MEMORANDUM
October 8, 1993
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL y~/]/f
FROM' ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. We had a meeting with the County, NOR and Bear Mountain Parks and Rec.
District this week. It seems, at least at the staff level, that they are
very sincere about moving forward with a community service district, which
would be broken into two parts. The first part would be funding for the
Kern River Parkway and, possibly, for major facilities such as the baseball
stadium. Second, in the areas outside of the City, would be for recreation
money. They would go to an advisory election. They, in essence, were
asking us if we wished to become a participant, with the second part for us
being our parks maintenance/parks equity money, as has been discussed by
the Council. This seems, overall, entirely consistent with City Council's
instruction to pursue this question, except that the vehicle would be a
CSA, rather than the landscape and lighting district. A letter is to be
sent to us in the near future.
2. A report on the 18th and Eye Parking Structure is enclosed. It is
"breaking even" for the first time.
3. Enclosed, you will also find a copy of the Marketing Report on the Airpark.
4. We have received from the State Department of Finance, the precise amount
of the State's "take" from redevelopment monies for the Cou'nty Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund. The payment of $74,873.41 must be made no later
than May 10, 1994. This is lower than the amount which was budgeted for
the "take".
5. I have been advised that the meeting which took place between the
John Q. Hammons' contractor, McDevitt & Street, and the local Labor
Council, was positive. I have been advised that the Labor Council group,
with the various trades, were invited to submit bids to see if the pricing
could be competitive with the amounts already received. I got an
optimistic report from the Labor Council. It will not have definitive
conclusion, however, until later in the process. Even without this
process, I have been advised that 45% of the work would be done by union
trades anyway.
6. The DDA negotiating work with the Hammons firm is going extremely well. I
do not see it as being a hindrance, at all, relative to the Hotel process.
7. I got a nice note from Joe Drew, a copy of which is enclosed.

8. Jake Wager did the Hotel "show" before a group which included invitations
to all United Way agencies. Of the 44 invited, only four showed up and
only one expressed concern.
9. Responses to Council Referrals are enclosed regarding the Clinton
Administration "Crime Package," a Photoradar (or Photo Cop), the location
of Police cars, and weed abatement at railroad crossings.
10. Councilmembers have asked for the fire truck in the Christmas parade. Some
members have indicated they will have their own individual rides, but I
wanted to let you know that we will, of course, accommodate this request of
Councilmembers relative to the fire truck.
11. There is a memo enclosed which will serve as background for you on a labor
issue involving stage hands at the Convention Center.
12. You will find enclosed a copy of a letter sent to those groups that had
written expressing concern about the catering exclusivity. Also enclosed,
for your information, is a copy of the ten year list of Convention Center
catered events.
I have a sense that, at least as of this writing, some of the wind is out
of the sail of the opposition groups on the Hotel. We will continue to do
our presentation wherever we get the opportunity.
13. The Kern County City Manager's group met with the County CAO on the tax
split proposal this week. The unanimous feedback to the County was that we
need to deal with service duplication issues, both from a practical and
planning perspective. It is the intent of the group to submit a counter-
proposal along that line, rather than simply dealing with a new division of
taxes.

MEMORANDUM
October 1, 1993
TO: Jake WaKer, Econon~c Development Director
FROM: aumce-Randall, Bhsiness Manager
SUBJECT: 18th and Eye Parking Structure
Attached to this memorandum you will find an analysis for the parking structure
showing cost vs. revenue for FY 1992-93. As you know, staff recently made two
major changes in the operating of the structure and we are now moving towards
turning an operating deficit into an operating gain. First, in November 1992
monthly parking rates were restructured from a sliding scale to a flat rate which
increased parking revenue. Second, in January 1993 the contract with Five Star
was renegotiated at a substantial reduction in cost. The contract with Five Star
was again revised in February 1993 which further reduced operating costs by
reducing the management services for 88 spaces as allowed in the contract.
After having the above changes in place for approximately one bale of last fiscal
year, our analysis indicates that operating expenditures have exceeded parking
revenue by only $4,000. In prior years, operational expenditures, excluding
debt service, have always exceeded revenue by as much as $45,000. In FY 91-92
the operating cost exceeded revenues by $34,000. FY 92-93 was the first fiscal
year in which revenues have come close to expenditures. This represents a
revenue expenditure swing of $30,000. Based on the first seven months in 1993,
I would anticipate that revenue in FY 93-94 will finally exceed operational
expenditures for the first time since the structure opened in 1984, barring
unforeseen circumstances.

TO' ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER /y~ /
FROM: JOHN W. STINSON~,(~AAS~ISTANT ' ER
SUBJECT: CONVENTION CENTER STAGEHANDS
Issue:
Should the City utilize a separate payroll service and enter into a labor
agreement with temporary employees who are employed as stagehands at the
Convention Center?
Recommendation:
The City should continue its current practice of employing' Stagehands as
Temporary Employees of the City and should not begin the practice of bargaining
with Temporary Employees. Staff should recommend to the City Council that the
salary for Stagehand and Wardrobe employees be increased to $10.00 and $8.50
respectively. Additional temporary classifications for Riggers and Technicians
should also be reviewed by the Human Resources Division to evaluate adding those
classifications by the City Council.
Background:
The issue of the status of Stagehands as employees has been discussed as far back
as 1977. There has been some confusion over the years as to their relationship
to the City. It has been argued at various times that they are employees of the
promoter, independent contractors, and most recently Temporary City employees.
From the period of 1982 to 1989 the City treated stagehands as independent
contractors and they were paid directly from the Casual Services trust account.
They were not receiving worker's compensation or any other benefits and were not
on the City payroll. The Convention Center Manager, agreed to employ union
referred (IATSE) workers as stagehands, provided the union would provide
competent personnel at a given rate of pay. The last such agreement was signed
May 27, 1993 and was to be in effect until December 1992.
A significant change occurred in 1990. Due to aworker's unemployment insurance
claim the State Employment Development Department (EDD) conducted an audit and
made a determination that the Stagehands were not independent contractors but
were in fact employees of the City. They made that determination based on the
fact that these employees are directed by the City, they use City equipment, and
we call in workers and determine the time and manner of their work.
As a result of this audit the City changed its practice for hiring Stagehands and
began hiring them as Temporary Employees of the City in August of 1990. At that
time the City Council set the wage for Stagehands as part of the Temporary
Employee Salary Schedule. The employment ~f stagehands is now consistent with
the hiring of other temporary City employees. They receive workers compensation,
unemployment insurance and are maintained on the City payroll. They follow the
normal city employment process.
With the expiration of the agreement to employ union referred help in December
1992, the Union verbally requested that the City enter into a lengthy formal
labor contract. Staff met with union representatives on several occasions to
listen to their concerns. Their primary concerns related to the level of wages
and making the employment/payroll process more flexible. The union expressed
interest in using a payroll service to hire employees and act as the employer in
order to return to the former arrangement where the union referred employees to
the convention center as an independent contractor.
City staff had a number of concerns regarding their proposal. First, does the
City desire to bargain with temporary employees? There is no precedent for
collective bargaining with temporary employees of the City of Bakersfield, and
the City would incur significant increased personnel costs should it occur.
Further, there is no legal requirement to bargain with temporary employees
according to an opinion provided by the City Attorney's Office.
Secondly, does the use of an outside employment/payroll services eliminate the
City's role as employer? According to EDD the only way the outside
employment/payroll service would become the employer is if they were to be a
"temporary service employer" or "leasing employer." The company that the union
would work through,"Cast and Crew", would not qualify as either of these, but
would only provide payroll services. The City would remain the Employer.
Finally, regarding the level of wages, staff feels that there is some need to
address an increase. Wages for Stagehands were $9.00 in 1987 and were raised to
$9.25 in 1990. They have not been increased since that time. There is a need,
however, to remain market sensitive to attract events to the Convention Center.
Convention Center staff is recommending an increase to $10.00 for Stagehands
which would average less than 2% per year annual increase in wages since 1987.
The Convention Center staff is also recommending a classification for "Rigging"
and "Lead Technician". These should be reviewed by the Human Resources Division
to determine the necessity of these classifications and appropriate titles for
the duties required.
There will likely be displeasure from the union regarding the recommendations
above. Implementation of the recommendation may result in some job action or
other negative reaction. We currently have no indication of how they will react.
We may be able to offer them a letter which says we will request stagehand
referrals from the union as we have in the past and which indicates staff's
recommendation to the City Council to increase Stagehand and Wardrobe wages to
the levels mentioned above.
Please let me know how you would like me to proceed with this matter.

TO: JO~IN STINSON - ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER A~a,~/~m! ~
FROM: GREG CRONK - CONVENTION CENTER SUPERINTENDENT ~
SUBJECT: STAGEHANDS
In order to give you some sense of what our position is regarding
stagehands, following are some thoughts. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please call. Hopefully this will help
you in your endeavor to resolve the situation.
1) During discussions over the past several months regarding
stagehands and their status as either temporary City employees or
individuals to be employed through a separate "agency", I believe
that we can work with either scenario.
2) When a document is submitted to an agency, I feel special
consideration needs to be given, and clearly stated, that the
Convention Center retains authority/direction over stagehands.
Because permittees (promoters) will still look to the Center to
secure stagehands, the capability of giving direction, coordinating
details and ensuring stagehands conduct themselves in an acceptable
manner should rest with the Convention Center.
3) Whatever direction is taken with regard to outside agencies and
stagehands, E. D. D. must first review and verify the City's
position eliminating the City being responsible for workers' comp
and unemployment claims.
4) Recently the Convention Center and Payroll Divisions have made
significant reductions in paper work due to inactive status of all
but nine stagehands. Does this help resolve this issue?

paid within the community. The purpose of a premium for rigging
personnel is due to their additional expertise required for the
position. Similarly, a qualified lead tech would assume additional
responsibility and therefore should be compensated accordingly.
If I may be of further assistance, please contact me at your
earliest convenience.

FROM: MICHAEL G. ALLFORD, DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: CONVENTION CENTER/STAGEF~S
Pursuant to your .recent request for a legal opinion on this'
matter, I have found no case or statutory authority which would
support the proposition the City of Bakersfield is legally
obligated to "bargain" with temporary employees who are not
represented by a Specific bargaining unit. As I indicated in our
earlier telephone conversation, I have spoken with Bill Avery,
labor negotiator for the City of Bakersfield, and he was also
unable to locate any authority which would impose such a duty
upon the City of Bakersfield.
Should you have any further questions or comments regarding
the foregoing, please'do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Trybul:
Recently, you wrote the City regarding the exclusivity clause for catering proposed at the
Bakersfield Convention Center.
We took your comments into account, and we want you to know that we have been
successful in negotiating fifty dates which will be excluded from any catering exclusivity
in the future. We anticipate, as long as you are timely in submitting your requested
activity to the Convention Center, that one of the fifty open dates would be available for
your activity. Lee Andersen, at the Convention Center, will be in a position to provide
you with details relative to When you should apply and other information about that
process, at a later point in time.

September 13. 1993
TO HONORABLE MAYOR PRICE & CITY COUNCIT. MEMBERS
FROM s. 5. ]~~. c~a~= of ~,o]~ ~[~
SUBJECT ~.])EZ~T~ POL[C]~ ~IRIUC SUPPZ.~t~
We have received the application kit from the Federal Bureau of Justice, Assistance
for the Police Miring Supplement Program, recently announced by President Clinton.
As anticipated, this program has numerous requirements and restrictions which must
be considered before we apply, for the grant.
The program provides $75.million over three years for jurisdictio~s with populations
of 150,000 and above. Jurisdictions of 150,000 to 749,999 may apply for a maximum
of $2 million over the life of the grant. Those with populations of 750,000 to
2,000,000 may apply for $3 million; and jurisdictions over 2,'000,000 may apply for
$4 million over the life of the grant. It is anticipated that approximately twenty
to forty grants may be awarded from an estimated three hundred or more eligible
jurisdictions.
The goal of this program is to hire "sworn law enforcement officers" and implement
or expand community policing programs. The grant will only pay for the officer's
salary and fringe benefits and will not pay for overtime, non-sworn support staff,
training, equipment or facilities. Only 50% of an officer's salary and benefits for
the three years will be paid, and the city is required to commit to continue the
program and to fully fund it at the conclusion of the ~hree year grant.
We are aware that numerous problems have arisen in community policing programs when
the programs focus on too narrow an area of the community. Animositymay develop
within a department, and there are some well documented cases of animosity arising
within communities when one segment feels that another segment is receiving a greater
share of police resources.
For these reasons, should we apply for a grant, I recommend we focus on the Lakeview,
Baker Street and Downtown areas initially. I would propose three store-front police
substations, each station to be staffed five days a week with a police service tech-
nician who would be available to handle a variety of problems, freeing the residents
from having to travel to the department's main office. In addition, the Lakeview
substation would be staffed with one senior police officer and five police officers;
Baker Street with one senior police officer and two police officers; and Downtown
with one senior police officer and two police officers. These twelve officers would
provide foot beat service to these areas seven days and six evenings a week. They
would also be actively involved in building code and other permit enforcement, and
would possibly also become involved with the schools in'truancy and curfew enforce-
ment. A close liaison with our crime prevention unit and'the area neighborhood watch
programs would also be implemented. Two senior police officers would also be included
in the grant to work as gang suppression officers. They would work in all three areas
and would concentrate on gang related crimes and graffiti issues. One sergeant would
also be included in the grant and it would be his responsibility to coordinate the
above units and ensure grant compliance. Thes~ designated units would not be respon-
sible for the bulk of the calls for service in these areas and thus would have a
tremendous amount of flexibility in meeting with the.community and responding to
their needs.
HONORABLE MAYOR PRICE &'CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS Sep. 13, 1993
continued . . .
The salaries and benefits paid from this grant for the three year period would total
$1,525,633, which falls within the allowed $2 million l~m~t. It would, however, be
the responsibility of the city to pay the remaining 50% salary and benefits for the
officers, plus overtime, training and equipment; and all costs associated with the
police service technicians and store-front facilities. We estimate city matching
funds necessary to ensure the program for the three years of the grant would be
approximately $2,518,324. The grant also requires that we describe how we intend
to continue the project and retain the positions at the conclusion of the grant
period.
Concerns have been expressed that if the program were to be funded~ additional re-
sources would not be available for future needs caused by annexations; nor for de-
tectives and support staff to cover all areas of the city.
This grant will be restrictive as to our ability to respond to city-wide needs and,
thus, should stand alone and not be considered as part of the overall staffing program
for the department. There is no empirical evidence to indicate that a community
oriented policing program such as this will have any immediate positive effects on
service or crime problems in other parts of the city.
The grant application process will be very involved and will require a considerable
amount of staff time. Without a commitment for the required matching funds, we cannot
apply; and we will limit staff involvement pending direction by the city manager and
council.
Specific application deadlines have been established and consist of three rounds.
Funding will be distributed over the three rounds. Those applicants not selected
in the first two rounds will be reconsidered during the subsequent round(s). It is
anticipated that awards will be made in November and December, 1993. The following
deadlines have been established for each round:
Round 1: Applications received no later than October 14, 1993,
will be considered under Round 1.
Round 2: Applications received no later than November 1, 1993,
will be considered under Round 2.
Round 3: Applications received and/or postmarked no later than December 1, 1993, will be considered under Round 3.

S. E. BRUMMER, CHIEF OF POLICE ~
FROM
RESPONSE TO COUNCIL REFERRAL REGARDING PHOTO COP
SUBJECT
The use of Photo Cop or Photoradar as an enforcement tool for
the police department was researched at the request of
Councllmember DeMond.
A brochure from U.S. Public Technologies Inc. was received
which indicates that the company would provide any law enforcement
agency with a fully equipped police vehicle including a photoradar
unit free of charge. U.S. Public. Technologies Inc. would also
provide a host of related services, including the maintenance of
all equipment, all necessary training, and all processing and
supplies associated with the operation of the equipment at no cost
to the city. .
The method by which the company obtains it's revenue is by
receiving a fee paid by the law enforcement agency for each
citation the violator is required to pay a fine.On. The set cost
or fee an agency must pay is $20 per citation or 80% of the
agency's share of the fine collected if it is less than $20.
With the photoradar system an officer would be required to be
present to monitor the traffic and log the violators. This is
necessary so that the officer could testify in court that the
driver and vehicle in the photograph are, in fact, the same
individual and vehicle the officer observed and logged as violating
the law.
It is believed that the photoradar system could be utilized to
provide an extra piece of evidence in cases where the person cited
wished to contest the Citation. Whether or not the cost, byway of
an additional fee being taken from an already heavily divided
citation fine, is worth the cost is questionable. Currently,
· officers appearing in Traffic Court on speeding tickets written
from radar are not experiencing any difficulties in presenting
their cases. By adding additional evidence (photoradar), the need
to articulate additional information so that the evidence can be
admitted in court Would be required. It is. felt that cases brought
before the Traffic Court are currently being handled fairly and
expediently and that the addition of photoradar is probably not
worth the added expense.

MEMORANDUM
geo,:ember 14. ]993
At the request of Councilmember Pat Smith, an investigation was conducted into the
feasibility of police cars, when not in use, being placed in strategic locations
throughout the city.
A review into the use of all department vehicles disclosed that the only vehicles
which would be available for such a purpose would be the fleet vehicles which are
maintained at the police department. ~here are presently six such vehicles, which
are available for officers who do not have a patrol car (PPV) assigned to them.
These vehicles are also used by patrol officers while their assigned vehicles are
in the shop for service or repair.
One of our concerns relative =o this proposal is the susceptibility of these
vehicles to acts of vandalism. The $.M.A.R.T. trailers which are placed by the police
department along busy streets, have been subjected to vandalism on several occasions,
and we feel that -~-nned patrol cars would be easy targets for those individuals
who engage in this type of activity.
We also question whether the placement of these vehicles in strategic locations would
be their most effective use. There are ~m--y occasions when patrol officers must
have quick access to these vehicles, and this would not be possible if they were
situated ,mm-nned throughout the city where their mere presence as a crime deterrent
is que~tionable. There may be some co~unities where such a program might succeed;
however, when implemented in larger cities, where traffic flows from a specific area,
the effectiveness of such a program is questionable.
For the reasons cited above, ~ do not feel that the placing of police vehicles in
strategic locations would not be feasible a= =his t/me.
