REPORTS
Couuncilmember Salvaggio, Chairman of the Personnel Com-
mittee, read Personnel Committee Report No. 8-87 regarding re-
classification of City Attorney Investigator as follows:
On June 23, 1987, the Personnel Committee met at
the request of representatives of the Association
of Bakersfield Police Officers. Association rep-
resentatives were concerned that the Police Depart-
ment Civil Service Board had approved a new job
classification for the City Attorney Investigator
on May 6. They were also concerned that staff had
referred this reclassification to the Personnel
Committee on June 1 for further consideration.
Association representatives were unaware of this
and felt that this matter should have first been a
subject of the meet-and-confer process since such a
reclassification would impact the police unit.
As a result of this meeting and based upon the
recommendation of this committee in concurrence
with staff, the City and the Union will set up a
meet-and-confer session on this matter. Until
staff and the union have had an opportunity to com-
plete the meet-and-confer process, it is recom-
mended that the Council not approve at this time
the reclassification of the City Attorney Investi-
gator.

mittee Report No. 8-87 was

City Manager Caravalho presented an Oral Report regard-
ing refuse disposal charges proposed by the County as follows:
The County program for disposal of domestic refuse
has been funded entirely by the Genera] Fund. The
China Grade Landfill, which serves most of the
Bakersfield Metropolitan Area, is expected to be
filled to capacity by 1990. The County Public
Works Director is recommending implementation of
gate fees which will amount to $6.00 per ton. The
cost to the City of Bakersfield will be $780,000.00
and the recomendation is to implement this proposal
within 120 days.
Bakersfield, California, July 1, 1987 - Page 7
City Manager Caravalho appeared before the Kern
County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 30,
1987, and presented them with the following con-
cerns:
That the County establish an enterprise fund,
if they do enter into a gate fee program, so
that the monies would be isolated and accounted
separately;
2. That the County have an annual audit;
3. That the County collect the fees and administer
the program rather than private operators;
4. That the cost be bonded and spread over 20 or
30 years so that current users of the dump
don't pay for it;
5. That the fee not be adopted July 1, 1987, as
proposed, but be adopted July, 1, 1988; and,
That the fee be done by parcel and land use
instead of at the gate to discourage dumping
in vacant lots.
The City intends to submit written material indi-
cating the concerns and rationale to the County.
This report is to inform Council of the proposal
as it might have a severe impact on the City bud-
get, which has already been adopted.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Moore, the Council went
on record supporting the City Manager's comments and recommenda-
tions in the City Manager Report regarding Refuse Disposal Charges
proposed by the County.
