requested by the Committee in order to provide a criteria where multi-service medical
and recovery care facilities could receive a 100% credit or exemption from the park
development fee. He suggested some additional changes to Section C. of the Park
Development Fee Credit Ordinance, which would more clearly indicate the additional
facilities required to qualify for an exemption from the park development fee. These
changes were acceptable to those requesting the Ordinance change and also to
representatives from the North Bakersfield Recreation and Park District. The Committee
recommended that the Ordinances with the proposed changes be forwarded to the City
Council for adoption.
B. FREEWAY UPDATE
Public Works Director Raul Rojas gave the Committee an overview of road funding and
how various transportation improvement funding sources are applied to projects in the
Metropolitan Bakersfield area.
C. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE - GREATER BAKERSFIELD 2020 VISION
Assistant City Manager John Stinson indicated that staff needed further direction from
the Committee regarding their desire to have the Urban Development Committee meet
in the community regarding this issue. He noted that the County had recently taken
action on this item and had contacted the City to coordinate activities. It was pointed out
that there could be confusion among the public as to the purpose of the 2020 Vision
meetings since the County is starting a strategic planning effort, and both the City and
County are working on updating the 2010 General Plan which will also require public
meetings and input. There was discussion about the possibility of having joint meetings
of the Urban Development Committee and representatives from the Board of Supervisors
out in the community. The City Attorney indicated that there were Brown Act issues to
deal with if other Councilmembers or Board members attended these meetings. It was
suggested that if meetings were noticed as meetings of the entire City Council and Board
of Supervisors, all could attend. Staff was directed to check to see if the County had any
interest in such meetings to discuss the 2020 Vision Report. Staff will also be preparing
an inventory of activities the City is currently doing which are consistent with the
principles in the 2020 Vision Report. The Committee expects to receive additional
direction on this issue from the City Council at the March 17th Council meeting.
