REPORTS
Councilmember Childs read Auditorium and Community
Services Committee Report No. 1-88 regarding Liquor Sales at the
Civic Auditorium as follows:
On November 24, 1987, a letter was received from
C. O. Todahl representing the Kern Federal Credit
Union, requesting exemption from using California
Sportservice, Inc., to provide liquor at their
annual dinner/dance. This request was placed on
the Council Agenda on December 2, 1987, and referred
to the Auditorium and Community Services Committee.
The Committee has met with staff to discuss this
issue. It was noted that the City of Bakersfield
is currently under contract with California
Sportservice, Inc., giving them exclusive rights to
all beverage sales at the Civic Auditorium.
Based on the above information and further deli-
berations, it is the recommendation of this
Committee that due to contract restraints we cannot
honor this request.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Auditorium and
Community Services Report No. 1-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the recommenda-
tions were implemented.
Councilmember Smith read Auditorium and Community Services
Committee Report No. 2-88 regarding Collection of Consumer-Used
Oil as follows:
A request by Mr. Daniel Kaplan regarding collection of
consumer-used drain oil was referred to the Auditorium
and Community Services Committee. The Committee met
with Mr. Kaplan and staff to discuss this issue. In
addition, contact was made with City and County Hazardous
Materials Division for their input.
Bakersfield, California, February 17, 1988 - Page 3
In compliance with federal regulations, the County Board
of Supervisors has directed an eleven member advisory
committee to identify a program for the safe management
of household hazardous wastes. As the lead agency, the
County will insure that all cities are informed and pre-
pared for implementation.
Based on the above information it is this Committee's
recommendation that the City of Bakersfield continue to
rely on County Agencies for implementing and regulating
the household hazardous waste program.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, Auditorium and
Community Services Report No. 2-88 was accepted and filed.
Councilmember Peterson, Chairman of the Auditorium and
Community Services Committee, read Report No. 3-88 regarding Growth
Restriction o~ Mimosa Trees as follows:
At the December 16, 1987, City Council meeting, the issue
ot regulating the planting and pruning o~ Mimosa Trees
within the City limits was referred to the Auditorium
and Community Services Committee for review and recom-
mendation.
This Committee met on January 29, 1988, and after con-
siderable discussion and research, it was determined
that Mimosa Trees are not illegal to plant within the
City and that requiring seasonal pruning would be
impractical to enforce.
This Committee realizes that leaves, seeds and debris
from various trees can become an inconvenience to
adjoining property owners. This variety is one of the
most popular selling trees in the inland valley of
Southern California with many planted on private and
public properties in Bakersfield.
This Committee recommends no additional action on this
issue.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, Auditorium and
Community Services Committee Report No. 3-88 was received.
Councilmember Peterson, Chairman of the Auditorium and
Community Services, read Report No. 4-88 regarding Lease o~ Central
Park Pool as follows:
At the December 2, 1987, City Council meeting, the issue
o~ leasing Central Park Pool was re~erred to the
Auditorium and Community Services Committee. On
February 4, 1988, the Committee met with staff and rep-
resentatives o~ concerned organizations to discuss this
issue.
It was determined that for the past two or more years
the Kern Acquatics Club has not been using the pool except
to lease it ~or four months each year to the Kern County
High School District. In addition, City Recreation state
has expressed a desire to incorporate the pool into
their acquatics program.
Bakersfield, California, February 17, 1988 - Page 4 "{{)~
Based on the above information, it is the recommendation
of this Committee to terminate the lease with Kern
Acquatics Club by giving a 90-day written notice of ter-
mination. It is further recommended that the Central
Park Pool be operated by the City Parks and Recreation
Division which will make the pool available to community
organizations by agreement.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Peterson, the issue of Leasing
Central Park Pool was referred back to the Auditorium and Community
Services Committee to report back to Council at a later date.
Councilmember Childs directed staff to notify all interested
parties ot the Council's actions.
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Personnel Committee,
read Report No. 2-88 regarding Interim Report on Civil Service Study
as follows:
The Personnel Committee met on February 2, 1988, to dis-
cuss draft report on the City's Civil Service System.
The Committee will continue to study the report. It
will also be meeting with community groups that have
shown interest in the issue for the purpose of getting
input before final recommendations are presented to the
Council.
Councilmember Childs stated that Personnel Committee Report
No. 2-88 is for informational purposes only.
Councilmember DeMond read Personnel Committee Report No.
regarding Reinstating Job Specifications for Street Maintenance
Superintendent (864), as follows:
At its meeting on February 2, 1988, the Personnel
Committee approved reinstatement of the Street
Maintenance Superintendent position and deletion of
the Civil Engineer IV (Streets) position from the
salary schedule. This action has also been
approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board.
The Committee recommends that the Council approve
the attached Salary Resolution to complete this
action.

Councilmember McDermott read Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 8-88, regarding Reviewing Funding of
Maintenance Services, as follows:
The Budget and Finance Committee has met to review
the desirability of conducting a City-wide survey
regarding the funding of maintenance services as
recommended by the Task Force.
The Committee reviewed this matter and discussed
narrowing the scope of the survey to include only
park and landscape maintenance. It was noted by
staff that this service is the most unequal in the
recovery ot associated costs and is of the greatest
public interest, particularly for citizens who reside
in existing park and landscape maintenance districts.
The Committee thought the proposed survey should be
simplified by focusing on one service area rather
than including the additional maintenance services
of street lighting, uncurbed street maintenance,
alley maintenance, drainage maintenance, and street
sweeping.
The Committee feels a City-wide survey pertaining
to park and landscape maintenance, which would
request various citizen preferences and present
various alternative methods for providing and fund-
ing park and landscape maintenance, would provide
useful information for use by the Task Force and
ultimately the Council.
Therefore, this Committee recommends that the Task
Force proceed with the formulation of a City-wide
survey for park and landscape maintenance services.
It is understood that prior to conducting the
actual survey, the Task Force will provide the
Council with the proposed questionnaire for their
review and comment.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 8-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, recommendations
were implemented.
Councilmember Childs read Budget and Finance Committee
Report No. 9-88, regarding Service Authority for Freeway
Emergencies, as follows:
The Budget and Finance Committee has met to review
the desirability of creating a Service Authority
for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE). The Service
Authority would provide emergency call boxes
throughout Kern County and would be ~unded by add-
ing $1.00 to motor vehicle registration fees col-
lected by the Department of Motor Vehicles. The
Authority would be made up of seven (7) members,
two (2) selected by the Board of Supervisors and
the remaining five (5) selected jointly by the
cities.
Bakersfield, California, February 17, 1988 - Page 6 °~() ~'
The Committee previously reviewed this matter and
requested that the ~unding of the SAFE be included
in a survey being conducted by the Bakersfield
Chamber of Commerce for the 1/2 cent sales tax for
road improvements. We have received the results o~
the survey which show that county-wide, 55% support
and 38% oppose the additional $1.00 ~ee ~or the
call boxes. In the Bakerstield area, 58% of
respondents support the call box program.
Therefore, based upon this additional information
and the ~act that eight other Kern County cities
have adopted resolutions in support ot establishing
the Service Authority, this Committee recommends
that the attached resolution be adopted requesting
the establishment of a Service Authority for
Freeway Emergencies by the County of Kern.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 9-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, recommendations
were implemented.
Adoption ot Resolution No. 13-88 o~ the

Councilmember McDermott read Budget and Finance Committee
Report No. 10-88, regarding Request ~or Rental Reduction for
Tandoor India Restaurant, as tollows:
The Budget and Finance Committee has met to review
a request by Tandoor India restaurant ~or a reduc-
tion in rent.
The existing lease was executed in November o~ 1985
tot a two year period with a one year option. During
the term, the City has approved one substantial
rental rate reduction establishing a rental amount
which includes a base rent and a percentage of
gross sales. The current request is to further
reduce the rent by eliminating the "percentage of
gross sales" and charging only the base amount.
The current rental is slightly below market rates
in the area. A ~urther reduction would place pri-
vately owned property at a competitive disadvantage
when trying to attract tenants. Further, assisting
a start-up business by reducing overhead costs is a
technique that should only be continued ~or a short
period o~ time. Continuous assistance or increased
assistance does not encourage the development of a
strong business entity. While it is important to
provide some assistance to businesses in the down-
town so businesses such as the current operation
can continue to contribute to the tax base, the
Committee feels a tufther reduction in rent is not
advisable at this time.
Bakersfield, California, February 17, 1988 - Page 7
Therefore, it is the recommendation of this Committee
that the rental rate remain as it is currently
structured and not be further reduced.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 10-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, Council considered
the issue of an oral report by Chief Needham regarding a gas tank
leak at Rio Bravo Fire Station an emergency item that arose after
the agenda was prepared.
Chief Needham briefed the Council on the status of a
gas tank leak at Rio Bravo Fire Station and presented pictures.
It was determined that the leak was due to a loose fitting pipe
cupling. Twining Laboratories has begun testing. Chief Needham
stated that he will continue to inform the Council of any further
findings. He then answered questions of the Council.
