AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD AMENDING SECTION 5.38.010
OF THE BAKERSFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE RELATIVE TO
THE DEFINITION OF THE TERM "OUTDOOR FESTIVAL".
WHEREAS, a concert is scheduled for a period of four
(4) hours or less on June 10, 1983, at the Mesa Marin Raceway,
which concert falls within the definition of an "outdoor festival"
set forth in Section 5.38.010 of the Bakersfield Municipal code;
and
WHEREAS, at this late date the promoter of the concert
cannot satisfy the permit requirements of Chapter 5.38 of the
Bakersfield Municipal Code due to time constraints built into
such Chapter; and
WHEREAS, forcing cancellation of the concert, for
which tickets have been sold, would not produce any public benefit
and would cause public confusion and the loss of revenue to the
promoter and to the City of Bakersfield; and
WHEREAS, this Council deems inappropriate the application
of Chapter 5.38 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code to concerts
the duration of which is four hours or less and which is held at
an outdoor stadium or arena with fixed seating; and
WHEREAS, in order to protect the public welfare and
property it is necessary to adopt an emergency ordinance re-
defining the scope of application of Chapter 5.38.

City of Bakersfield as follows:
