Absent: None
Mayor Winer opened the meeting by stating that this
special meeting of the Council is called solely for the purpose
of dealing in facts in connection with the McCown Brothers audit
report, and all references to personalities should be avoided. He
reminded the Council and the audience that no other subjects are to
be discussed, and that the public as well as Council comment should
be limited to the subject matter contained in the report.
Councilman Stiern asked the Mayor to read Section 41 of tile
Charter which provides for the employment of a certified public
accountant who shall examine the books, records and reports of the
City at least twice a year. Mayor Winer read this section of the
Charter and also read a Statement of Policy by the Bakersfield City
Council relating to the examination of City Accounts and Report
thereof, which was adopted by the Council in April, 1955.
Mr. Joe McCown, of McCown Brothers, certified public
accountant, was asked to make his presentation to the Council
and he began with the intermim report of February 28,. 1962, referring
to the scope of the audit and the opinions and recommendations
contained in the series of six reports covering various phases of
the financial operations of the city during the past year, which
have been submitted to the Councillor study by his firm. He
discussed each report briefly and stated that in his opinion the
adopting of the accounting changes suggested in these reports will
139
Bakersfield, California, December 4, 1962 2
provide better internal control and efficiency in the accounting
procedures of the City.
After McCown made his presentation, the City Clerk
read the report submitted to City Manager Gunn by Jack P. Ference,
Director of Finance, on an examination of the City Records by McCown
Brothers, CPA'S. Copies were furnished to the Council and Mr. McCown.
The Council commented on this report.
In order to proceed in an orderly fashion, it was moved
by Mossman, seconded by Stiern, that the Council begin with the
Firemen's Disability and Retirement Fund audit report. However, in
order to understand the operations of this Fund, it was decided that
the Chief of the Fire Department and/or some members of the Pension
Board should be present to go over the recommendations with the Council.
It was then moved by Mossman, seconded by Marchbanks, that a definite
date be set at the Council meeting of December 10, 1962, for discussing
the recommendations contained in the Firemen's Disability and Retirement
Fund Audit Report with the Chief of the Fire Department and his staff.
Mr. McCown was asked to read his recommendations in connection
with an examination of the Off-Street Parking Funds, and the Council,
the Director of Finance and Mr. McCown engaged in a discussion on each
item.

owned Off-Street parking facilities are recorded
These three deeds in question were accepted by the
Council and recorded
Written agreements be entered into covering all rentals
of Off-Street Parking facilities, other than the rental
of individual parking spaces for daily or monthly use
The Director of Finance stated that this will be done,
and upon a motion by Marchbanks, seconded by Doolin,
the Mayor was authorized to sign these agreements without
each separate agreement being presented to the City
Council for approval
A legal opinion be obtained as to which funds are to
be credited for collections received under the terms
of the operating agreement with Charles B. Webster
Bakersfield, California, December 4, 1962 - 3
The City Attorney gave his opinion that the
Highways Users Fund and the Off-Street Parking
Fund should be reimbursed for these collections,
and it was moved by Croes, seconded by Balfanz,
that the opinion of the City Attorney be followed
A legal opinion be obtained as to whether any
accounting changes are necessary to correct the
recording of the costs advanced for improving these
properties, and in accounting for the collections
received under the operating agreement during the
1961-62 fiscal year
The City Attorney gave his opinion that in order to
reimburse the Highways Users Fund and the Off-Street
Parking Fund, it will be necessary to make accounting
changes
Mr. McCown then turned to the final report submitted to the
Council on November 19, 1962 and entitled Re: "Review of Accounting
Procedures and System of Internal Control," and the 41 recommendations
contained therein were discussed and explained by the Director of
Finance and Mr. McCown. Action was taken as follows:

The offer of a local bank to handle the reconciliation of the

Inter-departmental billings for stationery and office supplies,
for the use of equipment, and for the distribution of petty cash

method of handling, is merely a matter of simplification, and
is being done administratively
Continued efforts be made to compile, as rapidly as possible, a
complete inventory of fixed assets owned by the City. (The
inventory should be valued at historical cost, where possible,
and be included in the financial statements of the City.)
This cannot be done over night. It will be compiled, but will
take some time to follow through with this recommendation

Finance stated that before setting the tax rate next year, it 'will
be decided what to do with the Employees' Retirement Fund
The City Attorney commented that no revision is nedessary to t]he
charter because by virtue of transfer to the County, it is not
necessary to maintain these funds, as the limitation is no longer
in effect

authorized to be used, the purposes of the funds, and the
restrictions on their use
