PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT FOR
TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS
City of Bakersfield
Fiscal Year 2015 -2016
The City of Bakersfield Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts are specifically described in each
of the resolutions establishing the districts and approved by the city council and all are on file in
the office of the City Clerk and incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of
Bakersfield, the Public Works Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of
and upon all parcels of property within the districts for the cost of maintaining and operating
traffic signals that benefit the various districts. The assessment includes the cost to operate,
maintain, repair and replace signal poles, mast arms, signal heads, controller, cabinet, machine
vision detection system, street light luminaries, conduits, wires and pull boxes, cost of energy,
supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation
thereof.
Developers often request permission to install traffic signals on major streets to enhance
access to their development. These "convenience" traffic signals are not required by the Traffic
Authority to regulate traffic flow, but are installed solely at the discretion of the developer of a
commercial site. Such signals do not provide a general public traffic benefit.
Under the "user pay" concept, the private property deriving benefits should bear the costs of
maintenance and operation of convenience traffic signals. On September 28, 1994 the City
Council approved Resolution 161 -94 instituting the collection of maintenance and operating
costs of future convenience traffic signals through maintenance districts.
The traffic signals that are operated and maintained under these maintenance districts
benefit the parcels within the various districts. Each parcel is assessed an amount based on
formulas set forth in each of the districts' Exhibit "C" on file with the City Clerk's Office.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, NICK FIDLER, Public Works Director of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of
the power vested in me and per direction of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Benefit
Formula and Budget for the Traffic Signal Maintenance Districts for FY 2015 -2016, attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" and "B" respectively. The Assessment Roll for the Traffic Signal
Maintenance Districts for all parcels of property within the areas of benefit of the Traffic Signal
Maintenance Districts, subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation of
the above described improvements in said territory, is on file in the City Clerk's Office.

% OF ACREAGE Each parcel within a specific district will be assessed
