[0:00] That's going to say municipality lesbian to
be concealed to learns
[0:03] it's enough job vacancies.
[0:06] 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] Depois of the motion to proceed.
[5:37] Lemme sunset.

[5:44] concerning the provision meadow Lane position
in Tex.
[5:48] Do I propose?
[5:53] No. 20. Oh.
[5:55] Excuse me.
[5:56] So you just have you the motion to attack the
the
[6:00] the regular amount of a levied marshal and
so fit

[6:08] So if item 40.2 is I give motion for item 40.2

in order to modify
[6:32] the applicable rate and index the basis of
imposition
[6:36] to $630,100.
[6:40] And I propose no, give motion to that proposed.
[6:45] So the
[6:46] bylaw is, filed and notice has been given.
[6:50] Just to give you a little bit of context, we
adjust the rate,
[6:54] for the, in common parlance, what is called
