REPORTS
Interim City Manager Hawley read City Manager Report No.
1-88 regarding Relocation of the Police Pistol Range as follows:
The City has considered the relocation of the
Truxtun Avenue Police Pistol Range for several
decades. As population and intensity of development
have moved outward, the property has become sur-
rounded by uses incompatible with a shooting range.
Through the years, maintenance and repair have also
been deferred as relocation was considered.
The staff has been exploring different options for
sale of the range and development of a replacement.
It is now at a point where Council should start
reviewing the options.
I request that the relocation of the Police Pistol
Range be sent to the Budget and Finance Committee.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the relocation of
the Police Pistol Range was sent to the Budget and Finance
Committee.
Bakersfield, California, February 3, 1988 - Page 2
Interim City Manager Hawley read City Manager Report No.
2-88 regarding Creation of Litigation Committee as follows:
I request and propose that the Council consider
creating a Litigation Committee. The function of
the Committee would be to receive input from the
City Attorney's Office and retain outside counsel
on the progress of pending litigation. The Committee
would meet at least monthly to be updated on all
cases filed against and served on the City since
its previous meeting, plus receive periodic updates
on older cases, and will assist the City Attorney
in determining the necessity for closed sessions
with the entire Council.
It is not intended that committee consideration of
pending suits be substituted for Council considera-
tion in closed session. The full Council should be
provided with information on major cases in closed
session at least as often as previously. However,
time constraints on closed sessions necessarily
limit the number of matters that may be brought to
the Council.
The Committee may make recommendations to the
Council concerning the services of outside (contract)
counsel and may be involved in risk management and
in making recommendations to the Council on proposals
to reduce the City's liability. Proposals concerning
staffing of the City Attorney's office may also be
presented to the Committee for recommendations to
the Council.
I, therefore, request that the Council create the
Litigation Committee.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, a Litigation
Committee to be formed by the Council was approved by the follow-
ing vote:

Councilmember DeMond read Legislative Committee Report
No. 1-88 regarding Support for Reinstatement of the 15-Year Term
of State Tax Incentives for Employment and Economic Incentive
Program Areas as follows:
On January 20, 1988, the City Council referred to
the Legislative Committee for review and recommen-
dation a proposed resolution supporting the rein-
statement of the 15-year term of state tax incentive
program areas.
In 1986, under the Employment Economic Incentive
Act, a portion of southeast metropolitan Bakersfield
was granted a state designation as an employment
and economic incentive program area which had a
15-year term for state tax incentives. In 1987,
California tax conformity legislation brought
California laws into compliance with the Federal
Tax Reform Act and certain tax incentive time spans
were reduced from 15 to 5 years.
The Committee felt that reinstatement of the
15-year term of state tax incentives for employment
and economic incentive programs is essential to the
welfare of the community's SEEZ. Consequently, the
Committee recommends the Council accept this report
and adopt the resolution.
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, Legislative
Committee Report No. 1-88 was accepted.
Adoption of Resolution No. 8-88 of the
Council of the City of Bakersfield
Supporting the Reinstatement of the 15
Year Term of the State Tax Incentives for
Employment and Economic Incentive Program
Areas.
Councilmember DeMond read the Resolution No. 8-88 as
follows:
WHEREAS, the State of California adopted Assembly
Bill 540 in 1984 permitting the designation of
Employment and Economic Incentive Program Areas
within the State; and
WHEREAS, the legislation included ~tate tax incen-
tives allowable to qualified businesses and indus-
tries located within or relocating from elsewhere
into the area within the certain and specific boun-
daries of the Program Areas for a 15-year period;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield and the County Of
Kern, as joint applicants, have been designated
collectively as the administrators of an Employment
and Economic Incentive Program Area; and
Bakersfield, California, February 3, 1988 Page 4
WHEREAS, the state tax conformity to the Federal
Tax Reform Act of 1986 on "enterprise zones" as
presented in Assembly Bill 53 and Senate Bill 572
sunsets the Program Area incentives effective
January 1, 1993, thereby substantially reducing the
life of the program; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield and the County of
Kern, have long range negotiations pending that
depend on the state tax incentives being available
as originally legislated in the Employment and
Economic Incentive Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council
of the City of Bakersfield, that the Council does
hereby support and encourage the reinstatement of
the 15-year tax incentives for businesses which
locate or expand within the targeted area.
Councilmember DeMond made a motion to adopt Resolution
No. 8-88.
Councilmember McDermott, made a motion to call for the
question.
the last
follows:
Councilmember Childs made a substitute motion to amend
paragraph on Page 2 of Resolution No. 8-88 to read as
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council
of the City of Bakersfield, that the Council does
hereby support and encourage the reinstatement of
the Enterprise Zone Program as originally adopted in
the Employment and Economic Incentive Act, as it is
critical to Metropolitan Bakersfield's efforts to
attract new business and industry to the Bakersfield
Area, creating long term employment and new capital
investment in an economically depressed area of
significantly, pervasive, poverty and low income.
Upon a substitute motion by Councilmember Childs the
recommendation contained within the substitute motion was
approved by the following vote:
Ayes:
Noes:
Absent:
Councilmembers Childs, DeMond, Peterson,
Councilmembers Smith, Ratty, McDermott
Mayor Payne

Councilmember DeMond read Intergovernmental Relations
Committee Report No. 2-88 regarding Ambulance Response Process as
follows:
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee has been
meeting regularly and dealing with the issue of
ambulance company response. Meetings have been
ongoing at the staff level relative to the City
Council's order to change the response system for
ambulance companies from a rotation process to clo-
sest available unit. As you are aware, the process
is in place and working rather well at this time.
On January 14, 1988, representatives from the
Bakersfield Fire Department, Kern County Fire
Department, Hall Ambulance, Golden Empire Ambulance,
and Kern County Emergency Medical Services met to
review the closest ambulance response policy,
adopted December 4, 1987, and discussed other
issues regarding ambulance service in the City.
Bakersfield, California, February 3, 1988 - Page 5
After reviewing response time data (attached), it
was obvious that the basic agreed upon standards
are being met by both ambulance companies in the
metropolitan area with 94.1% within the 8 minute
guideline and 99.4% within the 12 minute guideline,
leaving .6% longer than the 12 minute maximum. A
very small number of response times are over the
twelve minute maximum response, but most of these
responses have been in the extreme outlying areas
of the metropolitan area. It was agreed upon by
all present that there needs to be further review
of the proper format for response time calculations.
Further study of all available information will
continue for approximately ninety days, and at the
end of this period the various impacts of this
agreement will be addressed. New technologies
which could improve the overall efficiency of ambu-
lance service and the dispatch process will also be
studied in the near future.
The present closest ambulance response agreement is
only the beginning of a process designed to reduce
ambulance response times in the metropolitan area.
All those involved in the agreement have maintained
a very positive attitude and ambulance service lev-
els to the people of the metropolitan area have
improved. Further evaluation of this agreement
will continue to take place with improvements in
the system initiated as solutions to problem issues
are identified. The City Ambulance Committee meets
once per month to review past experience and per-
formance and discuss future improvements.
In the opinion of the Intergovernmental Relations
Committee, the issue of "response time" of ambulance
services is being dealt with in an appropriate
manner. A follow-up report on the issue of ambu-
lance response will come before the Council in
sixty days.
Upon a motion by Councilmember DeMond, Intergovernmental
Relations Committee Report No. 2-88 was accepted.
Councilmember Childs read Budget and Finance Committee
Report No. 6-88 regarding Salary of the Interim City Manager as
follows:
On January 20, 1988, the City Council referred to
the Budget and Finance Committee the matter of the
salary for the Interim City Manager. We have met
and discussed this matter and this Committee recom-
mends that the Interim City Manager receive a salary
equal to step four on the salary range for City
Manager. This would be a 7.6% increase from step
five of the Public Works Manager salary range and
would be consistent with past practice regarding
compensation for employees in acting status.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 6-88 was accepted and recommendations imple-
mented.
Councilmember Childs clarified his vote, stating his
congratulations and thanks to Interim Manager Hawley for his con-
tinuous support of the City of Bakersfield.

Councilmember McDermott read Budget and Finance Committee
Report No. 7-88 regarding City Brochure as follows:
On December 9, 1987 the City Council referred to
the Budget and Finance Committee the matter of
appropriating funds for the printing of a City
Brochure.
We have met and discussed this matter and the
Committee recommends that due to possible signifi-
cant changes in the structure of City government
and the Mayoral election in June, it would be best
to defer the printing and appropriation of funds
until the 1988-89 fiscal year.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 7-88 was accepted and recommen-
dations implemented.
