After a great deal of work, and at a substantial cost of time, effort and ene parfi of the City, County and the property owners, those were all eventuc and the annexations moved forward. The process led to a lot of negativ for all parties. I am sure you will recall the colorful communication froi Martin that was published by the media, as one example. The City had hoped that we were moving on and that the problem reoccur; but it just did with Annexation No. 632. I have been told that Annexation No. 632 was not processed because th owner did not sign a mitigation payment agreement that had a blank spc the payment amount was to be. To our knowledge, there was no tax s other kind of issue between the City and County for this property. The City of Bakersfield respectfully requests that the County stop using timE processing annexations as a tool to collect mitigation payments. The County have a Master Tax Split Agreement; and when an annexation fits v� County Administr Re: M The issue of the County and its desire to collect mitigation paym developments is a separate matter. As you are aware, the City and Count the Mitigation Fee Act with CEQA in order to jointly establish traffic impact action withstood a legal challenge, and is an avenue open to Kern County Please be advised that the City of Bakersfield has for many years faithfully and reallocated mitigation fees for schools and North of the River Recre Parks District, as those fees were properly established under State law, and avenue open to Kern County, as well. This is not a legal argument or any type of threat. We are simply asking th� processes of annexation and mitigation collection be handled as separat as they have historically been. The consequences of intermingting the twc time, money, negative publicity, and uncertainty for all parties. It also cau for economic opportunities in a time when our local economy needs ar positives.

Jerry Brown's administration released a draft bill Monday to place tax hike extensions on the ball� services to local government. The ballot measure is dubbed the "Public Safety and Public Education Act of 2oii." It would ask voters to higher tax rates on sales and vehicles through June 30, 2oi6, as well income tax through the 2oi5 tax yea The proposal is drafted as a constitutional amendment, which requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislatui ballot, including at least two Republicans in each house. Brown wants lawmakers to approve the measurE week. The state would deposit the additional sales and vehicle tax money in a new "Local Revenue Fund 2011" � the taxes expire, the state would agree to provide local governments at least as much money as the taxes � generated. 'This promise is aimed at appeasing concerns that the state would shift various public safety fi� as parole, without providing money after five years to pay for them. The state would also create an F.ducation Protection Account, into which it would direct 6.5 percent of in revenues each month for K-i2 schools and community colleges. The bill can be found here in PDF form. Brown officials also released a summary of changes to the governor's realignment plan here.

By John Woolfolk jwoo{folk@mercurynews.com ��`hl�v, l;wii,%.�.j�!f..i t �. �:.'.;�z.i�.:1=Y ."��;'f C"�:J i Updated: 03/04/2011 07:56:19 AM PST San Jose officials Thursday announced a tentative deal in which city firefighters would agree to cut their pay and benefits 10 percent for the next two years to reduce the need for layoffs in the thinly staffed department. The deal requires ratification from the city's 647 firefighters over the weekend and City Council approval Tuesday. But it makes firefighters the first among San Jose's 11 employee unions to reach a deal on the 10 percent cuts Mayor Chuck Reed and the council have sought to help close a$105.4 million deficit in the budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. "Firefighters are making significant sacrifices every day on the streets, and they're making sacrifices again at the bargaining table," said Fire Capt. Jeff Welch, president of the San Jose Firefighters union. "We're really happy. The city and firefighters came to the table and made a deal to save firefighters' jobs and keep the public safe." The deal is a marked turnaround in relations between San Jose officials and firefighters, who have been at loggerheads for years. The firefighters' last contract was settled in 2007 through a bitter arbitration process that city leaders complained Advertisement saddled taxpayers with a$30 million pension liability. Firefighters argued that the city rejected their reasonable offers. A Santa Clara County civil grand jury in 2009 blasted the firefighters' union leaders for filing "excessive or frivolous" grievances against the city. But firefighters called the grand jury's report unfair. Last year, with San Jose facing a record $118.5 million deficit, the city and firefighters were unable to agree on concessions to save 49 firefighters' jobs. And in the fall, city leaders and firefighters waged costly campaigns over pension and arbitration reform measures that Reed championed and voters overwhelmingly approved. Since then, Welch took the reins of the firefighters' union, replacing longtime leader Randy Sekany. Relations with the city then began to thaw. "Almost as important as the agreement is what this says about the new relationship with the city and firefighters' union and their clear willingness to collaborate," said Alex Gurza, the city's employee relations director and chief labor negotiator. "IYs a very, very significant change." San Jose is facing its 10th straight year of red ink, despite cutting $565 million and 1,600 jobs over the last nine years, as employee costs -- mostly for health care and pensions -- have outpaced revenues. Reed and the City Council over the past year have asked unionized workers to accept a 10 percent reduction in "total compensation" -- the city's cost for their pay and benefits -- to ease chronic deficits. The city's elected leaders and top management agreed to similar reductions. Last year, six unions agreed to the 10 percent � �.i � � � � �.: � , � Format Dynamics :: Kodak Viewer � e �e�cu� �ew� h � MercuryNews.com reduction, while police and another union accepted smaller cuts to prevent layoffs. But much of last year's concessions expire in the upcoming budget cycle despite the ongoing deficits, so city leaders renewed the call for 10 percent cuts from all the unions. Under the proposed firefighters' deal, effective through June 30, 2013, the firefighters would accept most of the 10 percent reduction in compensation in the form of pay cuts, with some of the savings coming from increased cost-sharing for their health benefits. The deal also allows the fire department to reduce the number of firefighters required on each truck, a provision that Chief Willie McDonald said will increase flexibility in providing coverage with limited staffing. The proposal still leaves significant issues undecided, including reductions in pensions for current and future firefighters and other benefits such as sick-leave cashouts for retiring employees and bonus checks for retirees. But both sides agreed to continue talking about those changes. Gurza was optimistic, saying that the city and the union simply "needed more time to work on them." Reed, who has had icy relations with the firefighters, joined Welch outside City Hall after the agreement was reached and thanked the union for showing "great leadership," which he said will go a long way toward securing similar deals from other workers to save jobs and city services. "This is a difficult decision in a very difficult budget time," Reed said. "That's a big sacrifice, and we know it will be very difficult for their members. It will be helpful."
