1. Kern Transportation Foundation
The Committee reviewed a request from the Kern Transportation Foundation for a
$10,000 contribution. Don Lindsay, President of the Foundation, did a brief
presentation to the Committee on the Foundation's current activities and objectives.
There was discussion regarding the Foundation's participation in the Kern County
Transportation Master Plan and the level of service relative to the transportation
impact fees. The Committee felt that additional information was needed from the
Foundation regarding its budget and a list of contributors to the Foundation. The
Committee recommended that this information-be provided to staff so they may
include this request as part of the 1994-95 fiscal year budget process.
2. Sexual. Assault Response Team
This item was referred by Couneilmember Brunni at the November 10, 1993 Council
meeting. Sergeant Bob Hartshorn explained the current practices utilized by the
Bakersfield Police Department regarding investigations of rape or sexual assaults.
He indicated that the City currently utilizes Kern Medical Center to provide these
services and that there has been some interest expressed by nurses at Memorial
Hospital who have received specialized training as sexual assaUlt nurse examiners to
provide this program for the City. There were a number of questions regarding
current funding of this program by the County as well as the availability of these
services through other hospitals. The Committee is recommending that staff
continue to investigate the possibility of utilizing this program as well as developing
a more complete cost estimate.
