M., January 3, 1977. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Hart followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and Invocation by Reverend Ed Wulfekuehler of the First Congregational Church. The City Clerk called the roll as follows: Present: Mayor Hart. Councilmen Christensen, Medders, Rogers, Sceales, Barton, Bleecker Absent: Councilman Strong Minutes of the regular meeting of December 20, 1976 were approved as presented. Mayor Hart Sworn in for Four Year Term. At this time the City Clerk administered the Oath of Office to Donald M. Hart for four year term as Mayor of the City of Bakersfield. Councilman Rogers stated that many people do not realize the demands made on the Mayor's time and he does an excellent job of representing this City. We should all be proud to have Mr. Hart as Mayor of the City of Bakersfield. Mayor Hart stated, "this is an occasion that is very important to me. I am continually reminded by the press and those that are angry with the office or the way in which I conduct my- self of the limited powers of the office. I don't know what you call power when you stand before the elected officials of the United States of America, important people in the manufacturing world or persons that come into this community to develop, promote and enjoy things we have been privileged to have all of our lives in Bakersfield, I don't know whether that is power or not, but it is pride as far as I'm concerned. I am flattered and pleased to do this job. I have no interest in power, I never have had. I just think this is my home town and I have a job I must do and want to do. So, as you look back in retrospect of the eight years Bakersfield, California, January 3, 1977 - Page 2 I have served in this office the anticipation I have for the additional four, I can only say I am flattered and terribly and totally honored to represent Bakersfield and the people who have elected me. Thank you so much." Council Statements. Councilman Barton made a motion that the staff be authorized to prepare an application for Community Development Funds for review and determination by this Council for a final decision by April. Councilman Rogers asked what the timing schedule is for filing an application. Community Development Director Foster stated that an exact time schedule has not been set up for starting an application for Community Development Funds and a lot of work has to be done prior to making the formal application, and this could not be accomplished for a couple of months. City Manager Bergen stated that prior to this afternoon the City had not received a letter from HUD notifying the staff that an extension of time would be given. A Mailagram was received this afternoon but there was not sufficient time to react for this evening. Councilman Bleecker stated that it is his understanding that a lot of work, time and effort goes into preparing an application and the City Manager wrote a letter, some time ago, to the Federal Government requesting that an extension of time be given to the City in case the Council wished to apply for second year funding from the Community Development Program. It is also his understanding that there may have been some changes in the rules and regulations governing the disposition of the funds, and if these changes would satisfy his personal political philosophy he might consider it at a later date. Since there are a number of things that are still unknown by the Council and the staff should Bakers£ield, Cali£ornia, January 3, 1977 - Page 3 387 not spend a lot of time, effort and money preparing an extensive application until these things are known, he cannot support the motion at this time. Councilman Medders stated he feels the motion is a little premature. Councilman Rogers stated that he cannot support the motion because he also feels the motion is a little premature and the strings that were attached last year that made this project to the majority of the Council unacceptable are still there. Councilman Barton's motion that the staff be authorized to prepare an application for Community Development Funds for review and determination by this Council for a final decision by April, failed to carry by the following roll call vote: Ayes Councilmen Christensen, Barton Noes: Councilmen Medders, Rogers, Bleecker Absent: Councilman Strong Abstaining: Councilman Sceales Upon a motion by Councilman Medders, City Attorney Kenneth W. Hoagland was reappointed to the Board of Zoning Adjust- ment for three year term expiring December l, 1979. Councilman Medders questioned the appointments to the Board of Charity Appeals and Solicitations. Assistant City Manager Buell stated that all the terms have expired with the exception of the one vacancy which will expire on October 1, 1978 and Mr. Don Hopkins has stated that he does not wish to be reappointed and he has suggested a name for Council consideration. Councilman Medders requested that Assistant City Manager Buell check with the persons serving on the Board of Charity Appeals and Solicitations to see if they would be willing to serve another term and report back to the Council next week. Upon a motion by Councilman Medders, Assistant City Attorney Charles Leach was appointed as the City Attorney's alternate to the Board of Zoning Adjustment for three year term expiring December l, 1979. Bakersfield, California, January 3, 1977 - Page 4 Upon a motion by Councilman Medders, Mr. Kenneth E. Vetter, 707 Holtby Road, was appointed to the Police Department Civil Service Board, term expiring December 31, 1982. Upon a motion by Councilman Medders, Mr. Eugene C. Oldershaw, lll6 Radcliffe Avenue, was reappointed to the Fire Department Civil Service Board. Upon a motion by Councilman Bleecker, Mr. Eugene C. Oldershaw's reappointment to the Fire Department Civil Service Board, was made for a 5 year term to expire December 31, 1981, to bring it back into the proper sequence with the other appointments on this board. Upon 4209 Chadbourn a motion by Councilman Barton, Mr. Pete Caciuc, Street, was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board of Charity Appeals and Solicitations, term expiring October l, 1978. Mayor Hart strongly suggested that the press request all service clubs, fraternal organizations and churches to endorse and become active in the "Neighborhood Block Watch Program" to aid the community in policing and protecting neighborhoods. Councilman Bleecker stated that if any citizen wishes to participate in the "Neighborhood Block Watch Program" to please contact Sergeant Steen at the Bakersfield Police Department and he will place their name on the list. Reports. Councilman Bleecker, Chairman of the Governmental Efficiency and Personnel Committee, read Report No. 1-77 regarding Police Unit Petition for Recognition, as follows: On December 9, 1976, the City Manager received a petition from the International Brotherhood of Police O£ficers (IBPO) requesting formal exclusive recognition of the City's Police Unit. This petition was submitted to the City's designated representative, the Governmental Efficiency and Personnel Committee on Wednesday, December 15, 1976, at which time the committee noted several discrepancies in the union request. The City Manager was instructed by this Bakersfield, California, January 3, 1977 - Page 5 389 committee to inform the IBPO representative that their petition was not in compliance with the requirement of Section 3.16.090 o£ the Municipal Code. The representative of IBPO was also informed that as soon as these dis- crepancies were corrected the GEP Committee would act on their request. On December 21, 1976, the City Manager received a corrected petition and on Tuesday, December 28, 1976, the GEP Committee met and approved their petition for recognition. Since the number of signatures requesting recognition by the IBPO is just slightly over 50% of the eligible employees within the Police Unit, the GEP Committee concurred unanimously that an election should be held. In order to conduct this election it will be necessary for the City Council to approve the attached list of classifications assigned to the various employee units in the City's Employer-Employee Relations Ordinance, Supplemental Rules and Regulations. Since this ordinance provides that only sworn police officers may seek union representation, the City Attorney has advised that the present Police Unit which contains non-sworn employees be modified. The GEP Committee is, therefore, recommending that the classifications of Parking and Traffic Officer and Community Service Technician be removed from the Police Unit and placed in the White Collar Unit. Meet and confer sessions have been held with the Service Employees International Union which represents the City's White Collar Unit employees regarding these changes and they concur with this action. Upon a motion by Councilman Bleecker, Report No. 1-77 of the Governmental Efficiency and Personnel Committee regarding Police Unit Petition for Recognition, was accepted; list of classifications assigned to various employee units in the City's Employer-Employee Relations Ordinance, Supplemental Rules and Regulations, was approved; and classifications of Parking and Traffic Officer and Community Service Technician were removed from the Police Unit and placed in the White Collar Unit. Councilman Bleecker read a letter from the California Teamsters Public, Professional and Medical Employees Union, Local 911, as follows: 39O Bakersfield, California, January 3, 1977 - Page 6 December 29, 1976 Mr. Keith Bleecker Chairman GEP Committee Bakersfield City Hall 1501 ?ruxtun Avenue Bakersfield, California 93301 Dear Mr. Bleecker: Please accept this communication as a formal document of intent fo intervene in the petitioned bargaining unit known as Police Officers and Sergeants employed by the City of Bakersfield. Upon appropriate demand and instruction ~rom the City, our organization will supply sufficient proof of interest by employees within the above mentioned bargaining unit. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, TEAMSTERS LOCAL 911 A. Dotson Bennett Secretary-Treasurer Councilman Bleecker stated that the City Manager is writing a letter to the California Teamsters - Public, Professional and Medical Employees Union, Local 911, suggesting to them that when they refer to Police Officers and Sergeants as being in the unit that that is not proper and that the Sergeants are not in the Police Unit. Also, on their request for a demand and instruc- tion from the City, that they are being sent, without comment, a copy of the Ordinance that applies to intervening in a union contested election in the City of Bakersfield. Upon a motion by Councilman Rogers, report from the City Attorney and City Manager regarding Formulation of Conflict of Interest Codes by designated Agencies of the City of Bakersfield, was received and referred to the Governmental Ef£iciency and Personnel Committee for preliminary review and report to the full Council at a later date. City Manager Bergen read a memorandum regarding Urban and Coastal Park Bond Act of 1976, as follows: Bakersfield, California, January 3, 1977 - Page 7 391 With the passage of the Urban and Coastal Park Bond Act of 1976 on November 2, 1976, the City of Bakersfield will become eligible for state park funds under this program. It is first necessary, however, that a county wide "Priority Plan for Expenditure" for all eligible govern- mental entities in Kern County be formulated and submitted to the state. The County of Kern has requested that the City Council appoint a City representative to assist in the formulation of this plan. In 1974, the City Council appointed Charles Graviss, Auditorium-Recreation Manager, to serve as the City's representative in connection with the formulation of a similar plan for the State Park Bond Act of 1974. The County requests that the City notify them in writing by January 7, 1977, as to its representative. As a result, an appointment must be made at the Council meeting of January 3, 1977. Based on his £amiliarity with the process, I would suggest that the Council appoint Mr. Graviss again. Upon a motion by Councilman Medders, Charles Graviss, Auditorium-Recreation Manager, or his designated representative, were appointed as the City's representative to assist in the formulation of County-Wide "Priority Plan for Expenditure" of State Park Funds.

First reading of an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Bakersfield amending Section 11.04.763 of the Municipal Code concerning Speed Limit on Auburn Street. This ordinance would increase the speed limit on Auburn Street between Oswell Street and Tartan Place from 35 MPH to 45 MPH. The Traffic Engineer has determined upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that the increase would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe. The Traffic Engineer recommends that the Council make this determination and adopt the ordinance. Bakersfield, California, January 3, 1977 - Page 12 Mrs. Joy Lane, 51010jai Drive, submitted a letter recommending that before adoption of the ordinance that would increase the speed limit on Auburn Street that the Council refer it to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation in conjunction with the other proposals affecting Auburn Street and the Traffic Engineer furnish data on traffic speed and bicycle safety as it relates to that street. Mrs. Vera Zarzana, 3608 Rampart Street, President of Chipman Junior High School P.T.A., stated that she could not support the increase in the speed limit on Auburn Street because of the parent~ concern for the safety of small children and requested that the ordinance not be adopted until such time as other access is provided to the school complex. Mrs. Zarzana suggested that renewed emphasis be made on safety for both pedestrians and young drivers through the schools and parent organizations. Also, as Auburn Street is actually a school road for the majority of users it could use additional caution signs, such as, "School Zone - Drive With Care" and "Children In The Area." Traffic Engineer Hahs reported on the investigations that were made of traffic on Auburn Street and the reason for the recommendation to increase the speed limit. Mrs. Jill Haddad, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated that they would be happy to place the matter of the speed limit on Auburn Street on their Agenda for Wednesday night. Community Development Director Foster stated that the earliest the Planning Commission could discuss the E.I.R. on the proposed zone changes and development along Auburn Street would be January 19, 1977.
