Minutes of a regular meeting of the Council of the City
of Bakersfield, California, held in the Council Chambers of City
Hall at 8:00 P. 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.

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:

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 Chapter 7.44, Massage Ser-
vices and Massage Establishments.
This amendment deletes that portion of the ordinance
which the Supreme Court determined has been superseded by State
law.
First reading was considered given an Ordinance of the
Council of the City of Bakersfield amending Chapter 7.44, Massage
Services and Massage Establishments.
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.
After discussion, upon a motion by Councilman Rogers,
first reading was considered given an Ordinance of the Council of
the City of Bakersfield amending Section 11.04.763 of the Municipal
Bakersfield, California, January 3, 1977 - Page 13

Code concerning Speed Limit on Auburn Street and any further action
on this ordinance was deferred until such time as a report is made
by the Planning Commission.
