reason he voted no on Item 1 of the Consent Calendar is that
City Council policy is that whenever possible, staff would come
forth with a proposal on an item and if the Council feels the
item needs further work, then it would be referred to
Committee, or if the Council feels that they can change the
recommendation or modify it, they could do so as well. With
respect to this control report from Peat Marwick, he feels this
is something staff could report back to Council with, and by
sending it to Committee, which is closed to the public, he
feels that is not good public policy.

REPORTS
Upon a motion by Vice Mayor Peterson, Report No. 4-90
from the Urban Development Committee regarding extension of
Emergency Ordinance No. 3227 requiring a Conditional Use Permit
for Housing in the Redevelopment Project Area, was moved
forward on the Agenda to be heard at this time.
Vice Mayor Peterson, Chairperson of the Urban
Development Committee, read Report No. 4-90 regarding extension
of Emergency Ordinance No. 3227 requiring a Conditional Use
Permit for Housing in the Redevelopment Project Area as
follows:
The subject Ordinance was referred to this
Committee on March 13, 1990. The Committee
met on April 9, 1990, to discuss the
proposed extension.
The Committee was informed that the
Ordinance would expire on April 26, 1990,
and that the extension was necessary
because work has not been completed on the
update of the Redevelopment Element of the
City's General Plan. The element will
examine the issues of compatibility of
residential uses in an area that is
primarily urban commercial.
Bakersfield, California, April 18, 1990 - Page 6
It was explained that while the Ordinance
is in effect all housing in the project
area will require a conditional use permit.
Therefore, the Ordinance would not prohibit
housing in the project area.
The matter has been scheduled for public
hearing on this agenda and it is
recommended that the extension be granted.
Upon a motion by Vice Mayor Peterson,
Development Committee Report No. 4-90 was accepted.

REPORTS
Councilmember DeMond, Chairperson of the Legislative
and Litigation Committee, read Report No. 1-90 regarding
Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 (McClintock) as follows:
At the meeting of March 21, 1990, the City
Council referred to the Legislative and
Litigation Committee a request for comment
on Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1,
regarding state-mandated local programs.
The Committee met to review ACA 1, which
attempts to deal legislatively with costs
of prograins mandated by the State and borne
by local governments without reimbursement.
ACA 1 died in the Elections,
Reapportionment and Constitutional
Amendments Committee on March 14. Other
legislation is expected to be forthcoming
dealing with the issue of state-mandated
local programs.
No further action is required at this time.
The Committee will continue to monitor
legislative endeavors regarding this issue.
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, Legislative
and Litigation Committee Report No. 1-90 was accepted.
Vice Mayor Peterson read Budget and Finance Committee
Report No. 6-90 regarding Appointment of Firm to Conduct Annual
Audit as follows:
The appointment of a firm to conduct the
City of Bakersfield annual audit, in
accordance with Section 41 of the City
Charter, was presented to the Budget and
Finance Committee for review. All local
CPA firms and the big six international
accounting firms were contacted to
determine their interest in providing audit
services to the City of Bakersfield.
Thirteen firms expressed interest and were
sent a request for proposal. Five firms
submitted the requested information,
background and cost of services. The five
proposals were reviewed by staff and the
Finance Director recommended three for the
Committee's consideration.
The Committee has met with representatives
from three firms:

Brown, Waits and Armstrong
Price Waterhouse
Bakersfield, California, April 18, 1990 - Page 8
Each firm met with the Committee and made a
presentation of their experience,
professional staff, time estimates,
available support services, cost estimates
and other information relevant to their
ability to conduct the audit.
The Committee considered among other
things, the need for rotation of auditors
who may provide a fresh look and different
audit approach. The Committee has reviewed
this information and it is the opinion of
the Committee that the proposal submitted
by the firm of Brown, Waits and Armstrong
would provide audit services which best
meet the needs of the City of Bakersfield.
The Committee would expect the cost for
services submitted in subsequent years to
be adjusted only for increases in cost of
living and additional duties not
contemplated in the request for approval.
It is anticipated that we would extend the
contract for additional years to achieve
economies for audit services. The Council
has adopted a policy that the term for the
audit contract be for a one-year period,
with four one-year extensions.
Therefore, this Committee recommends the
City Council accept the proposal dated
February 22, 1990, in an amount not to
exceed $44,100, for full scope audit
services, and appoint the accounting firm
of Brown, Waits and Armstrong as City
auditors for the Fiscal Year ending
June 30, 1990. We further recommend the
other audit firms be notified of the
Council's action.
Upon a motion by Vice Mayor Peterson, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 6-90 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Vice Mayor Peterson, the accounting
firm of Brown, Waits & Armstrong was appointed as auditors for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1990.
Councilmember Smith, Chairperson of the
Intergovernmental Relations Committee, read Report No. 2-90
regarding Agreement with County of Kern for Fair Housing
Program as follows:
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee
recently met with representatives of Kern
County to discuss the extension of the
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kern
County for operation of the Fair Housing
Program for both the City and County,
administered by the Kern County Department
of Weights and Measures.
Bakersfield, California, April 18, 1990 - Page 9
On October 18, 1989, the City and County
executed an amendment which extended the
term of the MOU by six months. This
proposed amendment will extend the term of
the agreement through October 31, 1990, and
increase the operating budget for the
period of November 1, 1989, to October 31,
1990, from $~15,000 to $123,760. The
City's contribution will be half the cost
($61,880).
The Committee met with both City and County
staff and representatives from the Kern
County Board of Supervisors several times
to discuss concerns regarding the direction
of the program. County staff explained
that improvements have been made in
clarifying the mission of the program and
implementing the work program. Members of
this Committee urged County staff to
continue to promote professionalism and
objectivity in the implementation of this
program, which by its nature can create
adversarial situations which can be
difficult to mitigate. The Committee
expressed its desire for both City and
County staff to continue to work during the
six-month extension period to further
refine and improve the effectiveness of the
program.
Therefore, this Committee recommends that
the City Council authorize the Mayor to
execute Amendment No. 2 to Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of
Bakersfield Agreement No. 88-267 and County
of Kern Agreement No. 555-88 (Fair
Housing).

At the April 4, 1990, City Council meeting,
a letter from the Bakersfield Art
Foundation requesting the Cunningham
Memorial Art Gallery name be changed to the
Bakersfield Museum of Art was referred to
the Convention Center and Community
Services Committee.

Councilmember Brunni, Chairperson of the Convention
Center and Community Services Committee, read Report No. 6-90
regarding an Ordinance relating to Validation Proceedings for
Maintenance Districts as follows:
The issue of an Ordinance relating to
Validation Proceedings for Maintenance
District Proceedings has been referred to
the Convention Center and Community
Services Committee for review and action.
The Committee met with staff to discuss
this issue.
This Ordinance allows for the initiation of
Validating Proceedings by the City or any
interested person within 60 days of the
establishment of a City-wide maintenance
district or approval of any maintenance
district annual budget and assessment.
This allows the City to obtain a judicial
declaration that the actions it took were
valid. It also limits the time for other
persons to challenge the validity of those
actions to 60 days after establishment of a
maintenance district or approval of any
maintenance district annual budget and
assessment.
Bakersfield, California, April 18, 1990 - Page 11
Center
accepted.
A determination of validity of the Superior
Court would enable the City to take actions
in reliance on the establishment of
maintenance districts or approval of any
maintenance district annual budget and
assessment without concern for the
possibility of a later challenge to its
proceedings.
The Committee considered this an emergency
ordinance, deciding instead to recommend
that this ordinance be adopted following
the City's standard procedure.
Based on the above, this Committee
recommends the attached ordinance be
adopted and considered as first reading.

District.

Councilmember Salvaggio stated that the reason he
voted no is because there are members in the community who are
being taxed twice. They are being taxed for the maintenance of
parks in their neighborhoods and they are also being taxed for
the cost of maintaining parks in other areas of the City.
Vice Mayor Peterson stated that the reason he
abstained was because he felt that the public's feeling was if
there is going to be a tax, put it on the ballot and let the
public vote on it.
Councilmember Edwards stated that the Council's no
vote is not necessarily a no vote against the City-wide park
maintenance district, but the particular plan before the
Council. He suggested staff come up with a plan that the
Council can support that is long-term and compreheasive.
Councilmember Smith stated that she based her
decision on the people and on the results of the survey. She
felt the people were not in favor of a parks maintenance
district.
Councilmember DeMond stated that the protest hearing
was not the adequate forum and that a better program should be
implemented to put this matter on the ballot.
Councilmember Brunni stated that since the parks are
open to everyone, each person should pay equally for this
service instead of making some people pay twice.
