property owner and falsely rents to an unsuspecting victim; Cash for
when the squatter obtains and falsely sells the property for cash; a

to the owner. There are instances when squatters will remove fixt
property.

'
VACANT OR ABANDONED COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS DOWNTC
In addition to the power point presentation by the Community Deve
Department, the City Attorney's office submits this memo in resp
Councilmember Maxwell's referral relating to the issue of vacant cor�
buildings downtown, and existing laws that address the blight causec
vacant commercial buildings.
Backqround
The City currently has three sections in its municipal code to deal with �
caused by vacant properties, whether residential or commercial. C
each code section are attached to this memo.
1. BMC Chapter 8.27 -(Maintenance of Property - Violation of
Standards)
The City uses BMC Ch. 8.27 to force owners of vacant property to sec
doors, windows or any opening of the structure. Some structures includE
buildings or partially destroyed buildings. Failure to comply subjects the �
owner to a criminal penalty (misdemeanor or infraction) and civil K
through the abatement process under Chapter 8.80. Examples of v
include buildings with broken windows, open doorways, and exterioi
fences, driveways, sidewalks, or walkways which are in disrepair and u

3. Bakersfield Municipal Code (BMC) Chapter 8.80 -(Abatement �
Nuisances)
The City uses BMC Chapter 8.80 to force owners to maintain and clean
vacant buildings when their property has become a public nuisance.
BMC Chapter 8.80, the owner receives a notice of violation and has se�
to fix their property. The City may also issue a corrective order. If the
owner does not repair or abate the nuisance, the City will continue
abatement process, which includes the hiring of a contractor to cle<
board up the property, and subsequent liens imposed on the pro
recover the City's costs. If the code enforcement officer determines
property is a substantial endangerment to the health and safety of oc
or the public or an imminent threat to the health and safety of resi
public, the City will order the property to be vacated, secured and mc
against entry by would-be trespassers. Examples of public nuisance �
include all of the examples listed in the BMC Chapter 8.27 summary abc
as buildings with broken windows and open doorways.
In addition, violators of BMC Chapter 8.80 are also subject to civil liab
can be charged with a misdemeanor or an infraction, including finE
$1,000 per violation.
Summarv
It should be noted that the City can lien the property or otherwise c
property's title in order to recover the City's costs for abatement and f�
property owner to make repairs or abate the nuisance. However, the
of liens placed on the property may make the property less attra�
purchasers interested in buying vacant buildings, especially in cases whE
are a substantial amount of liens on the property rendering the
unmarketable, which may ultimately create more vacancies.
Although the City's existing code is used to address unsafe or dilc
commercial buildings, the Community Development Department will
other options and tools used by other cities for the committee to cor
part of its power point presentation at the meeting.

FROM: VIRGINIA GENNARO, CITY ATTORN Y

THOMAS GEDDES, ASSOCIATE CITY ATTORNEY �/'!�
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON "BATH SALTS" AND "SPICE" ORDINANCES
FACTS: At the Legislation and Litigation Committee meeting on March �
the City Attorney's Office presented a memo and PowerPoint addressir
developments concerning "Bath Salts" and "Spice." Included in the Pov
was a survey of municipalities with ordinances banning these "Bath Sa
"Spice." The following memo provides a summary of these ordinances.
SURVEY RESULTS: The City Attorney's Office contacted the cities in the si
well as the law enforcement agencies tasked to enforce these ordina
majority of these ordinances were passed between 201 1 and Novembei
response to national media coverage, law enforcement awarene
concerned parents in the community.
Many cities do not have the resources to test "Bath Salts" and "Spic
standardized drug tests. In addition, the chemical compounds o
substances continue to change and such tests are prohibitively expensi�
result, it is difficult to obtain convictions for individuals who are un
influence and in possession of these drugs. Therefore, a majority of tr
surveyed cite users for Penal Code § 647(f), which is a misdemec
individuals under the influence or impaired by drugs. This is an effective
combat these drugs without the need to perform uncertain and expensi
tests.

sell these drugs. All of the surveyed ordinances that prohibit sales of "Ba
and "Spice" have similar language allowing the cities to seize the drugs �
suspend or revoke business licenses. Cities such as Paso Robles and St.
actively engage local retailers, informing them of the dangers of "Ba
and "Spice" and warning them not to sell these products. As a resu
cities usualty see approximately five to six cases of possession crimes a yE
Other cities, including the City of Bakersfield, perform undercover operc
purchase these drugs from retailers. Currently, under Health and Safe�
sections 11375.5 and 11357.5, it is illegal to sell these substances. The
Bakersfield has been successful in these sting operations to the point wl
sales of "Bath Salts" and "Spice" at smoke shops and tobacco stor�
significantly decreased.
Based upon the total reduction of "Bath Salts" and "Spice" cases, Tular
to have had the most success. Representatives of the Tulare Police De�
report arrests for possession decreased roughly 80% since the ordinar
enacted. Tulare's effectiveness in combating these drugs is due in IargE
significant community outreach. Officers routinely speak to communit�
and attend meetings to discuss the dangers posed by consumption �
drugs.
CONCLUSION: Currently, it is illegal to sell or distribute "Bath Salts" and
Effective January 1, 2016, Health and Safety Code sections 1 1375.5 and
will make possession of "Bath Salts" and "Spice" a crime. In add
discussed at the Legislative and Litigation Committee, an emergency SE
may be enacted which clarifies criminal penalties for "Bath Salts" and `
If the Committee desires an additional enforcement tool prior to the E
date of State legislation, the City Attorney's Office can draft an ordinar
bans personal possession of "Bath Salts" and "Spice" and further i
penalties for commercial sales of these substances. A sample will be K
to the Committee at the meeting.
