Good evening and welcome to this, second special
[0:09]
meeting of the Municipal Council of the City
of Bakersfield.
[0:12]
Monday, January 19th, 2026.
[0:16]
Hello. Adoption.
[0:17]
The Lord Reggio
[0:20]
adoption of the agenda of the City of Venezuela.
[0:22]
Special Council Meeting of January 19th, 2026
at 7:30 p.m..
[0:27]
I propose I second.
[0:30]
All in favor?
[0:33]
Okay, period.
[0:35]
The question duplicate news event in question.
[0:40]
New to Madame Nicole Corrado.
[0:43]
Okay, so we get since there's a $50
[0:47]
fee for animals at the city pound who are not
license,
[0:51]
that means license animals stay there for free
with tax dollars.
[0:56]
I would like the city to post every lost and
found
[0:59]
animal at the pound on the city website
[1:03]
and effects does that and the pound location
should be published.
[1:07]
Please consider a contract with a veterinary
hospital to be the pound.
[1:12]
Instead of using the shed behind the library.
[1:16]
Miss Corrado, in recent,
[1:20]
times, last year we had 10 or 12 dogs
[1:24]
that were brought to the pound throughout the
entire year.
[1:29]
This would not warrant, the type of contract
[1:33]
that would be necessary to, bring,
[1:36]
animals to the veterinary hospital.
[1:40]
Asked for the $50 fee for animals at the city
pound.
[1:44]
They are, yes,
[1:48]
administered for those who are not license.
[1:52]
However, beacons field homeowners, who have
dogs
[1:56]
do pay for a license fee, which in part covers
that service.
[2:01]
Unfortunately or unfortunately, depending on
the point of view,
[2:05]
when a dog is brought to our holding facility
here.
[2:11]
The owner
[2:12]
usually, normally would end up with a fine
for,
[2:16]
the fact that this dog was not kept at all
times under their control.
[2:22]
So that's the answer to your question.
[2:25]
I just have another question about that. Or.
[2:28]
Mr. Ryan, I was going to say that.
[2:31]
So you put money into,
[2:35]
heating and air conditioning, a building that
is mostly used for storage
[2:40]
instead of contract for that, that is used
mostly for storage,
[2:44]
but is a city pound once a month.
[2:48]
So why wouldn't it be more cost effective to
rent out,
[2:54]
to contract out to the Sherwood vet
[2:57]
and also along with the Sherwood vet?
[3:00]
If an animal, the animal would also get health
checks and everything.
[3:04]
Bakersfield loves its animals.
[3:06]
Bakersfield does not.
[3:08]
Most beacons fielders are actually shocked
and quite disturbed that Bakersfield
[3:14]
doesn't have anything other than a garden shed
to house lost animals.
[3:20]
And people are also upset that there isn't
any adoption options, that there aren't.
[3:25]
There aren't free food banks.
[3:26]
There aren't anything to help animals that
there's no there's no animal services.
[3:32]
It's just that, you know, a pound that you
know
[3:35]
what, like it's been for the past 50 plus years.
[3:39]
Thank you for your comments.
[3:43]
Any other questions?
[3:46]
On that?
[3:51]
Nope.
[3:52]
Miss Ryan, please proceed to the microphone.
[3:58]
Yeah.
[3:58]
I'm sorry, because I know that the previous
meeting was about the budget.
[4:01]
So you weren't allowed to disclose any real
detail for contract purposes.
[4:07]
But, has there been any follow up at all
[4:10]
to our concerns that were raised at the last
meeting?
[4:14]
And what is the status like?
[4:17]
We saw the bus doing the trial run midmorning
on Montrose, struggling.
[4:23]
And, any feedback to Beacon's
[4:27]
field, miss Ryan, the,
[4:30]
I'm not going to throw the book at you, but
the rule is that
[4:34]
the questions should be limited to the items
on the agenda.
[4:38]
Oh, and but what I can tell you is that.
[4:42]
Sorry, I didn't have.
[4:43]
We will have a council meeting on
[4:45]
the 26th, and there's still, as far as I can
tell or no, a meeting
[4:50]
schedule for the next day between the SDM and
Montrose residents. Yes.
[4:55]
So we're aware that such time there is no new
development that I would be sure.
[4:59]
Okay, I appreciate that. Sorry.
[5:01]
Thank you. No problem.
[5:02]
Have a good evening. However,
[5:05]
I just want to say I can't resist this.
[5:08]
I just want to say I have never left a meeting
with so few answers
[5:14]
to my concerns.
[5:15]
And I think as a council that you should be
concerned about that.
[5:21]
Noted.
[5:21]
Thank you.
[5:26]
Item 40.1.
[5:34]

[6:32]
the applicable rate and index the basis of

[6:45]

bylaw is, filed and notice has been given.
[6:50]
