HEARINGS
This is the time set for a public hearing
to consider an Ordinance of the Council of
the City of Bakersfield requiring the
strengthening of unreinforced masonry
buildings and the time for compliance.
Correspondence has been received from
Griffin Communication, dated January 8,
1990, in opposition to the proposed
Ordinance.
Correspondence has also been received from
the Downtown Business Association, dated
January 1 0, 1 990, regarding the
Unreinforced Masonry Committee.
This hearing has been duly advertised and posted as
required by law.
City Manager Dale Hawley stated that the staff
recommendation is that no action be taken on the draft
Ordinance and that this is the first opportunity for property
owners to be heard. He suggested that Council receive input
and then refer the item to staff or to the URM Committee, and
if it is referred to the Committee, he suggested that the
Committee be expanded to include more representatives from the
area.
Building Director Cal Bidwell provided a
chronological history of events leading up to the noticed
hearing of the draft Ordinance pertaining to unreinforced
masonry buildings.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, Council will
abide by the regular Council rules of allowing fifteen minutes
for each side to speak and five minutes for rebuttal.
Mayor Medders declared the hearing open for public
participation.
Ms. Diane Rotondo, Greater Bakersfield Chamber of
Commerce, read a letter sent to City Manager Dale Hawley on
January 4, 1990, as follows:
The unreinforced masonry ordinance draft is
scheduled for a hearing January 10, 1990.
I understand that the committee and staff
spent considerable time in developing this
draft and commend their efforts. Dale of
the Chamber was invited to participate, and
I was able to attend a part of one meeting.
However, I did not contribute to nor was I
or anyone from the Chamber involved in the
development of this ordinance. I was
contacted by Cal Bidwell's office and, of
course, had to decline signing. I was very
disappointed to find that my name was not
removed from the draft. Please have this
done before the Council meeting on the 10th
and before further disbursement of the
draft ordinance.
Bakersfield, California, January 70, 1990 - Page 6
As you know, the Chamber has not taken a
position on this ordinance. There doesn't
appear to be an easy answer. Yet an
appropriate alternative must be identified
that is acceptable to all involved. One
consideration is that possibly all
financial assistance avenues have not been
explored. The Chamber is prepared to
participate as a part of a more
representative community group, including
many of those impacted. As the County and
other cities are still considering
alternatives, we feel there is time for
further evaluation and consideration of
other local approaches to solving this
problem that impacts us all.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Diane Rotondo.
Mr. Charles Drew, President of the Downtown Business
Association, stated there are copies of tapes of the public
meeting which the Downtown Business Association sponsored on
January 3, 1990. He stated they are distilling a list of
questions submitted in writing by the public at that meeting,
and that list will be available at the end of the week. He
also stated they have a Background Statement and a Statement of
Findings that should be part of the plan that the Downtown
Business Association is proposing.
Mr. Curtis Darling, property owner on 19th Street,
spoke in opposition to his building being placed on the
unreinforced masonry building list.
Mr. Robert Kuyper, Pastor of Trinity United Methodist
Church in East Bakersfield, spoke in opposition to the draft
Ordinance pertaining to unreinforced masonry buildings.
Mr. Paul Dennis, property owner on 18th Street, spoke
in opposition to the draft Ordinance pertaining to unreinforced
masonry buildings.

pertaining to unreinforced masonry buildings.
Bakersfield, California, January 10, 1990 - Page 7
Mr. Jerry VanCuren read a letter dated January 10,
1990, regarding Unreinforced Masonry Mitigation Ordinance, as
follows:
During the past several months I served on
the committee appointed to study and
formulate this ordinance, and as you are
probably aware, I could not support sending
this proposed ordinance to your body for
consideration.
As the committee studied this problem, I
began to realize the serious results of the
implementation of an ordinance such as is
being proposed.
I feel this ordinance, if adopted, will
result in many people losing their
property, many owners being forced out of
business, and many tenants either closing
their doors and/or relocating out of
Central Bakersfield. We should also
recognize that when the old hotels are
closed, we will be creating more homeless
people in Bakersfield. Legislation such as
this should not be enacted without some
plan of recovery or funding in place.
Mr. Paul Wackerly, property owner at 19th and Eye
Streets, stated that the Council should put some concentrated
effort into bringing something into Bakersfield instead of
trying to take something out.
Mr. Egan Gost spoke in opposition to the draft
ordinance pertaining to unreinforced masonry buildings.
Mr. Dean Gay spoke in defense of the committee that
served with Mr. Cal Bidwell in formulating the draft ordiaance
pertaining to unreinforced masonry buildings and read a portioa
of a letter he prepared as follows:
It is very hard to get a feeling for this
problem unless one goes into the areas
affected to observe the buildings, then one
becomes aware there are in excess of one
million square feet of buildings affected.
The passing of State Law 547 has placed a
cloud of stagnation on every unreinforced
masonry building in Bakersfield, and until
the condition of the building is known and
repairs made, it will be difficult to sell
or lease the property for any price close
to its value prior to the Bill's passage.
If the City fails to pass an ordinance in
compliance with SB 547, it will not relieve
the owner, his agent or his tenant of
possible liability in case of a quake.
However, please don't pass the ordinance
and then say to the building owners, "it's
your problem now." It is my opinion this
is a community problem. The future of
Downtown depends on how we now handle the
issue now.

Bakersfield regarding Par Course, Kern River Parkway, as
follows:
We are a group of five individuals serving
on a group project as part of the
Leadership Bakersfield Program of the
Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce.
Our group's goal is to achieve the purchase
and installation of a Par Course in the
Kern River Parkway by June of 1990. We
intend to do so by seeking private 'party
contributions. Thereafter, we would
purchase the par course and donate it to
the City of Bakersfield for installation.
We have already met with City of
Bakersfield staff members who have
identified a location in the development of
Phase I along Truxtun Avenue at Mohawk
Street as the appropriate location.
326
Bakersfield, California, January 10, 1990 - Page 13
We request that this item be placed on the
next Agenda of the City Council for
approval or for referral to staff as is
appropriate. We have already identified
likely sources of funding, but those
sources will dry up if we are not able to
reach an agreement with the City regarding
location, installation by June 1990, and
other necessary items. We will be pleased
to work with you, the members of Council,
or members of the City s t a f f i n
