OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
June 7, 2013
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT/al
SUBJECT: General Information
Miscellaneous News
Congratulations to Willie Rivera on his election to fill the Ward 1 seat! We will begin
to provide him with all information normally flowing to the City Council as we await
the County’s certification of the election results. After that is accomplished, we will
schedule his swearing-in ceremony.
The current one year lease/operational agreement between the City and County,
regarding the sheltering of stray and otherwise unwanted animals, is set to expire on
June 30, 2013. You may recall that this agreement provides for the County’s lease
of City owned land where the County’s Mount Vernon shelter is located as well as
annual compensation payable from the City to the County for housing the animals
referenced above. Through meetings of the Metro Bakersfield Animal Control
Committee, the City and County agreed on a future master plan which would
include the development of new facilities over the course of the next couple years.
In order to allow time for this to take place, the City and County verbally agreed to
continue the current relationship for the next two years. To facilitate this, in early
May, City staff provided the County with a draft two-year extension of the lease and
operational agreement for review and comment. To date, the City has not
received any feedback from the County. Recent staff efforts to urge the County to
act appear to have fallen on deaf ears. While the current agreement does allow
for a mutually agreed upon extension of its terms, through September 30th of this
year, the silence from the County is troubling!
Local hotels and restaurants will again be busy this weekend. The Jehovah’s Witness
Watchtower Convention returns to Rabobank Arena for the second of six
weekends, beginning today (Friday). Each Watchtower Convention weekend
brings about 6,000 delegates to Bakersfield. This weekend also will see the Metro
Competitor Flag Football Union’s flag football regional and state championships
underway at Kern County Soccer Park. This is the first time MCFFU has held an event
in Bakersfield.
Completion of the Westside Parkway, Phase II is drawing near, as indicated by the
street signs that are going up. Attached are a few pictures. As always, additional
information can be found on the website: www.BakersfieldFreeways.us.
