advised that a resolution would be more appropriate for setting fees because fees
are more contractual rather than law. The Committee asked staff to explore the
following areas: 1) Investigate the feasibility of applying local preference to tow
truck businesses; Determine whether each of the businesses currently on the list
has a City of Bakersfield business license; 2) Develop a sunset clause to review
rate/fee setting on a periodic basis so that the increases are incremental rather
than major; and 3) Establish an annualcharge for inspections. Staffwill follow up
on these requests and incorporate them into the final draft documents as well as
any additional changes for Committee approval.
6. NEW BUSINESS
A. KERN TRANSPORTATION FOUNDATION FUNDING REQUEST
The Foundation has asked the City for $10,000 to partially fund a study of the
regional economic impacts to and of the transportation system. The study will
help to design a public education campaign for promoting a modern, balanced
transportation system. The Committee is very much in favor of a private/public
partnership for this effort. It will recommend to Council a contribution of up to
$5,000 based on a dollar for dollar match from the private sector once private
contributions exceed the $21,811 already contributed by the public sector. The
Committee will make the recommendation at the September 7, 1994 Council
meeting.
B. FEES FOR FALSE ALARMS
A complaint was filed with a councilmember which suggested that citizens who
have residential alarm systems are providing assistance to the Police Department
and, therefore, should not be required to pay a fee. Staff gave the Committee an
overview of the alarm system process with the Police Department, stating that the
greater issue is false alarm responses. The Committee asked staff to: 1) Develop
a brochure to notify residents and businesses of the alarm system program, and
to distribute it at the time a permit is issued or renewed; 2) Investigate the
differences between a residence and commercial business as they relate to their
particular services/needs/problems; 3) Analyze trend data to see what level the
false alarm maximum should be set, and determine if the fee rate is appropriate;
and 4) Begin to monitor appropriate data to report on a periodic basis the status
of the alarm program. Staff will complete this project prior to the 1995/96 budget
cycle and bdng it back to the Committee for further action.

C. CITY COUNCIL TRAVEL AND EXPENSES
Staff presented a draft policy to the Committee at the request of Councilmember
Edwards. The major change in current policy essentially suggests that each
council seat be allocated a set dollar amount for travel and expenses during the
budget, process. ,,This Would allow some flexibility for a councilmember to attend
conferences, workshops, meetings, etc. without having to get prior approval from
the full council. The Committee will make wdtten comments/suggestions to the
policy and provide them to staff for a rewrite. Staff will bdng the rewrite back to
the Committee for further action.

JOHN STINSON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
IO
FROM C.A. BLACKBURN, LIEUTENANT, TRAFFIC COMMANDER
SUBJECT PROPOSED TOW TRUCK CONTRACTS AND RESOLUTIONS
Per the city council committee's direction, I forwarded a copy of the resolution
pertaining to tow trucks and. the proposed contracts for light, medium and_h~vy
duty tow~{~g 'to the following interested parties:
Automobile Club of Southern California
Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce
Local Chapter California Tow Truck Association
B&J Towing, H&S Towing, Action Towing,
Jim's Towing, Civic Center Towing, and Barnett Towing.
In the correspondence I requested any comment regarding either the contract or
resolution be forwarded to my office in writing by Friday, April 22, 1994, so that I
may forward those comments to the city council.
The only reply I received was from B&J Towing and the owner's concern was that
they not be required to respond to their business after hours to release impounded
vehicles. See attached letter from B&J Towing.
, "it
Also, in the proposed resolution on page 15, item number 3 "Hmit on contracts,
states that the city shall contract with no more than six towing services for light and
medium duty towing and no more ;than three towing services for heavy duty towing.
It is recommended that the maximum number for heavy duty towing be reduced, to two
tow services. Since the resolution was proposed I have researched the number of
heavy duty tows and found that there is only an average of one tow per month for
heavy duty towing. Because we are required to inspect the tow company and their
vehicles annually, it is recommended that the number be reduced to two heavy duty
tows to reduce the number of business and equipment inspections annually.
Respectfully Submitted,
Traffic Commander

To Whom It May Concern:
The put-pose of this correspondence is to solicit any comments from interested oa~"%ies, regarding
.~the deletion of-the City of Bakersfield's current Tow T~uck Ordinance and 'establishment of a
contract system to provide tow t~tck services within the Cit3r of Bakersfield.
The City of Bakersfield Tow Truck Ordinance had been in effect for many years and because of
advances in the industry had become obsolete. Because of this, the city staff proposed
abolishment of the ordinance, and dealing with tow truck providers on a contract basis with a
comprehensive set of rules and regulations governing the operation of tow trucks in the city.
A proposed contract and resolution setting rates and equipment specifications for tow truck
services provided was presented to the city council. They have requested comments from the tow
truck indust~/, including the local chapter of the Tow Truck Association, all of the tow operators
that are currently on the City of Bakersfield Tow Rotation Li~t, the Automobile Club of Southern
Califommia, and the Chamber of Commerce.
Enclosed you will find a copy of the proposed contract, as well as the resolution setting rates and
equipment specifications for your review.
If you have any comment regarding either the contract or resolution, please forward a written
response to my office by F~iday, April 22, 1994, so that I may forward these to the city council.
Thank you, in advance, for your input into this process.

DEAR LT. BLACKBURN:
I HAVE RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE NEW TOW TRUCK CONTRACT AND I
AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO ADDRESS ONE AREA THAT HAS NOT BEEN
ADDRESSED. POSSIBLY BECAUSE IN THE PAST IT HAS NOT BEEN THE
PROBLEM THAT IT IS NOW BECOMING, AND THAT IS THE RELEASE OF
VEHICLES AFTER HOURS AND HOLIDAYS.
WITH THE INCREASE IN VIOLENT CRIME THAT WE ARE WITNESSING IN
THIS DAY AND AGE IT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE HAZARDOUS TO COME
TO A CLOSED YARD AFTER HOURS TO RELEASE A VEHICLE. IN MY CASE,
ONLY TWO PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO THE OFFICE AND ALARM SYSTEM,
MYSELF AND MY SECRETARY. IF I AM NOT AVAILABLE I CAN NO LONGER,
IN ALL GOOD CONSCIENCE, ASK MY SECRETARY, A LONE UNARMED FEMALE,
TO COME TO THE YARD AFTER HOURS AND OPEN THE OFFICE TO DEAL WITH
A VEHICLE OWNER WHO, THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IS HOSTILE AND
UPSET THAT HIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IMPOUNDED AND IT IS COSTING HIM
MONEY TO GET IT OUT. ALL JUSTIFIED BY AN ALLOWANCE OF AN ADDITIO-
NAL $25.00 GATE FEE. I CANNOT IMAGINE ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT
WOULD JUSTIFY PUTTING AN EMPLOYEES LIFE IN JEOPARDY.
I THEREFORE, RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY
THAT THE BAKERSFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THE
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL AND RELEASE VEHICLES DURING NORMAL
OFFICE HOURS ONLY.
SINCERELY,
B & J TOWING
