During their meeting last week a number of key objectives were identified, and both side are very close on nearly every issue. The meetings are continuing.

He estimated that 70% of the issues are resolved and another month of meetings will be needed. B. Fire Service Joint Powers Agreement Ron Fraze indicated that he has been meeting with Dan Clark, and another meeting is scheduled for later today. He expects all issues to be resolved at that meeting. ' 5. NEW BUSINESS A. South Beitway Alignments Jacque LaRochelle indicated that public input has been received regarding the proposed alignments. The City is working with Kern Council of Governments (KernCOG) to perform traffic studies. The basic street alignment has been developed. Only minor "tweaking" is needed before the next presentation to the City Planning Commi~ion and City Council. Ted James gave a brief explanation of the purpose of the South Beltway and explained how the project fits into the circulation element of the 2010 General Plan. This beltway is only one of several other transportation projects needed to meet the Metro area's circulation needs. B. Greater Bakersfield 2020 Vision Community Development Summit Report Pete Parra opened this topic by explaining that the 2020 Vision Report had been presented to the Board of Supervisors. The Board received the plan favorably and appreciates the Chamber of Commerce taking a lead role in addressing these issues. At the Board meeting, the plan was referred to the County Administrative Office, Planning and Resource Management Agency to develop an action plan for implementation of the principles. A report is due back to the Board on February 23. Staff's action plan will address opportunities for collaborative implementation with the City and public participation. Scott Jones offered to share the draft report with City staff prior to the February 23 meeting. Irma Carson said that the 2020 Vision Report was also presented to the City Council. The Council referred the plan to the Urban Development Committee, which is chaired by Randy Rowles. Randy expects that the Committee's recommendation will be presented to the City Council in mid March. The City wants to keep the momentum going regarding the principles put forth in the plan, and he reiterated the importance of the City and County working together on implementation. C. Function of IGRC - Goal Setting Pete Parra asked that this topic and the next agenda item be heard/diseussed simultaneously. The members were asked to help define the role of the Intergovernmental Relations Committee and set some goals for the upcoming year. The following ideas were listed as possible discussion topics: · Use these meetings as a forum for communication in understanding each jurisdiction's policies. · Transportation Issues: receive background information to gain an understanding of ali facets of each issue. · Enhance communication between the decision-makers and work towards building relationships. · Discuss the possibility of more joint powers agreements (JPA), with possible topics being the Museum, parks, libraries and others. · Economic Development: look for opportunities to engage in joint activities to enhance each jurisdiction's independent efforts. State Legislative Issues: find common ground on changing existing laws or developing mutually beneficial positions on pending bills. Possible topics include: ERAF; roads funding (and 1/2 cent sales tax). Annexations: understand each jurisdiction's policies and needs; work towards resolving issues. · Growth Issues: infrastructure; land use; transportation; perhaps 2010 update. · Mandatory Garbage Collection and Disposal. · Parking Issues. Staff will send this list to all members of the IGRC and ask them to prioritize the list of topics. The top priority items will be discussed at future meetings. In general, the IGRC.will use the following approach to address each topic: 1. Identify the issue 2. Each member will gain a full understanding of the issue and the other jurisdiction's position 3. Reach consensus on a solution when possible 4. Develop an action plan to implement the recommendations D. Discuss Possible Meeting Between the Entire City Council and the Entire Board of Supervisors See item C., above. 6. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned by Pete Parra at approximately 1:00 PM. The next meeting has been tentatively scheduled for Thursday, April 15, 1999.
