MESSAGE FROM
CITY MANAGER
BAKERSFIELD
Alan Tandy · City Manager
TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
May 8, 2002
Transmitted herein is the Proposed Fiscal Year 2002-03 Budget document. The proposed
budget reflects a strong local economy with continued increases in saJes tax, property tax
and other revenues resulting in equivalent growth in General Fund services. The City
continues to experience positive financial growth in line with population increases and local
economic conditions, contrary to the economic slowdown being experienced nationally and
throughout the state as a result of the events of September 11th and other economic
factors. State forecasters anticipate the state and national economies should begin to
grow again by mid-2002.
City departments wore asked to be conservative in their requests for increased funding
over and above current service levels to match the projected increases in revenues and
population. According to the State Department of Finance figures for January 2001, our
City population has grown to 254,368. Sales taxes have continued an upward trend with
a consistent increase during the current year. Sales tax revenues are projected to increase
by approximately 6.0% in the next fiscal year. Property taxes have remained stable,
increasing about 3%. Motor Vehicle In-Lieu revenue is estimated to increase
approximately 11%. The general budgetary picture continues a trend of moderate but
consistent economic growth.
The City has continued work on imper[ant community projects, including the attraction of
two grocery stores to southeast Bakerefietd; development of Senior Housing near the
downtown; continued community odented policing efforts with the completion of a Police
Strategic Plan and the planned opening of two Police Satellite Offices, one in South
Bakersfield and one in the Lakeview area; the planned construction of a Police substation
in Southwest Bakersfield combined with Fire Station #15; the commitment of Community
Development Block Grant Funds for economic development efforts in Southeast
Bakersfield and Baker Street areas; completion of the Southeast Charrette; additional
street scape, and median improvement projects to improve safety and promote pride in our

community; the planned construction of a new aquatic and ice facility; the completion of
two new monument entry signs for the City; major road repair and reconstruction efforts;
significant park and open space projects along the Kern River; work towards completion
of a Specific Plan for the Northeast Hills Preservation and maintaining quality service
throughout the City. This budget will continue to build on these activities and successes.
BUDGETOUTLOOK
Poeitive Note~
The City Council recently updated its goals for the City including strategies from the Vision
2020 Report and this budget incorporates items consistent with the updated Council Goals.
Positive local economic trends will allow the City to maintain service levels within available
revenues as well as address additional personnel needs to deal with growth. This is
reflected in the number of new positions approved for the coming year and the
departments for which they are recommended. This year, we are adding 52 new positions
to the budget (14 of which were authorized by the Council at vadous times during the
current fiscal year after the adoption of the 2001-02 budget) within Police, Fire, Public
Works, Recreation and Parks, Development Services, Economic and Community
Development, the Mayor's Office, City Clerk and Management Information Services.
The Police Department has planned for a $1 million upgrade of the Computer aided
dispatch system which was funded by $800,000 from a U.S. Department of Justice grant
and asset forfeiture funds. This project will enhance the recent upgrade of the Records
Management System and the new Mobile Data Computers. With the implementation of
these new systems, our Police Department will be one of the first police agencies in the
Western United States to have a fully integrated dispatch, field reporting and records
management information system. Funding for the operation of Police Satellite Offices in
South Bakersfield and Lakeview areas are included in the budget. The department is also
adding a Lieutenant position to coordinate the City's disaster preparedness efforts and
interagency intelligence efforts including Homeland Security.
The Fire Department continues to sst aside funds for future construction of a new fire
station in the northeast area of the City. Additionally, funds are budgeted to complete the
second phase of additional staffing, the purchase of an Engine and construction of the
new southwest fire station.
Public Works is continuing the implementation of phase I of a Citywide street
rssurfacing/reconstruction program to make significant road repairs throughout the
community. Progress continues to be made in repair work, with the recent purchase of
vi
Honorable Mayor and City Council
2002-03 Proposed Budget - Letter of Transmittal
May 8, 2O02
the Road Reclaimer/Soil Stabilizer and Asphalt Paving machines. Public Works has
budgeted $1,180,000 for street resurfacing materials from the Gas Tax Fund. These
funds, combined with other mad monies, will provide over $2.8 million for reconstruction
and resurfacing projects Citywide. There is also $21.9 million budgeted toward the
Westside Parkway for right of way and environmental work and $15 million budgeted for
the Fairfax/State Route 178 interchange from federal I STEA road funds. Staff is continuing
to pursue efforts through the state and Kern COG to utilize savings from changes to the
Westside Parkway project to provide needed additional road maintenance funds for the
City. Funds have also been budgeted for a highway landscape improvement master plan
consistent with the Mayor's efforts to improve the landscaping of local highways and
freeway corridors.
Of particular note, there are no increases proposed for refuse, water or sewer user rates
this year, with the exception of a few sewer users that are having their rates phased in over
several years to bring them into compliance with state requirements.
Staff has also included in the budget the proposed rehabilitation of the Martin Luther King,
Jr. Pool and the Jefferson Park Pool, a new Aquatic Facility, an Ice Facility and Special
Community Projects for Southeast Bakersfield. These proposed projects are funded
through a combination of CDBG funds, Section 108 Federal financing, Park Development
Fees, Proposition 12 State Park Bond funds, and contributions by various groups and
individuals. Aisc included are Baker Street projects funded by an EDI grant. These
projects present an opportunity to leverage various state and federal funding sources with
local revenues to addmse important local projects. The total budgeted for these projects
is over $12 million for 2002-03.
Park Improvement funds and State Park Bond grant funds are proposed for the
development of the 30 acm park located south of the Kern River at Stockdale Highway.
Additional funds from the Park Bond Act are being sought on a competitive basis by the
Recreation and Parks Department. $2,2 million has been budgeted for this new
community park along the Kern River Parkway. Staff has included funds for a skate park
in Southwest Bakersfield. These funds may need to be supplemented with private
contributions in order to construct a facility depending on the final size, configuration and
location of the skate park.
Operation of Bakersfield Centennial Garden and Convention Center by SMG continues to
be successful, The addition of the Bakersfield Blaze arena football team and major events
such as Champions on Ice, the Los Angeles Lakers, and a variety of musical concerts and
events continues the tre nd of providing diverse and quality ante rtai nme nt at these factlities.
Their management of the Centennial Garden and Convention Center is projected to result
in a savings of $661,060 for fiscal year 2002-03, as compared to the last year of operating
vii

the Convention Center prior to privatization. Funds have also been included in the C lP to
make various maintenance repairs and improvements to the Convention Center and Arena.
Staff has received requests from several non-profit groups. Requests were received from
the Bakersfield Senior Center, Bakersfield Symphony, Bakersfield Museum of Art and the
Golden Empire Gleaners. $50,000 in CDBG funds have been designated for the Senior
Center and staff is processing their application for funding. $46,000 has been budgeted
for the Symphony to offset their rental of the Convention Center similar to past years.
Requests by the Bakersfield Museum of Art and the Golden Empire Gleaners are currently
being considered by the Budget and Finance Committee and are not included in the
proposed budget.
Funds are included in the budget to provide the City's final payment of $500,000 to the
County towards construction of a new terminal at the Kern County Airport.
A total of $568,480 has been set aside in Council Contingency. Council Contingency
allows for additional flexibility for items that wil~ require Council approval outside the normal
budget process. Consistent with past Council policy, $1 Million hasbeen set aside in the
Facilities Replacement Reserve.
Considerations
As this budget was being prepared, the Governor's proposed State budget was being
revised to reflect updated information, and any changes will be submitted to the legislatu re.
Due to the impacts of the events of September 11 Ih and the general slowdown of the state
and national economies, the State is anticipating a significant drop in revenues. The
possible state budget sho~all has been estimated as high as $20 billion. It is uncertain
what the State will do to address such a significant budget shortfall. The Governor's
proposed budget did not include any additional funding for cities, nor any ERAF relier. On
the positive side the Governor has pledged not to eliminate the backfill of Vehicle License
Fees which would adversely affect cities. However, it remains very uncertain if any
revenue reductions which would impact cities will be included in the State budget as
revised by the Governor or through legislative action. Staff continues to monitor the State
budget process and work with the League of California Cities on these funding issues.
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
The total proposed appropriations for FY 2002-03 for both operating and capital
expenditures is $328,422,547, including $21,054,095 in intedund transfers. The operating
budget is proposed at $247,106,032, which reflects a 3.6 percent increase over
viii
Honorable Mayor and City Council
2002-03 Proposed Budget - Letter of Transmittal
May 8, 2002
FY 2001-02. Total proposed appropriations in FY 2002-03 for all City funds reflect an
increase of about $50.4 million or 18.1 percent moro than FY 2001-02. About 83% of the
incroase is within the Capital Improvements Program.
The City's budget is organized by groups of funds. Each fund is considered a separate
accounting entity with its own assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses. The major
fund groups and some divisions within the funds are described below, highlighting any
significant changes over the prior year.
GenerslFund
Major revenue sources for the General Fund are roal and personal property tax, sales and
use tax, business licenses tax, utility franchise tax, licenses and permits, State motor
vehicle in lieu tax, miscellaneous charges for sewices and interdepartmental charges.
General Fund Revenues are projected at $116,200,000 (including $8.8 million in
beginning fund balance end transfem). This is an increase of about $9.62 million,
or about 9.0% above adopted budget revenues for the 2001-02 fiscal year. Items
contributing to General Fund revenues include: $47.4 million in sales and use
taxes, $20.7 million in property tax, $8.65 million in other taxes and fees and
approximately $30.65 million in various other revenues.
General Fund Expenditures am projected at $116,200,000, including $3.2 million
in transfers to other funds. This is a 9.0% increase over the FY 2001-02 adopted
budget General Fund expendituros of $106,583,000. In addition to ongoing
operating expenses, new personnel costs are estimated at $3,157,311, and
$568,480 has been set aside for Council Contingency.
Cash Basis Reserve is used for the purpose of placing the City, as nesrty as
possible, on a cash basis to avoid borrowing for operating purposes. In addition,
the Cash Basis Reserve acts as a revolving loan account, which makes short-term
cash advances to other funds that experience a temporary cash deficit. During the
first four to five months of any fiscal year, exgenditu res may exceed revenues in the
General Fund. This is due primarily to the first large payment of the City's sham of
property taxes from the County that occurs in mid to late December. The cash
basis reserve balance as of June 30, 2002 is estimated to be $6.75 million and will
be increased by any interest earned by the Reserve Fund during the 2002-03 fiscal
year, which is estimated to be $270,000.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
2002-03 Proposed Budget - Letter of Transmittal

S~oecial Revenue Fund~_
Special Revenue Funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are
restricted to expenditure for a specific purpose. Examples am Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG), Gas Tax, Intermodal Surface Transportation Funds and the new
Transient Lodging Tax Fund.
Community Development Block Grant comes from the Federal Government for the
elimination of slums and blight, housing conservation, and improvements of community
services. Our allocation of CDBG funds for FY 2002-03 is $3,110,000 and HOME funds
is $1,411,000. These funds will primarily be spent on housing and capital projects such
as street repaim, sidewalk improvements, street lighting, and upgrading of park facilities.
The proposed budget includes $715,000 for acquisition and demolition of deteriorated
industrial/commercial/residential properties in economically distressed areas for economic
development; $500,000 for Jeffemon Park Pool rehabilitation; $470,400 for Martin Luther
King, Jr. Park Pool rehabilitation; $249,000 for streetscape improvements on North Chester
Avenue in front of the Kern County Museum; $199,000 for street improvements in the Casa
Loma #6 area; $154,000 for Wall Street Alley improvements; $148,915 for sewer
improvements in the Pacheco #10 area; $142,000 for Jeffemon Park playground
improvements; $125,000 for two portable buildings at Lowell Park; $108,000 for the Police
Activities League for two modular classrooms for tutorial instruction and administrative
offices; $85,000 for the Southeast Bakemfield Police Substation; and $50,000 has been
designated for the Bakersfield Senior Center.
Transient Lodging Tax Fund was established in July 1998 to account for the general
revenues provided by a 12 pement room tax (M.C. 3.40) and the operation and debt
related to the Convention Center and Arena. This includes the contract with SMG for
privatization of the operations of the facilities. Revenues from operation of the complex go
into this fund. This fund also includes debt service payments on the arena. Surplus TLT
funds at year end have been budgeted to maintain other general City operations. The
proposed budget includes a contribution to the Convention and Visitors Bureau of 12% of
TLT funds which is based on a request to increase their funding by 1% from the current
level of 11% of TLT funds per their agreement with the City. The budget also includes
$46,000 for the Bakersfield Symphony to offset the costs associated with their use of the
Convention Center and $30,000 for public ice skating at Centennial Garden, similar to past
yearn.
Included in the proposed budget is an increase of approximately $60,000 for the SPCA
contract to address increased costs of animal control services due to new state mandates.

CONCLUSION
We continue to work diligently to address the growing needs of our community, both in
terms of the budget and management. The staff and I continue to place a high priority on
maintaining current service levels and enhancing those which are top priorities for the
community, such as those identified through the Vision 2020 process and Council goals
including public safety, transportation and those services which improve the quality of life.
Because of conservative budgeting practices and maximum leveraging of City resources,
including obtaining State and Federal Grants, we have been able to respond quickly to new
and exciting projects in the past and lock forward to new opportunities to better serve the
community. Staff remains committed to the advancement of customer service,
intergovernmental cooperation, efficiency and cost-effectiveness by City departments and
our outstanding employees. As always, we will continue throughout the fiscal year to work
creatively, keep costs down, streamline operations, and most importantly, maintain the high
level of service that residents of the City deserve.

REVENUES
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
REVENUES
These revenues am the primary scumes which make up Genem~ Fund and Transient
Lodging Tax Fund Revenues. The first eight years of all char~s beginning with Property
Tax Revenues through Motor Vehicle-In-Lieu Revenues reflect actual data, the ninth year
is projected data based on the latest information available at budget preparation time, and
the final year is proposed. The CDBG and Home Funds chart reflects the actual
entitlement approved by the Housing and Urban Development Department, but may not
reflect the amount received by the City of Bakemfield within that fiscal year.
Property Tax Revenues- Property taxes am imposed on real propertyand tangible
personal property located within the state. Property is assessed annually on
January 1 by the County Assessor. The State Constitution limits the real property
tax rate to one pement of the propedy's value, plus rotes imposed to fund
indebtedness approved by the votem.
Cities, counties, school districts and special districts share the revenues from the
one percent property tax. The County generally atlocates revenues to these
agencies based on their average property tax revenue in the three years preceding
1978-79 and in each year thereafter according to the proportion of property tax
revenues allocated to each agency in the previous year.
When territory is incorporated into a new city, the City receives a sham of the
property tax revenues based on the costs of services assumed from other
governments and the proportion of these costs which had been funded by the
property tax, The use of property tax revenues is unrestricted,
Sales Tax Revenues - The sales tax rote is generally 7.25 pement statewide. The
City's sales tax revenue is realized from the 1.0 percent local government portion
of the total rate and the .5 percent rate (Y2 cent) increase approved by the votem
in November 1993 for public safety.
The local 1.0 percent is distributed based on "point of sate" while the ¥~ cent for
public safety is distributed 95 percent to counties and 5 percent to cities. The
one pement local sales tax revenue is distributed by the Board of Equalization.
Cities receive payments on a quarterly basis, with monthly estimated "advance"
payments and a subsequent "settlement" payment to cover the difference based on
actual collections. The 1,~ cent sales tax is distributed monthly. The largest single
classification contributing to sales tax revenues is the sale of automobiles. The
uses for sales tax am unrestricted, but must be received into the City's General
Fund.
Charges for Service - A service charge is a fee imposed upon the user of a service
provided by the City. Generally a service charge can be levied when the service
can be measured and sold in marketable units and the user can be identified. The
rationale is that certain services are primarily for the benefit of individuals rather
than the general public. Individuals benefitting from a service should pay for all or
a part of the cost of that service. Fees charged are limited to the cost required to
provide the service as prescribed by Article XlIIB of the State Constitution, These
fees are often determined by cities through a cost accounting analysis of the
specific service.
Service charges differ from license and permit fees in that the latter ara designed
to reimburse the City for costs related to the regulatory activities. Service charges,
on the other hand, are imposed to support services to individuals.
Some of the fees for service included in revenue are:
Maintenance district services - Reimbursements for costs operating
and maintaining all public improvements which benefit a specific area.
Interdepartmental charges (Self-insurance and equipment
maintenance) to account for the financing of goods and services
provided by one department to another City department on a cost-
reimbursement basis.
Arena charges - revenues received from the use of the Centennial
Garden Arena.
CDBG end HOME Fund· - The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Funds and HOME Funds are federal funds from the Housing and Urban
Development Department (HUD) and are provided to meet national objectives such
as benefitting Iow- and moderate-income families, eliminate blight and/or address
an immediate or urgent need in the community. While CDBG and HOME have the
same national objectives, they differ in focus, CDBG funds are more flexible and
can be used for a variety of purposes including capital projects, economic
development, assistance to non-profit groups and housing. HOME is designed
primarily for housing related assistance for the elderly and Iow income. The City
began receiving HOME entitlement funds in 1992-93, which accounts for the
dramatic increase in revenue beginning in that fiscal year.
22
Transient Occupancy Tax - The transient lodging tax is imposed for the privilege
of occupying a mom or rooms in a hotel, motel, or other lodging facility, unless such
occupancy is for a period of 30 days or more. The City of Bakemfield has a
transient lodging tax rate of 12 pement, which was increased from 10 pement in the
1993-94 fiscal year.
The use of revenues is unrestricted, however, some cities earmark these revenues
forcertain business activities, such as business development purposes, Convention
Bureau, etc.
License and Permit Revenue - The California Constitution gives cities the authority
to charge license and permit fees as a means of recovering the cost of regulation.
The fees which make up "License and Permits" include:
* Building permits
* Plumbing permits
* Electrical permits
* Mechanical permits
* Street and curb permits
* Other use permits, licenses
The City requires that building permits be obtained to ensure that structures meet
specific standards. The City requires various additional construction permits for
activities such as the installation of electric, plumbing, and sewage facilities, The
City charges a fee for issuing these permits in order to recover the costs incurred.
Motor Vehicle-In-Lieu Revenues - The Vehicle License Fee (VLF) is a special
license fee equivalent to two percent of the market value of motor vehicles and is
imposed annually by the state in lieu of local property taxes. Originally motor
vehicles were counted in the local property tax assessment, but for ease of
administration and conformity, the State now collects these fees through the in-lieu
tax. The revenues from the VLF are allocated to cities and counties. In 1998, the
State began a series of reductions to the VLF which have ultimately resulted in a
67.5% reduction in the fee. These tax reductions, would have resulted in significant
local government losses. Instead, the legislature has replaced the reduced VLF
revenues with General Fund allocations on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Thus, this VLF
backfill has provided cities and counties the same amount of revenue as under prior
law. Revenues derived from the motor vehicle license fee are apportioned monthly
and distributed near the 10th of each month. Section 11005(a) specifies that
81.25% of the Base VLF revenues are to be divided equally between cities and
counties and apportioned on the basis of population.
The use of revenues received from the motor vehicle in-lieu tax are unrestricted.
They are included in the General Fund to help support fire and police services, as
well as quality of life services.

2031 - Investigations
DIVISION GOAL
It is the goal of the Investigations Division to work cooperatively with all other divisions and
allied agencies as we continue to uphold a tradition of skillful and ethical criminal
investigations. We will be innovative in our use of available crime fighting technologies and
look forward to the implementation of a new Records Managements System, which should
greatly assist in the investigation process. The Special Enforcement Unit will continue to
utilize proven enfomement strategies in the investigation and suppression of criminal gang
violence.
FY 2001-02 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Investigations Division was able to maintain a 29.67% clearance rate on the
combined total of Part I Crimes reported during 2001.
The Juvenile/Sex Crimes detail continued with the Registered Sex Offender
Verification program. During the past year we conducted 585 compliance checks.
These compliance checks were conducted by detectives in the detail and by patrol
officem assigned to Operations.
The Crimes Against Persons detail receives an average of over 100 domestic
violence cases per month. The Domestic Abuse Response Team (D.A.R.T.) was
implemented in October 2001. The D.A.R.T. program is currently manned by a
Level 1 Bakersfield Police Department Reserve officer who provides transportation
to domestic violence abuse response volunteers, who provide counseling to
domestic violence victims.
One of the most significant accomplishments of the Vice/Narcotics Detail was the
seizure of 16 labs. These lab seizures not only represent a significant impact on
namotics distribution, but also represent a significant impact on public safety. A
majority of these labs were located in houses in residential neighborhoods,
exposing the occupants and neighbors to the dangers associated with the
manufacturing of methamphetamine.
in August, the BPD and DEA culminated a wiretap investigation of an Ecstacy
distribution organization in Bakersfield. Thirteen seamh warrants and fourteen
arrest warrants were served. During the course of the investigation, 8,000 Ecstacy
tablets, 1,100 grams of cocaine, 3,000 dosage units of steroids, 16 ounces of GHB,
and 100 hits of LSD were seized. Two vehicles and $30,000 were seized for asset
forfeiture.

heroin, and 5.9 pounds of marijuanawere seized bythe Kern Narcotics Enforcement
Team (KNET) during various seamhes. Other drugs, including PCP and cocaine
base, were also seized. KNET officers located one metharnphetamine laboratory
within the metropolitan Bakersfield area and seized over $181,000 in U.S. currency
pursuant to asset forfeiture statutes. The street value of the narcotics seized by
KNET exceeded $495,000.

No COLA increases proposed for sewer and refuse rates. Last year's adopted
Wastewatar Revenue Program included a 3 to 7 year phase-in period for specific
sewer users. These users will see an increase in their rates next year, but the
increase would be limited only to the amount to be phased in - No COLA
adjustments. Although refuse rates will remain constant for FY 02-03, an increase
of 2.5% will be paid to the hauling contractors according to the consumer price
index used in the agreement.
With the weight-based method for payment of the County's commercial disposal
fees, the Landfill Cap Project Reserve Fund is growing rapidly. $2.9 million is
projected es the reserve at June 30, 2003.
In conjur,~tion with the local haulers, the City is conducting a pilot program for
curt)side recycling. The program began in April, 2002. The proposed budget

Submitted for your information is the five-year proposed Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) for the period of 2002-2007, which totals $311,790,815. The CIP provides thelong-
range capital planning for projects that are expected to service the City of Bakersfield's
infrastructure over a considerable period of time. Revenue sources identified within the
CIP may be from grants, taxes, user fees, bond issues, transfers from other funds, or
assessments. Those projects proposed for FY 2002-03 total $81,316,515 and ara
designated within the following City departments:
City Manager $ 1,000,000
Development Services $ 265,000
Economic & Community Development $ 315,000
Fire Services $ 989,300
Police Services $ 400,000
Public Works $ 62,762,415
Recreation and Parks $11,531,600
Water Resources $ 3,623,200
Centennial Garden $ 430.000
TOTAL $ 81,316,$16
A listing of projects by department is included in this section and reflects all of the projects
planned by each department over the five-year period. VVhile the Council will be approving
funding for FY 2002-03 only, it is important to identify all costs for each project included
in the five-yeer plan. Projects with "unknown" funding sources have been pushed into FY
2003-04 and beyond. These projects have been identified as viable, but because of lack
213
of funding or their placement in the overall priorities of the department, they cannot be
funded this year. Should additional funds be identified, these projects are available for
inclusion back into the FY 2002-03 budget. A listing of these projects is also included in
this sectien among the future years proposed projects.
Project Highlights
The proposed Capital Improvement Program budget for FY 2002-03 totals $81,316,515.
For the coming year, our major focus will be to work towards completion of several large
multi-year projects and continue to improve and maintain our infrastructure. In addition to
the over $2.8 million for reconstruction and resuffacing projects citywide, staff is proposing
several major community enhancement oriented projects to improve recreational
opportunities. A new aquatic facility is proposed; a community ice rink; construction of Rio
Vista Park, a 30 acre community park and the rehabilitatio~upgrade of swimming facilities
at Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jefferson Pools.
The new aquatic facility is proposed for $4.2 million. This project is to construct a new
facility with a recreational 8,000 plus square feet zero entry pool with a water slide, lap
lanes and competitive swimming and diving. The project should replace underutilized and
deteriorated current facilities. The community ice rink facility is proposed for $3.5 million.
It is a single sheet of ice to provide opportunities for recreational skating for community
use. Rio Vista Park - Phase II is proposed for $2.2 million. This project is to construct a
30 acre park which includes 5 acres of recharge lakes. Phase II includes the completion
of the construction of infrastructure improvements, physical structures, pathway system,
parking and other amenities. Also, the rehabilitation/upgrade of swimming facilities at
Martin Luther King, Jr. is proposed for $470,400 and Jefferson Pool is proposed at
$600,000. The Martin Luther King, Jr. project will include replacing the filter, pump, pipes,
demolishing and replacing all decking, sandblasting and plastering the pool, installation of
sport lighting, a slide feature and other improvements. The Jefferson Pool is in need of
code-related repairs and is proposed to be enhanced by adding a si[de, spray areas and
additional water surface.
Also planned is the continuation of the upgrade of the Police Department Mobile Data
Computers for $400,000 using State Law Enfomement Grant funds.
Several departments are also requesting CIP projects in FY 2002-03. Among the more
noteworthy are:
Westslde Parkway. The largest of the proposed ClP projects is the Westside Parkway
for $21.9 million. This project is the construction of an at grade separated, access
controlled freeway from Heath Road to connect to Mohawk and along Mohawk to Rosedale
Highway. The funding proposed for this fiscal year is for the completion of the
environmental document and acquisition of right of way. Additional federal funds will be
budgeted in fiscal year 2003-04 to acquire additional right of way and preparation of plans
and specifications. It is anticipated construction wilt begin on this project in fiscal year
2006-07.

Bridge Construction Fairfax at State Route 178. $t5 million is proposed for the
construction phase of the interchange at State Route t78 and Fairfax Road as well as
extending the State Route 178 freeway east of Fairfax Road. This project is proposed to
be constructed using federal funds. This project is necessary to improve traffic flow in the
northeast area.

APPENDICES
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
OPERATING BUDGET
The City of Bakersfield's Operating Budget is a planning document that mirrors the City
Council's established goals and policies. By providing service delivery based on City
Councit Goals and Policies, City departments ensure that the activities they undertake ara
those that ara articulated by the City Council, and am important to the community.
Since the Operating Budget implements Council Goals and Policies, it is only natural that
the budget document highlight specific program service objectives and action statements
that demonstrate how those goals and policies will be realized. Annually, City departments
develop action plans that target progress toward or successful completion of Council goals.
While funding for departmental budgets is prepared using a line-item budget -- a budget
that focuses on what is to be bought -- overall decisions and long-range planning efforts
are concentrated at the program level. This essentially means that the City Council is
looking at service delivery from the perspective of providing viable, quality programs to the
citizens of Bakersfield.
Structure of the O~eratina Budset
Within each department category is a hierarchy of what constitutes the Operating Budget.
This hieramhy, which is detailed below, provides a basis for how programs are structured
and service is delivered to the community.
Goal. A goal represents a long-term condition or end result. It describes a vision or
philosophy about major social and environmental concerns of the community.
Significant Budget Changes. A significant budget change represents a major departure
from historical practice or treatment of a program or line item within a department's budget.
Action Plan. An action plan qualitatively or quantitatively identities the service to be
provided. Action plans ara specific in nature and directly correlate to achieving the results
of the department or division goal.
Service Level Indicators. The service level indicators describe in specific and
measurable terms the results a program (within a particular division) is expected to achieve
within a given time frame. Service level indicators ara derived from the action plan.
Expenditure Line Items. Within each department are divisions and programs. At these
levels is a summary of costs by personnel, general operating and capital expenditures.
