REPORTS
Councilmember Ratty, Chairperson of the Budget and
Finance Committee, read Report No. 45-89 regarding Memorandum
of Understanding with the County of Kern regarding Fair Housing
Services as follows:
The Budget and Finance Committee first met
on this issue on Monday, October 16, 1989,
and again on Monday, October 30, 1989. The
discussion centered on the problems that
have been brought to the attention of the
City Council primarily in the form of the
1989-90 Annual Report. As a result of
lengthy discussions, this Committee wishes
to convey its serious concerns regarding
the past performance of the Fair Housing
Program. Based on the Annual Report and
interviews with members of the Fair Housing
Advisory Committee, we recommend that the
Fair Housing Program Administrator be more
attentive to the requirements contained
within the Memorandum of Understanding,
particularly those that deal with the
educational aspects of Fair Housing. The
Committee wishes also to direct County
Community Development Staff and City
Community Development Staff to work closely
with the County's Fair Housing Division in
improving its management and monitoring
functions and to become more responsive to
the identified needs of both County and
City residents.
Past practices have allowed the creation of
a highly charged environment, one that is
characterized by polarization and distrust.
It is the Committee's opinion that this can
only be rectified by offering a program
that is above reproach and that avoids
perceptions of advocacy or partisanship.
In the intent of improving the Fair Housing
Program for both City and County residents
this Committee wishes to make the following
recommendations:
The current Memorandum of
Understanding be amended to
reflect a six-month extension
(which would expire on May 1,
1990) as opposed to a full year's
extension.
That the current cooperation of
City and County staff be further
strengthened.
That the program be monitored by
both the City and County Staff to
ensure compliance with both the
spirit and intent of the existing
Memorandum of Understanding.
Bakersfield, California, November 1, 1989 - Page 9
e
That during this interval period
the matter be referred to the
Intergovernmental Affairs
Committee in order to jointly
explore alternative agencies or
organizations which could offer
improved Fair Housing Services.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 45-89 was accepted.
Councilmember Ratty made a motion to implement the
recommendations of Budget and Finance Committee Report
No. 45-89.
Councilmember Salvaggio made a recommendation that
the Council go forward with a one-year extension.
Councilmember Anthony made a substitution motion that
the current memorandum of understanding be reviewed in six
months and during this interval period the matter be referred
to an Intergovernmental Affairs Committee, and also include
representatives of the Fair Housing Advisory Board.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, Nancy
Burciaga, member of the Fair Housing Advisory Committee, spoke
regarding Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 45-89.
Councilmember Ratty made a call for the question.

Councilmember Ratty, Chairperson of the Budget and
Finance Committee, read Report No. 46-89 regarding ambulance
rates as follows:
On September 14, 1989, the Council referred
the issue of Ambulance Rates to the Budget
and Finance Committee for review.
Hall Ambulance has submitted a request for
a rate increase and has provided
documentation of the need for the increase
based on operating losses due to increased
expenses and increases in adjustments and
bad debts. Contrary to earlier discussions
with Committee, Golden Empire Ambulance has
indicated that they do not require a rate
increase at this time if Kern County does
not regulate ambulance rates.
Bakersfield, California, November 1, 1989 - Page 10
After reviewing this information with staff
the Committee feels that a cost of living
increase is warranted. We recommend the
following rates:
Basic Life Support
$145.00
Advanced Life Support (without
procedures)
$175.00
Advanced Life Support (with
procedures)
$325.00
Mileage (per mile from pickup
point to delivery point)
$ 7.50
Night Charge (7:00 p.m. to
7:00 a.m.) $ 35.00
Emergency Response (911 responses
and Code 3 use during response
or transport for private
emergency calls)
$ 30.00
Oxygen (per cylinder or portion
used thereof) $ 23.00
Waiting Time (per hour, chargeable
in 15-minute increments) $ 56.00
The Committee felt this increase is in line
with other charges throughout the state and
provides a cost of living adjustment to the
operators. The ambulance companies are
"not to exceed" these rates and the
ambulance companies, particularly if they
have indicated they do not need a rate
increase, may charge less than these
amounts.
It is the intent of the Committee that
these rates will be reviewed in December of
1990 and annually thereafter.
Therefore, the Committee recommends
approval of this report and the adoption of
a resolution of the City of Bakersfield
establishing ambulance service charges.
Councilmember Ratty announced input was received from
only one ambulance company.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 46-89 was accepted.
Adoption of Resolution No. 183-89 of the
Council of the City of Bakersfield
establishing ambulance service charges.
Correspondence has been received from Fred Drew, Kern
County Department of Emergency Medical Services, dated
October 30, 1989, urging Council to approve the rate increase.

Councilmember DeMond stated there is talk and comment
that the County will possibly be taking action sometime in the
future about rates and that their action may be overtaking what
the Council has done. She stated she would like staff to be in
a position to refer or respond to their comments and their
Counsel's comments that they have precedence over us and make
sure that when that comes down, that the Council be in a
position to answer that in a positive manner on behalf of the
City.
Councilmember Ratty, Chairperson of the Budget and
Finance Committee, read Report No. 47-89 regarding towing
services rates as follows:
On June 14, 1989, the Council referred the
issue of towing service rates to the Budget
and Finance Committee for review.
The towing service operators have submitted
a request for a revision of the rate
schedule applicable to towing services in
response to Police Dispatch. The Committee
has met with representatives of the towing
service operators who explained that a rate
increase was necessary due to increased
operating and capital costs.
The Committee has reviewed this information
with staff, including members of the
Bakersfield Police Department, and reviewed
information on towing rates in other
cities. The Committee feels that an
increase is warranted and has met with and
discussed the recommended rate changes with
towing service representatives who
concurred with our recommendations.
Therefore, the Committee recommends
approval of this report and the adoption of
a resolution of the City of Bakersfield
amending the rate schedule applicable to
towing service in response to police
dispatch.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 47-89 was accepted.
Adoption of Resolution No. 184-89 of the
Council of the City of Bakersfield amending
