Notable Items
The recent quarterly sales tax information (see attachment) from this past Christmas
season shows a decrease of 1.93% in comparison to adjusted numbers for the same
quarter last year. Unfortunately, that leaves the year to date comparison at a growth
level of only 1.56% which is below our budget projection for the year. This data is prior
to any impacts from the oil pricing/layoff circumstances that are likely to be
reflected in future quarterly distributions.
The new information regrettably underlines the need for fiscal constraint in connection
with preparation of the upcoming budget.
Good News
Rabobank Arena and AEG are on a roll! Recently Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull sold
out. Fleetwood Mac is also expected to be a sold out show on April 6th. Other
shows expected to do extremely well include:
o Florida Georgia Line on August 27th.
o Juanes on July 28th
o Varekai, from Cirque Du Soleil from April 1st - 5th
o Marvel Universe Live from May 7th – 10th
Yesterday, AEG announced that the Eagles have been booked for May 26th. The
Eagles sold out when they played here years ago and they may well be more
popular now than they were then.
Thanks to the entire AEG team!
Great news! Bakersfield will host CIF Wresting for five more years! CIF announced
Saturday night that Bakersfield's Rabobank Arena will remain the home of the CIF
Boys State Wrestling Championships through 2020. This is a great economic
booster to our City as hotels and restaurants are always full!

BOYS WRESTLING STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS TO REMAIN AT RABOBANK ARENA THROUGH 2020
Annual Event Held at Rabobank Arena Since 2004
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Executive Director
Roger Blake today announced Rabobank Arena, Bakersfield will remain the home of the CIF Boys Wrestling State Championships through 2020.
“It is a pleasure to be able to host this event for another five years,” said Manager of the
Bakersfield Convention and Visitors Bureau David Lyman. “Bakersfield remains committed to providing CIF with the highest quality venue, along with a supportive community to again
welcome CIF wrestlers and their families to our city.”
The CIF accepted bid proposals from sites across the state in 2014. Official site visitations
have concluded and the CIF Executive Committee will vote, on March 26, to affirm the recommendation to extend the agreement with Bakersfield.
“CIF and our almost 800,000 student-athletes are grateful to the city of Bakersfield, its
community and Rabobank Arena for their commitment,” said CIF Executive Director Roger
L. Blake. “We are proud to continue to call Bakersfield the home of the CIF Boys Wrestling State Championships.”
The new five-year agreement will run from 2016-20. Rabobank Arena has been the site for
the State Boys Wrestling Championships since 2004.
The CIF State Wrestling Championships were initiated in 1973 and originally held at Cal
State Hayward. Cal State Bakersfield hosted the event in 1975. The championships were
held at the University of the Pacific from 1988-2003 before moving to Rabobank Arena in
2004.
Annually, 560 wrestlers from across the state compete in 14 weight classes in the double-
elimination tournament. More than 1,100 matches take place during the two-day
Championship. The top three teams overall, and the top eight finishers in each weight class,
receive awards.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
DATE: March 10, 2015
SUBJECT: Exit from Costco on Rosedale Highway
Referral No. 554
Per the request of Councilmember Maxwell, efforts have been made to contact the
property owners at the northwest corner of Rosedale Highway and SR99 to discuss his
concerns regarding the vehicle entrance to the property. The Clarion Hotel, Hungry Hunter
Restaurant, and Carl’s Jr. Restaurant were all contacted in early January via phone
call. Several phone calls were also made to Costco but no return calls were
received. Email was also sent to the addresses available on the webpage, but once again
there was no response.
On March 6, 2015 staff hand delivered a letter and diagram (see attached) to Costco. The
Warehouse Manager is temporarily out on leave so the letter was delivered to the Assistant
Manager. After some discussion he understood our concern and agreed to provide us with
an email acknowledging receipt of the letter and their thoughts on meeting with the City to
discuss the concerns regarding the entrance.
Staff will provide a follow up response following a meeting with the property owners.
Councilmember Maxwell requested that the Public Works Department
move forward with a design for an improved exit at the Costco on
Rosedale Highway.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Nelson K. Smith, Finance Director
DATE: March 12, 2015
SUBJECT: Council Referral item #564 – Indirect Costs Associated with Oil Prices
Referral – Councilmember Maxwell requested that staff determine what indirect costs
may be faced by the City in response to the drop in oil prices.
Response – On the cost side of the ledger, the City benefits from the drop in oil prices to the extent that fuel costs are lower for the fleet of vehicles operated by various city
departments. The fleet division did see fuel costs drop for several months in a row, but
rates have started creeping back up recently, so in total the fleet division does expect
to recognize some savings this year and has lowered their fuel cost estimates for next
years’ budget by $500,000. This reduction is one component rates charged to
departments, which effectively impacts departmental budgets either positively or
negatively as gas prices rise or fall.
Additionally, lower oil costs also translate into lower asphalt costs, which has a positive
impact on road construction and road maintenance projects citywide. Suffice to say
that Mr. Conners and our road crews can stretch our resurfacing program to cover
more lane miles of resurfacing when oil is selling at $50 per barrel vs. $100 per barrel.
On the revenue side of the ledger, the City generally views the drop in oil prices to
negatively impact the Kern County oil industry overall as it pertains to well production
levels and capital project investments. As we have discussed previously, the direct
impact on City property taxes due to a drop in oil prices is much smaller than the
impact on the County, as the City’s assessed value of oil is only about 1% of our total
citywide assessed valuation. To put this in a dollars perspective, if the price of oil were
to drop from $100 per barrel to $50 per barrel, the estimated direct property tax loss of
revenue to the City is roughly $100,000 a year.
We are much more interested in the “indirect” impacts that a significant drop in oil
prices might cause as the lower production levels and reduced capital efforts “ripple”
through the local economy. In response to this inquiry, various staff attended the
recent Chamber of Commerce meeting which focused on the topic of oil industry
impacts on our community given the recent drop in oil prices. Additionally, staff met
with a research analyst from Duke University who was traveling through Bakersfield
interviewing various public agencies, conducting research on oil industry impacts on
local communities.
While both of these discussions were interesting, neither resulted in any specific data
that would assist in the quantification of the indirect impacts on the local economy or
City revenues. I think we can all agree that the drop in oil prices will have some
indirect impact on City revenues, but predicting “when” it will happen or estimating
“how much” the impact will be are both rather subjective and challenging discussion
points.
City staff will certainly continue to monitor various financial indicators as best we can
and will continue to communicate any findings with the City Council.

MEMORANDUM
March 9, 2015
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Chris Huot, Assistant City Manager CH
SUBJECT: County Property Improvement Financing Program
Council Referral No. 541 Councilmember Rivera requested staff review a property improvement financing
program implemented by the County of Kern.
Summary of County Program
On February 24, 2015, the Kern County Board of Supervisors approved a program which
provides a financing mechanism to homeowners living in unincorporated areas of the
County desiring to make certain improvements to their property. The program is
designed to incentivize property owners/residents living in County Service Areas (CSA)
71 and 71.3 to invest in a sewer connection through financing of the connection fee
and assist property owners/residents living in areas where the formation of a CSA is not
a viable option to help fund the cost of specific property improvements, including curb
and gutter, sidewalk and/or block wall. Ultimately, the program allows the financing of
improvements to bring the homeowner's residential property near to, or equal with,
current County development standards.
Under this program, the cost of the sewer connection fee and/or other specific
property improvements are to be repaid by the property owner through a lien on their
property tax bill paid in equal installments over a five year period. The program is
focused on improvements to existing single-family residences and does not address the
financing of improvements that may be required as a condition of new commercial
development or improvements required as a condition of a residential housing tract.
The County program is initially funded through two separate $50,000 General Fund loans – one for sewer connections and one for other property improvements. Each
application will be reviewed by County Public Works Department staff and they will make a recommendation to the Board to approve or deny the loan, based on
feasibility and cost of the improvements being proposed.
March 9, 2015 Page 2
City Programs Sewer Connection and Construction Financing
The City has for many years recognized the financial hardship a property owner of a
single-family residence may experience from requiring a lump sum, up-front payment of
the sewer connection fee or the construction cost to extend the sewer system. Under
the City’s program, property owners of single-family residences have the option to
finance, at zero percent interest, the cost of connecting to the City’s sewer system over
a period not to exceed eight years. As a part of this process, the City Council considers
a resolution and agreement outlining the estimated costs and the term of repayment.
The fees and applicable costs are then collected annually on the property owner’s
property tax bill over the term of repayment.
When compared to the County’s sewer connection financing program, the City offers
a longer repayment period and allows the financing of both the sewer connection fee
and construction costs for single-family residences. In addition, the City’s program does
not utilize General Fund dollars for the purposes of providing any up front capital costs
to construct the sewer connection to a property. The City’s program utilizes Sewer
Enterprise Funds for this purpose.
Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Improvements
In general, most residential areas that have developed completely within the City have
proper curb, gutter and sidewalks, which were installed as a condition of each
particular development. In areas that were annexed to the City after being developed
in the County, or areas where City development standards of that time period did not
require certain improvements be made, staff evaluates and prioritizes these areas for
improvements within the City’s Capital Improvement Program on an annual basis. City
staff generally reviews these areas through a comprehensive, project-level evaluation
as opposed to a property by property basis. A project-level evaluation helps ensure that planned future improvements have logical termination points which benefit the
largest number of residents based on available funding.
In many cases, residential areas lacking sufficient curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements are eligible for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
available through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Historically, the City has allocated approximately $1 million annually in CDBG funds to
install curb, gutter and sidewalk in eligible low and moderate income residential areas. Currently, the City has over $4.7 million in CDBG funds allocated across nine active
project areas for curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements. As part of the FY 2015-16 budget process, staff is currently evaluating additional eligible areas for curb, gutter
and sidewalk improvements.
In addition to HUD funding, the City has regularly utilized local, state and other grant
funds to complete sidewalk and other basic infrastructure projects on an annual basis.

March 9, 2015 Page 3
For example, during FY 2013-14, staff completed an infill sidewalk project along Stine
Road between a senior housing community and a GET bus stop. As part of the current year CIP budget, staff is in the process of designing an infill residential sidewalk project
which will complete a stretch of sidewalk on Ming Avenue in a heavily travelled pedestrian corridor immediately east of the Valley Plaza Mall.
Furthermore, staff recently began work on updating the City’s Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan. Once complete, the plan will identify certain
infrastructure needs, including sidewalk and curb ramp improvements, throughout the
City. These projects will then be evaluated annually as part of the budget process for
inclusion as part of the CIP.
Summary
The County’s program is an effective tool for incentivizing property owners of existing
single-family residences in unincorporated areas of the County to make certain
improvements to their property. The types of improvements can greatly improve the
quality of life for not only the property owner constructing the improvements, but also
for the neighboring residents.
As the City is traditionally the jurisdiction in which denser, urbanized residential
development occurs, City standards generally require the installation of curb, gutter,
sidewalks and block walls, as well as connecting to the City’s sewer system for all new residential tracts.
There are areas of the City where single-family residences remain on septic systems
and/or lack standard curb, gutter and sidewalks. In these cases, the City currently offers an enhanced version of the County’s sewer connection financing program, whereby
City property owners of single-family residences can finance sewer improvements over a period of eight years at zero percent interest. In addition, the City has taken a
comprehensive, project-level approach to installing curb, gutter and sidewalks in residential areas of the City that currently lack those types of improvements.
