In addition to the City Council Goals, the City of Bakersfield recognizes the following guiding
principles in providing public services to the Citizens of Bakersfield:
• To maintain responsible fiscal policies which insure fiscal solvency, promote the pursuit of
grants and private donations, maintain the lowest possible fee structure for all services
and streamline government operations to be more responsive and cost effective.
• To foster a "cut -as- you -go" policy, implementing spending offsets to cover the expenses
of new programs whenever possible.
• To recognize that pension costs are a large percentage of the General Fund and to
therefore pursue fiscal policies which prudently govern such costs.
• To encourage utilization of local vendors wherever possible and continue an investment
policy that provides opportunities for City funds to be invested locally if all other
conditions such as rate of return are the same.
• To attract and foster a qualified workforce by creating an environment that encourages
employees to achieve and provide quality customer service.
• To maintain positive and effective labor and employee relations through enhanced
employee reward and recognition programs, involving all staff in implementing the goals
and objectives of the City.
• Continue to implement cultural diversity in all aspects of the employment process.
• Provide safe working conditions and train employees in sound safety practices.

• Improve city government communications which promote a positive image of the City's
projects, programs and accomplishments.
• Continue enhancement to the public communications process, including use of
television broadcasts and other technical advancements as they become available for
meetings and to provide public information; enhancement of the city's WEB site; use of
press releases regarding city activities; use of surveys to obtain customer service and
other citizen feedback information; and distribution of city -wide publications.
City Council Goals - Adopted 05/21/14 Page 28
11118115 CC 4PM ,SPECIAL PAGE 57
Exhibit B
• Provide more positive council interaction with the public through improved response to
citizen complaints and inquiries through use of constituent tracking software and
available technology.
• Improve internal Council relations by promoting common goals, respecting individual
positions on issues, reducing the level of "political" decision - making, and conducting
annual team building and goal setting sessions.
• Work with the County to provide efficient government services for metropolitan area
which reduce the duplication of public services.
• Research, evaluate and implement emerging technologies which would enhance the
provision of City services by making them more effective and efficient.
• Explore new or alternative funding mechanisms, including the pursuit of grant funding for
constructing and staffing new programs and facilities.
• Continue to provide consistent urban services within the metropolitan area defined by
the City's General Plan.
• Adhere to City Statement of Water Resources Policy in preserving the quality and
quantity of City's Kern River water supplies and water rights of the water resources
available to the City.
• Maintain, replace and protect the City's infrastructure (i.e. streets, storm drains, sewer
lines, canal crossings, buildings, structures and facilities, parks, etc.)
• Pro - actively pursue intergovernmental legislation at the county, state and federal levels
by monitoring, taking a position and actively pursuing pending legislation; expanding
annual lobbying efforts with state and federal representatives; inviting legislators to
Council workshops or other activities; holding joint City Council /County Board of
Supervisor meetings to discuss various issues.
• Continue to partner with school districts on recreation and education programs to
reduce youth violence, drugs and crime.
