4. DEFERRED BUSINESS
A. Update on plastic shopping bags -Kirkwood
Management Assistant Kirkwood gave a brief update on this issue. He
explained the processes, programs, and laws that have been initiated
throughout the state of California. Currently state law AB 2449 states that
stores larger than 10,000 sq. ft. which contain a pharmacy be required to
provide a recycling program. Committee Chair Benham would like to see that
stores of this size, whether or not they contain a pharmacy, have this same
requirement. Staff has been requested to conduct a study on the number of
business that would be affected by this new law; the number of business that
are already in compliance; and have a few affected business representatives
attend and address this issue at the next Legislative and Litigation Committee
meeting.
5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Streamline Standards for Code Violations -Gennaro
Per Committee member Couch's request, staff researched our current timeline
for any possibility of shortening the amount of time given for code violation
compliance. City Attorney Gennaro stated that the City currently offers the
minimum amount of time for compliance, which is thirty days. If the property is
causing a health and safety issue, then the City may require compliance before
the thirty days occur.
B. Explore Ordinance to Create Special Downtown District to Address
Infrastructure Issues Similar to San Diego Gas Lamp Area, to Include
Property Owners' Responsibilities regarding Windows in Unoccupied
Commercial Buildings -Kunz
Economic Development Director Kunz gave details of a survey that was taken
on vacant commercial buildings in the downtown area. Many of the owners of
these buildings are from out of town and have no interest in using or selling
these buildings at this time. Beautification programs were looked into in order
to address this issue. PG&E offers a grant program through the Kern Arts
Council, which entails the painting of seasonal artwork on the windows of these
buildings to improve the look on the pedestrian side. The buildings on Chester
Avenue, with the highest profile, will be completed first to see how it works.
The funding should be available by October, 2007. A report will be given to the
Committee at the Legislative and Litigation meeting in October, 2007.
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
LEGISLATIVE AND LITIGATION COMMITTEE MEETING
Tuesday, July 16, 2007
Page 3
In regards to the aging infrastructure downtown, one of the main development
issues is the perceived lack of parking. Staff has worked with various business
owners in the past to leave more public parking for customers rather than their
employees. The previous parking study was conducted approximately five
years ago. Staff will perform a new parking study. Some other issues in this
area that need to be looked into are alley conditions, light fixtures, and
damaged sidewalks. Once staff has conducted an inventory of these
dilapidated areas, then a plan will be brought back to the committee on funding,
material, and people in order to accomplish the necessary repairs. While
waiting for various studies to be completed, Committee Chair Benham
requested that staff look into having the alleys and sidewalks power washed in
order to make a more immediate effect. Redevelopment money could not be
used for the power washing; therefore, Public Works would need to be
contacted regarding this request.
Committee member Couch requested that staff strive to get a building with
parking above and retail below. Economic Development Director Kunz stated
that it can be done, but would require acquisition of a full city block and could
not be done without some public assistance due to the cost. A report will be
brought back to the Committee.
C. Proposed Revision to the Historic Preservation Commission Ordinance -
Kunz
Development Associate Donna Barnes reported that staff was approached by
the Historic Preservation Commission, who would like to get more recognition
for some of our historic areas of town. A program offered through the City
enables properties to be listed as a cultural resource. Currently, there are
thirteen properties on the list. Many people choose not to list their properties,
stating that it is too restrictive. Another recognition opportunity is to have a
designated cultural district. There are none of these in our city.
The Historic Preservation Commission is working on changing the current
restrictions for properties listed as cultural resources or districts. The new laws
would recognize the districts as historical, but the individual property owners
would not be restricted regarding certain items on their property, such as a type
of fence, etc. A Public Hearing would be held informing the residents of these
neighborhoods of the plan to designate their districts as historic and explaining
the whole process to them. The neighborhood's response would help
determine whether or not this process would take place. .Committee member
Couch requested that an appeal process be added to this ordinance, in the
case that a resident disagreed with this designation.

a. City Voting Delegate and Alternate(s)
Rhonda Smiley was selected as the Voting Delegate and Pam McCarthy as

b. Conference Resolutions
There will be four resolutions. Depending on the content of these
resolutions, staff recommends that they be presented at the City Council
meeting of August 15, 2007 without any further review by the Legislative
and Litigation Committee. If the resolutions require further Committee
review, Committee Chair Benham recommends August 1, 2007 or August
21, 2007 as contingency dates for a Special Meeting.

MEMORANDUM
August 30, 2007
TO: Alan Tandy, City Idlanager
FROM: Rick Kirkwood, Management Assistant
SUBJECT: A8 2449 (Levine)
Councilmember Benham requested staff research AB 2449 {Levine) and determine if.
a local ordinance may be adopted to require all stores with 10,000 square feet of retail
space to comply with the provisions of AB'2449.
The provisions of AB 2449 .(Levine) became .operative on July 1, 2007. and will be
repealed on January '1,..2013.... The intent ~f the Legislature is to encourage the use of
'reusable bags by consumers and retailers -and to reduce the consumption of single-use
bags. The California Integrated Waste Management Board estimates that nearly 7,000
stores throughout California will be required to comply with AB 2449. Staff estimates
that approximately. 30 stores within the city timi#s of Bakersfield. may. be required to
comply with AB 2449.. The following serves as a summary of the provisions of AB 2449.
Store is defrned by this bill as meeting either the definition of "store" as provided in the
bill or "supermarket" as defined by Public Resources Code Section 14526:5:
• A "Store" has over -ten. thousand (10,000) square. feet of retail space. and a
licensed pharmacy.
• A "Supermarket" is a full-line, self-service retail store with gross annual sales of
two million dollars ($2,000,000),. or more; and which sells a lineof dry grocery,
canned goods, or nonfood items and same perishable items.:
Thebill.requires the following:
• Plestic carryout bags shall have printed or displayed on the. bag "PLEASE
RETURN TO A PARTICIPATING-STORE FOR RECYCLINr;".
The operator of a store must establish an at-store recycling program where.
consumers may return clean plastic ...carryout bags to a visible arx_i;1 easily
accessible collection bin.
Alan Tandy - AB 2449 (Levine)
Augusf 30, 2007
Page 2 ,
• Manufacturers of plastic bags are required to implement a public .awareness
program promoting plastic bag reuse and recycling and must make written
materials available to store operators.
• All plastic bags hall be ,collected, transported, and recycled in a manner that
does not conflict with he local. jurisdicfton's source reduction and recycling
element. .
• The store shall maintain records of these activities for a minimum of three years
and make them. available to the local jurisdiction, upon request,. to demonstrate
compliance with this chapter.
• The store shall make reusable bags available to customers fore purchase and use
in-lieu of a plastic or paper bag.
The City is pre-empted from adopting, .implementing., or enforcing an ordinance,
resolution, regulation, or rule upon a store that is in compliance with AB 2449 to do any
of the following:
• Require a store to collect, transport, or recycle plastic bags;
• Impose a .plastic carryout bag. #ee; and/or,
• Require auditing or reporting .requirements that are in addition to what is required
in AB 2449.
How many stores will be affected by AB 2449 and :..how many are already in
compliance?
Attached to this memo: is a list of stores within the city limits of Bakersfield. There are
nine (9) stores on this list that. meet the definition of "store" and must comply with AB
2449 because they have 10,000 square feet, or more, of retail space°and a pharmacy.
The. other stores will have to comply if they meet the deftnition of "supermarket": A
survey conducted by staff revealed that most of the stores, such as Albertson's, Food 4
Less, Green Frog Market, and FoodMaxx already ofFer a plastic bag take back and
recycling program.
May the City adopt an ordinance requiring establishments with 1 Q,000 square
feet, or more, of retail apace and without a pharmacy to'comply with AB 2449?
The City may adopt an ordinance requiring es#ablishments with 10,000 square feet of.
retail space, or more, and that do not meetthe definition of "store" or "supermarket" to
comply with the provisions of AB 2449. This may not be necessary based on the
information. presented that "store" as defined in AB 244:9 covers the majority of the
major grocers located in Bakersfield.
It is interesting to note that there is no punishment for failure to comply. with AB 2449
unless the cities, counties, or state adopt the foAowing .civil penalties: five hundred
dollars. ($500) for the first violation, one thousand dollars ($1,000) .for the second
violation, and two thousand dollars ($2,000) for. the third and subsequent violations. It
may be for this reason that stores must maintain records ofi activities.. related to its on-
site plastic bag .recycling program and make them available to the local jurisdiction to
demonstrate compliance.

MEMORANDUM ~` -
CITY ,~
July 18, 2007
TO: RICK KIRKWOOD, MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT
FROM: JANICE SCANLAN, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: AB 2449
Pursuant to your request, I have reviewed AB 2449. It appears that local entities
are only pre-empted from enacting ordinances which address specific issues. For
example, section 42254(a) states that only matters involving "stores" are of statement
concern and section (b) states that:
Unless expressly authorized by this chapter, a city, county,.
or other public agency shall not adopt, implement, or enforce
an ordinance, resolution, regulation or rule to do any of the
follows:
(1) Require a store that is in compliance with this chapter
to collect, transport, or recycle plastic carryout bags.
(2) Impose a plastic carryout bag fee upon a store that is in
compliance with this chapter.
(3) Require auditing or reporting requirements that are in
addition to what is required by subdivision (d) of Section
42252, upon a store that is in compliance with this
chapter. (Emphasis added)
So, the City can adopt an ordinance requiring establishments that do not meet
the definition of "store" to recycle, and do the other things required by AB 2449.
Additionally, the City can adopt the civil penalties set forth in AB 2449 when
"stores" are not in compliance. It's interesting to note that there is no punishmen# for
failure to comply with AB2449 unless the cities, counties or state adopts the civil
penalty. So unless the city adopts the penalties, even the "stores" don't have to comply.

Q
Date: August 28, 2007
To: W. R. Rector, Chief of Police
From: Lt. G. R. Moore, Traffic Section
Subject: Parade Route Ordinance
Three years ago the City of Bakersfield modified our Parade Ordinance to restrict parades
within the City to five basic routes. After evaluating relevant statutes and surveying other
cities we have determined that we would like to alter the ordinance in order to allow a
sixth option. We propose to include the option of a route or routes, varying from the
suggested list of five, which would be proposed by the permit applicant. These routes
would be subject to the nine criteria listed in the current ordinance (MC 10.76.030 B), with
our focus being the safety along the route and the ability to adequately staff personnel for
the event. The permit request will be reviewed with regard to traffic safety, disruption of
vehicular traffic patterns, and feasibility of staffing. If all of these are determined to be
properly satisfied a cost estimate for the personnel shall be determined and attached to
the permit which will be processed by the police department finance office. It is
recommended an additional subsection be added to the Municipal Code to include an
appeal process to the City Manager's Office for those applicants who are denied.
Current Routes:
The "L" Street corridor
The "F" Street corridor
The Truxtun Avenue corridor
The East California Avenue corridor
The Baker Street corridor
Page 1 of 2
M.C. 10.76.0308
The traffic authority or his/her designee shall issue a parade permit conditioned upon
the applicant's agreement to comply with the terms of such permit and if he/she finds:
1. That the application is complete and truthful;
2. That the parade will be conducted in accordance with all laws of the city and the
state;
3. That the conduct of such parade will not require police protection in excess of what
the city can reasonably provide;
4. That operation of the parade at such location will not present any substantial
hazard to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, nor impede the movement of emergency
vehicles;
5. That the applicant has not had a permit, issued under this section, revoked, unless
the city manager finds that the reasons for such revocation are unrelated to this
application;
6. That the parade is not being held for the sole purpose of advertising any products,
goods, wares, merchandise or event;
7. That the conduct of the parade will not constitute an unreasonable burden on city
employees or resources, nor create an unreasonable disturbance to the
neighboring areas;
8. That the parade will move from its starting point to its finish line expeditiously;
9. That such parade will not interfere with, or conflict with, another parade or special
event for which a permit has been issued or for which no permit is required.
