Council appointed Jacob M. Hall to the Police Civil Service Board and appointed Patrick Bowers and Jerry Edwin Fernandez to the miscellaneous civil service board; the consent calendar (items 7A–7J) passed unanimously.

The Bakersfield City Council conducted a series of appointments and approved its consent calendar on Feb. 11.

The council also filled two at-large positions on the miscellaneous civil service board and appointed Patrick Bowers and Jerry Edwin Fernandez.
