OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
September 12, 2014 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager Subject: General Information AT
Good News:
The highly erratic quarterly sales tax receipts the City has experienced over the past
two years appears to be stabilizing. The most recent quarterly sales tax report showed
a 5.57% increase compared to the same quarter in the previous year. Finance Director
Nelson Smith has provided a memo for your convenience. Data by industry type will
be available in the future.
This week the City received news that it has been awarded a grant by the U.S.
Department of Fish and Wildlife Service in the amount of $717,271 to be used for
completion of the new Bakersfield Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). This is
third such grant awarded to the City; the two preceding grants totaled $1,043,594.
This grant will be used to complete the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) related to
the new HCP, and now provides adequate funding to complete the project. It is
currently anticipated the HCP and EIR will be ready for review by the Planning
Commission in Spring, 2016. The term of the City’s current HCP expired last month, but
an interim plan was negotiated until the new HCP is completed and adopted. The HCP is critical to new development, as it provides predictable requirements that
developers need to follow in order to mitigate the potential taking of wildlife habitat in
conjunction with development projects.
The City of Bakersfield and Kern County are partnering on their water conservation
message. The two logos, “Mind the Tap” and “Every Drop Counts”, will now show both
the City and County seals to reflect a partnership and to raise awareness in the
importance of conserving water.
Miscellaneous News:
Fresno City Council rejects planning grant rather than favor high-speed rail
Fresno's City Council reportedly chose by a tough, close vote at its August 21st meeting
to turn down $1 million in planning grants for the city's projected high-speed rail
station. The Fresno Bee reported at http://bit.ly/1lSTo4F that while Mayor Ashley
Swearengin supported the high-speed rail program, several City Council members
opposed it intensely, viewing it as a misplaced use of money alongside local drought-
worsened hardships.
General Information
September 12, 2014 Page 2
The August 21st vote was Swearengin's second try to get the planning grant through
after a prior rejection. In discussing the issue's history August 10th, reporter George
Hostetter wrote in the Bee that "station planning in Fresno has turned into a proxy for a
bigger fight on the bullet train's life or death." (See http://bit.ly/1wfPsM8). The Fresno
County Board of Supervisors voted to oppose the whole high-speed rail project in July.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Nelson K. Smith, Finance Director
DATE: September 12, 2014
SUBJECT: Quarterly Sales Tax Update
We received the most recent quarterly sales tax data, which reflects the activity and
sales during the months of April, May and June 2014. The quarterly and annual trend
information is as follows:
Unadjusted Gross quarterly data
Comparing the most recent quarter with the same quarter last year –
positive (+) 5.57 %.
Unadjusted Gross annualized data
Comparing the most recent four quarters with the prior four quarters –
positive (+) 2.20 %.
While the 2nd quarter figures for both 2013 and 2014 appear to be accurate, three of
the past eight quarters have been impacted by mis-allocations of the countywide tax
receipts. These errors, which either have been or will be corrected by the State Board
of Equalization, tend to skew the quarterly figures compared to what is actually
happening in our community regarding sales tax generation. We would therefore like
to provide you with what we believe are the “adjusted” numbers, which we believe
are a more accurate representation of our ultimate sales tax revenues for the past
several quarters of data as follows:
Adjusted quarterly data
Comparing the most recent quarter with the same quarter last year – positive (+) 5.57 %.
Adjusted annualized data
Comparing the most recent four quarters with the prior four quarters –
positive (+) 3.71 %.
As you may recall, staff made several last minute adjustments to the FY 2014-15
budget based on sales tax results from the previous quarter, amending the 2013-14
estimate from 6.0% to 2.0% and holding the 2013-14 estimate at 3.0% for the new fiscal
year. We now can see the actual results for 2013-14 were on target at + 2.20% and the
adjusted annualized trend supports the budgeted a 3.0% growth factor for the 2014-15
fiscal year.
Data by industry type will be provided separately and staff will continue to closely
monitor this very important General Fund revenue source.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
DATE: September 12, 2014
SUBJECT: Soil Samples
The soil sampling to be performed along the 24th Street corridor during the next two
weeks is only for engineering properties. The analysis performed in response to
comments determined that the Air Quality Mitigation Measures outlined in the final
environmental document reflect measures generally given for minimizing the risks of
contracting Valley Fever. Therefore, testing will not be performed for the coccidioides
spores.
At the City Council public hearing, Dr. Claudia Jonah advised moistening the soil and
that is consistent with various Valley Fever websites, which advocate the control of dust.
I’ve included links below. Dust control during construction is always a top priority, and
mitigation measures were included in the environmental document. Mitigation
Measures AQ 1 – AQ 5 from the environmental document are attached to this email. California Department of Public Health Preventing Work-Related Coccidioidomycosis Brochure
http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/hesis/documents/coccifact.pdf
How do employers know if the fungus is present in soil at their worksites?
• The Valley Fever fungal spores are too small to be seen by the naked eye, and
there is no reliable way to test the soil for spores before working in a particular
place.
• When soil will be disturbed by heavy equipment or vehicles, wet the soil before
disturbing it and continuously wet it while digging to keep dust levels down. What you need to know about Valley Fever in California Brochure http://www.cdph.ca.gov/HealthInfo/discond/Documents/EnglishValleyFeverBrochure.
pdf
• When working or playing in areas with open dirt: Wet down soil before disturbing
it to reduce dust.
Councilmember Maxwell inquired about the possibility of geo-technical
crews working along 23rd and 24th Streets to obtain subsurface soil samples
to determine if the coccidiomycosis spore was present.
Center for Disease Control http://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/coccidioidomycosis/causes.html
• I’m worried that Coccidioides is in the soil near my home. Can someone test the soil to find out if the fungus is there?
No, in this situation, testing soil for Coccidioides isn’t likely to be useful because the
fungus is thought to be common in the soil in certain areas. A soil sample that tests positive for Coccidioides doesn’t necessarily mean that the soil will release the fungus
into the air and cause infection. Also, there are no commercially-available tests to
detect Coccidioides in soil. Testing soil for Coccidioides is currently only done for
scientific research.
• Testing soil for research
Scientists sometimes test soil or other environmental samples for Coccidioides to
understand more about its habitat and how weather or climate patterns may affect its
growth. The available methods to detect Coccidioides in the soil don’t always detect
Coccidioides spores even if they are present. However, new tests are being developed
so that researchers can better detect Coccidioides in the environment.
Chapter 2 Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences,
and Avoidance, Minimization, and/or Mitigation Measures
24th Street Improvement Project FEIR/EA 226
Avoidance and Minimization Measures
AQ-1 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Regulation VIII, Control
Measures for Construction Emissions of Particulate Matter Less than 10
Microns in Size, shall be implemented at all construction sites. Per San
Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Regulation VIII, Rule 8021,
a fugitive dust control plan shall be submitted to the Air Pollution Control
Officer of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District before the
start of any onsite construction activity.
AQ-2 The project contractors shall implement the following feasible measures:
Enhanced Control Measures
Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour.
Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff
to public roadways from sites with a slope greater than 1 percent.
Additional Control Measures
Install wheel washers for all exiting trucks, or wash all trucks and
equipment leaving the site.
Install wind breaks at the windward side(s) of construction areas.
Suspend excavation and grading activity when winds exceed 20 miles
per hour.
Limit the area subject to excavation, grading, and other construction
activity at any one time.
Heavy-Duty Equipment (scrapers, graders, trenchers, earthmovers,
etc.) Measures
Use alternative-fueled equipment or catalyst-equipped diesel
construction equipment.
Minimize idling time (such as 5 minutes maximum).
Limit the hours of operation of heavy-duty equipment and/or the
amount of equipment in use.
Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents
(provided they are not run via a portable generator set).
Curtail construction during periods of high ambient pollutant
concentrations; this may include stopping construction activity during
the peak hour of vehicular traffic on adjacent roadways.
Chapter 2 Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences,
and Avoidance, Minimization, and/or Mitigation Measures
24th Street Improvement Project FEIR/EA 227
Implement activity management (such as rescheduling activities to
reduce short-term impacts).
AQ-3 All trucks that are to haul excavated or graded materials onsite shall
comply with California Vehicle Code Section 23114, with special attention
to Sections 23114(b)(F), (e)(2), and (e)(4) as amended, regarding the
prevention of such materials from spilling onto public streets and roads.
AQ-4 The contractor shall adhere to the Caltrans Standard Specifications for
Construction (Sections 10 and 18, Dust Control; and Section 39-3.06,
Asphalt Concrete Plant Emissions).
AQ-5 Before applying for a final discretionary approval, the City of Bakersfield
shall comply with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
Regulation IX, Mobile and Indirect Sources, Rule 9510, Indirect Source
Review, and submit an Air Impact Assessment to the San Joaquin Valley
Air Pollution Control District.
Climate Change
Climate change is analyzed in Chapter 3 under the California Environmental Quality
Act Evaluation. Neither the Envrionmental Protection Agency nor the Federal
Highway Administration has come out with explicit guidance or methodology to do
project-level greenhouse gas analysis. As stated on the Federal Highway
Administration’s climate change website (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep///htm),
climate change considerations should be integrated throughout the transportation
decision making process from planning through project development and delivery.
Addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation up front in the planning process
will facilitate decision making and improve efficiency at the program level, plus
inform the analysis and stewardship needs of project-level decision making.
Climate change considerations can easily be integrated into many planning factors,
such as supporting economic vitality and global efficency, increasing safety and
mobility, enhancing the environment, promoting energy conservation, and improving
the quality of life.
Because there have been more requirements set forth in California legislation and
executive orders on climate change, the issue is addressed in the California
Environmental Quality Act chapter of this environmental document and may be used
to inform the National Environmental Policy Act decision. The four strategies set forth
by Federal Highway Administration to lessen climate change impacts correlate with
