Home My WebLink About01/11/2019AT/CH OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER January 11, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items  This week, staff completed the process of working with BIRD representatives to develop and execute the appropriate encroachment permit for the placement of scooters in the public right of way. The permit, which is intended to cover a pilot period of up to one year includes appropriate indemnification language for the City as well as insurance and operating requirements which BIRD has agreed to comply with. Should you have any questions or if you have any feedback you would like to provide regarding the scooters, please feel free to contact my office.  The Bakersfield Fire Department is proud to announce the promotion of Noe Reyna from Captain to Battalion Chief, Julian Valenzuela from Engineer to Captain, and Jon Wegis from Engineer to Captain. Congratulations to all and thank you for your dedicated service to our City! General Information January 11, 2019 Page 2  As you may recall, in October staff learned of a breach of one of the City’s online payment systems. To ensure we reached all those who may have been affected, in accordance with applicable laws, the City utilized multiple notification methods. In addition, a call center was made available to provide additional information. The call center accepted calls for 35 days during November and December. During this time they received a total of 16 calls, most of which were in the first 10 days. Of the accounts possibly impacted, less than 1% contacted the call center.  The City Council, under resolution 173-06 (1), has established a list of events for which Councilmembers are automatically eligible for reimbursement. In recent times, members have requested that additional events be added to that list, including the State of the County, Annual Kern Tax meeting, the annual Chamber installation event, the Kern Economic Development Corporation Annual Dinner, the Annual Downtown Breakfast, and the League of Cities Committee and Caucus meetings. There may be other events to add to the list. If so, please notify Michelle Cruz in our office. After we receive that input we intend to put an amended resolution back on the Council agenda for consideration. In the interim, members can recommend unlisted events during Council statements or the expense can be listed on the agenda after the fact as an interim measure.  On Saturday, January 5th, the Bakersfield Police Department held its first Coffee with a Cop event of the year. The Starbuck’s inside the Valley Plaza Mall graciously hosted the event, allowing staff of the Bakersfield Police Department the opportunity to engage with our community.  I am still scheduled for Jury Duty next week, therefore my availability will be day to day. Assistant City Managers Chris Huot and Steven Teglia will both be available should I not be.
