Staff has met with such groups and has presented their concerns to the Committee. Based on this input, the Committee recommends the following: That the proposed Ordinance amendment be revised to provide that any licensee who, during the preceding two-month period (commencing on March 1, 1989), used or contributed at least ten percent (10%) of its gross receipts from bingo games, including pull tabs, for charitable pur- poses not relating to the conduct of bingo games, be allowed to conduct more Bakersfield, California, March 15, 1989 Page 2 than 25 games of bingo during its once per week session, and be permitted to give away door prizes, food, bingo cards, pull-tabs, trips, services, merchandise or any cash prizes and promotions. 2 o That the City Council request the Mayor to communicate in writing with the Board of Supervisors requesting that the County adopt a similar Ordinance insuring that a certain percentage of County bingo games proceeds goes to charity. That the City Council review the impact of this Ordinance if requested by bingo operators after six months to address any problems; That City staff meet with all bingo operators to explain the Ordinance changes and the new reporting procedures. Therefore, with these changes, the Committee recom- mends the revised Ordinance and that it be given first reading.

Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, the recommenda- tions of Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 8-89 were implemented. Councilmember Childs read Budget and Finance Committee. Report No. 9-89 regarding Sale of City Fire Station as follows: The Budget and Finance Committee has met to discuss the sale of the City fire station located at 790 East Brundage Lane. This station had been vacated several years ago due to the building condition and a site that is no longer central to the response district. In accordance with Committee Report No. 22-88 directing the negotiated sale of the Brundage Lane station and the fire station at 4th and "L" Streets, the staff advertised for bids on December 28, 1988. The City received a $70,000 bid from Mr. Robert Jackson for the Brundage Lane fire station; the bid was held by a $1,000 deposit. Mr. Jackson's intent is to use the building for his property maintenance office. The City did not receive any bids for the station at 4th and "L" Streets. The Budget and Finance Committee recommends that a public hearing be set for March 29, 1989. The purpose of the hearing will be for the Council to determine: 1. The proposed sale is in the best interest of the City. 2. The benefits to be derived by the City justify the sale price. Bakersfield, California, March 15, 1989 - Page 3 The Budget and Finance Committee requests Council acceptance of this report and approval of the report recommendations. Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, ~udget and Finance Committee Report No. 9-89 was accepted. Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the recommenda-- tions of Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 9-89 were implemented. Councilmember McDermott read Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 10-89 regarding City-wide Park District Survey as follows: The Budget and Finance Committee has met to review the questionnaire for the proposed City-wide park district survey. We have met with representatives from California State University Bakersfield, who will be conducting the survey, and have reviewed a proposed survey questionnaire (included with this report), which would request citizen input on pre- ferences and alternative methods for providing and funding park and recreational facilities. It is our understanding that this questionnaire would be used in a pilot survey, and would be modified as needed by the survey team to provide the most accurate responses to our questions. Upon com- pletion of the pilot survey, the Committee would like to request that the final survey questionnaire be reviewed by this Committee prior to beginning the final survey. The Committee feels this survey will provide information to the City Council regarding citizen support of a City-wide park district. Therefore, this Committee recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement to conduct the survey, not to exceed $10,000, and that $10,000 be transferred from Council Contingency to the City Manager's Budget to conduct the entire survey. Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 10-89 was accepted. Agreement No. 89-45 with California State University Bakersfield to conduct a survey regarding citizen support of City-wide park district. Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, the recommen- dations of Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 10-89 were implemented and Agreement No. 89-45 was approved and the Mayor was authorized to execute. Councilmember DeMond, Chairperson of the Legislative Committee, read Report No. 2-89 regarding Requests for Support for AB 8, AB 55, and $B 50 as follows: At the City Council meetings of February 1 and February 15, 1989, the City Council referred to the Legislative Committee requests for support from Assemblywoman Bey Hansen, 8th Assembly District, and Assemblyman Rich Floyd, 53rd Assembly District, for both their bills on motorcycle helmet safety. The Committee reviewed materials on the issues, choosing Bakersfield, California, March 15, 1989 - Page 4 not to support either bill, as the passage of either would result in the imposition of a state-mandated local program for which there would be no reimburse- ment from the state to cover costs of implementation. Both bills are currently before the Assembly Transportation Committee. At the City Council meeting of February 15, 1989, the Council also referred to the Legislative Committee a request from the Kern Regional Services for support for SB 50, which would allow it to continue to provide funding services to its clients. The bill was signed by the Governor on March 2, 1989, and is now public law. As a result, a response to this issue is not needed. Committee members feel that the City Council should remain neutral on both AB 8 and AB 55 and take no action on SB 50, which is now California law. The Legislative Committee, therefore, recommends that the City Council accept this report and its recommendations. Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, Legislative Committee Report No. 2-89 was accepted. Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, the recommenda- tions of Legislative Committee Report No. 2-89 were implemented. Councilmember McDermott, Chairperson of the Urban Development Committee, read Report No. 2-89 regarding Skyline Signage Ordinance as follows: The Planning Commission has conducted public hearings of the attached ordinance amending the sign ordinance. At the conclusion of its hearing, the Commission adopted a negative declaration and resolution recommending adoption of the ordinance. The ordinance better defines "parcel of property," expands size and height of subdivision signs and allows additional flags and banners for tract sales offices. The ordinance would also allow placement of building identification signs on the face of the top story of buildings in the C-0, C-l, C-2, M-1 and M-2 zones. The standards proposed for skyline signs provide legibility while protecting quality in signage for the buildings. The Urban Development Committee recommends adoption of the ordinance and its first reading tonight. First Reading of an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Bakersfield amending Sections 17.60.030 29., 17.60.110 G.i., 17.60.110 K.i., 17.60.110 O.1 and 17.60.260 F.6. of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and adding Sections 17.60.245 and 17.60.265 to the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to Signs.

Bakersfield, California, March 15, 1989 Page 5 Councilmember Peterson read Urban Development Committee Report No. 3-89 regarding an Ordinance Regulating Parking of Commercial Vehicles in Residential Zones as follows: From time to time the city has received complaints about the parking of large commercial trucks in residential zones. Last year state law was amended to specifically allow cities to adopt ordinances prohibiting commercial vehicles having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more from parking on residential streets. The City Attorney has drafted an ordinance in response to the state law and problems we have had. As the committee reviewed the ordinance with staff we determined that a gross vehicle rating of 12,000 pounds would be more appropriate so we would not be affecting large pickups. Neither is it the intent to regulate rec- reational vehicle parking through this ordinance. It is recommended that the City Clerk calendar the attached ordinance for public hearing as required by law.
