Re: McAllister Ranch as a Water Bank
Dear Sirs,
I write to you at the direction of the City Water Board.
Thank you for our recent meeting on McAllister Ranch. We are in recei�
65402 (c) notice and a copy of our written response is included. At this ti
proposed project is not in compliance with the General P1an.
With respect to your question as to whether an agreement can be rea
a one year pilot project in regard to your Notice of Exemption, we ha
advised by our legal Counsel thafi the answer is "no".
To summarize, and as discussed in our meeting, the City has three ma
with your project, as follows:
The first issue is the millions of dolldrs of impacts that the changes in I
required for a water bank will have along with disruptions to planned
such as the West Beltway, a Fire Station on the proposed site, $29 i
monies already spent on providing waste water treatment capacity, $�
Attached are copies of documents showing some of these losses. We �
clarity on how Rosedale Rio Bravo and Buena Vista plan to make E
whole for these losses.
Secondly, you said at our meeting that you cannot preclude "out
contracts for water sale. The City of Bakersfield, by policy, does not a
sales of water outside of the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley �
Kern County, and our approvals and use of City facilities will not be g
allowed in regard to such sales.
Will Rosedale Rio Bravo and Buena Vista provide us with a written g
that such sales will not occur if McAllister is converted to a banking proj�
Thirdly, what type of environmental review has been completed to allc
project and conversion of land use?
As stated at our meeting, we believe it was a grievous mistake that yo
contact the City prior to your land purchase of annexed, devE
agreement encumbered, entitled land. Based upon what we curren
the City must do everything in its power to protect the current enti
Answers to the above questions are critical to how the City may respon
actions.
It is unforfunate that you have chosen to cancel the meeting we had sc
for June 30t". It might have afforded the opportunity to enhanc
understandings between us.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Barfel:
The Planning Division received a letter from you on June 2, 201 1 indicating the re
of the above-mentioned parcels (approximately 2,048 acres) by the Buena Vistc
Rio Bravo Water Storage Districts for ground water recharge purposes. At a mee
attended with City representatives on June 10, 2011, you indicated approximate
are under option to be sold for possible urban deve{opment. However, since it is
option will be exercised, this letter only addresses use of the property for ground�
purposes as initially stated in your letter.
This communication is being provided in accordance with Government Code 6;
states a local agency shall not acquire or dispose of real property, nor construcfi
public building or strucfiure until the jurisdiction under which the property is IocatE
notified and given opportunity to report as to the conformifiy of the intended use
cadopted General Pldn. We must note for the record, however, that your agenc�
acquisition of this land prior to the City being notified and providing you wifih a d
con#ormity of your intended use with the General Plan.
The site is known as McAllister Ranch, a 2,070 acre master-planned mixed-use ce
The entire properfy is currently subject to the McAllister Ranch Specific Plan, whic
consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan. These are the guiding
documents for the long term urbanization of this area over the next 20-30 years.
also subject to a development agreement, which is a contract running with the l�
the Cifiy and property owner/developer, through which existing zoning entit{eme
regulations are vested in exchange for public benefits. In anticipation of develo�
recently committed over $28 million towards expansion of sewage capacity to sE
community. Revenues are onticipated to include o�ver $44 million in sewer connE
million annually in sewer user fees, over $43 million in traffic irnpact fees, and nea
annually into the City's general fund to provide agreed upon urban senrices.
Your acquisition covers all of McAUister Ranch with the exception of three interior
totaling approximately 22 acres. The current general plan includes single and m�
residentiol, and commercial land use designations. Zoning entitlements consister
land use designations include, single fomily residential (E, R-1), multiple family resi�
3), commercial (C-1, C-C), and drill island (DI) districts. Overlay zones exist for plc
(PUD) and planned commercial (PCD) developments, and for petroleum extraci
Review of the specific plan indicates that adjacent ogricuitural and water banki�
were generally viewed as not being compatible with the planned urban land usE
McAllister Ranch. It requires that developments include a public information pro�
introduce new or prospective residents to the hazards and inconveniences assoc
living in proximity to fihe existing farming operations and the water recharge arec
and west. The plan does, however, acknowledge that some ground water rech�
occur within the developmenfi under a dual use subordinate arrangement wherE
activities are integrated into an open space and/or recreational areo. But, thesE
and open space areas are limited by the plan to approximately 94 ocres of the :
project site.
In conclusion, the projec# being proposed by the districts is not compatible wifih t
land uses within McAllister Ranch. Furthermore, it is nofi o use that is permitted by
zoning district within the planning area. Therefore, under the authority granted b
Municipal Code Section 2.28.120, I find that the proposed groundwater rechargE
in conformance with the approved McAllister Specific Plan and Metropolitan Ba�
General Plan.

SUBJECT: Overview and Update on City Email Issues
I would like to provide the Council with an update regarding t
conversion of its email system. Through further research by our Ini
Technology Division, we have become aware that we have an optior
allow the City to move forward without having to automatically delet�
email archives that some employees have set up. This new inf
essentially means that we will continue to operate in the future as wE
the past.
In order to fully understand what this means, I must provide you with a
background related to how the City utilizes electronic email communic�
addition, misconceptions that have been fostered by the media neE
corrected.
With over 1200 City computers in use, email is relied upon as a basic
communication. This use of email is similar, and in many cases serv
alternate, to a telephone conversation. Given this reality, the City of Bc
along with numerous other municipalities, view emails as "transitory doc
which are not retained for any specific length of time. Some emails dc
�nformation or attachments that may need to be retained for a pi
period. This can include such valid reasons as the tracking of agreem
vendors or service providers; communication with other agencies

The City recently completed a planned transition from its past emc
(Novell Groupwise) to Microsoft Outlook. In preparation for this trans
City reviewed the storage space that was being utilized by Groupwise
which was used by just over 500 of the 1200 computers in the sys�
imporfant to understand that the establishment of an email archive w�
discretion of the individual employee and the majority of employee�
choose to utilize an archive. The existing archives currently take
gigabytes of space, or the equivalent of 138 million pages. As a result,
asked people to review what they are storing, or we have had the Inf�
Technology Division look at it and suggest recommended actions, wh
generally resulted in either reducing the archives or utilizing alternate
options as discussed above.
Through the internal review process, it was discovered that some er
were retaining Iqrge amounts of email that was unnecessary and,
cases, was inadvertent (they didn't realize they had set up this option a
of email was being unintentionally saved). Having identified this situc
City required these individuals to review their archives and take steps
anything they deemed necessary, as we were operating with the under
thdt when the transition to the Outlook product occurred, they would r
have access to these files. For example, when City staff relocated from
South to City Hall Norfh, staff ufiilized that situation to review and ensure
necessary documents and files were transferred. Likewise, the transitic
new email system has served as a similar opportunity for this type of reviE
Through the additional information recently brought forward by the Inf�
Technology Division, we have learned that the City can continue to ac
existing Groupwise Archives to allow for the necessary retrieval of arch
on an ongoing basis. Originally, it was thought that we would have to �
a Master License Agreement with the Groupwise vendor at an annuc
$30,000. We now have learned we can continue a basic license for a
annual cost which will forego the need to remove these archives. With
can continue to allow employees the ability to access and dele
documents as they historically have and we will continue to res�
information requests in the same fashion.
I will point out that the use of available disk space for files that a�
unnecessary or non-work-related is still an issue that we expect empl�

TEXT SIZE:
36 lose jobs as City Council finalizes its spending plan.
B y AMEERA BUTT
abuttCa mercedsun-star. com
�
The city of Merced cut its general fund deficit to an estimated $2.4 million from $S.5 million
after the Merced City Council decided to eliminate 36 city positions Monday night, in addition
to ongoing cost-effective methods used to balance the budget.
The council saved four school resource officers, six more police officers and one firefighter.
The last day of employment for employees who received a layoff notice is Sunday.
The estimated $2.4 million deficit includes reserves spent on the positions and the
temporary community service aide positions, Brad Grant, city finance officer, said.
If Gov. )erry Brown's plan for extending taxes
is not approved, the city deficit will increase
to $2.9 million, Grant said.
Other actions the city has used in the past to
help cut the deficit include eliminating all
vacant positions in the general fund, using a
voluntary severance plan, and receiving 5
percent compensation concessions from
unrepresented employees and the two
bargaining units, Merced Fire Fighters Local
1479 Union and the Merced Association of
City Employees.
A general fund balance and the city's
"reserves" are synonymous, according to Grant.
Before restoring the positions Monday night, the estimated ending balance for the general
fund was a little more than $7 million.
The general fund balance stands at an estimated $6.2 million, but Grant said that number
may go up or down depending on the saved positions and their salaries. But if the city
doesn't receive the tax extensions from the state, the fund balance could drop to an
estimated $5.7 million, Grant said.
But he said the city could look at adjusting the budget mid-year if those extensions don't
come through.
School o�cers mum
The Merced Police Department has an officer at each of the city's four high schools (Merced
High, Golden Valley, East Campus Educational Center and Valley High). One layoff notice had
been sent to one of the four school resource officers, said Lt. Andre Matthews, who oversees
them. Those officers declined to comment for this story.
"The others were sent back to patrol," Matthews said. "They will return to their assigned
high schools when high school starts."
Matthews said the officers are excited to return to work. He said they make sure schools are
safe learning environments. "They have specialized training that helps them along with their
Aftcr layoffs, Merced a�vaits state's budget decisions - I,ocal - Merc
we could without providing extra," explained Spicer.
http:�'!w��w.mercedsunstar.com�2011 /06/22�
That's not to say their presence at the school was anything short of "essential or valued," he
said.
Officer Steve Smith, who used to serve at Rivera and Cruickshank middle schools as a school
resource officer, said the layoffs were bad "but it's better than expected."
He didn't receive a layoff notice, but he and the other school resource officer were put back
on patrol in early June. "But it's still sad news because I don't want to see anybody leave,"
he said , adding it takes at least five years to be considered an experienced police officer.
Matthews said the Gang Resistance Education and Training program, or GREAT, has been cut
this year. "This school year was the last time they will be doing that," said Matthews.
Smith and another officer divided their time at four middle schools: Cruickshank, Hoover,
Rivera and Tenaya. The program reached out to students in sixth grade before they might be
tempted to join gangs. "The kids have nowhere else to go," explained Smith. "It was the only
program that was free. Kids were learning a lot." Reporter Ameera Butt can be reached

Reflections
The question I always ask but the paper never seems to explore is, does these programs work?
I have talked with officers who have participated in these programs and there is doubt whether
they are effective.

GENERAL FUND SPENDING PLAN OK'D
Text Sae: A � A � A
STOCKTON — The Stockton City Council late Tuesday unanimousiy approved a�162 million general fund
spending plan for the next fiscal year that bridges an estimated $37 million deficit by eliminating 66 positions anc
imposing pay and benefit reductions for workers.
City officials argue their May declaration of a fiscal emergency gives them the authority to force the concessions
on workers absent new deals with labor unions.
The city's biggest police and civilian unions have said they plan to challenge the council's action. If City Hall is
prevented from implementing pay cuts, city officials have said they will either have to eliminate about 170 more
positions or seek bankruptcy protection.
Stockton's general fund is the largely taxpayer-financed discretionary account for basic services such as police
and fire protection. The citywide budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year, which begins July 1 and includes all service;
and revenue sources, is $603 million.
