cilmembers to appoint the GET Bus/Valley Plaza ad hoc committee
and work out the particulars for a plan of action.
John Petrini, 1800 30th Street, requested a review of
the proposed subdivision (Tract 4708) by the Planning Commission
or the Public Works Department to consider future drill sites.
Mayor Payne stated that correspondence regarding Tract
4708 has been received from Timothy T. Gilmer, Oregon City, Ore-
gon, J. Michael Gilmer, Bakersfield, Thomas Gilmer Kelley, Lodi,
Judith G. Anderson, Herald, California, and JoAnne Berryhill-
Slack, Coquille, Oregon.
Upon a request by Judy Anderson, 11995 Kirkwood Street,
Herald, California, Mayor Payne read a letter into the record from
Ms. Anderson to the City Council regarding Tract No. 4708 as
follows:
I am writing regarding the above described tract
which comes up for final approval on the Consent
Calendar on March 25, 1987. I own mineral rights
on this property. My rights are being violated by
the Tract Map as there are no drill sites reserved.
There is an existing producing field on the quarter
section of land on which this tract is located.
This field is operated by Mobile Oil and has been
developed for subdivision under Tract Maps No. 4706
and 4707 with many drill sites reserved on the de-
mand of the operating company.
I signed a five year lease with TXO Oil Company in
1985 which involves the remainder of the acreage
not being operated by Mobile Oil. TXO then assign-
ed the lease to Jim Boylan in August, 1986. It
seems obvious that Mr. Boylan acquired this lease
for intents far removed from oil exploration and
has possibly attempted to waive drill sites through
this lease. I have recently learned that this
lease was signed by only 44% of the mineral hold-
ers. Therefore, I am wondering if the acquisition
of this lease does the "lessee" any good at all.
It clearly appears that the rights of the mineral
owners would be totally disregarded by the approval
of Tract No. 4708 and Tract No. 4709 (still meeting
requirements of the Planning Department).
We have been told by prominent geologists that
there is definitely oil on this property and could
provide testimony to that fact. Access to that oil
should not be denied.
Please give consideration to the points of this
letter. This Tract Map should not be approved as
it now stands.
Bakersfield, California, March 25, 1987 Page 3

REPORTS
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 12-87, re-
garding a proposed office/construction shop at 1211 Dolores Street,
as follows:
John Enriquez submitted a letter to the City Coun-
cil requesting land acquisition assistance for the
relocation of his existing office and construction
operation from 827 Pacific Street to 1211 Dolores
Street. Mr. Enriquez proposes to construct a two
story, 5200 square foot metal building.
This proposal was reviewed by this committee on
February 25, 1987, and March 11, 1987. The project,
as proposed, requests $65,000 (Sixty-Five Thousand)
of Community Development Block Grant Funds be
authorized to assist in the acquisition of a 30,000
square foot parcel located at the Southeast corner
Bakersfield, California, March 25, 1987 - Page 6
of Robinson and Dolores Streets. Conventional fi-
nancing will be provided for construction and the
long term financing. An independent appraisal
shows that this project, once completed, will be
valued at $325,000. Mr. Enriquez will be creating
10 to 20 new jobs as a result of the additional
work that is anticipated over the following years.
This project is located within the Southeast
Enterprise Zone.
The following items were agreed to by Mr. Enriquez
and should be contained in the agreement:
1. The City will provide Mr. Enriquez with a
$65,000 deferred loan.
Mr. Enriquez will make annual payments of
$5,000 per year for four years totaling
$20,000.
At the end of four years, staff will re-eval-
uate the project and Mr. Enriquez's ability to
repay the remaining balance of the loan. If
repayment cannot be made, the remaining balance
of $45,000 will be amortized at 9% for a term
of seven years.
Mr. Enriquez may repay the outstanding balance
of the loan at any time without penalty and may
pay more than the $5,000 annual payment.
Therefore, it is recommended that this request be
approved and the Mayor be authorized to execute the
agreement containing the elements outlined in this
report.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 12-87 was accepted and recommenda-
tions implemented.
Councilmember Salvaggio, Chairman of the Personnel Com-
mittee, read Personnel Committee Report No. 4-87, regarding re-
vised job specifications for Building Inspector, as follows:
On March 5, 1987, the Personnel Co~nittee met to
discuss revised/new job specifications for Build-
ing Inspector III. The current Building Inspector
job specification is very general in nature. Occa-
sionally, the City will require a Building Inspec-
tor III who specializes in either the area of
plumbing and mechanical or in the area of electri-
cal. In order that the City will be able to re-
cruit and hire exactly the type of person required
for a particular job, it is recommended that the
Council approve changes in job specifications that
would allow for the development of a Building In-
spector III- Plumbing and Mechanical, a Building
Inspector III- Electrical Specialist, and a re-
vised Building Inspector III Generalist. No
additional funds will be required for these changes.
It is recommended that this report be accepted and
that the recommendations contained herein be imple-
mented.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, Personnel Com-
mittee Report No. 4-87 was accepted and recommendations implemen-
ted.
Bakersfield, California, March 25, 1987 Page 7
Councilmember Salvaggio, Chairman of the Personnel Com-
mittee, read Personnel Committee Report No. 5-87, regarding re-
classification of Battalion Chief to Hazardous Materials Coordi-
nator, as follows:
On March 5, 1987, the Personnel Committee met to
discuss the reclassification of a Battalion Chief
to that of Hazardous Materials Coordinator. The
current budget includes a Battalion Chief to be in
charge of hazardous material assignments for the
City of Bakersfield. Prior to filling this posi-
tion, it was once again reviewed to determine if
the classification of Battalion Chief was most
appropriate for this position. After this review,
it was determined that if this position were re-
classified to that of Hazardous Materials Coordi-
nator, there would be two advantages. First, it
was determined that the City would be able to re-
cruit a person with a higher degree of technical
experience. Second, it was determined that the
City would save in excess of $10,000 per year be-
cause the Hazardous Materials Coordinator would
receive a lesser rate of pay than does a Battalion
Chief, and the position would be filled with a
civilian who would not receive safety benefits
which cost more than the benefits given to civilian
employees.
The Personnel Committee has reviewed the merits of
this change, and, based on that review, recommends
that this report be accepted and that the current
position of Battalion Chief in the Fire Department
be reclassified to Hazardous Materials Coordinator.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, Personnel Com-
mittee Report No. 5-87 was accepted and recommendations implemen-
ted.
Councilmember Ratty, Chairman of the Urban Development
Committee, read Urban Development Committee Report No. 9-87, re-
garding Pole Line License Agreement with Shell California Pro-
duction, Inc., as follows:
On February 25, 1987, the City Council referred
back to the Urban Development Committee the re-
quest of Shell California Production, Inc., to
construct a pole line along China Grade Loop
and across the Kern River. This request was
referred to the Committee for the adoption of
a clause to require undergrounding later.
This Committee has met and recommends that the
Agreement include a statement that the City may
require applicant to place the line underground at
their expense to the satisfaction of the City.
Therefore, this Committee recommends that the City
Council approve the Agreement with Shell as amend-
ed.
Upon Mayor Payne's statement that a motion was made,
Urban Development Committee Report No. 9-87 was accepted and rec-
ommendations implemented.
Bakersfield, California, March 25, 1987 - Page 8
Councilmember Smith read Urban Development Committee
Report No. 10-87 re§ardin~ ReQuest for Lease of City-owned Property, as follows:
On March 2, 1987, correspondence was received from
Mr. Carl R. Crabb, Jr., requesting consideration of
his proposal to lease City-owned property for the
development of a full-sized golf driving range.
The referenced property is that + 15 acres of land
south of Highway 58 and east of Mt. Vernon Avenue,
which was part of the sewer farm facilities and the
site of the former treatment plant. The item was
referred to the Urban Development Committee at the
regularly scheduled City Council meeting of March
11, 1987.
This Committee reviewed the proposal with City
staff and a representative of the developer to
determine the feasibility and appropriateness of
such an action.
The request raised many questions regarding ulti-
mate liability for accidents, consistency with City
objectives of using such land for job creation,
term of the lease and subsequent inability to deve-
lop the property during that time, impact on the
Regional Occupational Program facility immediately
to the south, etc.
The Committee recognized that the land currently is
not utilized and that the provision of a driving
range would add to the recreational opportunities
in the area, however, it was determined that this
particular site is too valuable, when considering
its potential for attracting industry and creating
jobs, to be restricted in its development by a lease
agreement. Leasing the land at this time would be
inconsistent with the City's priority for economic
development and intention to use this land for
industrial development.
Therefore, based on these considerations, this
Committee recommends that the City Council notify
the developer that the City will not consider the
leasing of the referenced property for recreational
activities at this time.
Committee
mented.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Smith, Urban Development
Report No. 10-87 was accepted and recommendations imple-
Councilmember Childs read a Council Ward Boundary Ad Hoc
Committee Report, regarding ward boundaries, as follows:
The Council Ward Boundary Ad Hoc Committee has met
with staff to review the proposed addition of
annexations to Council Ward Boundaries. In re-
sponse to questions raised by committee members,
staff reviewed the population estimates and found
discrepancies in the figures submitted to the
Council March 11, 1987. Correcting these lowered
the population of Ward No. 6 (Dickerson) to within
legal limits. The discrepancies were as follows:
1. Some precincts were inadvertently listed in two
wards in prior years.
County election office records (precinct boun-
daries and voter registration indexes) are up-
dated independently of City records. Discre-
pancies have been corrected using latest data.
Bakersfield, California, March 25, 1987 - Page 9
The Ad Hoc Committee finds the new reviewed figures
and the proposed amended ward boundaries consistent
with Government Code Section 57301 and Urban
Development Committee Report 10-85. The committee
at this time recommends the ward boundaries be
changed only to reflect the addition of annexations
and accordingly recommends adoption of the ordi-
nance.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, the Council Ward
Boundary Ad Hoc Committee Report was accepted and recommendations
implemented.
