REPORTS
Councilmember Smith read Intergovernmental Rela-
tions Committee Report No. 1-89 regarding Sewer Service and
Development in the Northwest as follows:
The City and County representatives to the
Intergovernmental Relations Committee have
been discussing the issue of sewer service
and development in the northwest metropolitan
area outside of Bakersfield for many years.
The Committee has been aware that the method
and timing for sewer service in this area
would have a substantial impact on the
density of development. The Committee also
recognized that a sewer service area agree-
ment among the City, County, and North of the
River Sanitary District (NORSD) would avoid
duplication of service and result in a
cheaper cost to the taxpayer.
We are pleased to present to the City Council
a conceptual agreement with the County and
NORSD that will accomplish the task that was
sent to this Committee. This conceptual
agreement includes:
Proceeding with a joint sewer project
that will involve the City providing
service to a portion of CSA 71 beyond
the City boundaries, NORSD constructing
an outfall line for treating effluent on
an alignment northerly of Hageman Road,
and the County building a treatment
plant southwest of Shafter (Attachment A) .

County neutrality on pending City
annexations.
o
Mutual City and County support for a
revision to the City's sphere of influ-
ence consistent with the sewer service
area.
Development of the area within the
City's sphere of influence to urban
standards.
The retention of the area located west
of Renfro Road at a rural level of
development, as will be set forth in the
2010 General Plan.
County commitment of $1.5 million of the
$4 million Special District Augmentation
Funds to be used in reducing the cost of
sewering for County residents within the
City's sewer service area, using the
rest of the funds for the remaining CSA
71 area.
The County approved the conceptual agreement
at their January 10, 1989 Board meeting.
With the approval of the Council, City staff
will proceed with implementation of our
portion of the agreement.
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee
requests Council acceptance of this report.
The Committee further reconunends Council
approval of the agreement with the County of
Kern and NORSD for the sewer service and
development plan and direct staff to prepare
the appropriate documents.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, Intergovern-
mental Relations Committee Report No. 1-89 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, the recom-

Councilmember Salvaggio read Water Resources
Committee Report No. 1-89 regarding renewal of water service
contracts on the Friant-Kern Unit of the Central Valley
Project as follows:
At the January 4, 1989 City Council meeting,
Mr. Cliff Trotter of the Arvin-Edison Water
Storage District requested the City's support
in efforts to renew the water service con-
tracts for the Friant-Kern canal users of the
Central Valley Project.
As a matter of background, water received by
Kern County Water Districts from the Friant-
Kern canal has been used to support our local
economy and reduce groundwater overdraft
since the early 1950's. Kern County water
districts, including Arvin-Edison Water
Storage District, Delano-Earlimart Irrigation
District, Southern San Joaquin Municipal
Utility District, and Shafter-Wasco Irriga-
tion District are now looking forward to
Bakersfield, California, January 18, 1989 - Page 4
renewal and continuance of the water supplies
originally contracted for on the Central
Valley Project. These districts form part of
an integrated network for water users that
depend on water supplied by the Central
Valley Project.
Contracts between the United States and the
above-mentioned wate~ districts have resulted
in the importation of more than 400,000
acre-feet of Central Valley Project water
into Kern County each year. A $600 million
dollar agricultural economy has been deve-
loped in Kern County with this supply over
the last 40 years. This supply represents
almost 25 percent of the County's annual
surface water supply and any reductions would
result in additional groundwater pumping and
overdrafting of the groundwater basin.
For these reasons, and in order to protect
the well-being and long-range economy of our
community, the Water Resources Committee
recommends the Council receive this report
and adopt the attached resolution supporting
renewal of these water supply contracts with
the United States of America.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, Water
Resources Committee Report No. 1-89 was accepted.

FROM:
Arthur J. Saalfield
City Attorney
SUBJECT: CONTRACT FOR CITY ATTORNEY SERVICES
At the time the Personnel Committee of the
Council was making its final recommendation
to the Council on the proposed Charter
amendments, I informed the Committee that I
would be willing to forego civil service
protection for a contract after the amendment
became effective.
Attached is a draft of such a contract. It
is very similar to your contract with the
City with the following significant devia-
tions:
(a)
The notice/severance pay term in
Section 2.B. is six, rather than
three, months; and
(b)
The "criteria" provisions re:
"Performance Evaluation" in your
contract have been deleted in
Section 10 of the attached draft.
I requested that you sound out two or three
members of the Council and see if they wish
to pursue this matter. (I really do not
care, one way or the other.)
If the decision is to seriously consider the
contract alternative, please obtain Alan
Daniel's input re: the draft and possible
revisions to the draft. I will not discuss
this matter with him, except in your pre-
sence, or otherwise communicate with him
regarding the contract. He is, by receipt of
a copy of this memorandum, directed to use
his best professional judgement and to review
the attached draft with an eye toward fully
protecting the interests of the City. He,
not I, will sign any eventual contract on
behalf of this office.

Councilmember Childs stated he felt it should be
referred to the Personnel Committee first and then possibly
the Budget and Einance Committee with a report back to
Council. If the topic of severance pay is an issue, Person-
nel Committee should make a recommendation to the Budget and
Finance Committee.
Councilmember Childs made a substitute motion to
refer the matter to the Personnel Committee.
Councilmember DeMond called for the question.
Bakersfield, California, January 18, 1989 - Page 17

correspondence regarding contract for City Attorney services

from former Assistant City Manager Ken Pulskamp and a copy
of AB815 to Staff and asked them to research and report back
to Council regarding local implementation and what the law
entails.
City Manager Hawley stated that a draft ordinance
has been prepared, the item has been referred to the Urban
Development Committee, and the materials should be forwarded
to that Committee.
Councilmember Salvaggio asked City Manager Hawley
to clarify the specifications of key positions and salary
adjustments that had been forwarded to the Personnel Commit-
tee at the last Council meeting.
City Manager Hawley stated the matter had been
referred to the Personnel Committee.
Councilmember Salvaggio stated his concern that
the matter %~as scheduled for a Personnel Committee meeting
on January 24, 1989, and the full Council would not have a
chance to meet before that. He asked for the report as soon
as possible.
