REPORTS
Councilmember Christensen, Chairman of the Auditorium
and Community Services Committee, read Auditorium and Community
Services Committee Report No. 6-87 regarding Time Extension Re-
quest of California Water Services Company as follows:
On April 22, 1987, the City Council received a
request from California Water Service Company for
an extension of time to complete the required
street improvements on their Pacheco Road property.
This request was referred to the Auditorium and
Community Services Committee for review and
recommendation.
This Committee has met with staff and representa-
tives from California Water Services Company. It
was noted that it will take approximately sixteen
(16) weeks for the utility company to relocate
their facilities from the roadway to allow con-
struction of the improvements.
Therefore, this Committee recommends that the time
of completion for California Water Services Company
to complete the work be extended to November 1,
1987. This will give adequate time for the utili-
ties to be relocated and the improvements con-
structed prior to the winter season.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Christensen,
and Community Services Committee Report No. 6-87 was
recommendations implemented.
Auditorium
accepted and
Councilmember Ratty, Chairman of the Urban Development
Committee, read Urban Development Committee Report No. 15-87
regarding an Ordinance regulating Off-Road Vehicle Use in the Kern
River as follows:
The City Council has referred the matter of draft-
ing an ordinance prohibiting off-road vehicle use
in the Kern River to this committee.
54
Bakersfield, California, June 17, 1987 Page 4
Several issues have been identified and addressed,
however, there are more which remain to be resolved.
We are reporting the following progress. A draft
ordinance has been prepared and an area has been
delineated within which it would be effective. The
area is generally defined by levees and canals so
that physical reference points may be used in the
enforcement of the ordinance by officers. It cov-
ers both public and private lands but would provide
that persons using their vehicles on their own pro-
perty would not be prohibited from doing so. Staff
has been directed to do some further work on this
problem. The Police Department has been asked to
provide a detailed enforcement plan with contin-
gency plans, the City Attorney's office has been
asked to refine the language of the draft ordinance
and the Community Services staff has been asked to
contact the landowners whose property would be
affected by this ordinance prior to its introduc-
tion for hearing.
Upon completion of our work, we recommend that a
public hearing be conducted by the City Council on
the ordinance and environmental document prior to
its adoption to give the private property owners,
the users of off-road vehicles and general public
an opportunity to voice any concerns they may have.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Ratty, Urban Development
Committee Report No. 15-87 was accepted.
Councilmember Salvaggio stated for the record that off-
road vehicle recreation areas will not be allowed within the pri-
mary or secondary flood way of the river. Existing area of off-
road vehicle recreation use shall be phased out and terminated
within two years of adoption of this General Plan Element that was
adopted August 19, 1985, by City Resolution 112-85. He stated he
was pleased to see such progress and he hopes for continued efforts
and proper consideration. Councilme~nber Salvaggio made several
co~nments that he wished to be considered by the Committee.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Councilmember
Salvaggio's comments were transmitted to the Urban Development
Committee for study and recommendation.
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read budget and Finance committee Report No. 20-87
regarding Fiscal Year 1987-88 Operating, Capita] Improvements and
Redevelopment Agency Budgets as follows:
On May 6, 1987, the proposed annual budget for the
City of Bakersfield and Redevelopment Agency was
submitted to the City Council. The Proposed Budget
represents expenditures of $145,344,498, and con-
sists of an Operating Budget of $90,143,597; Capital
Improvements Budget of $53,192,500; and Redevelop-
ment Agency Operating Budget of $2,008,401. The
budget represents all of the City of Bakersfield's
financial responsibilities and provides budget
information by department and fund type. The
budget also includes requests from outside groups
such as the S.P.C.A., Convention Bureau, and the
Bakersfield Symphony.
Bakersfield, California, June 17, 1987 - Page 5
55
This Committee has met with the City Manager and
his department managers to review the Proposed Bud-
get and believes that the level of service repre-
sented will meet the current needs of the citizens
of Bakersfield. The Committee recognizes that the
Proposed Budget reflects current economic condi-
tions and is an essentially hold-the-line budget.
City staff has responded to the elimination of
Federal Revenue Sharing, and lower than anticipated
sales tax revenues by preparing a budget including
only those increases necessary to maintain current
service levels.
This Committee would like to recognize that without
the implementation this past fiscal year of the Fee
and Service Charge Revenue/Cost Comparison System,
the City of Bakersfield would, like many other cit-
ies in this state be facing tough financial times,
and it is likely that the City work force would
have to be reduced by as much as ten percent with
service levels seriously cut. This Budget includes
the second phase of the three year implementation
of the fee program, and has been prepared taking
into consideration all methods of cost containment
without seriously reducing services. This budget
does include some modest fee increases such as the
residential refuse rate which will increase from
$4.50 per month to $6.25 per month. This rate
still compares very favorably to the rate charged
in unincorporated areas of approximately $12.~0
per month for an equivalent level of servi~e. The
very successful rebate program for seniJr citizens
will also be continued and eligible ~eniors will
again receive reduced refuse charges. The Com-
mittee would also like to point out that there
will be no increase in sewer user charges this
year.
As a result of this budget being a hold-the-line
budget, minlmui changes are being recommended. Two
changes were recommended at the budget hearings;
one involving the elimination or reduction of main-
tena,~ce district assessments and the other involv-
i,~g traffic signal projects.
The adjustment to the Maintenance District budget
effects both the operating budget of the Parks
Division and the projected revenue from maintenance
districts assessments. The Parks Division budget
will be adjusted downward by $55,948, due to a
delay in the implementation of certain maintenance
districts. As a result of this action, the revenue
projections must be reduced by the same amount.
The Council also requested the deferral of Project
Number 1704, a new signal at Hughes Lane and Planz
Road totaling $95,000. This project is to be
replaced by Project Number 1767, a new traffic sig-
nal at Hughes Lane and Pacheco Road also totaling
$95,000. This switch will result in no net change
in the budget.
There was also a correction made in the City Clerks
budget. It was recommended that $63,800 be trans-
ferred from the Council Contingency account to the
Clerk's Election account. These funds will cover
the anticipated expenses associated with election
activities in the Clerk's office.
56
Bakersfield, California, June 17, 1987 Page 6
With your approval of the above-mentioned changes,
the recommended budget for fiscal year 1987-88 is
as follows:
City Operating
Capital Improvements
Redevelopment Operating
$ 90,087,649
$ 53,192,500
$ 2,008,401
$145,288,550
This Committee would like to thank the Department
Heads and the City Manager's staff for the effort
they put forth in the preparation of the proposed
budget as well as the assistance provided in arriv-
ing at our recommendations. In conclusion, this
Committee recommends the acceptance and approval of
this report and the adoption of the appropriate
Resolutions and Ordinances implementing the
Operating, Capital Improvements and Redevelopment
Agency Budgets as modified in this report.

Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Budget
Committee, read Budget and Finance committee Report No.
regarding Ambulance Rate Increase as follows:
and Finance
21-87
This Committee has met on several occasions with
representatives of the two local ambulance compa-
nies to discuss their request to increase rates for
ambulance services provided to the citizens of
Bakersfield. During these meetings, the Committee
has reviewed written comments from the public, an
analysis of comparaDle ambulance rates for other
cities, and research by staff of the operating
practices of the two local ambulance providers.
The ambulance providers explained that they have
experienced significant increases in both liability
and workers' compensation insurance since the last
rate adjustment approximately two years ago. They
further pointed out that they have had to increase
their personnel costs significantly to retain
employees with paramedic skills which are being
recruited by fire departments and hospitals from
outside the Bakersfield area.
Based on these reasons, the Committee recommends
that some increase should be allowed to cover these
cost increases. The Committee also recognizes the
continued upward spiral of medical costs and is
interested in controlling the cost of ambulance
care while providing the best level of service and
response for the citizens of Bakersfield. With
this in mind, it is the intent of the Committee
that the proposed charges shall be established for
a period of three years, except for the occurrence
of extraordinary circumstances at which time the
Council, at its discretion, may review them.
Therefore, the Committee recommends the approval of
this report and the adoption of the attached reso-
lution and rate schedule for ambulance services.
The Committee also requests that staff respond to
the correspondence submitted to the Committee
regarding ambulance rates.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 21-87 was accepted.
Councilmember Childs made a motion to implement
Budget and Finance Committee Report No. 21-87.
Councilmember Salvaggio recommended that a handout

Moore,
Councilmember Childs, Chairman of the Budget and
Finance Committee, read Budget and Finance Committee Report
No. 22-87 regarding Downtown Improvement District Budget as
follows:
On June 10, 1987, the annual budget for the
Downtown Improvement District (D.I.D.) for
fiscal year 1987-88 was received by the Com-
mittee. The Proposed Budget totals $50,000.
The major source of revenues is from district
assessments which total $49,000.
The Proposed Budget is $11,700 less than the
currentyear's budget. This is primarily due
to a reduction in the number of retail busi-
nesses operating in the district.
The Committee has reviewed the budget in its
role as Trustee of the D.I.D. funds and recom-
mends that the Proposed Budget be accepted and
approved.
Therefore, the Committee recommends the accep-
tance and approval of this report.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Childs, Budget and
Finance Committee Report No. 22-87 was accepted and recommenda-
tions implemented.
