REPORTS
Councilmember Ratty, Chairperson
Finance Committee, read Report No. 48-89
Television Service Connections as follows:
of the Budget and
regarding Cable
The Council referred the issue of cable
television service connections to the
Budget and Finance Committee for review.
The Committee has reviewed with
representatives of both cable companies and
the Building Industry Association the
placement of these service connections on
property zoned for single family
residential use. The Committee was most
concerned about the appearance and
placement of above-ground pedestals in
residential neighborhoods. After
discussion with these groups and staff, it
was determined that pursuant to the
franchise agreements with both cable
companies, rules and regulations should be
adopted that provide that newly installed
pedestals be located either:
ae
Within four feet of a side lot
line, within the public
right-of-way or utility easement
which parallels the front lot line,
and the four-square foot area
immediately adjacent to such
pedestal shall, at the request of
the homeowner, be screened by
shrubbery installed by the cable
television provider at such time
and in such manner as is approved
by the Planning Director, such
approval not to be unreasonably
withheld. The cable television
provider shall not be responsible
for maintenance or replacement of
such shrubbery; or
Whenever such easements exist or
can be or will be obtained, service
connections pedestals may be
located within a side-yard public
utility easement within three feet
(either forward of or behind) the
front yard setback specified in the
zoning ordinance.
Both cable companies have agreed to and
accepted the proposed cable television
rule.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that
the City Council adopt Cable Television
Rules and Regulations No. 89-1, regarding
Cable Television Service Connection
Pedestals.

Adoption of Cable Television Rules and
Regulations No. 89-1 regarding Cable
Television Service Connection Pedestals.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Cable
Television Rules and Regulations No. 89-1 were adopted.
Councilmember Anthony read Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 49-89 regarding Extension of the Marketing
Contract for the Program Incentive Area as follows:
On November 1, 1989, the Council referred
the issue of the extension of the marketing
contract for the program incentive area to
the Budget and Finance Committee for
review.
The agreement in which the County of Kern,
in conjunction with the City, contracted
with Mid State Development to market the
Metro Bakersfield Incentive Area
(Enterprise Zone) is due to expire on
November 30, 1989.
Responses to the Request for Proposals for
a new contract were received on
November 3rd. The Citizens Advisory
Committee for the Incentive Area, along
with City and County staff, have requested
additional time to review, analyze and
negotiate with the contractors on the
proposals received. A new contractor will
not be available to continue the marketing
program by November 30, 1989.
Since it is extremely important that the
marketing program efforts be continuous and
not be suspended even for a short time,
staff has recommended that an extension of
the existing contract with Mid State
Development be granted through January 31,
1990, at which time the new contract should
be finalized and approved. Unexpended
funds are available in the Incentive Area
project budget to provide for the extension
without having to utilize additional funds.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that
the Council authorize the Mayor to execute
the Amendment to Agreement No. 89-33
Community Development Project (Community
Development Activity #36.87.2 Employment
and Economic Incentive Act Marketing
Program).
Upon a motion by Councilmember Anthony, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 49-89 was accepted.

Approval of Agreement No. 89-259, Amendment
No. 1 to Agreement No. 89-33 with the
County of Kern and Mid State Development
Corporation for Community Development
Project (Community Development Activity
No. 36.87.2 Employment and Economic
Incentive Act Marketing Program).
Upon a motion by Councilmember Anthony, Agreement
No. 89-259 was approved, and the Mayor was authorized to
execute the Agreement.
Councilmember McDermott, Chairperson of the Urban
Development Committee, read Report No. 18-89 regarding Changing
Street Names as follows:
The City has received requests to change
the names of existing streets to honor
distinguished local personalities and
former residents. These have been referred
to the Urban Development Committee and to
the Planning Commission. The Planning
Commission has developed policies for
adoption by the Council . Planning
Commission Resolution No. 30-89 is attached
for Council review.
In summary, the Commission's recommended
policies are:
The Planning Commission will
continue to be the approval agency
for street name changes, subject to
appeal to the City Council.
The Planning Commission will
conduct advertised public hearings
to consider street name changes.
A single application is all that is
needed to initiate consideration of
a street name change to honor an
individual or entity for which
federal or state holidays are
observed (Class I).
A petition of 66 percent of
business owners along commercial
streets or 66 percent of property
owners along residential streets
would be required to initiate a
hearing to consider a street name
change for a deceased individual or
defunct entity (Class II).
A petition of 100 percent of the
business owners along commercial
streets or 100 percent of property
owners along residential streets
would be required to initiate
hearings to consider street name
changes to honor living individuals
or existing entities (Class III).
Bakersfield, California, November 15, 1989 Page 11
Approval or denial of the
application will be based on staff
analysis and public testimony.
Costs for changing street names to
honor living individuals or
existing entities will be borne by
the applicant. Otherwise, it will
be a city expense.
8. Replacement of street signs will be
paid for by the city.
9. An appropriate fee will be set to
process the applications.
The Urban Development Committee has
reviewed the recommended policies and
agrees with them except for the 66 percent
and 100 percent requirements for petitions.
It was felt that a requirement of 100
percent business owners or property owners
would be unreasonable just to bring the
request up for consideration. Out-of-town
property owners are often difficult to find
and it was felt unfair that one or two
obstreperous people would block
consideration of an otherwise very popular
proposal.
The Urban Development Committee recommends
that the City Council adopt the policies
recommended by the Planning Commission with
an adjustment in the petition requirements
from 100 percent to 75 percent for
Class III changes and from 66 percent to
50 percent for Class II changes.
It is recommended that the City Council
accept this report and direct the City
Attorney to prepare a resolution adopting
the policies with the adjustments proposed
in this report.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Urban
Dew~lopment Committee Report No. 18-89 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, the
recommendations of Urban Development Committee Report No. 18-89
were implemented.
Mayor Medders introduced Scout Troop 53 from the
Southwest Area.
Mayor Medders recessed the meeting at 8:00 p.m. and
reconvened at 8:05 p.m.
Bakersfield, California, November 15, 1989 - Page
Councilmember McDermott read Urban Development
Committee Report No. 19-89 regarding Metropolitan Bakersfield
2010 General Plan Adoption Process as follows:
The Bakersfield Planning Commission and
Kern County Planning Advisory Committee
concluded their public hearings of the
Bakersfield Metropolitan 2070 General Plan
and Environmental Impact Report on
October 24, 1989. By unanimous vote they
recommended adoption of them by the City
Council and Board of Supervisors. The
Urban Development Committee was asked by
the City Council to monitor this plan's
progress since release of its first draft a
year ago . It has been improved
considerably and we look forward to the
full City Council review of the plan
beginning with a workshop on November 15,
1989, and commencement of public hearings
on December 14, 1989.
As you know, a special meeting of the City
Council was scheduled for Thursday,
December 14, 1989, just to conduct a
hearing of the recommended plan. Staff has
recommended that we take testimony for at
least four hours but avoid letting the
hearing last to the very late night hours.
If necessary, the hearing could be
continued to the following week. The
Council's hearings should be shorter than
the Commission's since any new significant
requests must be referred to the Planning
Commission for report and recommendation.
New requests should be processed through
the standard general plan amendment
process.
Even at that there are likely to be issues
raised about some plan policies or land use
designations for the Council ' s
consideration. The Council should accept
all the testimony both written and verbal
and rather than debate each point as it is
raised, at the end of each session refer
those matters to the Urban Development
Committee for report and recommendation to
be considered in early January 1990. At
its January hearing, the City Council would
give approval to the plan as it may be
revised and recommend adoption by the Board
of Supervisors. The Board would then
conduct its hearings in late January and
early February. If the Board is in
agreement with the Council ' s
recommendation, the Board would adopt the
plan and it would be returned for Council
adoption. If there are any substantial
differences in the plan approved by the
Council and Board, these would be referred
back to the City Council for consideration.
It is recommended that the City Council
accept this report and the hearing and
adoption process outlined herein.

Committee, read Report No. 8-89 regarding Ordinance Prescribing

should such position become vacant mid-term
and prohibits any Vice-Mayor from
succeeding himself/herself.

informally used to create and make
appointments to committees. The ordinance
calls for committee appointments to be made

by the Council.

Beginning on October 4, 1989, City staff

the City's Health and Dental coverage.
There are still several issues to be
resolved, but the Committee would like to
have the Council's approval to implement
the following agreed upon changes:
Request formal bid proposals to be
submitted as soon as possible for
the Pre-Paid Dental Plan.
Change Health Net (HMO) Plan from
Plan A to Plan G, which would
reduce the City's total premium
increase from 18% to 6%. This
would add a $5 co-pay for doctor's
visits and change prescription drug
co-pay from $2 generic and $4 brand
name to $5 generic and $7 brand
name. The change will be effective
on December 1, 1989.
