PUBLIC STATEMENTS
Elizabeth Johnson, 2500 Ashe Road, #B, spoke on behalf
of God's House or Prayer, to be located at 1819 "M" Street. She
stated the facility was originally planned as a headquarters for
the organization. However, after receiving requests for low cost
meals and promises for donations of food, the plan has changed to
include meals for people with limited incomes. She stressed the
fact that it will not be a place for transients to receive free
food.
The following people spoke in protest of the proposed
Soup Kitchen at 1819 "M" Street:
Ken Reed, 1525 Wall Street

ing Council Statement was moved forward on the agenda.
COUNCIL STATEMENTS
Discussion of Adult Bookstores/Porno-
graphy on Chester Avenue, Baker Street
and 19th Street.
Councilmember Christensen read the following statement:
KNOW THE FACTS FIRST
The hospita] workers' blast against Adult Book-
stores and their cry that it is the City Council's
responsibility to "railroad" them away from Chester
Avenue and control this moral issue is totally
absurd.
The U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 ruled that Adult
Bookstores do not come under the definition of
obscenity and pornography - their ruling was that
the definition of obscenity should be based on con-
temporary community standards rather than national
or state standards.
Bakersfield, California, January 21, 1987 - Page 2
California thus far has not passed a law making
community control possible. However, there is a
current bill (SB 5) before the Senate to change
definition of obscenity.
the
The hospital workers' problem is with
Legislature. Please direct your anger
to your assemblyman and senator.
the State
and letters
The statements on the sigos were repulsive and de-
meaning. No doubt the demonstrators in the foyer
of City Hall last Wednesday wished they had had
shopping paper bags over their heads because of the
stand they took on wrong information.
Remember: 1) Adult
present definition;
many bookstores as
Bookstores are permissible under
and 2) you will always have as
public commerce will tolerate.
I personally have a high regard for women and
children. I am pleased that women, through the
years, have won the battle for equality so they are
no longer second class citizens.
(Council Statements are continued on Page 11.)

Arlene Adams read the following letter into the record:
On April 24, 1986, in a letter to the City of
Bakersfield, the United States Department of the
Interior Fish and Wildlife Service recommended that
the City drop consideration of this project because
the P.D.E.I.R. found that the conversion of the
area to a golf course is likely to reduce the habi-
tat diversity significantly, thereby causing dis-
placement of critical prey species and eventually
the local extinction of the federally listed endan-
gered species, San Joaquin Kit Fox.
Environmenal Impact Report Consultant Biologists
recommended development of a management plan ad-
dressing the species over a larger portion of the
Kern River floodway, stating that until such plans
have been completed and adopted, any development
project involving native lands, and any endangered
species would have to be considered a significant
cumulative impact.
The Fish and Wildlife Service also point to that
selection of an alternative site where resource
sensitivity is not significant would be one option
to complete abandonment of golf course construc-
tion.
On May 12, 1986, in a letter to the City of Bakers-
field, the California Department of Fish and Game
noted that the change in habitat composition will
reduce the species diversity of native plants and
animals, including species listed as rare, threat-
ened, or endangered as well as other wildlife using
the site. The Riparian Corridor would be fragment-
ed due to the loss of brush understory and tree
cover.
In addition, human disturbance would greatly reduce
benefits intended through habitat retention in open
space areas. The Department of Fish and Game also
said, "In our opinion, the proposed wildlife pro-
tective measures will not reduce the project's
wildlife impact to acceptable levels and on the
basis of the information already present in the
draft EIR record, we recommend the City of
Bakersfield give serious consideration to rejection
of the project outright, without further expendi-
tures for studies and document preparation or look
elsewhere for a construction site."

No further protests or objections, and no one else wish-
ing to speak in favor, Mayor Payne closed the public portion of
the hearing for Council deliberation.
Councilmember Ratty made a motion to adopt the statement
of overriding considerations and approve the amendment to the Kern
River Plan Element from Resource Management Flood/Hazard to Public
and Private Recreation Area/Flood Hazard with findings on pages 23
and 25-38 of the staff report, November 20, 1986, subject to miti-
gation measures identified in FEIR Addendum No. 1 for the Sand
Creek Golf Course, including all lease revenue from the golf
course shall be spent for open space and habitat enhancement with
the exception of mitigation measures No. 20, 21 and 14 regarding
the HEP evaluation, plant and Kit Fox surveys, and certify the
FEI~ and Addendum No. 1 as adequate including all mitigation meas-
ures identified on pages 4-1 through 4-13 of Addendum No. 1
including corrections noted on page 4 of the staff report, October
2, 1986.
A motion to call for the question was defeated.
Upon a substitute motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, it
was found that the final EIR and Addendum No. 1 have been completed
in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and State EIR guidelines and Resolution No. 107-86, including
Findings i through 5 on page 5 of the Staff Report (October 2, 1986)

Upon a substitute motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, the
proposed amendment to the Kern River Plan Element from Resource
Management Flood/Hazard to Public and Private Recreation Area/
Flood Hazard with the findings on page 24 of the Staff Report
(November 20, 1986) was denied by the following vote:
Ayes:

Salvaggio
Councilmember Christensen clarified his vote by stating
that he considered the four high marks of achievement for mankind
since he became a Councilmember were the purchase of the Kern
River, the passing of the Kern River Plan, the prevention of Nickel
controlling the Kern River and the killing of the golf course.
Councilmember Salvaggio clarified 'his vote by stating
that he voted to deny the General Plan Amendment because he
thought the facts demonstrated very clearly that the proposed golf
course area was unique. He was not opposed to golf, and never
will be. He believed there was room left to work out some type of
an agreement if both parties were willing to do that. For him to
vote a statement of overriding considerations would not have been
prudent nor in the best interests of the community of Bakersfield.
He feels the Council showed vision and dispelled the Johnny Carson
syndrome.
Councilmember Childs clarified his vote by stating he
voted in favor of the golf course because it was his understanding
the City had entered into a partnership agreement with the devel-
oper and was therefore obligated.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Christensen, Mayor Payne
recessed the meeting at 11:20 p.m. The meeting reconvened at
11:30 p.m.
This is the time set for a public hearing
to determine whether the public interest
and necessity require taking of 5.6 acres
of property for a public park to be lo-
cated at the southeast corner of Harris
Road and Akers Road.
Community Services Manager Dow gave a presentation on
the Harris and Akers Park.
Mayor Payne declared the hearing open for public
participation.
Attorney Tom Clark, Arrache, Clark & Potter, 5401
California Avenue, representing Angie and Victoria Delfino, the
record title holders of the Harris and Akers property, stated the
Delfinos did not want to sell the property.
No further protests or objections, and no one else wish-
ing to speak in favor, Mayor Payne closed the public portion of
the hearing for Council deliberation.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Dickerson, Resolution
No. 8-87 of the Council of the City of Bakersfield declaring the
public interest and necessity for the taking of certain property
for public park purposes was adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Childs, Christensen,
Dickerson, Salvaggio
Noes: None
Absent: None

Ratty, Moore,
Bakersfield, California, January 21, 1987 - Page 6
Councilmember Dickerson clarified his vote by stating he
believed the unanimous vote on the Harris and Akers Park project
sent a clear signal to the community that parks are a very impor-
tant project.
This is the time set for a public hearing
pursuant to Section 33679 of the Califor-
nia Health and Safety Code, as amended,
for consideration of whether the Redevel-
opment Agency of the City of Bakersfield
should commit tax increment originating
from Bakersfield Downtown Redevelopment
Project Area to the payment of a portion
of the cost of financing improvements to
the Civic Auditorium which will benefit
the Bakersfield Downtown Redevelopment
Project Area.
Economic Development Director Kennon presented an over-
view of the Civic Auditorium Improvements project.
Mayor Payne declared the hearing open for public
participation.
No protests or objections, and no one wishing to speak
in favor, Mayor Payne closed the public portion of the hearing for
Council deliberation.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Dickerson, Resolution
No. 9-87 of the Council of the City of Bakersfield consenting to
the preparation, sale and delivery of not to exceed $5,250,000

ium Improvements) and approving certain documents and authorizing

REPORTS
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 4-87, re-
garding BankAmerica Foundation request for Child Care Grant, as
follows:
At the City Council meeting of October 8, 1987,
correspondence from the BankAmerica Foundation
requesting funds in support of the California Child
Care Initiative was referred to the Budget and
Finance Committee for review.
This item had been reviewed on a prior occasion by
this committee and was deferred until issues in-
volving insurance availability were resolved and
the program audit completed. The committee met
with representatives from the Community Connection
for Child Care, the local recipient of California
Child Care Initiative funds, and the BankAmerica
Foundation. Upon review of the request with staff,
it was determined that prior concerns expressed
regarding insurance availability have been addressed
and further that the California Child Care Initia-
tive represented locally by the Community Connection
for Child Care has surpassed the pilot project
goals set for establishment of home child care pro-
viders in the Bakersfield area.
Bakersfield, California, January 21, 1987 Page 7
The committee recognizes the need for home child
care providers throughout Bakersfield and the suc-
cess of the California Child Care Initiative in
training and facilitating the licensing of home
child care providers.
Therefore, the committee recommends a one-time
grant of $5,90U from Council Contingency to the
California Child Care Initiative, directed to the
Community Connection for Child Care.
This Committee recommends approval of this report
and the implementation of its recommendation.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 4-87 was accepted and the recommendation im-
plemented.
Councilmember Dickerson, Chairman of the Legislative
Committee, read Legislative Committee Report No. 1-87 regarding
Council support of Senate Bill No. 5 Majority Report as follows:
On January 14, 1987, the City Council referred to
this committee State Senate Bill No. 5 for review
and recommendation regarding possible support by
the Council. The committee met with staff to
review Senate Bill No. 5 which would amend the
California Penal Code defining obscene matter and
harmful matter to determine the potential impact
that it may have on the City of Bakersfield.
The committee reviewed the proposed legislation and
determined that Senate Bill No. 5 would provide a
tool for local government, by making changes which
are intended to allow the use of local rather than
statewide contemporary standards in determining
whether or not a particular matter is lewd.
Further, it will allow use of local community stan-
dards in judging whether matter is obscene or harm-
ful, and facilitate enforcement actions against
those peddling obscene matter. Senate Bill No. 5
would also conform the California standard of
obscene matter to that established by the United
States Supreme Court decision in Miller vs.
California in 1973.
Therefore, this committee recommends that the
Council adopt a resolution supporting the enactment
of Senate Bill No. 5 (Deddeh) and encourages the
California Legislature to take all additional
action, consistent with constitut~ional constraints,
to assist strong and effective prosecution of those
trading in obscene or harmful matter. The commit-
tee requests acceptance of this report and the
implementation of its recommendations.
Councilmember Childs read Legislative Committee Report
No. 2-87 regarding Council support of Senate Bill No. 5 - Minority
Report as follows:
On January 14, 1987, the City Council referred
Senate Bill No. 5 to the Legislative Committee for
review and recommendation regarding possible sup-
port by the Council.
The Council, in its zeal to pass an ordinance to
protect the public from pornography, inadvertently
led to the relocation of adult bookstores to areas
which could be detrimentally affected by those
adult bookstores.
Bakersfield, California, January 21, 1987 Page 8
I believe that additional investigation and infor-
mation should be obtained to try and determine if
there would be any unwarranted prohibitive effects
resulting from the passage of any resolution or
ordinance regarding obscenity, particularly those
related to newspapers, movies, television, or other
legitimate businesses, which operate in our com-
munity.
Therefore, I recommend that the Council not take
any action on Senate Bill No. 5 (Deddeh) at this
time and that further investigation and study be
conducted to determine the effects of this legisla-
tion.
I request acceptance of this report and the imple-
mentation of its recommendation.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Dickerson, the Majority
and Minority Reports regarding Council support of Senate Bill No.
5 were accepted.
Councilmember Dickerson made a motion to implement the
recommendations of the Majority Report.
A substitute motion by Councilmember Childs to implement
the recommendations of the Minority Report failed.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Dickerson, Resolution
No. 10-87 of the Council of the City of Bakersfield supporting
Senate Bill No. 5 (Deddeh) concerning obscenity was adopted by

Councilmember Salvaggio noted that within the contract
of Resolution No. 11-87 drug testing could be required and com-
mended those responsible for negotiating the contract.
Councilmember Dickerson clarified his vote by stating
that the Council's support of the Memorandum of Understanding of
Resolution No. 11-87 made his reservations academic. He believed
the staff and employees have shown cooperation on the touchy issue
of drug testing activity, but have not focused on the issue but on
the benefits of safety. He was pleased to support this action.
Councilmember Moore clarified his vote by stating that
the Council has been very diligent in the last two years in their
attempt to bring all City employees up to a reasonable salary and
competitive with other communities of the same size. His no vote
had nothing to do with quality of work or dedication to the com-
munity, which he feels has been outstanding. He felt that at this
point in time with the economy as it is, it would have been fistally
irresponsible to do more than a cost of living increase and he has
toed the line in that regard through all the negotiations.

wasn't the case, he wanted to support his fellow Councilmember.
