DECLARING
FEBRUARY 2025
“KERN COUNTY GRAND JURY AWARENESS MONTH”
Whereas, the Grand Jury is one of the oldest government institutions in our jurisprudence, devised to check the excesses of the English monarchy and to ensure the rights of the accused; and
Whereas, the California Constitution, adopted in 1879, provided “that a Grand Jury shall be drawn and summoned at least once a year in each county; and Whereas, the California Grand Jury is an arm of the Superior Court; and Whereas, the Grand Jury acts as the public‘s “watchdog” by investigating and reporting on affairs of local government and recommending ways local governments can be more efficient, effective, transparent, and accountable; and Whereas, the Kern County Grand Jury is a body of nineteen citizens and is a diverse group of men and women with a wide range of backgrounds and interests who make a commitment to serve a minimum of twenty hours per week for a twelve month term.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Taft, does hereby join other cities in proclaiming the month of February, 2025, as Kern County Grand Jury Awareness Month and encourage all citizens to consider volunteering for the Kern County Grand Jury.

Dated this 4th day of February 2025.

AGENDA MATTER:

In 1994, the City Council established several standing committees, each of which has been delegated certain responsibility to review issues within its area of expertise and to make recommendations to the full City Council concerning issues. Per Policy and Procedures Manual Section 101, the City Council traditionally reorganizes every two (2) years after an election has been certified and then Committee appointments are made.

1) Finance Committee (2 members – 1 alternate)
2) Personnel/Administrative Committee (2 members – 1 alternate) 3) Public Works Committee (2 members – 1 alternate)
4) Safety Committee (2 members – 1 alternate)
5) Traffic Committee (1 members – 1 alternate)
6) Economic Development Committee (2 members – 1 alternate) Ad Hoc Committees:

Prior Ad Hoc Committees are being dissolved at this time as they were formed in response to requests of former Council Members no longer serving and the neither ad hoc had met in over 4 years. If a Council Member would like to form an ad hoc committee in the future to address a local need or concern, a request to do so can be brought during the future agenda requests portion of any meeting.

In addition to the above committees, there are the following:
• League of California Cities Legislative Delegate Program – Legislative Delegate (1 position) • Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) (1 member – 1 alternate) • City Selection Committee (Mayor serves as the 1 member per Gov. Code) • Valley-Wide Special City Selection Committee (1 member – 1 alternate) • LAFCO - None needed until Taft’s rotation comes back around • Kern Economic Development Corporation Board Member (1 member)
