(Item 6.C. was heard first)
A. BAKERSFIELD MUSEUM OF ART FUNDING REQUEST
The Bakersfield Museum of Art Board is planning to expand their existing facility
currently located in Central Park. A letter from the Board to the Committee stated
what they request from the City: (1) The City deletes the "reversionary clause"
stated in the current Grant Deed; (2) Commit $500,000 payable in five equal
installments to be used in the construction of the new Museum facility; and (3)
Donate an additional acre adjacent to the Museum to be deeded to the Museum,
free of restrictions, upon the Museum's request on or before 2010. The Board
indicated it desires to remain in Central Park if the City of Bakersfield can commit
to assisting the Museum.
Chairperson Pat DeMond requested City staff to prepare a list of alternatives which
could be considered by the Committee when discussing the proposed elimination
of the "reversionary clause." City Manager Alan Tandy and City Attorney Bart
Thiltgen prepared a memorandum which outlined several options with comments
included for each alternative to point out potential ramifications for the Committee
to consider. City Manager Alan Tandy recommended option number five (5) as the
best alternative which protects the City and allows the Museum flexibility to pursue
private sector financing. The Committee directed staff to work with the Museum
Board to develop language and find common ground.
City staff provided the Committee with the future outlook for the City's budget. After
discussion, the Committee did not recommend approving the Museum's application
for funding of $500,000 over the next five years. It was reported that the
maintenance of the Museum structure and grounds was still being performed by the
City. Staff was requested to review these costs and bring the matter back to the
Committee at the next meeting.
B. CITY INVESTMENTS
City Treasurer Bill Descary presented an overview of the City's investment policy,
which has not been changed since December 1997. He stated that based on his
experience over the last 16 years, it has been found that most local banks do not

want the burden that goes with public deposits because of the collateral and
reporting requirements associated with public money. The Committee
recommended no changes be made and directed staff to submit the policy to the
Council for adoption.
C. CONTRACTING FOR TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES WITH AN
EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
This item was heard first on the agenda so the two people in the audience
concerned with this matter could leave. The City has approximately 300 to 500
temporaries at any time. By Charter, we are limited to working those employees
960 hours in a rolling year. This situation creates a constant staffing/hiring mode
which results in increased recruitment costs and orientation time for departments.
In addition, our records indicate a disproportionate amount of industrial injuries
involving temporary employees is occurring. Staff noted that last year's
unemployment and workers' compensation costs were approximately $1.3 million.
To address the constant staffing situation, the 960-hour limitation and reduce
liability to the City, staff is recommending contracting with a temporary agency for
this service. The agency would then be responsible for screening and orienting
employees as well as any associated workers' compensation claims of the
applicable employees.
Staff is proposing a pilot program to evaluate cost. The Committee recommended
a Request For Proposal (RFP) process be used for the pilot program. The
Committee emphasized the program should not develop into a process where the
City circumvents hiring permanent employees. Union representative Mr. Chuck
Waide was generally supportive of the concept and would be monitoring the.
progress of the pilot program. The Committee recommended staff to go forward
with the pilot program, which will include bid approval by City COuncil. Once the
pilot program has been evaluated and statistics have been gathered, staff will report
back on its effectiveness to the Committee.
D. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS (CDBG) AMENDMENTS
Economic Development Director Jake Wager presented a proposal to reallocate
CDBG funds from projects either completed or canceled during the past several
months. The funds are proposed to be used for new projects identified during the
fiscal year 1999-00 CDBG planning process. The Committee was supportive of the

BAKERSFIELD
- MEMORANDUM
March 25, 1999
TO: Budget & Finance Committee
FROM: Alan Christensen, Assistant City Manage
SUBJECT: Requests from Bakersfield Museum of Art
Background
The City's virtual gift of a $300,000 asset to the Museum for the sum of $5,0.00 was to
ensure that the Museum remain in Central Park. The sales agreement, which was
approved by both parties in September of 1997, includes a clause reverting the property
to the City in the event the it ever ceases to function as a museum. It appears the
existence of the reverter clause has now hindered the ability of the Museum to get a loan
for expansion.
As a result of discussions at the Budget and Finance Committee meeting on February 8,
1999, staff was directed to work with Museum representatives to resolve two issues: 1)
develop a mechanism to replace of the existing reverter clause, including acceptable
language to an agreement, which would allow the Museum to obtain financing; and 2)
determine the annual cost of maintaining the grounds and structure which has been
performed by the City but which was scheduled to be eliminated a few months ago.
Several different options were discussed with Museum representatives to replace the
existing reverter clause. Staff first proposed a second deed of trust and a first right of
refusal in the event of a default or proposed sale. Neither of the options, either combined
or separate, were acceptable to the Museum representatives. Staff also presented the
option of eliminating the reverter clause after a period of years. This concept was also
unacceptable to the Museum because it was indicated that it would prevent them from
obtaining a bank loan.
Museum representatives have stated that elimination of the reverter clause, either
immediately or upon completion of the expansion project in January 2001, is the only
acceptable option because it is the desire of the Museum to have full and complete control
of the new facility and property. Obviously this option does not protect the City's interest
to ensure that the property continues to function as a Museum. Staff continues to
recommend using the reverter clause or other device to preserve the property for public
use for many years to come, not just in the short-term.
In regard to the cost of maintenance of the Museum facility, staff indicates that grounds
maintenance is $12,750 per year and building maintenance is $6,500 per year for a total
of $19,250 annually. The City does not pay for utilities at the Museum and has not for ten
years. It should be noted that as a part of the negotiations to sell the property it was
expressly understood by all parties that the City's maintenance responsibilities would end
as of a date certain. We have gone beyond that date administratively due to the current
open discussions. To give money in-lieu of the maintenance now would essentially be
paying for the same thing twice.

Dear Mr. Tandy:
On behalf of the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra board of directors, we want to thank the
City of Bakersfield for its $40,000 gram to the Symphony during the 1998-99 season. These
funds are used to help defray the general operating cost of the Orchestra, including seven
subscription concerts, twelve Young People's programs, the Nutcracker Ballet, an Academic
Decathlon concert, and a Holiday Pops program.
We would like to request an appropriation of $75,000 for the 1999-2000 season. This would
cover the Symphony's estimated $42,000 cost of using the Bakersfield Convention Center,
allow us to restore four educational concerts we canceled five years ago because of a lack
of funds, and add two Nutcracker Young People's programs. This will bring an additional
11,000 school-age children, who might not otherwise be able to attend such a concert, to
a performance by the Bakersfield Symphony. The Symphony now turns away many young
people because we can't afford to offer these additional programs.
We will be happy to supply any additional information you may require in this matter. Thank
you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Kelly Aqlen Francisco'

SUBJECT: Request by the Southeast Bakersfield Project Area Committee to establish a community office
within the proposed Southeast Bakersfield Project Area
RECOMMENDATION:
Refer to Budget & Finance Committee for discussion.
BACKGROUND:
At the January 21, 1999 meeting of the Southeast Bakersfield Project Area Committee (PAC), the PAC
requested two items be placed on its next agenda:
1. the issue of establishing a committee office within the project area, and
2. establishing an operational budget for their PAC operations.
Both issues were stated to be relative to Section 33388 of the California Health and Safety Code. Staff placed
both requests on the February 4th PAC agenda.
At the February 4"' meeting, staff discussed with the PAC that the City Council appropriated $240,255 in the
current budget year to establish both the Southeast Bakersfield Project Area and the Old Town Kern - Pioneer
Project Area. The funds were used to contract for the services of the consultants and legal counsel being
used to research, document, and develop the plans, reports and legal documents required to establish a
project area. The contracts were as follows:
GRC Redevelopment Consultants $116,500
-Quad/Knopf Environmental Consultants .96,755
Kathryn Reimann, Legal Counsel 23,500
TOTAL $236,755
The $3,500 difference between the appropriated amount and contracted amounts has already been spent on
the required legal notices and mailings to both project areas. It was also discussed that the above
appropriated funds do not include the substantial costs in staff time and supplies that have been and will
continue to be dedicated toward establishing the project areas. The City Council, in appropriating the above
DIk:S:~REDVAREA~se pac off spc cc.adm
February 12, 1999, 9:06AM
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Page 2
funds, determined that these funds were sufficient to form both proposed project areas.
On January 21st and again on February 4th certain PAC members referred to Section 33388 of the California
Health and Safety Code in requesting the a committee office and PAC operational budget.
Section 33388 states:
(a) Upon the recommendation of the project area committee, funds as determined necessary by the
legislative body for the operation of the project area committee shall be allocated to the committee
by the legislative body. This allocation shall include funds or equivalent resources for a committee
office, equipment and supplies, legal counsel, and adequate staff for the purposes set forth in Section
33386. (Emphasis added by staff)
After reviewing the above section and resources that have been made available to the PAC, the City
Attorney's Office and Special Counsel are of the opinion that equivalent resources have been provided as
outlined in Section 33388. Staff also concurs with this opinion and believes that establishing an office could
have a detrimental effect on the formation process by unnecessarily stretching limited staff and budgetary
resources.
After discussion by the PAC, a motion was approved to request of the City Council that a community office
be established. Funding for the office was not identified by the PAC, however a PAC member offered to
donate use of a building for office space. Left unstated, were the issues of office staffing and providing the
normal and customary appurtenances associated with a modern functioning office (i.e. telephone, fax
machine, furnishings, copier, etc.)
On January 21st and again on February 4th the PAC also discussed the need for an operational budget to cam/
on their duties. Certain PAC members have expressed their belief that funds are needed to conduct surveys
to determine the needs/issues within their community, or to attend out-of-town workshops/conferences. The
PAC was not able to determine a budget or identify funding for their budget, and no formal action was taken.
However, the item was requested to be placed on the PAC's February 25th agenda for further discussion.
it is uncertain what sources of funds could be made available to fund a PAC office and operational budget.
The department's current Community Development Block Grant funding for administrative costs has
maximized the 20% administrative costs rule. With no redevelopment funds available to this project area until
well after the formation is completed, the only other source of available funding would be the City's General
Fund. Should this option be considered, the City Council would then need to consider if the funds being made
available would be in the form of a grant or a loan to the CDDA. The obvious risk with a loan is the possibility
that the area would not be approved and thus no tax increment funds necessary for repayment would be
generated.

City of Bakersfield'
Dear Chairperson DeMond,
Our letter of February 10, 1999 requested that Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. and Golden Empire
Ambulance be granted by the City of Bakersfield the means to begin itemized billing for medical
supplies and drugs as we are presently doing in the County. Itemized billing would be besides
the normal and customary ALS and BLS rates already in place.
Hail Ambulance Service, Inc. and Golden Empire Ambulance requests using three categories to
bill for medical supplies and drugs. Attachment I specifies those three categories as ALS
medical supplies, BLS medical supplies and Drugs/Injections. In addition, we have provided an
inventory of items most often included in each category. It is important to remember that the
Kern County EMS Agency requires ambulances to carry medical supplies and drugs under
County and State established protocols. At times the EMS Agency will change these protocols.
Interaction with hospitals or physicians might dictate changing or upgrading particular medical
supplies. Such changes to treatment procedures and protocols must allow for a flexibility in
these lists. Items in each category are listed as "included but not limited to." This flexible
treatment would allow us to make changes in supplies carried on our ambulances as required by
the County EMS Agency without petitioning the City Council at every change.
An itemized billing for medical supplies and drugs is the only mechanism, in most instances, that
payers; i.e. Medicare, MediCal, insurance companies, HMOs, etc., will accept to reimburse
ambulance providers. Under our proposal each patient will receive an itemized statement of
medical supplies and drugs used. However, we would also propose a maximum dollar amount
charged be placed on each category. The maximum that we could charge to any one patient for
ALS medical supplies would be $100.00. The maximum amount for BLS supplies would be
$100.00. Under the category of drugs and medications, the maximum amount would be $275.00.
Overall, we propose a cap of $375.00 for a combination of a patient's medical supply and drug
charges for any single transport. Attachment II provides several scenarios on billing for medical
supplies and drugs that might help you to understand the process. However, these examples of
dollar amounts might be different depending on whether Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. or Golden
Empire Ambulance transported the patient.
Page -2-
Our original intention had been to provide to the City Council, for approval, a list of medical
supplies and drugs suggesting a dollar amount for each item on the list. However, the nature of
private business made that a difficult, if not impossible, task. Each company uses different
vendors for supplies, purchases supplies at different prices and employs different mark up
percentages. Approval by the City Council. of the maximum allowable charges and the overall
cap on amounts for medical supplies and drugs would give a patient reasonable assurance of fair
billing. Any patient, having questions concerning charges for medical supplies, drugs and
medications, would have the oppommity to bring those questions to the ambulance companies
individually or to the County EMS Agency or to the City Council. Ambulance services must
maintain documentation of medical supplies and drugs used for patient care reports and for
individual payer reimbursement.
Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. and Golden Empire Ambulance Service remain committed to re
supplying the fire department with medical supplies that they use in patient care at no cost to the
city.
Therefore, Golden Empire Ambulance Service and Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. request, under
the ordinance, a hearing for the changes to the City ordinance allowing for patient billing of
medical supplies and drugs. We would hope this hearing could be scheduled as soon as possible.
Yours truly,
Harvey L. Hall' ~/

The attached page contains three (3) scenarios of patient transports that we deal with on a
daily basis. Beside those treatments or procedures that we are requesting the ability to
charge for, an amount has been inserted for example purposes. This amount would vary
depending on the pricing mechanism of either Golden Empire Ambulance or Hall
Ambulance Service, Inc. Had the total ALS Medical Supplies cost more than $100, then
the maximum charged would have been $100. The same would hold true for the
medications or injections of drugs. Had the actual cost of the drugs exceeded $275, then
the maximum cap of $275 would have been charged to the patient. In no scenario was
this the case. Finally, had the total cost for medical supplies and drugs combined
exceeded $375 then the cap of $375 would have been applied instead of the actual
amount.
We hope this has been helpful and clarifies any questions you might have about our
proposal.

Pat DeMond, Council Member
Chairperson Budget and Finance Committee
City. Council
City. of Bakersfield
Dear Chairperson DeMond,
Until February 1 of this year, Kern County hospitals and Kern County ambulance providers had a
long-standing ageement providing for the restocking, by hospitals. of specific medical supplies
and drugs. These medical supplies and drugs would have been used or administered by the
paramedic before the patient arrived at the hospital. The hospitals would, in mm, resupply the
ambulances after the call. The hospitals then could charge the patient to recoup the costs of these
medical supplies and drugs. On February. 1, 1999, the hospitals in Bakei'sfield and the
surrounding communities decided that, legally, they could no longer restock ambulance
providers with medical supplies or drugs except Morphine and Valium.
Hall Ambulance Service, inc. and Golden Empire Ambulance have spent considerable time
n-ying to calculate the financial impact that this change will have on our businesses. The
resupply ageement between the hospitals and ambulance providers has not covered all medical
supplies or drugs. Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. and Golden Empire Ambulance have, over the
years, incorporated into the costs of doing business a si~cant portion of these medical supply
costs. However, we believe Hall Ambulance and Golden Empire Ambulance will see a
substantial increase in the dollar amount of medical supplies and drugs purchased during this
ne,ct fiscal year. This is the amount we will no longer receive in resupply from the hospitals.
Medical supplies are one of our biggest financial line items. For either ambulance provider to
increase its medical expenditures, to the e=ent that we anticipate, is a serious matter. Hall
Ambulance and Golden Empire Ambulance both %oree that we must, by necessity., begin
charging our patients for these medical supplies and drugs. To bill patients will not be an easy
task. Ambulance providers face a myriad of different billing rules for the various pay sources,
such as Medicare, MediCal, managed.Fare, insurance companies, city. or county. We also know ·
that two of our major pay sources, Medic'are and MediCal, will only pay us a small portion of the
actual cost of the medical supplies and cirugs. Despite all of the difficulties, we are determined to
maintain the kigh standard of ,c.are that the citizens of Bakersfield and Kern County. have come to
expect. ..
Page -2-
The Kern CoUnty Ambulance Ordinance provides only that we notice the EMS Department in
writing of any rate changes. We have done so. Our bills to patients in the coUnty will now
reflect itemization for these medical supplies and drags to a maximum of. $375.00.
The current regulated rate structure, under which we operate within the City Of Bakersfield. does
not allow us to charge patients for medical supplies or drugs used in their treatment. Our
agreement with the City provides that we can request the City of Bakersfield f.or rates changes
once a year by December 3 I. In tact. we submitted a rate change request on December 31, 1998.
We did not include a request f.or a method or amount to charge for medical supplies or drugs. At
the time, we hoped that we could change the stance of' the hospitals so they would continue
restocking ambulances. However, we were Unsuccessful.
Because of the nature of this crisis, we respectfully request that the City. of Bakersfield grant us
the means by which we can begin billing immediately for medical supplies and drugs.
Therefore, this would mean that besides the normal and customary ALS and BLS base rates, we
would send each patient an itemized billing of'all medical supplies and drugs used in their care.
An itemized list of medical supplies and drugs gives each patient accurate information about
their treatment. We will charge patients for only those medical supplies and drugs used by the
paramedic bef.ore arrival at the hospital. Billing requirements by such payers as MediCal
requires that the ambulance providers document these itemized costs. In addition, because o'f the
costly nature of certain of the drugs used, we are willing to place a cap of $375.00 on the charges
that any one patient will pay.
Hall Ambulance Service, Inc. and Golden Empire Ambulance appreciate any help that you,. your
committee and the City CoUncil will give us on this matter.
