Eight of the $300 bronze plaques have sponsors. Six other historic sites have been identified but have no sponsors as yet. The reason we are here tonight is to get the City Council's approval to place these bronze plaques on public property in front of these historic sites. Our first thought was to place the plaques on poles anchored in cement in the sidewalk. But after discussing this with the Police and Fire Chiefs and the Director of Public Works, it is felt that some of the plaques should be either placed upon the building face or in the sidewalk up close to the building. Since each site may have different circumstances, we hereby request your general approval to place the plaques on public property, and let us work with the Director of Public Works on specified locations and concerns of safety. Upon a motion by Councilman Rogers, authorization was granted to the Greater Bakersfield Bicentennial Committee to place historical landmark plaques, with the approval of the Director of Public Works, at various locations in the City.

Reports. Councilman Strong, Chairman of the Auditorium-Recreation Committee, read Report No. 4-76 regarding Proposed Increase in Food Concession Prices at Civic Auditorium, as follows: Bakersfield, California, June 28, 1976 - Page 4 147 The City of Bakersfield has a 10-year agreement with Sanitation Engineers for food concession facilities at the Civic Auditorium. The agreement will expire July l, 1977. The company has asked for food price increases effective July 5. The last increase was granted in September, 1974. Attached to this report is a listing of each specific item sold at the Auditorium and the increases proposed by the company. The Citizens Auditorium-Recreation Committee reviewed the proposed increases and has recommended only two changes as indicated on the attached sheet. The Council Auditorium-Recreation Committee has reviewed the proposed increases for food concession prices at the Civic Auditorium and finds them to be justified based on prices charged at comparable facilities. The Com- mittee recommends that they be approved effective July 5, 1976. Upon a motion by Councilman Strong, Report No. 4-76 of the Auditorium-Recreation Committee, was accepted, and increase in food concession prices at the Civic Auditorium effective July 5, 1976, were approved. Councilman Rogers asked if the system for monitoring tennis courts at Siemon Park have been installed. Auditorium- Recreation Manager Graviss answered "Yes." Upon a motion by Councilman Sceales, Traffic Report regarding request for Traffic Signs on Bermuda Street, was received and ordered placed on file. Upon a motion by Councilman Rogers, Traffic Report regarding request for Stop Signs and Crosswalks at the inter- section of Christmas Tree Lane and Crescent Drive, was received and ordered placed on file. City Manager Bergen read a report regarding Renewal of School Cross Guard Agreement, as follows: During the recent budget deliberations, the Council approved the Budget Review and Finance Committee recommendation to provide additional rate increases for the school crossing guards (from $2.35 to $2.50 per hour) and for administration of the program (from $115.00 to $122.50 per month per guard). These increases are identical to those approved by the County 148 Bakersfield, Cali£ornia, June 28, 1976 - Page 5 Board of Supervisors who also contract with Horace Clark for these services. Mr. Clark is now requesting that the agreement for the 1976-77 year include a section stating that the City would pay for any additional workmen's compensation, social security, or unemployment insurance costs incurred by Mr. Clark during the year due to rate increases imposed by State or Federal Government agencies. Mr. Clark's position is that he has no control over any such increases and, therefore, should not have to assume the additional financial cost during the year. On the other hand, the staff feels that insertion of such a clause in the agreement would subject the City to agreeing to pay for a cost, the magnitude of which would be unknown. Primarily for this reason, the City does not have any annual contracts that contain this type of provision. For these reasons, the staff does not recommend that this type of clause be included in the agreement. The County staff has also taken the same position with regard to their contract for school crossing guard services. Mr. Clark has indicated that he does not wish to sign the agreement unless the above provision is included. The City Council may wish to refer this matter to the appropriate Council committee. In any event, it is imperative that the matter be resolved as soon as possible, well in advance of the new school year. Councilman Bleecker stated that the increase Mr. Clark has requested, over and above the rate increase for crossing guards and administration o£ the program, is just a risk that is part of doing business and he agrees with the position taken by the sta££. If Mr. Clark does not want to sign the agreement then the City can contract with someone else or the Police Department can provide this service as they have done in the past. Councilman Barton made a motion that the agreement with Horace Clark for School Crossing Guards, be approved, with the inclusion o£ a section stating that the City will pay for any additional Workmen's Compensation, Social Security, or Unemployment Insurance costs incurred by Mr. Clark during the year due to rate increases imposed by State or Federal Government agencies. Bakersfield, California, June 28, 1976 - Page 6 149 Councilman Rogers stated that he agrees with Councilman Bleecker's statement and it is unfair to make the City pay costs that are mandated by other governmental agencies. Councilman Bleecker stated that the Council would be setting a dangerous precedent in agreeing to a contract with that type of clause because many things that the City does are put out to contract. Councilman Barton's motion that the agreement with Horace Clark for School Crossing Guards with the inclusion of a section stating that the City will pay for any additional Workmen's Compensation, Social Security or Unemployment Insurance costs incurred by Mr. Clark during the year due to rate increases imposed by State or Federal Government agencies, was approved by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmen Sceales, Strong, Barton, Christensen Noes: Councilmen Bleecker, Medders, Rogers Absent: None City Manager Bergen read a report regarding Selection of Consulting Engineers for Design of Truxtun Avenue Extension Project, as follows: The City Manager has reviewed the report sub- mitted by the engineering selection review committee relative to the appointment of an engineer firm to design the Truxtun Avenue Extension Project. The City Manager concurs with the review committee's findings and recommends that the firm of Braun, Pasillas & Wagner be hired for this project, and that the staff be directed to prepare the appropriate contract for Council approval. Upon a motion by Councilman Bleecker, report from the City Manager regarding Selection of Consulting Engineers for Design of Truxtun Avenue Extension Project, was accepted and the firm of Braun, Pasillas & Wagner, was approved for this project,and the staff was directed to prepare the appropriate contract for Council approval.
