CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM

July 30, 2010
MISCELLANEOUS CITY NEWS
� We won another round of the State Water Board issue regarding the
unappropriated water on the Kern River. I believe that makes it 6-0 or
thereabouts. This one was another delaying tactic. If it were baseball the North
Kern/Shafter group would have gone to the bullpen by now!
� The issue of whether Kern County will continue to use the tax split process for
annexations to delay and/or block City developments has been quiet for a few
weeks but is still lingering out there as a possibility. The test may come next week.
The immediate issue is Compagnoni No. 1 down by Taft Highway and SR-99. The
County has already caused a four to six month delay by not sending paperwork
to LAFCo thereby killing that annexation application. A new annexation now
has to be started and that process is slow. One element of that project is a new
California Highway Patrol facility which officials from the State Department of
General Services and Highway Patrol characterize as being extremely important.
Sewer service is criticial for this project and annexation is necessary to receive
service from the City.
Next week, we are told, the County will make a decision on whether they will
continue to honor the tax split agreement that has been in effect for over 15
years or whether, like the State, they will attempt a revenue shift from smaller
jurisdictions. The County staff did not disclose to us what their recommendation
would be.
We only have a handful of investor/developers who are still functioning in this
economy. Lets hope the County decides on a positive, cooperative path and
allows the Highway Patrol to proceed.
-� We received the enclosed letter from the Department of Energy recognizing
staff's efforts in complying with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) deadline of
June 25, 2010 for having 90 percent of the grant funds under contract and

obligated. The City is using the $3,040,700 EECBG funds for construction of a one
megawatt photovoltaic system at Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 3. The
construction project was awarded to Systems 3, Inc. for $5,359,018 on May 5,
2010. This award resulted in the obligation of 100 percent of the EECBG funds.
The encumbering of funds allows for work to begin on EECBG activities, jobs to
be created, and solar energy to be used to cut pollution.
-� The Police Department's Explorer Captain Kelsey Taylor was chosen as the
National Law Enforcement Exploring Youth Representative for the next two years.
She was chosen out of 35,000 explorers from 1,662 Police Explorer Posts across the
nation and internationally. This is a huge accomplishment equivalent to being
the president of a national organization. Kelsey will have many opportunities to
travel, participate and speak at numerous prestigious law enforcement venues.
Her first stop will be the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference
in Florida this fall.
-� The Kern River Trail cleanup, which consisted of the removal of the trees north of
the Kern River Trail from Coffee Road to Truxtun Lake was started on July 20th and
completed in four days. Staff from the Recreation and Parks and Water
Resources departments worked to remove a total of 86 trees that were cut down
and the numerous trees that had fallen due to natural circumstances, and took
51 loads to the greenwaste facility for recycling.
� A flyer with dates of free concerts at Bright House Networks Amphitheater is
enclosed. Tonight's show starts at 8:00 p.m. and features the Bakersfield Ja�
Jam. All shows are free so bring a picnic, blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy an
evening of great music under the stars!
� Two letters from AT8�T regarding programming changes for U-verse TV customers
are enclosed.
-� A letter from Bright House Networks regarding new services that will be delivered
on its Switched Digital Video system is enclosed.
-� The following reports are enclosed:
• Streets Division's weekly work schedule.
• Economic and Community Development
April 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
WESTSIDE PARKWAY UPDATE

the curb and gutter near the intersection and increasing road width to add turn
lanes in all directions. Work is expected to continue for several weeks.
� Motorists should expect the daytime closures of the northbound outside left-turn
lane on Coffee Road at Brimhali Road, and the outside westbound lane on
Brimhall Road to continue for a few more days.
BUDGET NEWS
� This was the final week of unofficial legislative summer recess has been quiet
other than closed-door budget talks between legislative leaders and their aides.
The State still has a$19 billion budget gap that it has to deal with, and Governor
Schwarzenegger thinks a deal could be struck within a few weeks. He noted,
however, that he is willing to hold out for the rest of his term if Democrats don't
agree to permanent reforms of the budget, tax system and pensions. Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg responded by saying he's willing to hold out
until 2011 if Republicans don't agree to delay corporate tax breaks and fund
welfare and school programs.
The enclosed article from the Sac Bee describes in detail the impacts of a
scaled-down version of the Governor's furlough policy that has been brought
back to deal with an impending cash crunch. According to Controller John
Chiang, unless lawmakers enact a budget soon, the state's cash would go into
the red by October. Chiang will start issuing IOUs in August or September to
conserve funds as long as possible. Like the policy that terminated June 30, 2010,
the new executive order requires certain employees to take three unpaid days
off per month and, unlike last year's policy, will terminate when lawmakers pass a
2010-11 budget.

Dear Mr. Sun,
I am writing to commend you for your hard work in ensuring that 90 percent or more of your
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) funds were obligated by June 30`n
2010.
Thank you for contributing to this important program-wide milestone. The Energy Efficiency
and Conservation B1ock Grant program is an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funded
program designed to create jobs and strengthen the economy in communities across the country
as quickly as possible. The success of the EECBG program is measured by goals such as the
number of jobs created, energy efficiency achieved, and carbon offset. By hitting this important
milestone, you have taken the first step to create jobs, accelerate economic recovery, and
diversify our energy mix to cut pollution and increase national security.
Thank you in advance for your continued efforts, cooperation, and partnership. By achieving and
exceeding both Recovery Act and EECBG targets, you have effectively demonstrated successful
progress in deploying Recovery Act funding and showcasing the value of the EECBG program at
this critical time.
As grantees who have met the obligation target you are leading the way for fellow EECBG
grantees. It is our earnest hope that you can contribute in attaining the next milestone for the
EECBG program which is a draw down of at least 20% of your funds by September 30, 2010
Please share the good news about your projects with DOE and beyond by submitting your success
stories to the Energy Empowers Web site at wwwl.eere.ener�y �ov/pnp/stories/staries aspx.

Schwarzeneqger orders more furloughs for state workers
Editor's note: This post has been
changed to specify the departments
excluded from the governor's
furlough order. It also clarifies
payroll cost savings from furloughs
last year
Less than one month after ending furloughs
for about 200,00o state workers, Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger this morning
brought back a scaled-down version of the
policy, effective Sunday.
The governor made the decision this week
after Controller John Chiang said that
unless lawmakers enacted a budget soon,
the state's cash would go into the red by October
to conserve funds as long as possible.
Chiang said he'll start issuing IOUs in August or September
"We have a fiscal crisis," Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear said this morning as he explained the
new furlough order. "We're doing what we have to do to conserve cash."
Like the policy that ended June 30, the governor's new executive order requires employees take three
unpaid days off per month. The administration figures the payroll savings will amount to $i47.2 million
per month, about $8o million of that from the general fund.
But unlike the earlier policy, this one has no termination date: Furloughs will end when lawmakers
pass a 2oio-ii budget. That could be weeks or months after the Legislature reconvenes on Monday.
The State Worker: Schwarzenegger orders more furloughs for state workers Page 2 of 4
And unlike earlier policies, the new order exempts employees who work several departments, .
specifically the Board of Equalization and the Franchise Ta�e Board, the Employment
Development Department, State Compensation Insurance Fund, the California Housing
Finance Authority and the California Earthquake Authority. Ail employees of the Highway
Patrol and the Department of Fire and Forestry Protection are also exempt.
The order doesn't explain the criteria for deciding to exclude those departments.
McLear said that the administration couldn't exclude those employees previously because the state faced
twin revenue and cash crunches.
"Last year we were in free-fall," he said, but now the revenue crunch has eased, which allows the state some
furlough flexibility.
Today's order also excludes about g�,000 state workers in six unions that recently reached tentative labor
agreements with the Schwarzenegger administration.
"We expect the Legislature to quickly ratify those contracts next week," McLear said.
Those deals contain concessions, including monthly furlough days and higher out-of-pocket employee
pension contributions, that save the state money and make furloughing those employees unnecessary,
McLear said.
As part of the agreements, the administration promised that the Legislature will enact measures that will
protect those protection from furloughs, minimum wage or both.
"We keep our promises to the unions," McLear said.
Another six unions representing about 150,00o state employees, including the 95,000-member SEIU Local
i000, haven't yet come to labor terms with the governor.
Managers and supervisors make up the remainder of the workforce. Unless they work in an exempted
department, they are subject to the furlough order.
Bruce Blanning, head of the ii,000-member Professional Engineers In California Government,
said that the move is really designed to squeeze unions like his that haven't cut similar deals.
"It's more misguided pressure from the governor on those who won't agree with his program," Blanning said.
Today's order marks the third time that Schwarzenegger has unilaterally reduced state workers'
hours and pay. In December 2008, with the state mired in a severe fiscal crisis, he directed that state
workers take off two unpaid days per month.
Several state employee unions sued to block the order, but a Sacramento court in January 2009 agreed with
The State Worker: Schwarzenegger orders more furloughs for state workers Page 3 of 4
Schwarzenegger that the crisis was an "emergency" that allowed the governor to mandate furloughs to
address it. Twice-monthly furlough days started the next month for most of California's 235,000 or so state
workers hired through the executive branch.
In June of 2009, Schwarzenegger added a third furlough day each month for the 2oo9-io fiscal year that
started July i, 2009 and ended June 30. The Legislature passed a budget that assumed the savings.
Although lawmakers failed to pass a budget last month, the governor ended furloughs as planned. Since
then, the administration has tried -- and so far failed -- to withhold state workers' pay to federal minimum
wage during the budget impasse, all the while warning that every day the state goes without a budget would
make furloughs or layoffs more likely.
In total, state workers have lost 46 days of wages to furloughs in the last i� months. One furlough day equals
4.65 percent of an employee's pay. A single furlough day last year reduced the state's payroll cost by about
$6i million, or $2.2 billion for the 2oo9-io fiscal year. About half of that was from the state's general fund,
which is the cash-strapped center of California's rolling budget crises.
Schwarzenegger has exempted a few groups, however. About u,000 Highway Patrol officers and
firefighters have never been furloughed and are again excluded this time around. The administration has
said that those jobs are too vital to pare down.
Another i6,000 employees who work for officials in statewide offices such as the treasurer, secretary of state
and the controller have also avoided furloughs. The heads of those departments say that their independence
gives them the authority to manage their own employees. All have made other cuts -- in some cases asking
employees to volunteer for furloughs -- rather than comply with Schwarzenegger's order.
That furlough dispute and others have triggered about 30 lawsuits over the last 19 months. About a half-
dozen cases are now before the state Supreme Court, which won't hear arguments until September at the
earliest.

stuck to acting, " said Gomez about the gouernor's order. Hector Amezcua/ Sacramento Bee

SUBJECT: Referral Response to the request by Councilmember Carson that staff
provide a written report on the status of the Friendship House
Council Referral No. 188
Councilmember Carson requested that staff provide a written report on the status of the Friendship
House
EDCD staff prepared a comprehensive report on the Friendship House in July 2009. The following
is an update of that report in response to Councilmember Carson's recent inquiry.
�sacKarouna on State Prop 40 Urban Park Grant
The Community Action Partnership (CAP of Kern) received a grant from the California Department
of Parks and Recreation Urban Park Act of 2001-2002 and the Murray-Hayden Urban Parks and
Youth Service Program, funded in the 2002/03 State budget in the amount of $3 million dollars and
$39,000 respectively for the design and construction of the Friendship House Youth Center. CAP of
Kern previously took title to the existing Friendship House Center, remedied outstanding tax liens
against the property, performed the required asbestos abatement in the buildings and demolished
the dilapidated buildings using their own and other grant resources. CAP of Kern then held several
community meetings, engaged an architect and engineering firm and began the development of a
new center that would be used for CAP of Kern community service offices and provide service
space to other community non-profits. The original design was developed around a plan that also
called for adjacent shared recreational facilities that were under consideration by the Superintendent
of Schools as a component of a new school under review. Due to budget constraints, the
Superintendent of Schools abandoned the plans for the school on the adjacent property. CAP of
Kern went back to the drawing board and modified their plans for a standalone project incorporating
recreation facilities in the plan.
Last year in early 2009, the State of California was again experiencing significant cash shortfalls.
Due to this cash shortfall, the State froze the funding for many construction projects including the
Friendship House Community Center project. At the time the project was frozen, the design was
nearing completion with the next step public bid. CAP of Kern estimated roughly $35,000 was
needed to complete the design phase of the project and bring it to a point where it was ready to go
to bid. There were attempts to secure other funding sources or cash flow loans to complete the
design phase of the project, but to no avail. CAP of Kern successfully worked with the City of
Bakersfield on securing the agreement for the previously pledged CDBG funding of $247,342 as
well as expanding the scope of the CDBG funding to include all aspects of the construction project.
Current Status
Once funding was reinstated from the state, the design was completed and the project was put out
for public bid. In June, 2010 authority was granted to award bid to general contractor SC Anderson.
A contract was signed with a start date of July 1, 2010.
The two state grants expired on June 30, 2010. Since the moment the state originally froze the
project funding last year, CAP of Kern has requested, and the state has given positive indications,
that a one year extension would be granted to compensate for the disruption to the schedule. After
much discussion and frustration, the state has included a one year extension for the project in the
current proposed state budget. Unfortunately at this time CAP of Kern is unable to utilize any state
funding until such time that the state budget is approved.
CAP of Kern staff has arranged a schedule and agreement with the contractor that will allow for the
normal preconstruction activity to continue while we wait for an approved state budget. The
contractor will proceed with preconstruction activities such as shop drawings, survey work,
permitting, etc. It is anticipated that this preconstruction activity will consume 45-60 days. The CDBG
funding will be utilized to pay for these services. It is hoped that as these activities come to a
completion, the state budget will be approved and the primary construction activities can
immediately begin on site. If this is the case, CAP of Kern can meet our required completion date of
May 31, 2011 within the parameters of the current construction contract. However, should the state
budget approval process drag on past September, potentially costly alternatives will need to be
considered such as accelerated completion schedules.
CAP of Kern Opinions�
Staff spoke with Mr. Jeremy Tobias, Executive Director of CAP of Kern, for an update on CAP of
Kern's plans for the Friendship House. The information detailed above was provided to staff by Mr.
Tobias. Mr. Tobias indicated that CAP of Kern intends to complete the project and that they were
pursuing an extension from the State beyond the current June 30, 2010 deadline. He indicated they
have not yet received formal approval. Mr. Tobias indicated CAP of Kern did not have the
discretionary cash flow to front the construction costs and wait an unknown time for reimbursement.

SUBJECT; Referral Response to the request for information regarding hiring
Requirements for Section 3 projects
Council Referral No. 189
Councilmember Carson requested that staff provide information regarding hiring
requirements for Section 3 projects.
Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, which
recognizes that HUD funds are typically one of the largest sources of federal funding
expended in communities through the form of grants, loans, entitlement allocations and
other forms of financial assistance, Section 3 is intended to ensure that when employment
or contracting opportunities are generated because a covered
necessitates the employment of additional persons or the awarding ofpont ctsrfor work,
preference must be given to low- and very low-income persons or business concerns
residing in the community where the project is located,
A"section 3 resident" is; 1) a public housing resident; or 2) a low- or very low-income person
residing in the metropolitan area or Non-metropolitan County in which the Section 3
covered assistance is expended.
Section 3 business concerns are businesses that can provide evidence that they meet one
of the following;
a) 51 percent or more owned by Section 3 residents; or
b) At least 30 percent of its full time employees include persons that are
currently Section 3 residents, or within three years of the date of first
employment with the business concern were Section 3 residents; or
�) Provides evidence, as required, of a commitment to subcontract in
excess of 25 percent of the dollar award of all subcontracts to be
awarded to business concerns that meet the qualification in the above
two paragraphs,
'S ���'(�
..�F..
Section 3 is both race and gender neutral, The preferences provided under this
regulation are based on income-level and location. The Section 3 regulations were
designed to encourage recipients of HUD funding to direct new employment and
contracting opportunities to low-income residents, and the businesses that employ
these persons, within their community regardless of race and/or gender,
The term "low-income" is used in the Section 3 regulation to include both low- and very
low-income individuals. Local income levels can be obtained online at:

SECTION 3 PLAN
I. PURPOSE
Section 3 is a means to foster local economic development, neighborhood
economic improvement, and individual self-sufficiency through housing and
community development projects funded whole or in part by the Federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Section 3 of the HUD
Act of 1968 as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of
1992, states that it is the policy of Congress and the intent of this section to
ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by certain
HUD financial assistance shall, to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent
with existing Federal, State and local laws and regulations, be directed to low-
and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of
government assistance for housing, and to business concerns which provide
economic opportunities to low- and very low- income persons.
Section 3 is the legal basis for providing jobs for residents and awarding
contracts to businesses in areas receiving certain types of HUD financial
assistance in excess of $100,000. In the event Section 3 covered project
expenditures generate economic opportunities (i.e., not out of necessity to serve
low- or very low- income persons, but out of necessity to serve the employment
or contracting needs of the recipient or contractor) these economic opportunities
(i.e., new employees/subcontractors) must be directed (i.e., give preference) to
qualified Section 3 residents and Section 3 business concerns. The purpose of
Section 3 preferences is to be results oriented by: 1) encouraging business
concerns that are not major sources of employment for low-income persons to
increase their employment of these persons when economic opportunities arise
from HUD financed construction related projects; and 2) promoting the growth of
"profit-making" enterprises owned by low-income persons that substantially
employ low-income persons with Section 3 contract awards (i.e., projects funded
with Community Development Block Grant funds).

III GOALS FOR
CONCERNS
SECTION 3 RESIDENTS AND SECTION 3 BUSINESS
Contractors and subcontractors may demonstrate compliance with the "greatest
extent feasible" requirement of Section 3 by meeting the goals set forth herein for
providing training, employment, and contracting opportunities to Section 3
Residents and Section 3 Business Concerns. The goals for hiring and
contracting established below represent minimum targets for a Section 3
covered contract (contractor or subcontractor) that exceeds $100,000 of HUD
financial assistance. The goals are not set-asides and quotas, but constitute a
"safe harbor" for contractors and subcontractors on the matter of compliance with
Section 3. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, a contractor or
subcontractor that meets the minimum goals for all new hires and contracting
opportunities outlined in this Section 3 Plan will be considered to have complied
with Section 3 requirements.
In evaluating compliance under this Section 3 Plan, a contractor or subcontractor
that has not met the goals described below has the burden of demonstrating
why it was not feasible to meet the goa/s identified in the Section 3 Plan.
Such justification may include statements regarding impediments encountered
despite actions taken. In addition, to further demonstrate efforts taken to meet
the goals, a contractor/subcontractor can indicate other economic opportunities
provided to Section 3 residents or Section 3 business concerns as outlined on
page 4 of Attachment "A".

A. Traininq and Emplovment
The goals apply to all new hires generated from the Section 3 covered
assistance for a project. Efforts to employ Section 3 residents should, to the
greatest extent feasible, be made at all job levels (entry level and skilled
positions) for those residents who are qualified (i.e., persons who able to
successfully complete the work required of the position).
1. Goa/s for HUD Community Deve%pment Programs
Contractors and subcontractors may demonstrate compliance with Section
3 requirements by documenting and committing (at the time of their
project bid submission) to employ Section 3 residents as 30 percent of the
number of new employees.
2. Goa/s for HUD Housing Programs
Regarding housing assistance provided under other HUD programs,
contractors and subcontractors may demonstrate compliance with Section
3 requirements by documenting and committing (at the time of their
project bid submission) to employ Section 3 residents as 10 percent of
the aggregate number of new employees generated from the Section 3
covered assistance for each year of the duration of the Section 3 project.
B. Contractinq
Goals also apply to all contracting and subcontracting needs generated from the
Section 3 covered assistance for a project. The goals for each contractor and
subcontractor may demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this part by
documenting and committing to award to Section 3 business concerns:
1. Goa/ for Contracting
At least 10 percent of the total dollar amount of all Section 3 covered
contracts for building trades work arising in connection with housing
rehabilitation, housing construction and other public construction.
IV. SELECTION PRIORITY FOR SECTION 3 RESIDENTS AND SECTION 3
BUSINESS CONCERNS
Section 3 is authorized under 12 U.S.C. 1701u and 42 U.S.C. 3535(d).
Implementing regulations are 24 CFR Part 135 - Economic Opportunities for Low
and Very Low Income Persons - Interim Rule dated June 30, 1994) that
expressly encourages, to the maximum extent feasible, a geographic preference
in the evaluation of bids or proposals. This preference is triggered by the need
for new hires (whether individual employees or contractors or subcontractors) for
work on a project assisted by HUD financial assistance in an excess of $100,000
covered by Section 3.

in Traininq and
Contractors and subcontractors shall direct their efforts to provide, to the greatest
extent feasible, training and employment opportunities generated from the
expenditure of Section 3 covered assistance to Section 3 residents in the order of
priority outlined below:
1. Section 3 residents residing in the service area or neighborhood in
which the Section 3 covered project is located (collectively, referred to as
category 1 residents); and
2. Participants in HUD Youthbuild programs (category 2 residents).
3. Where the Section 3 project is assisted under the Stewart B. McKinney
Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11301 et seq.), homeless persons
residing in the service area or neighborhood in which the Section 3
covered project is located shall be given the highest priority;
4. Other Section 3 residents (i.e., homeless persons, and recipients or
participants of government assisted programs such as section 8 and
public housing tenants).
A Section 3 resident seeking the preference in training and employment provided
by this part shall certify, or submit evidences to the contractor or subcontractor,
as needed. Attachment "B" must be filled out by potential Section 3 residents
seeking the preference in training and employment outlined in the City's Section
3 Plan.
Attachment "B" self-certification will be one of the methods used by City,
contractors, and subcontractors to confirm eligibility for Section 3 preference.
Should said certification come into question or not be appropriate due to the type
of Section 3 resident (i.e., public housing tenant), City, and contractors and
subcontractors may request other evidence of eligibility for the preference, such
as evidence of receipt of public assistance or evidence of participation in a public
assistance program. Attachment "B" for each Section 3 resident must be
submitted no later than the date of the pre-construction conference. Should
a contractor submit a bid and be awarded a contract predicated on new hires for
Section 3 residents, and does not provide evidence at the pre-construction
conference that this requirement was met, the contractor may be deemed by the
City of Bakersfield to be in non-compliance of federal requirements and
therefore, in breach of contract and subject to contract rescission.
(Please note that nothing in the Section 3 Plan shall be construed to require the
employment of a Section 3 resident who does not meet the background and
qualifications of the position to be filled.)

contractors and subcontractors to obtain certification from Section 3 business
concerns seeking the preference in contract or subcontract award provided in
this Section 3 plan. This attachment, if utilized, must be submitted by the bid
deadline. Should said certification come into question, City, and
contractors/subcontractors may request other evidence of eligibility for the
preference.
A business concern seeking to qualify for a Section 3 contracting preference
shall certify that the business concern is a Section 3 business concern. A
Section 3 business concern seeking a contract or a subcontract must
demonstrate to the satisfaction of the party awarding the contract or subcontract
that the business concern is responsible and has the ability to perform
successfully under the terms and conditions of the proposed contract or
subcontract.

preliminary statement of your workforce needs for the activity, broken out by
C:\DOCUME�1\cgutierr\LOCALS�1\Temp�XPgrpwise\Section 3.docx
Updated 4/14/10 TP
Page 7 of 11
trade for all skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled labor and trainee categories,
regardless if new hires will be generated. This statement should include the
anticipated workforce needs of any subcontractor you intend to use where this is
known; where this is known, this information should be obtained from the
subcontractor before any subcontract in excess of $100,000 is awarded.
If your firm is selected for a contract that will generate economic opportunities as
a result of a Section 3 covered project, you will be required to meet appropriate
goals for the hiring of Section 3 area residents/businesses to fill the project
workforce needs. Furthermore, if your firm is awarded a contract but fills its new
positions with non-Section 3 area residents/businesses prior to the signing of a
contract, you must be prepared to demonstrate that this was not done to
circumvent these requirements. If Section 3 requirements are purposely
circumvented as a means acquire an award, the project contract will be deemed
null and void.
In meeting these low-income resident employment requirements, contractors and
subcontractors may wish to consider using the employment/job development
services of the agencies listed below as well as other agencies and centers that
serve the economically disadvantaged within the project area:
Employers Training Resource (ETR) - (661) 325-4473
State Employment Development Department (EDD) -(800) 300-5616
Housing Authority of Kern County -(661) 631-8500
Small Business Development Center -(661) 395-4126
Kern, Inyo and Mono Counties Central Labor Council -(661) 324-6451
Bakersfield Homeless Center (Bethany Services) -(661) 322-9199
Kern County Construction Boot Camp, LLC —(661) 324-7535
ETR and EDD can provide names of potentially qualified Section 3 residents.
The Housing Authority and Bethany Services can provide names of qualified
Section 3 residents who are public housing tenants and homeless, respectively.
The Kern, Inyo and Mono Counties Central Labor Council can potentially provide
names of unemployed Section 3 residents skilled in the building trades. The
Small Business Development Center and the Bakersfield Minority Business
Development Center are able to provide technical assistance to potential Section
3 businesses.
Contractors will also be required, to the greatest extent feasible, to award
subcontracts to business firms located in or owned in substantial part by
residents of the project area (Tier 1, 2, or 3- see Attachment A for more
information). As identified on page 6 of this Plan, the Section 3 Business
Contracting goal is 10% of the total dollar amount.
If your company should be awarded a Section 3 covered contract under this
project, you will be required to give notice to all labor organizations with which
you have an agreement that you have made this commitment. This notice
should also be posted at your place of business and at the job site. A sample
notice of this type is provided for your reference in this section.
C:\DOCUME�1\cgutierr\LOCALS-1\Temp�XPgrpwise\Section 3.docx
Updated 4/14/10 TP
Page 8 of 11
In order for your bid to be acceptable under this provision, you should be certain
that you understand the attached Section 3 clause (Attachment "D") which is to
be inserted in all Section 3 covered contracts and subcontracts. This clause
commits the contractor to provide, to the greatest extent feasible, training and
employment opportunities to lower-income residents living in the project area
(see attached census tract map). A low income resident is defined by their
household annual gross income and household size (Attachment "E"). The
Resident Employment Bidder's Certification Form (Attachment "F") states you
understand this Section 3 requirement. This form must be completed by you,
signed by an authorized representative of your company and returned with your
bid.
VII SECTION 3 CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
Minimum compliance with Section 3 is determined by meeting goals for training
and contracting by contractors and subcontractors for Section 3 covered projects.
In evaluating compliance under Section 3, a contractor or subcontractor that has
not met the appropriate goals has the burden of demonstrating why it was not
feasible to meet the goals described in the Section 3 Plan. This would include
documentation that every feasible attempt was made to notify, encourage and
facilitate job and contracting opportunities to Section 3 residents and business
concerns.
The written records of Section 3 covered project contractors and subcontractors
will be reviewed by the City as a means of establishing compliance or non-
compliance with Section 3 requirements. Contractors and subcontractors who
receive Section 3 contracts found to be in non-compliance will be deemed to be
ineligible for future Section 3 covered projects for a minimum period of 24
months from the date deemed to be in non-compliance. Attachment "G" shall
be used by contractors and subcontractors to provide information and data
regarding actual contracts and subcontracts awarded. Attachment "H"
identifies a form that is required for actual jobs created in connection with
assisted section 3 projects. Satisfactory submission of Attachment "G" and/or
"H" with each request for payment is a prerequisite in order for City to authorize
payment on a Section 3 covered project.
Attachment "I" identifies acceptable methods that, when documented,
demonstrate compliance with Section 3. Attachment "J" identifies a sample
notice for project area resident employment commitment. Attachment "K"
provides a sample description of job categories connected with Section 3
covered projects.

Some contracting firms choose to enter into business agreements with labor
unions. These agreements may sometimes appear to be inconsistent with
C:\DOCUME�1\cgutierr\LOCALS-1\Temp�XPgrpwiselSection 3.docx
Updated 4/14/10 TP
Page 9 of 11
Section 3 requirements. However, it is important to note that labor union
agreements do not take precedence over laws established by the federal
government of the United States. ln other words, it would not be correct for
labor unions to suggest that their signatories not comply with federal
regulations when such regulations are incompatible with the terms of the
union-signatory agreement,

Instructions for Complaint Register
Section 3 of the Housing And Urban Development Act of 1968
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response,
including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining
the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not collect
this information, and you are not required to complete this form, unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The information is given voluntarily and provides the basis for HUD's investigation of the complaint to
determine if the allegations of noncompliance are valid. The Department will use the information provided
as the basis for its determination ofjurisdiction over a complainant's allegations. All information collected
complies with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular A-108. The information is not of a sensitive
nature. The information is unique to the processing of an allegation of noncompliance with the Section 3
statute or implementing regulations.
This form is to be used to report allegations of noncompliance with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1968, as amended and implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 135.
What Does Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 provide?
The law describes the HUD programs directly affected by Section 3, receiving Federal financial
assistance from the department, and dictates how these programs are to provide employment and other
economic opportunities for low and very low income persons.
What does the Law Cover?
Section 3 applies to any public and Indian Housing programs that receive: (1) developmental assistance
pursuant to section 5 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937; (2) operating assistance pursuant to section 5 of
the U.S. Housing Act of 1937; or (3) modernization grants pursuant to section 14 of the U.S. Housing Act
of 1937 and to housing and community development assistance extended for: (1) housing rehabilitation
(including reduction and abatement of lead based paint hazards); (2) housing construction; or (3) other
public construction projects; and for which the contract or subcontract amount exceeds $100,000.
What Can You Do About Violations of the Law?
Remember, Section 3 applies to the awarding ofjobs, training programs, and contracts, generated from
projects receiving HUD financial assistance. If you believe that, as a low income person or a Section 3
business concern, the responsibilities to provide economic opportunities under Section 3 have been
violated, you have a right to file a complaint within 180 days of the last alleged occurrence of
noncompliance.
Complain to the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Department of Housing and
Urban Development, by filing this form by mail or in person. The information received will be used by HUD
to determine jurisdiction under Section 3.
HUD will send the complaint to the appropriate HUD recipient for resolution. If resolution by the recipient
fails, HUD will investigate. If HUD finds that the complaint has merit, it will try to end the violation by
informal resolution. If conciliation fails, HUD may initiate other steps to enforce the law, including but not
limited to suspension and debarment of the recipient or contractors as applicable.

COUNCILMEMBER WEIR REQUESTED THAT STAFF PROVIDE HIM WITH INFORMATION
REGARDING THE SECURITY PAVING CONTRACT COMPLETION DATE COMPARED TO THE
ACTUAL COMPLETION DATE RELATED TO THE F-3 RAMP AT SR 178 AND FAIRFAX. HE
FURTHER REQUESTED THAT SECURITY PAVING BE DIRECTED TO ACCELERATE COMPLETION
OF THE PROJECT.
Security Paving Construction (SPC) was given 95 working days to complete the work for
the F-3 ramp. These working days expired on July 26th. There are some activities such as
some fencing, irrigation, and landscaping work which were not part of this change
order and additional days will be needed to complete that work; however, this work
can be completed after the ramp is open to traffic.
The F-3 ramp is expected to be finished in mid-August. SPC completed the AC ramp
paving on July 23rd. The concrete barrier at the base of the retaining wall that is on top
of this paving is also done. The overhead road sign installation for the "Fairfax Ave" exit
sign is being installed on July 30th. The river rock hard-scaping and the highway lighting
are activities that should be completed the week of August 2nd. Final striping of the
ramp pavement will follow immediately thereafter.
SPC understands the urgency for opening the F-3 ramp and has brought a new field
superintendent exclusively to finish off this project.

From: Dia�� oover, Director of Recreation 8� Parks
Subject: Watering at Patriot's Park
Council Referral No. CRMS #182 (Ward 6)
Councilmember Sullivan requested that staff review the watering times at
Patriot's Park.
The summer watering schedule for Patriot's Park is six (6) days a week with times
varying from forty (40) minutes for turf areas to fifteen (15) minutes for shrubs
between the hours of 10:00 pm and 5:00 am. Patriot's Park as well as other City
parks and landscape areas are controlled and monitored by the computerized
water conservation system called Maxi-Com. On a daily basis, this computerized
system measures temperature, humidity, wind and other factors to determine how
much water needs to be used every day.
There are occasions when the irrigation system must be shut off due to events
occurring in the park the next day. Examples such as; weekend softball
tournaments, arts and crafts show, large group gatherings or irrigation breaks. In
these situations, staff makes the decision to add water to those specific areas that
were stressed during the event, due to the cancelled scheduled watering time.
This is us�ally done during the daytime hours so staff can monitor the water use
until the damaged area recovers.
