WHEREAS, Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 2.40 authorizes the
Bakersfield Disaster Council to develop a City emergency plan to take effect upon
adoption by resolution of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Bakersfield formally adopted an
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) in November, 1996, an updated version in
December, 1999 (Resolution 180-99) and another updated version in September, 2010
(Resolution 102-10); and

(Cal EMA) Office for Access and Functional Needs published Guidance on Planning
and Responding to the Needs of People with Disabilities and Older Adults; and,

persons with access and functional needs, it is necessary for this additional specific
emergency response to be adopted by Council; and
WHEREAS, all authorities and assumptions listed in the EOP and the Lake
