REPORTS
Upon a motion by Councilmember Demond, Report
No. 2-90 from the City Manager regarding Unreinforced Masonry
Building Ordinance, was brought forward to be heard prior to
Public Statements.
Report No. 2-90 from the City Manager
regarding Unreinforced Masonry Building
Ordinance.
Correspondence has been received from Wilson Call,
Architect, regarding the ordinance.
City Manager Dale Hawley read Report No. 2-90
regarding Unreinforced Masonry Building Ordinance as follows:
At the conclusion of the City Council's
hearing on January 10, 1990, the
Unreinforced Masonry (URM) Building
Ordinance was referred back to staff for
study and recommendation with a comment
that an expanded committee would be
appropriate to study additional URM issues
raised at the hearing.
Although the committee includes some
members who own buildings downtown, it is
recommended that the expanded committee
include representation from the Downtown
Business Association, Historic Preservation
Commission and East Bakersfield. Since
downtown and East Bakersfield are in
Ward 2, it would seem appropriate to have
Councilmember DeMond make nominations for
those appointments. The committee's
purpose would also be expanded from that of
drafting an ordinance to that of developing
a more comprehensive long-range strategy
including financial assistance, time
schedules, and a refinement of the
priorities to mitigate the hazards. It
would consider such other things as type of
building occupancy, building height and
reinforcement work already done.
Pending the committee's report back to the
City Council, I recommend the following:
The status of unreinforced masonry
buildings should be recorded in the
County Recorder's Office so that
potential buyers of property are
officially advised of its status
and their potential exposure.
Notice of intent to record should
be provided owners o f such
buildings and they should be given
an opportunity to present to the
Building Director evidence that
their structures do not fall within
the definition of a URM building.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 Page 8
e
Once it is determined that a
building is a URM building, signs
at the entrances of buildings
should be posted to warn tenants,
employees and customers of the
potential hazard. The Building
Director should specify the size,
location and wording of those signs
pursuant to an ordinance to be
adopted requiring such signs.
The City should, whenever possible,
work with individuals who desire
financial assistance to strengthen
their buildings. Such assistance
may be available from historic
preservation grants, tax
increments, block grant funds,
Small Business Administration
Loans, or Mello-Roose district
establishment.
Some owners have expressed a desire
to reinforce their buildings. The
owners and designers need to know
what standard they should comply
with. The same is true where a
certificate of occupancy is needed
on a change of use or when a
dangerous building is posted.
Standards for the strengthening of
the URM buildings should be
included in our codes. The
adoption of the standard in itself
does not require the property
owners to do anything.
A recent article appeared in the "L.A.
Times" about the State Seismic Safety
Commission' s concern over lack of
compliance with the law by others. I have
attached it to keep you informed on the
State's position or reaction to various
responses to the law by different
jurisdictions.
I would also like to add, as of yesterday,
January 23, 1990, out of 301 cities and
counties with URM buildings, 153 have
completed their inventories, and 95 have
implemented mitigation programs.
It is recommended that the City Council
approve implementation of this report.
Councilmember DeMond asked for public participation.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 - Page 9
Mr. Charles Drew, President of the Downtown Business
Association, read the following:
One aspect of the URM issue which remains
constant after working on this problem over
the last seven weeks is that there are many
more questions than answers. Each side has
continued to put forth its arguments and
support of their point of view, but very
little helpful information has come to
light. The plan proposed by the Downtown
Business Association was very simple. Form
a new committee with a broad cross section
of citizens, the committee would establish
or should establish potential risk
standards and an appropriate mitigation
plan to address those potential risks
taking into account the social and economic
impact on the community, and thirdly, this
planning process should be done with the
help of the public and local citizens who
have unique knowledge of this issue.
Unfortunately, this should have been the
plan in place prior to the City's premature
release of the potential UR~ building list.
Unfortunately, many citizens now feel that
the property owners in the business
community are pressuring the City Council
to ignore the potential problem. That is
absolutely not the case. The DBA is
extremely concerned about public safety and
we welcome a public dialogue with anyone on
this issue. Let us not forget the DBA held
the first public URM on January 3, 1990,
and we will be hosting more meetings in the
future. From what we have learned in the
last few days, it appears unlikely that we
can expect much help from the legislature
this year. The governor's veto of the
Mello-Roose District package means only
residential buildings can expect State aid,
SBA loans are highly unlikely, and other
federal funds are just as tight. The
Seismic Safety Commission handbook tells us
that the building owners and the public
should be involved in the development of
the mitigation program. We feel this has
not been the case and we need to return to
this process before any additional action
is taken. This is a difficult problem
where we cannot expect everyone to agree,
but let's take a common sense approach to
the solution. The business community needs
to have the faith in our elected officials
and City staff that they are sensitive to
our concerns, and the public should be
aware that businesses are very concerned
for the public's safety. After all, it is
also the safety of our customers, our
employees, our families and ourselves.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 - Page 10
Ms. Diane Rotondo, Greater Bakersfield Chamber of
Commerce, requested that the City Council take no action on
unreinforced masonry buildings until an expanded community
committee is formed and has time to thoroughly study the
options to the problems presented, including the legislation
which is now pending in the State Legislature as a result of
the recent Bay Area earthquake.
Attorney Gary O'Neil, representing the Downtown
Business Association, spoke in opposition to the signage
recommendation contained in Report No. 2-90.
Mr. Fred McKenna, past President of the Downtown
Business Association, spoke in opposition to the signage
recommendation contained in Report No. 2-90.
Ms. Beverly Burke, business owner at 1512 18th
Street, spoke in opposition to Report No. 2-90 regarding
Unreinforced Masonry Building Ordinance.
Mr. Egan Gost, URM business owner, spoke in
opposition to Report No. 2-90 regarding Unreinforced Masonry
Building Ordinance.
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, the
recommendations of City Manager's Report No. 2-90 were referred
to an expanded Advisory Committee with a list of the expanded
Committee to be presented to the Council February 7, 1990, by
the following roll call vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Edwards, DeMond, Smith, Brunni,
Peterson, McDermott, Salvaggio
Noes: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
Mayor Medders recessed the meeting at 8:35 p.m., and
the meeting was reconvened at 8:40 p.m.
PUBLIC STATEMENTS
Mr. Gene Tacket, 1001 21st Street, spoke regarding
State budget and ambulance rates and read the following:
Governor Deukmejian's proposed 1990-91
State budget recommends the elimination of
funding for medical transportation from the
Medi-Cal Program. Services to Medi-Cal
patients represent about 20 percent of Hall
Ambulance Service's business. This loss of
income would have a drastic effect on Hall
Ambulance Service's ability to provide the
level of service that is demanded in the
City of Bakersfield. If ambulance Medi-Cal
reimbursements are not restored to the
proposed 1990-91 State budget, which begins
July 1, 1990, Hall Ambulance Service will
be forced to request an increase in the
ambulance rates allowed in the City of
Bakersfield. I request that you inform our
legislatures and the Governor of the
negative effect that this budget proposal
will have on the residents of the City of
Bakersfield. I have attached a copy of the
letter Hall Ambulance Service sent to our
legislatures. Thank you for your time and
assistance in this most important matter.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 - Page 11
Councilmember McDermott requested that this matter be
referred to the City Manager's Office to prepare a letter to
the Governor and the legislature.
Dr. Larry Cho, Medical Director, Valley Industrial
Medical Group, 2501 "G" Street, also representing Occupational
Medical Group and Medi-Center, presented correspondence and
spoke regarding the City's workers' compensation medical care
and pre-placement physical contract. (This correspondence was
referred to the Budget and Finance Committee.)
Mr. Bernard Bogatte, 1101-23 Oleander, spoke
regarding Report No. 3-90 pertaining to the Fox Theatre.

REPORTS
Councilmember Peterson, Chairperson of the Urban
Development Committee, read Report No. 2-90 regarding
appointment of an eighth Planning Commissioner as follows:
The Urban Development Committee has been
meeting quarterly with a Planning
Commission committee as directed by the
City Council to consider planning issues.
In our discussion of the Planning
Commission's organization, it was suggested
that an alternate eighth Planning
Commissioner would be beneficial.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 Page 19
There have been times when the Planning
Commission has had to schedule special
meetings, cancel meetings and adjourn for
lack of a quorum because of absences and
conflicts of interest. At other times,
even though the Commission has had a
majority (4) present, they have felt
uncomfortably shorthanded dealing with
issues before them. During general plan
hearings four affirmative votes are
required to change the plan. Some
applicants feel they are at a disadvantage
if only four Commissioners can hear the
case and a unanimous vote is required of
them for approval.
The advantage of having an alternate
Commissioner first came up while we were
considering the appointment procedure for
Planning Commissioners. Having an
alternate would make a vacancy less of a
serious problem for the Commission because
that person could sit as a regular member
while the Council went through its
recruitment and appointment of a regular
member. The alternative could apply for
appointment to the regular seat or express
a preference to reassume the alternate
position upon appointment to the vacated
regular term. The City Council could then
take the time necessary to recruit
qualified candidates for the regular
position without feeling rushed by
circumstance of a vacancy.
Appointment of the alternate Planning
Commissioner should follow the regular
appointment process adopted by the City
Council.
The Commissioner would attend all meetings
of the Planning Commission, study all the
same material, file conflict of interest
statements, take the place o f any
disqualified or absent Commissioner and
receive the same $25 per meeting stipend.
During the Committee's discussion of
appointments, terms of office and ethics,
the Committee confirmed that Planning
Commissioners serve at the pleasure of the
City Council. However, this is not
addressed by the curcent code. We felt it
should be clearly stated. We also
recommend that at least five affirmative
votes by the Council be required to remove
a Planning Commissioner from office.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 - Page 20
A draft ordinance is attached to this
report which would authorize appointment of
the alternate Commissioner and state the
City Council's authority to remove a
Planning Commissioner. Since two Planning
Commission terms expire in April, and we
will be accepting applications for those in
the upcoming months, it would be timely to
have this ordinance in place if sufficient
candidates are available for appointment.
It is recommended that this report be
implemented by considering the attached
ordinance as first reading and subsequently
adopting it.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, Urban
Development Committee Report No. 2-90 was accepted.
First Reading of an Ordinance of the
Council of the City of Bakersfield amending
Section 2.28.030 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code relating to membership of
Placing Commission.
City Manager Dale Hawley read City Manager's Report
No. 1-90 regarding Request to Reinstitute Citizens Committee as
follows:
Over the past several years the City has
grown in population, size and complexity.
Along with this growth has come increased
demands on Councilmembers ' time and
energies. Unfortunately, along with the
increased Council responsibilities, public
awareness of the time and financial
commitments which must be made by
Councilmembers has not occurred.
At this time, I am requesting Council's
permission to reinstitute the Charter
Review Committee to review Councilmember
activities as they are today. The focus
will be to provide our citizens with a
current view of the tasks which their
Councilmembers perform day-to-day. This
would entail, among others, interviews with
Councilmembers and community leaders as
well as a comparison of compensation paid
to Councilmembers in other cities.
Information on the findings of the
committee will be disseminated to the
public through the media as well as public
speaking engagements. The Charter Review
Committee is an excellent resource for this
task as it already has an in-depth
knowledge of the City through its work with
Charter review.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 Page 21
It is expected that all members of the
original committee might not be able to
again assist the City in this endeavor.
Because of this, I am also requesting
permission to add replacement members as
needed and to consult with members on a
name for the committee which more
accurately reflects its current task. I
would expect the committee could complete
its task within three to six months.
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, City Manager's
Report No. 1-90 was accepted.
Councilmember Salvaggio requested that staff provide
to Councilmembers Brunni and Edwards, as well as members of the
Citizens Committee, copies of the Citizen Awareness of Mayor
and Council Roles which was prepared in May of 1989.
Councilmember Salvaggio requested that Council be
sensitive to having a cross-section for replacement members.
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, the requests
of City Manager's Report No. 1-90 were approved.
City Manager Dale Hawley read City Manager's Report
No. 3-90 regarding the Fox Theatre as follows:
On January 10, 1990, Mr. Daniel P. Coffey,
representing the architectural firm of
Daniel P. Coffee and Associates, presented
to the Council at a workshop session, a
master plan study of the Bakersfield Fox
Theatre located at 20th and "H" Streets.
Mr. Coffey's report indicates that the
facility could be restored or renovated
based on his findings that the structure is
sound, the original design lends itself
well for modifications and opportunities
exist for possible expansion.
Mr. Coffey's report indicates three
options:
A minimum facility primarily in its
current configuration would require
$2 - $2.5 million.
A project including room
modifications and additional
equipment would cost approximately
$4.7 million.
A project which would include a
restored facility with currently
designed features would cost
$5.9 million.
These budget figures are exclusive of
engineering services, bonding, architect's
and consultant's fees that could range from
$580,000 to $727,000. Also not i~cluded
are funds for acquisition and asbestos
removal.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 Page 22
Mr. Coffey's report estimates that current
construction costs for a new facility would
be $15-20 million.
Staff estimates the annual budget for the
Fox Theatre to be approximately $320,000.
Revenues including rental of commercial
space are estimated at $100,000 annually.
Therefore, an annual subsidy of $220,000
would be required.
It is obvious that this project cannot
proceed without community-wide funding
support. Therefore, I recommend the master
plan study be accepted and placed on file
at the City Clerk's office with additional
copies available for review at the
Auditorium Department and City Manager's
office. Also, that a letter be sent to the
property owner, the various arts, theatre
and other user groups to see if they are
interested in pursuing a restoration or
renovation project.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, City
Manager's Report No. 3-90 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, the
recommendations of City Manager's Report No. 3-90 were
implemented.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, City
Manager's Report No. 4-90 was added to the Agenda as an item on
which action is necessary and which arose after the Agenda was
prepared, by the following roll call vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Edwards, DeMond, Smith, Brunni,
Peterson, McDermott, Salvaggio
Noes: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
City Manager Dale Hawley read City Manager's Report
No. 4-90 regarding Health Care for Retirees as follows:
At the request of several retirees, I have
reviewed the notes in our files, discussed
with the staff involved with health care
negotiations and talked to Mr. David
McCleary, our previous health care
consultant, and I have concluded that the
City made a commitment to the retirees that
the separation of their group from the
active employees would not result in the
retirees being penalized for the
separation. Separation of the groups
caused the cost for retired employees'
health insurance to increase at a much
faster rate. Mr. McCleary's recommendation
was to use part of the savings from active
employee premiums to offset part of the
increase for the retiree premiums. In
effect, the retiree Blue Cross premiums
should be subsidized approximately 42%.
Bakersfield, California, January 24, 1990 - Page 23
In my report to the Council on December 13,
1989, I recommended that the Medical
Reserve Trust Account contribute $240,328
toward retiree Blue Cross premiums, which
was the same amount as last year, in
addition to a $202,000 General Fund
contribution for this year. However, in
order for the subsidy to equal 42% of 1990
premiums, the Trust Account contribution
should be increased to $352,000.
The City's funding of retiree health
premiums is one of the items that our
professional health care advisor will be
reviewing. However, until this work is
completed, I recommend that the Council
accept this report and approve the Trust
Account contribution of up to $352,000 for
1990. This amount does not take into
account any shift of retirees away from
Blue Cross which, if any, would result in a
smaller subsidy than being recommended.
Councilmember Salvaggio made a motion to accept City
Manager's Report No. 4-90.
Upon a substitute motion by Councilmember McDermott,
this matter was postponed to February 7, 1990, by the following
