OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
August 14, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager
Subject: General Information
Good News
As a reminder, the State Route 178/Morning Drive Interchange Project will fully
open to traffic next Tuesday, August 18th, following a ribbon cutting ceremony
scheduled for 9:30 a.m. atop the new Morning Drive Bridge. In conjunction with
this event, a groundbreaking ceremony for the State Route 178 Widening Project
will also be held.
We also would like to remind you that the California High-Speed Rail Authority will
be holding a Community Open House Meeting to discuss Bakersfield F Street
Station alignment on Tuesday, August 25th at the Marriott beginning at 4:00 p.m.
This locally-generated alternative has been proposed by the City and will be
studied along with the approved Bakersfield Hybrid Alternative in a supplemental
environmental document. The Authority has been working with the cities of
Bakersfield and Shafter, as well as local residents, stakeholders and regulatory
agencies to refine an alignment that includes a station at the intersection of F
Street and Golden State Avenue. I am scheduled to make some comments at
the session about the locally generated alternative.
The locally generated alignment is straighter, faster, and less impactful than the
adopted hybrid alignment. It impacts a significantly smaller number of parcels
and City assets than the current hybrid alignment.

Notable Items
We are pleased to report that the May, June and July thunderstorms, in addition
to Kern Delta’s supply of water to the Cal Water treatment plants, has extended
the City’s water supply. Originally it was believed that water to the N. E. Treatment
Plant and to County properties would run out in late July.
The Water Department now projects that the City entitlement of water on the
Kern River will run out in late September when the City storage quantity in Lake
Isabella is exhausted unless weather conditions once again change. As previously
mentioned, this has not occurred since records were first kept on the Kern in 1894.
The Water Department will continue to attempt to identify creative ways to
minimize the impacts due to this condition. It is again, unprecedented and its
significance grows in importance over time.
I will be taking vacation September 3rd, 4th, and 8th and then the 22nd through the
29th. Steve Teglia will be in charge during the first week of my absence and Chris
Huot the second. The office will have my contact information as usual. There are
no Council meetings during those time frames.

o Exit from Costco on Rosedale Highway TRIP
Potential Delays at State Route 178 at Comanche Drive
One-way traffic control is expected to be in place at the State Route
178/Comanche Drive intersection next week, August 17th – 21st, to allow for
potholing operations in this area. The work will be performed between the hours
of 6 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The traffic control, with intermittent flagging, will affect both directions of traffic
on State Route 178. Motorists who must travel through this area should anticipate
delays, potentially lasting up to five minutes, and are advised to allow extra time
to reach their destinations. Reports

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
DATE: July 24, 2015
SUBJECT: Exit from Costco on Rosedale Highway
Referral No. 554 - UPDATE
Staff prepared a concept plan and met with all of the involved property owners (Clarion
Hotel, Hungry Hunter Restaurant, Carl’s Jr. Restaurant and Costco) regarding the above-
referenced exit. Meetings and discussions with the parties have occurred over the past 6
months, and they have resulted in an oral agreement in concept regarding the exit. Local
Costco management has agreed to install some median modifications to prohibit left-turns
out of the drive in front of the Hungry Hunter Restaurant into the exit drive heading towards
Rosedale Highway. However, Costco corporate management needs to approve of this
plan, and staff is still waiting to hear back regarding that approval. Staff has continued to
reach out to Costco staff to verify approval of the project and obtain a schedule as to when these improvements will be made; staff will provide this information once it is
received.
Councilmember Maxwell requested that the Public Works Department
move forward with a design for an improved exit at the Costco on
Rosedale Highway.
