REPORTS
Councilmember DeMond, Chairperson of the Legislative
and Litigation Committee, read Report No. 6-90 regarding
Continued Brown Act Compliance, as follows:
By State law, compliance with many
provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act (the
"Brown Act"), relating to open meetings of
legislative bodies of public agencies, is
not required because reimbursement of such
agencies' costs was not included in the
State Budget.
The Committee believes it appropriate that
the Council go on record as committing the
City to voluntary compliance with all Brown
Act requirements and as supporting action
by the State Legislature to reinstate all
provisions of the Brown Act.
Accordingly, the Committee recommends that
the Council adopt the attached resolution.
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, Legislative
and Litigation Committee Report No. 6-90 was accepted.
Adoption of Resolution No. 116-90 of the
Council of the City of Bakersfield
requiring the observance of all provisions
of the Brown Act and supporting State
legislation reinstating all provisions of
the Brown Act.
Councilmember DeMond asked staff to make sure a copy
of the Resolution is directed to the appropriate State
legislature with a cover letter setting forth the intent of the
Resolution.
137
Bakersfield, California, August 22, 1990 - Page 6
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, Resolution
No. 116-90 of the Council of the City of Bakersfield was
adopted by the following roll call vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Edwards, DeMond, Smith, Brunni,
Peterson, McDermott, Salvaggio
Noes: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
Councilmember DeMond, Chairperson of the Legislative
and Litigation Committee, read Report No. 7-90 regarding
Special Signage or Recording of Notices for Unreinforced
Masonry Buildings, as follows:
After months of deliberation, the
Unreinforced Masonry Building ("URM")
Advisory Committee presented its reports to
the Council at the Council's meeting of
July 11, 1990. The Council followed that
Committee's recommendations and proceeded
to adopt ordinances applicable to URM
buildings on July 25th. One such ordinance
requires that each such building shall be
subject to seismic safety analysis, and the
results provided to the City within
24 months.
This Committee believes that further
Council action as to URM buildings, such as
requiring special signage or recording of
notices, should await the completion of the
seismic safety analyses to determine the
extent of actual hazard, if any, of each
such structure.
The Committee recommends that Council take
no such action at this time.
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, Legislative
and Litigation Committee Report No. 7-90 was accepted.
Councilmember Peterson, Chairperson of the Urban
Development Committee, read Report No. 6-90 regarding
Resolution to approve a Supplemental Cooperation Agreement with
the Housing Authority of the County of Kern for the Issuance of
Multi-Family Revenue Bonds, as follows:
On August 6, 1990, the Urban Development
Committee reviewed a request from the
Housing Authority of the County of Kern to
execute a Cooperative Agreement relating to
the issuance of a Multi-Family Bond.
The Committee recognizes the need to assist
in the development of housing opportunities
throughout the City. It is equally
important that any assistance granted by
the City of Bakersfield must be consistent
with the goals established in the 2010 Plan
and its various elements. Since the
Housing Element of the City's General Plan
is presently under study and is subject to
revision, it is difficult to establish at
this time how this bond issue affects the
implementation of the 2010 Plan.
Bakersfield, California, August 22, 1990 - Page 7
In updating the Housing Element, a
comprehensive approach to the provision of
assistance by public agencies for
multi-family projects should be examined,
including an evaluation of all forms of
public assistance, such as property tax
increments, Community Development Block
Grant Funds, and other such funds as may be
available.
It is therefore recommended that this
request not be considered until the Housing
Element has been completed.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, Urban
Development Committee Report No. 6-90 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, the
recommendations of Urban Development Committee Report No. 6-90
were implemented. Councilmember Salvaggio voted no.

the other bids rejected.
Approval of Agreement No. 90-209 with Brown
& Fowler Construction Company for a College
Avenue Retaining Wall from O'Donnell Way to

COUNCIL STATEMENTS
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, the matter of
water service in the northeast was referred to the Urban
Development Committee.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Edwards, the review of
the fee structure for the Convention Center and the Martin
Luther King Center was referred to the Convention Center

about the ambulance rates. The City has protected the citizens
by providing safety, both in fire and police, at the cheapest
possible rate and the City has been on guard about the rates
that have been charged by ambulance companies. There is a
discrepancy by the companies that charge in the County versus
the City. There is a public hearing August 23, 1990, at
7:00 p.m., at Beale Memorial Library, and he asked the City
Fire Chief to attend the meeting and state the City's interests
at the public hearing.

look at propositions on the ballot for November. They could
have some very serious impacts on the City. The first are the
two propositions, Big Green and the Careful Initiative that
could effect the use of water. Upon a motion by Councilmember
McDermott, these matters were referred to the Water Resources
Committee.
