of Non-Profit
Residents'
The referral of establishment of a Non-Profit Foundation
to the Urban Development Committee was deferred from the Council
Meeting of June 26, 1985, in order to allow time for Councilman
Moore to provide additional information to the Council.
Councilman Moore made a motion to consider establishment
of a non-profit foundation and ask that staff, working with the
Urban Development Committee, refine, recommend procedures and
by-laws, and report back to the Council not later than August 28,
1985.
Councilman Dickerson stated that some people involved in
the Cunningham Art Museum were concerned that setting up this non-
profit activity may somehow have an affect upon them and the oper-
ation of the museum. He hopes the Urban Development Committee
will consider the non-profit organizations and boards, activities
and processes that are currently ongoing when they consider this
project. If some type of foundation or non-profit corporation is
established, we certainly don't want to leave out a segment of the
community that has contributed a great deal of time and effort
through their service to the community.
Bakersfield, California, July 10, 1985 Page 6
Councilman Moore stated he has assured Ann Brown from
the Cunningham Art Gallery and also wants to assure the Council
and the public that in no way is there any intention that this
would have any impact whatsoever on any other existing foundation
or activity for the City. This is a totally separate entity. He
offered that the committee should have Ann Brown or anyone that
has concerns address the committee, so those concerns will be con-
sidered in the recommendation coming from the committee.
Councilman Christensen questioned where the Pepper Tree
is located.
In answer to a question by Councilman Christensen,
Councilman Moore stated the Pepper Tree was the name given to the
same type of foundation in Rolling Hills, California. This has
been a very effective foundation for them.
Councilman Moore's motion to consider the establishment
of a non-profit foundation and ask that staff, working with the
Urban Development Committee, refine, recommend procedures, and by-
laws, and report back to the Council not later than August 28,
1985, was approved by the following roll call vote:

STUDY SESSION
PARKS AND RECREATION
Community Services Manager Dow stated that during the
1985/1986 budget process, the area of Parks and Recreation was
identified as a major issue by the Budget and Finance Committee in
their report. The committee recommended a task force be created
composed of citizens and Councilmembers to review issues affecting
parks and recreation in the City of Bakersfield and make recommen-
dations to the City Council regarding future park and recreation
activity. He reported on the history and development process of
Parks and Recreation and indicated key concerns at this point are
as follows:
(1)
Recommendations on policy for developing, main-
taining, and funding future parks (this would
include developing standards as to the types,
sizes, number, location, landscaping, facilities,
etc., and how they will be funded, i.e., either by
the general fund, maintenance districts, grants,
fees, and/or a combination thereof).
(2)
Recommendations on policy setting desired level of
service for the recreation division (this would
include an evaluation of the present services, the
addition of new services and programs in the cul-
tural and arts areas, new buildings, and funding.
(3)
Recommendations on implementation of an interim
Parks Element of the General Plan, which should
take into consideration items (1) and (2) above.
(If the Draft Parks Element is adopted on an
interim basis, the changes, if any, arising out of
items (l) and (2) above could be incorporated into
the final approved element).
(4)
Recommendation with regard to the use of private
contractors for maintenance of City parks and
street landscaped areas.
(5) Recommendation with regard to continued use of
maintenance district.
After a lengthy discussion by the Council and Staff,
Councilsnan Moore made a motion to have Staff continue to pursue
and prioritize possible park sites in park deficient wards to
include the methodology for purchase.
In response to a request by Councilman Rockoff,
Councilman Moore changed a portion of the wording of his motion
be "park deficient areas", rather than "park deficient wards"
to
Bakersfield, California, July 23, 1985 - Page 2
Community Services Manager Dow asked for clarification
by the Council on what direction to proceed in regard to forming a
maintenance district, choosing a site, or looking at other alter-
natives and returning to Council.
Councilman Moore stated that his motion would be to con-
tinue to prioritize, pursue, and work with the residents and
anyone who can assist with no delay. If the City is at the point
of forming a maintenance district in the area of Ward 6, then pro-
ceed with that process.
In answer to a question by Councilman Barton, Community
Services Manager Dow stated that a full appraisal of the property
would be made.
Upon a motion by Councilman Moore, staff was directed to
continue to pursue and prioritize possible park sites in park
deficient areas; to include any and all methodologies for purchase
thereof; which is to include all of Community Services Manager
Dow's comments on how he could pursue this; to include establish-
ing the maintenance district; and Mr. Barton's suggestion, of pursu--
ing some mechanism through an option provision to tie up the land,
would also be reviewed and studied by staff and part of staff's
recommendation when they prioritize the sites and methodology for
purchase.
RECESS
Mayor Payne declared a five minute recess at 8:40 P.M.
The meeting reconvened at 8:50 P.M.
BROWN ACT
City Attorney Oberholzer made a presentation on the
Brown Act which is the public meeting law for the State of
California. It governs City Councilmembers except when meeting
with less than a quorum, and governs boards, commissions, and com-
mittees except when meeting with less than a quorum.
The three types of meetings under the Brown Act are reg-
ular meetings, special meetings and emergency meetings. Meetings
do not include social gatherings. An adjourned meeting is the
regular meeting which has been continued and any business can take
place at that time.
A regular meeting is set by ordinance and may be altered
by resolution. Every six or eight months the Council adopts a
resolution setting the meeting schedule. Under the Brown Act,
no agenda is required for a regular meeting. However, Council rules
are that there must be agenda items and they must be on the agenda,
unless it is a matter of emergency. There is a provision for
introducing emergency matters. The Council may adjourn the regu-
lar meeting to a date and time certain to continue the meeting in
progress. The only requirement is that the Clerk will post notice
within 24 hours outside the Chambers as to the time and place the
meeting is being continued.
Special meetings require a 24-hour notice in advance to
both Councilmembers and to those who have filed written requests
be notified. An agenda is required for a special meeting and
Council may only discuss those items on the agenda. Action may
only be taken relating to an agenda item.
to
&n emergency meeting is defined as anything that impairs
public health and safety, and notice is required by telephone one
hour prior to the meeting to all the news ~nedia. If telephone
communication is out of order, then the news media are to be noti-
fied as soon as possible after the meeting. Minutes of an emer-
gency meeting are to be prepared as soon as possible after the
meeting and must be posted for ten days.
Bakersfield, California, July 23, 1985 - Page 3
Closed session may be a part of a regular meeting or a
special meeting; it may not be part of an emergency meeting.
Minutes may be taken, but are not required, and must remain con-
fidential. The areas for which a closed session are held deal
with personnel, potential legal litigation, labor negotiations,
discussions with licensed applicant to discuss criminal records, busi-
ness licenses and real estate negotiations dealing with acquisition
of property.
Polling of other Councilmembers creates a consensus of
the body which is prohibited except at a public meeting. Talking
to less than a quorum is not prohibited.
Only members of the body can commit a criminal act, and
two things are required to commit the act: 1) action must be
taken, all members meet and exchange information on a specific
issue and then vote; and 2) a member must have know]edge, know the
meeting he is in is a violation of the Brown Act. With these
actions, a Councilman could be convicted of a misdemeanor. A pri-
vate individual may poll Councilmembers and not be in violation of
the Brown Act. This is lobbying by the citizen.
There are two kinds of government. The town hall type
is the kind the public has the right to participate in. The City of
Bakersfield has a Representative type of government. The
Representative form of government is currently the only form in
existence in California. Under Representative, the public has the
right to attend and cannot be required to sign a roster. They may
be allowed to bring in tape recorders, as long as they do not
cause a disruption to the meeting. Their tape would not be an
official record of the meeting. Under Representative form of
government, elected representatives are the only ones with the
right to participate and vote, with the exception that persons must
be recognized at legally required public hearings. Other than
public hearings, the public need not be recognized.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
City Attorney Oberho]zer made a presentation on Conflict
of Interest, and stated that no public official at any level of
state or local government shall make, participate in making, or in
any way attempt to use his official position to influence a gov-
ernmental decision in which he knows or has reason to know he has
a financial interest.
The amount allowed for gifts which must be reported, but
would not produce a conflict, is $50.00. If $250.00 were received
by a Councilman during the preceding 12 months, it could possibly
be a conflict.

PRESENTATION
Mayor Payne and Councilman Moore presented Certificates
of Appreciation from the City to members of the First Assembly of
God Church M~ssionettes Club to show the City's appreciation for
their interest in City government.
SCHEDULED PUBLIC STATEMENTS
Mr. Thomas C. Fallgatter, 1430 Truxtun Avenue, Suite
448, representing residents of Castro No. 4 annexation, asked the
City Council to adopt a resolution instructing staff to cooperate
and provide information for the people that live in the Castro 4
area. Their objection is there has not been any cooperation in
general from the City, and in particular certain individuals,
regarding inforlnation concerning the annexation. The information
requested concerned merits and demerits of the annexation, and
what the process is and what citizens can do if they are opposed
to it.
Mr. Fallgatter was advised by Mayor Payne that the City
council does not take action at a Council meeting on all issue
unless it is presented as an emergency matter. Matters presented
during public statements will either be referred to City staff or
to a Council committee for their further action or recommendation.
All public statements are limited to three minutes per person,
unless the Council determines that the matter will warrant contin-
ued discussion.
Mr. Fallgatter further stated residents were given dif-
ferent petition forms by the City Attorney's office. They col-
lected 800 signatures and have been told that all or some of those
signatures are totally invalid, even though they had been using
forms that had been approved by the City. Secondly, they col-
lected 800 signatures and were told by the City that none of the
signatures would be any good because they were premature under the
rules to protest an annexation. They also asked to have copies of
the cards that were sent out for the survey and were told they
could have the cards.
Upon a motion by Councilman Childs, Mr. Fallgatter was
allowed an additional three minutes.
Mr. Fallgarter presented two forms of petitions to be
submitted to the City Attorney's office.
City Manager Caravalho advised Mr. Fallgatter that he
would allow a third party to verify the percentages on those
cards, however, they could not be made public because of remarks
written on the cards by citizens. He was not aware that the City
Attorney's office had given misinformation.
Upon a motion by Councilman Childs, the matter was
referred to staff and Mr. Fallgatter was given an additional one
minute.
Bakersfield, California, July 24, 1985 - Page 2
Councilman Dickerson made a motion to have the City
files open to any citizen that wants to have information relative
to this City and how it makes decisions, unless it affects
national security.
City Attorney Oberholzer responded that there are spe-
cific provisions in the State law with respect to access to public
information, and that law is enforced in the City.
Councilman Dickerson felt that since the survey was
taken by postcards and not confidential envelopes that the informa--
tion should be made public.
City Attorney Oberholzer advised that California
Government Code Section 6254, Public Records Act, was the code
section that was followed. He also advised that no petitions had
been received by the City Attorney's office. The City Clerk
advised that no petitions have been received by the City Clerk's
office, however, written forms were received.
Councilman Rockoff agreed the people should receive the
tabulation but the public should not be able to review the cards.
Upon a motion by Councilman Ratty, the debate was con-
verted to questions.
Councilman Dickerson was asked to restate his substitute
motion. He stated the motion was that the City allow representa-
tives of this particular annexation and/or the community at large
to review the information in the City files relative to surveys or
any other information relative to the annexation or annexation
process of this annexation or any other.
City Attorney Oberholzer felt the motion was misstated.
He stated the original motion called for all City records be open
to the public except those affecting national security.
Councilman Dickerson's motion to have the City files
open to any citizen that wants to have information relative to
this City and how it makes decisions, unless it affects national
security, was defeated.
Mr. Fallgarter stated his clients were now willing to
drop their request for the cards.
City Manager Caravalho offered his
office's assistance in any questions from Mr.
community.

COUNCIL STATEMENTS
Councilman Barton stated the Urban Development Committee
had a meeting with the Downtown Business Association regarding
their 1985-86 budget. Because the budget of the DBA starts on
July 1, they are getting into a cash flow situation, and the
budget will not be available to the Council until the August 14th
meeting. Councilman Barton requested an advancement of the first
quarter of the 1985-86 funds to the DID budget to the DBA.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, an advancement of
the first quarter of the 1985-86 funds to the D.I.D. budget to the

Councilman Moore read into the record a letter from
Golden Empire Glenners, a new, non-profit, volunteer organization
that is dedicated to alleviating hunger in Kern County by picking
up food left in the fields after harvest and discarded from gro-
cery stores.
Councilman Childs stated that a developer in Ward 1 was
helping to estalish a child care center in that ward, but due to
cutbacks, looked like it would not be built. However, a redevel-
opment project, Westminster Ceramics Factory, has shown an
interest, so it may still be developed.
Councilman Childs stated the Joseph Victori Wine and
Bottling Company has been living up to their commitments and has
put a fence half way around their property to separate the yard
from the residences.
Counci]man Dickerson advised he has been trying to
resolve a problem of a telephone pole in the second northbound
lane of Wible Road. PacTel is intending to move it around
October 31, 1985, however, he would like it removed as soon as
possible due to the City's liability if an accident occurs.
Councilman Dickerson made a motion for the Council to
send a letter to PacTel requesting the telephone pole on Wible
Road be removed immediately. The motion was unanimously approved.
Councilman Ratty discussed the Council's non-compliance
with its own rules at tonight's meeting with respect to Castro 4
annexation. He stated he feels the City's staff is one of the
best staffs as far as courtesy and kindness and he does not
believe the statements that were made.
Mayor Payne stated he, the City Clerk's office, the City
Manager's office, and City Manager Caravalho's staff, have recom-
mendations relative to the Council committee reports and how they
are numbered, and ward designation on the agenda. This requires a
meeting between Councilmen Rockoff, Dickerson and Mayor Payne.
Mayor Payne suggested one Councilman accept the position as chair-
man of the Ad Hoc Committee on Rules and Procedures.
Upon a motion by Councilman Dickerson, Mayor Payne was
designated chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on Rules and
Procedures, and it was designated that a meeting be held.
REPORTS
Councilman Barton read Report No.
Development Committee regarding annexation
follows:
9-85 of the Urban
in the northwest as
Honorable Mayor and members of the City Council,
the subject matter is the annexation of the
northwest. At a Council meeting of July 5, 1985,
correspondence was received from property owners
requesting annexation of their property to the
City of Bakersfield. Other property owners in
this same area have contacted the City Manager and
the Public Works Manager, expressing a strong
interest in annexation to the City. These matters
were referred to the Urban Development Committee.
The Urban Development Committee met with staff on
July 12, 1985 to consider the requests and other
relevant information. Property owners interested
in annexation included Suniand Refining Corporation,
Laborde Community Development Company, Tenneco,
Cornerstone Engineering and others.
Bakersfield, California July 24, 1985 Page 5
The key to development in this area is sewer
service. The original westside sewer study
indicated two alternatives, one alternative is to
tie into our existing plant No. 3. The second
alternative is to construct a new plant. The
County is presently evaluating the possible
formation of a community service district to serve
this area. They must consider the siting of a
treatment plant, a process which would take several
years.
The Public Works Department has evaluated methods
for providing sewer service for this area and pro-
posed the following as a workable plan:
Laborde Community Development to pay for
the initial cost of a temporary tie-in at
Buena Vista and District Boulevard at a
cost of $4.2 million.
In the future this area will need to form
an assessment district to pay for future
line expansion and reimbursement to Mr. Laborde.
The outfall line from plant No. 3 to an area
near I-5 should be oversized for approximately
$800,000. This recommendation is made even if
these annexations are not approved in order to
accommodate future growth.
After consideration of the information, this Committee
makes the following recommendations:
Initiate the anenxation process for the
Laborde and Suniand areas.
Authorize staff to prepare an agreement with
Laborde for construction of the sewer ~nain
trunk line.
Authorize expenditure up to $800,000 avail-
able from the sewer enterprise fund to expand
the outfall line at plant No. 3 to handle future
growth.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, Urban Development
Committee Report No. 9-85, regarding Annexation in the Northwest,
was accepted, and recommendations to initiate the annexation proc-
ess for the Laborde and Sunland areas; authorize staff to prepare
an agreement with Laborde for construction of the sewer' main trunk
line; and authorize expenditure up to $800,000 available from the
sewer enterprise fund to expand the outfall line at Plant No. 3 to
handle future growth was unanimously approved.
Councilman Barton read Report No. 10-85 of the Urban
Development Committee regarding Annexation and Ward Boundaries as
follows:
The County Elections Clerk has requested that five
recent areas annexed to the City be assigned to
Councilmanic Wards. This matter, as well as the ques-
tion of procedure for assignment of future areas annexed
to the City through Councilman wards, was referred to
this committee for a report and recommendation.
Bakersfield, California, July 24, 1985 Page 6
The five areas annexed are: California No. 5 with four
people; Chester No. 1 with no people; Garnsey 1,393
people; Panama No. 4 25 people; and Rosedale #2 with no
people. A review of the map shows that these annexa-
tions are each contiguous to five different wards.
California No. 5 is adjacent to Ward No. 1, Chester No.
1 is adjacent to ward No. 2, Rosedale No. 2 is adjacent
to Ward No. 4, Garnsey is adjacent to Ward No. 5, and
Panama No. 4 is adjacent to Ward No. 6. Although the
Garnsey annexation included 1,393 people, the fifth ward
was purposely held to a lower population in the recent
reapportionment of wards to accommodate the imminent
annexation of Garnsey. If each of these annexations
were attached to the adjacent wards, resulting popula-
tions would be as follows: Ward 1, 19,806; Ward 2,
21,273; Ward 3, 19,409; Ward 417,610; Ward 5, 20,328;
Ward 6, 20,651; Ward 7, 19,347.
In addition, the committee considered that several more
areas are proposed for annexation which are highly popu-
lated and contiguous to more than one ward. The commit-
tee's feeling is that as soon as areas are annexed to
the City, the residents should be fully franchised as
voting citizens of the City of Bakersfield as soon as
possible. The following procedure should accomplish
this:
Subsequent to the adoption of a resoluton ordering
annexation, the Development Services Department shall
provide population estimates of the area to be annexed,
city wards and map the location of the annexed area with
respect to the City Council wards. If the area to be
annexed is contiguous to only one ward, and if the addi-
tion to that ward of the area to be annexed would not
substantially affect the equal population criteria, then
the annexed area shall be included in the adjacent ward
by ordinance. If the area to be annexed is adjacent to
two or three councilmanic wards, the Council member of
these wards shall confer and recommend to the Council
appropriate boundaries so that the population remains as
near equal as possible among the wards. The Council
shall ultimately determine the boundaries of the wards
by ordinance. If the addition of areas to be annexed
results in jeopardizing the equal population rule, then
all wards shall be re-evaluated within 60 days of
receipt of current population estimates and reappor-
tioned so as to achieve a balance as equal as possible
among the wards.
Recommended actions:
1. Accept the report.
2. Direct staff to prepare an ordinance amending
the Councilmanic wards to include California
No. 5 in Ward No. 1, Chester No. 1 in Ward No.
2, Rosedale No. 2 in Ward No. 4, Garnsey in
Ward No. 5, and Panama No. 4 in Ward No. 6.
3. Adopt the recommended procedure outlined in
this report concerning the future inclusion of
annexed areas into wards.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, Urban Development
Committee Report No. 10-85 regarding Annexation and Ward
Boundaries was accepted.

Upon a motion by Councilman Childs, another minute was
allowed to discuss the above issue.

cedure outlined in Urban Development Committee Report No. 10-85
regarding Annexation and Ward Boundaries was adopted.
City Manager Caravalho read City Manager's Report No.
8-85 regarding Pacific Gas and Electric power outages, as follows:
Electrical failures have plagued the southwe.stern
portion of Bakersfield for more than ten years.
This lengthy history of power outages has provided
Pacific Gas and Electric Company ample time to
remedy the technical deficiencies which are causing
these outages, yet the power failures continue.
During July 1984 through June 1985, nearly 100 outages
have affected the various circuits serving the south-
west. This is an average of one power failure of a
single circuit every three to four days or eight outages
per month. The attached list provided by PG&E (appendix
A) documents the frequency with which these power out-
ages have occurred during the past 12 months.
PG&E's "availability index" gives a more complete
picture of the magnitude of the outages. The avail-
ability index, which gives weight to the length of
outages and number of customers affected, as well as
the number of outages, has a PG~E and industry-wide
standard of .99953. According to PG~E's own data,
service has consistently fallen below this standard
for the past five consective years. The average
annual availabi ity index ratings for southwest
Bakersfield are as follows
Year

9993861 -. 0001439
9986135 -.0009165
*January through June average.
These annual average availability index ratings yield
no evidence that the outage problem is being adequately
addressed. On the contrary, this data indicates a
severe deterioration in electrical service continuity.
The most recent calendar year during which electrical
service exceeded the industry standard was 1980. Since
that time, availability index ratings have steadily de-
clined, with the exception of a major improw~ment in
1984. Data available for the first six months of 1985
show this to be the worst year yet for service con-
tinuity, exceeding even the abysmal record of outages
in 1983. The attached graph (Appendix B) depicts the
extent and pattern of these power failures for the past
five years.
In late 1984, PG&E initiated a system
aimed at solving many of the technical
have caused the power outages.
upgrade project
problems which
Bakersfield, California, July 24, 1985 - Page 8
PG&E predicted substantial improvements in service
continuity in the near-term improvements as a result
of the improvements undertaken as part of this project.
Completion of this phase of the upgrade project was
scheduled for May 1, 1985. Nonethe]ess, in the two and
a half months following completion of the near-term
improvements, the frequency and severity of outages has
continued unabated. The following numbers of failures
of a single circuit have occurred since the scheduled
completion date of the upgrade program:
May 1985 6
June 1985 7
July 1-15, 1985 6
The ramifications of these frequent and often lengthy
power failures for the businesses and residents of the
southwest cannot be overstated. The safety of our re-
sidents is jeoparized when lights, traffic signals,
elevators and medical equipment fail. The comfort and
convenience of affected consumers is a legitimate and
obvious concern. It should be noted that the severity
of power failures increases sharply during the summer
months when air conditioning is considered a necessity.
In addition to the qualitative impact of PG&E's service
provision record, affected consumers also must bear the
burden of a variety of quantitative losses. Electrical
consumers sustain a variety of serious hidden costs for
the frequent power failures for which they are not com-
pensated. These include:
Loss of revenue for businesses which must
close during blackouts.
Shortened life expectancy of electrical ap-
pliances.
Food spoilage, especially in restaurants and
stores.
Lost wages, both by individuals who are re-
leased from work without pay during blackouts
and by employers who must pay employees who
are unable to work without electricity.
Lost computer data which must be reconstruc-
ted.
Meals and accommodations for those unable to
cook or sleep in their own home.
Alternative power sources for those who cannot
financially or physically survive a loss of
power.
In a society which is as dependent upon electricity as
ours is, PG&E's service continuity record in the south-
west is clearly intolerable. The residents of this city
are entitled to reliable electrical service on which
their lifestyles and livelihoods depend. Electrical
consumers in the southwest must not be forced to pay the
many costs of an inadequate service system. PG&E has an
obligation to take whatever actions are necessary to
provide the service which, at a minimum, adheres to the
standard established by PC,&E and the utilities industry.
Bakersfield, California, July 24, 1985 Page 9
Recommendations:
The City Council should adopt a resolution to be
filed with the California Public Utilities Commission
complaining against PG&E for substandard electrical
service provision.
Staff, with the assistance of PG&E, will continue
to monitor power failures in the southwest in order
to insure that the southwest power outage problem
is remedied as expeditiously as possible.
3. Staff wiI] contact state and federal legislators
to inform them of the action taken and solicit
their support.
City Manager Caravalho also stated that in the complaint
it was requested that a hearing be held in Bakersfield by the
Public Utilities Commission and that the work be completed within
six months. If the work is not completed satisfactorily, Pacific
Gas and Electric will be removed as the electrical service pro-
vider.
Councilman Dickerson made a motion to accept recommenda-
tions contained in the City Manager's Report No. 8-85. He also
suggested the City staff help customers file claims against PG&E.
Upon a motion by Councilman Childs, the discussion was
extended another 15 minutes.
Councilman Moore made a substitute motion to accept the
City Manager's Report No. 8-85 and add the following sentence to
the resolution: "The City Council will review the progress of
PG&E and the comments from the PUC on or before the 150th day to
evaluate the six-month completion date."
Upon a motion by Councilman Ratty, the discussion was
continued for an additional fifteen minutes.
Councilman Moore restated his substitute motion to add
to the complaint on Page 3 after the sentence "Wherefore, the
Complainant requests that this Commission order that P(~E immedi-
ately commence a program to upgrade the equipment and facilities
serving southwest Bakersfield and that such order require that
PG&E submit weekly reports to the Commission notifying the
Commission of planned and completed repairs and replacements and
outages occurring during the reporting period, and thal. such
repairs and replacements be completed within the next six months
or, in the alternative, to remove PG&E as the electric service
provider in the City of Bakersfield and seek, allow, permit and
license another electric service company to serve the City of
Bakersfield," a new sentence, "The City Council will review the
progress of PG~E and the comments and recommendations from the PUC
on or before the 150th day to evaluate the six-month completion
date requirement."
City Attorney Oberholzer informed Mayor Payne that the
sentence was inappropriate, as the resolution will be filed with
the PUC, with the complaint attached, and will be submitted to
them for action. The review by the Council in 150 days will have
no effect on what action the PUC takes, as they probably will have
already acted upon the resolution and complaint.
Bakersfield, California, July 24, 1985
Page 10
In answer to a question by City Attorney Oberholzer,
Councilman Moore stated this would not hamper or slow down the
process. The complaint would be filed. His intent was to make
the PUC and PG&E aware of the Council's understanding that the six
month date might not be realistic and the Council would re-
evaluate on or before the 150th day to determine if that date is
still valid, and will advise the PUC of the Council's deter-
mination.
City Attorney Oberholzer stated he had a lot of techni-
cal problems with that because the PUC most likely would have
already acted. He was not sure if the PUC would know how to han-
dle it if the complaint had already been filed and acted upon. He
suggested the Council include the sentence in the resolution
rather than in the complaint or turn the six-month time period
over to the jurisdiction of the PUC and remove the term "it be
completed within six months" and insert the term "be completed
within as expeditious a manner as possible," and let the PUC
determine what that should be.
Councilman Moore's substitute motion to add the sen-
tence, "The City Council will review the progress of PG&E and the
comments and recommendations from the PUC on or before the 150th
day to evaluate the six-month completion date requirement," to the
complaint failed by the following roll call vote:
Ayes: None
Noes: Councilmen

Councilman Dickerson amended his motion to accept recom-
mendations in City Manger's Report No. 8-85, put a period after
"six months" and not offer an alternative to PC&E, but let the PUC
handle this.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, the discussion was
extended for five minutes.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, the discussion was
extended for ten minutes.
Upon a substitute motion by Councilman Dickerson,
Mr. M. L. Moore, Kern District Manager of Pacific Gas and Electric,
was recognized.
Mr. Moore stated he was prepared to make a statement at
this meeting, however, has not been given an opportunity to do so.
He advised PG&E has a project task force on site and will be sub-
mitting a plan within 30 days to the PUC which will have a sched-
ule for completion of the project work. He requested the Council
include in the motion that, subject to approval by the Public
Utilities Commission of the plan as being the most expeditious
plan possible, that that be the end point to consider PG&E's
performance.

COUNCIL STATEMENTS
Councilman Christensen stated three and a half years ago
a group of attorneys volunteered their time to challenge an agree-
ment between the City of Bakersfield and Mr. George Nickel regard-

had illegally traded away the public right of access along the
river in return for a dirt parking lot and piece of downstream
land. Even though Mr. Nickel was the only one to benefit from the
trade, the City spent its money to fight that challenge in court
and lost. The City appealed the decision of the lower courts.
Councilman Christensen made a motion to go into closed
session immediately regarding the issue relative to the memorandum
from the City Attorney's office entitled Kern River Public Access
Committee.

Councilman Rockoff, Chairman of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Report No. 13-85 regarding ambulance rote
increases, as follows:
This committee has met on three different occasions
to discuss the ambulance service and rate increase.
At the committee meeting of July 23, 1985, the two-
local ambulance service providers explained the
reasons for the requested rate increases. Bc, th
providers have to pay large insurance premium
increases and other operating cost increases.
The committee recommends that some increase should
be allowed to cover these costs. The following
recommended rate schedule allows for a five percent
increase rounded off to the nearest fifty cents for
all rates. Also a $19.00 adjustment for the basic
life support and the advanced life support service
is allowed. This amount is considered sufficient
to cover the additional cost of insurance. These
rate increases to go into effect upon adoption of
the resolution.

gency phone system, will improve ambulance response
time. The Committee is to consist of Councilman
Barton and representatives from the Police, Fire,

Councilman Rockoff, Chairman of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Report No. 14-85 regarding request from Kern
Farmers' Market Association, as follows:
On My 22, 1985, Council approved a request by the
Kern Farmers' Market Association to use the City
parking lot on 23rd and "H" Street for its Saturday
Farmers' Market. The request for use of the lot on
Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., or from 4:00
p.m. to 6:30 p.m. was not approved due to a concern
that the Market would interfere with parking
demand. At that time, staff was directed to moni-
tor the utilization of this lot before further con-
sideration was given for the Market during tile
weekday.
After two months of monitoring, it appears that a
Thursday Farmers' market held after work would not
inhibit parking. Recognizing changing parking
demand, however, this committee recommends that
staff be directed to determine the days and times
of the Farmers' Market operation, with the under-
standing that fulfilling parking needs is the
priority.
We further recommend that the City Attorney he
instructed to draw up the necessary agreement which
will provide for supervision, clean up and l~abil-
ity insurance, and that the Mayor be authorized to
execute the contract.
Upon a motion by Councilman Rockoff, Budget and Finance
Report No. 14-85 regarding a request from Kern Farmers' Market
Association was accepted and the recommendations were approved.
Councilman Rockoff, Chairman of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Report No. 15-85 regarding neighborhood commercial
development on Lakeview Avenue, as follows:
The Business Development and Revitalization
Strategy for Census Tract 22 was presented to the
Council on February 8, 1984. The strategy was
developed to provide a vehicle for improving the
availability of neighborhood commercial services in
the area. Part of that strategy involved working
with existing businesses on Lakeview Avenue to
upgrade their business operations and rehabilitate
or reconstruct their buildings. Over the past few
months, staff has been working with an existing
property owner that is operating a business at
415-425 Lakeview Avenue.
Bakersfie]d, California, August 14, 1985 Page 8
Mr. Henry Shipes proposes to construct a new neigh-
borhood commercial facility on vacant land next
to his current business location. The new fsci]ity
will be located on the corner of Lakeview and
Houser. The new facility will contain a convenience
market, ]aundromat and check cashing service.
The proceeds for the project are projected to, come
from the sale of 415-425 Lakeview Avenue, a low
interest loan from the City and the sale of some
equipment by the owner. The above property wi]] be
purchased by the City as approved in report number
32-84 from this committee. The report was approved
by the Council on November 28, 1984, and authorized
the acquisition of two other properties on Lskeview
Avenue. The other two properties have been
acquired and the substandard structures have been
demolished.
Mr. Shipes is requesting that the City provide a
commercial development loan in the amount of
$114,000 for the term of 15 years at an interest
rate of 9%. Conventional loans are at an interest
rate of 15% and would make the project unfeasible.
He is also requesting that the City provide $10,000
in site improvements to further reduce the develop-
ment costs. Mr. Shipes will provide $82,000 of his
own funds to cover such additional costs as inte-
rior furnishings, signs, equipment, working capital
and miscellaneous construction improvements.
When the project is completed it will contain 3680
square feet of retail space. The project will rep-
resent the first new commercial space to be built
in the area as part of the Business Development and
Revitalization Strategy. The project will serve as
an incentive and example of what can occur in the
area through the use of Community Development Block
Grant Funds.
Therefore, we are recommending the following: That
staff prepare an agreement for execution by the
Mayor setting forth the terms and conditions for
the City's participation in Mr. Shipes' project as
outlined in this report.
Upon a motion by Councilman Rockoff, Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 15-85, regarding neighborhood commercial
development on Lakeview Avenue, was accepted and the recommenda-
tions were approved.
Councilman Rockoff, Chairlnan of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Report No. 16-85 regarding amendments to
Agreements Nos. 83-24 and 85-72 between the City of Bakersfield
and Security Pacific National Bank, as follows:
In order to fund loans under the Rental
Rehabilitation Program, it is necessary that we
extend Agreement No. 8324. The interest subsidy
program provides the mechanism to achieve a 50/50
split between public and private funds required
under the program guidelines.
This is an extension of the current agreement that
sets forth the terms and conditions of the City's
participation in Security Pacific's interest sub-
sidy program for below market rate home improvement
loans.
Bakersfield, California, August 14, 1985 - Page 9
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has
requested that the City amend Agreement No. 85-72
to specify the amount of deposit necessary to place
into effect the terms in the agreement. This
agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for
the City's participation in the Bank's direct loan
program.
The program uses CDBG funds to make low interest
home improvement loans that create a revolving loan
pool as the loans are repaid. Staff is proposing
that the amount of $100,000 be used for this pur-
pose. The amount is consistent with all other cit-
ies using the program and is the same amount that
the City uses in similar agreements with Security
Pacific National Bank.
Therefore, it is recommended that subject agree-
ments be amended as referenced in this report.
Upon a motion by Councilman Rockoff, Budget and Finance
Committee Report No. 16-85, regarding amendment to Agreements Nos.
83-24 and 85-72 between the City of Bakersfield and Security
Pacific National Bank, was accepted and the recommendations were
approved.
Councilman Barton, Chairman of the Urban Development
Committee, read Report No. 11-85, regarding Downtown Improvement
District Budget, as follows:
On July 23, 1985, this committee met with represen-
tatives of the Downtown Business Association to
review the Downtown Improvement District (D.I.D.)
budget and to discuss the current method of colle-
cting and disbursing D.I.D. funds. The City
Finance Division collects fees as due. The funds
are disbursed quarterly, based upon a previously
approved budget. Currently, the City does not
charge D.I.D. for collection, accounting or admin-
istrative services.
The Downtown Business Association requested Lhat
D.I.D. funds be turned over to them monthly as they
become available so that the D.B.A. can accrue
interest and further requested that more informa-
tion concerning projected and available reveaues be
provided.
The recommendations of this committee are as
follows:
1) Approval of the 1985-86 D.I.D. budget, total
amount disbursed not to exceed revenues collected.
2) Direct the Finance Division to turn over to the
Downtown Business Association all D.I.D. taxes col-
lected each month by the 15th of the following
month.
3) In the future, the Downtown Business
Association is to present to the Council for appro-
val its proposed D.I.D. budget by the month nf May,
based on information provided by the Finance
Department in March.
4) The Finance Director to charge D.I.D. a reason-
able fee for collection, accounting and administra-
tive services.
5) Instruct the City Attorney to modify the con-
tract allowing for these changes and authorize the
Mayor to execute the contract.

Committee Report No. 11-85 regarding Downtown Improvement District
Budget, was accepted and the recommendations were approved.
Councilman Barton, Chairman of the Urban Development
Co~nmittee, read Report No. 12-85, regarding Lease of City-Owned
Building at 2014 "L" Street, as follows:
On July 26, 1985, this committee met with staff to
discuss the possible lease of the building a~ 2014
"L" Street, the former Hyland Blood Bank location.
Interest was expressed, and a proposed lease nego-
tiated, with a group of businessmen who wish to
convert the building to a restaurant which they
will operate.
The building in question is a single-story struc-
ture with a partial basement. The main floor pro-
vides approximately 3,000 square feet of useable
space. The building appears to be sound, an(] the
heating/air conditioning system is relatively new.
There is some evidence of minor roof leaks, however
these should be easily repaired.
The lease terms negotiated include:
1) A two (2) year term of the lease.
2) $900 per month rental payment.
3) Lessee pays all maintenance costs after roof
repaired and air conditioning/heating units are
made operable.
4) Lessee pays all taxes.
5) Lessee shall maintain adequate liability and
fire insurance coverage and the City shall be an
additional insured on the policy.
6) The City shall provide eight (8) reserved park-
ing spaces in the adjacent City parking lot to meet
zoning requirements.
Therefore, since this building has been sitting
vacant for many years without generating any taxes
or other revenue, and since it is the desire of the
City to encourage new business, particularly in the
downtown, it is the recommendation of this commit-
tee that the lease be executed to allow the tenant
to initiate their renovation activity so thai: the
business can be operating as soon as possible.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, Urban Development
Committee Report No. 12-85 regarding Lease of City-Owned Building
at 2014 "L" Street, was accepted and the recommendations were
approved.
Councilman Moore, Urban Development Committee, read
Report No. 13-85 regarding lease of office space and operation of
the fueling serve at the Bakersfield Airpark, as follows:
On July 26, 1985, this Committee met to review the
lease between the City and C & B Flying Service,
located at the Bakersfield Airpark. This ]ease was
referred to Committee at the City Council meeting
on July 24, 1985 for review.
Bakersfield, California, August 14, 1985 - Page 11 ~{i
It was determined, after careful review and discus-
sion with staff, that the lease, as presented, was
fair and equitable to both C & B Flying Service and
the City of Bakersfield. C & B will lease office
space and operate the fueling service at the
Airpark for a two year period, paying a rental on
the building and a flow fee on each gallon of fuel
sold.
It is, therefore, the recommendation of this
Committee that the lease be executed between the
City of Bakersfield and C & B Flying Service.
Upon a motion by Councilman Moore, of the Urban Development
Committee Report No. 13-85 regarding Lease of Office Space and
Operation of the Fueling Service at the Bakersfield Airpark, was
accepted and the recommendations were approved.
Councilman Barton, Chairman of the Urban Development
Committee, read Report No. 14-85, regarding Rental Agreements for
Hangars and Tie-Down Spaces at the Bakersfield Airpark, as follows:
This Committee met with staff on July 26, 1985, and
discussed the format and basic content of the ren-
tal agreement that must be executed between the
City of Bakersfield and each aircraft owner at the
Airpark.
It was determined that a month-to-month simplified
format would be used requiring certain basic infor-
mation on regulations on the use of the space and
the aircraft owner's responsibility. It was also
determined that a designated staff person should be
responsible for the execution of each ]ease or
agreement.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of this
Committee that other standardized Tie-Down and
Hangar Rental Agreements be approved and the staff
be instructed to execute the appropriate document
with each aircraft owner at the Airpark.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, Urban Development
Committee Report No. 14-85 regarding Rental Agreements for Hangars
and Tie-Down Spaces at the Bakersfield Airpark, was accepted and
the recommendations were approved.
Councilman Moore, of the Urban Development Committee,
read Report No. 15-85, regarding Formation of a Non-Profit
Foundation, as follows:
On August 6, 1985, the Committee met to discuss the
formation of a non-profit foundation for the pur-
pose of improving communications with citizens and
providing a vehicle for accepting gifts to the
City.
Some communities have used foundations to publish
and cireulate newsletters, and to maintain cummuni-
eation between the City and its residents. The
foundation could provide the funding for such an
operation through donations.
The foundation could also be used to encourage cit-
izens to make tax-exempt donations to their City.
One method which could be used to develop a gift
catalogue suggesting a wide selection of items could
be donated.
~'- · Bakersfield, California, August 14, 1985 - Page 12
It is recommended that the members of the proposed
foundation consist of the seven Councilmembers. In
addition, the foundation should have five direc-
tors: the Mayor, the President of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Chairman of the Planning Commission,
the Chairman of the Citizens Auditorium Committee
and the Chairman of the Beautification Committee.
The Committee suggests that the name of the founda-
tion be "The Clocktower Foundation."
This Committee recommends Council approval of the
formation of this foundation and direct staff to
proceed with the preparation of bylaws, processing
of applications and other action necessary to
proceed with the formation of the foundation.
Upon a motion by Councilman Moore, Urban Dew~lopment
Committee Report No. 15-85, regarding Formation of a Non-Profit
Foundation, was accepted and the recommendations were approved.

Upon a motion by Councilman Ratty, staff was directed to
establish a crossing guard at Laurelglen School from the opening
of school until such time that either the warrants or the new
investigation say that it is needed, or if they are not needed,
that the guard stays there until such time as the district can be
formed.
Councilman Ratty made a motion that in the event that
the warrants are not met and the district fails, that the guard
will be withdrawn from the intersection unless some other means of
financing comes from the school district or some other financing
other than the City; and that the school district and
Parent/Teachers Association of Laurelglen communicate this under-
standing back to the City. This motion was approved, with
Councilman Dickerson voting no.

crossing guard should not be withdrawn once it is in place.
Councilman Dickerson requested copies of the Legislative
Bulletin from the League of California Cities and other legisla-
tive materials which might affect the City.
REPORTS
Councilman Childs read Report No. 3-85 from the
Legislative Committee regarding Legislative Recommendations,
follows:
as
The Legislative Committee recently met to discuss
five issues which were referred to us by the City
Council.
Senate Bill 976 was originally submitted to the
City Council by the local Metal Salvage Vehicle
Dismantlers and Towing/Storage Operators. This
bill would exclude solid waste which results from
the shredding of automobile bodies, household
appliances and sheet metal from the hazardous
waste category. This bill passed the State Senate
by 38 to 0 vote and is now in the State Assembly.
We are in agreement with the bill and would recom-
mend Council support.
Assembly Constitutional Amendment 32 was referred
to us by Tom McClintock, Assemblyman of the 36th
District. Mr. McClintock is requesting support of
this constitutional amendment which would prohibit
public employee strikes. We have been in contact
with the League of California Cities, and they have
not taken a stand on this amendment at this time in
that they feel it would have a negative effect on
proposed bills in regards to binding arbitration.
This committee is in support of the League's posi-
tion and would recommend no Council action at this
time.
Senate Bill 719 would require all trains that oper-
ate over a distance of one mile to have a caboose
attached to the rear car. The Legislative
Committee, in following past Council precedence, is
recommending no action on this bill in that it has
little, if any, effect on the City of Bakersfield.
Senate Bill 300 (Foran) would establish addifional
revenues for local street and road funding. The
bill allocates $125 million from funds generated
through the State's share of the Federal Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act revenue. These funds
would be distributed to cities and counties for
Bakersfield, California, August 28, 1985 - Page 4
street and road maintenance. As the bill appears
now, the current 9C-a-gallon gas tax could be
shifted to a percentage basis if a percentage levy
yields greater revenues than the current level.
This portion of the bill is alarming to the members
of the Legislative Committee in that it could
result in a tax increase. We are, therefore, recom-
mending that the Council oppose this bill in its
present form. We have requested staff to keep us
informed if the bill were to change and that the 9~
levy stay in effect rather than shifting to a per-
centage basis. This committee will continue to
study this bill and make further recommendations to
the Council.
We are, therefore, recommending Council approval on
Senate Bill 976, no action on Assembly
Constitutional Amendment 32, no action on Senate
Bill 719, no action on Assembly Bill 1427, and
opposition to Senate Bill 300 in its present form.
We would further recommend that the City Attorney
draw up the necessary resolutions and forward the
to the State Assembly.
Councilman Childs made a motion to receive and
accept Report No. 3-85 from the Urban Development Committee
and implement the recommendations of the report with the
exception of SB 300.
Councilman Moore made an amended motion to receive
and accept Report No. 3-85 from the Urban Development
Committee regarding Legislative i{ecommendations; implement the
recommendations contained therein; and continue to track
Constitutional Amendment 32. The motion was unanimously
approved.
Assistant City Manager Russell read a memorandum to
the Legislative Committee, dated August 28, 1985, regarding
stat'f report on SB 300, as follows:
On Monday, August 26, 1985, the City Manager's
Office contacted the League of California Cities'
office and was informed that the shift from 9, to a
percentage basis has been dropped from Senate Bill
300. This bill, in its present form, would not
result in a tax increase and would mean approxi-
mately $1 million over the next two years for
streets and road maintenance for the City of
Bakersfield.
Presently, there are $4.4 million of street mainte-
nance projects needed in the City of Bakersfield
over the next two years. Since we only have $1.8
millioa available for street maintenance projects,
the staff is recommending Council approval of SB 300.
For the Counci]'s information, the staff also con-
tacted the City of Bellflower who originally
requested a resolution by the City of Bakersfield
opposing SB 300. The Mayor's Office of Bellflower
informed us this week that the request was in
error. They have apologized and are issuing their
regrets, and Bellf]ower's Council is now in favor
of SB 300.
Councilman Childs made a motion to support Senate Bill
300 in lieu of the additional information provided by the staff
report. This motion was approved, with Councilman Dickerson
abstaining.
Bakersfield, California, August 28, 1985 Page 5
City Manager Caravalho reported on the progress of the
Joint Powers Agreement with the County of Kern, and stated that
the agreement was reached on August 26, 1985 and presented to the
Board on August 27, 1985.
Fire Chief Needham gave a historical overview of the
Joint Powers Agreement and stated that one area of major contro-
versy is the total fire protection aspect.
Councilman Childs made a motion to delay any action on
the Joint Powers Agreement for the next couple of days and call a
special meeting with those issues addressed and then make a deci-
sion.

Dewey Sceales:
As per my discussion of 7-30-85 with Councilman Art
Rockoff and Planner Jack Hardisty, I propose to include
as additional conditions of approval of the amendment to
the General Plan Amendment as follows:
1. Upon development of any units on Co]lege Avenue, I
agree to pave approximately 320 lineal feet of asphalt
for 4 lanes of Fairfax in Tract 4744. Additionally, I
will install concrete curb and gutter on the east side
of Fairfax in an amount equal to the paving requirement.
2. For any development of less than 1/3 of the overall
development which occurs in Tract 4741 but does not
require access from College Avenue, I wi]] pave 2 lanes
of Fairfax Avenue to complete access from College north
to Hwy. 178. Any development of over one third of this
northern end of Tract 4741 will require 4 lanes of
Fairfax to be paved as in condition number 1 above.
3. I agree to pay $25,000.00 towards development of the
intersection of Hwy. 178 and Fairfax Road. These funds
will be paid at the time of award of contrac~ for impro-
Bakersifeld, California, August 28, 1985 - Page 13
vements or issuance of building permit in Tract 4741 in
excess of 100 units, whichever is first. The money wi]
be refunded to me if signal or improvement of intersec-
tion is not constructed within 3 years of funding.
4. Improvements to College Avenue will be the same as
conditions previously statd for General Plan Amendment.
5. Full dedication of Fairfax Road right away will be
given.
6. I agree to restrict overall density of area to that
requested in this amendment.
Councilman Rockoff noted, and Mr. Hair concurred, that
in Paragraph 3, the intent was, "that the award of the contract was
for improvements to Highway 178 and Fairfax."
In answer to a question by Councilman Rockoff, Planning
Director Sceales stated that the road going north through the
tract is covered in the map as Exhibit "A" or Revised Plan and
will be labeled and placed in the file.

Parade. This matter was referred to the Auditorium and
Community Services Committee for reveiw and recommenda-
tion back to the Council.
After considerable discussion on this request, we would
recommend that the Mayor send the following letter to
Ms. Cathy Butler, Executive Vice President of the
Downtown Business Association:
Dear Ms. Butler:
On behalf of the Bakersfield City Council, I would like
to thank you for your request to formally invite Johnny
Carson to serve as Grand Marshal in the 1985 Bakersfield
Christmas Parade.
The Council appreciates the opportunity to extend this
invitation. However, since this is a DBA function, we
feel your organization should have this honor. The
Council is aisc requesting that your parade committee
give consideration to bestowing the Grand Marshal honor
on one of many local individuals who have contributed so
much to our great community. In doing so, the true
theme of Christmas--sharing and giving--would be carried
out.
Thank you again, and good luck with the 1985 Christmas
Parade.

After considerable discussion on this request, we would

Der Ms. Butler:
On behalf of the Bakersfield City Council, I would like
to thank you for your request to formally invite Johnny
Carson to serve as Grand Marshal in the 1985 Bakersfield
Christmas Parade.
However, due to previous negative remarks about
Bakersfield by Mr. Carson, we do not feel that he should
be afforded the honor of being Grand Marshal of the
Christmas Parade in the City of Bakersfield. We would
Bakersfield, California, September 11, 1985 - Page 6
further recommend to the Council that in some manner
Mr. Carson be informed of our displeasure in his use of
Bakersfield as the butt of his jokes.
Thank you again, and good luck with the 1985 Christmas
Parade.
Upon a motion by Councilman Childs, Report No. 6-85 from

Councilman Barton, Chairman of the Urban Development
Committee, read Report No. 16-85 regarding Downtown Improvement
District Assessment Classification, as follows:
This committee met on August 27, 1985 to discuss a pro-
test by Lynn Greenlee, owner of Lynn's Inner Dimensions,
over her Downtown Improvement District (DID) classifica-
tion for assessment.
Staff research of the business confirmed that the busi-
ness was listed as an interior decorator; however, the
type of work being done would more appropriately be
classified under draperies. The staff has clarified
this with Mrs. Greenlee, and she appears to 13e satisfied
with the assessment.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, Report No. 16-85
from the Urban Development Committee, regarding Downtown
Improvement District Assessment Classification, was accepted.
Councilman Barton, Chairman of the Urban Development
Committee, read Report No. 17-85, regarding City Wide Cleanup
Program, as follows:
At the Council meeting of August 28, 1985, the matter of
a "City Wide Cleanup Program" was referred to the Urban
Development Committee to consider and make recommenda-
tions back to the Council.
It has been a number of years since the City of
Bakersfield has conducted a "City Wide Cleanup Prograin"
and over that period many residents have accumulated
waste materials, such as discarded appliance:~, scrap
]umber, used furniture, and other "bulky" items that are
not part of the regular collection service provided by
the City. There are also many abandoned vehicles
throughout the City which need to be removed.
Because many of our residents do not have the means of
disposing of these items and their accumulation can gener-
ate a negative impact on the neighborhood and our City,
this committee recommends the authorization of the
Community Services Department to conduct a "City Wide
Cleanup Program." We have met with staff and they have
indrcated such a program could be conducted between
October 7, 1985 and October 25, 1985. The project would
require the transfer of $20,000 from the Council
Contingency Fund to cover the cost of additional over-
time, temporary salaries, equipment and materials costs.
We also met with the San Joaquin Valley Auto dismantlers
Association and the California Tow Truck Association,
who have agreed to coordinate the removal of abandoned
vehicles as part of this program at no cost to the City.
Bakersfield, California, September 11, 1985 - Page 7 ~
It is the recommendation of this committee to authorize
the Community Services Department to conduct a "City
Wide Cleanup Program" beginning October 7, 1985, trans-
fer $20,000 from the Council Contingency Fund to the
Sanitation Division of the Community Services Department
to cover the cost of the project, and that the results
of the program be evaluated by this committee to deter-
mine the value of regular programs in the future.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, Report No. 17-85
from the Urban Development Committee regarding City Wide Cleanup
Program, was accepted and the recommendations, authorizing Community
Services Department to conduct a "City Wide Cleanup Program"
beginning October 7, 1985; transfer $20,000 from the Council
Contingency Fund to the Sanitation Division of the Community Serv-
ices Department to cover the cost of the project; and fhat the
results of the program be evaluated by this committee to determine
the value of regular programs in the future, were approved.

Department of Transportation Development Act funds have been used
to fund transit operations of the County. Golden Empire Transit

REPORTS
The City Clerk read Report No. 4-85 from the Legislative
Committee, regarding Statewide Ballot Initiative Request, as
follows:
At the August 28, 1985 City Council meeting, the
City Council referred a resolution from the City
La Mesa requesting a statewide ballot initiative
for relief of the joint-several liability rule.
This came about as a result of the deep pocket
judgments being rendered ~n California.
of
~3'~ Bakersfield, California, September 25, 1985 - Page 4
As the Council will recall, we have gone on record
in support of SB 75 (Foran Bill). This bill is now
in committee and will be acted on after the first
of the year. The statewide ballot initiative is
very similar to SB 75 and has been approved by the
Attorney General for inclusion on the June 1986
ballot. The next step for this initiative will be
the collection of petition signatures, with actual
qualification for the ballot still several months
away.
The League of California Cities has taken no posi-
tion on this initiative and will wait until it has
actually been placed on the ballot. The
Legislative Committee is of the opinion that the
City Council should take a similar position and not
endorse it until such time that we know exactly
what the wording will be. This is not to say that
we are opposed to the initiative. However, we will
need additional information and make a recommenda-
tion to the Council when it is clarified.
Councilman Dickerson made a motion to adopt Report
No. 4-85 from the Legislative Committee regarding Statewide Ballot
Initiative Request.
Councilman Ratty made a substitute motion to support SB
This motion was approved with Councilmen Childs and Christensen
voting no.
Councilman Rockoff clarified his vote stating that he
did not foresee the bill being approved in the Legislature and
would like for it to be on the ballot.
Councilman Barton, Chairman of
Committee, read Interim Report No. 18-85,
Noise Problem, as follows:
the Urban Development
regarding Hilghway 178
On September 4, 1985, this committee met with resi-
dents who previously addressed the Council regarding
noise problems caused by traffic on Highway 178.
The residences most effected are located between
Oswell Street and Fairfax Road on the south side of
Auburn Street. Many of the homes in this area are
elevated above the freeway which increases the
potential for noise problems.
The Public Works Manager gave background informa-
tion regarding previous noise studies made by the
State Department of Transportation. In 1976 the
State notified residents along the freeways that if
any resident had noise problems generated from the
freeways, the State would work toward resolving the
problems. As a result of their studies, sew~ral
locations were evaluated and one sound wall was
constructed along Freeway 99 between Planz Road and
White Lane. The State's policy is to construct
sound barriers along the Freeway only at locations
where houses existed prior to the freeway construe-
tion. The houses along the south side of Auburn
were constructed after the freeway, therefore they
do not qualify for sound walls to be constructed by
the State. Also when these houses were
constructed, the unform building code, in effect at
the time did not require any special construction
to mitigate the noise from the freeway.
75.
Bakersfield, California, September 25, 1985 - Page 5 ~3 i
The staff also reported that the state has a retro-
fit program for residences effected by freeway
noise but no funds are available at this time. The
State also has a current policy that when a freeway
is widened to provide additional lanes, it is
required that noise problems be mitigated. Since
Highway 178 will eventually be widened in the area
where the noise problem occurs, the staff has been
directed to contact the State regarding freeway
extension and also to discuss the noise problem.
The committee will continue working toward a solu-
tion to the problem.
Upon a motion by Councilman Barton, Report No.
from the Urban Development Committee, regarding Highway
Problem, was received.

178 Noise
Councilman Rockoff, Chairsnan of the Budget and Finance
Committee, read Report No. 17-85, regarding problems with Warner
Cable T.V. in the southwest, as follows:
At the September 11, 1985 City Council meeting, the
Council referred an issue regarding problems with
Warner Cable in the southwest to the Budget and
Finance Committee. We recently met with John
Southard, Manager of Warner Cable, who explained to
us that the problems they are encountering are pri-
marily due to the problems P.G.&E. is having with
their cable in the southwest. Fourteen out of the
nineteen outages in the past month have been traced
to problems with P.G.&E.
Warner Cable has met with P.G.&E. in order to
improve their communications so that they are now
forewarned of the areas P.G.&E. will be working
on. They will place specially-purchased standby
generators in these locations. Warner will also
notify their customers within the area of White
Lane to Truxtun Avenue and Gosford to Stine through
its billings. They have been running ads in the
Bakersfield Californian in order to notify the pub-
lic of the problems that are being encountered.
Through the improved communications with P.G.&E.
and the additional generators, these problems
should be eliminated. We have also asked Mr.
Southard to appear before the City Council meeting
tonight to answer any questions regarding this
issue.
Upon a motion by Councilman Rockoff, Report No. 18-85
from the Budget and Finance Committee, regarding problems with
Warner Cable T.V. in the southwest, was received by the following

Ground Lease with Sand Creek Associates for
the development of Sand Creek Golf Course.
Councilman Moore, Chairman of the Water Resources
Committee, read Report No. 3-85, regarding Ground Lease for
Development of Sand Creek Golf Course, as follows:
For several months, this committee has been meeting with
staff, and staff has been negotiating with Sand Creek
Associates, for a ground lease which would allow the
development of a public golf course between the channel
of the Kern River and Stockdale Highway near Ca]-State
Bakersfield. The result of these negotiations are
embodied in a ground lease now submitted for Council
approval.
The leased premises will be approximately sixty-five
acres, and the developer wi]] construct and maintain a
first-rate public eighteen-hole golf course with related
facilities on this property. During the first seven
years of lease payments, the tenant will pay to the City
a m~nimum rental of TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS
($24,000) per year or two percent (2%) of the gross pro-
fits, whichever is greater. After the first seven years
following commencement of payments, the tenant will then
pay a TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR ($24,000) minimum ren-
tal or five percent (5%) of the gross profits, whichever
is greater. The minimum rental can be increased after
the eighth year of operation, but it can newer go below
TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS ($24,000). The tenant
guarantees a first-rate public facility which will serve
the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
The term of this ]ease is thirty-six (36) years. After
the lease term expires, the project reverts to City
ownership. This term allows the developer a period of
time in which to construct a golf course under a take-
out construction loan and then refinance the project.
Staff, under direction of the Committee, attempted to
obtain a shorter ]ease duration; however, local lenders
assured staff that thirty years was an absolute minimum
acceptable period for a loan on this type of project.
In order to implement this report, this committee reco~n-
mends that the City Council approve and authorize the
Mayor to execute the attached Ground Lease.
Upon a motion by Councilman Moore, Report No.
the Water Resources Committee regarding Ground Lease for
Development of Sand Creek Golf Course, was received.

Councilman Moore made a motion to approve the implemen-

for approval, a provision providing for a bicycle resting point.

oper of the Sand Creek Golf Course, was allowed to answer ques-
tions raised by the Council.
