Interim City Manager Hawley read City Manager Report
No. 3-88 regarding Alternative Sites for the Homeless Shelter,
as follows:
At the direction of the City Council, staff has
analyzed the Beale/Sumner site and the East Truxtun
site being considered for a homeless facility. We
have talked to opponents and advocates of the two
sites, reviewed the arguments, reviewed the funding
possibilities and have notified the property owners
within 300 feet of the Beale/Sumner site.
Attached for Council's review are the advantages
and disadvantages of the two sites, the number
and types of properties that would be affected by
a shelter at the two sites, a cost comparison of
the two sites and a report on the funds that are
available for a facility.
As you are well aware, it is difficult to find
a suitable site for a homeless facility. The
study prepared by Northcutt and Associates
recommended six possible sites. The Homeless
Coalition Task Force evaluated these, plus five
additional locations. Their priority-one site
was located at 1400 Sumner Street. This site
was leased to another business and is no longer
available. Their priority-two site was the
Sumner/Beale site to be developed only if the
day center was developed separately. The size
of this site was not adequate for the future
addition of a detoxification center. Later,
the East Truxtun site three was added and
recommended as their preferred site for a
combined day center and future detoxification
center.
If the East Truxtun site is approved, the
Council should adopt the recommendations
outlined in Attachment F. This would allow for
work to begin immediately with the facility
being available for use this next winter.
If the Sumner/Beale site is approved, the
Council should adopt the recommendations
outlined in Attachment G. This would require
amending the Baker Street Specific Plan and
financing of the project would have to be
secured.
Bakersfield, California, March 2, 1988, Page 3
If neither of these sites are acceptable to the
neighborhoods and the Council, it it recommended
that the homeless issue be referred back to the
Intergovernmental Relations Committee for a re-
evaluation of the scope of the facility, a
review of alternate sites, and a restructuring of
the funding.

Councilmember Ratty's motion was approved by the follow-
ing vote:
Ayes:
Noes:
Absent:
Councilmembers Childs, Demond, Ratty, Salvaggio
Councilmembers Smith, Peterson, McDermott
None
Councilmember Salvaggio clarified his vote, stating that
the 24-hour homeless shelter proposal is not a utopian one, but
a reasonable and compassionate response to the needs of the home-
less. He felt it is comprehensive and a broad-based proposal,
and was swayed in part by the fact that it would resolve two
long-standing community needs. One need is for a detoxification
facility; and the other a public inebriate center. He is well
aware that the causes and possible solutions to the problems of
the homeless are many and complex; but it has to start somewhere,
even as the homeless continue to suffer. Bakersfield City gov-
ernment must become part of the solution to these difficulties.
He felt this proposal offers hope for the homeless. To him, that
is the most important part. He feels this Council has shown
that they have vision, and is moving forward. The Council is not
standing still and is not content with the status quo. He wants
the Council to work together and make a better Bakersfield.
Councilmember Demond clarified her vote, thanking her
fellow Councilmembers. She stated this was not an easy decision
for anyone. She is looking to the community to support the
facility. As the Council comes together after a vote, either
minority or majority, she asks the community to do the same. In
that regard, she indicated she was approached by a business in
town called Mag-tel, that installs telephones. They have offered
free labor to install all the internal communication phone lines,
she then solicited the community to provide support for the faci-
lity.
Vice-Mayor Smith clarified her vote, stating that she
expressed some real concerns tonight. The city has a homeless
shelter and that is the important thing. The next important
thing is to get the facility on line, get it built and put all of
our efforts behind really making it work. She knows that her
concerns will certainly be taken under consideration and she
would hope that all the social service agencies will work
together to make the facility really happen.

1987 and January 20, 1988.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio the continued
public hearing for hearing protests by any person owning real

tory designated as Berkshire No. 1, proposed to be annexed to
the City of Bakersfield was deferred to the meeting of April 27,

REPORTS
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, Report No.
from the Intergovernmental Relations Committee regarding
County Landfill Operations was referred back to the
Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
4-88
Funding
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Personnel
Committee, read Personnel Committee Report No. 4-88 regarding the
Economic Development Director recruitment as follows:
After additional information was provided by
Staff, it was determined that we would not
use a search firm for the Economic Development
Director position, and the City Personnel
Division will handle the recruitment. The
Personnel Committee feels very confident with
the Personnel staff and their ability to
attract well-qualified applicants for this
position.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Personnel
Committee Report No. 4-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the recommenda-
tions of Personnel Committee Report No. 4-88 were implemented.
Councilmember Ratty, Chairman of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 11-88
regarding $B 300 - Road Maintenance as follows:
$B 300 (1985) provided a one-time, nonrecurring
grant to California cities to be used for road
maintenance over and above annual expenditures.
Subsequently, several cleanup bills have been
passed by the legislature to help individual
cities that have had difficulty meeting the
maintenance of effort requirements of the grant.
Bakersfield, California, March 2, 1988 - Page 8
This City is still short of meeting the maintenance
of effort requirements which will result in reduced
gas tax allocations in the future unless remedial
action is taken. To resolve this problem, it is
proposed that the following actions be taken:
1. The City should request legislative relief
to change its base year for $B 300 calculations
to FY 1983-84 and/or to allow the City to
utilize a three-year average.
2. The City should shift the funding and timing
of certain capital projects, as indicated on
the attached schedules, so sufficient road
maintenance projects qualifying for SB 300
maintenance of effort are completed in FY
1987-88 so the City may take advantage of the
three-year averaging calculation.
3. That the projects which will be deferred in
this process will be reprogrammed in the
City's Capital Improvement Program and
budgeted through the normal annual process.
Therefore, this Committee recommends the acceptance
of the recommendations included in this report and
the amendments to the Capital Improvements Budget as
indicated in the attached schedules. The Committee
also recommends that staff be authorized to pursue
the required legislative relief as stated above.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 11-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, the recommenda-
tions of Budget and Finance Committee Report No 11-88 were
implemented. ·
Councilmember McDermott read Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 12-88 regarding Police Pistol Range.
as follows:
The Budget and Finance Committee met on
February 10, 1988 to discuss the relocation
of the City of Bakersfield Police Pistol Range.
The sale of the existing Pistol Range, which
has been considered periodically over the years,
is needed as the current location is no longer
functional as a pistol range by the Police
Department.
The Committee considered the purchase of a new
Pistol Range and recommends that staff begin the
negotiation process concurrent with, or prior to,
the sale of the existing Pistol Range. The funds
generated from the sale of the existing Pistol
Range should be used for a new range.
Therefore, this Committee recommends the acceptance
of the recommendations included in this report
and that:
The sale of the existing Pistol Range be
sent to the Planning Commission to ensure
conformance with the General Plan.
Bakersfield, California, March 2, 1988 - Page 9
The Council designate the property as surplus,
and authorize staff to negotiate the sale.
Negotiations begin on the purchase of a
new Pistol Range.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 12-88 was accepted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, the recom-
mendations of the Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 12-88
were implemented.
Councilmember Childs read Budget and Finance Committee
Report No. 13-88 regarding a Lease Agreement between the City of
Bakersfield and the Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc. as follows:
On February 10, 1988, the Budget and Finance
Committee considered an agreement between the
Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc. and the City
of Bakersfield for the use of property located
at 601 5th Street. Currently the Bakersfield
Senior Center, Inc. has a fifty year lease with
the City of Bakersfield for the property located
at 530 4th Street and 601 5th Street. Until
January of 1988, the Bakersfield Association for
Retarded Citizens was leasing the property at
601 5th Street. This property is developed with a
5,000 square foot metal building and approximately
15,000 square feet of open storage area.
The Parks Division is currently looking for
available indoor and outdoor storage area for the
continuing operation of their park maintenance
program. The property at 601 5th Street has been
identified as a suitable location for this operation
and the Parks Department is proposing to lease the
site for a period of two years at the rate of
$1,331 per month.
Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council
authorize the Mayor to sign the lease agreement
with the Bakersfield Senior Center, Inc. for the
property located at 601 5th Street.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 13-88 was accepted.
Lease Agreement No. 88-45 between the City
of Bakersfield and the Bakersfield Senior
Center, inc.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the

Councilmember Childs read Budget and Finance Committee
Report No. 14-88 regarding City of Bakersfield Hospital Revenue
Bonds (Adventist Health System/West) as follows:
Recently, the City Council received a request
from the First Interstate Public Finance Company
on behalf of Adventist Health System/West to
allow the issuance of revenue bonds to finance
404
Bakersfield, California, March 2, 1988 - Page 10
the acquisition of a membership in San Joaquin
Community Hospital (a non-profit corporation).
The Council referred the matter to the Budget
and Finance Committee for study and recommendation.
This Committee has met with members of City staff
and officials from First Interstate. We noted they
are requesting to issue $25 - 35 million Charter
City Bonds. They indicated Charter City Bond
financing will result in a cost curtailment to the
patients.
Additionally, we noted it will be necessary for
the City to incur administrative expenses for such
items as reviewing legal documents, etc. We also
felt the residents of the City of Bakersfield should
receive specific benefits if the City of Bakersfield
approves the hospital's use of the charter powers
to finance this program. After discussing these
matters with the hospital's representatives, we
believe a fee of four-tenths of one percent of the
amount of Bonds to be issued will offset any costs
the City will incur as well as provide a specific
benefit to the residents of the City.
The hospital's representatives have agreed to our
request, therefore, this Committee recommends the
City Council authorize City of Bakersfield Hospital
Revenue Bonds (Adventist Health System/West) and
consider this first reading of the ordinance.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 14-88 was accepted.
First reading of an Ordinance of the
City Council of the City of Bakersfield
amending section 3.60.030 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code, relating to
the Financing of Health Facilities.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the recommenda-
tions of Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 14-88 were
implemented and first reading was given to an Ordinance of the
City Council of the City of Bakersfield amending Section 3.60.030
of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, relating to the Financing of
Health Facilities.
Councilmember McDermott read Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 15-88 regarding Golden Empire Sports
Complex as follows:
On August 26, 1987, the City Council approved
Budget and Finance Committee Report 33-87 which
recommended that staff negotiate a multi-year
lease and option to purchase for the Golden Empire
Sports Complex. On January 6, 1988, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 4-88 recommended
that no agreement be entered into as a result
of a private operator being able to run the
facility. This item was referred back to the
Committee so additional information received
after the preparation of the report could be
reviewed.
Bakersfield, California, March 2, 1988 - Page 11
Since that time, it has been determined that it
is unlikely that a private operator will be
interested in operating the facility and that
it is in the City's best interest to operate the
facility. Staff has met with the owners and has
negotiated a lease agreement.
Therefore, this Committee recommends acceptance
of this report and that Council authorize the
Mayor to execute the lease agreement.
Upon a motion by Councilmember McDermott, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 15-88 was accepted.
Lease Agreement No. 88-46 regarding
