nothing wrong with allowing another church in this City. Allowing a church to flaunt that they are not held to the laws of this City is a disgrace to every tax paying citizen.

I believe the issues of rezoning and putting local businesses in the Tower District at risk by allowing a church to purchase the property can be resolved with the City's acquisition of the theater. I am a homeowner in the Tower District and I believe this is the best way forward for the neighborhood and the City at large. It is imperative that Fresno leadership not only recognizes the historic and cultural value of landmarks and neighborhoods, but works to preserve and sustain their vibrancy. I support the City of Fresno's move to purchase and preserve the Tower Theatre. Thank you.

Where were the people who cared so much about tower at when Lawrence couldn't afford to keep the doors open any longer? Those people and the city are trying to intimidate and push adventure church out of a sale that is already in escrow. The council members only "care" cause it appeals to those in their area and makes them look good. Mayor Jerrry Dyer knows the truth & what should be done but is a coward and obviously a false Christian. Anyone in the right mind should not be ok with the city using their tax dollars to illegally push adventure church out of a private sale and purchase the theater. My tax dollars should be used for the list of things this city needs other than bullying a church out of a building they care more about than those who oppose the churches attempt to purchase.

I also support this action on the basis that a rezone of Tower would negatively impact Fresno
€™s economy, although not more felt than in the Tower district, and would be necessary if a church were to purchase the property. I think pastor Anthony and the fine congregation of Adventure church will be able to thrive outside of the Tower district, where the businesses that have worked hard to survive there would find greater challenges in relocating.

The weekly controversy is unnecessary and a waste of everyone
€™s time. The time and money being used to go
against Adventure church, could be used to educated the community on what €™s really going on! Do you even know what you are against? Have you taken the time to hear what the church is all about and what their culture is? How about that fact that protestors are being very disrespectful and getting in front of our children on Sunday mornings? View and Analyze eComments

Adventure Church does not belong in the Tower District. The church acted in bad faith by conspiring to buy the Tower Theater outright, without giving the Sequoia Brewing Company the first right of refusal - as was their contractual prerogative. "Pastor" Anthony has verbally and physically intimidated protestors, they have aligned themselves with the right-wing extremist group the Proud Boys, and they have disseminated homophobic rhetoric. The Church's congregation has demonstrated that they are not interested in integrating into the community peacefully, and therefore do not belong in the Tower District. I believe that city buying the Tower District is the only way to end this feud. Also, sources indicate that Anthony Flores has a micropenis.

Adventure church has invested so much into the building and the community. As a member of Adventure Church, I have served on Sunday mornings at 6:30 am and have taken part and seen how we take care of the building and parking lot. From sweeping up broken glass, to vacuuming the entire theatre.

Doesn
€™t make sense to be against people who truly value the Theatre.

For 15 months, the Tower District has been under threat of losing its economic base and cultural uniqueness 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. City ownership of the Tower Theatre will solve these problems with one decisive stroke. The Tower District will not have peace 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, eclectic, artistic nightlife scene. 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, Dawn Deis 330 W Sierra Ave Apt 132, Fresno, CA 93704 View and Analyze eComments

For months and months, Adventure Church has been operating in violation of zoning ordinances, ignoring the directives of the City Manager and City Attorney. This has created conflict and business insecurity in the economic center of our nightlife district. City ownership of the Tower Theatre will solve these problems with one decisive stroke. There is currently no reason why the current owner of the theatre cannot sell to the city, is doing so willingly, and the city would be preserving the economics and culture of Fresno, investing in the long-term growth and stability of a neighborhood vital to ALL of Fresno.

As a 55 year resident of Fresno, I watched movies there as a child and have enjoyed many film festivals and artistic events over the years. It would be wonderful if future generations had the opportunity to enjoy it as well.

More importantly, though, the sale of the theater to the church would threaten a great number of businesses in the neighborhood. Given that some of the church's loudest supporters are Proud Boys and people who think the residents of the neighborhood are nuisances who need saving, I don't see how their ownership of the most iconic building in the neighborhood would be of any benefit to the people who actually live and work nearby, many of whom are unhoused, queer, trans, low-income, and/or make their living in the bars and nightclubs.

Fentanyl overdoses. The homeless and the trash left everywhere. Rising murder rate, the dark streets in the less Northern part of the city. What God Wants he'll get and A Church like Adventure is needed in the midst of a poor crime infested, homeless populated, Perverted spot of Fresno. Leave our Church Lone. We've done nothing wrong.

I do not agree that my tax money be wasted in this way. Adventure Church has been noble and honorable, making beneficial improvements to the building since they €™ve been in
it. Their character has shown and their love for the community is felt. Shame on you Fresno City Council Members and Mayor Dyer. Use your time and our money elsewhere, for the homeless, for the drug problem and for our children in this community. Let Adventure Church continue to be the good upstanding people they are.

To use our tax dollars, and to interfere with a private sale is not ok! If this is happening now, what will happen next? Our tax dollars should go towards something more beneficial to Fresno.

For months the Tower District has had its very existence threatened by the unlawful use of the Tower Theatre in violation of existing zoning regulations. The entertainment industry is already struggling thanks to the pandemic. Since the religious organization inserted itself, Tower residents have been subjected to anti-LGBTQ protests, had White Nationalists sitting in cars parked outside our homes weekly, and the church itself has made very clear their specific intent to change the character of the area. The City has aggravated this issue and allowed it to continue for over a year. City ownership of the Tower Theatre will finally resolve this issue and remove the threat to the local nightlife industry while ensuring that the Theater and the District remain relatively free of bigotry.

I also support the steps they have proposed as a resolution to the friction around the sale. I also agree with the sale of part of the land to Sequoia brewing, who has been a long time member of the Tower community. This solution as a package is the best way forward for us as a community.

This has nothing to do with the sale of a private property. If this was a church trying to stop a bar from purchasing property this would be a Supreme Court issue. The fact that the city would be willing to step in and spend so much money on an issue it has no right in is embarrassing and unethical.

The city of Fresno can
€™t even take care of the buildings it does own. I €™m ashamed of our city council and the lies that come from them. They should focus more on the real problems we have in our city.

Like the crazy rising prices of everything that are causing more people then ever to be homeless.

They need to put our tax dollars to good use and stop attacking a church that loves on everyone despite their personal preferences. These city officials should be ashamed of their terrible actions.

The party that wishes to purchase the Theater wants to KEEP IT A THEATER, not turn it into a Church. But rather have Church Services there Sunday Morning
€™s. No need for ReZoning at all. There is absolutely no reason for the city to get involved in trying to purchase the Tower Theater. The Owner should be allowed to sell his property to whoever he sees fit, including the people from Adventure Church.

Just because some misinformed people want to stir up an issue, the city needs get involved? Say, I
€™ve got a classic El Camino I €™m looking to sell, it €™s a rare piece of California history € if my neighbor doesn €™t like who I €™ve chosen to sell it to, is the city going to get involved? Perhaps make an offer on it? I think the city has bigger issues to deal with like Crime, Homelessness, Pollution and environmental governance.

€™s (COF) purchase of the Tower Theatre and
pay the legal fees of Mr. Abbate and Sequoia Brewing is an understatement. COF has not operates in good faith and has made every attempt to illegally interfere with the private purchase of the sale of the building since at least the initial meeting between Mr. Abbate and Councilmembers Arias and Soria. COF does not have a history of maintaining the facilities it has.

An example would be the Memorial Building where it was published the building would require more than $1M of repairs. COF does not have a history of making good business choices. A current examples would be the Granite Park debacle and the more than half million dollars it was scammed out of and kept secret. COF is currently being investigated for corruption in its operations. The people of the City of Fresno can no longer stand by as it €™s elected leaders continue to squander tax dollars and run our City name through the mud. Councilmembers should be looking to clean up existing messes and taking care of its existing facilities in lieu of creating a new legal mess paying legal fees for interfering in a real estate private sale.

Theres so much more going on in our city that my tax dollars can be used for. The city of Fresno has no right to use their power of authority to use our tax dollars any way they choose.

Taxpayers need to know how our tax dollars are trying to be used to pay lawyers fees and everything else the city misuses our tax dollars for.

cities promises. The historic theater will always remain as a historic building no matter who owns it.

It's not the cities business to run a Theater when they can't even run the City. When City property is in decay and when the city is already embroiled in the lawsuit with Granite Park.

This is just bullying of a Church plain and simple. Stop this Ridiculous idea of trying to buy a Theater and stepping on the church just to appease a small group for votes or for a land grab for the parking. Thank you Sincerely Jim Campbell Citizen and Member of Adventure Church View and Analyze eComments

Tax payer money should be going to things that actually matter and make a difference to community like education and health.

Things like education for your children.

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: I do not support the city interfering with an active escrow transaction. I do not want my tax dollars going to such divisiveness. It is not the City €™s job to interject themselves into
a lawful transaction. The city is opening themselves to a massive amount of litigation that will likely cost our taxpayers millions of dollars. Very poor look on the city. We won €™t forget.

€™s purchase of the Theater because they have no
ability to maintain it and local taxpayers will be footing the bill for the millions of dollars in not only the purchase price, but also the legal fees that the theater owner has incurred. This would not be a smart financial, cultural, or political decision for the council to make. The theater is currently being very well maintained and updated by its current tenants, and would benefit from their continued occupancy.

Dear City Council and Mayor Dyer,
I am in full support of the City to purchase the Tower Theater for historic preservation. This is a historically important building for many marginalized communities. This purchase will ensure that the space will not be destroyed or its historical integrity erased.

Thank you so much for making this happen.

Sincerely,

Dear Fresno City Council,
As a Fresno and Tower District resident I am writing to voice my support for the City's preservation and acquisition of the historic and essential property known as the Tower Theater.

In many ways it represents the heart and soul of the Tower District and all of Fresno's essence and diversity of community.

The current purchasers have been underhanded in their dealings and their repeated statements and actions
demonstrate that they unfortunately do not represent
or feel any desire to support the community spirit.

Visit the Tower and you'll see a vibrant, active neighborhood, and a tremendous asset to the entire region
that deserves and demands protection.

Thank you,

Dear City Council Members
I am not a resident of Fresno, but my wife and I often go to the Tower District to enjoy the community, attend events, and have dinner.

Preserving the Tower Theater through purchasing it and maintaining its historic landmark status will go a long way toward preserving this unique part of Fresno and the central valley.

Please support this purchase, and let’s keep the Tower district open for business.

Good Morning,
I would like to voice my concerns about Adventure Church illegally occupying the Tower Theater and the hopeful action of the City of Fresno buying the Theater. I am a lifelong citizen of Fresno ... most of it in the Tower District. I am a gay senior citizen who went through the 50's with with raiding of bars where gay people congregated (WhitebrigdeRoad). Finally, after many years, we found a home. Young gay couples can walk through the tower holding hands without fear of violence. I never thought it was possible. It is now threatened. We need to keep the Tower a safe place for all. The only place in Fresno that is a safe haven is threatened.

Please buy the Theater and save us.

Thank you,
Craig R. Miller

I was born in Fresno in 1952. I consider the Tower Theatre to be a historic landmark. Purchase of it is right. Please do the right thing.

Thank you

Keep tower queer. Keep the tower theater as tower inspired not church inspired. We want the tower back!

I am opposed to the City of Fresno purchasing the Tower Theatre. There must be an alternative that can be worked out with the church that already offered to buy it, the owners, and the community to satisfy its protection as a historical building. It is not the City’s purview to purchase private businesses. $6.5 million dollars not just small change. If the City has a surplus of money, there are many services or infrastructure issues within the entire City that could be aided by this money. If there is not a surplus, why is the City offering almost 2 million dollars more than the previous offer to buy the Tower Theatre? In addition, $6.5 million is only the startup cost. The City will have to maintain the facility for years to come.

If the Tower Theatre is
in financial straits, will it be more financially successful under City management, or will the rest of Fresno have to spend out tax dollars to keep it going while we are told there is no money in the budget for the needs in our districts? Please vote no on the proposed purchase of the Tower Theatre.

Sincerely,
A Pokrovsky

Dear Honorable City Council Members,
I am opposed to the purchase of the Tower Theatre by the City of Fresno. The City does not need to be in the Theatre business. I have attended many events at the Tower Theatre through the years, however, I do not wish my tax dollars to go towards purchasing it. The theatre’s ownership should reside with a private individual or organization, not with the City.

Our neighborhood waited 15 years for the City and developers to fulfill promises of a neighborhood park with playground, because there was never any money to fund it. We finally got a park half the proposed size with no playground; just 5 exercise stations, a midget size basketball hoop, and an odd shaped piece of grass that is not conducive for soccer or football. I don’t understand how a City that chronically has shortage of money when it comes to investing in neighborhood playgrounds, now suddenly has the money to buy a private Theatre.

In addition, if the Tower Theatre is going bankrupt, or can’t find a buyer, it is not the City’s responsibility to jump in and purchase it. Purchasing the Tower
Theatre would be a precedent the City can’t afford to set. The public does not need to be saddled with this financial burden. Please do not approve this purchase.

This is a gross misappropriation of funds.

Tower Theater is the heart of that district. Please aquire and save this treasure and keep it true to it's history and the open, inclusive nature of the Tower arts community. It is a Valley historic treasure and deserves to be treated as such. Over a year's worth of weekly protests should show you how strongly the community suppprts keeping the integrity of the Tower as the heart of our Valley's best entertainment district.

Tower District residents, artists, patrons, and supporters doo not wish to have a hateful, hostile organization located at it's heart. Adventure Church has done nothing to encourage residents, patrons, or supporters collaboration or seek out other positive solutions. Adventure Church further promoted hate and a hostile environment by aligning with an extremist group and repeatedly using inappropriate language when referring to Tower District and it's residence.

There are many other vacant buildings this organization can obtain and settle. Their repeated actions have made it abundantly clear they have no desire to integrate into an already vibrant and thriving community.

Allowing a church to purchase this building, to rezone it would destroy the central heartbeat of art and culture in Fresno. Tower Theater has long been a literal beacon of the thriving arts center of Fresno.

I fully support the city buying this theater, however, and urge people to remember that Tower District has a whole community and life to it that is one of the BEST parts of Fresno. If we want to improve our city, we need to start with the arts and activities that will bring people together. I encourage the people who have the authority to make these decisions to think about what Fresno our children will know if we do not save the Tower Theater. Thank you.

It is a cultural treasure and the current ongoing saga shows it needs to be in better hands. The present occupant has shown a profound disrespect for the surrounding neighborhood and there's every indication that things would only get worse if they are allowed to go through with their shady purchase. Please vote to approve this resolution and help preserve the wonderful and unique character of this neighborhood.

The owner should have the full right to sell to whom ever they wish and it is very disappointing to see millions being spent here when there are CLEARLY many other priorities in our city. Why aren�€™t those needs fought for this hard? The church in no way has expressed they would alter the historic value of this place. So what�€™s the real motive here? What a waste if council representation and OUR TAX MONEY. I don�€™t feel heard or represented�€�. What a shame.

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 City is in no position to make this purchase nor lend money to Sequoia to buy their portion. This is not City business and although I would rather see the Theater stay as is, it's a free market transaction and this is a slippery slope. Imagine if the council swings far right someday, this could go in the opposite direction.

We should be using our tax dollars for the good of the city(homelessness and law enforcement). I also oppose the City lending out tax dollars to a business. If your going to do for one, you should give all businesses a loan.

As a new resident of the area who moved here to care for my parents as they age from an area I loved, Tower District is a place we love & gravity toward here. We have attended concerts at the theater & enjoyed the restaurants near by. I think the City of Fresno would be good stewards of this landmark. When we told people we were moving here they would always recommend Tower & it�€™s landmark. The culture & atmosphere Tower has is unique to this area. It needs to be encouraged & protected. It is not something that can be recreated as areas like these are only able to exist organically and take generations. Having the City of Fresno purchase Tower would mean accessibility for the community to use the space for more events that have arts & cultures to see Tower grow. Thank you for your time.

Fresno residents deserve to have an arts district free from religious influence and law/zoning-breakers. CoF ownership will ensure that the theatre is well cared for and maintained, and that the building is used according to its lawful purposes. Happy to have my district 6 tax dollars support this.

From my understanding Tower Theater will continue to be a venue the way it has always been. Adventure Church is using the theater 5 maybe 6 days of the month. What makes sense in this whole situation.

Allowing a Church to break zoning laws has hurt this community long enough. Their support from extreme right winged groups is disgraceful and the support the FPD has shown in their favor has been disappointing. Fresno needs to enforce all laws equally and not favor and one business. This isn't a real church, this is a business using God to make tax free money.

We should be using our tax dollars for more positive changes in our city. I have worked downtown for almost 20 years and seen our issues with homelessness and crime. How about using our taxpayers money on affordable housing units, addressing our mental health population, building more safe parks for our children, hiring more officers to prevent crime. Let Adventure Church finalize the purchase and use funds on more important items that need to be addressed.

The City must be careful with the precedents it sets; enforcement following these broken laws or buying the theater for historic preservation are the first steps the City must take to regain the trust of the public, as well as protect the Tower neighborhood�€™s economy and culture. As a Catholic, I recognize when churches occupy spaces in which they don�€™t belong. This is happening in the heart of Fresno�€™s entertainment corridor that cultivates the human and fiscal capital that spurs innovation, diversity, and tax revenue. As a student of urban policy, Adventure Church�€™s refusal to adhere to land use and zoning laws is silly, myopic, calculated, and insulting to the residents in the Tower District. Lastly, Adventure Church�€™s cooperation with Proud Boys, radicalized extremists, and its dangerous homophobic slant will foster urban blight in the Tower District.

I�€™ve lived in Tower District almost 10 years and having a church in my neighborhood is the best thing that has happened for the community. The City of Fresno has so many unfinished projects, it has a bad track record of misusing tax payer money.

The City is willing to use tax payer money to buy a building by interfering with a private sale. The Mayor said that only 95% of Fresno cares about what is happening with the theater. Well what about the 5% that does care, are they not good enough to fight for? You can have anything and everyone in Tower, just not a church. That�€™s the message being put out. I oppose 110%.

It is illegal, immoral, and unethical on so many levels. I'm angry and saddened that the city would use my tax dollars for their own agenda. Rather than improving parks, roads, inflation, gangs, gun violence, drug addiction, and homelessness the city wants US to spend millions of dollars to keep a well loved church out of the Theatre and pay for legal fees and loans for their benefit.

Wow!! The misuse of your power, authority, and management is alarming and disheartening.

The beloved Tower District is supposed to be an area that's all inclusive yet the city is fighting to remove a church from there specifically. We have the right to religion... everywhere besides Tower Theatre? Is that the message? It's baffling that this type of reckless corruption is allowed and encouraged. Wake up people of Fresno! As a tax payer I feel played, and as a member of Adventure Church I feel bullied. It's no wonder why Fresno is the way it is and is going to continue that path if this passes. You should be ashamed of yourselves Mayor Dyer, city council, and FPD!
