Ordinances
Item 8c. Update and /or Minor Corrections to Various Ordinances. Periodically, City departments
request minor changes in existing ordinances to reflect current practice, correct typographical errors,
or to make a section read better. This item requests the adoption of a series of minor revisions, as
described in the Administrative Report from the City Attorney's Office. Pursuant to City Council's vote
at the first reading of the ordinance on October 22, 2014, the time for submission of permits was
revised from the proposed 45 days to 30 days. Upon Council approval, the ordinances will become
effective after 30 days.
Resolutions
Item 8h. Intention to Establish a Police and Fire Services Community Facilities District. The City
previously entered into a development agreement with PB Ventures, LLC, regarding the future
development of 1,868 acres of land in west Bakersfield (formerly Old River Ranch). A component of
the agreement includes the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD). Due to new legislation
and litigation regarding tax exempt financing assistance to developers, the City and developer
proposes that the CFD be formed for "services only." The primary concern is that financing public
improvements with these funds potentially triggers prevailing wage requirements. Services included in
the proposed District are Fire and Police protection in the amount of $287 per residential unit for the
first 10 years and $174 per residential unit for the remaining term. There are currently no residential
units in the district boundary. This resolution is required to commence the process to establish a CFD.

Item 9b. Martin Luther King Community Center Gym Floor Replacement. Staff is requesting Council
approval to amend the City's FY 2014 -15 Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Action Plan to
increase funding for the replacement of the gym floor at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community
Center. Over the previous three fiscal years, numerous capital improvements have been made to the
facility, including renovating the kitchen and public restrooms, acquiring new weight room
equipment, repainting walls and cabinets, resurfacing the tennis courts, and installing or refurbishing
the floors throughout most of the community center. The most significant remaining capital
improvement need within the community center is the replacement of the 40 -year old gymnasium
hardwood floors. Upon a recent review by HUD, staff was notified that a previously completed
landscape project was determined to be ineligible for HUD funding. As a result, the City is required to
return and reallocate the HUD funds by December 8, 2014. This proposed action remedies the finding
and addresses a need at the facility, which currently serves an estimated 40,000 people annually.
NEW BUSINESS
Item 13a. 2015 Calendar Year City Council Meeting Schedule. Council is requested to approve the
resolution setting the dates for the City Council meetings, Budget Hearings, and Department Budget
Presentation for 2015. Holidays, spring break, election deadlines, and the League of California Cities
Conferences were considered in the formation of the proposed schedule.
