CONTINUATION OF REGULAR MEETING - 6:30 p.m.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Ordinances
Item 11c. First Readinq of an Ordinance Amendinq the Municipal Code Relatinq to Approval of
Development Entitlement Conditioned on Indemnification of City. Currently, developers must sign an
indemnification agreement as part of the approval process for development projects. Additionally,
indemnification language is included in all development agreements. Staff is recommending that the
indemnification requirement be included in an ordinance.
Item 11d. First Readinq of an Ordinance Amendinq the Municipal Code Relatinq to Planninq Department -
General Plan Consistency Findinqs. Typically, an action necessitating General Plan consistency findings
are initiated by either the Public Works Department or Property Management, and is reviewed and
preliminarily approved by the Planning Division. The findings are then made by the Planning Commission.
This ordinance will provide that all General Plan consistency findings will be delegated to the Planning
Director, or his designee. This will eliminate the need to schedule these items for Planning Commission
consideration.
Resolutions
Item 11k. Resolution Determininq that Two Graffiti Trucks Cannot be Reasonably Obtained Throuqh the
Usual Biddinq Procedures and Authorizinq the Finance Director to Dispense with Biddinq Therefore, in an
amount not to exceed $70,000. City staff has located two graffiti trucks that are currently available at the 3-
Way Chevrolet dealership. These trucks would provide the additional resources needed to abate increased
graffiti activity.
Aqreements
Item 11p. Aqreement with RRM Desiqn Group for Desiqn of the New Fire Station and Police Substation on
East White Lane, East of South Union Avenue in the amount of $323,491. The existing fire station was not
designed to accommodate the apparatus and equipment that is currently being used by the Fire
Department, and needs to be better centralized within its fire response area. The existing Police Substation
at 3945 Hughes Lane is also not located to adequately serve the residents of the area. Based on interviews
by a Selection Committee comprised of senior staff from the Fire Department, Police Department and Public
Works Department, the firm of RRM Design Group was found to have the combination of qualifications and
fee proposal which is most favorable for the City. Staff recommends appropriation and transfer of
Community Development Block Grant Funds from the Economic and Community Development Operating
Budget to the Capital Improvement Budget to fund the design work.

Items 11r. Amendment No. I to Aqreement No. RP05-005 with Slater Plumbinq & Mechanical, Inc. for
Additional Plumbinq Work on Planz Pool in an amount not to exceed $25,000 (total contract amount
$42,225). Upon commencing the project, the contractor discovered that additional plumbing work would be
needed to complete the project. The work being performed at Planz Pool is relatively minor, and will not
trigger additional ADA repairs or other State health code repairs currently covered under the "grandfather"
clause of this pool. The original agreement with Slater Plumbing was in the amount of $21,775. Because it
was a department agreement less than 25,000, it did not need CounciI approval. However, because we are
amending the agreement in an amount not to exceed $25,000, it requires City Council approval. The
amended total amount will be $42,225. The Department will charge the additional amount to the Park
Improvement Fund balance.
Item 11u. Environmental Impact Report Preparation for Panama-Gosford Project. This project
necessitated considerable unforeseeable environmental work for comments received for the draft EIR,
which caused increases in consultant time and materials. As a result, the developer is being required to
provide an additional $40,375 to offset costs.
Bids
Item 11v. Award Annual Contract to Pavement Recyclinq Systems, Inc for Cold Planinq for the Streets
Department in the amount of $400,000. This contract is used primarily by the Streets Division to prepare
neighborhood streets for paving. Although seven firms were invited to bid, and the notice was published in
the newspaper, only one bid was received. Staff recommends awarding the contract to Pavement
Recycling Systems, Inc.
CONSENTCALENDAR HEARINGS
Item 12a. Resolution Orderin(~ the Vacation of Proqress Road between Harris Road and Panama Lane.
Porter Robertson, on behalf of McMillin Albany, LLC, developers of Tract No. 6169 (Phases 1 through 8),
has requested vacation of a portion of Progress Road in compliance with the conditions of their approved
Tentative Maps for the tracts. Progress Road between Harris Road and Panama Lane is not designated as
an Arterial or Collector under the Circulation Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. No City
department objected to the proposed vacation, and there are no facilities in the vacating area. This matter
was found by the Planning Commission to be consistent with the 2010 General Plan.
REPORTS
Item 14a. Report reqardinq the Aquatic Safety Awareness Proqram. Alan Christensen, Interim Recreation
and Parks Director, and Recreation Supervisor, Holly Larson, will give an oral report on this program.
NEW BUSINESS
Item 15a. Safe Roads Committee - Countywide Workshops. The "Safe Roads Committee" is interested in
having community workshops throughout the County to present information on a proposed ballot measure
for a 1/2 cent sales tax for transportation funding. Councilmember David Couch asked that this item be
placed on the agenda for discussion only regarding dates and locations for the workshops.

Ordinance adding Section 16.16.110 to the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to
approval of development entitlement conditioned on indemnification of City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of this ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Currently, the City Attorney's Office requires all developers to sign an indemnification agreement
as part of all Planning Department approvals of development projects. In addition, staff includes, as a
condition of approval on all such projects, such indemnification language. This means that the developer
is required to defend the City in court and pay any potential judgment arising from a third party's challenge
to the development project, including a challenge to any related environmental documents such as an EIR.
Staff is recommending that the indemnification requirement be included in an ordinance. With the
adoption of the ordinance and in the event the indemnification agreement or condition of approval is
inadvertently not included as part of the development project, the developer would still be required to
indemnify and defend the City.

Ordinance adding Section 2.28.120 to Chapter 2.28 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code
relating to Planning Department - general plan consistency findings.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends first reading of this ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Government Code Section 65402 requires local planning agencies to determine that prior to the
acquisition of property for public purposes or the disposal of publicly owned property, the action shall be
found to be in conformance with the general plan.
Typically, Government Code Section 65402 (general plan consistency) findings have applied to
actions such as ally vacations, street vacations and acquisition of property for public buildings. The action
necessitating the general plan consistency findings is typically initiated by the Public Works Department or
Property Management and is reviewed and preliminarily approved by the Planning Division. Traditionally,
Government Code Section 65402 findings are then made by the Planning Commission.
In the interests of streamlining, staff is recommending adoption of this ordinance whereby general
plan consistency findings will be delegated to the Planning Director or his designee. The County of Kern
has adopted a similar procedure. This ordinance will eliminate the need to schedule these items for
Planning Commission consideration and preparation of staff reports. General plan consistency findings
are estimated to occur about 8 times per year. No public hearing is held or required.

Ordinance amending Chapter 15.72 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code relating to the
Historic Preservation Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of this ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
For some time now, the City has had a difficult time in recruiting members to fill positions on the Historic
Preservation Commission (herein HPC). In fact, this was the subject of a referral by Councilmember
Couch last month, who has had an open appointment to the HPC for almost two years. This topic was
presented to the Legislative and Litigation Committee for review, discussion, and options.
The Committee affirmed the importance of the HPC mission and goals and concluded by a unanimous
vote that revision to the City Code would be appropriate. The new ordinance being proposed would
reduce HPC membership from nine to five commissioners, make the term of each commissioner three
years, and change the mandatory monthly meetings to meetings on an "as needed basis".
The positions being eliminated are the four that expire at the end of this month. This will leave five
remaining positions---one of which is vacant and will be filled by City Council as soon as possible. It is this
position that will have the first three year term under the new ordinance.
This ordinance received first reading at the March 30, 2005 City Council meeting.

Resolution authorizing the filing of an application with the Kern Council of Governments for
allocation of Transportation Development Act funds for Fiscal Year 2005-06 to be utilized
for the maintenance of the Bakersfield Amtrak Station during said fiscal year (Ward 2).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Transportation Development Act (TDA) Funds are administered by the Kern Council of
Governments (Kern COG). TDA Article 4 Public Transportation funds have been used by Kern COG to
address transit problems. Golden Empire Transit and other transit service-oriented organizations have
been receiving these local transit funds to provide for the transportation needs within the City of
Bakersfield. The City of Bakersfield is also eligible for TDA Article 4 Public Transportation funds to offset
maintenance costs for the Bakersfield Amtrak Station.
As the owner of the Amtrak Station, the City is responsible for certain maintenance activities of the site.
These Article 4 Transportation Development Act funds can be used to pay for those maintenance
activities. This Resolution authorizes staffto submit an application for those funds.

Maintenance District and confirming the assessments, approving the Public Works
Director's Report and authorizing collection of assessments by the Kern County Tax
Collector. (Ward 3)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND: On March 30, 2005 the Council adopted Resolution of Intention No. 1376 to add
territory, Area 4-38 (Columbus, Haley SE), to the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by
Section 13.04.021 of the Municipal Code. Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide
for the maintenance of a park and street landscaping for Parcel Map Waiver No. 04-0856. Area 4-38 is
generally bounded by Columbus Street on the north, a line approximately 350 feet east of Haley Street on
the east, a line approximately 860 feet south of Columbus Street on the south and Haley Street on the
west. This area will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit and will be assigned the
appropriate tier levels when a park and street landscaping have been installed.
The addition of this territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District is not prohibited by Proposition 218.
The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owner of the property described above which waives
the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to
expedite the maintenance district process, to satisfy the subdivision requirement. The owner also has
submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating his consent to the assessments.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the
Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a
covenant has been drafted and will be supplied to the subdivider/developer to be recorded with the parcel
map waiver.

SUBJECT: Resolution determining that two graffiti trucks cannot be reasonably obtained through the
usual bidding procedures and authorizing the Finance Director to dispense with bidding
therefore, not to exceed $70,000.
RECOMMENDATION:' Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: City staff has located two graffiti trucks from 3-Way Chevrolet that are currently available
at the dealership.
Due to the features of being a forward cab design, the truck has a much shorter turning radius which lends
itself to improved maneuverability. In addition, this cab forward design improves the external placement of
all necessary graffiti abatement equipment such as water tanks, generators, and fuel tank, which leaves
the inside of the body for all the essential specialized graffiti equipment that these trucks require.
These trucks would provide the additional resources needed to abate increased graffiti activity.

sewer connection fee in installments and notice of special assessment lien. (Ward 7)

connection fee in installments and notice of special assessment lien. (Ward 1)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution and approval of agreements.
BACKGROUND: The owners of properties at 5100 Elysium Street and 6730 Lowry Street have
connected their properties to the City sewer system. Each has claimed that to pay the sewer connection
fee in one payment would produce an economic hardship. To assist in paying the connection fee the City
has contracted with each property owner to spread the connection fee over a three (3) year period to be
collected with their property taxes in accordance with Municipal Code Section 14.12.390.B. This
resolution authorizes the Kern County Tax Collector to collect the connection fee in three equal payments
over the next three years.

Resolution authorizing access to sales and use tax records pursuant to Revenue and
Taxation Code Section 7056
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Occasionally, the City is required to provide comprehensive sales tax and property tax information in
order to assist with required audits. More recently, the City finds itself needing statistical tax information
for the preparation of several environmental impact reports for use in the urban decay anatysis section.
In order to obtain this information, it is necessary for the City to adopt a resolution authorizing the
State Board of Equalization to release such information to the firm of HDL (Hinderliter, de Lamas and
Associates) who is then permitted to share the information with certain members of City staff. The
attached Resolution proposes that HDL is authorized to provide State Board of Equalization information to
the City Attorney, City Manager, Finance Director, Assistant Finance Director, Treasurer, and Treasury
supervisor. Fees to HBL for their service will be based upon individual contracts when the information is
needed. For example, the City will pay HDL for tax information in conjunction with City audits, while a
specific developer or applicant will pay HDL for tax data necessary for an EIR.

Design Services Agreement with RRM Design Group ($323,491.00) for design
of the new Fire Station and Police Substation on East White Lane east of South
Union Avenue.
Appropriate $52,767 Community Development Block Grant Funds to the
Economic and Community Development, Capital Imprevement Budget for
design services.
Transfer $20,955 Community Development Block Grant Funds from the
Economic and Community Development Operating Budget to the Capital
Improvement Budget
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the agreement, and appropriation and transfer of
the funds.
BACKGROUND: The current Fire Station #5 at 700 Planz Road was built in 1954 and is now dilapidated,
lacks space, has inadequate street access and needs to be demolished. In addition, the existing fire
s~ation needs to be better centralized within its fire response area. The number of people served by Fire
Station #5 is 35,547 per the 2000 U.S. Census. The existing fire station was not designed to
accommodate the new apparatus and equipment that is currently being used by the Fire Department. The
new fire station will be better able to serve it's service area. Currently, the closest City police facility for
these residents is at 3945 Hughes Lane. The new police substation will also be better centralized to the
City residents it would serve within a two mile radius. That existing facility will be closed when the new
substation is opened.
In December 2004, staff began the Qualification Based Selection (QBS) process to select a design
consultant to prepare construction documents for the project. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was
sent out to interested firms. On January 28, 2005, the City received eleven responses that were then
reviewed by a Selection Committee of senior staff from the Fire Department, Police Department and
Public Works Department. The Selection Committee determined that four firms should be invited to
interview with the Selection Committee. At the interviews, each firm demonstrated their proposed
pedormance on the project and submitted their fee proposal to do the work. The firms invited to interview
were: BFGC Architecture (Bakersfield); Milazzo & Associates (Bakersfield); RRM Design Group (San Luis
Obispo); and WLC Architects (Rancho Cucamonga).

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
The interviews of the four firms were conducted on March 9, 2005. The Selection Committee rated and
ranked each of the firms. The Selection Committee then also reviewed the cost proposals that were
submitted by the firms. The Selection Committee found the firm of RRM Design Group to have the
combination of qualifications and fee proposal which is most favorable for the City. Therefore, staff
recommends that the City enter into a contract with RRM Design Group for design services for the New
Fire Station and Police Substation on East White Lane East of South Union Avenue.

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 04-281 with Nossaman, Guthner, Knox & Elliot, LLP,
for legal services in the matter of critical habitat designation of Buena Vista Lake shrew, in
the amount of $30,000, with a total contract amount not to exceed $90,000. (Ward 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City's "2800 Acres" was proposed by the United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USF&WS) to be
included in a critical habitat designation for the Buena Vista Lake shrew. The work to remove the City
property from inclusion as critical habitat involved the retention of legal counsel, certified biologists and
economic experts. The firm of Nossaman, Guthner, Knox & Elliot provided the legal counsel and sub-
contracted the biology and economists components. The sub-contractors are paid through that firm, with
no added overhead. After several telephonic conference meetings and a meeting with the USF&WS in
Sacramento, it was determined additional biologic and economic analysis was required by the USF&WS in
order to remove the "2800 Acres" from critical habitat designation and approve the Habitat Management
Plan for the property. This amendment to Agreement No. 04-281 will allow for the additional expert work to
be completed.
This Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 04-281 would add $30,000 to the compensation to result in a
total Not to Exceed amount of $90,000. Funding for this amendment is currently available within the Water
Resources Department budget. California Water Service Co. and the Kern County Water Agency have
agreed to contribute to these additional expenses, thereby reducing the City's cost in this item.

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement RP05-005 with $1ater Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc. for
additional plumbing work on Planz Pool in an amount not to exceed $42,225 (Ward 7).
1) Appropriate $20,450 Park Improvement Fund balance for the additional plumbing work
on Planz Pool by Slater Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment and appropriation of funds.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2005, Slater Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc. began contracted work to repair a leak at Planz
Pool. Upon commencing the project, the contractor discovered that additional plumbing work would be
needed to complete the project. All of the return lines piping needed to be replaced to repair the leak, and
because the existing return lines are imbedded in the concrete foundation.
The work being performed at Planz Pool is relatively minor and not comparable to the circulation
problems at Beale Pool. Because the work is not substantial at Planz, it will not trigger additional ADA
repairs or other state health code repairs currently covered under the "grandfather" clause of this pool.
The contractor submitted plans for repairs to the County Health Department which were approved on
March 15, 2005. The Health Department is not requiring any additional repairs to the mechanical system.
There are no '~urnover" rate problems or issues with this facility like there are at Beale Pool
The original agreement with Slater Plumbing was in the amount of $21,775. Because it was a department
agreement less than 25,000, it did not need Council approval. However, because we are amending the
agreement to amount to exceed $25,000, it requires City Council approval. The amended total amount
will be $42,225. The Department will charge the additional amount to the Park Improvement Fund
balance.
The best, most inexpensive solution is to run nine new return lines and abandon the old ones.

Amendment No. 4 to Agreement No. 03-156 with Gilliam & Sons, Inc. ($350,000 increase,
for a revised not to exceed compensation amount of $1,420,000) for earthmoving and
hauling services.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Amendment.
BACKGROUND: On June 11, 2003, the City Council approved the annual contract for earthmoving,
hauling, and equipment rental for $320,000.
On March 24, 2004, the City Council approved Amendment #1 to this Agreement for emergency levee
repairs required at Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 effluent storage reservoir, increasing the compensation
by $200,000.
On May 12, 2004, the City Council approved Amendment #2, increasing the compensation by $250,000.
This amount was based upon certain expectations of timing with regards to the pumhase of new
equipment. Since the new equipment was not placed into service when anticipated, equipment had to be
rented from the contractor longer than anticipated.
On December 15, 2004, the City Council approved Amendment #3 to this Agreement for additional
equipment rental, increasing the compensation by $300,000. This Amendment occurred as an unforeseen
result of the U.S. military need for heavy equipment tires. Therefore, it was necessary to rent equipment
longer than originally estimated.
The original Agreement provided for a one year extension with no increases in unit pricing. The
Agreement was extended to June 13, 2005. Staff is currently working on the necessary documents to
send this item out to bid soon, with the new annual contract scheduled for the June 8, 2005, council
agenda. Staff estimates that an additional $350,000 in compensation is needed to cover expenses until
the current Agreement expires. The $350,000 is the estimated collective needs of the Water Resources
Department, Streets Division, and Solid Waste Division. In addition, funds are also needed for
earthmoving and hauling services at The Park at Riverwalk project site.

Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Preparation for Panama-Gosford Project:

Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 04-118 with RBF Consulting ($40,375.00) to
prepare an EIR for GPNZC 04-0057.
Appropriate $40,385.00 developer's contribution to the development fund for the
Development Services operating budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendment to the agreement and appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
The Panama-Gosford EIR project is an 300-acre mixed use (residential, commercial, light
industrial) development at the southwest corner of Panama Lane and Gosford Road. Staff is
currently processing an Environmental Impact Report for the project.
This is a very complex land use project which necessitated considerable unforeseeable
environmental work for comments received for the Draft EIR. This has caused increases in
consultant time and materials. In light of this, the developer is being required to provide an
additional $40,375.00 to offset costs by the consultant for the preparation of the EIR. The
original contract (04-117) with Gosford Panama Partners on May 12, 2004, was for $162,261.00
of which $124,816.00 was for RBF Consulting to prepare the EIR and $37,445.00 for staff's
time. The original contract (04-118) with RBF Consulting on May 12, 2004, and the City was for
124, 816.00, to prepare the EIR.
This action will increase the contract with RBF Consulting to $165,191.00 and the total
contribution from Gosford Panama Partners to $202,636.00

Appropriate $105,000 Off Street Parking fund balance to the Economic Development
operating budget for current fiscal year operation management costs of the 18~h & Eye
Parking Structure. (WARD 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the appropriation.
BACKGROUND:
During the fiscal year 2003-04 budget review, staff completed an analysis of the parking fund, in particular
the operating expenses associated under the existing agreement with AIIright Parking. As a result, staff
concluded that over the past few years, operating expenses continued to exceed revenues at the 18th and
Eye parking structure in the range of $30,000 to $50,000 per year. In an effort to address these concerns,
Economic Development, Public Works and Finance Department staff met with a security consultant to
discuss operating and safety options relating to the possible automation of the structure. Subsequently, it
was determined that it would be more financially feasible to purchase the automation equipment and
operate the parking structure with a City Account Clerk staffed within the Finance Department.
Public Works prepared the bid documents in May, 2004 with the bid opening held in June, 2004. As a
result of this process, there was one apparent successful bidder who after several months was unable to
produce the required insurance bonds to perform the work. Public Works is currently in the process of re-
bidding the automation equipment. Staff anticipated that the automation process would occur during the

SUBJECT:
Quitclaim Deed with David M. and Maria H. Mendoza for City's right, title'and interest only
in and to the lands formerly occupied and/or encumbered by the "Castro Ditch" real
property located on Alamo Street near Mona Way (Unincorporated).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends execution of the quitclaim deed.
BACKGROUND:
The City's Kern River water rights and property purchase from Tenneco West, Inc. on December 22, 1976,
included easements pertaining to what was known as the Castro Ditch. A request to quitclaim the City's
easement for the "Castro Ditch" described as parcels 2, 3, and 4 of Parcel Map 6573 (Assessor's Parcel
Numbers 149-250-47, 149-250-48, and 149-250-49) has been requested on behalf of the overlying
property owner (Mr. David Mendoza), to allow construction of single family residences on the lots. The
headgate of the Castro Ditch was removed and the pipeline sealed and abandoned as a result of
development over 10 years ago. In consideration of executing the quitclaim deed, owner will sign a
covenant to this property requiring the property to be annexed into the City of Bakersfield as soon as it
may be included in an annexation which is contiguous to City boundaries. City will charge a $1000.00
administration fee to process the attached quitclaim deed.

SUBJECT:
Resolution ordering the vacation of Progress Road between Harris Road and Panama Lane
within Section 20, T.30S., R.27E., M.D.M. (Ward 5)
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution.
BACKGROUND: Porter Robertson, on behalf of McMillin Albany, LLC, developers of Tract No. 6169
(Phases 1 through 8), has requested the vacating of a portion of Progress Road in compliance with the
conditions of their approved Tentative Maps for the tracts. The approved Tentative Maps show that
Progress Road shall be vacated from Harris Road and Panama Lane.
Progress Road between Harris Road and Panama Lane is not designated as an Arterial or Collector under
the Circulation Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan.
The City Fire, Police, Public Works, Water Resources, Development Services, and Economic
Development Departments have been notified and none have objected to the proposed vacation. Public
Works notes that no City sewer or storm drain facilities are in the vacating area.
The utility companies serving the area have been notified by mail and have indicated they have no
facilities in the vacating area.
All property owners within a radius of 300 feet of the vacating area have been mailed a preliminary notice
of the proposed closing and none have indicated any objections as of the date of this report.
The proposed vacation was heard by the Planning Commission at its meeting of October 12, 2004, and
was found to be consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan pursuant to Government
Code 65402.
It was determined that this action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of CEQA guidelines (general rule), because there is no possibility
that the action may have a significant effect on the environment.
Resolution of Intention No. 1358 declaring intention to order said proposed street vacation was adopted by
City Council at the regular meeting of March 30, 2005.
Notice of this public hearing has been duly advertised and posted as required by law.
