BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — In the city of Bakersfield, voters will make a decision on Measure L which was inadvertently left out of the voter information guide.
If approved, Measure L would require the candidates for the city's police and fire chief positions to be appointed by the city manager with candidates for police chief coming from a list submitted by the county commissioners.
To be eligible to be police chief the candidate must have five years of experience as a regularly paid peace officer.
