REPORTS
Councilmember Salvaggio, Chairperson of the Water
Resources Committee, read Report No. 2-88 regarding appropriation
of litigation settlement funds ($55,000) for Truxtun Lake pipe-
line and State Grant funds ($20,000 for Urban Streams
Restoration Program as follows:
Due to the recent success in settlement of the
Kern Tulare Water District and Rag Gulch Water
District vs. City of Bakersfield litigation, a
major condition of the settlement was that the
City be reimbursed attorney's fees amounting
to $74,720. These expenses were incurred by
the City Water Department from January 1985
through April of 1988 in the defense of these
cases.
Bakersfield, California, July 27, 1988 - Page 4
On June 8, 1988, the City Council approved a
water exchange agreement with the Improvement
District No. 4 (ID-4) of the Kern County Water
Agency to provide an alternate supply of State
water to Truxtun Lake for groundwater
recharge. As a part of the Water Exchange
Agreement the City would construct a water
pipeline from the Cross-Valley Canal located
on the north side of the Kern River channel to
Truxtun Lake.
Due to the dry river conditions this year, the
optimum period to construct the cross-river
pipeline would be during September and October
of this year. This would allow City staff
time to complete the final design of the pipe-
line and secure the necessary permits from the
State Reclamation Board.
The pipeline project would be coordinated
with the Urban Streams Restoration project
that would provide State funding to restore
and plant approximately 200 new trees along
the shoreline of the Kern River between
Highway "99" and Coffee Road this fall. By
constructing these projects at the same time,
the pipeline work and tree planting could be
completed by October 31st, which would allow
Truxtun Lake to be refilled in early November.
If completed this year, these projects will
create a major visual impact to the Kern River
Parkway and to the Community for many years to
come.
In order to meet these work schedules and com-
plete the projects by November 1st of this
year, the Committee recommends acceptance of
this report and requests that the following
actions be taken:
Authorize $55,000 from litigation settle-
ment funds to be used to complete the
design and construction of the Truxtun
Lake Pipeline Project; and
Authorize $20,000 of State Department of
Water Resources grant funds be appropri-
ated for the implementation of the Urban
Streams Restoration Program.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, Water
Resources Committee Report No. 2-88 was accepted.

Ratty, Peterson,
Councilmember Salvaggio, Chairperson of the Water
Resources Committee, read Report No. 3-88 regarding Bakersfield
Airpark Site Assessment Work Plan as follows:
The Water Resources Committee met on July 12,
1988, and reviewed the proposals received for
the Bakersfield Airpark site contamination
assessment plan. This site assessment,
required by the State Department of Health
Services, is to be completed by a qualified
environmental engineer or professional
geologist, registered with the State of
California, and experienced in performing
environmental assessments.
The Airpark site assessment is to define the
full extent (area and depth) of the contamina-
tion at the old sump and the area adjacent to
Garriotts property, as well as the full
extent of the contamination at an oil ditch
previously used as a waste oil sump at the
Airpark. In addition to these complete
assessments, reconnaissance investigations to
determine if any additional contamination
exists at the Airpark will be conducted at (4)
four additional sites as prescribed by the
Department of Health Services. Depending upon
the results of those investigations, addi-
tional testing may be required. Once the
testing is completed, a remedial action plan
must be completed to satisfy the requirements
of the State Department of Health Services,
Regional Water Quality Board and the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency. Fifty-six
engineering companies were contacted to
request initial qualification information.
Twelve of these companies were invited to sub-
mit proposals and nine proposals were
received.
The proposal from Ensco Environmental
Services, Inc. was found to be the most com-
prehensive and thorough, with the best grasp
of the overall project and the needs of the
City in this investigation. The company's
qualifications and background in contaminated
Bakersfield, California, July 27, 1988 - Page
site investigations make them a good choice
for the Bakersfield Airpark project. The
Water Resources Committee, therefore, recom-
mends we accept their bid of $83,030 for the
Bakersfield Airpark Site Contamination
Assessment.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, Water
Resources Committee Report No. 3-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, recommenda-
tions of Water Resources Committee Report No. 3-88 were imple-
mented and the transfer of $83,030 from Council Contingency to
the Airpark Fund was authorized by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Smith, Childs, DeMond, Ratty,
McDermott, $alvaggio
Noes: None

Peterson,
Councilmember Ratty, Chairperson of the Budget and
Finance Committee, read Report No. 33-88 regarding Downtown
Improvement District ~udget for Fiscal Year 1988-89 as follows:
On May 11, 1988, the Proposed Annual Budget
for the Downtown Improvement District (D.I.D.)
for Fiscal Year 1988-89 was referred to the
Budget and Finance Committee for review. The
~udget totals $50,100. The major source of
revenues is from district assessments, which
total $49,000.
The ~udget submitted by the Downtown Business
Association is comparable to the one approved
by the Council for Fiscal Year 1987-88. They
do not anticipate any significant changes in
D.I.D. revenues and feel the $49,000 in
assessment revenue is a conservative estimate.
The ~udget includes expenditures associated
with the promotion and improvement of the
Downtown Area, including the annual Christmas
Parade, Street Faires, and other promotional
events conducted by the Downtown Business
Association.
The Committee has reviewed the Budget in its
role as Trustee of the D.I.D. funds and recom-
mends the Proposed Annual Budget be accepted
and approved.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 33-88 was accepted.
Bakersfield, California, July 27, 1988 - Page 7
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, recommendations
of Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 3-88 were implemented.
Councilmember McDermott, Chairperson of the Urban
Development Committee, read Report No. 6-88 regarding traffic
control at the intersection of Westwind Drive and Truxtun Avenue
as follows:
On June 22, 1988, the issue of traffic control
at the intersection of Westwind Drive and
Truxtun Avenue was referred to the Urban
Development Committee for review.
The Committee has reviewed various traffic
solutions presented by staff which would
improve the traffic flow and reduce conflicts
at the intersection. Also at the request of
the Committee, the staff has met with various
adjacent property and business owners in the
Westwind area to assess the impact of these
proposed solutions.
Based upon the information gained from these
contacts, and staff's recommendation, the
Committee recommends that the left turn
restricting median be placed on Truxtun Avenue
at Westwind Drive in-lieu of traffic signal
control. Additionally, a break in the median,
east of the intersection and the canal, would
be constructed to allow U-turns on Truxtun.
The Committee further recommends that the con-
struction of a traffic signal at the intersec-
tion of 19th and Oak Streets be studied. This
traffic signal would be proposed for construc-
tion when traffic signal warrants are met. We
recommend acceptance and approval of this
report.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Urban
Development Committee Report No. 6-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, recommenda-
tions of Urban Development Committee Report No. 6-88 were imple-
mented.
Councilmember Childs, Chairperson of
Committee, read Personnel Committee Report No.
Charter Amendments - Final Report as follows:
the Personnel
13-88 regarding
This is the final report of the Personnel
Committee on the Charter Amendment for the
November 1988 Ballot. There are a few changes
to be made to the Charter Amendment distrib-
uted to the Council at the July 6, 1988
meeting.
Bakersfield, California, July 27, 1988 - Page 8
Again, we recommend that the Charter revisions
be separated into seven ballot measures, each
to receive a separate vote by the electorate.
The measures and sequence are depicted in the
resolutions on this agenda.
The Personnel Committee recommends that the
Mayor's salary be set in the Charter at
$24,000. Although the salary issue received
considerable discussion, it was decided by the
Committee that $24,000 was an appropriate
amount based on a salary survey of cities with
directly elected mayors and based on the rec-
ommendation of the Charter Review Committee.
We also support the changes recommended by tile
employee organizations that resulted from
their review of the proposed Charter
Amendment. There have been many compromises
that have come about throughout the long proc-
ess and this Committee feels that the Charter
Amendment should incorporate all of the
changes listed in the memo of July 15, 1988
from the Assistant City Manager.
The Personnel Committee requests Council
acceptance of this report and approval of
recommendations.
its
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Personnel
Committee Report No. 13-88 was accepted.
Councilmember $alvaggio stated that an agreement had
been reached between the Police Department and the Union repre-
senting the Miscellaneous Employees and submitted the following
as an addendum to the Final Report:
Section (228) 8. be changed "Sworn officers
and nonsworn personnel in classifications
unique to the Police Department shall be
on probation for a period of one year; and
all other nonsworn personnel to have a six-
month probation."
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the addendum to
the Charter change, was considered as an item that arose after
the agenda was prepared.
Councilmember Childs made a motion to implement the rec-
ommendations of Personnel Committee Report No. 13-88 with the
addendum.
Councilmember McDermott made a substitute motion to
divide the question and vote on Measures B and C dealing with
Mayor and Council's salary separately.

City Manager Hawley explained that the cost to place
the measures on the ballot would depend on the number of other
issues on the ballot. He stated that the amount could range from
$40,000 to $160,000, depending on how many cards were used and if
the issues were placed on the ballot in November or deferred
until June.
Councilmember Childs withdrew his motion, and asked
Councilmember McDermott to withdraw his motion.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Items 12. h, i,
and j, were moved forward on the agenda.
Councilmember Peterson stated for the record that he
appreciates the time spent on community service by the Charter
Review Committee.
Councilmember Childs made a motion to implement the

Councilmember Childs clarified his vote. He thanked the
Council and the Charter Committee for their hard work in regards
to trying to make Bakersfield a better place to live. He also
stated that Vernon Strong and Art Arviso were asked to serve on
the Charter Review Committee from the formation of the Committee.
Councilmember Smith clarified her "no" vote, stating she
was sorry that she didn't get to vote on the other five measures
to show her support for them. She felt that the vote tonight
certainly does not indicate that the Council and the Mayor will
receive a salary increase but indirectly her vote would, if she
voted yes, be a vote for a salary increase.
Bakersfield, California, July 27, 1988 - Page 10
Councilmember McDermott clarified his "no" vote stating it
was unfortunate that he was not given the opportunity to support
the other five measures. He felt he articulated earlier some of
the reasons why he did oppose placing B and C on the ballot. The
Council needs to remember that if the Council is doing the type
of job that would allow the citizens of the community to give the
Council a salary raise, he believes the citizens of the community
can make that decision themselves and can go out and would start
the process themselves rather than the Council recommending to
the citizens of Bakersfield that the Council be given a salary
raise.
