rights to Tejon Ranch Company for $5,850 per acre-feet, or $1 1.7 million.
At the end of 2012, contracts to sell City of Bakersfield Kern River Watei

apply the above value per acre-foot, that would convert to $409.5 millior
That is, of course, an out-of-basin sale, which, under Bakersfield's policies
never allow. The number still exemplifies the massive increases in th
water, given the problems with environmental issues in the Delta and otl
issues.

Kings farmers set to sell $11.7M in water rights
By Seth Nidever snidever@HanfordSentinel.com � Posted: Tuesday, November 9, 2010 10:41 am
In the threatened world of Westside agriculture, two more farmers have decided to sell water rights to urban development interests in Southem Califor
The deal would send 1,998 acre-feet of water from two Kings County growers to Tejon Ranch Co. for $5,850 per acre-foot, or $11.7 million. The wate
urban development Tejon Ranch Co. has planned along Interstate 5 south of Bakersfield.
An acre-foot of water is the amount of water that would cover an acre of land to a depth of one foot. The average family uses about an acre-foot of wa�
Both growers are in the Dudley Ridge Water District, located in remote western Kings County. The district's board of directors will consider the propo
on Dec. 8 at the office of Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group in Fresno, said Rick Besecker, district treasurer.
The sellers are 3K Land and Development and Don Jackson, Besecker said. Jackson and an official from 3R did not retum phone calis seeking comme
Other district growers have the right of first refusal on the sale, meaning one or more of them could match Tejon's offer and keep the water in the distr.
district's irrigated acreage is owned by Paramount Farms and Sandridge Partners. The sale is expected to go through without objection, Besecker said.
Sandridge, a Bay Area company, made news last year for selling $73 miflion in permanent water rights from the district to the Mojave Water Agency i
That was followed later in the year by another grower, Steve Jackson, selling 884 acres of land and its $14.3 million in water rights to the lrvine RancF
Southern Califomia.
Steve Jackson is Don Jackson's son.
1'he dynamics of Westside water haven't changed much, Jackson said. Environmental problems in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta are limitin;
counties, not to mention cities that also count on the deliveries. Some of the limitations are designed to protect the delta smelt, a small endangered fish
indicator of the overall health of the delta.
Environmentalists believe that siphoning too much water out of the delta is the main problem. Farmers and some cities who depend on those supplies :
as contaminated runoff from delta-area cities, are more relevant.
Jackson isn't betting that flows will increase under new Gov. Jerry Brown, but he's reserving judgment until Brown takes over in January.
Even with last year's above-average snowpack, Jackson only got 50 percent of his historic water contract delivered.
"We don't see much hope of going back to [the levels] we had pre-delta smelt," Jackson said.

Park Area Rentais: Changes in Fee Structure
The park rental procedures were revised in 2010 as part of the annual review of fee
recommended, and subsequently approved revisions addressed several issues.
Previously, residents and non-residents were able to reserve a park area for a m
block at their choosing. Typically, an hour was blocked within reservations to allo�
clean-up the site to prepare for the next reservation. Residents were extending thE
payment which did not allow for cleaning between reservations. This caused majc
arguments with residents who shared a park in sequential time blocks. Restructuring 1
to a half-day or a full-day reservation has helped tremendously. Additional benefits �
the fee includes a reduction in overall rental costs to the customer, consistent turno�
sites, and clean areas at the beginning of each reservation,
Park crews are on a 7-day work-week which eliminates overtime. Their hours are 6:3(
each day. When the first reservation ends at 2:00 pm, crews are able to clean the a�
next group arriving, and still preventing overtime, This past summer, we have had
with the new schedule.
To illustrate the previous fee in comparison to the new fee, reservations for a half-c
2:00 pm or 3:00 pm - 10;00 pm) and a full-day (7:00 am - 10:00 pm) are presentE
methods:

• Total for a full-day, 14 hour park resenration

The revision of park area rentals has also addressed the issue of charging differE
different areas within the Park at River Walk. Previously, residents found this to �
inconsistent, The restructured fee charges the same fee for either a half-da�
reservation for any area in the park.
The Park at River Walk
• Total for a half-day, 7 hour park reservation
Areas 1, 2, 5, & 6
• Total for a full-day, 14 hour park reservation
Areas 1, 2, 5, & 6
• Total for a half-day, 7 hour park reservation

average of the previous fee ranges was taken, respectively, to implement a single 1
and simple to understand. (The Park at River Walk adopted fees does nc
Amphitheatre which is an additional and separate fee coordinated thru SMG.)
The Park Area Rental fees have decreased for every park facility. However,

Slightly Lower Winter Bills Expected
The Gas Company'sS"' customers can expect natural gas bills this winter to be siigh1
than last year.
Plentiful suppiies of natural gas flowing and in storage, along with minimal Gulf Co�
production losses from tropical storms thus far have helped keep winter prices for r
gas low. Keep in mind, however, that natural gas prices can be volatile and typical
affected by severe weather in other parts of the country.
Winter Projections
Based on current energy industry price projections, residential customers who cons
therms of natural gas a month are likely to see a winter average natural gas bill of
$79, as compared to $86 last year. Customers living in apartments can expect the
average monthly bill for 45 therms to be about $41 this year, as compared to $45 I
Small business customers using 300 therms of natural gas could see monthly bills c
$299, as compared with $330 last winter. Medium-sized business customers using
therms of natural gas could see monthly bills of about $445, as compared with $49
winter.
Helping Customers Save
The Gas Company remains concerned about the economic challenges that many of
customers are facing. That's why we want to remind everyone about our Customer
Assistance Programs, such as our ZO percent bill discount for income-qualified hou�
We also offer a number of energy efficiency rebates to help customers save energ�
money.

Ca1PERS Reports Improved Earnings
November 9, 2010 � 3:1�j. pm
The California Public Employees' Retirement System, the country's biggest government
fund, closed out its 2oo9-io fiscal year, reporting a net return on investments of i3•3�
The results for the i2 months ending June 3o represented a significant improvement from the 2
in the previous year during the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 193os.
Ca1PERS ended the most recent fiscal year with a total portfolio worth $200.5 billion, substanti�
from a record high of $260.4 billion on Oct. 3i, 200�.
"This updated report indicates a gain of more than $4o billion since our turn-around from the lc
point of the recession in March 2009," said Chief Investment Officer Joseph Dear. "We also bea
benchmark of i2.95% and eclipsed return targets for every asset class except real estate. But eve
asset class improved dramatically over what we reported in July."
Ca1PERS' reported significant gains in a number of areas: global fixed equity including bonds ro
private equity 23.9%; publicly traded stocks up i4.4% and commodities, infrastructure, forestla�
inflation-linked bonds up 8.�%.
Real estate investments dropped by io.8 % but did much better than an earlier estimate of minu
"These financial figures are good news for employers since investment gains will help mitigate i�
in their contribution rates," said Dear.
The latest reported returns outpaced CaIPERS' assumed target annual rate of return of 7.75%. H
pension fund officials are concerned that future returns can't be counted on to regularly exceed �
The pension's board currently is considering cutting that assumed rate of return, which could tr
into asking employers and employees to pay more.
CalPERS provides retirement security to i.6 million active and retired state, local government a�
employees and their families.

Annual rates paid by some of the 2,000 local government plans in the giant California Public Empl�
System could soar roughly 55 percent over the next three years, a Ca1PERS board member estimate
Tony Oliveira, who also is president of the California State Association of Counties, made the calc�

investment earnings.
Oliveira, a Kings County supervisor, got general agreement from Alan Milligan, the Ca1PERS chie:

California's largest state worker union agrees

The contract took effect immediately upon ratification and expires July 1, 2013.

"This gives our members stability and security," Walker said, "especially after 20 months of furloughs."
Still, the deal angered some state workers who believed it gave away too much.

More than a half a dozen members of the EI Segundo Fire Department could face layoffs this week after being the only

During the Nov. 2 City Council meeting, EI Segundo City Manager Jack Wyat announced that the two newest groups to pi
concessions that were accepted by City Council were the EI Segundo Police Officers Association and the EI Segundo Police
Association, which agreed to take salary cuts amounting to more than $1 million in order to preserve jobs. The cuts will t
a variety of ineasures including not cashing out sick and vacation time, elimination of stipends for uniform dry cleaning, �
days and paying 2 to 3 percent toward their own retirement benefits. Currently the city pays the employee and employer
employee retirement benefits.
EI Segundo Mayor Eric Busch stated that the EI Segundo Fire Fighters Association is the only bargaining unit to date that

"If the city decided this evening to lay off employees, it would take 30 days for the notices to become effective," Busch s

Although closed session matters are not typically discussed during public meetings, EI Segundo City Councilman Don Bra

"This isn't negotiating, this is collective begging," Busch said. "The city is going to its employees and begging our employ
concessions so that we don't have to issue layoffs."
Each City Council member commended those city employees who had made the sacrifice to take pay cuts in order to pre

City Councilman Bill Fisher thanked all city employees who have had to make a sacrifice for the betterment of the city as
"We went from almost having to lay off a third of our emp{oyees to so far to only having to lay off five total, and some o1

The city has saved more than $8 million by accepting employee concessions as well as not filling empty positions. Howev

Defending the ESFD's efForts to cut back, Brann reminded the public that the fire department did agree to the city's origi
pay cut and had also reduced its overtime hours by 25 percent.
"We are getting through this thing as best we can for the situation that we put ourselves in," Brann said. "I am not in su�

Erica Felci • The Desert Sun • November 5, 2010
Riverside County is looking to close three fire
stations as part of its effort to close a$46.7 million
budget gap.
County officials have not specified which locations
will be shuttered. Their decision will be based on
the number of emergencies a firehouse handles and
the availability of backup stations and volunteer fire
crews.
County supervisors on Tuesday are scheduled to
consider the plan and finalize the criteria for the
ctosures. The board will further review the plan at
its Nov. 30 meeting.
The stations will be among 45 firehouses that serve
the unincorporated communities.
The proposed fire station closures comes after the
fire department and other county offices have made
significant budget cuts.
"We have done our best to keep fire stations open,"
fire Chief John Hawkins wrote in a letter outlining
his budget.
"Revenues don't fund expenditures and public
safety expectations don't desire reductions. Closure
of any fire station will be difficult."
Supervisor John Benoit said he hopes not to close
any station or reduce public safety personnel. If
such cuts are unavoidable, he said it would be done
after a"very hard look" to ensure it has "the least
impact on service levels."
"Obviously, I have huge concerns about even
talking about closing a fire station. I'm going to do
what I can to avoid that, but I don't know that we
can," Benoit told The Desert Sun.
"I know you can't print money. We've got to pay our
bills and we are seeing a continuing decline in
revenue and the situation is not getting better."
Amid the nationwide economic downturn, county

Officials pay the closest attention to their
discretionary general fund, which will see about
$673 million in revenue in the 2010-11 fiscal year.
According to Tuesday's budget report, the fire
department is one of five departments facing
"notable" budget shortfalls.
The sheriff s department has the largest one —
about $17 million — but expects to close that
shortfall through attrition and other cuts.
Officials will review that department budget monthly,
and supervisors "can take decisive action" in a
couple months, according to Tuesday's report.
The fire department's budget has a$6 million
shortfall.
Every fire station that's closed saves about $1.2
million.
Officials would need to close seven stations by Dec.
1 to make up the entire budget shortfall. In the
report, county Executive Officer Bill Luna said
officials "committed to find ways to avoid that more
drastic cut."
Officials in 2009 considered a similar idea, when a
budget proposal suggested closing seven stations,
slashing public health funding and laying off nearly
1,000 employees.
Supervisors at the time used reserves to avoid those
cuts.
In his report, Luna warned that continuing to dip
into savings might not be possible.
"While using reserves might be an option, a rating
agency recently noted Riverside County's
`deterio�ating financial position' and warned they
may downgrade the county's credit rating if our
reserve ratio does not improve," Luna wrote.

Santa Clara council paves
way for layoffs
By Lisa Fernandez
ifernandez@mercurynews.com
F'vstet�: 11i'1(li'2010 �8:51:Qi3 f�Rn F'�"f
Updated: 11/10/2010 08:51:01 AM PST
The Santa Ciara City Councit voted 6 to 1 on
Tuesday night to adopt a plan that would pave the
way for 82 layoffs, or 9 percent of the workforce, if
the city's bargaining units don't agree to give up
raises or accept unpaid work furlough days.
Deputy City Manager Carol McCarthy said that the
bargaining units have until Dec. 9 to agree to the
concessions. If they don't, the layoffs would be
effective Jan. 8.
"The plan is in place," McCarthy said today. "But staff
will continue to talk with the remaining bargaining
units who have not yet agreed to the requested
concessions, in the hope that agreement can be
reached and layoffs can be avoided."
Three of the 10 bargaining units have agreed to
forgo a 4 percent or 5 percent pay raise scheduled
for December, and to choose to take either a 5.15
percent pay cut scheduled for next year or 12 days
of unpaid work furlough.
Outgoing Mayor Patricia Mahan cast the dissenting
vote. There had been some talk at the council
meeting about delaying the vote by at least week in
the hopes that more of the bargaining units would
agree to the take-backs.

The cost of inedical insurance for Visalia city
retirees and their dependents will increase between
$50 and $100 per individual or family as of
February — and all the increases will be absorbed
by the retirees themselves under a plan up for
adoption Nov. 15 by the Visalia City Council.
Since 1982, the city of Visalia had paid all or part of
these increases, since costs were nominal. Today,
such a"subsidy" is consuming a larger percentage
of the city's overall budget, officials warn.
In fact, the city of Visalia is forking over $2 million
annually to help cover the medical insurance costs
of roughly 200 retirees and another $700,000 in
indirect subsidies, according to a report authored
by Eric Frost, director of administrative services for
Visalia.
Under the current increase proposal, retirees will
have to come up with $108 more monthly on
average as of February 2011. Retirees on a higher
deductible plan would face a lesser increase,
records show. Some participants can qualify for a
health savings account to help defray cost
increases, the proposal reads.
A draft of the report was made public last week to
give retirees and other stakeholders time to respond
to the new increase.
"The city needs to address how re#iree contribution
rates will change this next year [2011] as plan costs
increase," Frost wrote.
Organized opposition
Retirees have organized against city increases,
saying that the city "promised" to cover their m
edical-plan expenses for life back in the 1980s.
However, city officials counter that no such
reported.
That did not stop Visalia Retirees Inc. from suing
the city earlier this year to recover cost increases
past the $57.40 contributed monthly by retirees
since 1982. Monthly retiree costs have since
climbed to $211 for retirees 65 and over, while
young participants contribute $247.38.
"They [retirees] were told they had lifetime benefits,"
said Jim Thompson, former Visalia Convention
Center manager who retired in 2006, earlier this
year.
Visalia Retirees Inc. lost its case as Tulare County
Superior Court Judge Patrick J. O'Hara ruled in favor
of the city on May 26. The retirees now maintain that
they are vulnerable to limitless and mandatory
contribution increases as they try to survive on
fixed incomes.
��tir�e i��cr��s�s
Monthly contributions toward the city of Visalia's
medical insurance coverage of city retirees and how
much they are expected to increase:

Younger than 65 $247.48 $308.78
65-over 211.74 273.04

Younger dependents 86.52 147.82
Dependents 65-over 50.78 112.08

""Qualified" denotes retirees 65 and older with at least
15 years of service and annual household income
below $37,680 in 2010.
