WORKSHOP
City Council Agenda and Minutes Preparation.
City Manager Hawley stated that the purpose of this
Workshop was to take another look at the Agenda and Minutes to
determine if additional changes can be made to streamline the
Council meetings. He introduced City Clerk Williams, who gave a
brief presentation regarding the preparation of Action Minutes,
which is basically a simplified system of keeping the record.
City Clerk Williams advised that the major changes
would be eliminating Council's remarks made for the record and
clarification of votes. She stated that the tapes could be
retained either permanently or for six years. It will be
necessary to amend Section 2.04 of the Municipal Code if the
action style is approved.
Councilmember McDermott suggested that the tapes be
kept permanently if Action Minutes are used.
City Attorney Lunardini gave a presentation regarding
Agenda preparation and suggested changes with respect to the
following:
Ordinances that are currently put on
the Agenda under New Business for
First Reading could be placed under
a separate heading "Pass for Publication",
and acted on simultaneously similar to
the Consent Calendar.
Councilmember DeMond suggested staff come
back with a procedure to handle ordinances
in the manner suggested.
In an effort to get more bids on the
Consent Calendar, all bids between
$20,000 and $50,000 could be placed on
the Consent Calendar.
Councilmember McDermott suggested the
figures be changed to between $20,000
and $40,000.
Bakersfield, California, September 11, 1991 - Page 2
The wording for the amendments to the
Zoning Code regarding zoning map changes
could be shortened. Additionally, with
regard to annexations to a new ward, the
ordinance would state that the boundaries
of a specific ward are amended to include
the property within the specific
annexation and a legal description of
the annexation, rather than the legal
description of the ward itself.
Councilmember DeMond suggested staff look
into the procedures to implement both of
those changes.
4 o
The items appearing on the Agenda as
Deferred Business could be summarized
when read by the Clerk, and staff will
come back with a policy that Council
could vote on so the Clerk would then
have that as a manual.
Councilmember DeMond suggested staff
prepare guidelines for the Clerk to
use for this purpose.
5o
Changes of a substantive nature to
ordinances can be made between the
first and second reading as long as
they relate directly and absolutely
to the first reading.
Councilmember Peterson stated he
felt it was a good suggestion.
City Attorney Lunardini suggested
that Council look at the possibility,
at some point in the future, of doing
away with first reading and pass
ordinances immediately.
Councilmembers McDermott, Salvaggio
and DeMond expressed their interest
in retaining first reading.
Agendas will be printed one-sided for
Councilmembers only; all others will
receive two-sided Agendas.
Councilmember McDermott requested, with regard to
Committee Reports, that the motion to accept the report and to
implement the recommendations be made as one motion.

COUNCIL STATEMENTS
Councilmember Brunni referred to the Parks Department,
a letter she received from Karen Reep, 9021 Crowningshield Drive,
dated September 1, 1991, regarding "Landscaping in Progress"
signs that have been in the median strip, on White Lane west of
Gosford Road, for many weeks with no sign of activity.
Councilmember Brunni stated she received a memorandum
regarding a Section 125 Plan, and she would like to see a Child
Care option implemented by the end of this year so that the
participants can get the tax benefit for the full year.
Councilmember Brunni requested a report come back to
the Council regarding a statement she heard at the Bakersfield
Association of Realtors' meeting today that Bakersfield's utility
rates are among the highest in the State.
Councilmember Brunni requested that, with regard to the
Closed Session items that were removed from this evening's
Agenda, the City Manager investigate this matter and determine if
there is a problem that the Council should be aware of and, if
so, to report back to the Council by October 2, 1991.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, the problem of
encroachments on the Bakersfield Landfill Site was referred to
the Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
Councilmember Smith thanked the Mojave Pipeline
Operating Company for a $5,000 check that was sent to City
Manager Hawley for the City's Frozen Tree Replacement Program.
City Manager Hawley advised that the money has been
placed in a special trust account fund to be used only for this
particular purpose to replace trees that were damaged, and it is
estimated that approximately 50 trees can be replaced. He
further advised that he will be sending a letter of thanks.
Councilmember DeMond noted that the contract person on
Mojave Pipeline is Mr. Needham, and perhaps he realizes how much
the City would benefit from this gracious offer. She advised
that any offer from any other corporate entity out there who
would like to assist the City in a like manner will be
appreciated.
