REPORTS
Councilmember Peterson read Litigation Committee
Report No. 1-89 regarding claims against the City as follows:
The City Manager asked the Litigation Commit-
tee to consider removing claims filed against
the City from the Council's agenda. Claims
now appear on the Agenda's Consent Calendar.
Meeting with the Committee, the City Manager
expressed his concern that putting claims on
each meeting's agenda 1) creates a misleading
impression of City liability, regardless of
the amounts or merits of the claims, and 2)
lengthens the agenda unnecessarily.
Bakersfield, California, January 4, 1989 Page 4
The Committee agrees with the City Manager
but believes that Councilmembers should be
regularly advised of claims filed. The
Committee and City Manager agree that monthly
reports of claims filed distributed directly
to the Councilmembers and to members of the
public and media requesting the same, is an
appropriate alternative to putting claims on
each agenda.
The Attorney's Office has advised the Commit-
tee that adoption of the attached resolution
is necessary to implement the recommendations
of this report.
The Litigation Committee recommends that the
Council:
Adopt the attached resolution, authori-
zing the City's Claims Administrator to
refer claims to the City Attorney; and
o
Direct the City Manager to distribute to
Councilmembers, and to members of the
public and media requesting the same, a
monthly report of claims filed against
the City.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, Litiga-
tion Committee Report No. 1-89 was accepted and approved.
Councilmember Salvaggio spoke in opposition to the
Litigation Committee's recommendation.
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 4-89 OF THE

Councilmember Childs read Auditorium and Community
Services Committee Report No. 1-89 regarding Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. Community Center Citizen's Advisory Commit-
tee as follows:
At the August 10, 1988 Council meeting, the
issue of the Citizen's Advisory Committee for
the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center
not holding regular meetings was referred to
the Auditorium and Community Services Commit-
tee. On September i[2, 1988, the Committee
met with Staff to discuss this issue.
After receiving an update regarding the
Advisory Committee from Recreation Division
staff, the Council Committee entertained the
possibility of disbanding the Advisory
Committee as it exists and creating a new
committee which would act in an advisory
capacity, not only on matters pertaining to
the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center
but on all. city-wide parks and recreation
activities.
Bakersfield, California, January 4, 1989 - Page 5
Members were contacted by certified letters
for their input. Of eight letters mailed
out, six were receipted with only three
persons responding. These three stated they
were in support of the proposed new committee
and would be willing to serve if called upon.
Based on the above information, it is the
recommendation of this committee that the
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center
Citizen's Advisory Committee be disbanded and
a new committee be formed to act in an
advisory capacity on matters pertaining to
all City of Bake~ field Parks and Recreation
activities.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Auditorium
and Community Services Committee Report No. 1-89 was accepted
and approved.

Councilmember Peterson read Auditorium and Commu-
nity Services Committee Report No. 2-89 regarding a City
slogan as follows:
At the August 31, 1988 City Council meeting,
the issue of selecting a City slogan was
referred to the Auditorium and Community
Services Committee. On October 3, 1988, the
Committee met and directed Staff to form a
committee, gather information and return with
four or five slogan possibilities.
After several meetings, the Slogan Committee
compiled a list of five recommendations that
were submitted to the Council Committee on
December 8, 1988. During this meeting and
following much discussion, the Council
Committee reduced the number of selections to
three and are listed as follows:
Bakersfield - Spirit of the Central
Valley
Bakersfield - Heart of the Californians
Bakersfield - City of Golden Opportunities
These suggestions are not listed in order of
preference; however, the Committee does feel
they each project Bakersfield as an energe-
tic, progressive and growing city.
With the above information in mind, it is the
recommendation of this Committee that the
suggested slogans be referred back to City
Council for further discussion and action.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson,
torium and Community Services Committee Report No.
accepted.

the Civic Auditorium as
Peterson read Auditorium and Commu-
Report No. 3-89 regarding renaming
follows:
At the November 30, 1988 City Council meet-
ing, the issue of renaming the Civic Audi-
torium was referred to the Auditorium and
Community Services Committee. On December 8,
1988, the Committee met with staff to discuss
this issue.
After much discussion, it was decided that
the current name of Civic Auditorium is
outdated and did not accurately reflect the
facility's function within the community. It
was suggested to change the name to "Bakers-
field Convention Center" which appropriately
describes this building. In addition, most
facilities of this nature are currently
listed as convention centers. The name
change will further upgrade our image by
listing us with other centers throughout the
industry.
With the above information in mind, it is the
recommendation of this committee to change
the Civic Auditorium name to "Bakersfield
Convention Center" effective with the comple-
tion of the newly refurbished facility, and
instruct the City Attorney to make necessary
changes in the ordinance and bring back to
City Council for adoption.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, Audi-
torium and Community Services Committee Report No. 3-89 was
accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, the
recommendations of Auditorium and Community Services Com-
mittee Report No. 3-89 were implemented.
Councilmember Smith read Auditorium and Community
Services Committee Report No. 4-89 regarding the Fox Theatre
as follows:
Bakersfield, California, January 4, 1989 - Page 7
The City Council referred the issue of the
Fox Theatre to the Auditorium and Community
Services Committee for evaluation.
The Committee has reviewed this issue with
Staff and concerned organizations and agreed
to recommend that $15,000 be allocated from
the Council Contingency Fund to secure an
appraisal of the property and develop a
comprehensive rehabilitation plan.
It is felt by this Committee that the down-
town Fox Theatre could be an effective tool
in generating interest and revenue in the
downtown area. If the value of the property
and cost of refurbishing are within reason-
able limits, it will be the recommendation of
this Committee to proceed with purchase and
rehabilitation efforts.
The Fox Theatre can be a catalyst in the
future development of a downtown cultural
center, and, because of its historical
significance, an asset to the City of Bakers-
field.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, Auditorium
and Community Services Committee Report No. 4-89 was
accepted.
Mr. Bernard Bogatte, 1101 Oleander #23, spoke at
this time regarding the Fox Theatre.
