City Council Meeting 330

Council reviews City Manager performance in closed session during routine meeting.

The Bakersfield City Council has scheduled a brief regular meeting that is largely procedural boilerplate. The agenda lists standard public comment periods, council appointments, and departmental reports without specific policy or budget items.
