for Fiscal Year 1990-91.
Community
Appl icat ion
Councilmember Edwards made a motion that the
recommendations from the Budget and Finance Committee be
postponed for an indefinite period to allow participation by
community members.
Councilmember Edwards stated he feels that the Ward 1
Councilmember did not receive the opportunity to discuss the
use of the CDBG Funds until after the fact. When the Ward 1
Councilmember was apprised of the fact that there was $525,000
it had already been determined how it would be used.
Councilmember McDermott made a substitute motion to
approve the amendment, authorize the transfer of CDBG Funds to
the appropriate line item accounts within the Community
Development Program Budget, and direct the Department to submit
the amendment to the Federal Housing and Urban Development
Department.
Councilmember McDermott read into the record the
following memorandum:
On Monday, September 17, 1990, staff met
with the Budget and Finance Committee to
discuss the proposed CDBG amendments.
After a brief discussion, the Committee
invited a number of community residents to
express their concerns relative to this
matter. After considerable amount of
dialogue, the Committee discussed certain
modifications to the proposed amendments
and also addressed a list of projects that
the community residents presented for
consideration.
The modifications are as follows:
In regards to the Housing Development
Program, references to the Central
City area will be stricken. This
should enable projects outside the
Central City area to be considered for
funding;
174
Bakersfield, California, September 19, 1990 - Page 9
Staff is to initiate a second
amendment which would reprogram funds
previously identified for loans for
for-profit businesses. The
reprogramming of funds would make
available approximately $84,000 for
the physical expansion of a child care
facility located at 4th and "M"
Streets. This is one of the projects
that was identified for consideration
by the community residents. In
regards to the balance of projects
submitted for consideration, the
Committee encouraged staff and
community residents to commence
assembling the information necessary
to be considered for CDBG funding for
the Fiscal Year 1991-92.
In closing, the Committee extended its
appreciation to the community residents for
their input, and observation was made by
the Committee that the dialogue had been
helpful and demonstrated the need for
citizen participation in shaping the
funding determination for the Community
Development Block Grant.
The Committee expresses desire that the
community residents participate in the
meeting and continue to provide their input
in addition to encouraging others from
throughout the community to become more
involved.
Councilmember DeMond made a substitute motion that
the matter be continued for twenty-eight days and that would be
a finalized date that the Council hear nothing rhetorical, and
that any input be new input with substantiated projects,
nonoperating projects. The substitute motion was approved.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Brunni, Council
recessed at 9:32 p.m. and reconvened at 9:42 p.m.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Brunni, New Business

REPORTS
Councilmember McDermott, Chairperson of the Budget
and Finance Committee, read Report No. 14-90 regarding
Additional Personnel for the Planning and the Building
Department and Public Works Department, as follows:
The City Council requested that the Budget
and Finance Committee review the need for
additional personnel in the Planning and
Building Department to implement the City's
recently adopted 2010 General Plan.
The Planning Director has requested a
Principal Planner position that would allow
the Department to concentrate on major
long-range planning projects such as the
implementation of the 2010 General Plan.
The position would be involved in the
implementation of ordinance amendments to
reflect the policies in the Plan;
completion of reserved chapter elements of
the General Plan; completion of certain
pending ordinances and provide support on
other major projects such as reservations
of freeway right-of-way, a level of service
ordinance and a comprehensive revision of
the zoning ordinance.
Because these projects could have a
significant long-term impact on development
in the City and due to the high level of
sensitivity required to carry out these
projects, the Committee recommends the
approval of the additional Principal
Planner position.
The Public Works Director has requested an
Engineer III to work on the Freeway system.
While this position is also a high
priority, the Committee feels that it
should be deferred until information from
the mid-year financial report becomes
available. The Committee recommends that
the City Manager return to the Council for
authorization to add the position if, based
upon the mid-year financial report,
sufficient monies are available in the
General Fund to fund the position.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that
Council authorize the transfer of $43,000
from Council Contingency to the Planning
and Building Department Operating Budget in
the General Fund.
We request that the Council accept this
report and implement its recommendations.
178
Bakersfield, California, September 19, 1990 - Page 13
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 14-90 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, the
recommendations of Budget and Finance Committee Report
No. 14-90 were implemented.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, $43,000 was

by the following roll call vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Edwards,
Peterson,
Noes: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
DeMond, Smith, Brunni,
McDermott, Salvaggio
Councilmember Brunni stated for the record that she
wholeheartedly supports this and is glad to see it going
forward.
Councilmember Salvaggio clarified his vote for the
record by stating the he feels this report is one of the first
fruits of the recent planning team-building session in
Tehachapi, and he appreciates staff and the Budget and Finance
Committee members for bringing this to the full Council for
action.
Councilmember McDermott read Urban Development
Committee Report No. 7-90 regarding General Policy for Economic
Development, as follows:
On Friday, September 7, 1990, the Urban
Development Committee reviewed the attached
"General Policy for Economic Development."
In discussing this item it was the
consensus of the Committee that a broad
policy for Economic Development needs to be
adopted by the City Council. The actual
specifics relating to policy implementation
are an administrative matter.
The Committee therefore recommends that the
City Council approve the General Policy for
Economic Development and that the City
Manager be directed to prepare an
Administrative Implementation Policy which,
upon completion, shall be reviewed by the
City Council.
The following attachment to the Report was not read
into the record:
GENERAL POLICY FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The City of Bakersfield supports
stimulating a healthy local economy through
an economic development policy that targets
the growth, diversification, and
revitalization of the Bakersfield 201 0
General Planning Area. This policy
includes commitments to the continuing
diversification of our economic base, the
expansion of existing businesses, and the
nurturing of new businesses.
!79
Bakersfield, California, September 19, 1990 - Page 14
When considering the provision of financial
or other inducements, our efforts should
focus on those new or existing businesses
and industries which are consistent with
our efforts to create a healthy local
economy while having the least negative
impact on environmental and other quality
of life issues.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Urban
Development Committee Report No. 7-90 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, the
recommendations of Urban Development Committee Report No. 7-90
were implemented.
Councilmember Smith read Urban Development Committee
Report No. 8-90 regarding Issuance of Assessment District Bonds
for Water Mains in the Paladino Service Area, as follows:
Approximately a year and a half ago
homeowners in the Paladino Drive area,
which is located one mile east of Morning
Drive extension and north of Route 178,
began experiencing water quality and
quantity problems and contacted the City
for possible assistance. A series of
meetings was then conducted by the City
between the residents and water purveyors
that might be able to provide emergency
service to the area.
Following lengthy discussions with Olcese
Water District, California Water Service
Company, and Improvement District #4 of the
Kern County Water Agency, California Water
Service came forward with a plan of works
that would immediately provide water to the
homes in the area. After several follow-up
meetings with the residents, the California
Water proposal was chosen by the homeowners
as the most cost-effective way to provide
domestic and fire protection water to the
area. Area residents representing
seventy-eight percent of the acreage have
petitioned the City to form an assessment
district to finance the water main project.
Cost of the project, including assessment
engineering, bond counsel, construction,
inspection and overhead is estimated to be
just under one million dollars. According
to City Council policy adopted March 19,
1986, assessment districts financed by
issuance of public bonds should not be less
than one million dollars. Due to the
emergency needs for water to this area for
household uses, the Committee recommends
that the Council receive this report and
allow the one million dollar minimum bond
policy be waived for this specific project.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, Urban
Development Committee Report No. 8-90 was accepted.

Bakersfield, California, September 19, 1990 - Page 15
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith , the
recommendations of Urban Development Committee Report No. 8-90
were implemented by the following roll call vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Edwards, DeMond, Smith, Brunni,
Peterson, McDermott, Salvaggio
Noes: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
Councilmember McDermott read Urban Development
Committee Report No. 9-90 regarding an Ordinance to Permit
Above-Ground Fuel Storage Tanks, as follows:
Above-ground fueled storage tanks are being
manufactured in response to problems caused
by traditional subterranean fuel storage
tanks. Below-ground tanks whose leaks
might go undetected for long periods of
time result in extensive contamination and
expensive remediation for their owners.
Although construction techniques,
installation practices and regulations have
mitigated this problem to some extent, they
have also resulted in designs for safe
above-ground storage of flammable or
combustible liquids. Their use is already
permitted in some areas of the City. They
are prohibited in Fire Zones 1 , 2 and
closely built-up areas of Fire zone 3.
Fire Zone 1 is downtown and East
Bakersfield. Fire Zone 2 is around densely
built-up areas and Fire Zone 3 is generally
the fringe area of the City.
The proposed ordinance would allow up to
2,000 gallons of fuel to be kept above
ground in tanks enclosed in containment
vaults. The vaults have six-inch thick
walls with sufficient capacity to hold all
the fluids in the tank if it should leak.
Both the tanks and vaults must be tested
and approved. They have vapor recovery
systems and safety devices. They would be
surrounded by crash posts and they are
secured to foundations so they would not be
dislodged in the event of an earthquake.
The Fire Department has reviewed the draft
ordinance with the Urban Development
Committee and recommended its adoption.
Adoption of this ordinance would protect
the environment and public safety while
allowing small businesses to maintain
on-site fueling facilities.
It is recommended that the attached
Ordinance be adopted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Urban
Development Committee Report No. 9-90 was accepted.
First Reading of an Ordinance of the
Council of the City of Bakersfield a~ending

Bakersfield, California, September 19, 1990 - Page 16
Councilmember Smith read Urban Development Committee
Report No. 10-90 regarding Ordinance Regulating Outdoor
Advertising Signs, as follows:
The issue of regulating outdoor advertising
signs was referred to the Urban Development
Committee January 10, 1990. This was in
response to billboard company
representatives requesting the City Council
to consider alternatives to an ordinance
recommended by the Planning Commission to
prohibit all off-premise signs including
outdoor advertising signs.
The representatives of the outdoor
advertising companies suggested that:
1. Billboard be separated by
500 feet.
2. Billboards be prohibited over
existing buildings.
The City choose certain roads
where special control over
placement of billboards could be
exercised.
The Urban Development Committee considered
their proposal and many other options
ranging from prohibition to only increased
spacing. We considered various permitting
techniques which might be used to thin out
existing concentrations of billboards but
found them to be administratively complex
or possibly unfair to companies depending
on their inventory of signage and
discriminatory against companies wishing to
enter the market. It was concluded that a
straight forward set of regulations should
be placed in the ordinance which would
apply equally to all. These regulations
would avoid the continued concentration of
billboards, limit their exposure to
residential areas, prohibit them from
aesthetically sensitive areas and confirm
the City Council's original intent to
prohibit them over buildings or near
property lines and other signs.
With that in mind, the attached ordinance
was drafted which would:
Increase the distance between
outdoor advertising signs from
300 feet on the same side of a
street to 1,000 feet in all
directions.
]82
Bakersfield, California, September 19, ~990 Page 17
Add a prohibition of outdoor
advertising signs within
1,000 feet of residential zones.
In addition to Truxtun Avenue,
prohibit outdoor advertising
signs within 1,000 feet of:
a) Highway 178 east of Oswell
Street, b) Alfred Harrell
Highway, c) Stockdale Highway
west of New Stine Road, and
d) Panorama Drive.
Prohibit outdoor advertising
signs over or on buildings.
Clarify the applicability of the
25-foot setback from lot lines
and 50-foot separation from other
signs by restoring them in the
subsection specific to outdoor
advertising signs.
It is recommended that the City Council
adopt the attached ordinance.
Mr. Gene Tackett, representing 3-M National and
Outdoor Advertising, addressed the Council regarding the
Ordinance Regulating Outdoor Advertising Signs, and stated for
the record that the proposals within 1,000 feet from
residential areas as opposed to 1,000 feet along some of the
scenic highways would mean that there is no room for growth for
future billboards.

Development Committee Report No. 10-90 was accepted.

COUNCIL STATEMENTS
Councilmember McDermott stated they had an
Intergovernmental Relations Committee meeting with the County
regarding the issue of booking fees. They communicated to the
County representatives the sentiments picked up from Council at
the last meeting, but one of the issues that came up was that
essentially the County is still in the process of determining
what fee, if any, should be charged. The Council wants to ask
the County to rescind their action, determine that they will
not charge the fees retroactively, and then work to discuss a
possible solution with the City.
Councilmember McDermott made a motion to consider
this item as an item that arose after the Agenda was published
and requires action tonight, by the following roll call vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Edwards, DeMond, Smith, Brunni,
Peterson, McDermott, Salvaggio
Noes: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
Councilmember McDermott made a motion to direct the
Police Chief to go to the next Board of Supervisors' meeting
and ask them to place on the Agenda an emergency item to
rescind the previous action and to adopt the position that they
will not charge the fees retroactively, and also to make a
formal proposal of some of the suggestions the City has made.
Councilmember Salvaggio requested Councilmember
McDermott amend his motion to direct City Manager Hawley to
attend the Board of Supervisors meeting along with the Chief of
Police.
Councilmember DeMond stated the Council needs to get
their message across as soon as possible.
191
Bakersfield, California, September 19, 1990 - Page 26
Councilmember Peterson asked Chief of Police
Patterson to take some time and educate the woman who spoke
earlier who needs some direction regarding her public comments
so that she fully understands that this is a very sensitive
Council to the rights and the needs of the people, and because
of Police Chief Patterson and the officers, the crime rate has
been going down in this area where it has been going up
everywhere else in the State. The Council is very sensitive to
the rights of the people and the protection of the people, but
there are some things she needs to understand with regard to
this particular rape individual and some of the things that the
City is doing to counteract this very unfair double taxation.
The motion by Councilmember McDermott to direct
Police Chief Patterson to go to the next Board of Supervisors'
meeting and ask them to place on the Agenda an emergency item
to rescind the previous action and to adopt the position that
they will not charge the fees retroactively, and also to make a
formal proposal of some of the suggestions the City has made,
was approved.
Councilmember Brunni stated that on August 22, 1990,
she requested an accounting of the Transportation Development
Act Fund balances, and she is frustrated that she has not
received it.
Councilmember Brunni requested a line-by-line,
item-by-item clarification of the carryover of the Community
Development Block Grant Funds for all the Councilmembers,
including the dates, amounts and projects to which these monies
are committed.
Councilmember Brunni requested an item be placed on
the Agenda for the next Council meeting to change the date of
the meeting from October 17, 1990, to October 24, 1990. After
further discussion, Councilmember Brunni withdrew her request.
Councilmember Smith stated she read articles in the
newspaper regarding gate fees. The Kern County Board of
Supervisors received and filed a report from the County Public
Works Department relating to the establishment of gate fees and
she would like to remind the Board that in a recent election,
citizens of the County, including the City of Bakersfield,
rejected the establishment of gate fees by a margin of two to
one. Although the report indicates that the proposed gate fees
could not be implemented until 1992, she encouraged the County
to pay serious attention to the wishes of the citizens who have
already overwhelmingly voted to reject gate fees before trying
to implement them again.
Councilmember Smith stated there is an ambiguity in
the Sign Ordinance in that there is nothing specific in regard
to ownership in families of buildings that might be passed down
in inheritance form. Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith,
this matter was referred to the Urban Development Committee.
192
Bakersfield, California, September 19, 1990 - Page 27
Councilmember Salvaggio stated that two Council
meetings ago he requested of staff, and Council concurred, that
the Council respond in writing to Norman H. Riley regarding his
June 28, 1990, letter to the City requesting that
representatives be recognized for the City of Bakersfield
retired employees. He asked staff to look into this and he
would like a copy of whatever staff has done on this.
Councilmember Salvaggio stated that as a
representative of the Kern Council of Governments, he was
appointed by the Chair to serve with Supervisor Ashburn,
Shafter Councilmember Johnny Thomas and Ridgecrest
Councilmember Kevin Forlett, on a Joint Powers Agreement
Committee, and he brought Council up to date regarding the
Congestion Management Program.
Councilmember McDermott responded to comments by
Councilmember Salvaggio regarding the Joint Powers Agreement
Committee and the comments made at the Intergovernmental
Relations Committee meeting in support of the "30 percent of
the vote" concept as a possible appropriate compromise for the
Kern Council of Governments reorganization.
Councilmember Brunni stated her support for
appropriate representation on the Kern Council of Governments.
